When Xu Bai returned home, he happened to see Wang Qiang standing at the door with two bags of medicinal herbs.

“Brother Bai.”

Wang Qiang stood up from the ground and looked at Xu Bai, who was walking over. He picked up the two bags of herbs in his hand.

“I got it.” “Let's buy them separately.”

“Right.”

“It's been hard on you.”

“Not at all, not at all.”

Xu Bai thanked him and opened the door. He took the bag of medicinal herbs from Wang Qiang's hand and carried them into the room.

Wang Qiang, who was following behind, also said that it was not difficult. Then, he looked at Xu Bai with a hesitant expression.

After Xu Bai placed the two bags of medicinal herbs on the sofa, he looked at Wang Qiang's expression.

“What happened?”

“You didn't come back just now. I went to Skinny Monkey's house.”

“Yes, why?”

Xu Bai nodded and walked towards the wine cabinet. He seemed to have thought of something. “Did Skinny Monkey say something to you?”

After that night, Skinny Monkey left his place and returned to his own house in Block 3.

Still..

For the past few days, in order to be safe, Skinny Monkey had been squatting at home and not going out since he had the upgraded Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique.

During this period of time, he had asked Wang Qiang to help him purchase food and drinks.

Wang Qiang looked at Xu Bai, who had taken out a wine bottle and wine glass from the wine cabinet. He took a deep breath and took a few steps forward. Then, he looked at Xu Bai. “Can I learn from Skinny Monkey?”

Looks like I was right.

Hearing Wang Qiang's words, Xu Bai raised his head and looked at Wang Qiang.

When Wang Qiang said that he had gone to Skinny Monkey's house, he had already guessed what Wang Qiang wanted to say.

[Name: Wang Qiang]

[Gender: “Male”]

[Familiarity: 20021 (Friends of Life and Death!)]

Xu Bai retracted his gaze and handed a glass of wine to Wang Qiang.

“Didn't Skinny Monkey teach you?” “He said he wanted your permission.”

“Haha.”

Xu Bai smiled and shook his head. “What do you mean by permission? If you want to learn, you can ask him to teach you.”

Wang Qiang's eyes lit up. “Brother Bai, so you agree?”

Xu Bai smiled.

“Why wouldn't I agree? Why? Did you think I wouldn't agree?”

“No, I thought

“You and the others are all my best friends. I won't be wary of you. If I were, I wouldn't have asked you for help five years ago.”

“Brother Bai!”

Xu Bai finished the wine in his glass and looked at the excited Wang Qiang. He smiled and said, “I originally wanted to find time to tell you guys about this after I'm done with my work. It's good that you know now. I'm almost done with my work. If you want to learn, let Skinny Monkey teach you. After all, he knows more than me.” What cultivation?

What cultivation?

Xu Bai had no impression of these two.

He would only level up.

Xu Bai did not lie to Wang Qiang.

He did plan to deal with the mess on hand after he was done and had the energy and time to deal with the matter at hand.

In a single sentence.

If he did not trust Wang Qiang, he would not have transferred 100,000 yuan to

Wang Qiang in the afternoon after obtaining the address of the Black Snake Nemo. He also sent the ingredients for the Essence Replenishing Pill to Wang Qiang and asked him to buy it for him.

Back then, the driver who caused his parents and sister's car accident was caught by Wang Qiang and the others five years ago for Xu Bai.

The two childhood friends of Old Factory Street still went to the place where the driver was imprisoned every day to look after him.

After all, the dozen or so best friends on Old Factory Street had all been nurtured by him step by step since he was young. His trust in them was not inferior to Team Leader Zhou and Zhu Cong.

After receiving Xu Bai's affirmative answer without any hesitation, Wang Qiang was excited. Although he did not say anything, his Familiarity value increased rapidly.

Xu Bai seriously suspected that if he allowed Wang Qiang to stay here any longer, the value would soon be off the charts. Thus, he simply chased Wang Qiang out after he finished the wine in his hand.

After all, he still had work to do.

Half an hour later.

Xu Bai washed his hands and sat on the sofa. He looked at the herbs on the coffee table in front of him that had been picked up and sorted into categories.

The next second.

Xu Bai waved his right hand and took out the wooden box containing the

Dragon Heart Herb from his inventory. There was also the Hundred Herbs Visualization Painting that was appraised to be worth 100 million but was actually not a rare calligraphy painting but a visualization diagram.

If a worker wanted to do a good job, he had to sharpen his tools first.

Xu Bai touched his chin and looked at the visualization diagram in his hand. The information appeared in front of him again. He muttered to himself and chose to learn it. At the same time, he directly maxed out the skill.

In an instant.

Xu Bai felt a lot of knowledge surging into his mind. It went from unfamiliar to familiar to familiar, and finally to memorized. It was almost done in one go.

[Cultivation Technique Name: Visualization of Hundred Herbs]

[Cultivation Technique Attribute: Support]

[Quality: Red]

[Current Level: “Ten!”]

[Highest Level: “Ten!”]

[Cultivation Technique Maximum Level Bonus: Recovery Speed+10%, Recovery Effect of Using Pills+10%]

[Cultivation Technique Effect: Increase success rate of alchemy by 20%, increase quality of medicinal pills by 20%.]

[Note: “Learning to forge and increasing strength is better than this. “]

“None of your business!”

Xu Bai opened his eyes and let out a breath. He could feel the dispiritedness in his body dissipating. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “I have plenty of skill points. I'm inhumane.”

He had already learned to be immune to the system's vicious remarks as usual. He had even developed the habit of replying to the system's vicious remarks.

Xu Bai clapped his hands. “Alright, the visualization diagram is done. What's next? How do I practice it? By the way, I still need a furnace.”

Alchemy, alchemy.

How could he refine pills without a furnace?

He couldn't possibly go to the kitchen and wash the pressure cooker that hadn't been used in five years and make do with it.

Stop fooling around.

Refining pills was a very professional skill. No matter what, they had to use matching tools. After all, refining pills required a furnace to have a sense of ritual.

What's with the pressure cooker?

It was alright for the poor to pay attention to it.

But he was not poor.

Although he was very poor in reality, it was no exaggeration to say that he was a millionaire in the mall.

With a thought, Xu Bai opened the game store and found what he was looking for in the junk.

The first thing he saw was… [Name: Primordial Furnace!]

[Quality: Supreme]

[Effect: Increases success rate by 1,000%.] [Special effect: “It can suppress luck!!!”]

[Price: “One billion Game Currency”]

[Description: “Heaven and earth have yet to be created, and the primordial chaos is together. This furnace was born from the primordial chaos and was born naturally. It can be said to be the Primordial Furnace!”]

[Name: Heaven and Earth Furnace]

[Quality: “Gold”]

[Effect: Increases success rate by 1,000%.] [Special Effect: “You can also refine the five elements!”]

[Price: “500 million Game Currency “]

[Description: “A Supreme picked the first weather and fused the first Earth Qi into it. After refining for 8,880 years, he finally obtained this furnace.”]

Xu Bai looked at the interface that appeared after he clicked on it, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

Dog system, you did it on purpose!

He dared to swear that the interface he opened yesterday was normal. At the very least, the price was within his Acceptable range.

But now, as soon as he opened it, he saw the words “poor” plastered on his face.

At this moment.

The interface refreshed again. It seemed that after Xu Bai realized that he was poor in reality and in the game, a more normal interface finally refreshed.

At first glance, Xu Bai took a fancy to the first-ranked furnace.

[Name: Wishful Infinite Furnace (Recommendation!)] [Quality: Red]

[Effect: Increase success rate of refining pills by 30%.]

[Special Effect: Engraved with the Ruyi Formation, it can change its size according to the user's will!]

[Price: “500,000 Game Currency!”]

[Description: “You don't want to fail your first time refining pills, right?!”]

The furnace was very beautiful. It had two big ears and looked very beautiful. Moreover, the color was the black and white that Xu Bai liked.

But…

What did this mean?

Was it threatening him?

Xu Bai looked at the description on the furnace's status interface. He had a feeling that this sentence was thick, but it was very inexplicable. Whether it was reading it or looking at it, it gave him a strange feeling.

Was it an illusion?

Xu Bai subconsciously looked at the other furnaces. After scrolling down two pages, he returned to the first page, the Wishful Infinite Furnace recommended by the mall.

The other furnaces were cheap, but all in all, they were not as good as this furnace. There were even a few expensive ones, but they did not have the effect of changing the size.

I'll take this one.

Xu Bai looked at the price and gritted his teeth.

Purchase!

Ding!

“Detected that the player is carrying a rare item refresh card. You can use the refresh card to deduct 100,000 Game Currency. Do you choose to deduct it?”

“Deal…”

Xu Bai came back to his senses. When he heard the system's voice in his ear, he subconsciously said, but he reacted and braked in time. “No deduction! I like to shop in full.”

'You must be joking.'

You want to snatch my Refresh Card, even though I don't know how to use it?

Don't even think about it!

Ding!

[Purchase… successful![

[A smiling emoji!]

A ray of light flashed and landed in his inventory.

Xu Bai opened his backpack and saw the Wishful Infinite Furnace that he had spent 500,000 yuan on lying quietly in one of the compartments.

The next second.

Xu Bai waved his right hand and took out the furnace he had just bought from his inventory.

The Wishful Infinite Furnace sat quietly in Xu Bai's palm. It looked extremely new, as if it had just left the factory.

Xu Bai looked at the Wishful Infinite Furnace and then at the medicinal herbs used to refine the Essence Replenishing Pill on the coffee table.

He blinked.

“I have the herbs.” “I also have a cultivation technique.”

“There's a stove.”

“And?” “How?”

“A novice guide?”
