Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 291 The Return of Ten Thousand Swords (Monkey Version)!

Li Xia stood in front of the mixing table. The room, which wasn't very big, was filled with newly purchased equipment and instruments.

In fact, the equipment and instruments are not very complicated. The art of harmonization is more like a product of ordinary matter and energy undergoing a wonderful change in properties, and then being blessed by the power of the temple.

He opened his alchemy panel; this time, he was going to make a secret medicine.

It was also an upgrade reward after completing the last order; in reality, the Brotherhood didn't need that many medicines at all.

However, high-quality medicines are always in high demand, and small merchants will use this as a favor or a bonus, and customers are quite satisfied.

The secret medicine requires other ingredients as a base, mainly nutrients plus Datura mushrooms.

The nutrient supplement is made by mixing nutrient supplement with special honey.

In short, the charm of the art of blending lies in the layer-by-layer blending, constantly adding materials to the most basic medicine to form new medicines.

The pale blue nutrient solution in the container resembled a deep blue sea, but when the special honey was added, the blue seemed to boil, becoming even more profound.

Fine powder made from ground datura mushrooms is sprinkled in, and then vital energy is injected in a special way.

The boiling liquid was strangely decreasing and becoming thicker.

Until a thin layer of paste remained at the bottom of the vessel.

Scrape off these paste-like substances, knead them into a ball, and a secret medicine is freshly made.

Li Xia casually changed the producer to 'Tongrentang', and it turned out to be a secret medicine of excellent quality.

[Secret Medicine (Excellent)]

[Rank: Blue - Ultimate (Effective within Rank 3)]

[Producer: Tongrentang]

[Type: Recovery Item/Consumable]

[Effect: Restores 4000 health points and increases maximum stamina by 20%. (Stamina bonuses do not stack.)]

[Maximum dosage per world: 5; beyond 5, the effect decreases by 50% for each additional dose]

It's alright, very good, it can definitely be used as my main medicine.

According to estimates, my life points are around four or five thousand.

The properties of the secret medicine were directly attributed to Lancelot of the Brotherhood.

Almost immediately, the communicator began to vibrate wildly.

"Brother Xia, is this a new drug? Does it have the properties of a regular quality drug?"

"Hmm, what price do you think is appropriate?"

Li Xia also pasted the normal attributes over.

Lancelot paused for a moment, presumably contacting their small merchant guild.

"Brother, this is considered a full recovery potion at the third tier, and it also has a buff that increases the maximum stamina."

The price of ordinary quality potions is between 5500 and 6000, while the price of excellent quality potions is around 6500 Hall Points. If you are short of this kind of treasure potion, the price will increase.

The main problem is that the injury cannot be healed. If the injury could be healed, the extent to which it could be recovered would determine the extent of the increase.

If you're using this medicine, 45 pills will be enough.

Li Xia looked at the reply on the communicator and nodded slightly; it was about what she had expected.

"Okay, 45."

After hanging up the call, Li Xia sorted and arranged the materials that Aowu had collected.

The advantage of modular and intelligent farming is that the returns are quite precise, requiring only a little over 60 sets of materials.

If we include the failures, we should be able to make a little over fifty.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xia immersed herself completely in the experience.

Let's do it!
As promised, 45 secret medicines were sent over, including 10 of excellent quality and 2 of perfect quality.

The fraternity valued human relationships, so Li Xia reciprocated in kind.

The perfect quality remains unchanged, except for an additional 20% damage recovery.

I have 6 finished products left, three excellent and three perfect, just enough for Aowu, Heitan, and myself to each have one.

"Boss, have you managed to get the secret medicine?"

Aowu looked at what Li Xia had saved and asked in the team channel.

"Yes, two pills each, keep them as a backup. No need to be frugal. We won't have to worry about medicine for at least six months."

Six months later, he would probably have experienced five or six worlds, and the time-space copper coins would be of little use to him.

"Alright, I've also found out some things, and the kitten has been upgraded."

The kitten had eight attribute points this time. Last time it benefited from the rounding bonus, but this time the 0.4 attribute points were just paying off a debt and were directly wiped out.

【Alice - Black Charcoal】

Black Charcoal previously focused on Dexterity, Intelligence, and Physique, making him slightly better than ordinary Apostles.

But now that he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, he has become a major consumer of chakra.

Therefore, we must also ignite the spirit.

Originally, Li Xia was thinking of waiting another one or two worlds, until he reached the top level of Tier 3, before considering joining a solo guild.

Now, because of Aowu's resurrection, he can consume attribute points, and Black Charcoal's skills have also started to consume mana.

It's a situation where the die is cast and there's no turning back; we have to force him to solve this problem.

"Okay, I'll use my personal space."

Just as Li Xia was about to end the call, she suddenly remembered something: "Bring me a meal, a combined army, navy, and air force set meal."

The "Land, Sea, and Air Force Tri-Service Set Meal" refers to a meal made with three ingredients: poultry, mountain delicacies, and seafood. It is packed with energy and tastes quite good.

"Okay!"

Several large plates were placed on the table. Li Xia, who had been refining the secret medicine all day, felt extremely hungry.

Aowu and Heitan had already eaten outside, so only he was enjoying his meal, while Aowu chatted casually about the information he had gathered.

"Boss, setting up a guild is pretty simple. You just need to pay to register, and the price isn't expensive either. 3000 Hall Points will be enough."

Li Xia paused, somewhat surprised. He had thought he would have to go through some fierce battles or high-difficulty missions before being able to establish guilds of different levels based on the evaluations.

But Li Xia never expected that all she had to do was pay money. Then, she realized what was going on.

Setting thresholds for establishing a guild doesn't seem necessary; the distinction should be made based on the subsequent rating system.

"So there are still challenges on how to increase the guild level later on?"

"More or less, but not mandatory."

With a flick of its little paw, a small clump of water immediately sprang from the cup in front of it, swimming around its body as if it were alive.

Then it gradually spread out in front of you, forming the letters D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

"Boss, these are the guild levels. You can also choose how the level is displayed, such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, etc. These are just minor details."

Aowu waved his hand again, and the D-level logo appeared: "All established guilds are D-level, possessing basic functions such as guild channels, the ability to apply for a room as the guild headquarters, 10 cubic meters of shared space, and team warehouses."

Each tier also requires a maintenance fee; tier 3 costs approximately 1 points.

Then the letter C grew larger, and Awoo's spirits were also lifted:
"Guild skills begin with C-rank guilds, but the skill cap for C-rank guilds is C, which is somewhat useful but not much."

Similarly, Rank B has Rank B skills, and Rank A has Rank A skills.

The skill we need is at Rank A, I think it's called 'Unity of Mind', which extra boosts the attribute point gain of followers, summons, and companions.

Sure enough!
Li Xia's eyes lit up, and she tore off a piece of bone and flesh that often appeared in anime.

If the acquisition rate remains at 40%, then those Apostles who rely on summoning or minions for reinforcement will become unplayable.

Because the gap between the two will widen, they will become ineffective and instead become a hindrance.

This clearly contradicts the logic of the temple, which encourages apostles to forge their own paths and explore infinite possibilities.

"What about the guild level?"

Li Xia swallowed the meat soaked in broth, and he had a vague premonition that the upgrade of the Hall of Light guild might have unexpected developments.

Sure enough, Aowu maneuvered the dragon egg forward a little and said seriously:

"Points system!"

"A points system?"

"When you register with a guild, the Hall of Light will give you a baseline score based on your past mission experience, which is your rank."

The upper limit is Grade A.

This is the only opportunity to cross multiple ratings; if the base score is too low, you can only upgrade honestly.

For example, if someone establishes a guild and ranks it as D-level, they can complete guild tasks issued by the Hall of Light to earn a lot of points.

It can also be converted into a small amount of points based on the final evaluation during normal adventures.

Once you have enough points, accept and complete a C-level guild mission to upgrade your guild to C-level!

For example, when we establish a guild, we are directly classified as A-level. At this point, as long as we complete an A-level task, we can directly become an A-level team!
Skip the slow, gradual progression!

Aowu became more and more excited as he spoke, because this rule was very advantageous to strong players like the leader who had fought their way up with high scores.

Looking back on all the worlds he's experienced, the boss's rating has never been lower than S! There's even a perfect S+ rating.

This also meets the requirements of the Hall of Light. According to this rule, once Li Xia forms a team, it is very likely that it will immediately become an A-level guild!
All you need to do is complete one A-level mission. For a single guild leader, an A-level mission is a piece of cake.
"Then we should act without delay and get the guild sorted out during this stay in the space. We can't let it drag on any longer."

Li Xia savored the taste, feeling that something was missing. Hmm, it was a big meal, but it lacked entertainment.

"By the way, why don't you guys discuss a name for the guild?"

As soon as the suggestion was made, Xiaolong and Heitan's eyes lit up.

"Legend of the Dragon King!"

"Meow! (Let's all meow like cats!)"

In the blink of an eye, the friendship between Aowu and Black Charcoal was overturned.

It was a true battle of 'dragons and tigers'.

Li Xia put the meat bone aside, picked up a large piece of meat that was said to be from the world of One Piece, and put it into his mouth.

They watched with great interest as the dragon and cat argued vehemently about the names they had chosen for themselves.

They still couldn't agree on a name until the very end.

Actually, it does have a name in the end.

Unfortunately, he was ruthlessly suppressed by Li Xia.

"Stab!"

A blinding flash of lightning streaked across half the square. A cold glint flashed in the black-clad man's eyes, and he let out a sharp shout.

The long sword in his hand was held horizontally incredulously, with green flames flickering on it.

"when!"

The Night Silence that had transformed into a lightning spear was actually blocked, but before the man in black could react further, a figure suddenly appeared above the Night Silence.

Even the NPCs in the training grounds, evolved from the Temple of Light, were filled with astonishment at this moment.

Li Xia was clearly over 100 meters away just moments ago, how did he get here?
But Li Xia didn't give him any chance. He appeared and gripped the spear with one hand, giving it a slight shake.

The silence of the night then emitted a buzzing sound, a strange rhythm transmitted from the spear to the longsword, and the man in black felt as if the longsword in his hand was also trembling slightly.

Then it suddenly bounced away!

Chance!
The spear tip flashed coldly in the still night, accompanied by a very slight hissing sound, and instantly pierced the chest of the man in black.

Blood gushed out, and the man in black, gripping the gun barrel, slumped helplessly to the ground, but the surrounding henchmen had already swarmed over.

Li Xia flicked his spear, leaped into the air, his free left hand forming a sword finger, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Unsheath!

Amidst the clear, melodious sound of the sword, the Murakumo Sword, held horizontally at the waist, nimbly flew out, as if drawing a white rainbow in mid-air.

Li Xia's eyes flashed with a sharp light. With a flick of his wrist, the Congyun Sword transformed into a white light and shot straight away.

"point!"

His true qi flowed away rapidly like water, while the Murakumo Sword instantly split into two, then into 4, and then 8, to the astonishment of the men in black.
It seemed like only a brief moment, but a sea of ​​swords appeared behind Li Xia.

He casually waved his left hand, which was held out to the side, downwards with his sword-like fingers extended.

The thousands of Murakumo swords behind him trembled and emitted bursts of sword cries.

Then—it rained down.

Aowu and Heitan, who were watching from the sidelines, saw Li Xia holding a gun in one hand, hovering in mid-air, with countless swords raining down behind him.

Before they knew it, their mouths were wide open and their eyes were bulging.

Regardless of its power, even if the power of this sword shadow clone technique is only 3% of the original's power, even if creating this scene is enough to drain the boss's true energy.

Even if he can only be handsome for three seconds,

"Damn, that's handsome!"

Awoo exclaimed in heartfelt admiration; regardless of its power, the scene was truly awe-inspiring.

Even the former leader would have needed to spend considerable effort to deal with these few hundred miscellaneous soldiers.

And now? Just a gesture!
"The way the boss looks now reminds me of an old friend."

Aowu's eyes held a sense of reminiscence, yet also a hint of melancholy; his gaze was distant and profound.

Black Charcoal let out a curious "meow".

"Pah! Your 'old friends' are the real problem! I'm talking about 'old friends' in the bloodline."

That old friend, with just a gun and a dog, slaughtered so many that no one in the entire void dared to challenge him!

The current leader seems to have some of his traits.

With a long sigh, the little paws gripped the wine glass, swirling the water inside.

"My strength could uproot mountains, my spirit could cover the world! But the times are against me, and my steed will not go!"

"Meow?"

"Haven't you seen Ling Ling Qi? Hey, tell me, why did the boss reject our proposed 'Dragon, Tiger, Dog' guild name?"

"Meow!"

(Maybe the boss thinks you're being too much of a jerk!)

Today I went back to the mountains for the tenth anniversary of my grandfather's passing. I had originally planned to take leave, but I still did my best to finish it!
