My career has infinite upgrades.

Gu Qing held the crystal bottle, her gaze falling on the four pills, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.

The pills in the crystal bottle were only the size of a fingernail.

Two of them were yellowish-brown, while the other two were light blue, each with a ring of fine medicinal patterns on its surface.

This is specifically introduced in textbooks.

Attribute Enhancement Pill!

A masterpiece among specialties!

The requirements for refining attribute enhancement pills are very high.

Only those with an alchemy profession of at least S rank are qualified to refine it, and they also need many years of refining experience.

Moreover, these are not enough. During the refining process, the temperature, the fusion of medicinal power, and the purity of spiritual materials must all be carefully controlled. If any step goes wrong, the entire batch of pills will be ruined.

Most importantly, refining attribute-enhancing pills requires a controlled spiritual material called Star Marrow Flower.

Star Marrow Flowers only grow near high-level spatial rifts, and their harvesting and transportation are controlled by the Alliance, so they are almost never available on the market.

If one or two plants occasionally appear on the black market, their price will be skyrocketed.

In this situation, the price of attribute enhancement pills skyrockets, and it can be said that there is a high price but no market for them.

Gu Qing uncorked the crystal bottle, and a cool, medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.

There are two types of pills inside: one for enhancing physical constitution and one for enhancing mental strength.

[Body Strengthening Pill]

[Effect: Permanently increases constitution attribute by 1 point after consumption.]

[Mental Enhancement Pill]

[Effect: Permanently increases Spirit attribute by 1 point after consumption.]

Gu Qing put the stopper on the bottle, her eyes gleaming.

This controlled elixir is unlikely to appear in regular resource packs.

Only resource packs issued by official systems such as the Ministry of Education and the military have the opportunity to include attribute enhancement pills as rewards.

This is only the C-level resource pack.

Gu Qing immediately took out another spatial ring and probed it with his mental energy.

Tier B resource packs contain more items.

High-level recovery potions, energy crystals, monster blood essence, and several spiritual materials for strengthening one's profession's essence.

There was also a crystal bottle placed at the very back.

Gu Qing took it out and opened it to examine it.

Two Power Enhancement Pills.

Two Agility Enhancement Pills.

Although strength and agility are not as good as constitution and spirit attributes for Gu Qing at present, they are still very good.

After all, Gu Qing's approach is to focus on increasing his troops and improving himself. Regardless of the type of attribute improvement, the increase in combat power is quite significant.

Then, Gu Qing saw four more bottles of silver-white tonic inside and took them out.

[Essential Supplements]

[Effect: After consumption, one point of free attribute is gained, allowing the user to choose the direction for enhancement.]

Attribute enhancement pills can only improve the corresponding attribute.

The essence of supplements, however, allows for free selection and offers significantly higher value.

Similarly, concentrated supplements are even rarer and more valuable.

"Official resources are indeed more reliable than external ones."

Gu Qing carefully put away the four bottles of supplements, without rushing to take them.

Attribute-based elixirs cannot be effective indefinitely.

Everyone develops drug resistance.

The textbook gives a safety limit of ten per month, but that's the standard for high-level professionals.

Most newcomers who have just completed the first stage of advancement will start to lose the efficacy of the medicine after taking four pills a month, until it becomes ineffective.

Gu Qing has multiple professions and her physical endurance far exceeds that of ordinary freshmen.

But there's no need to waste precious resources on trial and error.

What he lacks most right now is physical and mental strength.

Physical constitution determines close combat ability and duration of continuous combat.

The spirit directly affects the Bone Spear, the Undead Guard, the Netherworld Armor, and the Contract Space.

As for strength and agility, those are not urgent at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing poured out two physique-enhancing pills and swallowed them directly.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a surge of heat quickly spread out.

A slight throbbing pain was felt simultaneously in the muscles, bones, and blood.

Gu Qing clenched his right fist.

The muscles in my arms tensed up, the blood flow in my body accelerated, and each heartbeat became more powerful.

[Successfully took the Constitution Enhancement Pill.]

[Physical attribute permanently increased by 2 points.]

Ten minutes later, the effects of the medicine gradually stabilized.

Gu Qing then took two more spirit-enhancing pills.

This time, a cooling energy surged to the head.

The mental perception that originally covered the room expanded outwards.

The dust on the corner of the table, the water flowing from the kitchen pipes, and the sound of leaves rubbing against each other outside the window all became clear.

[Successfully administered the Mental Enhancement Pill.]

[Permanently increase Spirit attribute by 2 points.]

The increase in four attributes is not significant.

However, this is a permanent increase without level restrictions.

The higher the level, the more attribute-enhancing equipment and skills there are, and the higher the value of these four basic attributes will be.

Gu Qing stretched his body and sealed the remaining pills and essence supplements separately.

These are all good things; they must be preserved carefully.

Afterwards, Gu Qing checked his current attributes.

Name: Gu Qing

【Strength: 20】

[Physical Fitness: 62]

[Agility: 23]

【Spirit: 66】

After advancing to the next level, each level provides 12 free attribute points. When Gu Qing reached level 14, he directly had 48 free attribute points, which he added to his physique and spirit.

In addition, the attribute boost from Cecilia and Melissant's level increases makes Gu Qing's current attributes look somewhat terrifying.

Just as Gu Qing was feeling the surge of power, Cecilia poked her head out from behind the sofa.

She stared at the empty crystal bottle and licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue.

"This is an attribute-enhancing pill, not candy."

Gu Qing glanced at her.

Cecilia pursed her lips, walked closer, and stroked Gu Qing's chest with her hand.

"Master, your physique has improved a lot. You should give me the holy elixir tonight."

She slowly moved her palm down.

"It's a good opportunity to test the effects of your enhanced physique, Master."

Gu Qing grabbed her wrist and pushed her away.

"If you touch me again, I'm going back to the contract space tonight."

Cecilia turned and sat back on the sofa, pulling Melissant aside to whisper something to herself.

"My master is getting more and more stingy."

Melissand nodded.

"He's never been generous before; he's always been stingy when it comes to giving you holy liquid."

Gu Qing ignored the two and took out talisman paper, talisman brush and fire-type energy dye.

After these days of practice, his Rune Apprentice Simplification Experience has reached 93 points.

Once you successfully create seven more fireball talismans, you can advance to the next level.

After his mental attributes improved, Gu Qing's perception of the energy dye became clearer.

The talisman brush fell.

Red lines spread rapidly along the center of the talisman paper.

The first main line.

Three energy-gathering patterns.

Finally, add stable nodes.

The entire talisman glowed red, then quickly retracted.

[Fireball talisman successfully crafted.]

[Simplified experience for Rune Apprentice +1.]

Gu Qing can now create runes successfully without relying on copying.

Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction and, without pausing, replaced the second talisman.

One.

Two.

Five.

Five complete fireball talismans quickly appeared on the table.

When the sixth talisman was halfway finished, the fire energy inside the talisman suddenly became disordered.

The red light on the talisman paper flowed back along the lines, heading straight for the talisman brush.

Gu Qing frowned slightly, twisted his wrist, suppressed two nodes with his mental power, and quickly pulled out a failed talisman with his other hand and covered it.

"Bang!"

After a muffled thud, the two talismans burned to ashes.

Gu Qing quickly replaced the talisman with a new one.

Failure is not a bad thing.

At least that energy backflow just now made him see the problem between the energy gathering pattern and the stable node.

My experience in making talismans has increased somewhat.

The sixth one, success.

The seventh one, success.

As the last stroke of the seventh talisman was completed, the fireball talisman on the table suddenly rose into the air.

A red line detached from the talisman and swirled around Gu Qing.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in my ear.

[Congratulations, host! Your experience in Simplified Rune Arts Apprenticeship has been maxed out.]

[The requirements for advancing to the next level have been met.]

[Should I advance to the next level immediately?]
