Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Xia Mu let out a soft breath, opened her eyes again, and felt as if she had been messing around all night, her head throbbing with pain.

'The art of alchemy involves refining the fire of the spirit, tempering the essence of medicinal herbs, and combining them to form a elixir.'

The introduction is indeed simple, consisting of only three parts: the fire of the spirit, refining medicinal herbs, and synthesizing elixirs, each more complex than the last.

Xia Mu first went to understand the part about the fire of the spirit.

This kind of knowledge transfer only saves him the trouble of memorizing, but to truly understand and master it, he still needs to spend time on his own.

[Consuming 10 popularity points allows you to instantly learn the art of alchemy.]

System notification.

'Showing my current popularity rating.'

[Host's popularity score: 20000.]

Xia Mu was initially delighted, but then his expression turned sour.

'Where did I get 10 popularity points?'

[Consuming 2 popularity points will allow you to learn the first part of the Alchemy skill.]

'hehe…'

Xia Mu sneered.

'I'll learn by myself!'

[Difficulty in mastering alchemy: S-rank.]

'I'm determined to learn it myself!'

Xia Mu didn't believe in superstitions.

Ultimately, all the knowledge is now stored in his mind; the difficulty lies in how to apply it.

Just like even if you know all the mathematical formulas, there are still some problems you just can't solve.

'The fire of the spirit... um...'

What is spirit... How is spirit ignited...?

'How do I put it out once it's lit...'

'Are you sure you won't kill yourself...'

Xia Mu is now facing the final, most difficult math problem in the college entrance exam. Solving it will be a dream come true, but failing to solve it will be the end of him.

The remaining half of the night flew by, and soon a new day arrived.

"You're really back... Hmm? What's wrong?"

Sakurai Kogure opened her sleepy eyes and saw Natsuki lying flat beside her, his eyes vacant and his expression blank.

It felt like I had been raped…

"I haven't done anything to you yet!"

She reached out and poked Xia Mu's cheek.

Xia Mu's head bobbed from side to side like a ball.

Sakurai Kogure couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hehe..."

This was probably the most relaxing day she had had since taking over the Paradise House and working tirelessly every day.

This man, or rather this naive young man, is just too interesting…

"Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you don't move. I'm very good at flirting with men."

Sakurai Kogure straddled Natsuki, her hands rhythmically teasing his senses once more.

Xia Mu stared blankly at her, but his gaze was unfocused.

But as Sakurai Kogure's hands gradually ignited his body and a surge of heat rose within him, his eyes suddenly became lively.

'The body is the foundation upon which the spirit resides; the flow of the spirit is like the transmission of desire—it's a signal!'

'Burning? Isn't this burning?!'

Seeing his eyes darting around, Sakurai Kogure smiled even more charmingly: "Feeling something? I'd like to see how you escape this time."

She leaned down, lowering her red lips...

"I understand!"

Suddenly, Xia Mu sat up abruptly in bed.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Sakurai Kogure was first hit squarely on the forehead by his head, and then she was thrown off the bed.

"you!"

A beautiful woman's feigned anger is just as alluring.

But Xia Mu didn't even look at her.

A flame seemed to be burning in his eyes.

"What?"

Sakurai Kogure instinctively shrank back, as if she had encountered a mortal enemy, and her body spontaneously felt fear.

"laugh."

Xia Mu raised his right finger, and a wisp of dark red flame burned quietly at his fingertip.

"So... this is the flame of the spirit..."

He looked at the tiny flame with immense satisfaction, feeling very pleased.

I almost lost 2 popularity points to the system.

It seems I have a strong ability to understand things!

"Spirit...spirit materialization?!"

Sakurai Kogure was truly shocked, and almost uncontrollably exclaimed, "The Philosopher's Stone?!"

The Philosopher's Stone?

Xia Mu was stunned.

Sakurai Kogure's eyes held a mixture of fear and excitement: "No wonder, no wonder he and the general value you so much, so you can materialize your spirit!"

Xia Mu suddenly remembered the concept of the Philosopher's Stone.

That was the pinnacle of achievement that ancient human alchemy could attain, extracting the intangible spirit and attaching it to alchemical tools.

However, this technology has now been lost, and it can only be extracted from the dragon bones of dragon remains.

This is the Philosopher's Stone, the weapon for slaying dragons.

"I think I've created something incredible..."

Xia Mu stared blankly at the dark red flame at his fingertips.

Unexpectedly, before they could even develop alchemy, they created something similar to the Philosopher's Stone.

If you attach it to weapons or bullets…

Xia Mu's eyes were bright.

"Well…"

The next moment, his head slumped, the flame at his fingertips went out, and he instantly collapsed onto the bed, unconscious.

Sakurai Kogure: "..."

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Xia Mu's Words of Power?

"Well…"

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mu finally opened her eyes again.

My head is throbbing and throbbing, it's really uncomfortable.

"You're finally awake."

Sakurai Kogure, who was leaning against the bedside, immediately turned her head to look when she heard the noise.

"How long have I been asleep?" Xia Mu asked, getting up.

Sakurai Kogure held up one finger: "A whole day."

"So long..."

Xia Mu frowned.

[System notification: Uesugi Erii has initiated ten summons, but the host has not responded to any of them.]

"Uh…"

Xia Mu scratched his head.

I wonder how Erii is doing over there...

Let's figure out why she fainted first.

He began to search his mind, analyzing carefully, and soon discovered the problem.

'The mind depends on the body, and my body is too weak, so my mental energy is also very low, naturally it won't last long.'

Xia Mu reached up and scratched the back of his head.

'We still need to create that Blood Fusion Pill, and then rely on the dragon bloodline to improve my physique.'

For the next three days, he immersed himself in learning the other two parts of alchemy.

Sakurai Kogure didn't cause any more trouble. It's unclear whether she was frightened by his materialized spiritual fire or if the Oni Clan had some other plans.

Three days passed quickly.

"A 10-dollar alchemy skill is nothing special!"
