Chapter 67: Holy Spirit Elixir
What a cliché plot! However, under the rendering of a realistic scene, it brings a touch of emotion. It would be perfect if there was popcorn and cola.
Glancing at others.
Endless Sea was picking his nose, sitting cross-legged, almost falling asleep!
Brother Shiu seemed to be pondering, nodding occasionally.
Meanwhile, Youyoufen was softly sniffing, with glistening tears falling to the ground.
“…” At this moment, Zane was convinced he was still one of the more normal people.
…
“Thank you all for patiently listening to me,” Feiya expressed her gratitude.
Now that the plot was finished, it was time to get down to business.
“Feiya, take us to the Fountain of Life,” Zane cut straight to the point.
“Are you… really going to that contaminated place?”
Zane nodded, “Even if it’s contaminated, we still need to take a look.”
“… Alright, follow me,” she floated away, the corpse of the Death Knight had completely vanished.
However, Feiya, this vengeful spirit, still existed.
…
Speaking of which, after encountering the Death Knight, they hadn’t really run into any small monsters.
“They fear the presence of advanced undead creatures.” It seemed Feiya saw Zane’s confusion and provided an explanation.
So that’s it.
“Does that mean we have completed the extermination of the undead task?”
“Yeah,” she nodded gently, “But… extermination is just self-deceiving talk. Once his presence completely dissipates, new enemies will appear. I am left with this shattered soul and cannot provide you with anything.”
Damn, are you trying to renege on the reward!?
Fortunately, Feiya didn’t have that kind of thought, “Your purpose is the Fountain of Life, and you must be here for the Holy Essence Water.”
“And although the Holy Essence Water has various uses, you are willing to take the risk to come here, I assume it’s to create the Holy Spirit Elixir to save someone.”
Uh… completely guessed wrong! Don’t act like you know everything, it’s super awkward.
Nonetheless, Zane replied with a nod, “Yeah.”
“The Holy Spirit Elixir is made by mixing one part Holy Essence Water, two parts Sunshine Flower, two parts Bud of Creation, and one part Essence of Wood.”
System Notification: You have obtained the crafting recipe for ‘Holy Spirit Elixir.’
Holy Spirit Elixir Recipe: Add Holy Essence Water *1, Sunshine Flower *2, Bud of Creation *2, Essence of Wood *1 in order and mix.
Holy Spirit Elixir: Restores 25% of total health upon use, cooldown time of 1 minute. (Cooldown time is counted separately from ordinary potions.)
For a moment, everyone was stunned, clearly, each one of them received this notification.
Feiya continued talking, “However, that recipe is a complete waste of resources!”
“When I was young, I accidentally discovered that if you add crushed elemental crystals into the Holy Spirit Elixir and then include a portion of syrup, it becomes super delicious!”
Are you treating medicine like a drink? Who’s the one wasting resources here!?
System Notification: You have obtained the crafting recipe for ‘Holy Spirit Syrup.’
Holy Spirit Syrup Recipe: Add crushed elemental crystals *1 and syrup *1 to the Holy Spirit Elixir base.
Holy Spirit Syrup: Restores 33% of total health upon use, grants ‘Sweet into Heart’ state for 3 seconds, with a cooldown time of 1 minute. (Cooldown time is counted separately from ordinary potions.)
Sweet into Heart: The sweet taste eliminates all unhappiness! Immune to abnormal states during the duration.
Amazing!
“You’re a genius!” Zane gave a thumbs up.
Feiya smiled broadly, not saying much more.
Is this the reward? I didn’t expect to obtain the crafting recipe for a percentage potion this early in the game. If I accidentally kill this vengeful spirit… that unparalleled recipe would be lost.
Though this reward was unexpected, I still needed to clarify the status of the Fountain of Life.
The most crucial material, the Holy Essence Water, cannot be unusable; that would be a waste.
Moreover, there was one thing that Zane was particularly concerned about.
…
Based on the flow conditions of the spring water, it can be divided into intermittent springs and continuous springs.
And the current ‘Fountain of Life’ is clearly a continuous spring.
An unending stream of water flows down from the crevices in the rocks; the moss on the stones has long since disappeared, and no weeds grow.
Although the spring water continues to flow, its color is a grayish-white, making one doubt whether drinking it would still keep them alive.
However, nothing compares to the overwhelming pungent smell.
It’s the odor of rotting and decay, flowing away with the spring water.
They had not forgotten how toxic that little creek was before.
“The Fountain of Life is beyond saving…” Feiya’s voice was filled with despair.
“Feiya, you said this spring water is infected with the breath of death; could it be revived if we brought a priest?”
“No, the years of seepage can’t be resolved in a short time, and also, Xiao An… is quite special. At least 10 high-level priests must continuously unleash holy light spells upon the land and sky to have any effect.”
Zane’s mouth twitched. This guy is undoubtedly strong, but does it really have to be this exaggerated?
“However,” Feiya changed her tone, “if it’s the rumored Wishcaster, perhaps there might be a way.”
Alna? Thinking about it, since Alna sent me to get the Holy Essence Water, there’s no reason she wouldn’t realize the Fountain of Life has been polluted… If that’s the case… she should be able to handle it!
Zane took out the prepared bucket—an ultra-durable bucket purchased for 3 copper coins, guaranteed for quality by the shop owner…
“Hiss—”
As soon as the bucket filled with a layer of spring water, it began to corrode outward, soon starting to leak.
One drop even accidentally dripped onto Zane’s foot.
-300
The black water droplet bubbled incessantly. Fortunately, this is a game; otherwise, his foot would be ruined!
“Ah—!” Even so, the pain was still quite real.
To his teammates, it looked like a golden-haired loli carrying a bucket just scooped up a bucket of water, and after lifting it up, a drop fell on her, making her cry out in pain.
Brother Shiu facepalmed, sweat running down his brow, “What are you doing?”
Damn shopkeeper! One day I will get you back!
No, this really has nothing to do with the shopkeeper.
“Adventurer, what are you…?” Feiya did not understand this puzzling behavior.
“Obviously, if it can’t be purified, we’ll take it back to purify it!” Zane said matter-of-factly.
“…”
“Zanny,” Youyoufen suddenly called out to herself. Because of the previous changes, she told them to call her Zanny.
“What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t you a Wishcaster?” Youyoufen said weakly.
Zane felt like he had been struck by lightning… what the heck, how could she not know? The problem is, he didn’t know how to handle it either.
Forget it, let’s just try each skill one by one.
“Wish—Flame!” The Fire Curtain rose before the spring water, blocking a stream of water.
To be precise, it filtered it.
The water that passed through the Fire Curtain became significantly clearer!
Effective!
“Brother Sea, help me collect some spring water!” Zane shouted quickly, tossing out a bucket from his bag.
“Count on me!” Endless Sea took it and scooped forward, this time it wasn’t corroded!
“Hehe,” Zane looked at the total of 50 buckets including himself and Starry and couldn’t help but smile.
