Chapter 13: Alchemy Furnace Phantom Body

  The room was filled with a faint, mysterious fragrance. Under the orange-yellow light, a stunning beauty with a fiery figure danced passionately to the music. Her plump breasts heaved and her waist swayed, her slender body twisting and turning like a snake, her prominent curves visible under the pink gauze.

  The music gradually becomes soft and seductive, filled with an ambiguous atmosphere that lingers and flows.

  Looking at the beautiful woman who had just been hooked up from the bar, Nie Kong was excited and made a squeezing gesture towards her chest. The beauty giggled and danced over to Nie Kong's side, her long legs spread apart, and she actually sat on Nie Kong's thigh with her legs straddling him.

  The full and plump twin peaks occasionally brushed against the empty chest, and the soft and gentle humming sounds were emitted from the beautiful woman's fiery red lips.

  "What a little demon who is to die for."

  The beauty's cry was like an aphrodisiac, and Nie Kong's reaction below became more and more intense. He couldn't help but let out a low growl, pressing the beauty down onto the bed. But just as he was about to turn into a beast and take advantage of her, the sensual and charming body beneath him suddenly flashed with light. The next moment, the beauty had transformed into a girl in a simple dress and hairpin, pure and lovely.

  "Uncle?"

  The beautiful girl's face was flushed red, and her sparkling eyes were filled with panic and shyness, as if asking Nie Kong why he had become so beastly.

  Uncle?

  "Sister-in-law? Huamei?"

  He took a closer look and Nie Kong was startled, as if he had been bitten by a snake. He suddenly flipped over and jumped up, and when he looked again, he realized that he was sitting on the bed. The window let in a white, hazy light, and the room was dimly lit, with only vague outlines of furniture visible, just like his bedroom at Nie's house.

  I actually had a spring dream, it seems that the past few days of living in this other world have been too tense! Nie Kong rubbed his eyes and shook his head with a bitter smile.

  Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sound echoed in my mind, followed by a very mechanical voice: "Pet 'Zi Luo Huan Ling Xiang' successfully upgraded to first rank, activated pet backpack four slots, learned first rank symbiotic combat skill 'Flower Explosion', learned symbiotic auxiliary skill 'Medicine Cauldron Phantom Body'."

  Xiang Xiang has leveled up?

  Nie Kong's eyes widened, his mind stirred, and the scene inside the "Jade Pool Hole" in the three spiritual orifices suddenly appeared in his brain: The Zi Luo Xuan Ling Xiang seed had grown into a small tender shoot, with its three small roots attached to the orifice, and on top of the slender stem was a small leaf, pale green with a hint of purple.

  Under Nie Kong's gaze, the little fellow joyfully shook its only small leaf, and a vigorous vitality radiated out.

  "The little guy is growing up fast."

  Nie Kong's face revealed surprise.

  The little guy absorbed a large amount of medicine power the day before yesterday and fell into a deep sleep. After that, there was no movement at all. Nie Kong thought it had absorbed too much and got into trouble, so he was worried for some time. Unexpectedly, two days passed, and when the little guy woke up again, it had actually leveled up to rank one.

  It wasn't until he had been excited for a while that Nie Kong suddenly remembered the voice in his mind from earlier.

  According to the demon's standards, first-class should be tenth-level. First-class skills should be skills between tenth and twentieth levels.

  The four first-tier skills of the pharmacist profession are: Healing Art, Gathering Yuan Art, Solidification Art, and Void Slash. The Healing Art is used to recover HP; the Gathering Yuan Art can consume a small amount of HP to instantly fill up MP; the Solidification Art can increase one's defense; and the Void Slash is the only attack skill for pharmacists below level 20. As for "Pharmaceutical Cauldron Transformation", it originates from the life profession "Alchemy" and can be learned at level 10, releasing a cauldron that can be used to brew medicine, lasting for 10 minutes, during which time 6 points of HP and MP are consumed every 5 seconds.

  Now, among the skills that Zi Luo Huan Ling Xiang has mastered after being promoted to a higher level, only "Yao Ding Huan Shen" belongs to the pharmacist player Nie Kong.

  "It seems that all other skill data has been lost."

  Nie Kong muttered to himself.

  But it's also good this way, skills like healing and buffing, even if he understood them, wouldn't be of any use. Nie Kong was now a real person, not just a player's data in the game, no HP value, no MP value, no defense value, how could he give himself health buffs or defense boosts?

  But "Medicine Cauldron Transformation" this alchemy skill, I wonder if it's still useful now, and whether its function is the same as in the game?

  "Oh no."

  Fragrant and sweet, the leaves rustled, a consciousness suddenly appeared in Nie Kong's mind.

  Medicine Cauldron Transformation: Pet "Xiang Xiang" transforms into a medicine cauldron, assisting the master in alchemy for 30 minutes. After each use, pet "Xiang Xiang" needs to rest for 12 hours.

  "Twice a day, once every twelve hours, is not bad."

  Nie Kong smiled slightly, using "Medicine Cauldron Phantom" in the Spirit Realm, without consuming HP and MP. The actual consumption should be Xiangxiang's spiritual power, that is, medicine power. If there wasn't enough medicine power for Ziluo Xiangling to absorb, the little guy would be weak and unable to transform into a Medicine Cauldron.

  Suppressing the urge to summon the Medicine Cauldron, Nie Kong shifted his attention to that other skill.

  Huabao: The initial form of the 9th-level skill 'Hua Shan Xue Hai' of the pet 'Xiangxiang', which requires both the master and the pet 'Xiangxiang' to cast together.

  Nine-tiered skill, Flower Mountain Blood Sea!

  For this skill, Nie Kong was more than familiar with it. It was one of the ultimate moves of the final BOSS, Ziluohua Xiangling. He had watched several videos of players fighting bosses on the official forum of the game, including a scene where Ziluohua Xiangling used "Huashan Blood Sea" to instantly kill dozens of high-level players. At that time, Nie Kong was only over level 60 and it really shocked him.

  The initial skill form of Huashan Blood Sea, it's almost there!

  Unfortunately, it's not possible to use skills like in the demon game, where you can release them directly. Now, if you want to master "Flower Explosion" and "Medicine Cauldron Transformation", you'll probably need to practice hard and harmonize with Xiangxiang.

  "Which one should I learn first?"

  Thinking of Huabao and Yaoding's disguise in his mind, Nie Kong pinched his chin and muttered to himself. After a long while, Nie Kong made up his mind and was about to take action when he suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten, and couldn't help but slap his forehead: "How could I have forgotten it?"

  Pet backpack four grids!

  In the game of demon and magic, all adopted pets have a backpack. However, generally speaking, three grids are the limit, only a very small number of top-quality pets may have a four-grid backpack.

  Pet backpack.

  Nie Kong silently thought to himself.

  In an instant, a white blurry area appeared in his consciousness, with a small transparent space in the center, about four cubic meters.

  It seems like one grid of pet backpack is equal to one cubic meter.

  After communicating with the little guy, Nie Kong only understood that this small space can store any non-living object, as long as it can be put down. His eyes scanned the room and saw the white cloth package wrapped in gold needles on the table, and immediately had a goal, so Nie Kong concentrated all his attention on it.

  In less than two seconds, the cloth bag mysteriously disappeared from the desktop and quietly lay in the pet backpack.

  "Good stuff, almost as good as the legendary space ring."

  Nie Kong was overjoyed. As far as he knew, the Tianling Continent didn't have such an item before. Now that there's a pet backpack, he could steal whatever he wanted, and as long as he was careful, no one would ever find out. It was truly a divine tool for thieves! Ah, Ami Doufu, you're too sinful, too sinful!

  Disguised as a fake monk, he muttered a Buddhist mantra in jest. As Nie Kong's mind stirred, the white cloth package moved from the pet backpack to the table. A few seconds later, the package returned to the pet backpack.

  Nie Kong was like a child who had just received a new toy, enthusiastically taking on the role of porter. In less than a minute, Nie Kong was dizzy and fell onto the bed like a dead dog, panting heavily with his mouth agape, really exhausting, being a porter wasn't that easy after all.
