Mu Lan was given the task of producing 10 potions as part of his quest from the Alchemist Guild. All the required materials were provided by the guild, so he didn't have to worry about gathering them. However, the key point to note here was that a single mistake could prevent him from becoming an alchemist. Thus, Mu Lan's attention and skill during the production process were of paramount importance.

Mu Lan quickly set out to gather the necessary materials for potion making. Producing health potions was particularly critical because their formula was not widely known among players. With his experience in this field, Mu Lan efficiently collected the materials and was ready to begin the production process.

After gathering the materials, Mu Lan approached the alchemy bench. Carefully selecting the ingredients needed for the health potion, he prepared to start the production process. With focus and precision, he began to follow each step meticulously.

Potion making is indeed a delicate process. It's crucial to mix the ingredients in the right amounts and at the correct times. Additionally, the mixture must be homogeneous and reach the perfect consistency. A single mistake could affect the quality of the potion and lead to wasted materials. Therefore, working with care and precision was essential. Mu Lan knew he had to be careful and execute each step accurately.

Mu Lan grabbed a glass bottle and filled it halfway with water. Then, he lit the fire on the workbench and started heating the water. Once the water was warm, he added catnip to it. He patiently waited for the water to cool and then picked up the bottle. He gently shook it side to side, mixing the contents. The water turned green, and he lit the fire again, bringing the green mixture to a boil.

Once the mixture boiled, Mu Lan added morse herb and let it boil for another minute. He then removed the bottle and gently shook it side to side for thirty seconds. Finally, he looked at the screen indicating that the potion had been successfully produced.

Ding!

[Intermediate Health Potion successfully produced.]

Mu Lan was accustomed to seeing this screen. He continued producing potions over and over again. In a short time, he completed ten potions and successfully finished his novice training. As he approached the trainer to receive his reward, the trainer was slightly surprised. The potions Mu Lan had produced were of much higher quality than what was typically expected from novice alchemists. The alchemy trainer generously rewarded Mu Lan for these high-quality potions.

Training Reward:

Advanced Alchemist's RobeAlchemy WorkbenchTitle: Advanced AlchemistReputation +5

Mu Lan smiled sincerely as he received his reward. With his new title and robe, he felt excited about taking on more advanced alchemy projects.

Mu Lan was unaware that such a reward was possible. Since the beginning of the game, he had focused solely on potion recipes. However, he was now unexpectedly rewarded with a significant prize. The alchemy workbench was always available to him, which was a considerable advantage. Additionally, the alchemist's robe allowed him to produce better and more potions with minimal materials. This unexpected reward enabled Mu Lan to advance further in his alchemy journey and achieve greater successes.

Mu Lan felt proud of having earned his new title. Considering the attributes of this title increased his excitement. With the alchemist's robe, he could produce large quantities of potions even with minimal materials. Moreover, the 5 reputation points he gained were important to him. He now had a total of 6 reputation points, which would enhance his standing in the game's world. Mu Lan felt ready to face greater challenges and undertake more demanding quests as a more competent and recognized alchemist.

At that moment, a whisper came from Beng Zeng.

"Mu, I completed the training quests. I feel stronger than the others now. I'm coming to you."

Mu Lan's heart filled with joy upon hearing that Beng Zeng had completed his training. He felt excited about Beng Zeng's newfound strength. As he waited for Beng Zeng to arrive in the city, he prepared to obtain a shield for him. Then, the long-awaited hunting time would finally come.

"Okay, Beng, I'm waiting for you," he replied, preparing eagerly for the upcoming adventures.

Mu Lan was delighted to hear that Beng Zeng had completed his training. Now, they would return to the city together, and Mu Lan would provide Beng Zeng with a shield. After that, it would be hunting time for both of them.

Mu Lan walked towards the teleportation portal while waiting for Beng Zeng. Once Beng Zeng arrived, they would head to the Paladin trainer together. Wasting no time, he moved to the portal. Two minutes later, he saw Beng Zeng emerging from the portal. Together, they began to prepare for their next adventures.

Upon seeing Mu Lan, Beng Zeng immediately spoke.

"Mu, I completed the training. So, what are we going to do now? We were thinking of getting a shield, right?"

Mu Lan smiled. "Yes, we were really thinking about getting you a better shield. Your current one doesn't seem to be very useful. Once we get you a new shield, you'll feel much safer. Come on, let's go to the Paladin trainer together."

Beng Zeng, a bit puzzled, replied: "Paladin trainer? But he's not a vendor NPC, is he? How would he have a shield?"

Mu Lan whispered, "Just trust me, and remember to use whisper chat. We are in the city, and anyone can eavesdrop on our conversations. We should always speak in whispers."

"Okay, Mu, but what's so secretive?"

"You'll see when we get there..."
