Chapter 298: The Alchemy Book
Chapter 298: The Alchemy Book
As Shane and Lysandra walked towards the canyon, their surroundings painted a picture of desolation and danger. The roads were filled with marks of battles, and there were even footprints from Giant Zombies.
Nonetheless, Shane was quite relaxed, and he was even engrossed in the contents of the Alchemy book he was holding. After all, he had A.I. Cloud that could warn him if there was any approaching danger.
Lysandra didn't know this, so her keen eyes would always scan the horizon, her senses sharp for any signs of lurking threats.
As they got closer to their destination, her gaze swept across the landscape, searching for any hidden dangers that might lie in wait.
Well, she had actually received a gift from Shane after joining the Eclipse Revenant Clan… It was a free upgrade of one item to Epic Grade! This was the reason why she really wanted to show her strength and not make Shane regret his choice to invite her to his Clan.
After all, she had only collected about 31 Item Upgrade Crystals ever since she had arrived here. These crystals were simply too difficult to obtain since low-tier Zombies rarely drop them. And even if she wanted to try looting a high-tier Zombie, she doesn't have the skill to kill them alone. She had to work with many others, and obviously, she never got the chance to loot a high-tier Zombie.
Anyway, for a Common Grade to reach an Epic Grade requires 143 Item Upgrade Crystals. That was certainly not a small amount of Crystals. Because of that, she didn't immediately decide what item to upgrade and told Shane that she would still think about it.
'Maybe I can get a better weapon, or there might be a piece of equipment I can buy in the Survivor Store. Mhmm… Now that I think about it, I should probably get a defensive item instead of a weapon. My combat clothes, shoes, and accessories weren't being helpful lately.' Lysandra mused as she glanced at Shane, who was reading the book he had found in the Golden Treasure Chest.
'Alchemy Book, huh… Is he planning to learn Alchemy? Won't he waste his current talent if he learned that instead of focusing on what he's good at?' Lysandra thought to herself before shaking her head.
Shane wasn't an idiot. He must just be curious about the Alchemy Book…

Shane, on the other hand, was already feeling excited after reading a few recipes listed in the book.
"This is really awesome… I can even get rich with this." Shane muttered as he had already considered selling some weak Survivor Skills that were listed in the book.
After all, since this Blood Alchemy Book was found in a Golden Treasure Chest, he knew that there would come a day when some other people would also obtain this same book. It may not happen in a few months, but it could happen in a year or two once everyone has gotten stronger.
'Well… I still have to wait until everyone becomes richer before selling them.' Shane muttered. That way, he would be able to get the most out of it.
After all, if he tried selling them now, they would just be sold for a dirt cheap price.
Anyway, one of the listed recipes was one of the Jumper Zombie's skills.
[ Three-Meter Jump Skill ]
[ Ingredients:
Experience tales at M V L
5 liters of Jumper Zombie Blood
4 tablespoons of Mud Seed
400 grams of Mutated Chives Essence
300 grams of Ocean Herb Powder
2 cups of Moonlight Dew
Instructions:
Combine Jumper Zombie Blood, Mud Seed, Mutated Chives Essence, and Ocean Herb Powder in a large cauldron over low heat. Stir the mixture clockwise for 30 minutes until well blended. Add Moonlight Dew and continue stirring gently. Allow the mixture to cool to a lukewarm temperature. Soak your feet in the concoction for 1 hour. After soaking, allow the mixture to dry naturally on your skin.
You will awaken the next day with the ability to jump three meters high effortlessly.
Remarks: You will obtain a Permanent Three-Meter Jump Skill that can be used three times a day, but you can soak your feet for only 10 minutes to obtain a temporary Three-Meter Jump Skill. The duration could be 3 to 5 days instead, but you can use it five times a day. ]
'Interesting… You can also modify it a bit and change the effect. Incredible…'
This skill was actually not that great, but it was still quite useful. It could certainly be sold for a lot of money if he ever needed it. He could also use it for trade if he found some interesting items being sold in the Marketplace.
Anyway, Shane had a lot of high-tier Zombie Blood, so he ignored this page for now.
He quickly flipped the page as he started looking for the recipe that had Giant Zombie Blood as the main ingredient. Giant Zombie was a powerful high-tier Zombie so the skill he could get from it would surely be not disappoint.
"Ohhh… This recipe looked really good." Shane muttered as he turned another page and realized that the recipe he found required two types of Zombie Blood.
[ Titan's Roar Skill ]
[ Ingredients:
200mL of Juggernaut Zombie Blood
800mL of Giant Zombie Blood
400 grams of Ancient Oak Moss
1 Corrupted Hearthstone
1 Vial of Mutagenic Serum
Instructions:
Mix Juggernaut Zombie Blood and Giant Zombie Blood in a cauldron made of stone. Stir in Ancient Oak Moss and let it steep for 3 hours. Grind the Corrupted Hearthstone into a fine powder and sprinkle it into the mixture. Pour the Mutagenic Serum with a steady hand. Heat the elixir until it reaches a simmer. Transfer the elixir to a flask and seal it tightly.
Rest it for 6 hours.
Consume the elixir to fortify your body with the resilience of a giant, enhancing your durability and vitality.
Remarks: You will obtain a Permanent Titan's Roar Skill without negative effects. Reverse the amount of Juggernaut Zombie Blood and the Giant Zombie Blood to get the Armored Dash Skill ]
