Chapter 127: Elemental Disruption Elixir
Boom!
Kaboom!
Kapow!
Mini mixture explosions one after another, Xu Feng continuously failed on the final step of the synthesis.
His face— was completely black from being exposed to the black smoke numerous times.
Nevertheless, he didn't care about his current appearance as Xu Feng refused to believe that not one of them would be successful after numerous attempts.
"Hmph, I want to see just how much more it can fail!" He snorted coldly, starting another round of synthesis.
Alas, what followed after was another explosive, but this time, Xu Feng seemed to be ready and was able to throw the mixture away in time, saving him from another mini blast to the face.
As he threw away another failure batch, Xu Feng started laughing in a maniacally manner.
"Fuck you and your lady luck! This is why I refuse to rely on luck and work hard on everything with full preparation!" He cursed loudly, losing his composure.
No matter how calm and collected a person was, there would always be a limit to how much they could endure.
And failing at least 20 times was nearing his limit!
50% chance of success yet all 20 attempts ended up in a puff of smoke, ruining all of his efforts and the process herbs being wasted.
How could one not be frustrated by such a result?
Thankfully, the ranting only lasted for a few minutes before Xu Feng returned to his usual composure.
He retrieved some water and splashed it on his face, cleaning every nook and cranny thoroughly.
Refreshened, Xu Feng clenched his fist and adjusted his glasses, creating a sharp glint.
"You would have thought if you believe I am just going to give up like this." He sneered coldly, mocking at the empty atmosphere around him.
After mocking the empty atmosphere, Xu Feng quickly got to work and began the synthesis process again.
Time slowly passed by, and he was at the stirring process again. Unlike previous times, Xu Feng didn't recognize any alarming signs.
Despite this, he maintained a calm composure, his eyes staring intensely as the components bound together into the cohesive and potent serum he was looking for.
'One last stir…' Xu Feng thought to himself, stirring it one last time before pouring the final mixture into a sturdy container, ensuring it was sealed properly to prevent leakage and to preserve its potency.
"Success!"
He was instantly relieved once he sealed the container and completed the synthesis.
It was at this time that a system prompt appeared, similar to the previous time when he completed the synthesis of the Fire Resistance Potion, albeit with some minor difference.
System: Congratulations to Baron Lin Feng for being the first player to synthesize an Elemental Disruption Elixir. Do you wish to announce your achievement in the local region?
Just like last time, Xu Feng instantly rejected the suggestion in announcing his achievement to the local region.
He had enough trouble at hand already, and announcing it would only bring more troubles.
Only a fool would say yes to it!
However, he was astonished by another prompt right after refusing to announce his achievement.
System: Congratulations to Baron Lin Feng for his exceptional skills in herbology and setting a new standard in the realm of magical synthesis for other adventurers. You shall be rewarded with the Title: Master Alchemist!
'A title from the system?' Xu Feng raised an eyebrow. 'When did the blackhearted system become so generous?'
Dumbfounded, Xu Feng checked on the title that was awarded to him.
Master Alchemist– grants a 10% increase in the effectiveness of all alchemical or synthesis creations. Increases reputation with NPC herbalists and alchemists across the Divine World.
Dazed, Xu Feng was completely stunned in place when he read the ability of the title.
What made it better was the fact that he could conceal having such a title from players, and only the NPCs would recognize it.
Additionally, titles are permanent and once obtained, it would be nigh impossible to have it removed.
However, the most beneficial thing about titles was that it would be active no matter how many titles one player had, and they could always deactivate it whenever they wanted to.
Just when Xu Feng thought things couldn't get any better after his terrible luck, the system prompt appeared again.
System: To commemorate Baron Lin Feng's achievement and expanding the herbology influences, he shall be granted an Alchemist's Gauntlets of Precision!
"Hot damn!"
Xu Feng stood up and exclaimed in shock, wondering if the system had gone insane. Taking a few quick breaths, Xu Feng began to inspect the gauntlet's stats and attributes.

Speechless, Xu Feng really didn't know what else to say when he read the item's description.
No doubt about it, this gauntlet was the ideal equipment for anyone dabbling in alchemist or synthesis. Not only that, but the fact that the item was bound to him and unable to be dropped was the most insane aspect.
Such godly equipment was permanently for him and even if he somehow died, no one else could get it because it was unable to be dropped.
However, that wasn't even the main aspect of the equipment.
Others might miss it, but not for him.
Adjusting his glasses, Xu Feng started grinning in a menacing manner.
"Unable to be dropped, but it never said it's unable to be traded or rented. Hehehe, system, you might have tortured me with the RNG earlier, but you made it all up with this reward."
