Skill: Pharmaceutical Cost: 1 mana point Description: Can turn herbs into powders, granules, etc., enhancing the effects of the herbs (improves according to the "Apothecary" level). ...... Skill: Alchemy Cost: 1 mana point Description: Depending on the materials, produces alchemical solutions and alchemical materials with different effects (improves according to the "Alchemist" level). ——— Tang Zheng looked at the newly added line "Professional Skills" under the [Ability Sheet] and felt somewhat enlightened. It seemed that production professions' skills were a type of "professional skill," somewhat similar to special professions. The three levels of improvement he had earned were all allocated to the "Sword Saint" profession. After all, at present, He only mastered this one intermediate profession that could enhance his own basic attributes. Tang Zheng found that this leveling process was quite similar to the "YGGDRASIL" game, where players could freely assign gained levels to the professions they chose. The situation in the real world was different. People in the other world who wanted to improve warrior-type professions could only continuously practice martial techniques and improve their skills and training. Those who wanted to improve magic-type professions could only learn by studying magic books, meditating, and so forth. In short, to improve a profession, one had to learn the abilities related to that profession. Hearing Enfirea's question, Tang Zheng shifted his gaze away from the attribute panel and pretended to come back to his senses: "It's my first time seeing such a method of making potions; I'm a bit surprised." "Nothing much." Enfirea spoke humbly, then looked at Tang Zheng a little excitedly, "Compared to restorative potions, healing magic is even stronger." "Restorative potions rely on herbs to treat wounds. Whether low quality or high-level restorative potions, they only speed up wound recovery." Upon hearing Enfirea's words, Tang Zheng's eyes showed interest, and he quietly discussed healing potions with Enfirea. Enfirea did not hide anything and was very happy to exchange thoughts with Tang Zheng. Being the grandson of Lizzy, the best apothecary in E-Rantel and known as a genius apothecary in the future, Even though it was not yet four years later, Enfirea's understanding of restorative potions still surpassed most apothecaries in this world. In "YGGDRASIL," the conditions for a player to win in PvP essentially boiled down to four factors! Information, level, equipment, and resources! Information came first; its importance was self-evident. The battle between the Bone King and Shalltear fully demonstrated the advantage of information. Shalltear, as a combat-specialized NPC, also had a profession build that countered necromancer types. However, the Bone King exploited his informational advantage to outwit her to death, Fiercely showing off in front of the other Tier Guardians. Of course, if it were a direct encounter, the likely victor would be Shalltear. Level and equipment needed no further explanation. Tang Zheng could increase his level to 100 by leveraging the "player" ability, but currently, he had no way to improve his equipment. At this world's level, creating artifact-grade equipment was impossible, and the only artifact-grade equipment available were legacies of the Six Great Gods and the Eight Desire Kings, making them extremely difficult to obtain. As for resources, they referred to consumables such as restorative potions, magic scrolls, crystals, gems, ornaments, and various items. Tang Zheng had no way to compare with the entire "Nazarick Underground Great Tomb." The reason he kept exchanging information about restorative potions with Enfirea was that he wanted to make them himself. After resting, The group set out again. The archer Basak carried the team leader Dosali on his back, and after taking restorative potions and the alchemical solutions Enfirea made, the Rand brothers could walk on their own. In the following time, Enfirea continuously brewed various medicinal powders and alchemical solutions for healing using herbs, accelerating the Rock team's wound recovery. At the same time, by observing the degree of recovery in several adventurers, he gauged the effects of his potions. Tang Zheng, once his mana had recovered, used healing magic to treat team leader Dosali’s shattered lower leg. For a while, The Rock team had become a burden instead. Two days later, A huge city appeared in the sight of Tang Zheng and the others. "E-Rantel"! With three thick city walls, the border city of E-Rantel looked more like a military fortress. Or rather! As the central city at the border of the Li Yestige Kingdom, Bahāruth Empire, and Slane Theocracy, E-Rantel had been built to fortress specifications. Since entering the border, Tang Zheng’s group had encountered few people, perhaps because they took a shortcut. Now, approaching E-Rantel, the number of caravans and adventurers on the road sharply increased. Creak, creak! The wooden wheels of the carriage rolled against the ground. Grandmother Lizzy drove the carriage to the city gate, where soldiers immediately approached to inspect. Upon seeing it was Grandmother Lizzy, they all quickly showed respectful expressions. "So it’s Lady Barayalev, allow passage!" The city guard soldiers quickly turned and loudly ordered behind them. As a border city, anyone coming from outside had to be checked to prevent infiltrators and wrongdoers from other nations, mainly the Bahāruth Empire. Snap! Grandmother Lizzy lightly nodded to the city guard soldiers, then flicked the whip in her hand, striking the horse’s rear with a clear sound. The carriage carrying herbs and Enfirea sitting inside slowly entered the city. Tang Zheng and the Rock team, following behind, were allowed to pass without inspection but had to pay an entrance fee of two copper coins per person. Indeed, E-Rantel charged an entrance fee. Within the Li Yestige Kingdom, apart from port cities and the imperial capital, E-Rantel was the most prosperous trade city. Due to its proximity to the Trebor Great Forest and the Katze Plains, two highly dangerous areas, the city had a large number of adventurers and mercenaries. This also led to commercial prosperity. Entering the city, the first thing that caught Tang Zheng’s eye was the large number of carriages preparing to enter and leave. Tang Zheng could clearly feel that adventurers made up a very high proportion of the crowd. Even in the royal capital, he had not sensed this. Compared to the subtle oppression and decay he felt in the capital, E-Rantel’s first impression was that the entire atmosphere radiated vitality.
