Chapter 254: Trading! Nightmare Potion and Nightmare Arrow (6200)
The woman in front of him knelt on both knees, holding a bottle of potion in her hands.
"Sabina, what is this?"
"Hello, my Lord, this is a poison I researched based on the materials you gave me. Please take a look."
Cao Xing listened, his eyes lighting up.
"You researched it so quickly? As expected of Advanced Poison Skill Mastery!"
"Sabina, you did well."
Upon hearing Cao Xing's praise, the woman kneeling below buried her head even lower.
He immediately put away the bottle of potion.
[Obtained: Potion crafted by Sabina (Unnamed)]
[Potion Effect: Apply to melee weapons or arrows to add a layer of Hallucinogenic Poison effect to the next 10 attacks, reducing the enemy's Attack Power by 302 for 30 seconds and inducing a hallucinatory state, with a Spiritual Shock occurring every 5 seconds...]
[Remaining Uses: 10]
...
"Goodness, Hallucinogenic Poison effect, reducing Attack Power?"
Cao Xing's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
This thing was indeed valuable!
Even for him, it held considerable benefits.
After all, the Spiritual Shock every 5 seconds was rather potent.
For those survivors, it was a Divine Secret Medicine!
You see, even Elite Monsters at level 15 had Attack Power between 300 and 400.
Applying this potion to weapons or arrows, a single strike would completely neuter these monsters' Attack Power!
In this way, the monsters would be like toothless tigers, posing no threat whatsoever!
The most crucial part was that this thing seemed to be able to synergize with the poison effect of the [Nightmare Arrow], stacking with each other.
One could reduce Armor, the other could reduce Attack Power, in addition to sustaining Life Value loss effects.
A single shot from this would render a Second Order Boss Level monster useless on the spot!
"Hahaha, as expected from poison brewed with Cannibal Flower petals, this potion's effect is excellent. It is sure to cause a frenzy among other survivors!"
Cao Xing marveled unceasingly, then asked, "Sabina, has this potion been named?"
Sabina nodded respectfully, "No, esteemed Lord, please grant a name to this potion."
After a moment of contemplation, Cao Xing said, "Let's call it [Sabina's Nightmare Potion] then."
Nightmare implied that all who were poisoned with this magic potion would see their own nightmare.
By adding Sabina's name in front, it represented the inventor of this potion.
Just like [Lia Medina's Transformation Potion].
In this world, when alchemists develop a new type of secret medicine, they often add their own names to quickly gain fame.
Upon hearing Cao Xing's words, a bit of hesitation appeared in Sabina's eyes, "Esteemed Lord, why not just call it Nightmare Potion? My name doesn't deserve to be added on it..."
However, hearing these words, Cao Xing retorted, "Why not? Isn't this magic potion something you researched?"
"Yes..."
"Then that's settled."
Cao Xing smiled, "Be confident, Sabina, you have exceptional poison skills."
"Although I only required you to work in my Territory for three months, that time is more than enough for your reputation to spread throughout the entire Continent."
"Soon enough, they will all know that my Territory has an alchemist with Advanced Poison Skills."
Upon hearing Cao Xing's words.
A warmth surged within Sabina's heart, causing her eyes to moisten a little.
Through this period of understanding, she clearly sensed the development prospects of this Territory, with a future almost beyond measure!
Moreover, this Lord defied traditional concepts, allowing ordinary people to wield power.
If it weren't for things that she had to do, Sabina actually wanted to stay in this Territory for a lifetime.
At this moment, the countless emotions in her heart transformed into a single sentence.
"Thank you! Great Lord!"
[Potion naming successful, renamed: Sabina's Nightmare Potion]
[Due to your words and deeds, you have moved a Territory member: Sabina, Loyalty has increased, Current Loyalty: 86]
...
The consecutive system prompts made Cao Xing's lips curl into a smile.
And at this time, Sabina adjusted her mood.
She still knelt on the ground, saying respectfully, "Esteemed Lord, potions like this are divided according to the Grade of materials and the intensity of poison contained within, categorized into Green Quality, Blue Quality, and Purple Quality."
"This is one of the Green Quality potions I initially researched."
"You gave me even more advanced materials last time. I can use these materials to develop a poison with even stronger effects."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was once again filled with admiration.
Indeed, Sabina was an exceptional talent.
He continued to ask, "With potions like this, how many bottles can you manufacture in one day?"
Sabina pondered for a moment, "Replying to my Lord, if I work at full capacity for 14 hours a day, I can make between 120 to 150 bottles."
Hearing this number, Cao Xing calculated.
Goodness, that was already very high!
After all, a single potion could be used ten times, and its price would far exceed the Nightmare Arrow.
Considering over a hundred bottles a day, Sabina would generate a massive profit for him daily.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Sabina, this batch of potions is of great benefit to the Territory."
"Now, you can go back to your work."
"At your command! Lord!"
Sabina stood up and respectfully took her leave.
After she left, Cao Xing began contemplating a matter.
Sabina had started to show her value.
And Cao Xing previously promised this woman to help her advance to Fourth Rank strength.
