Chapter 936 202: Silk Cave Territory_2
"It's the Lord!" Vicki quickly explained, but unfortunately, her voice was like a mosquito's hum, completely drowned out by the girls' unrestrained laughter.
Someone teased Lin Rui, "Hey there, handsome, you look so good. Do you have a girlfriend? How about we exchange contact info?"
"You little flirt, you can't even walk right after seeing a hunk. Sisters, let's knock some sense into that lovey-dovey head."
Amid the clamor, a voice suddenly exclaimed, "Lord!"
Lin Rui looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Shirley, who was rather tipsy, but luckily, she wasn't at the point where she couldn't tell her thoughts from her words.
Lin Rui raised a hand to help clear her mind, and she immediately clutched her waist, letting out a painful yet seductive scream.
"Ah~ don't~ don't shove such a thick, long ice stick into me!"
"..."
With her scream, everyone else finally sobered up, darting behind Shirley like little birds.
[Moon-breaking Blade lv35: Shoot ten Spiritual Ice Needles at the target's kidney, inflict 2 points of damage, restore 3000+(3+7.78)**n Life Value, damage +50%, speed +50%, endurance +50%, attack adds 20% Divine Damage, lasts 280s. Simultaneously (weakly) dispel negative statuses on the target, for each dispelled status, the target recovers an additional 1% Life Value. Consumes 1+n Spiritual Energy, condensation cooldown 2s (Spiritual Enhancement version of adrenaline)]
Moon-breaking Blade was the first skill Lin Rui acquired, though he hadn't used it for a long time since he'd been focusing on output recently, putting his healing abilities aside for some time.
But thanks to the level increase of [Whisper of the Magic Goddess], proficiency in Moon-breaking Blade was still raised to lv35, and besides the healing effect, this skill also gained a dispel effect.
Of course, that's quite reasonable, considering such thick, cold ice needles stuck into the kidney would wake anyone up immediately!
Shirley now felt the heat throughout her body vanish, even feeling a slight chill in the night air, and instinctively pulled her pajama's shoulder strap.
But halfway through, she remembered she couldn't be timid now—what a great opportunity not to seize!
Is it just a little cold? Freezing beauty is the norm, isn't it?
So she steeled herself, exposed her delicate shoulder again, even revealing half her chest, dazzlingly bright. After all, she was only wearing a strap nightgown, which certainly couldn't cover much.
Lin Rui was at a loss—this was her inner obsession, it couldn't be dispelled by physical means.
Lin Rui could only change the subject and asked, "What are you doing here? Why so lively?"
Shirley, in her thirties, displayed her full maturity with enchanting upturned eyes and a pleasant breath, replied, "Isn't today the territory banquet? We had fun there and packed some food and drinks to continue the celebration back here."
Perhaps worried about leaving a bad impression on Lin Rui, she quickly added, "We've been working overtime for months, so we're taking the chance to relax a bit today, letting the sisters unwind."
The others nodded as avidly as little chicks pecking at grain; evidently, they were also wary of Lin Rui giving them an ice needle each.
The old physician's ice acupuncture was intimidating even at a glance. With their delicate bodies, they couldn't handle it.
Lin Rui didn't say much in response; today was supposed to be a day for the territory to relax. A group of sisters, not going to bars or clubs, just indulging in some drinks and food in their own room, surely that should be allowed?
Therefore, Lin Rui didn't pursue that topic, instead turning to more serious matters, saying, "I'm here because I have something important to tell you."
"What's so important?" Shirley immediately looked at Lin Rui with expectant eyes and a slightly flushed face—could it be that the Lord, like her, couldn't bear the three months of longing and finally decided to confess?
"The territory has received two epic-level Masters of Pharmacy from another plane; they're currently at the elf camp, but I plan to have them come to your pharmacy workshop tomorrow to produce epic-level potions. Do you have any issues with that?"
"And what else?" Shirley nervously clutched the hem of her nightgown at her hips, her hands twisting anxiously.
"Also, I have five kinds of potions here. See if you can produce any of them."
[Endless Fury: Epic: Endless Fury burns everything. It's both a force of destruction and a chance for rebirth. Endless Fury is a potion that fuels your inner rage, making you invincible in combat. Upon use, boosts Attack Power by 50% and Movement Speed by 20%, but you lose 1% Life Value per second. However, defeating an enemy within 60 seconds grants a powerful Life Recovery effect that restores all lost Life Value. Potion duration: 300 seconds. (Note: Taking multiple times within 24 hours is ineffective)]
[Divine Shelter: Rare: Under Divine Shelter, we remain unscathed. Like divine protection, it ensures your safety in peril. Use to form a Divine Shield equal to 200% of your Life Value, reduces 50% of Divine Damage, and restores 2% Life Value per second. However, you'll be immobile for 5 seconds after the shield breaks. Potion duration: 60 seconds. (Note: Taking multiple times within 12 hours is ineffective)]
[Storm Fury: Era-Defining: Storm Fury makes you as furious as a storm. Upon use, boosts Attack Power by 100% and Movement Speed by 50%, with each attack having a 20% chance to stun the enemy for 1 second, each critical strike restores 2% of your Life Value. Potion duration: 45 seconds. (Can be used repeatedly)]
[Shadow Step: Rare: Shadow Step makes you as elusive as a shadow. Upon use, enter stealth mode, Movement Speed increases by 30%, Evasion +30%, reduces damage taken by 20%, and the first attack out of stealth will definitely crit, converting critical damage to Divine Damage. Potion duration: 45 seconds. (Note: Taking multiple times within 8 hours is ineffective)]
[Steel Barrier: Epic: Amid the flames of war, Steel Barrier is the firmest support, making us fearless against enemy invasions. Steel Barrier is a potion enhancing defense, making you immovable and unbreakable in combat. Upon use, cannot move for 30 seconds, gains Physical Defense +150%, Spiritual Resistance +200%, and a Life Shield equal to 50% of Life Value. Immune to all control effects and reduces damage taken by 30% during the potion duration. If not defeated within 30 seconds, gain a powerful Life Recovery effect that restores all lost Life Value, permanently increases Life Recovery Speed by +10/s, Life Value by +300, and Physical Defense by +250. Potion duration: 60 seconds. (Note: Taking multiple times within 24 hours is ineffective)]
These were potions and recipes Lin Rui obtained from Wutong, one of the legacies left to Lin Rui after the Elf Imperial Court's fall.
He was already familiar with [Endless Fury] and [Steel Barrier], having invested heavily in ensuring a scale advantage to serve as a power engine for the soldiers.
However, the other rare and era-defining potions also constituted a significant supplement to battle power.
Lin Rui remembered that Shirley could already produce rare-level potions, and with some effort now, producing era-defining potions shouldn't be an issue.
Even if producing epic ones was challenging, producing the other three kinds would be manageable.
Shirley merely glanced over and skipped them, anxiously watching Lin Rui. "That's it? Anything else?"
Lin Rui assumed she meant the types of potions and nodded, "That's all."
Shirley became as deflated as a punctured balloon, lethargically saying, "They can all be produced."
