On the third floor of the You Cai Department Store, Ye Wumeng held a vial of potion that glimmered with a faint yellow light, a proud smile spreading across his face. 0
 
**Chain Quest: Completion of the Alchemist's Path** 0
**Reward: Mastery of Life Alchemy, Special Potion of Pharmacology: Physical Limit Restoration Potion** 0
**Mastery of Life Alchemy:** Essential knowledge and ability for crafting life-related potions. 0
**Physical Limit Restoration Potion:** A unique potion formula for life alchemists, providing decisive healing for all physical injuries, capable of achieving the legendary feat of reviving the dead from mere bones. 0
 
**Chain Quest: Alchemist's Path Unlocked** 0
**Mission Requirements:** Craft a potion with efficacy greater than and at least equal to a first-tier potion. 0
**Reward:** Potion of Undead Energy (a primary skill for alchemists) 0
*Note: To craft a potion with efficacy greater than that of a first-tier potion, one must surpass the required strength and achieve a breakthrough; otherwise...* 0
 
Just moments ago, he had used First Class Species: Corpse Energy Base Liquid to create a powerful leg potion. It could be said that the First Class Species: Corpse Energy Base Liquid was too potent, elevating the efficacy of this potion and causing it to mutate once! 0
 
**Pharmacology Enhanced Leg Strength Potion (First Tier):** This powerful potion underwent one mutation and is rich in Corpse Energy. Until its energy is fully consumed, the user's legs will maintain a critical physical state, with the duration depending on the user's physical condition and frequency of use. 0
Strong! Too strong. 0
But he couldn't use it himself. 0
These concentrated potions represented his bargaining chips for tomorrow. 0
 
My blood? Or rather, the blood of the intruder? 0
 
At noon, at the Bonfire Corps Headquarters, in the Vice Commander's office, Ye Wumeng had thickened his skin to arrive early and wait. After all, this was about his life and livelihood; he couldn't afford to be careless. 0
 
**Zombie Poison Infection Countdown:** Two and a half days left. What a worry. 0
 
Before him, Xu Duan smirked as he continued speaking. "Do you even know what you're talking about regarding intruder blood? If those Reformists find out, you're done for." 0
 
Ye Wumeng looked at him resolutely; he was determined to finalize this deal. Although it wasn't his only option, he truly didn't want to resort to his backup plan. 0
 
"Don't worry; this is just between us. I won't drag you into it. Besides, my strength poses no threat to you." 0
 
Ye Wumeng maintained his composure and calm demeanor, his eyes fixed on Xu Duan as he laid out the stakes. 0
 
"You're right, but why should I help you?" Xu Duan leaned back in his chair casually. 0
 
"I can trade this for your assistance." With that, Ye Wumeng slid the leg strength potion he had crafted last night across the table towards him. 0
 
"Oh?" Xu Duan raised an eyebrow, picking up the potion and examining it closely with a smile. 0
 
 
"Are you now a Second-tier Alchemist?" 0
 
"Second-tier? What does that mean?" Ye Wumeng asked, a hint of confusion in his voice. He had only recently arrived in this world and had much to learn. 0
 
According to the Reformist's classification of Alchemists, those who could concoct basic potions, which are low-efficiency and cannot be mutated, are referred to as First-tier Alchemists. If one can create a First-turn potion, they are then called Second-tier Alchemists. Beyond that, I only know there are up to Fifth-tier Alchemists; I’m not sure what comes after that. 0
 
Ye Wumeng listened and nodded. Although he wanted to ask what the Reformist was, he decided to keep quiet given the current situation. 0
 
This potion is indeed quite precious in Lanstad; if I only have to exchange a little blood for it, I wouldn’t be at a loss. 0
 
Xu Duan looked at the First-turn leg-strengthening potion in his hand with admiration, but he still set it down and pushed it back toward Ye Wumeng. 0
 
However, despite the potion's value, I cannot ignore its potential risks. 0
 
Didn’t that move him either? 0
 
Ye Wumeng gritted his teeth and began to plan in his mind. 0
 
Since there are other entrants from the Bonfire Group, perhaps I could find a weak target to ambush and draw some blood before escaping. 0
 
It’s a pity that I'd have to leave Lanstad afterward—either go to another city or wander outside. 0
 
And although I don’t lack food and drink, I still need a backing to develop quickly. 0
 
Tsk, it’s complicated. 0
 
However, if you consider us one of your own, then we can negotiate. 0
 
Xu Duan leaned forward slightly from his chair and smiled at Ye Wumeng. 0
 
Hehe, Xu Vice Commander, am I not part of the Bonfire Group now? Isn’t that considered being one of your own? I'm wholeheartedly working for the Bonfire Group! 0
 
Ye Wumeng leaned forward, resting his hands on the table, looking intently at Xu Duan with sincerity in his eyes. 0
 
This kid has some thick skin. 0
 
Pfft, hahaha! You really look ridiculous trying to act serious while lying. But... 0
 
Xu Duan leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face. However, he quickly shifted the tone of the conversation as he tapped his finger on the table and spoke slowly. 0
 
You still haven’t demonstrated your value; naturally, we can’t treat you as one of our own. 0
 
Ye Wumeng's eyelid twitched. He hated riddles and asked directly, 0
 
So how exactly can I demonstrate my value? 0
 
Do you remember the task I assigned you? 0
 
Xu Duan maintained his smile and spoke lightly. 0
 
There are only two days left until our agreed time; give it your all! 0
 
Ye Wumeng understood; even if Xu Duan hadn’t said anything, he would have acted soon enough. 0
 
After all, this Alchemist Anlius is quite mysterious. 0
 
Consider this potion as a deposit. Once I complete the task and demonstrate my value, I'll come find you. I hope you won’t go back on your word. 0
 
Ye Wumeng stood up and left the Vice Commander's office. 0
 
It seems like he intends to act soon; ah, this is going to be interesting! 0
 
"Yes! About ten days ago, you need to help me find out where his body is! This is crucial for my research!" 0
 
Anlius Apothecary's face lost its usual calmness and was now filled with impatience. His right hand wore a Mechanical Glove displaying that he was currently connecting something. 0
 
 
His target was none other than the Leader. 0
 
"Don't rush me. Something just happened, and I can't step away right now. Don't think that just because your code name is 'Leader,' you can look down on me. Sure, you're a rank above me, but if the Church's mission isn't completed, when that person arrives, you won't be able to escape either!" 0
 
The Leader on the other side of the line fell silent for a moment before letting out a slight sigh. "I will help you, but I can't guarantee how it will end." 0
 
Seeing the Leader relent, Anlius knew he couldn't apply too much pressure; after all, he was speaking to his superior and had to consider future implications. 0
 
"Since that's the case, I appreciate your help." 0
 
【The call ended】 0
 
As the connection was severed, Anlius removed the Mechanical Glove from his hand and glanced out at the night sky. He paced back and forth in the small room. 0
 
It's been a day! 0
 
He had used all his connections to search for the patient that Long Tao had mentioned, who was referred by Hu Xu. 0
 
But he couldn't find anything! 0
 
How could a Virus Embryo, which was even stronger than Hu Xu, simply vanish without a trace? If he were dead, there should at least be a body, right? 0
 
But now, he couldn't even find a corpse! 0
 
All he had was Hu Xu. By the time that person arrived, it would likely take considerable effort to take down this Lanst Camp. If only he could find him—even if it were just his body—I would have confidence to turn everything upside down! 0
 
But where on earth could he be? 0
 
Anlius felt anxious, his brow furrowed and his footsteps erratic. 0
 
Just then! 0
 
A sudden knocking echoed from the door. 0
 
Knock knock knock. 0
 
Anlius turned toward the door, puzzled. 0
 
Who could it be at this hour? 0
