Carefree Path of Dreams Chapter 605 Flying Claws

After ten days.
Inside the experiment lab.
Fang Yuan, with a serious expression, was holding onto a test tube and looking at the bubbles in it, as if the red fluid was boiling.
"Last step!"
He dropped half a drop of a jade-green fluid into the test tube.
In a split second, the whole fluid solidified, transforming into a semi-solid state, and it even emitted a striking smell.
"The primary blood clotting paste is complete!"
Fang Yuan looked at the test tube and then at his attribute board. He smiled as the (Basic) skill became (Normal) for pharmaceutics.
"The pharmaceutics in the Alcala Mainland is based around combining the three spirits into a body! Luckily, I was able to obtain several ingredients at the Bay of Pigs previously, and, thus, there's no problem in out-sourcing the energetic spiritual energy!"
The pharmaceutics in this world not only depended on herbs but also a large number of ingredients from the Night Family Clan in order to extract the energetic spiritual energy.
And any type of medicament needed a lot of practice to increase the success rate a tad bit.
"For normal herbs, I have my botany skill, cultivating it won't be a problem… However, the ingredients of the Night Family Clan are slightly troublesome…"
Fang Yuan held onto the test tube, a thoughtful look on his face.
In actual fact, the (Normal) pharmaceutics skill level represented the ability to produce medicament on one's own. One would be finished with his apprenticeship and would be able to become a true Pharmacist then.
Soma had thought that he needed a few years' time to be successful and produce his first medicament through self-study.
In actual fact, to Fang Yuan, it was an easy task to breakthrough as long as there were enough ingredients and his proficiency rate increased.
"I've also seen almost all of Soma's collections…"
Fang Yuan pondered silently, "His value is less now."
He had now begun to gradually change his attention towards alchemy.
"Both the studies involve the change in energetic spiritual energy and is deeply linked to the Night Family Clan…" A bright light flashed through Fang Yuan's eyes, "Furthermore… they're also beneficial to my future!"
"Sir Hulk!"
At that moment, there was a light knock coming from the door.
Even if he was a pharmaceutical disciple, no one was allowed to disturb him when he was managing the ingredients and trying to produce a medicament.
Fang Yuan frowned and kept the medicament, "What business do you have?"
"Master Locke had finished making the Demon Weapon and instructed me to inform you to pick it up!"
A polite voice was heard from behind the door.
"Oh, I've got it!"
This Alchemist reluctantly agreed to help Fang Yuan only because it was through Soma's connection.
After all, the production of Demon Weapons was much more complicated and difficult when compared to making medicament.
Once he heard that it was done, Fang Yuan was elated and went on to wear his jacket instantly before moving towards Master Locke's studio.
This Alchemist's character was unsociable and eccentric, hence, his studio was at the other end of the branch. One had to almost go through the entire Union and main trading hall before seeing it.
"Hi! Hulk!"
"Come and drink with us when you're free!"
…
The other Demon Hunters, who were free, greeted Fang Yuan with a smile when they saw him.
Some of them admired Fang Yuan's performance in the Bay of Pigs battle, some of them did it purely out of respect for Daybreak Sword, the branch president, while some knew that he was learning pharmaceutics and might even become a Pharmacist in the future.
In conclusion, these Demon Hunters were good enough to cover up the dissatisfaction and jealousy that they had in their hearts, their face showed kind smiles.
However, Fang Yuan was clear that the result of believing that all of them were harmless would be very miserable.
"Hey! Hulk, it really is you!"
A young Demon Hunter came forward, "I heard them talking about what happened to you, I can't believe it at all!"
"David… how have you been, recently?" Fang Yuan smiled as he recognized the young Demon Hunter, who was close to him.
As he had an alcoholic father, he went to the Axe Bar often enough when he was a child to hang out with Mary and himself, often enough to become close.
"I'm still alright! The only problem is that the activities of the Night Family b*st*rds are too frequent, and I have no opportunity to drink properly…" David smiled, but he promptly slapped his own forehead, "that's right… your two portions of treatment water were handed over to Uncle Jock successfully, he's very touched!"
"He's already received it? That's great, then!"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and looked at David, who looked like he had something to say, "Is there anything else?"
"I heard…" the young Demon Hunter shook his head, his cheeks as red as an apple, "Mary… seemed to have a little regret, furthermore, there's a little information about the both of you spreading around…"
"Don't be bothered by her…"
Fang Yuan gave a mirthless laugh when he heard his reply.
Although it was necessary to repay Uncle Jock, he didn't want to have anything to do with Mary.
"That's right! Since you're here, I'll go to the main counter to issue a mission for you to transport some money to Uncle Jock…"
Fang Yuan didn't mention anything about Mary, "After all… he's taken care of me for so many years. Now that I'm rich, I should repay him!"
Even though he was only a pharmacist assistant, he could receive a decent income from managing some ingredients. After killing Black Jack, he had also taken the other party's precious collection and wasn't in need of money at all.
Why did he want to issue a mission? Naturally, he had his considerations in doing so.
Without the guarantee from the Demon Hunter Union, even an old friend might have second thoughts about the money. However, if it was a recorded mission, a Demon Hunter would have to be chased and killed if he intentionally sabotaged or went against the mission.
David was smart and would know what to do.
"Of course, Hulk, you're always such a good rascal!" David spoke with a hidden meaning behind his words, "now that you're rich, you should really be paired up with a wise and virtuous woman…"
"Wise and virtuous woman?"
Fang Yuan looked at the other party's back as he left, then he shook his head and continued walking to Master Locke's studio.
It occupied a large space in the Demon Hunter branch. It even had a large number of ovens that burned with flames of different colors, causing the air to feel stuffy and hot.
"Hulk, you're late!"
Locke, the alchemist, had a large build that made him looked like a bodybuilder. The hand holding onto the hammer was firm and strong, "The thing you needed is already done. It's on the obsidian counter, so pick it up yourself!"
His temperament was obviously cold. After saying a sentence, he went on to focus on hammering the metal piece in front of him and didn't care about Fang Yuan again.
"Thank you!"
Fang Yuan let out a sigh in his heart.
He had long tried to make indirect approaches to learn some alchemy techniques from Locke or even become his assistant or something.
However, he rejected him firmly no matter how much talent Fang Yuan showed.
It looked like he was stubborn enough to bring his skills to his grave.
Meeting this kind of stubborn person, Fang Yuan could only roll his eyes in frustration.
However, he was still able to teach himself the alchemy skill. The only issue was that he would need a longer time for it.
He was totally able to afford this price!
At the moment, he wasn't bothered about anything and went to the front of the obsidian counter.
On the stone table, that was emitting heat, was a box that had been placed there long ago. After opening it, a silver object with splendor appeared in his vision immediately.
In the box was four silver Flying Claws with translucent ropes connected at the ends. Although it looked very thin, when Fang Yuan looked clearly, he noticed it was actually Demon Spider's silk. There was no problem in carrying a 500-pound heavy object.
"Demon Weapon, Flying Claws… Finally done!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan smiled.
He had seized a lot of ingredients from before. Aside from the ingredients from the Fire-practising Demon, he had given everything else to the Alchemist and entrusted him to make customized Shady Flow Flying Claw weapons.
Although he might've wasted part of the ingredients, it looked like the results weren't bad.
"Especially the Demon Spider silk that I bought with a high price. It was used abundantly. If it failed a few more times, I would've vomited blood…"
On the silver Flying Claws was a memo that recorded a detailed message about the Demon Weapon:
[Flying Claw weapon—Ghoul's Hold.]
[Grade: Low-class Demon Weapon.]
[Weight: 2.7kg.]
[Ingredients: Ghoul's claw, Demon Spider silk, gold granite.]
[Special Effect: 1, Sharpness. 2, Flexibility to expand and contract.]
[Maker: Jorke Lin.]
…
Looking at the calligraphy words at the "Maker" row, it looked like this Alchemist had accomplishments.
"As it was the Ghoul's sharp claws that were used, it can easily dig into large trees, rocks, and even metal. The sharpness level is comparable to that of an sword… Regarding the flexibility, it was because of the Demon Spider silk. You're quite lucky that no serious problem arose when I was managing them."
Jorke finally finished hitting his piece of metal and talked while walking over slowly, "Do you have any other questions?"
"No!"
Fang Yuan stretched out his right hand to stroke the Flying Claw. Soundly, he clawed.
Swoosh!
Numerous black forms pestered him and disappeared promptly. The weapon that was originally in the box had vanished without a trace.
"Shady Flow Flying Claw?"
Jorke was slightly shocked and promptly said, with melancholy, "Use it properly and live up to its great name!"
After saying that, he made a "pleading" gesture to chase Fang Yuan out of the studio.
"Forget it. Being able to get this Demon Weapon is already far better than what it's worth…"
Fang Yuan tested out the newly obtained weapon and felt somewhat satisfied.
Regarding the true, superior ingredient, the Fire-practising Demon heart, he wasn't prepared to hand it over.
After all, it was an ingredient that came from a high-class Night Family Clan member that could be made into a middle or high-grade Demon Weapon!
In his plans, his sword—Starry Night, needed strengthening as well.
And for this type of matter, it was best to do it himself!
"Based on my alchemy level, it's possible to strengthen Starry Night before integrating the ingredient from the Fire-practising Demon with it! This would not only upgrade the quality of the sword into a Demon Weapon, but it would also increase the sword's fire attack!"
For a Demon Hunter, equipment was very important.
One or two superior-grade equipment and Demon Weapons could be a Demon Hunter's trump card when they were lacking in power themselves. They could save a Demon Hunter's life and even turn the tables around!
