BXBX NOVEL Chapter 451 Improving Alchemy
[You earned 90000 EXP]
[Alchemy Proficiency has increased greatly]
[The [Alchemy], [Brewing], [Synthetize], and [Apprentice Alchemist Recipe Book] Skills have Leveled Up]
[The [Alchemist] Title Skill has Leveled Up]
With those Skills having earned good enough Skill Proficiency, they ended leveling up again. This is all thanks to Hard Worker being at such a high level, it helps me earn double the amount of Skill Proficiency I earned.
The Skill Proficiency I earned making these Alchemy-made items was around half of the EXP I got from them all, so it was rather obvious they would level up again, even with the insane amounts of Skill Proficiency they ask for to level up.
Although I haven\'t managed to change the requirements for EXP and Skill Proficiency, earning it is much easier, which practically helps me ignore Lucifer\'s Curse easily. His attempts at making my life difficult are probably falling apart, bit by bit.
Once I can attain greater Alchemy Proficiency, I could replicate even more things from my previous life. It wouldn\'t be hard at all to create a special item to reconstruct my shattered soul or do even more insane things. The path of alchemy is endless.
And above all, it appears I acquired new Items to make through [Instant Creation]:

-----
Black Curse Bombs are great to weaken foes by forcefully inflicting curses to weaken their bodies and magic conductivity. In this world it would be translated to lowering their stats by a certain % temporarily. Then there are Freezing Bombs, instead of exploding and burning with fire, they explode and freeze things with ice, capturing them and paralyzing them if they don\'t die from being frozen.
Lesser Demonic Potions must be the ones I\'ve been drinking to regain Demonic Energy and use my Demon Arc and Demon Eyes at full power. And lastly, Lesser Soul Potions, a welcome surprise. These are potions that reinforce the soul and make it stronger. Which translates to enhancing a Soul\'s powers, such as Aura, amongst other things.
There is only a maximum amount these potions can enhance the power of a soul, after that I would need to move to higher rarity potions. But that\'ll be after drinking like a few hundred of them, so there\'s no hurry. It is also better to consume Soul Potions than eat souls directly, raw souls are filled with emotions and other disgusting things which get in the way, it is way easier to consume them when refined into a potion, which enhances the effects as well.
I\'ll be making dozens of these over time to get to enhance my soul strength as much as possible, and perhaps that of my companions, their souls being weak would be truly a problem if we encounter foes that can target it, they could die in a whim if their souls are shattered, so I need to prepare some things to prevent that. Also it is really easy to read through souls when they\'re weak, which could leak important information, I wouldn\'t really want that either.
"Now that we are done with this-"
"A-Amazing, I never took you for such a good Alchemist."
Erika\'s father was even more amazed now after he saw me making those items.
"Well, I am actually pretty tired, I don\'t think I can make these types of items every day, they drain away all my MP and even exhaust my body." I sighed.
If I overdone it with Alchemy and make things that are too high quality for my current level, I will end up growing weaker over time, which wouldn\'t be a good thing at all, as it could be detrimental to my growth.
"But still, I never saw anybody so young making such incredible items through Alchemy…" He sighed. "You\'ve earned my respect, Blake. And of course, you can also take my daughter\'s hand when both of you grow into adults. Feel free. I can entrust her to you."
"Her hand?" I wondered.
"H-He meant as if in marriage, my lord…" Eleanora whispered to me.
"Ah… Well, sure." I said without really paying much attention to that.
"I might not be alive by then, but I hope you give me some beautiful grandchildren." Said Erika\'s father.
"Err… Aren\'t you getting a bit ahead of yourself?" I sighed. "Well, whatever. Is she okay?"
"I went to check on her and she\'s sleeping like a log… But she\'s stable. She\'s… incredibly healthy and will probably wake up whenever all this exhaustion she feels fades away." Said Erika\'s father.
"Great. I suppose I should go back home for now. You guys, I\'ll bring you back to your homes." I said, as Eleanora summoned Blood out of her shadows, and from my Grimoire, two Fenrirs materialized.
Like that, we all went back to our homes, and I enjoyed a relaxing day with my family. After having done so much high ranked synthesis, I just wanted to rest.
