Chapter 171: Breaking Through Toward The Core Formation Realm (2)!
"Accept..."
Leo commanded in his deep demonic voice, causing the black exquisite cauldron to abruptly close with a loud bang! Momentarily deafening Leo's senses in the process.
Shake~ Shake~
Slowly, as time passed by, the black cauldron within the system began to tremble in an unstable yet crazy manner, causing Leo to stare at it in anxiousness- often feeling that his jinx skill was sending its imperceptible energy toward the interior of the black cauldron... Making it much more unstable in his imagination.
"If it fails, I will blame it on the jinx skill and upgrade my "Restrain" skill even though it would cost me my hard-earned medallions..."
Leo casually joked to himself, wanting to ease his anxiousness but only in vain!
Soon, after staring at it with his seemingly bloodshot senses (imaginary eyes) for more than 10 minutes, Leo finally heaved a heavy sigh of relief upon seeing that it began to cool down- taking a full minute before becoming still as its heavy lid began to open slowly, deliberately as if teasing Leo.
...
"This, it's green again? Elite rarity? However, with the richness of the colour, there's a huge chance that the skill grade entered Elite +1 in rarity..."
Leo mumbled under his breath as he peaked toward the rich green light within the interior of the cauldron, almost forgetting to breathe as he patiently and anticipatingly waited for the sound of the system notification to appear.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon successfully combining a skill, and gaining a new skill "Guardian of Vitality (Elite +2)!" ]
Ding!

Note: One of the Elite skills that almost reaches the qualification to enter Rare rank! ]
...
"It's better than the 6 defensive skills earlier, but... I'm afraid that it was still far from enough.'
Seeing this, Leo shook his head in disappointment, feeling that its defensive capability was still lacking, causing him to hesitate slightly as he immediately upgraded the skill to level 5...
After that, he hesitantly took out a bronze medallion within his inventory, clenching it with his shadow tendril as he upgraded the skill above its natural limit.
"System, upgrade..."
Ding!
[ Upgrading the Guardian of Vitality (Elite +2) (Level 5) to Deterrence (Rare +1) (Level 1) would cost 1 Medallion of Forceful Upgrade!
(Accept/Decline)? ]
Seeing the notification that appeared, Leo's shadow being momentarily halted, not expecting that the skill would jump from the expected Rare rarity to Rare +1 unexpectedly...
Huff~
Taking a deep long breath, increasing his concentration to its peak, Leo unhurriedly tossed the yellow leaf that was shimmering in low sunlight toward the interior of the cauldron, causing it to immediately release a sizzling sound as its impurities began to evaporate into thin air- only leaving with a single droplet of pure yellow liquid within.
Seeing this, Leo decreased the Qi he was feeding toward the lamp below, causing its temperature to diminish before he quickly manipulated the clean water throughout the atmosphere to fly toward the centre of the cauldron- mixing the golden droplet and the boiling water with a spoon that he manipulated using his telekinetic abilities, making the water to retain a colour of yellowish as the droplet vanish within...
Still not finished, Leo suddenly increases the flame below the cauldron as he immediately tosses the plump star fruit within before abruptly and heavily closing its lid- afraid that its potent properties will escape from the gap...
10, 9, 8... 1 second.
Upon counting down to ten, Leo abruptly opened the lid of the cauldron before tossing all of the materials within, one by one, making the legs of the cauldron slowly sink beneath the soft soil, a testament to the weight of the materials within.
...
Soon, after 10 full minutes of carefully manipulating his Qi toward the seeming lamp below and greatly focusing on creating and processing the potion, Leo hurriedly cut down his connection with the lamp...
Gasping slightly as he opened the lid of the cauldron, staring at the liquid of starlight within, silently creating mesmerising waves that could trap the senses and soul of mortal beings within.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon creating a Grade-1 (Low) potion for the first time!
+5,000 horror points!
+6 free attribute points!
+5 potion formula! ]
Not giving a glance toward the notification that appeared in the corner of his senses, Leo carefully began to manipulate the liquid inside the cauldron toward the wooden bottle in his grasp... Before hurriedly closing its cap afterwards.
"Indeed, creating a grade 1 potion isn't that hard, the only problem about creating it is that the materials needed were almost more than half of the materials needed to create an ungraded potion."
Smiling softly, gazing towards the surrounding darkness that was constantly being enveloped by thick grey fog, Leo cast a soul scan toward the bottle within his grasp- wanting to see its effect for better usage.
Ding!
[ Qi Recovery Potion! (Grade 1-Low) (71% purity): A potion that greatly increases the natural recovery of Qi. Moreover, it also has the ability to slightly heal one's injury and alleviate one's fatigue!
Note 1: You could drink it safely!
Note 2: Consuming it would increase one's Qi recovery by 300% for a quarter of an hour!
Note 3: It can only be consumed once a day! ]
"As expected, it was better than most of the ungraded potions that I created, however, the effect that could increase the stat permanently isn't present in this one...'"
Leo ponder within his mind,feeling that the difference in Peak Ungraded potion and Grade-1 potion isn't that high. In fact, if he manage to create an ungraded potion with 90% in purity, Leo believed that the ungraded potion could surpassed this one in terms of effect!
Huff~
"There's no need to think further about it, your current goal for now is to create hundreds of potions!'
Sighing softly, Leo began to clean the exterior of the cauldron- taking a breathe before again continuing creating potions.
