Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 358 – Talent

This origin skill called Fly Protein Explosion was designed for Big Mouth. Apart from the dragon attribute, Big Mouth also had the characteristics of a Fly-type origin beast. There was no problem in learning this origin skill.

Moreover, Lugh, who had originally planned to cultivate Big Mouth's poison attribute, was instantly moved when he saw this origin skill.

One had to know that the introduction of the origin skill mentioned that if this protein encountered poison, its power would change according to the strength of the poison. This sentence directly raised the upper limit of this origin skill by quite a bit.

After seeing that the origin technique inscription stone of the Fly Protein Explosion only cost 300 gold coins, Lugh did not hesitate to buy this origin technique inscription stone.

In this way, Big Mouth's long-range means were also available. This move Lugh was prepared to use as a surprise killer move. Moreover, Lugh had a new idea in his mind regarding Big Mouth's future direction of origin technique learning.

After buying these things, Lugh returned to the village and headed home.

When Lugh reached the door of his home, he saw Village Chief Eddie, Carter, and Anderson standing at the door. They had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.

“Village Chief! Uncle Anderson! Why are you here to visit?” Lugh hurriedly went forward and greeted them one by one as a junior. He asked them in puzzlement.

“Hehe. Lugh, have you forgotten? In a few days, it will be the time for the next-door village exchange competition. This has been an important event in our village. Our village has decided to choose you and Li Yong as representatives to participate in the competition,” Eddie said with a smile.

After the annual champion selection, the Iron Cloud Village and the neighboring villages would hold a competition on their own initiative.

This was an important event that had been held since the beginning. Each village hoped to use this kind of competition to let the younger generation of the direct villages work hard and make a name for themselves.

Lugh, who was originally only focused on cultivation, completely forgot about it. Hearing the Village Chief Eddie's words, Lugh only remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

“Hehe, that stinky brat of mine followed you. I told him to watch and learn more. You, Kid, help him out on the road more.” Carter patted Lugh's shoulder in a very forthright manner.

“Lugh, this trip is not only to fight for glory for the village. Moreover, the champion of the competition will have a large sum of money. Work hard.” Anderson narrowed his eyes and spoke with a smile.

“Lugh will remember it.” After hearing that there was a large sum of money, Lugh's eyes lit up. One had to know that he happened to be short of money. This time, he had to win the championship no matter what and obtain a large sum of money. Thus, Lugh agreed to participate in the competition in a clear voice.

Seeing Lugh's gaze that flashed past, Anderson stroked his slender goatee with gratification and revealed a smile that said, “A child worth teaching.” After bidding farewell to the village chief and the others, Lugh immediately threw himself into the alchemy work.

The medicinal pill that was refined this time was the 'Armor Boosting Pill' that accelerated Big Mouth beetle's growth. This was a Grade 6 medicinal pill.

Although the pill formula of the Armor Boosting Pill was tacitly acknowledged to be a Grade 7 medicinal pill formula, it was more precious than many Grade 7 medicinal pills. This was because the Armor Boosting Pill was based on the quality of the beetle used as the main ingredient. The grade of the medicinal pill would also change accordingly. The upper limit of this pill was very high. It could be considered an extremely difficult upper grade pill to obtain.

With the current financial situation of Lugh's family, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to possess an Armor Boosting Pill, much less a pill formula for an Armor Boosting Pill whose value far exceeded that of a finished product.

This Armor Boosting Pill was something that he had learned from a secret technique in the past. This Armor Boosting Pill was also the most valuable among the treasured pill formulas.

As the Armor Boosting Pill belonged to the category of Grade 7 medicinal pills, although Lugh had received alchemist education from the village chief, he was at most at the level of a Grade 8 alchemist, it was still too difficult to refine an Armor Boosting Pill that could only be refined by a Grade 6 alchemist.

Hence, to refine this kind of medicinal pill, one still needed the village chief's assistance. In the past, the village chief's realm had regressed seriously and he could not refine nor did he have the money to refine a high-grade medicinal pill. Now, after Lugh discovered that the source energy in his body had a miraculous effect on refining pills, he planned to use the village chief's experience and his own source energy to control and refine pills of a higher level.

After explaining the situation to the village chief, Lugh and Eddie both went to the medicine refining room and began to prepare.

“Are you ready?” After finishing the preparations, the two of them sat face to face. Between the two of them was a medicine refining cauldron. Eddie looked at Lugh, who was closing his eyes to adjust his state of mind.

Lugh opened his eyes and said indifferently, “Yes.”

“Let's begin.”

As soon as Eddie finished speaking, Lugh activated the bottom fire device. This time, he put in a soldier-grade fire-attributed source crystal. The temperature of the flame at the bottom of the cauldron was even hotter than when he was refining medicine previously. Lugh faintly felt a wave of heat assaulting his face.

“Five baht Origin Qi Grass, one or two Blue Phoenix Sap, Earth Element Turtle Shell fragments… Finally, sprinkle them into the powder ground from the back armor of the Axe-Edge Flying Beetle. Cover the cauldron and seal it. Begin the concoction!” After the village chief threw the last of the ingredients into the cauldron, he reminded in a deep voice.

Lugh did not dare to neglect and directly activated the source energy in his body to mediate the medicinal ingredients. The concoction this time was different from the last time when he refined the source energy pill. Lugh fully released the source energy in his body. He felt that the medicine inside the cauldron that was being refined was like a bottomless pit, he crazily absorbed the source energy in Lugh's body.

Although more and more source energy was being poured in, the refining speed of the medicine inside was indeed very slow. Obviously, with Lugh's current level, it was still somewhat difficult for him to refine the Armor Boosting Pill. However, the quality of Lugh's source energy was indeed astonishing. After transferring the source energy for quite a while, the source energy sea in his body had barely reached half.

By the side, the village chief who was using source energy to sense Lugh's refining process frowned. Lugh's method was very crude and simple. If it wasn't for the strange scarlet source energy, Lugh would have already failed in the refining process.

This discovery made Eddie surprised and happy. Who wouldn't wish for their disciple to be a genius with extraordinary talent?

However, Lugh didn't show any joy on his face. Eddie had originally had the mentality of urging him to teach him, which was why he agreed to this refinement. Although Lugh didn't directly fail the refinement as he had imagined, Eddie didn't intend to praise him, this was to prevent him from becoming too arrogant and self-inflated.

“Don't blindly use a large amount of source energy. You will consume a large amount of unnecessary source energy.

“First, you have to find the source point of the medicine, which is the point where the source energy is the strongest. Then, you have to directly enter from the point and disintegrate the substance into pure source particles. Do you understand?” Eddie said with a straight face.

“I understand, Village Chief!”

Lugh nodded and slowed down the speed of source energy input into the cauldron. He began to calmly search for the source point of the medicine.

Then, he carefully let his source energy pass through this source point. He was afraid that a mistake would destroy the medicinal properties. After passing through the source point of the medicine, Lugh began to refine the medicine from the inside.

Eddie nodded secretly. He was once again amazed at Lugh's talent. He had used half a year just to enter from the point, and Lugh had actually succeeded on his first try.

Although his technique was still a little rusty, this talent could only be described as monstrous.

However, Lugh was not as relaxed as he had imagined. His face was covered in sweat, and his head was in excruciating pain. The refining technique from point to point had indeed taken too much effort, Lugh had to grit his teeth and persevere with his determination.

Lugh had originally made several mistakes in controlling the source energy during the process. Logically speaking, this situation should have caused the refining to be forcefully interrupted. However, the red source energy in his body seemed to have its own consciousness and directly stabilized the refining process.

This change was something that even the village chief did not notice. On the contrary, it caused the village chief to mistakenly believe that Lugh had learned the technique that only high-level alchemists would learn from point entry for the first time.

“The refinement is almost done. Increase the output of the source energy and refine them in one go!” After Eddie said this, he began to mobilize the source energy in his body and began to guide the source particles formed by the medicine, reducing some of the pressure on Lugh.

“Yes!” Lugh did his best to channel the source energy in his body. The rich scarlet source energy was like a dragon swimming around, surrounding the source particles in a small sealed area, accelerating the formation of the medicinal pill.

Just when the source energy in the village chief's body was almost exhausted, the refinement was finally completed. The bronze cauldron emitted a dazzling golden light. A powerful source energy directly sent the cauldron cover flying, and a pill that emitted a golden light floated in the air.

The refined Armor Boosting Pill was completely golden in color. A faint layer of faint red source energy light could be seen circulating between the golden surface, just like a red chalcedony.

“This is… a perfect quality Armor Boosting Pill?!” Eddie could no longer control his expression. His deliberately stiff face revealed a shocked expression as he cried out involuntarily.
