Chapter 453 - Herbs.Check.

"Hmmm… Why haven't I spotted a single demon until now?"

Liam picked up the loot, a couple of silver coins, and then searched the skies and the land for any sight of demons.

"Shouldn't they be out searching for me everywhere? This seems oddly quiet."

He paused for a while and then resumed his work, hunting more demonic beasts. This was the second spot they were grinding in and the drops were quite decent.

He had already managed to collect quite a bit of herbs as well.

"Liam, I have some more herbs." Shen Yue walked over and handed him another bundle of stalks.

"Hmm. Thanks." Liam accepted it and was about to ask her not to come over for every small thing when he stopped talking. It was because Shen Yue was not done yet.

Mei Mei also joined them sweating profusely and it looked like the two of them had hunted together. "Sis Yue, did you give him yet?"

"Yes, I am doing that right now." Shen Yue smiled and started taking out several more herbs. Soon a huge pile began to form in front of the trio.

"Where did you guys get all of these herbs?" Liam wryly chuckled.

He had been a little too preoccupied with perfecting the new technique that he didn't exactly give all of his focus to gathering herbs from here and there, but these two had apparently done that and very successfully too.

"Thanks." Liam smiled at Shen Yue, genuinely expressing his gratitude. He had recognized a couple of herbs in the pile that looked similar to the last ones which he needed for the recipe.

"Brother! Sis Yue worked so hard for you! You should thank her better." Mei Mei winked.

"Why don't I thank you first?" Liam rolled his eyes and flicked the little girl's head.

"No… No… it was nothing." Shen Yue smiled at their usual antics, blushing heavily.

"No, it's not nothing. This is a huge help for me. Thanks. How did you manage to get so much though?" Liam was genuinely shocked.

From her collection, it looked as if the duo had combed through the entire zone and picked clean any and all of the valuable herbs.

It was almost impossible to do it so fast!

"He He. Sis Yue, what? Shall we share our secret?" Mei Mei smiled.

Though she was joking around at the moment, one could see that the little girl had worked very hard as she was sweating from top to bottom.

She also looked very tired and worn out, having the weary look of someone who fought non-stop.

Shen Yue also had a similar appearance. The two of them indeed seemed to have given it their all.

So Liam sighed softly and gave them some time and attention which they seemed to be seeking.

After being with the other spoilt girl in his life day in and day out, he now may be understood women better?

He silently stood and waited for the duo to tell him what they were excited about.

His gaze, however, ever so often flickered to the pile of herbs as he was mentally trying to see if these were the ones that he needed.

"Brother! Are you listening?"

"Sis Yue enslaved a group of weird-looking demon goblins and made them all do the dirty work for her! Sis Yue was awesome!"

"I would have killed them because they were only Level 10 but Sis Yue had an idea and she made the five goblins worship her."

"They did everything for us!"

"They went in between holes, cracks, and crevices and picked up all the herbs in the region. Isn't she awesome? 100% girlfriend material!"

This kid! Liam rolled his eyes again. Why is she trying to set me up even when she knows that the world is coming to an end?!

He shook his head helplessly and then gave an awkward pat to Shen Yue. "That's good thinking. Keep it up."

The two women looked at him as if he had murdered someone so Liam quickly decided to leave that area.

"Did those goblins have some cave? I need someplace private to try out the concoction." He murmured and slipped away after putting transferring all the herbs into his inventory.

Watching him run away from them, Mei Mei gave the poor girl a hug. "Sorry, sis. One of these days, we will get him."

"No. No." Shen Yue gently smiled. "Let's not trouble your brother. I only want to share his load. Come, let's go back to grinding."

"Herbs, usually don't respawn so soon but we can clear the mobs nearby."

"Sis Yue… you are… too good for my brother." Mei Mei gave her another hug and the two of them then ran away to continue their work.

Meanwhile, Liam quickly dashed into the empty cave and cleared a couple of demonic goblins that had respawned.

"Luna, come here. Quick." He called the fox and began setting up things.

Kyuuuuu. The white fox speedily arrived the very next instant.

"Stand here and guard me. If any goblins spawn, kill them. Got it?"

Kyuuu. The fox nodded her head.

Liam gave her a pat and then hurriedly went back to examining all the herbs in his collection. This was it. After searching almost seven zones, he finally had all the herbs that he needed.

He went through the recipe another couple of times and took out all the herbs listed in the recipe. Luckily for them, none of the herbs happened to be rare herbs.

They were able to obtain everything that they needed just from scouring the different areas in the nether realm.

These were probably available in the Xion realm as well and they could have gotten it if they had looked hard enough.

Liam was confident about this because now that he could take a look at everything together, he could see that none of the herbs were nether touched herbs.

They did not have any specific nether properties. This made sense because the recipe itself was something he obtained in the Xion realm.

If there were any nether realm specific herbs to begin with, then the recipe would have been different.

In any case, Liam didn't have to worry about all of that. He only had a vague idea that the herbs might be available here because of the Gu family's track record.

And just like he hypothesized, he searched the areas and now had also successfully obtained the herbs. It was finally time to try and create this potion.

With this, he would be able to form the mana core and officially take the first step as a Level 50 player!

Though Liam had been long since waiting for this moment and the blood inside his body was boiling with anticipation, he still tried not to get ahead of himself.

After all, the old beggar had warned him about the difficulty of this recipe. Would he really be able to make it?
