Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 465 - 250: Magic Potion Workshop

They first scattered in fear, then couldn’t help but curiously follow behind and peek.

Many workers couldn’t resist gathering around, greeting Luo De from a distance, and then stared intently at the rocky ridge.

The rocky ridge seemed to enjoy this feeling, proudly raising its head.

Luo De was indifferent to these reactions.

He signaled the soldiers to maintain order, forbidding anyone to approach, then directly led the rocky ridge to the construction site.

The construction area outside the manor was bustling, with slaves continuously moving the earth excavated by the Snow Rabbit People.

But when the Earth Dragon appeared, all movements and sounds came to an abrupt halt.

The Snow Rabbit People and the slaves stared blankly at the giant creature, not daring to make any movements.

"Don’t be afraid, this big guy is here to help us."

Xue Rui waved her hand, signaling everyone to step back.

Actually, she didn’t even need to say anything; faced with the awe-inspiring body of the rocky ridge, as long as it moved forward, everyone consciously stepped back.

"It’s up to you now."

Luo De commanded the rocky ridge, "Dig forward along this marked line, making sure the depth and width are about the same as the original."

The beast nodded, leaping into the already dug foundation.

The two horns on the Earth Dragon’s head began to emit a faint glow, then it opened its large mouth and twisted its massive body, squirming forward. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Crunch, crunch—

The Earth Dragon gnawed at the land before it as if it were eating a cake.

The hard soil appeared as fragile as tofu in the face of its fangs.

It was like a giant earth-eating beast; wherever it passed, the earth was continuously devoured.

And behind it, a neatly formed trench gradually took shape.

The sides of the trench were smooth and even, as if meticulously carved.

However, the soil here was still not very firm, and as the rocky ridge’s tail swept by, it kicked up patches of dirt.

It’s worth mentioning that the Earth Dragon can breathe underground, not fearing collapse or being buried by the earth.

Luo De silently kept count of the time.

Subtracting the time it took to spit out the soil, in less than ten minutes, the Earth Dragon had dug nearly five or six meters.

Note that this pit is four meters deep and three meters wide.

At a normal pace, a large group of slaves would have taken almost half a day to complete the same workload.

"It’s amazing!"

Xue Rui’s eyes widened with shock written all over her face.

The workers around were equally dumbfounded, mouths agape, unable to believe the scene before them.

"With this, our construction progress will greatly accelerate."

Xue Rui said excitedly, "It won’t even take three days for us to finish digging this foundation!"

Luo De nodded.

"Then get to preparing. Start with the walls."

He pointed to a distant open space,

"The freed-up hands can dig the foundations for those buildings."

The new manor was intended to be built in the direction of a castle.

Using bricks and stones to build the main building and two side buildings so that in the future, when expanding to a real castle, it would just require adding on, rather than tearing everything down and starting over.

There were also to be watchtowers and observation platforms specifically for the manor.

"Yes, my lord, I will arrange it in a moment."

Xue Rui replied respectfully, then immediately got busy with his subordinates.

"Alright, you all get busy."

Luo De did not linger, glanced at the Earth Dragon, and then headed straight to the Blacksmith Shop.

The ability of the Blade of Forge could now be taught to other blacksmiths.

Luo De had Hammer choose a few skilled and promising blacksmiths to teach them the Blade of Forge.

Of course, Luo De had to first implant the Seed of Nature into their bodies.

Only if they did not reject the Seed of Nature could Luo De fully trust them.

Even if they betrayed in the future, Luo De would not worry about this string’s power harming him.

It was not that Luo De was overly suspicious, but the Blade of Forge’s ability was too important.

At least, that was how it seemed for now.

Due to the limitation of body energy, Luo De condensed three small Seeds of Nature.

Anyhow, the blacksmiths didn’t need to cultivate, too much energy would be a waste.

Luo De chose a Yak Person and two humans, all implanted smoothly into their bodies.

The method of passing on the Blade of Forge was quite similar to Flame Tempering Forging Techniques, only far less painful.

Once the transmission of the Blade of Forge was complete, these three blacksmiths would specialize in forging weapons—Armor-Piercing Arrowheads and Knight’s Longswords.

Once these weapons were equipped, those footed knights would be invincible.

Luo De had many other tasks to attend to, after arranging matters at the Blacksmith Shop, he went directly to the pharmacy under the herb warehouse.

The manor needed rebuilding, so many items had to be moved out first.

For the time being, Luo De would not mix potions in his workshop, taking materials conveniently instead.

Luo De’s Life Force had recovered, so there was no need to waste Dragon Blood, instead needing to mass-produce Knight Roar Potions.

Many soldiers were physically strong, but many were past the age for Cultivation Breathing Technique. They had to use Knight Roar Potions to break through limitations and properly cultivate like regular Knights.

Fortunately, many Lizardmen had been hunted before, and there were over forty Mutated Demon Rabbits left in the territory, so materials were more than sufficient.

In fact, Earth Dragon Blood and White Wolf Blood could also produce Knight Roar Potions, just that no ordinary soldier could handle it.

Luo De might make a potion for himself.

To improve efficiency, Luo De had two assistants, Luna and another wizard apprentice, You Lai.

You Lai was the first girl found with apprentice aptitude, her affinity leaned towards wind attributes.

You Lai worked very hard but couldn’t be of much help due to her illiteracy, constantly learning.

Now was just the time for her to assist Luo De and be trained toward becoming an Alchemist.

"Good day, my lord."

You Lai pinched the corner of her clothing, lowering her head, not daring to look at Luo De, and murmured softly, "Please scold me if there is anything I did wrong while serving you for the first time."

"You can learn by the side first."

Luo De adjusted his tone seeing You Lai’s timid appearance.

To cultivate his own team, Luo De was willing to grant patience to beginner wizard apprentices like You Lai.

"Alright, let’s begin here."

Luo De looked at Luna, "First, give me the beast blood."

...

...

Luo De stayed in the pharmacy for an entire week, and the Knight Roar Potions filled the shelves.

A total of thirty bottles, which meant Luo De could instantly have thirty Apprentice Knights.

Of course, during that week, Luo De wasn’t just staying in the pharmacy; he did not let his cultivation and meditation fall behind, absorbing an Extraordinary gemstone every day.

"For now, let’s make these first. You Lai, you can go back and meditate and rest."

Luo De stretched lazily, waving his hand casually.

"Yes, my lord."

You Lai bowed respectfully.

In that week of grinding, You Lai had begun assisting Luo De with some simple tasks.

The most critical part was using Magic Power to pre-treat some materials, something Luna couldn’t do.

After You Lai left, Luo De looked at the new formula in his hand and beckoned to Luna,

"Prepare for me one pound each of valerian root, wild chamomile, and lavender spikes; half a pound of giant crab innards juice."

"And some peace leaves. Get more, it might not succeed."

"Yes, master."

Luna didn’t know why Luo De needed so much, but she quickly went to the warehouse and ice cellar to fetch the materials he needed.

Luo De looked at the formula in his hand and then at the materials on the table,

"Let’s gamble!"

...

"Finally completed!"

Luo De exhaled a long breath at the exhausted materials on the table and the purple luminescent liquid in the wooden pot.

After spending a day and trying eleven times, Luo De eventually succeeded in changing one potion’s formula to successfully craft a Primary Spiritual Comfort Potion.

This potion is mainly used to alleviate mental fatigue from various intellectual tasks, equally applicable for fatigue from meditation.

However, Luo De wasn’t clear on the specific effect.

Luo De had no intention of testing the potion’s effect; instead, he immediately checked the [Beginner Alchemist] effect.
