“The key to pharmaceutics is the balance of the three spirituals when they’re combined?”
Fang Yuan’s reading and comprehension ability were very high. Amidst the sound of pages being turned, he had already finished reading the thick book, Fundamentals of Pharmaceutics, and shut his eyes so he could silently recall its contents.
It was no easy task to extract and purify natural spiritual energy and energetic spiritual energy.
The many different methods and techniques to accomplish this, occupied most of the book. Moreover, there was a tag behind every technique that stated that a lot of practice was required to ensure precision.
It was a pity that Fang Yuan didn’t even have basic materials.
“The nurturing of a Pharmacist is a very worrying thing, even to the wealthy and overbearing Demon Hunter Union…”
Fang Yuan closed the book and pondered, “Looks like… I’ll have to earn and obtain big bucks to build a plantation and experimental lab for myself.”
Another point to consider was that many of the medicament formulae were a secret to Pharmacists. Even when he looked everywhere on the second level, he could only find a few pieces of the most common formulae. There were no traces of the process for making high-end medicaments, such as treatment water.
As for this situation, Fang Yuan could only sigh and resign his life to looking at other content.
“Aside from Pharmacists, a Demon Hunters three duties include being an Alchemist and a Forging Master!”
Forging Master was basically Casting masters. For example, one could use Secret Silver to make a Demon Hunter’s large sword, an axe, and other weapons. One could also make gunpowder, research on the repeater gun and so on. Casting masters can be said to be the logistics of Demon Hunters. If they were to disappear, the abilities of all Demon Hunters would drop drastically.
As for alchemy, it was a subject similar to pharmaceutics. Both of them used the various types of strange ingredients—among them were ingredients mainly from the Night Family Clan, which were then refined to many different kinds of weapons with magical effects.
They were different from that of a Forging Master. If it was said, that the things they produced were divine technology; then the things that the Alchemists made would be much more magical as they achieved various unbelievable results.
Moreover, so as to remind the Demon Hunters about the dangers of these magical objects, they were referred to as Demon Weapons!
“There’s also a grading amongst the Demon Weapons. The higher the level of the ingredients that are used, the more powerful the created Demon Weapons will be. It’s even said that Legendary Weapons have the amazing ability to copy Sacred Weapons!”
Regarding Forging Masters, Fang Yuan had little interest. However, he showed a special interest in becoming an Alchemist.
After all, it was similar to being a Pharmacist as both of them used the ingredients of the Night Family Clan and had an effect of complementing each other.
Furthermore, in the future, he would definitely obtain many ingredients that are necessary for this aspect!
“A person cannot become one of the top Pharmacists or Alchemists in a day or two. I’m going to accept the fierce mission of suppressing the Voodoo Corpse in the Bay of Pigs soon. If I don’t want to make a mistake, I should still quickly upgrade my abilities.
This world seemed to have a power that was similar to the one in the Purple Eye Realm which caused the progress of Fang Yuan’s recovery abilities to slow down.
Moreover, he was also quite interested in the path of becoming a Demon Hunter. Hence, he was preparing to improve his ability, in the aspect of becoming one.
“In actual fact, Demon Hunters below S-grade can only use Sacred Water and training to trigger their physical fitness to become multiple times better than an ordinary person, like a minor superhero. Only with the help of the medicament, equipment, and Demon Weapons can one fight against the Night Family Clan in the middle-class and above…
“As for S-grade Demon Hunters, they can totally become the president of a branch. They’re also big shots who have their own titles… For example, the president of the branch I’m in has the title of being a talented Demon Hunter called ‘Daybreak Sword.’ The only problem is that he’s often cultivating and doesn’t show himself often.”
“And above the Titled Demon Hunters are the Sacred Weapon holders! The true elites!”
Fang Yuan was clear about his own ability. He had no problems dealing with the low-class Night Family Clan, but it would be pushing it if he were to deal with the middle-class. Based on the ability he had back then, Fang Yuan didn’t need to look at the high-class Night Family Clan members and, of course, the Evil Demons.
Of course, there were also exceptions.
For example, if the Evil Demon was reckless enough to spy on his True Spirit, then he wouldn’t even be afraid of the Evil Demon King in a spiritual battle!
“And I thought that there were some special cultivation techniques or what-not… I didn’t expect Demon Hunters to be so average. Aside from depending on Sacred Water and training their physical body to increase their physical fitness, they only have different types of techniques!”
Fang Yuan walked back and forth and could somewhat find a few books that were similar to secret manuals at the front.
“These are purely knife, sword, and gun techniques… Through umpteen times of revision and modifications by Demon Hunters, they had become extremely condensed, and best suited to the body of a Demon Hunter.”
Although he had countless techniques inside, some would need to be accompanied by the activation of elemental force and weren’t a match for a Demon Hunter.
Furthermore, some of these Demon Hunter’s techniques looked superfluous, however, this was done intentionally to match the type of a target demon. In a battlefield, one would discover that what seemed like a pointless attack path, would actually be very good for avoiding a demon’s attack and attacking it!
Fang Yuan wouldn’t overlook the hard work of the aboriginals just because he believed that he had an abundance of modern knowledge.
Of course, this didn’t imply that he needed to accept everything. He would need to extract the essence, remove the waste, and use his own experiences to undergo revision based on actual combat and find the techniques that suited him best.
“Morning Stars Swordsmanship? Shady Flow Flying Claw? And Homan Chet’s gun skill advancement?”
The entire second level contained many techniques that suited Demon Hunters. However, not many caught Fang Yuan’s eye. After filtering them, there were only three books left.
“Homan Chet was a titled Demon Hunter in the past, and was called ‘Gun God’. His gun skills were, of course, superb. Unfortunately… my magical energy is higher than others and doesn’t require his technique in this aspect. Furthermore… the glory of this Gun God is mostly due to his legendary demon gun—Monster Sob. It’s not guaranteed that I’ll be able to get the same Demon Weapon. Overdependence on an object isn’t a good thing either…”
Fang Yuan rubbed his chin and recalled the Gun God’s past. He had a good memory and had seen his information before.
Originally, this Homan Chet was able to achieve boastful results during wars by killing Evil Demons with the help of the Monster Sob gun. Unfortunately, his own abilities were average, and he was easily killed by a disguised person from the Night Family Clan. Of course, it also took the legendary Demon Weapon.
From then on, giant swords and daggers became the symbol of Demon Hunters.
Even a Demon Hunter with fascinating gun skills would at least have skills to protect himself with a dagger to prevent the same thing from happening.
For this technique, it had high requirements and a lot of preparation, hence, Fang Yuan quickly gave up.
“Shady Flow Flying Claw is suitable for sneak attacks, and it’s able to achieve the result of being able to travel with fast movements on complicated terrain. However, I need to make a customized Flying Iron Claws, and it’s troublesome. This can be my second choice instead!”
Fang Yuan didn’t have much hesitation and flipped open the Morning Stars Swordsmanship book straightaway.
“Hmm?”
He could tell the difference immediately. This swordsmanship technique was very refined. It had a few words and lots of images. Every picture was realistic. A body holding onto a sword was drawn with just a few strokes. Even if a Demon Hunter had little knowledge on the matter, one wouldn’t be able to make mistakes.
“A moving technique would need to abandon the useless flashy movements in order to kill and injure something in the quickest and most ruthless way. In this aspect, the author seemed to have achieved the best results…” Fang Yuan nodded his head and continued to flip through the book, page by page.
This Morning Stars Swordsmanship had no system at all. Instead, it used a collection of multiple different swordsmanship schools. It also had a special move to harm the different types of demons.
Based on Fang Yuan’s view, they could be called “Werewolf Kill,” “Vampire Kill,” “Flying Demon Kill,” “Interchangeable shielding moves,” and so on.
As for the “Method to Kill Evil Demons,” sorry, there was nothing like that.
“Even so, the ability of the author is decent, moreover… who knows if he had continued improving?”
Fang Yuan read on and reached the last page of the book.
On this page, the style was completely different from the others. The drawings were abstract, and there was only one picture of a vast starry night.
“Imagine yourself to be among the starry night. Any star is okay to be a sword!”
Under the picture was a line of words that had a unique appeal.
“Looks like… I did underestimate the author a little.”
Fang Yuan froze in shock but promptly nodded his head. “I originally thought that this was only a collection of scattered moves, but, surprisingly, he simplified the complicated things and had a consistent method, founding his own ‘path’! He completed his breakthrough. Is he one of the Titled Demon Hunters?”
Fang Yuan continued to read and reached the last line, “Morning Stars Swordsmanship can be divided into three states—Morning Stars, Old Moon, and Dawn. For someone who is able to be in the state of Old Moon, they can become my disciple—Seres!”
“Seres?”
Fang Yuan was shocked. “The president of the branch? Daybreak Sword? This is swordsmanship left by him?
“To become a legendary Demon Hunter, he is, of course, outstanding. Is he trying to find a disciple through this method?”
Unfortunately, even a Sacred Weapon holder wasn’t suited to be Fang Yuan’s master.
“However, there are lessons worth learning in his swordsmanship. I need to fight soon, so I’ll be able to quickly see the effect…”
The swordsmanship of Daybreak Sword was very simple, allowing one to elaborate on it while fighting.
“In actual fact, the most useful technique isn’t his last Starry Night State, but the simple techniques at the beginning, as well as the weak spots for the demons and evasion techniques…”
Fang Yuan casually stabbed, and as if he was holding a sharp sword.
“The strongest have their own aura and unique pathway. What’s the point of imitating them?
“I can totally integrate the essence of his swordsmanship into my own, creating my own unique swordsmanship and pave my own path!”
