Zhou Zhou looked at the drop rates of the other desert fog lizards.
Unfortunately, no desert fog lizard other than that advance grade desert fog lizard had alchemy-related items that could be dropped.
He shook his head. It was so difficult to encounter a fog monster that could drop items related to alchemy technology.
Moreover, its appearance rate was so low.
In other words, he could definitely drop alchemy-related items since he had a 100% drop rate, that's if only it appeared.
If it was another lord, he probably wouldn't even have an alchemy-related item drop within a year.
However, it made sense thinking about it.
If it could be dropped so easily, it would at least be Diamond-tier lord talent instead of a green bronze-tier lord talent!
"That's exactly why its actual effect is at least comparable to a Diamond-tier lord talent!"
"These two lord talents are really a perfect match!" Zhou Zhou felt even more satisfied.
A little more than 10 minutes later, barely 5 desert fog lizards were alive from the almost 90 desert fog lizards.
"Let them go! Man Nao will go after them," Zhou Zhou said, stopping his soldiers from continuing the massacre.
As soon as he finished speaking, a three-meter-tall silver-gray mechanical bird instantly ran past him and chased after the five fleeing desert fog lizards.
It was extremely fast, disappearing into the desert in the blink of an eye.
"What kind of monster is that? Could it be that the Lord has subdued another bird monster as a fighter?"
Lu Chong exclaimed as he stared mechanical bird disappearing into the distance.
"I'm definitely not seeing things! That's Man Nao on that monster!" Hui Teng exclaimed.
"The bird is an alchemy technology product. You will have yours as soon as they're built." Zhou Zhou explained.
Then, he ignored the excited soldiers and got them to pull in the desert fog lizard corpses outside.
After pulling the corpses into the territory and keeping it in front of the lord's house, Zhou Zhou arrived in front of the advance grade desert fog lizard's corpse.
He made sure no eyes were on him before putting his hand on it.
A golden notification appeared.
[Do you want to retrieve the loot?]
"Yes!"
A text notification appeared the next moment.
[Lord Talent Hint: 8 units of mist cores (black iron-tier), Black iron-tier advance grade (100 units of desert fog lizard flesh, 1 sand stealth skill book, 1 alchemy potion formula - golden corpse water, and 1 sword shield soldier recruitment book), 10 kg water bag, 2 sword shield soldier class change certificates (basic)]
Whoosh.
The advance grade desert fog lizard's corpse instantly turned into a large amount of loot.
Zhou Zhou ignored everything else and picked up the alchemy potion formula.
A text notification appeared.
[Alchemy Potion Formula: Golden corpse water]
[Formula Quality: Black iron-tier advance grade]
[Formula Effect: You can master the refining method of the golden corpse water upon use. Each drop of golden corpse water can preserve the corpse for 72 hours without rotting or turning into mist that dissipates in the world.]
[Formula Raw Materials: Blood clotting grass (black iron-tier advance grade), dead water (black iron-tier intermediate grade), gold powder (normal material)]
[Learning Requirement: Can only be learned by alchemists, technicians, doctors, and other herb-related life professions.]
The anticipation on Zhou Zhou's face faded.
This formula… It works but it doesn't seem to be of much use…
At least I won't have to stay up late to retrieve the loot from the corpse.
He felt a little better at this thought.
He had to retrieve loot from the corpses within two hours of killing them before they dissipated into thin air.
Doing this for a day or two was fine, but he would probably go crazy if it continued every day.
The golden corpse water was perfect for him to gather dead corpses during the day and extract the loot.
It would allow him to rest normally at night.
Together with the decapitated heads brought back by his soldiers, there were a total of 281 corpses:
199 black iron-tier elementary grade desert fog lizards and 82 black iron-tier intermediate grade desert fog lizards left after Zhou Zhou extracted all the loot from the other advance grade desert fog lizard's corpse!
He had obtained a total of 726 units black iron-tier mist cores!
7,2,60 units of desert fog lizard flesh (black iron-tier elementary and intermediate grade)!
445kg of water!
282 sword shield soldier class change certificates!
83 sword shield soldier recruitment books!
1 Sand Stealth Skill Book!
Together with Hui Teng, Zhou Zhou went to the gate of summoning and used the 83 sword shield soldier recruitment books to summon 83 black iron-tier elementary grade sword shield soldiers.
Unafraid of a situation where the screams and sounds of weapon will create an ugly image in the minds of the civilians due to facing 83 soldiers at once, he stood back as Hui Teng stunned the entire battalion of Sword Shield Soldiers.
"The mental manipulation skill is really suitable to deal with a large number of targets," watching Hui Teng cut through the 83 soldiers, he shook his head at the pitiful promotion energy gotten.
"My lord, I'm just short 1,012 promotion energy away from becoming a Green bronze-tier advance grade Soldier!" Hui Teng said respectfully after dealing with the summoned soldiers.
"That's good. Go and rest with others. We'll go hunting again tonight," Zhou Zhou said.
After Hui Teng left, he then went to the Gnome alchemy workshop and found Ashburn Hall, who was refining potions.
"Greetings, my lord." Ashburn said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou nodded before handing the golden corpse water formula to him.
"This is the alchemy potion formula I just obtained. I'll take care of the materials."
"Refine some every day. You don't have to refine too much of it."
He said.
Ashburn took the formula in surprise which heightened when he saw that it was golden corpse water.
"It's actually the golden corpse water formula. This is quite practical! Your lordship is so lucky." He sighed.
As the owner of the gnome alchemy workshop, he naturally knew the effect of his own building.
He was already prepared that he would not be able to learn new alchemy technology or alchemy potions in a year or so.
He did not expect to learn something new on his first day here.
"Don't worry, my lord. As long as there are materials, I will definitely refine them immediately for my lord's use." Ashburn looked at the golden corpse formula in his hand with a burning gaze.
Then, he chose to learn it without hesitation.
Zhou Zhou opened his interface.
His skill bar already had the words "Alchemy potion – golden corpse water (black iron-tier advance grade)".
"Then I'll leave it to you."
He said no more and left under Ashburn's respectful escort.
In the lord's wooden house, he opened the marketplace again and set a trade for the raw materials required for the golden corpse water.
He set the trade at 10 units of black iron-tier elementary grade desert fog lizard meat in exchange for each set of materials to refine the golden corpse water.
It was the same price as the materials for the mechanostrider.
