Chapter 178: Raising Affinity!

“President, I have a certain amount of knowledge regarding medicinal herbs. Can you let me try?”

Among the rewards from the Dragon of Light previously, there was the [Dragon’s Pharmacopoeia]. This tool could allow Lorne, who did not have any herb identification skill, to evaluate most herbs.

Moreover, this was the Dragon Race’s pharmacopoeia. The records regarding rare herbs were definitely much more complete than the information of other races.

“You?”

President Doge was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. He did not believe that a young man who did not even reach the Earth Realm would know this special herb that even he, the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s President, did not know.

Despite this thought, President Doge agreed to Lorne’s request.

He placed the herbs on the tray and let Lorne appraise them.

Lorne touched the herb and the function of [Dragon’s Pharmacopoeia] was immediately triggered. An attributes panel identified appeared in front of him.

————

[Jade Snake Orchid]

Grade: Rare

Effect: …

Prescription: …

Production: …

Introduction: …

It could be seen that this panel was filled with information. Just the medicinal effect alone had a few hundred words. After all, it was a high-grade medicinal herb. It was understandable that it had many uses.

However, at this moment, Lorne could not help but praise the power of the Dragon’s Pharmacopoeia. He had only identified a single medicinal herb, but it had actually found a suitable formula.

Not only that, but the Dragon’s Pharmacopoeia could even identify the location where the herb grew. This function was really too powerful.

“President Doge, if I’m not mistaken, this herb should be the Jade Snake Orchid.” Lorne said deliberately.

“What?! You’re saying this is the legendary Jade Snake Orchid?!”

President Doge was shocked and could not believe his ears.

“Indeed!”

Lorne nodded calmly and said directly to the information panel in front of him, “This herb is the Jade Snake Orchid. It only grows in a monster nest called the ‘Jade Horn Snake’ and relies on the Jade Horn Snake’s fallen jade horns as nutrients. Therefore, any Jade Snake Orchid contains rich magic power. Typically, alchemists will use this magical herb as a supplementary herb for the potion. This way, the potion’s effect will be even stronger.”

“However, the Jade Snake Orchid is also very useful to monsters, so usually, when this herb ripens, it will be directly swallowed by the Jade Horn Snake in the nest, so there are very few mature Jade Snake Orchids in the outside world.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can place the Jade Horn Snake’s jade horn fragment on the leaves. This medicinal herb will gradually absorb the energy on the jade horn and grow a new root.”

Hearing Lorne describe the medicinal properties of the Jade Serpent Orchid in such detail, Doge basically believed him, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Therefore, he found the jade horn fragment and placed it on the medicinal herb’s leaves.

It did not take long for the jade horn fragment to lose its magical energy. A long, thin root grew from the root of the herb. If it was given soil, it would regain its vitality.

Seeing this, Doge completely believed Lorne’s conclusion.

“That’s right! That’s right! This is the Jade Snake Orchid!”

Doge laughed loudly, then looked at Lorne in amazement, “Thank you, my friend. There are almost no mature Jade Snake Orchids on the market. I even forgot about this medicinal herb. Fortunately, with your guidance, after knowing that it’s Jade Snake Orchid, I’m even more confident in my next high-level potion refinement!”

“I really did not expect you to have such knowledge at such a young age. It makes me, the guild leader, feel ashamed.”

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining the admiration of the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s Guild Leader, [Doge]. Obtained: Doge’s affinity+500!”

A system notification suddenly appeared.

Seeing the reward, Lorne was in a good mood.

This Doge in front of him was the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s Guild Leader. In the future, if the Cold Desolate Dragon City was built, he might be able to cooperate with them as a main city. At that time, the benefits would definitely be incomparably huge.

While Lorne was thinking, Doge had already placed the information on the table back on the shelf and walked out the door. At the same time, he said, “My friend, in the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s warehouse, there are a large number of herbs that have not been labeled with names and medicinal properties. Can you help us complete this difficult mission?”

“Of course.”

Lorne accepted the invitation.

How could he let go of such a chance to gain affinity for nothing?

Therefore, Lorne followed Doge to the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s warehouse. Under Doge’s lead, Lorne saw one herb after another. These herbs were not labeled.

Without hesitation, Lorne began to appraise it.

“President Doge, this herb is called the s.h.i.+ning Sunflower. It’s born in the mouth of a scorching volcano and has very rich fire elemental energy. It’s a special combustion agent for smelting ores.”

“This herb is called the Ice Lotus. It can only be harvested on a mountain range of ten thousand meters.”

“This is called the Earth Dragon Vine. It is a very special corrosive vine. When refining healing potions, it can corrode the poison on other herbs…”

“This is a Longevity Fruit. Every fruit needs 100 years to mature.”

“…”

In the following period of time, Lorne stayed in the Alchemist a.s.sociation’s warehouse and began to identify various herbs.

President Doge was completely stunned.

He could not understand how this young man’s knowledge of herbs was so rich. Not only did he know all about rare herbs, but he also knew all the special herbs from the ancient era like the back of his hand.

Such knowledge subverted Doge’s world view.

…

Ding!

“You have identified an unknown herb. Doge’s affinity with you+100!”

“You…”

“You…”

On the system notification panel, information kept jumping.

Almost every time he identified a medicinal herb, Lorne would obtain 100 affinity points from Doge.

When he saw that the affinity between him and Doge was rising crazily, Lorne made up his mind. This time, he had to raise the affinity between him and Doge to the highest limit!

“President Doge, I see that the medicinal properties of many of the herbs you marked are not complete. Let me help you guys recover the medicinal properties of these herbs.”

Lorne gave up on the idea of quickly completing everything and began to appraise the supplies in the Alchemist a.s.sociation. Even the medicinal list in the database was used by Lorne to supplement the information.

As for Doge beside him, his face was already covered in tears. Their guild had not given this friend anything, but this friend helped them without asking for anything in return. This was too touching!!!
