When it comes to the methods of alchemy, Lin Lian is barely a beginner; he only has a rudimentary understanding of medicinal properties. This so-called "rudimentary understanding" is based on his experience with Herbal Cuisine and the knowledge stored in his mind from the Encyclopedia.
Although he does not understand alchemy, Lin knows how to make soup richer, locking in the essence of the broth within the Clay Pot.
There is a strange similarity here: medicinal soups require the medicinal properties to be released, allowing them to reach their optimal effectiveness, while herbal soups are concentrated and refined to become an essence-rich broth.
Thus, the distinction between medicinal soup and herbal soup becomes blurred within this boundary.
It is precisely because he understands this key point that Lin dares to attempt creating a dish known as "Energy Essence" from Herbal Cuisine!
Regardless, Lin has made this decision. No one can persuade him otherwise; with his stubborn nature, no one can sway him... especially since there is currently no one around.
Therefore, he is determined to make this Torrent!
...
The name Torrent sounds complicated, but in reality, it is a very simple medicinal soup. What Lin needs to do is a clear stew; only through clear stewing can the essence be highlighted.
The difficulty in preparing this dish lies in two aspects. The first and most important is controlling the heat; this dish requires precise control over the cooking temperature.
The second aspect involves handling the ingredients.
Crimson Spirit Fruit resembles a tomato and only needs to be cut open simply. The most crucial part is dealing with the Willow Leaf Turtle.
The Willow Leaf Turtle poses a significant challenge; it moves incredibly fast, and any slight mistake could allow it to escape. Warriors below Thirty Levels cannot catch it, let alone Lin.
What makes matters worse is that once captured, this cautious creature's alertness increases exponentially. If it manages to escape, it will be nearly impossible to catch again!
This task represents Lin's first hurdle in making Torrent.
...
In the living room, Lin placed the glass box containing the Willow Leaf Turtle on the table and frowned in contemplation. He looked at the tightly sealed glass box, holding the Surging Waves in his left hand, unsure of how to proceed.
This glass box is specially designed for the Willow Leaf Turtle, with strong pressure resistance.
This creature is incredibly fast and has a fierce attack method, using the force generated by its speed to collide with enemies. Even a primary-level martial artist would suffer broken bones from a single hit.
Through the transparent glass box, the Willow Leaf Turtle slyly crouches in the corner, occasionally changing its position. Sometimes it hangs upside down at the top of the box, other times it darts to another corner, keeping a wary eye on Lin.
The Willow Leaf Turtle has developed intelligence comparable to that of monkeys on Earth and can understand the emotions of external beings.
It seems to sense the killing intent in Lin's eyes, which is why it appears so anxious.
Seeing the Willow Leaf Turtle darting around in the box, its speed is so fast that Lin can barely see it; it feels like it teleports with just a blink of an eye.
This makes Lin even more hesitant to open the box. He knows that as soon as he presses the switch to open it, he won't even have time to react before this creature escapes.
After darting around for a moment, the Willow Leaf Turtle seems to realize that Lin poses no threat and gradually calms down, slowly moving to the side of the glass closest to him.
The Willow Leaf Turtle presses its head against the glass, staring at Lin with its distorted eyes, its nostrils flaring as if mocking him.
"Come on! If you have guts, open the door for Grandpa!" The disdainful look from the Willow Leaf Turtle is a challenge.
"Hey! Look at how capable you are!"
Staring into the eyes of the Willow Leaf Turtle, Lin's anger flares up. He is certain that this creature is mocking him.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Lin's suspicion is confirmed—the Willow Leaf Turtle sees that he hasn't moved for a long time and thinks he has backed down, so it lazily starts to crawl back.
This time, the Willow Leaf Turtle moves at its slowest speed, crawling like an ordinary turtle. It takes its time and eventually settles down in the corner after a while.
This infuriates Lin! He really wants to use Surging Waves to chop this guy down!
"Alright, you think you're tough? I don't believe I can't handle you. The marketplace will take care of you; let's see what I can do!"
Lin opened the shop with a mumble. He was a member of the shop, and as long as it could solve the problem, it was no problem at all!
Uh, of course, there was one prerequisite: Lin had enough Hero Coins...
Counting it up, Lin's Hero Coins were running low, with a balance of 165. He still needed to buy the Crimson Spirit Fruit and Divine Residue, so there wasn't much currency left to use.
Lin furrowed his brows, pursed his lips, and occasionally made a "tch tch" sound, his face filled with difficulty.
Within the set budget, it was indeed quite challenging for Lin to find items that could deal with the Willow Leaf Turtle.
Back and forth, Lin spent more than ten minutes continuously changing various keywords in the search box... After another ten minutes, Lin finally relaxed his brows.
"I got it! Hehe!"
Lin's face lit up with a smile as his worries vanished. He closed the shop and held a spray bottle in his hand, looking arrogantly at the Willow Leaf Turtle.
The Willow Leaf Turtle, which had been crouched in the corner, suddenly shivered. It turned its head to look at Lin, confusion appearing in its eyes.
In the next moment, the Willow Leaf Turtle seemed to sense the source of danger. It quickly turned around, presenting its rear to Lin, and then curled up its limbs. With a soft thud, it transformed into a turtle hiding its head!
"Haha! You were just pretending all along! Not only are you a cowardly turtle, but you're also a big ostrich that sticks its butt up when faced with danger!"
Seeing the arrogant demeanor of the Willow Leaf Turtle being crushed by him, Lin Dawei felt delighted.
He raised the spray bottle in his hand and sneered softly, "You’ll get a taste of my Drunken Death Dreaming Soul Dispersal!"

Ahem, although this item seems somewhat dubious, Lin was even too embarrassed to look at its Introduction, its effects are undeniably powerful.
One must admit, products from the mall are always top-notch!
Lin coughed lightly and approached the glass case with ill intentions, then aimed the spray nozzle at the ventilation opening. A smirk crept onto his lips as he whispered, "Sweetheart, have a good sleep now, hehe..."
(Pfft, that evil grin—doesn't it remind you a bit of a bar-hopping girl?)
"Zzzzt!"
The spray continuously filled the ventilation opening. Lin Yi showed no remorse for this "miracle drug," spraying three times to ensure the mist filled the box.
Then, Lin cheerfully covered the ventilation opening with his hand so that the Sedative would fully evaporate.
