[Ughh… ] The old man's attributes were so low that even if she touched him with her paw, he might die. This was why Qin Hua had hesitated to save these people using her health potions.

It would be the same as throwing all the priceless elixirs down the drain.

[Oh! It even says relationship? Huh why is it neutral even after we did all these for these guys?]

[Ah. Never mind. Perhaps he is just not in the right mind.]

Her eyes then landed on the title 'Apprentice Alchemist'.

[Alchemist? Woof?]

[Was that something like medicine?] Qin Hua cocked her head and gazed at the old man and the wrinkles on his face.

[This old man probably dabbled in something like traditional herbal medicine or maybe he was one of those herbal doctors.]

Qin Hua licked her lips. That would explain everything. 

She was a bit disappointed that he hadn't awakened any special healing ability which would have been more useful but this wasn't too bad either.

[Should I run around and look if there are any special plants near us? Maybe I can sniff them out?]

Qin Hua tilted her head and sniffed the air around them but there was only the strong stench of death and blood everywhere.

[I guess I will check after we leave from here.] She gave up and sat back down, her eyes darting here and there, observing everything.

[Hmm… Now that I think about it, I haven't inspected these guys after my skill upgraded.]

[I should see if someone else also has some sort of unique ability.]

She looked at Alex, Xu Meilin, Guan Ye and Lu Chen

Qin Hua's eyes bulged in surprise as she went through all of their details. 

Alex and Guan Ye's stats did not give her any unexpected results but her biggest shock was reading Lu Chen's and Xu Meilin's, though it was for two different reasons.

At this moment, no one could see that the big devilish black wolf dog was blushing a little as she gazed at the relationship again.

But she quickly shook her head and reprimanded herself. [Ahh! Don't be an idiot dumbass. That guy just loves his dog!]

[Right. Right. I should focus on the other thing.]

Her blue and green orbs gazed at Xu Meilin's clairvoyance ability. It looked like she had also awakened something but maybe it was just not unlocked yet.

[Does she need more mana cores to unlock?]

Qin Hua walked over to the pile of heads and clutched a bunch with her paw. She then went to Xu Meilin and dropped all the heads near her, making the young girl jump up in fright.

[Ughh. Calm down dummy. Woof!]

She took one head and helped her absorb the mana core and Xu Meilin understood what she was doing. 

"You want me to absorb these 'little white'?" She hesitantly asked and Qin Hua nodded.

Sitting next to her, Luo Zu and Alex both looked confused wondering why Xu Meilin was suddenly getting special treatment.

The young girl wore a small smile on her lips and quickly absorbed the cores one by one.

This went on for a while… 30 mana cores later…

[Tch. Tch. It looks like this won't be easy at all. Does she need a different core? Or…]

[Woof! Maybe she needs one of those demonic cores like Su Yan!]

Qin Hua's mood immediately dropped as she gazed at the unconscious body again. [Inspect] She half-heartedly muttered, scared to even see what flashed in front of her.

[What the…] Qin Hua stared at the status that had popped up in utter shock.

[This... Was this second awakening perhaps too powerful for his body to handle and he went into some sort of coma?]

She immediately had an idea. [What if I help him strengthen his body by giving him a 'Cleansing potion'??]

Woof! She quickly used some of her coins to buy a cleansing potion from the shop. She walked over to Su Yan and popped it into his mouth, very carefully moving her paw.

It was just a small drop of liquid. So he didn't even have to swallow it. It was instantly absorbed in his mouth.

[Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up.] Qin Hua muttered, holding her breath. She waited for a few minutes, but nothing happened.

[Hmmm… it will be fine. Maybe the effects are not instantaneous. Even for me it took a while.] She reluctantly gazed at his kind face that remained as still as a corpse's and then walked over to Xu Meilin.

Woof! Qin Hua barked and opened her mouth wide. She even held that position for a while, standing like a statue.

Not knowing what was happening, Xu Meilin also opened her mouth in the end.
