In trying to discover the second poison, Lu Li continued using the Dragon Claw Grass but chose a higher level herb for its complement. Unfortunately, the process failed in the last moment.
Trial and error didn't seem to be particularly reliable. It seemed that the best way to learn about poisons was to read the books that Garona had given him, rather than to blindly try his luck. His first success could now be clearly attributed to sheer chance.
With a pile of books, Lu Li left the castle.
He was going to find a team of Mages to farm for him before finding a place to sit down and read. This wasn't unusual in Dawn; there were some people who would scan documents to read in-game.
For example, an accountant could write his report and a network administrator could have his notes next to him. Even Sorrowless could handle his guild's affairs while letting a group of Mages farm for him.
