Baiyu entered.
Cang Yan turned around, holding a vial in his claw: "Baiyu, I succeeded. Your Magic Elixir."
"How is it?"
"Wasted five batches of materials, the success rate of this Magic Elixir's concoction is extremely low, I don't even know why, every step was correct."
Cang Yan was very perplexed.
A while back, she was researching the mentor's Magic Elixir, believing she had mastered the concoction process completely.
However.
During the concoction, she still failed multiple times.
"Not bad."
Baiyu looked at the test tube containing the pale blue liquid, lightly shook it, and bubbles kept emerging inside.
Prayer Technique Apprentice Sequence.
Sequence Seven Elixir, mentor.
Baiyu took a deep breath, looked at this pale blue elixir, hesitated no longer, and drank it all in one gulp.
Gulp.
The entire vial tasted like mineral water, nothing particularly special.
Baiyu, after drinking it.
Wondered why there was no unusual reaction.
Then his brain exploded, like a landslide and tsunami.
He felt dizzy all of a sudden, immediately sat down onto a nearby chair.
His Spiritual Power surged crazily at this moment.
Also surging was his Spirituality.
The Magic Elixir contained vast amounts of knowledge, information, all exploding in his mind at this moment.
The flood of information left Baiyu unable to react; he could only passively accept, his mind in chaos.
Cang Yan watched nervously from the side.
Normally, during the promotion ritual, it's best to have someone watching.
However, many underground Extraordinary beings don't have someone they trust completely, so these rituals are often conducted alone.
This has led to.
The mutation rate among underground Extraordinary beings being extremely high.
Many mutated during the promotion process; a slight oversight could trigger internal pollution.
And when they start to mutate.
Originally, the promotion could be halted, stopping the mutation process, but without someone watching, things become irreversible.
Of course, Baiyu would never make such a mistake.
Therefore, every promotion, Cang Yan is basically beside him, ready for any unforeseen circumstances.
But this time.
Even Cang Yan couldn't be sure of Baiyu's condition.
Very soon.
Aside from Baiyu's brain being filled with information, rendering him temporarily unable to think; the two mouths on his palms had opened.
Two thorny tongues extended out.
Like whips, they swung around.
Under such circumstances.
Cang Yan dared not approach.
She knew the power of those mutated parts on Baiyu's palms; if she got close while Baiyu was out of control, she might be licked to death by the two tongues.
"Something's wrong."
Time ticked by.
Cang Yan watched Baiyu sitting motionless on the chair.
He'd been in this state for half an hour, the mouths that split open on his palms were gradually Healing, the tongues retracted back into his palms.
But Baiyu's condition didn't improve.
Like he'd lost his soul.
Cang Yan was a bit panicked.
Could it be Baiyu encountered issues during the promotion ritual?
Sequence Seven should encounter no major danger, right?
Yet.
Baiyu's rock-like condition was unsettling.
"Baiyu?"
"Baiyu?"
"Baiyu!!"
Cang Yan approached him, called softly but got no response.
Alarmed.
Cang Yan frowned, ran towards the experiment table, quickly found a vial of red potion.
Extraordinary Power Inhibitor.
This was the top-tier version without side effects.
Currently, they could only forcibly interrupt Baiyu's ritual, using the inhibitor to bring him out of this lost state.
Then.
Find another time for the ritual.
Priority was to keep him alive.
Very quickly.
Cang Yan climbed to Baiyu's shoulder, opened his mouth, ready to feed him the inhibitor.
Just then.
Baiyu suddenly sat up, as if awakened from a dream.
Then.
Golden light flashed in his eyes, an intense Spirituality surged uncontrollably from his body.
"I'm fine, no need."
Seeing Cang Yan's terrified eyes, Baiyu quickly said.
Then.
He sat down again, breathed deeply, and golden light shone in his eyes.
It was quite helpless.
Baiyu guessed how cliché he must look right now, but he couldn't control it.
Currently, he was in an extremely delicate state.
His rapidly growing Spirituality and Spirit were searching for a balance.
During this process.
He was under tremendous pressure.
Pollution Level even reached the critical point, hence the mutation on his palm.
Time continued to pass.
Finally, after an hour, Baiyu gradually restored himself, regained control of his body.
The golden light in his eyes slowly faded.
However.
He appeared more dignified than before.
Even without any movement, just standing there, conveyed a mountainous sense of stability.
Entirely unbefitting his age.
Cang Yan was briefly puzzled; could it be Baiyu was possessed?
"Don't worry, this is the mentor's Ability."
Baiyu said.
The mentor's Magic Elixir was quite special.
No.
To be precise, the entire Prayer Technique Apprentice series of Magic Elixirs was unique.
Besides boosting the existing abilities of the Prayer Technique Apprentice, Fanatical Scholar.
The mentor provided four new Abilities.
The first was that aura of dignity.
Called "Calm State."
This Ability is nuanced, its general Ability is that Baiyu can remain calm at any time.
Never panic at crucial moments.
Though people with strong Spirit also have this Ability, it's not as direct as Baiyu's.
Furthermore.
This Ability also exudes an aura that can intimidate timid people, like Cang Yan.
Most importantly.
In the Calm State, his resistance to Spiritual Attacks greatly increases, as does his resistance to pollution and mutation.
The second Ability is called "Teaching."
This Ability is straightforward.
Baiyu can grant someone one of his Extraordinary Abilities and retract it anytime.
Like a mentor imparting knowledge and skills to students.
This Ability somewhat confuses Baiyu, seeming like a team-oriented Ability, yet he always operates as a lone wolf.
This Ability.
Temporarily seems a bit redundant to him.
The third Ability.
Called Encyclopedic Knowledge.
This Ability is currently the most useful; it allows Baiyu to absorb more Extraordinary knowledge, quickly memorizing all kinds of books.
This enhances his understanding and analysis of Extraordinary Power.
Considered an Ability that directly strengthens Baiyu.
Moreover.
The last Ability is Enlightenment.
This Ability.
Is where Baiyu consumes his Spirituality to enlighten others, making it easier for them to comprehend Spirit Technique, Extraordinary knowledge, etc.
Teaching, Enlightenment.
Are abilities that help others.
Baiyu can't use them for himself, only to enhance the power of people around him.
After pondering for a moment, Baiyu realized these two Abilities could indeed have some utility.
That was to cultivate his own forces.
He can enlighten people around him, and use Teaching to grant them one of his Abilities, then gradually cultivate them.
This way, he doesn't fear betrayal from people around him.
Because whether it's Enlightenment or Teaching, Baiyu controls them, able to retract them at any time.
Anyone acquiring knowledge through Enlightenment.
If Baiyu desires, he can make them forget at any moment.
Currently, these abilities were granted upon his promotion to mentor; as he gains a deeper understanding of the mentor's Magic Elixir, he may develop other Abilities.
Yet as of now.
The mentor's Abilities greatly enhance him.
At this point.
Upon Baiyu withdrawing the Calm State, Cang Yan finally reacted, hurriedly asking: "How do you feel after successfully promoting?"
Baiyu didn't answer immediately but invoked the Teaching Ability instead.
Then.
Golden light flashed across Cang Yan's body.
