Chapter 834: Chapter 529: Explosive Potential, Gorgeous Attribute Panel!
Beside Fang Zhou, several Undead Mages, who were part-time Mid Level Alchemists, were blending basic solvents, their skills adept and precise.
Maurice, a Silver Lower Rank Undead Mage and high-level Alchemist, stood aside, holding a Crystal Ball inlaid with runes, used to monitor energy fluctuations in the potion-making process.
These Undead Mages gathered in the Sea City Military Academy’s research project group might not excel in achievements as Undead Mages, but in every other aspect, they were deeply accomplished, worthy of being called masters of many arts.
After all, humans able to awaken such an ultra-rare occupation as Undead Mage were all exceptionally gifted geniuses.
For the past several decades, due to the natural barrier between the world of the living and the dead, they were stuck in a quagmire with little progress in their main profession as Undead Mages.
This forced them to devote most of their energy to sub-professions, resulting in extremely high achievements in these areas.
Alchemists, Blacksmiths, Array Masters, Alchemists, Scroll Masters, Appraisers......
All common sub-professions could be found within the Undead Mage research project group.
"Begin." Fang Zhou said solemnly, his voice echoing in the workshop.
A Mid Level Alchemist placed a Nether Soil crystal into a special grinder, adding a small amount of [Nether River Water] as a catalyst.
As the grinder turned, the crystal gradually shattered into fine black powder, emitting a strong death qi.
Another Alchemist placed Ghostly Cloud Moss into the distiller, slowly heating it with low-temperature alchemical fire.
The moss gradually melted into a blue liquid, emitting a faint fragrance that sharply contrasted with the death qi of the Nether Soil crystal.
Maurice personally handled the Yin Soul Spirit Sand.
He poured the Spirit Sand into a Bronze container engraved with runes, injecting pure undead energy.
Under the influence of energy, the Spirit Sand gradually condensed into silver droplets, exuding a dazzling glow.
When all materials were ready, Fang Zhou successively added the black powder, blue liquid, and silver droplets into the Bronze Furnace Cauldron.
The alchemical fire within the cauldron suddenly surged, enveloping the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures within.
"Inject mana and stabilize the energy!"
Maurice shouted, the Crystal Ball in his hand releasing strong energy fluctuations.
Fang Zhou injected his mana into the cauldron, and the liquid inside began to boil violently, changing from black to deep purple.
The temperature in the workshop plummeted, a peculiar aroma filling the air.
Like rotten soil mixed with cold metal, yet carrying a faint elusive fragrance.
"The final step, add your blood."
Fang Zhou circulated his mana, squeezing a drop of his essence blood from his finger into the cauldron.
As soon as the blood touched the potion, it abruptly contracted, finally coalescing into a bottle glowing with a ghostly purple light.
The Potential Potion was made!
From its appearance, the Potential Potion showed a deep and mysterious ghostly purple, the liquid in the bottle flowing slowly as if alive.
Upon close observation, tiny silver points of light flickered within the liquid, like stars in the night sky.
Opening the stopper, a complex scent wafted over.
Initially cold metallic, then the stench of rotten soil, finally a faint fragrance like the scent of a forest after rain.
Fang Zhou gazed at the Potential Potion with a sudden sense of the meaning of life, death, and endless reincarnation.
Yet this feeling vanished in a flash, like a glimmer of spiritual light gone as quickly as it came.
Maurice observed the Potential Potion carefully, a hint of envy flickering in his eyes.
He said, "So this is what Bronze-grade Potential Potion looks like.
Back when I was at the Bronze Stage, I couldn’t gather even one piece of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures with Bronze Attributes, forced to break through the bottleneck relying solely on my talent, advancing to Silver rank.
This part of the foundation always felt somewhat lacking.
We Undead Mages truly have it tough."
Fang Zhou remained silent.
Although he already had ideas about synthesizing various Undead Attribute resources in the Tomb Territory Alchemy Laboratory, he absolutely could not reveal this to Maurice and other Undead Mages at this moment.
Perhaps someday, Fang Zhou would find the path for resource synthesis and channels for material transport, completely changing this predicament of scarcity for Undead Mages.
The Potential Potion exposed directly to Blue Star’s air could easily dilute and degrade.
For Professionals, the quantity of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures they could absorb was limited.
Within this limit, naturally, the larger the quantity and the richer the energy of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, the better, to maximize its efficacy.
Fang Zhou composed his mind, following the experience taught by Instructor Su Xinyan, and directly drank the entire bottle of Potential Potion.
For other attribute Professionals, this Potential Potion was an extremely poisonous toxin.
Not to mention consuming it, even slight contact would cause death qi erosion, leading to severe illness.
However, for Undead Attribute Professionals like Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan, it was a great tonic.
Under Fang Zhou’s sharp perception, the Potential Potion melted upon entry, the taste resembling black truffle pudding somewhat.
Yet instead of sweetness, it brought a cold torrent down his throat into his body.
Simultaneously, Fang Zhou’s attribute panel timely responded.
"Detected absorption of alien resources, capable of consuming soul power for perfect absorption. Begin absorption?"
