Chapter 322 The Shackles of Bloodline and the Elixir of Life Enhancement
"The limits of human bloodline—" Li Ang muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously tapping on his knees.
He recalled the muscle-building potion he had initially developed. At that time, his mentor, Eve, had solemnly warned him that the nascent concept within the potion, which guided the essence of life to evolve to a higher level, would bring him endless trouble once exposed.
But things are different now.
He is now the strongest in the alliance, having defeated Makarov, bearing the name of the Ancestral Dragon's Agent, and befriending elves, dwarves, and dragons.
The concerns of the past are no longer so daunting in the face of absolute power and intricate web of interests.
More importantly, time is running out.
The shadow of the end has already descended. If we want to protect everything we cherish in the future catastrophe and lead everyone to fight for a chance of survival, our current strength is far from enough.
"We must break through the legend and reach the unknown—" A resolute glint flashed in Li Ang's eyes, "and the [Muscle-Building Potion] is the key."
The existing formula for the muscle-building drug is actually quite perfect, and its effect on strengthening the body is remarkable.
However, Li Ang was well aware that with the existing framework of medicinal materials, no matter how the proportions were adjusted, there was a theoretical upper limit to its efficacy, and it could not truly break the shackles of the life level.
Unless, a catalyst that can trigger a qualitative change is added.
With a thought, Li Ang took out a small crystal bottle from his [High-Level Space Ring]. Inside the bottle, a few drops of emerald-green liquid floated quietly; it was the [Blood of God] he had obtained from the Titan of Life in Avalon.
Eve had once told him that this substance was a universal catalyst that could enhance the efficacy of medicinal herbs by more than ten times.
"This is it." Li Ang put the crystal bottle back into his ring and took out the [Gray Feather Pen] that had been upgraded to LV60.
The pen body exudes a warm ivory luster, and its 600% enhancement effect allows the writer to gain profound insights as if they had personally experienced them many times when putting pen to paper.
Li Ang spread out the parchment, picked up his pen, and focused his mind. He didn't write down the recipe directly, but first quickly deduced it in his mind.
First, he replaced the Frost-striped Tiger Blood in the original potion with Dragon Blood. Dragon Blood is far more potent than Frost-striped Tiger Blood. After the previous battle in the Holy Land, he collected some blood that had been left on the workshop, which came in handy at this time.
He then replaced the stone root grass, which was originally used as a stabilizer in the formula, with a more effective compound stabilizer.
Next, based on the original framework of the [Muscle Building Agent], retaining its core idea of guiding life energy and gradually strengthening the essence, several new medicinal materials were added.
It's not about piling up medicinal effects, but about building more complex and stable energy channels to withstand the violent energy flow that may be generated after the catalysis of [Blood of God], and to guide it in an orderly manner to the depths of the source of life.
【Chongyang Grass】enhances blood circulation, but its dryness needs to be neutralized with 【Moonlight Moss】and supplemented with 【Star Flower】to stabilize energy.
Phoenix Feather Powder provides powerful self-healing and vitality, but its effects must be stabilized and enhanced with Deep Sea Pearl Powder.
Li Ang's pen never stopped, and the names and proportions of each medicinal herb were written out smoothly. With each stroke of the [gray quill pen], he felt as if he had personally experienced the refining process of the formula. The principal, assistant, and adjuvant herbs, the subtle changes in the flow of energy, the possible conflicts and reconciliations—countless pieces of information and insights flooded into his mind, and were quickly integrated and optimized.
Time passed quietly in the quiet room. Outside the window, the lights of the white city gradually went out, but the light of the Five Towers remained constant.
After hours of continuous calculation, deliberation, and simulation, the parchment was filled with dense symbols and formulas. Finally, Li Ang put down his pen.
A brand-new formula for the "Life Sublimation Potion," with "Blood of God" as its core catalyst and designed to break through the limits of life levels, leaps off the page.
Although it is only the theoretical ultimate form, and the amount of [Blood of God] is limited and must be used with caution, the direction is clear and the path has been paved.
Li Ang let out a soft sigh, feeling a wave of mental exhaustion. He carefully put away the parchment and quill before lying down fully clothed.
The next morning, when Li Ang stepped out of his bedroom, the aroma of breakfast filled the living room. Nelson and Rodney were setting out toast, fried eggs, fruit, and hot milk on the long table.
Eve was holding a cup of floral tea, standing by the window gazing at the gradually brightening sky outside. Hearing footsteps, she turned around and paused slightly when the sunlight fell on Li Ang.
She put down her teacup, walked up to Li Ang, looked up at him carefully, and after a moment, a hint of surprise and understanding appeared in her usually calm eyes.
"Li Ang," she said softly, her voice tinged with disbelief, "I—can no longer sense your level of mental power."
She paused, a smile appearing in her eyes, and said softly, "So—you advanced?"
Looking at the undisguised concern and pride in her eyes, Li Ang nodded and smiled, "Yes, mentor. I successfully broke through during meditation last night."
Eve took a step closer, then suddenly stood on tiptoe, reached out, and gently ruffled Li Ang's hair. This gesture was somewhat abrupt, carrying a hint of an elder's affection for an outstanding junior, yet also seemingly mixed with other more complex emotions.
"You—" She withdrew her hand, her tone a mix of sigh and reproach, but her face held an irrepressible, gentle smile, "In just over a year, you've gone from apprentice to a fourth-level wizard, the same level as me. What am I, your mentor, supposed to do?"
She spoke words that sounded like reproach, but in her light blue eyes there was only pure satisfaction and pride, and a faint sense of loss that she herself might not have noticed. It was because her disciple's growth rate far exceeded her own, and also because of the growing distance between mentor and apprentice that was about to widen.
Li Ang was deeply moved. He lowered his head slightly, looked at Eve, and said earnestly, "Mentor, no matter what level I reach or what position I hold in the future, you will always be my best mentor and my guide on the path of wizardry. This will never change."
Eve paused, her fair cheeks flushing slightly. She turned her head away and whispered, "—Just saying nice things—." But the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her true feelings.
She turned and went back to her room, and a moment later came out carrying a square cloth bag carefully wrapped in dark blue velvet.
Li Ang's heart skipped a beat, and he had already guessed what was inside.
Eve walked up to him, untied the ropes, and unfolded the velvet cloth. Inside was indeed a brand-new black wizard's robe, neatly folded, made of fine materials, and exquisitely crafted. The robe was made of the finest dark-patterned silk, with silver Lyrita emblems embroidered on the collar and cuffs, understated yet elegant.
