Chapter 829 - 757: Assessment News
Duke continues checking the material status, a necessary task before beginning the refining of Magic Potions.
Moonlight Moss Essence, a thick green liquid extracted from Moonlight Moss, promotes the absorption of the potion’s effects while providing gentle energy replenishment.
Silver Moon Herb powder, finely ground leaves of Silver Moon Herb, light green, used as a base.
Luminous Ore Solution, a silver-white liquid obtained by dissolving Luminous Ore, functions to neutralize energy conflicts among different materials, facilitating better fusion of components.
...
After finishing the material inspection, Duke takes a deep breath and starts refining.
The crucible heats up slowly; he first pours in Silver Moon Herb powder, adding a small amount of purified water to make a paste.
He has done this step countless times; his technique is adept, the paste evenly smooth without any lumps.
Then he adds Moonlight Moss Essence.
The moment the green liquid is poured into the crucible, it mixes with the Silver Moon Herb paste, the color turning dark green, exuding a cool and refreshing herbal fragrance.
Duke gently stirs with a glass rod, simultaneously sensing the internal energy changes with his Spiritual Power.
The energies of the two materials are gentle and meld smoothly.
He nods slightly and adds the Luminous Ore Solution.
Silver-white liquid enters the pot, the surface of the dark green mixture flickers with tiny silver points of light.
Those points of light slowly circulate in the liquid, resembling miniature galaxies.
Virtues of Luminous Ore begin to show, the previously somewhat muted energy fluctuations become lively, starting to actively spread outward.
He reduces the fire, keeping the crucible at a constant temperature.
Next comes the most critical step—processing the Kudzu Root.
He picks up the dark brown root with a small knife, gently scraping off the rough outer skin to reveal the pale yellow core.
The core is brittle, a soft squeeze turns it into fine powder.
He collects the powder in a glass dish, about a spoonful in amount.
Then, he pours the powder into the crucible.
Instantly, the liquid in the crucible boils violently.
Those silver light points frantically dance, Kudzu powder releases intense energy waves, crashing through the liquid, attempting to break the confinement of other materials.
Duke senses clearly with his Spiritual Power, the frequency of those energy waves is exceedingly high, very active, if left unchecked, will soon turn the entire crucible into a ruinous mess.
He holds Calm Mind Flower Essence in his left hand, a glass rod in his right, executing swiftly.
The moment Calm Mind Flower Essence enters the crucible, a cool refreshing aura spreads.
Those aggressive energy waves seem hit with a bucket of cold water, visibly calming down.
Duke takes the opportunity to rapidly stir with the glass rod, simultaneously infusing his Spiritual Power into the crucible, guiding the energy to follow a fixed trajectory.
One circle, two circles, three circles, the wild energy begins to become orderly, no longer chaotically charging but slowly rotating along the stirring direction.
The liquid in the crucible slowly transitions from dark green to a warm pale gold color, tiny patterns emerging on the surface, resembling plant roots, or perhaps blood vessel lines.
Duke knows this indicates the energy of Kudzu Root is melding with other materials.
He continues stirring, continues guiding, not daring to slacken for a moment.
Time slips by bit by bit.
Uncertain of how long has passed, the liquid in the crucible completely calms.
The pale gold liquid is clear and translucent, surface patterns vanished, replaced by a layer of gentle radiance.
A faint herbal scent wafts from the crucible, invigorating to smell.
Duke uses a dropper to take a sample, placing a drop on the Magic Testing Crystal Plate.
The crystal plate shines brilliantly, pure golden glow, stable, even, without any blemishes.
Once the liquid cools, he fetches several clean crystal bottles for cautious filling.
A total of six bottles, each about twenty milliliters.
Duke picks up a bottle, holding it against the light for inspection.
The liquid gently sways in the bottle, exuding a warm, pale golden luster.
[Kudzu Root Potion: LV1 (1/500)]
On the Skill Tree, a new branch has grown, signifying Duke’s successful refining of this potion.
He uncorks the bottle, downing the liquid in one swift gulp.
The taste slightly sweet, with a faint herbal fragrance, richer than White Mist Forest.
The liquid slides smoothly down his throat, transforming into gentle energy, slowly permeating into his Spiritual Sea.
Duke closes his eyes, entering a meditative state.
The energy spreads throughout the Spiritual Sea, akin to a thin film, covering the surface.
It does not provide additional Spiritual Power, but accelerates.
The otherwise slow circulating Spiritual Power becomes significantly faster under the catalyst effect of the film.
Each circulation absorbs, transforms, solidifies minute amounts of Spiritual Power.
Duke immerses in this accelerated meditation, feeling the gradual growth of his Spiritual Power.
The following one and a half months, his life remains extremely regular.
Every morning, taking Kudzu Root Potion once, entering deep meditation.
The potion’s effect lasts as long as he meditates.
Then enters the Light God Court, beginning to practice proficiency of Giant Divine Soldier.
One and a half months later.
[Kudzu Root Potion level increased, Spiritual Power +7.2]
[Giant Divine Soldier Summoning: Demon God Descent level increased, Spiritual Power +7.1]
Both skills upgraded to Level 2, bringing a total increase of 14.3 Spiritual Power.
[Spirit: 447.1]
The threshold for Level 3 Mage is 512 points, considering current progression, it doesn’t seem far off, the Spiritual Power growth from Level 2 skills is considerable.
Once the Giant Divine Soldier skill reached Level 2, Duke’s control over the summoned Demon God’s phantom noticeably strengthened.
