Chapter 47, Jade Potion
Baoyu Potion is the culmination of Xia Mian's knowledge.
Among them are not only local alchemy, but also some psychic techniques learned from Fugate.
For example, it is the technology of making gene seeds, or the technology of essence extraction.
Xia Mian needs to extract the evolutionary potential and material of the dragon species through special technology, then adapt it to the human body through various materials, and turn it into the potential contained in the human body.
The human body no longer has limits in the conventional sense. This body contains the brain.
Moreover, the precious jade potion will also drive the body and soul to make them more closely connected. While the body has no limits, the limits of the soul will also be broken.
Of course, although there is no limit in theory, in fact, Baoyu Potion also has a limit. According to Xia Mian's theory, it can allow people to grow up to the level of an adult dragon lizard.
This is already quite impressive. The strength of an adult dragon lizard is LV50+.
Conventional exercise methods combined with hugely valuable secret medicines can stably cultivate LV20+ strong men. These strong men need some precious jade potions to break through their limits and become LV40+ strong men.
In fact, LV20+ to LV40 are already the elites of the Seven Kingdoms. Daozuma's warriors, Liyue's Qianyan Army, and Mondstadt's knights are basically at this level. Most are at LV35+. Fontaine's side is more abstract. Their power It is divided into two, namely the Law Enforcement Court and the Shadow Chasing Court.
Among them, the Law Enforcement Court is very weak. Most of these police officers are obviously LV20+ who have only exceeded the limit of the human body once, and most of them rely on firearms and mechanisms. Although the number of the Shadow Court is smaller, they are obviously more elite, with LV35+ and even LV40+. There are quite a few.
The Fools in Zhi Dong are better, most of them are at LV40+, and there are actually quite a few recruits at LV30+.
Therefore, Baoyu Potion's LV50+ is really quite strong, but going above and beyond depends on personal luck, and this level is no longer weak.
And Baoyu potion is not a potion that can only be taken once in a lifetime.
Depending on the nature of the collected dragon species, each potion made from the seven dragon species can be used once.
And since only a trace amount of the essence is used, you don't even need to kill the dragon. You just need to capture it and slowly extract it from the materials on its body.
Whether it is fallen scales, dragon blood, bones or anything else, they can all be extracted.
"Catch a young rock dragon lizard, and then catch a young deep sea dragon lizard." Fugate said to Linny. These two kinds of dragon lizards are the most common in Fontaine and can be encountered in the wild.
"Hmm~ So how much is the reward?" Linnie asked.
"How much is the official price of the Adventurers Association?" Fugate asked.
"It costs about 200,000 molas to capture a young rock dragon lizard alive, and about 300,000 molas for a young deep sea dragon lizard." Linnette reported the price in her emotionless voice.
"If it's a mission inside the Hearth House, it only costs 200,000 moras, so we can catch both of them," Linnette said.
"You are really rude." Fugate complained, "Are you so confident that I will catch him?"
"I caught it before when I was testing magic props, but then let it go." Linnette said
"Okay, I don't have much money if I do internal tasks."
Recently, I invested in a brewing factory with Charmian. It is highly mechanized and employs thirty ordinary workers, two mechanical engineers and a formal alchemist. Mora spent a lot of money, and it will take some time to get the funds back. time.
More than twenty of the thirty workers were from Hearth House, which solved a lot of their survival problems and gave them a formal identity.
But those two mechanical engineers spent real money.
On the contrary, the last alchemist didn't spend much money, because this guy also grew up in Heihe. He admired Master Nathan Rice's alchemy very much, and then he climbed up the pole.
There is no exclusive secret recipe required, only Fugate and Charmian can give some advice on alchemy.
He didn't have much work anyway, so he ended up with a few subsistence allowances and a chance to ask questions once a month.
The alchemist didn't suffer much either. Although he made less money on the surface, because the work was relatively easy, the work on the surface did not affect his ability to continue to make money in the black market of Gray River.
And because of the excellent initial guidance, his alchemy has improved greatly in a short period of time, and now he has also increased the price of his potions in the Gray River.
Although the increase is not much, every order has improved, so the total monthly income becomes very considerable.
Linni and Linnette went out to catch the dragon lizard, and the speed was unexpectedly fast. It only took three days to complete the task.
"Where we used to experiment with magic equipment, the young rock dragon lizards there did not migrate, so we caught it on the day we went out. As for this young deep sea dragon lizard, we found it after a little inquiry. These deep sea dragon lizards There are quite a few.”
"I don't attack people either, so I caught him with a little trickery."
"Yes." Fugate nodded and checked the two dragon lizards. "These two dragon lizards are okay and healthy. Next, I will issue a long-term task to raise these two little guys."
"As for how long to keep it? I don't know. At least it will have to wait until Xia Mian develops the potion."
"The mission reward is not Mora, but an alchemical potion. Hmm~ Charmian and I taught you the H-series potions (joy potions, veritaserums, emotional inhibitors, etc.) that you practiced during alchemy. Fugate discovered that his How about H series potions which are still very popular in Hearth House?"
So there are also candidates for raising pets.
Xia Mian's progress was very rapid. With the help of prophecy, it only took half a month to produce the No. 1 jade potion.
Then it took more than a month to conduct animal experiments. Of course, the No. 1 Baoyu Potion was not a perfect potion and had many areas for improvement.
When Huihe recruited human volunteers, the Baoyu potion had already reached its seventh generation. However, after drinking this seventh generation, serious adverse reactions occurred. Fortunately, Xia Mian did not die. He used his knowledge of alchemy and medicine to bring it back.
However, it also left the volunteer with quite serious sequelae. Although these sequelae cannot be seen now, when he gets old, they will explode and kill him. This is the limit of what Shamian can do.
"Only now do I realize how bold it was for Mentor Fugate to conduct experiments on himself." Charmian looked at Fugate with emotion.
"Hmm~ Then there is no choice." Fugate said, "The situation at that time was a race against time, and in the self-destruction state, I was able to suppress most of the sequelae. Of course, there are some sequelae that I cannot suppress."< br>
"Such as Alzheimer's disease or something like that," said Charmian.
Linny and Linnette, who came to help in the laboratory, were laughing crazily, and Arecino, who was watching secretly from the side, almost couldn't hold it back.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how to improve this potion. Your side effects are a bit too great, and it's also toxic." Fugate said.
"Hmm~ This requires adding some toxin-neutralizing ingredients without affecting the efficacy of the medicine. By the way, the sustained-release agent also needs to be improved." Xia Mian quickly knew in what direction he should improve.
Another half month has passed. The Baoyu Potion has reached its twelfth generation, and Fugate and the others have finally recruited another volunteer from Gray River.
Compared with the previous volunteer who was very skinny, this volunteer is much stronger, but unfortunately he is missing a leg.
After asking, I found out that this guy used to be part of a gang in the Gray River, and he was still a small leader. As a result, his leg was broken. Originally, the family could survive with him as a burden, but in the first paragraph When a family member got sick and needed money urgently, he went to Heihe to try his luck.
I happened to see Fugate and the others recruiting volunteers to test the medicine, so I came over to give it a try.
The sequelae and side effects of taking the Baoyu potion on this guy were obviously much smaller than the sequelae and side effects of the previous volunteer.
And it can be clearly felt that this guy's body is more vigorous and his vitality is more energetic.
Even the soul is improving at an extremely slow speed.
"Oh~ it was successful." Fugate touched his chin and said, "It's so smooth that it's incredible."
"There are still many areas that need to be optimized." Xia Mian said, "At least these side effects and sequelae need to be solved urgently."
"Don't worry too much about this." Fugate smiled, "As long as it's useful."
"Although scholars may not like the Baoyu Potion, there is no problem in attracting investment from officials such as Zhidong, Liyue, and Mondstadt." Fugate said with a smile.
"Leave this matter to Arecino. Your reputation should be able to solve most of the problems." Fugate looked at Arecino and said.
Every time the potion was being tested, Arecino would peek in and watch.
"There is no problem in leaving this to me." Arecino nodded and said, "I know which forces are very eager for this potion." "You will receive a large amount of research funds in a while."
Sure enough, half a month later, the North Country Bank under the [Rich Man] allocated about 2 billion mola to [Hearth House] for the improvement research of jade potions, and also allocated 500 million to [Hearth House]. Mora is used to improve economic conditions.
But the price is to take away the incomplete jade potion formula.
It lacks a lot of details on the use of psychic energy, as well as the direction of subsequent improvements. As for the most critical essence extraction, there is actually a shortcut for this, and you can use a magic circle to extract it.
However, the essence extracted in this way is inevitably a little mixed, and it is not as pure as the essence extracted directly using psychic witchcraft.
This should be what the [Doctor] wants. The [Rich Man] has always been in cahoots with the [Doctor].
"Is research so profitable?" Arecino was very surprised by this.
"We are also very aggressive in spending money. We are used to being poor, so we always conduct a lot of theoretical calculations before conducting experiments." Fugate said while picking up the black tea that Arlecino brewed for himself.
Fugate, who has earned a lot of research funds, is so arrogant that his beautiful boss personally makes tea for him.
"Generally speaking, we will first conduct animal experiments with trace amounts of pharmaceuticals, and then conduct human experiments."
"Like the doctor's arrogant approach... To be honest, we don't envy it, because it will produce a lot of waste of resources and also have great instability factors. Sooner or later, that kid Zendic will be defeated one day. .”
"Of course, [Doctor] just doesn't care about this. [Doctor] can no longer even be regarded as a separate individual and human being." Fugate concluded.
"?" Arecino was a little curious about [Doctor]'s situation, but she had no intention of asking [Doctor] Fugate for information.
After all, although Arecino had a certain amount of trust in Fugate, his trust was not complete, especially when it came to [Doctor].
Because Fugate was found by [Doctor] and invited to join the Fools.
······
"Master Nathan Rice, this is the order for this time."
"? Don't you have any more difficult alchemy potions?" Fugate asked with a frown.
"No more for the time being." The middleman said, "The Gray River has been relatively peaceful recently. There have been no major conflicts, and the same goes for those guys at the top."
"But if you are interested in some rare prescriptions, I can introduce you to an organization."
"This organization has many rare prescriptions, and you don't have to worry about this organization being bad for you. The organization's behavior is quite decent."
"Tell me about it." Fugate asked curiously.
"Have you ever heard of Shadowhunters?"
"Oh? That organization similar to a club? It actually still exists." Fugate was very interested in this.
"Because those guys often offend some nobles and the like, many Shadow Chasers will replenish supplies and weapons in Gray River." The middleman said, "I also occasionally learned the identities of two or three Shadow Chasers."
"You are generous and you are a master of alchemy. They will definitely welcome you."
"If you are interested in the medicine formula they have, then I will leave them a message."
"I'm very interested in their potion formulas." Fugate said with a smile, "I hope to see those Shadow Chasers with potion formulas in the next transaction."
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get in touch." The middleman assured, patting his chest.
"I hope so."
With that said, Fugate casually took a few potions and left.
When Fugate was about to leave Gray River, he suddenly discovered several people.
It seems to be the president of the Rose of Thorns Society named Kares, and his servants.
Kares also saw Fugate at this time, and suddenly he was stunned, and then broke out in cold sweat.
But Fugate ignored those people and left directly.
"Kares, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Kares wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "The manpower that will follow us to Baisong Town to reorganize the Rose of Thorns Society is ready. Myles, take Navia with you. I'm afraid we will have to go to Baisong Town for a long time." Lived in Baisong Town”
"Okay, Mr. Carrese," Myles said.
"I will explain clearly later, let's leave now." Kales said.
When Fugate returned to the Gray River black market, Shamian was already experimenting with the fourth volunteer on the twenty-seventh version of the precious jade potion.
The third and subsequent volunteers were basically out of the question for the people from Gray River. Some of the Fools subordinate to Arecino, as well as some adult instructors from Hearth House, volunteered to serve as volunteers.
In the eyes of these people, the power brought by Baoyu Potion is enough for them to ignore some of the side effects and sequelae it brings.
After all, they had seen many of [Doctor's] cruel experiments with low success rates. After seeing Xia Mian's experiments, they felt that the success rate was a bit high.
It is very worth a try, and what is very worthy of their attention is that Fugate and Charmian, who are responsible for the experiment, are not like [Doctors] who will ignore them once the experiment fails.
After the experiment is completed, Fugate and Charmian will do their best to save them and reduce the sequelae.
[Doctor] There is no such treatment there. Generally speaking, they are taken directly for testing.
"Are you the so-called [Shadow Hunters]?" Fugate looked at the two ordinary people curiously.
They are indeed very ordinary. Apart from the commendable will and spirituality, these two are really average in terms of pure force.
"Yes, I am Ernst, the shadow hunter, and this is Cassian, the shadow hunter." Ernst said, "I am the archer, and Cassian is the pharmacist."
"Because our identities were exposed, the two of us could only hide in the Gray River and provide assistance to some other companions."
"You should know what I need," Fugate said.
"Yes, this is a potion developed by our Shadow Hunters in the process of eliminating monsters. Although I dare not say that all of them are available, most of the potions are definitely recorded in this book." Pharmacist Cassian said .
"Recently, some shadow hunters have been seriously injured while hunting monsters, and have also suffered severe pollution from demonic energy."
"What we want to ask you to refine is the highest level [Elixir of Justice], and as reward is this "Shadow Chasing Elixir Encyclopedia"."
Fugate took the thick "Shadow Chasing Potion Encyclopedia" and started reading it under the dim light.
Most of the potions recorded in it may not be profound, but there are many wonderful ideas.
And it’s not that there are no profound ones, some even involve mysterious will, which is a symbol of the [gold] level alchemy. This potion is exactly the [justice potion], which requires the alchemy of will to complete the structure of the overhead matter. Complete the synthesis of the potion.
There are also capable people among the shadow hunters.
"I've taken this job, how much [Justice Potion] do you need?" Fugate asked.
"Uh~ How about five bottles." Pharmacist Cassian said hesitantly.
"No problem." Fugate nodded, "When do you want it?"
"The faster the better," said archer Ernst.
ps: I didn’t find out about Clementine’s problem until later, and it should be similar to Mellors.
