A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 59 Titan's Elixir
“Ms. Carter…” Tony was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Then he fell into deep thought.

Don't tell me yet.

Peggy Carter is indeed very suitable for this task.

As a retired founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., any move she makes is likely to attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D./Hydra.

And the keel undoubtedly plays a significant role for Carter, who is already in his eighties.

Back in England, Tony and Carter had a long talk about his father's death and Hydra's presence within S.H.I.E.L.D. (Let's not bring up the Captain America who traveled to the past anymore; I already wrote about it in chapter 43. The protagonist confirmed with the Ancient One that this timeline doesn't have a Captain America who traveled to the past.)
The video of Bucky killing the Howards, in particular, almost gave Carter a heart attack.

As a former member of the Howling Commandos, Carter knew Bucky all too well.

The fact that the other party was not dead and was turned into a human weapon was too exciting for the old lady—of course, Tony only showed the old lady the video of Howard's assassination and did not reveal the fact that the Winter Soldier had fallen into his hands.

It was through this experience that Carter realized the seriousness of the problems within S.H.I.E.L.D. – she had been aware of the disharmony within the agency before.

However, as before, she believed that it was simply the result of the officials' control.

So I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Moreover, she was getting old and really didn't have the energy to play mind games with the officials anymore.

So I chose to retire, out of sight, out of mind.

And because she retired earlier than Howard, she was unaware of the details of Howard's death.

But now that she knows, she certainly can no longer stand idly by.

Even if she doesn't intend to stand idly by, there's not much she can actually do in the short term.

The reason is quite simple: she has been retired for too long and has no reason to interfere too much in the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Another issue is that she is too old and doesn't have enough energy.

Therefore, she could only entrust this task to her niece, Sharon Carter, who had recently graduated from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy and was still a rookie agent, preparing to have her cooperate with Tony in the subsequent operations against Hydra.

This is also why Tony and Levi didn't rush to take action against Hydra.

But if Carter could get his hands on and use the keel, things would be different—look at the five old guys in the Hand and the Guild, they've all lived for hundreds of years and are still full of energy.

Once he regains his strength, Carter will be able to directly intervene in S.H.I.E.L.D. and help Tony and his team fight Hydra.

“But there’s obviously a problem here. We don’t know when the excavation of the dragon bones will be completed. Without the dragon bones regaining their vitality, even if Ms. Carter gets involved, her role will probably be very limited!” Tony said after thinking for a moment.

"Don't worry, the large dragon bones haven't been dug out, but that doesn't mean there aren't any other dragon bones—those old guys from the Hand and the Society definitely still have a few dragon bones, otherwise they couldn't wait more than ten years!" Li Wei said nonchalantly.

In shows like Daredevil and The Defenders, the Hand, who resurrects Erica, and others have all used the Dragon Bone.

At that time, the dragon bones had not yet been unearthed.

Therefore, at this time, the old-timers in the Hand and the Society must still have some dragon bones in stock. "Moreover, it doesn't necessarily require dragon bones to restore Ms. Carter's vitality in the short term!" Li Wei said, narrowing his eyes.

"What? Among all those weird foods you make, there's something that can restore youth and vitality?" Looking at Levi's expression, Tony was reminded of the incredibly delicious but strangely made foods he made, with even more bizarre effects.

“Food works well for ordinary people, but not so well for the elderly. But magic potions can… and they work very well, comparable to super soldier potions, and their effects are almost permanent,” Li Wei said with a smile.

"Why didn't you bring this out sooner if you had something this good?" Tony's eyes widened upon hearing this. The effects were comparable to the Super Soldier Serum? And the effects were almost permanent?

Does that mean if you drink it you'll turn into Captain America?
“It’s not that I didn’t want to take it out, but I hadn’t learned how to use it before, and I didn’t expect it to be this effective. Besides, it says that the materials required are extremely rare and precious,” Li Wei explained.

"Tell me what materials you need. As long as they're on Earth, I can get them for you!" Tony assured him, patting his chest.

“Underground orchids and Welwitschia mirabilis!” Li Wei said, referring to the materials. “The former is a protected plant in Australia, and the key is that it is difficult to find because it only lives underground. Welwitschia mirabilis is easier to find because it grows in the Namibian desert and is also a protected plant, but I need at least ten years of it.”

"Oh, and there's also the naked-breasted eel, a type of conger eel, also called a stone eel. This is a fairly common eel and easy to buy!"

What Li Wei wanted to do was create the top-tier potions from the vanilla era of World of Warcraft.

Titan Mixture.

Not long ago, after Li Wei's alchemy skill finally reached the maximum value of 300, a recipe finally appeared.

Of course, at the same time, there were also some other top-tier potions and elixirs from the vanilla era, as well as two potion recipes from version 70.

And to Li Wei's surprise, the descriptions of several herbal concoctions from the Vanilla Age clearly stated that the first use would have a permanent effect.

However, repeated use will only add up to 50% of the lasting effect, and it will only last for one day.

This alone was enough to make Li Weixin ecstatic.

Among these various elixirs, Titan's Elixir stands out as the most impressive.

Of course, this doesn't mean that other compound preparations are ineffective.

In fact, the effects of the other compound preparations are also very powerful.

Other super energy potions and refined wisdom potions, although their effects have changed and been modified compared to the game, still cannot change the fact that they are only for mages.

The application scenarios for multi-resistance compounds, just like in games, are quite limited and rather impractical.

The petrification potion works well, but perhaps because the skill Li Wei gained is a product of multiple versions fusion, it has changed from a potion to a potion from other versions. The only material needed is the stone eel—that is, the stone scale eel in the game. However, the effect is different from the permanent invincibility of the potion. Instead, it can absorb a certain amount of damage.

In contrast, Titan's Elixir has a much wider range of effects.

Its effect is not simply increasing health points as it is in the game.

Instead, it improves physical fitness.

Titan's Elixir: Drinking it will change your constitution and give you superhuman strength.
