The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 47, Gem Potion

The Baoyu Pharmacy is the culmination of Xia Mian's knowledge.

It not only includes local alchemy, but also some psychic techniques learned from Fuget.

For example, the technology for making genetic seeds and the technology for extracting essence.

Xia Mian needs to extract the evolutionary potential and substances of the dragon species through special technology, and then make it adapt to the human body through various materials, and transform it into the potential contained in the human body.

The human body no longer has limits in the conventional sense, as this body includes the brain.

Moreover, the precious jade potion will also promote the connection between the body and the soul, making them more closely connected. While the physical body has no limits, the limits of the soul will also be broken.

Of course, although there is no limit in theory, the gem potion also has its limits in reality. According to Xia Mian's theory, it can at most allow a person to grow to the level of an adult dragon lizard.

This is already quite amazing, the strength of an adult dragon lizard is at LV50+.

Only conventional training methods combined with valuable secret medicines can stably cultivate LV20+ strongmen. These strongmen need some precious jade potions to break through their limits and become LV40+ strongmen.

In fact, LV20+ to LV40 are already the elite of the Seven Kingdoms. The warriors of Inazuma, the Thousand Winds Army of Liyue, and the knights of Mondstadt are basically at this level, and most of them are at LV35+. Fontaine's side is more abstract, and their forces are divided into two, namely the Court of Law and the Court of Shadows.

Among them, the Law Enforcement Court is very weak. Most of these police officers are obviously LV20+, which is a breakthrough of the human limit once, and most of them rely on guns and machines. Although the Shadow Chasing Court has fewer people, they are obviously more elite, and there are many LV35+, or even LV40+.

The Fatui in Winter are better, most of them are LV40+, and there are actually quite a few LV30+ recruits.

So the LV50+ of the Gem Potion is really powerful, but going above that depends on one’s luck, and this level is already not weak.

And the precious jade potion is not a potion that can only be taken once in a lifetime.

Depending on the essence collected, each potion made from the seven elements of dragon seeds can be used once.

And since only a tiny amount of the essence was used, there was no need to kill the dragon. All that was needed was to catch it and slowly extract the materials from its body.

Whether it is shed scales, dragon blood, bones or anything else, it can be extracted.

"Catch a young rock dragon lizard and a young deep-sea dragon lizard." Fugate said to Linny. These two types of dragon lizards are the most common in Fontaine and can be found in the wild.

"Hmm~So how much is the reward?" Linnie asked.

"What's the official price of the Adventurer's Guild?" asked Fuget.

"It will cost about 200,000 Moras to capture a young rock dragon lizard alive, and about 300,000 Moras for a young deep-sea dragon lizard." Linnet quoted the price in her emotionless voice.

"If it's a mission inside Hearth House, it only costs 200,000 Mora, so we can capture both of them." Linnet said.

"You are really rude." Fuget complained, "Are you so confident that you can catch him?"

"I caught it when I was testing magic props before, but I let it go later." Linnet said
"Okay, let's go with the internal mission. I don't have much money."

Recently, he and Xia Mian invested in a beverage factory. It has a high degree of mechanization 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 recover the funds.

More than twenty of the thirty workers were from the Hearth House, which helped solve many 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 Black River, and had great respect for Master Nathanless's alchemy, and then he took advantage of the opportunity to climb up.

I don't ask for any exclusive secret recipe, I just want Fuget and Xiamian to give me some advice on alchemy.

He didn't have much work anyway, so in the end he only had a survival allowance and a chance to ask questions once a month.

This alchemist did not suffer a great loss. Although he earned less on the surface, because the work was relatively easy, the open work did not affect his ability to continue making money in the black market of Gray River.

Moreover, due to the outstanding effect of the initial guidance, his alchemy skills improved greatly in a short period of time. Now he has also increased the price of his potions in the Gray River.

Although the increase is not much, but every order has an increase, so the monthly income adds up to be very considerable.

Linny and Linnet went out to catch dragon lizards, and they were surprisingly fast, completing the task in just three days.

"The young rock dragon lizards in the place where we experimented with magic equipment 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 asking around. There are quite a lot of these deep-sea dragon lizards."

"It doesn't attack people, so it only takes a little trick to catch it."

"Yeah." Ferget nodded and checked the two dragon lizards. "These two dragon lizards are fine. They are both healthy. Next, I will issue another long-term task to raise these two little guys."

"As for how long to keep it alive? I don't know either. At least we have to keep it alive until Xia Mian develops the medicine."

"As for the mission reward, it's not Mora, but alchemical potion. Hmm~ How about the H series potions (joy potion, truth serum, emotion suppressant, etc.) that Xiamian and I used to practice alchemy when we were teaching you. Fugate found that his H series potions are still very popular in the Hearth House."

So there are options for keeping pets.

Xia Mian's progress was very rapid. With the help of the prophecy, he produced the first gem potion in just half a month.

Then more than a month was spent on animal experiments. Of course, the No. 1 Baoyu Potion was not a perfect medicine and there were many areas for improvement.

When Gray River recruited human volunteers, the precious jade potion had already been updated to the seventh generation. However, after drinking the seventh generation, people had serious adverse reactions. Fortunately, Xia Mian did not stand by and watch them die, but used his alchemy and medical knowledge to save them.

However, it also left the volunteer with quite serious sequelae. Although this sequelae cannot be seen now, it will directly erupt when he is old and take his life. This is the limit of what Xia Mian can do.

"I now understand how bold it was for Professor Fuget to use myself as an experimenter." Xiamian looked at Fuget with great emotion.

"Well, I had no choice." Fugate said, "At that time, we had to race against time, and I was able to suppress most of the sequelae in the self-destruction state. Of course, some of the sequelae could not be suppressed later."

"Like Alzheimer's or something like that," Xia Mian said.

Linny and Linnet, who came to the lab to help, were trying to hold back their laughter, and Alechino, who was secretly observing from the side, almost couldn't hold back his laughter either.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how to improve this medicine. The side effects are too severe, and it's also toxic." said Fugate.

"Well~ this requires adding some toxin neutralizing ingredients without affecting the efficacy of the medicine, and by the way, the sustained-release agent also needs to be improved." Xia Mian quickly knew in which direction he should make improvements.

Another half a month passed like this, and the Baoyu Potion had been updated to the twelfth generation. Fugate and his team finally recruited another volunteer in Gray River.

Compared to the previous volunteer who was skinny, this volunteer was much stronger, but unfortunately he was missing a leg.

Upon asking, I found out that this guy used to be a gang member in Huihe and was a small leader. As a result, he had his leg broken. Originally, his family could live with him as a burden, but some time ago, someone in his family fell ill and was in urgent need of money, so he went to Heihe to try his luck.

I happened to see Fugate and his team recruiting volunteers for drug trials, so I came over to give it a try.

The aftereffects this guy suffered after taking the precious jade potion were obviously much smaller than those and side effects on the previous volunteer.

And it can be clearly felt that this guy's body is more vigorous and his vitality is more vibrant.

Even the soul is improving at an extremely slow pace.

"Wow~ It worked." Fugate touched his chin and said, "It went so smoothly that it's unbelievable."

"There are still many areas that need to be optimized." Xia Mian said, "At least the side effects and sequelae need to be solved urgently."

"Don't worry about it." Fugate said with a smile, "As long as it's useful, it's fine."

"Although scholars may not like the gem potion, there will be no problem in going to official places such as Solstice, Liyue, and Mondstadt to attract investment." Fugate said with a smile.

"Let's leave this matter to Alecino. Your reputation should be able to solve most of the problems." Fugate said to Alecino.

Every time the potion was tested, Alechino would peek and watch.

"It's no problem to leave this to me." Alechino nodded and said, "I know which forces are very eager for this medicine." "You will receive a large amount of research funds in a while."

Sure enough, half a month later, the Northland Bank under the command of the [Rich Man] allocated about 2 billion Mora to the [House of Hearth] for the improvement research of gem medicine, and also allocated 500 million Mora to the [House of Hearth] to improve the economic situation.

But the price he paid was that he had to take away the incomplete formula of the precious jade potion.

It lacks a lot of details on the use of psychic energy, as well as the subsequent direction of improvement. As for the most critical essence extraction, there is actually a shortcut, which can be done by using magic circles.

However, the essence extracted in this way is inevitably mixed, and it is not as pure as the essence extracted directly by psychic witchcraft.

This should be what the [Doctor] wants. The [Rich] have always been in cahoots with the [Doctor].

"Is research so profitable?" Alechino was very surprised.

"We spend money like crazy. We are used to being poor, so we always do a lot of theoretical calculations before we carry out experiments." Fuget said as he picked up the black tea that Alechino made for him.

Fugate, who earned a lot of research funds, was so generous that his beautiful boss personally made tea for him.

"Generally speaking, we first conduct animal experiments using tiny amounts of drugs before conducting human trials."

"To be honest, we don't envy the doctor's arrogant behavior, because it will result in a huge waste of resources and will also cause great instability. Sooner or later, that kid Zandik will suffer a setback."

"Of course, the Doctor doesn't care about it at all. The Doctor can no longer even be considered an individual or a human being," concluded Fugate.

"?" Alechino was somewhat curious about the Doctor's situation, but she had no intention of asking for information from Fuget.

After all, although Arlecino had a certain level of trust in Fuget, his trust was not complete, especially when it came to [Doctor].

Because Fuget was found by the Doctor and invited to join the Fatui.

······
"Master Nathan Rice, this is the order this time."

"? Isn't there any more difficult alchemical potion?" Fuget asked with a frown.

"Not yet." The middleman said, "Gray River has been relatively peaceful recently, with no major conflicts. The same is true 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 it doing anything bad to you. The organization's style of doing things is quite decent."

"Tell me about it." Fugate asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard of the Shadowhunters?"

"Oh? That organization similar to a fan club? It still exists now." Fugate was very interested in this.

"Because those guys often offend some nobles, many Shadow Hunters will go to Gray River to replenish their supplies and weapons." The middleman said, "I also occasionally learned the identities of two or three Shadow Hunters."

"You are generous and a master alchemist. They will definitely welcome you."

"If you are interested in the potion formula they have, I will leave a letter for them."

"I'm very interested in their potion formulas." Fugate said with a smile, "I hope to meet those Shadow Hunters with potion formulas during the next transaction."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you contact them." The middleman patted his chest and assured.

"hope so."

With that, Fuget casually took a few potion tasks and left.

When Fugate was about to leave Gray River, he suddenly saw a few people.

It seems to be the leader of the Thorn Rose Society named Carles, and his servants.

At this time, Cares also saw Fugate, and suddenly he was stunned, and then cold sweat broke out.

However, Fuget ignored those people and left.

"Careth, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Carres wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "The people who will go with us to Baisong Town to reorganize the Thorn Rose Society are ready. Myles, take good care of Navia. I'm afraid we will have to live in Baisong Town for a long time."

"Okay, Mr. Cares," said Myles.

"I'll explain it clearly later. Now let's leave." said Cares.

When Fugate returned to the Gray River Black Market, Xia Mian was already experimenting with the 27th edition of the Gem Potion with the fourth volunteer.

The third and subsequent volunteers were basically no longer the people from Gray River. Some Fatui under Alechino and some adult instructors from Hearth House volunteered to serve as volunteers.

In the eyes of these people, the power brought by the precious jade potion is enough for them to ignore the minor side effects and sequelae.

After all, they had seen many of the Doctor's cruel experiments with low success rates, and when they saw 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 Fuget and Xiamian who are in charge of the experiment are not like the "Doctor" who will ignore them once the experiment fails.

After the experiment is completed, Fuget and Xiamian will do their best to save them and reduce the sequelae.

[Doctor] There is no such treatment there. Generally speaking, people are just taken there for testing directly.

"Are you the so-called [Shadow Hunters]?" Fuget looked at the two ordinary people curiously.

They are indeed very ordinary. Apart from their commendable willpower and spirituality, they are really average in terms of pure martial arts.

"Yes, I am Shadowhunter Ernst, and this is Shadowhunter Cassian." Ernst said, "I am the archer, and Cassian is the pharmacist."

"Because our identities have been exposed, we can only hide in the Gray River and provide assistance to some other companions."

"You should know what I need," said Fugate.

"Yes, this is the potion that our Shadowhunters developed in the process of eliminating monsters. Although I can't say that all of them are included, most of them are definitely recorded in this book." Pharmacist Cassian said.

"Recently, some Shadow Hunters have been seriously injured while hunting monsters, and have also suffered from severe demonic contamination."

"We would like you to refine the highest level of [Justice Potion], and as a reward, you will receive this "Shadow Chaser Potion Encyclopedia"."

Fugate took the thick "Shadow-Chasing Pharmacy Encyclopedia" and began to flip through it under the dim light.

Most of the medicines recorded in it may not be profound, but they are full of ingenuity.

And there are some advanced ones, some even involve mysterious will, which is the symbol of the [Golden] level alchemy. This potion is the [Justice Potion], which requires the use of will to complete the construction of imaginary matter and the synthesis of the potion.

There are also talented people among the Shadow Hunters.

"I'll take the job. How much [Justice Potion] do you need?" asked Fugate.

"Uh~ How about five bottles?" Pharmacist Cassian said hesitantly.

"No problem." Fergate nodded. "When do you want it?"

"The sooner the better." said the archer Ernst.

ps: I only discovered Clementine's problem later, it should be similar if I change it to Miles.
