Chapter 19: Beast Blood Demonic Pattern Ink
According to common knowledge, magic ink can only be made from plants, and other materials, even if available, are only auxiliary. It is precisely for this reason that making magic ink is considered the work of a pharmacist.

As for blood, it must never be used to make magic pattern ink.

The reason is simple. Putting the blood of other people or other creatures into the human body is a crazy act that has happened in history, and the consequences of doing so are very bad or even terrible in most cases.

Usually, only ambitious and unscrupulous black magic spellcasters like to do this.

So almost no one would consider using blood to make magic pattern ink.

But the blood elves considered it.

For this notorious and crazy race in Farallo's history, using animal blood to make magic ink is a very common operation.

They even tried the blood of intelligent races several times, but they soon realized that the blood of intelligent creatures was difficult to process and the effect was not as good as the blood of Warcraft, so they gave up.

Through long-term practice and research, as well as the physical excavation of ancient knowledge, and after sacrificing many volunteers who were not necessarily willing, the blood elves successfully solved the key problems in the production process of beast blood magic pattern ink.

It’s actually very simple.

If the blood of a certain animal enters the human body, the consequences will be serious.

However, it may be safe for the two kinds of animal blood to enter the human body together.

The blood elves discovered that by mixing the blood of two monsters with counteracting properties and adding a small amount of herbs, they could create high-quality transparent magic pattern ink.

The whole process is extremely simple to operate, requiring almost no knowledge or skills, saving time and effort.

The only problem was that the two beasts' bloodlines not only had to have matching attributes, but also had to be of the same level. For low-level beasts, the distinction between levels was somewhat vague, and could only be determined based on experience.

Fortunately, this problem does not apply to Gao Jianuo.

Possessing the ability of "cognitive" ability, he can accurately judge the grade of an object just by moving his fingers.

After watching "Blood Law Notes" for a few hours.

The next day, Gao Jianuo left the Grey Eagle Camp and went to the Hunter's Guild to shop.

Of all the professional guilds, the Hunter Guild is probably the one with the strongest presence. One of the main reasons for this is that many hunters entrust their hunting gains to the guild for sale, or simply set up stalls to sell them themselves.

The corpses of Warcraft have many uses, which makes the Hunter Guild's market area often very popular.

"Come and see, fresh level 4 earth-type giant horned deer. The crystal core can be sold separately!"

"A level two Fire Lion, with fifty pounds of flesh, a canine tooth, and a piece of skin left!"

"Level 1 water turtle, with crystal core fragments, only ten silver coins, hurry up and buy it!"

"Level 2 Wind Eagle Egg, hatchable, unidentified, 15 silver coins on sale!"

Due to limited demand, there weren't many stalls selling Warcraft blood. After searching for a while near the Hunter's Guild, Gao Jianuo finally found a seller.

"Is this the blood of a first-level fire bull?" he asked, pointing at the wooden barrel filled with blood.

"Yes, blood was just taken this morning. One pound and ten copper coins. Would you like some?" The seller said in a flat tone. "It can be used to make flux."

Gao Jianuo didn't say anything, but stretched out his finger and dipped it on the edge of the barrel, then pretended to put it in front of his eyes and twisted it twice, as if he was carefully observing something.

In fact, the moment he touched the blood, some information flooded into his perception.

[Item: Fire Bull Blood]

【Level: Level 2】

It’s actually level two.

Gao Jianuo raised his brow slightly. In a way, this was a small bargain, but it was meaningless. If it were other parts, reselling them might be profitable. But blood is ultimately of limited use, especially low-grade blood. The Norden people don't eat blood tofu, so it's completely unworthy of reselling.

"I'll come back and take a look later." He said and left.

This is the blood of a second-level fire monster.

In order to make beast blood magic pattern ink, he also needs the blood of a second-level water-type magic beast.

After that, Gao Jianuo wandered around here again and again, but he never found a seller selling water-type monster blood.

Just when he was about to give up, a hunter came from the east, carrying a dead, thick water snake on his shoulder.

The water snake had obviously died not long ago. Even though its head was stabbed through, its body was still twisting and occasionally wrapping around the hunter's arm.

Gao Jianuo's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward to ask.

He soon confirmed that it was a second-level water snake, which was exactly what he wanted.

Unfortunately, the other party wanted to sell the snake whole and was too lazy to extract the blood. After much persuasion, Gao Jianuo finally bought some snake blood at the high price of forty copper coins per pound.

Then he turned around and bought the blood of the second-level fire bull, making a total of two types of magical beast blood, one fire and one water.

With the monster blood, Gao Jianuo bought some herbs and then returned to his residence and began to make magic pattern ink according to the method in "Blood Magic Notes".

Mix equal amounts of the two monster bloods with opposite properties, add a little herbal soaked juice, stir well, and let it stand for a while.

After a while, the original scarlet color and pungent smell of the beast blood quickly faded away, and turned into a colorless and odorless transparent liquid, which looked exactly the same as the transparent magic pattern ink used by Marcus.

Become!

Gao Jianuo was a little excited.

However, to be on the safe side, he bought a rabbit and put the ink into its body through various methods, such as oral administration and application on wounds, to observe its reaction.

The poor rabbit suffered a lot, but it did not die and was gradually recovering.

The experiment is not very rigorous, but it can roughly verify that this ink will not cause any serious consequences.

He finds Marcus with the ink.

"You learned it so quickly?" Marcus was a little surprised.

Gao Jianuo only said: "I learned it from books, but I have never done it before. Now it seems that it is not difficult."

"Please check if the ink I made can be used." He handed over the glass bottle of ink.

Marcus said nothing. He took the ink and turned around to fiddle with it for a while. After a moment, he said, "The ink is fine, it can be used... and the quality seems to be better than the ink I used before!"

Then he came back a little excitedly and asked, "Are you using the basic formula I gave you?"

Gorgonzo: "Actually, this is a recipe I learned in a book, and I think it's better."

Marcus blurted out, "What book?"

Gao Jianuo smiled slightly and did not answer.

Marcus also realized that this question was inappropriate. No one would easily reveal their exclusive formula.

He coughed twice and said, "Okay, no matter what book it is, I will only use the ink you make from now on!"
