Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 195 The Effects of Elixir

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the Academy Expeditionary Force left.

The days when Tai'an is not here.

Silvermoon lost her usual liveliness and smile, and spent all day asking Liadrin and the maids when Little Anne would come back.

Did he send back a message?

Really!

Taian sent Aglaia back through the vice principal with a message: "I could be back at any time! You are not allowed to get involved with anyone else."

Silver Moon said indignantly, "Xiao An is so domineering and narrow-minded."

Dorothy's expression remained calm as she looked down at her comic book: "Men are all like that..."

Leona was more worried about her sister Hathaway's safety: "Did he say when he could come back?"

Fu knew some inside information: "It shouldn't be too long. The academy's expeditionary force was only temporarily deployed for support and cannot be stationed there permanently. I heard that the academy has already released a group of people to return."

laboratory.

Liadrin is trying to concoct a magic potion.

It had rained last night. She asked two maids to go out and pick some calming flowers. Then, she bought the remaining materials. She tried to make the most of every second, but failed time and time again.

"We can only wait for the next rainy day!" Liadrin sighed helplessly.

If one can refine magic potions, cultivation will be more efficient. Moreover, it will better demonstrate one's value.

However, with no one to guide her, she had to rely entirely on her own exploration, often encountering setbacks. The greatest difficulty lay in the short shelf life of the Tranquilizing Flower, meaning she only had one or two opportunities after each rain.

"I'll definitely succeed next time!" Liadrin encouraged herself silently.

We went to the bedroom next to the laboratory.

After Tai'an left, Greenfield lived there every day as usual.

Liadrin routinely checked the incubation basket on the constant-temperature inscription array, lifting the covering towel. The throbbing of life at its very beginning grew clearer.

She had a vague premonition that it might be today.

Nearly ten thousand miles away in the southern border, Tai'an seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky. The deepening connection was far clearer and closer than any spiritual coordinate. The main body and the clone could achieve ultra-long-distance mental communication, synchronizing memories and scenes; the soul dimension disregarded the concept of distance. They could even establish connections across different dimensions: "Has everyone arrived?"

"Aglaia is still patrolling outside, she hasn't arrived yet..." Yulin, the follower, replied.

Before dispensing the elixir, it is necessary to test its toxicity.

Tai'an hadn't prepared any lab mice or anything like that. Relying on his good health, he took a small knife, scraped off some powder, and tasted it: "Hmm, the properties haven't changed, it shouldn't be poisonous!"

Gus and Yulin each received a small pill.

"I suggest you scrape off a little bit and eat it."

Taian wanted to remind him, but Gus had already swallowed it. It felt like swallowing a lead pellet or an iron bean, a high-density solid.

It slid down the throat into the stomach, where the surface of the pill began to decompose due to the erosion of stomach acid.

Gus frowned and clutched his stomach. His highly pure essence was surging wildly through his body, stimulating his blood circulation to accelerate, and causing a large amount of sweat to uncontrollably spill from his skin.

He leaped swiftly from the cave, disappearing into the dense forest. His body felt like a balloon about to burst, needing to release its power as quickly as possible. The burning, transparent flames surged several times over in a short time, far exceeding his previous limits.

The vital energy that takes years to accumulate fills the body in an instant.

A man's roar echoed through the mountains and forests. His surging battle aura resonated with the earth, and the transparent color gradually deepened until his face was no longer visible.

Gus' breakthrough shocked everyone.

No one could have imagined that a tiny candy be so effective!

"Musop, would you like to try one?" Tai An urged, with one eye closed.

"Young Master, is it vegetarian?" The panda-man scratched his ear in a silly manner.

"The life essence extracted from flesh and blood is not eaten directly." Tai'an forced the food into the butler's mouth.

Mussophie reluctantly swallowed it. The pandaren's stomachs are far superior to those of ordinary humans; historically, they were known as iron-eating beasts, capable of digesting iron bamboo with a hardness comparable to steel.

The butler kept smacking his lips, seemingly savoring the moment: "Hmm, not bad, very good... It feels like it's jumping inside my stomach? Hehe, how amazing!"

"I want to know how effective it is? Do I feel stronger?"

"You've gotten stronger! The increase in your Qi and blood is equivalent to many years of hard training, and your physical strength has also improved."

Mussofi attempted to leap across the steep slope near the cave entrance, and according to Tai'an's estimation, his speed increased by about 10%. While the progress seemed small, it was actually at the Transcendent stage, where any breakthrough was extremely difficult. A massive amount of resources was needed to reach the limits of his race's genes and take a half-step into the Sacred Realm.

Seeing that the two had not experienced any adverse effects from taking the pills and that their strength had improved to a certain extent, You Lin decisively chose to swallow them as well.

With each breath, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead. The brown-haired woman clutched her stomach, writhing on the ground in agony, unable to suppress muffled groans of pain.

The source eye shone brightly, allowing it to see through the outer skin to the actual internal situation. It's likely that the density of the elixir was too high, causing a stomach perforation.

Tai'an gently pressed his palm, glowing with healing magic, above the skin of the stomach.

Yu Lin stopped struggling, staring wide-eyed at Tai An's delicate face: "Young Master An, thank you."

"Okay, next time you need to take medicine, it's best to lie down at an angle."

Yu Lin hesitated for a moment, then finally gave a soft "hmm".

What she really wanted to say was that she felt very uncomfortable with how she was handling pain.

Minor injuries that are normally insignificant can feel as painful as being covered in wounds.

Pain is amplified at least several times, and so is pleasure.

Tai'an's ordinary action was like a spark thrown into hot oil.

Yulin, her expression strange, crossed her arms and rushed into the cave. The words the tormented girl had spoken during her whipping echoed in her mind: "Pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin..."

"Miss Yulin, are you alright?" The panda's sense of smell was far more sensitive than that of a human, and it noticed something unusual and subtle.

"I don't know." Tai'an's answer was irresponsible. Presumably, an elite-level physique would have better adaptability than Guts'.

Bruno returned with Taiya and received a pill.

In short, everyone in the family gets a share. Except for the Atayal people, who are physically weak and unsuitable for the food, Tai'an will not discriminate.

"Those hooligans are so annoying! They buzz around me like a swarm of flies I can't get rid of." Taiya complained as soon as she got back, skillfully lying on Taian's back to secure a good position, and taking a deep, blissful breath: "If only all boys were as cute as Taian."

"Taiya, you'd better tone it down a bit. Don't act like a crazy woman in public." Taian shrugged lightly.

"Xiao An, you've got guts, daring to flirt with even me..."
