Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

In the underground laboratory at No. 7 Wisteria Lane, a faint earthy smell wafted in the air.

Ian stood before the alchemy platform, his gaze fixed on the three main materials before him.

The first item is a Tier 3 Earth King Blood Essence that has been deeply activated through [Original Blood Tracing].

Inside the crystal bottle, within the dark golden liquid, the phantom of the mountains was several times clearer than before.

At the edge of the illusory image, one can see pale golden veins pulsating slowly, like a sleeping heart.

The second item was a fist-sized, third-tier rock dragon core.

The core is dark yellow, with a surface covered with honeycomb-like pores, and inside flows a viscous energy like magma.

This is something that Adele obtained through family connections at a great cost.

The third item is a complete "flower of the earth's veins".

The petals are dark gold, layered upon layered, as if sculpted from solidified rock.

Deep within the flower's heart, tiny starlight shimmers, radiating pure earth energy.

There are also several auxiliary materials nearby: Thousand-Year Stone Heart Vine Marrow, Earth Vein Crystal Powder, Astral Silver Sand...

Each one exudes a rich energy fluctuation.

Ian took a deep breath, and the perception of the three rules flowed through his body like mercury.

A pale silver luster appeared deep within his pupils.

The miniature divine body of order unfolds, like a flowing armor, compressing the power of rules onto its surface.

"Let's begin."

Ian reached out and picked up the bottle of Earth King's Blood Essence, and the moment he uncorked it...

"boom!"

The air in the laboratory suddenly distorted.

The immense, untamed, and almost violent energy of the earth exploded from the bottle opening.

A dark golden mountain phantom burst forth from the bottle, instantly expanding to three meters in size.

Inside the phantom, one can see mountains, valleys, and networks of earth veins... like a moving 3D map, suspended in mid-air.

The oppressive aura emanating from the phantom made the air in the laboratory feel exceptionally solid.

The ground trembled, and the utensils on the alchemy table jingled.

Ian's eyes narrowed, and he pressed down with his left hand, activating the full power of the gravity rules!

An invisible gravitational field, like a giant net, enveloped the illusory mountain range.

Forcefully compress and stretch it to force it back into a liquid state.

But the phantom resisted fiercely.

It twisted and turned frantically, trying to break free from the gravitational field. Each struggle caused the gravitational field to fluctuate violently.

At the same time, the fragments of rules within the blood essence began to run rampant.

Those nascent forms of "mountain spirits," like startled beasts, rampaged through the liquid.

Each impact caused the temperature of the semen to spike dramatically.

From room temperature, it instantly jumped to 300, 500, 800 degrees Celsius...

Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the obsidian crucible on the alchemy table.

Ian's heart skipped a beat. "This is bad..."

The energy of the third-tier blood essence was more violent than he had anticipated.

If the temperature continues to rise, the runes on the inner wall of the crucible will disintegrate and then explode.

At that time, the blood essence inside will instantly vaporize, and the fragments of the rules will scatter and disintegrate.

Ian raised his right hand, and the time rule was activated!

The flow of time within a three-meter radius around him suddenly slowed down by five times.

The boiling blood essence in the crucible slowed down noticeably.

The speed at which bubbles burst, the frequency of energy collisions, the curve of temperature rise... all of these were forcibly "stretched out".

But this is only a temporary measure.

He needs to concentrate on making the potion, otherwise he will be distracted by maintaining the time slowdown.

"We must stabilize the hematospermia as soon as possible."

Ian channeled his mental energy downwards, maintaining gravitational suppression with his left hand and slowing down time with his right.

Meanwhile, the purification rules were operating wildly within the body.

Pale golden energy of order flowed into the blood essence like a gentle stream.

Soothe those runaway fragments of rules and guide them back to peace and order.

This process lasted a full ten minutes.

A torrent of powerful spiritual energy poured forth, and the blood essence finally began to stabilize.

The struggle of the mountain phantom gradually weakened, and it was compressed back into a liquid state little by little by the gravitational field.

The temperature gradually dropped from 800 degrees Celsius to 600, 400, 200...

It eventually stabilized at 180 degrees.

This is the key temperature for refining the [Earth Tyrant Elixir].

It is also the most suitable starting temperature for the third-tier bloodline potion in Ian's deduction.

"Phew... the first hurdle is over."

Ian let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued with the next steps without relaxing his mind.

He slowly poured the stabilized blood essence into the obsidian crucible, and then added the rock dragon heart core.

The moment the core comes into contact with blood and semen.

"Sizzle!"

The dark yellow core began to melt, turning into viscous liquid energy that seeped into the blood essence.

Two different sets of rules began to collide and merge.

The core of the rock dragon acts as a "stabilizer".

Its inherent "rock solidification" principle can enhance the structural stability of blood semen.

To prevent the rule fragments from going berserk again during subsequent refining.

But this fusion process is equally dangerous.

The conflict between the two rules caused the energy inside the crucible to boil again.

The temperature started to soar again, 180, 200, 230...

Ian's eyes were focused, and his hands were lightly placed above the crucible.

Mental energy, like the most precise probe, penetrates deep into the medicinal liquid.

Sensing every subtle change in the rules, every fluctuation in energy.

At the same time, the intensity of the gravitational field suppression and the rate of slowing down the flow of time are continuously fine-tuned.

Time passed by, second by second.

In the laboratory, the bubbling sound of boiling medicine echoed continuously.

Gaga stood upright beside him, staring intently at the crucible.

The little guy knew he shouldn't be disturbed right now, so he even breathed very softly.

Three hours later.

The core of the rock dragon completely melted and fused thoroughly with the blood essence.

The color of the liquid changed from dark gold to a deeper "earth amber".

The phantom of the mountains inside has an added layer of rock-like texture on its surface, like a natural carapace covering it.

"Next... is to deal with the Leyline Blossom."

Ian picked up the dark gold flower and twirled it between his fingertips.

Petals fell one by one and drifted into the crucible.

The moment the petals came into contact with the medicinal liquid, they melted, transforming into pure ley line energy.

Like sweet rain, it soothes and calms the violent medicinal properties.

The function of the flower of the earth vein is "harmony".

Its pure earth vein energy can alleviate the rejection reaction of the fragments of rules, making the medicine more gentle and easier for the human body to absorb.

After all the petals were added, the color of the liquid changed again, from earthy amber to a warm, dark gold liquid.

The illusory mountain range inside seemed to come alive, undulating slowly as if it were breathing.

"Finally... are the auxiliary materials."

Ian added the Thousand-Year Stone Heart Vine Essence, Earth Vein Crystal Powder, and Astral Silver Sand in sequence...

The addition of each auxiliary material makes the regular structure of the medicine more stable and complete.

Once all the ingredients were added, the solution had completely stabilized.

The color is fixed as a deep dark gold, and the phantom of the mountains inside slowly rises and falls.

"The final step... solidifying the rules."

Ian took a deep breath and placed his hands on either side of the crucible.

The divine body of order is operating at full power!

The forces of gravity, purification, and time—three rules—simultaneously surged into the medicinal liquid.

The rules of gravity outline the "skeleton," fixing the structure of the mountain's phantom image.

The purification rules are infused into the "flesh and blood" to maintain internal purity and order.

The time rule acts like a "heart," regulating the energy flow rate within the elixir and allowing the rule fragments to pulsate at the most stable frequency.

A full hour passed.

When Ian withdrew his hands, he felt a slight tingling sensation in his temples, indicating that he had consumed about a quarter of his mental energy.

"That's a terrifying amount of energy required. It would be almost impossible for a typical level three wizard to successfully refine it."

At that moment, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

"The Tier 3 Bloodline Potion... is finally complete!"

After the potion was formed, it was dark gold all over, with the phantom image of mountains floating inside.

Its surface shimmers with a subtle, regular sheen, like a sleeping mountain.

Ian took out a specially made crystal tube and carefully filled it with the medicine.

It feels heavy in your hand, like holding a real mountain.

He held up the crystal tube to the light, his eyes glazing over.

Under the light, the mountain shadows become clearer, as do the course of the river valleys and the distribution of the earth's vein network...

[Third-tier Bloodline Potion detected... Already acquired]

At the edge of the field of view, the panel data refreshes silently.

[Energy Rating: Elementary Third Tier]

[Rule Characteristics: Mountain Spirit (Prototype), Earth Bearing Capacity, Rock Solidification]

Ian stared at the line "Divine Body Compatibility," his eyes thoughtful.

"However... a third-tier bloodline potion has already reached the fourth-level threshold in terms of rules."

Without a neutralizing agent to neutralize it, it was forcibly taken...

There will be no injury, but the violent effects of the medicine will be expelled from the body by the divine body.

"No rush. The bloodline potion has been refined, and the neutralizing potion... can be studied slowly."

He carefully sealed the crystal tube and placed it in a constant temperature incubator.

Then he sat cross-legged in the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and began to regulate his breathing to recover.

"A third-tier bloodline potion... how should it be named?"

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed pride.

"How about calling it... Mountain Giant Potion?"

[Mountain Giant Potion: Control (6400/12800)]

Ian thought this name was more fitting.

Because after consuming it, one does not simply obtain the status of "Child of the Earth's Vein," but rather the higher-level bloodline of "Mountain Giant."

"With this, plus the third-tier neutralizing potion, this will be my true cash cow!"

three days later.

Ian began researching intermediate neutralizing agents, spreading two pieces of parchment on the lab table.

On the left is the recipe for [Moonlight Neutralizer], and on the right is the [Dream Potion] which has already been upgraded once.

It also has an additional special effect called "Spirit Refinement," which allows you to refine your mental power once more when you awaken your bloodline after taking the potion.

It's a very good special effect, but unfortunately, Ian is already a level three archmage, so the effect is minimal.

These two neutralizing agents represent two completely different approaches.

"Moonlight Neutralizer is 'suppression,' while Dream Potion is 'guidance.'"

Ian tried to combine the two, taking the best of both worlds.

Create a completely new neutralizer that can counteract the berserk effects of Tier 3 Bloodline Potions.

But... unsurprisingly, it failed.

The first fusion resulted in a drug reaction, causing the test tube to explode.

The second time, the energy imbalance caused the liquid to turn into a grayish-white residue.

The third time, the rules became chaotic, triggering a small-scale mental shockwave.

Ian was so shocked that he took three steps back, veins bulging on his forehead.

"I got too anxious... my mindset got out of control!"

Third-order neutralizers require more than just energy harmonization.

What's needed even more is... spiritual comfort.

The fragments of rules within the third-tier bloodline potion have already touched the soul level.

When consumed, the fragments of rules will resonate and merge with the soul.

If the soul is not resilient enough, or if the neutralizer cannot provide sufficient "soothing"...

At best, it causes mental breakdown; at worst, the soul is assimilated by fragments of the rules, turning into a mindless monster.

"We need a material... that can act directly on the soul."

Ian muttered to himself, his mind racing.

He remembered the Shadow World, where there was a special product... Ghost Orchid.

Growing in places where shadow energy is most concentrated, it can absorb fragments of souls and transform them into pure spiritual energy.

It is a top-grade material for refining high-level spiritual potions.

"If we could find the Ghost Orchid, we could extract its 'soul-soothing' component..."

Perhaps, we can overcome the bottleneck of neutralizing agents.

Ian looked up at Gaga on his shoulder.

The little guy was preening his feathers with his paws when he sensed his gaze and raised his little head.

"Ian, what's up?"

"Do you remember... anything else special in the Shadow World besides the Shadow Crystal veins?"

Gaga tilted its head and blinked its little eyes.

"There are many special places!" The little guy flew onto Ian's shoulder.

"About three hundred miles west of the mine, there is a shady swamp."

"There are lots of twisted trees and flowers there; you're sure to find what you're looking for."

Ian's eyes lit up; in places like this, shadow energy was abundant.

"There is a high probability that Ghost Orchid will appear."

"What kind of blue? I don't know, but there's definitely the kind you're talking about."

The cackling bird landed back on his shoulder, its expression joyful.

"Shall we go look for it? Let's go!"

Ian smiled, knowing it was very comfortable in the shadow world, like being at home.

"No rush, let me make some preparations. This time we still have to deal with the big guy from before."

His idea was to concoct some special potions.

It has a single function, but its effects are long-lasting, and it is specifically designed to deal with creatures from the Shadow Realm.

"The materials for the third-order neutralizer may come from the Shadow World."

Also... hunting down that Shadow Lord will also accumulate Tier 3 resources for Gaga.

Gaga's little eyes lit up instantly.

"Ian, I'll definitely do better this time!"

"I know, Gaga has always been very brave." Ian rubbed its little head.

"This time... once we're fully prepared, we'll definitely be able to take it down."

The little guy excitedly flapped its wings and flew around the lab a few times.

"Great! I can finally get my revenge! Last time it chased us, this time I'm going to peck its eyes out!"

Ian smiled as he watched its excited expression.

"Okay, once the potion is ready, we'll set off."

Gaga nodded vigorously and scratched the table with its little paws.

"My shadow-jumping distance has increased recently; I can now take you through the shadow world for forty minutes!"

"Oh? That makes me even more confident."

Ian stood up, walked to the alchemy table, and glanced at the various materials on the table.

In my mind, I began to plan the next steps.

Delve into the shadow world, search for the Ghost Orchid, hunt down the Shadow Lord, and accumulate resources for Gaga.

Incidentally... testing the limits of the Order God's body in the Shadow World.

Outside the window, the night was deep.

In the laboratory, the crystal lamps shone brightly once again.

"This time, I'm going to forge something different; maybe there will be an unexpected surprise..."
