Elven cultivators

Chapter 89 Multi-Child Elixir, Life-Generating Array

As dusk fell like a cascade of honey, it bathed the Silvermoon Forest in a warm amber hue.

The crowds at the training ground had dispersed, leaving only a few scattered figures still doing their final practice.

Roman and Eleanor walked out of the training ground gate side by side, heading towards the Tree of Eternity.

"Today's battle was truly exhilarating."

Roman stretched, his form-fitting hunting outfit outlining his graceful curves.

Eleanor glanced at her and sighed softly, "Your strength has improved so quickly."

She had broken through to the Silver rank earlier than Roman, but now Roman had caught up with her.

In her recent sparring sessions with Roman, she clearly felt that she was falling behind.

If things continue like this, it probably won't be long before Roman surpasses them.

This made her feel a sense of urgency.

Losing to Anton was one thing, but she didn't want to lose to Roman.

"It's all thanks to Anton." Roman grinned. "The breathing technique he gave me is amazing. After practicing it, my body gets stronger every day. Even I find it incredible."

As she spoke, she subconsciously touched her arm.

The Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Scripture is indeed ridiculously powerful.

In just seven or eight years of cultivation, she rose from the lower Silver rank to the middle Silver rank.

In the past, this would have been unthinkable.

According to Anton, she has now shifted her strength.

Once you break through to the second stage of power, you can be comparable to the Gold rank.

Unfortunately, all the magic power accumulated in his body has been absorbed and transformed, and has been integrated into his flesh and bones. The speed of tempering his body will slow down considerably from now on.

The cultivation of the Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Scripture requires constantly drawing energy from the outside world to temper the physical body.

Magic is just the initial "fuel," and once it's used up, it has to be replenished by external sources.

Thinking of this, Roman touched his stomach.

"The Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Scripture is powerful, but it makes you hungry too easily."

Since she began cultivating the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Scripture, her appetite has increased day by day.

The amount of various kinds of animal meat and blood that the tribe supplies to her every day is now an astonishing number.

In addition, Anton would also provide her with some nourishing medicines.

Only by combining these two elements can one sustain the cultivation of the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Scripture.

Eleanor smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Roman used to be a little glutton, but now he's become a bottomless pit.

The two walked for a while longer before stopping at a fork in the road.

"I'm going to find Anton to get the medicine. You can go back now." Roman waved to Eleanor.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Eleanor nodded.

The two then separated.

Roman turned onto another path and walked briskly toward Anton's residence.

Arriving at the treehouse, Roman knocked on the door. After hearing a "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

A strong medicinal aroma immediately wafted over, mixed with the fresh scent of herbs and trees, inexplicably invigorating the spirit and making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

"It smells so good." Roman twitched his nostrils. "Anton, are you making a potion?"

Anton, who had just come out of the alchemy room, smiled and said, "You have a pretty good nose."

"It's hard for me not to smell this." Roman pouted, then looked at Anton expectantly. "Is it a potion you're making for me?"

Upon hearing this, Anton's expression became somewhat subtle.

He smiled slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips: "This isn't something you should eat."

Roman looked puzzled: "Why?"

Anton smiled without saying a word, offering no explanation.

The pill being refined in the cauldron is a multi-fertility pill that he recently localized and improved.

As the name suggests, this is a fertility-enhancing elixir.

Since the last meeting, Anton has been thinking about ways to increase the clan's fertility rate.

After searching through the Great Dao Jade Slip, they found the Multi-Child Pill.

Duozidan (a traditional Chinese medicine) is inexpensive and easy to mass-produce, but further trials are needed before it can be widely adopted and promoted, which takes a relatively long time.

After all, fertility is not like treating an injury, which has immediate results; the observation period is at least in the years.

In addition, Anton also plans to set up a life-giving array in the settlement.

"The continuous cycle of creation is called change; it praises the transformative and nurturing power of heaven and earth."

As its name suggests, this formation has the effect of promoting fertility and nourishing life.

The Life-Generating Array is a very basic array, and it is not difficult to set up.

However, considering that it needs to cover the entire settlement, the scope is too wide, and the setup would definitely be very complicated and time-consuming.

Anton planned to use the Fountain of Life as the core of the array, saving the effort of crafting the array plate and reducing the difficulty of setting up the array.

To be honest, he had long coveted the Tree of Eternity and the Fountain of Life.

These two items, one belonging to the water element and the other to the wood element, both contain extremely rich energy and can serve as the core of a large-scale formation.

However, his current level of array formation skills is not high enough, and he cannot set up a large-scale array of that level for the time being.

Otherwise, if a "mountain-protecting formation" had been set up beforehand, the Molten Thorn Tribe would have had no chance of invading the Silvermoon Forest.

Seeing that Anton didn't answer, Roman didn't press him further; she was already used to Anton's mysterious behavior.

After walking around the room, Roman's gaze was quickly drawn to a roll of parchment spread out on the table.

That was a map.

To be precise, it is a detailed map of the Eldron Plains.

Silvermoon Forest, Thousand Rock Hills, Azure Harbor, Kreisor Dragon City... Familiar place names are marked on it, with precise locations and clear lines.

The edges of the map are densely marked with many symbols, like some kind of marker, encircling a large area of ​​the map.

"A map of the Eldron Plains?" Roman asked curiously, leaning closer to examine it. "Why are you looking at this?"

"I found a map in the Root Library that looked quite detailed, so I brought it back to study it."

Anton remained expressionless, casually rolled up the map, and spoke as if he were remarking on the nice weather.

In fact, this indicates the location of various military outposts along the Dragon Tooth Defense Line.

He found this thing by chance in the Roots Library and immediately treasured it.

Not long ago, he was worried about how to find out the locations of the military outposts along the Longya defense line, but he didn't expect to get results so quickly.

Anton guessed that the map was most likely drawn by the Second Elder.

After all, not long ago, the Second Elder had secretly crossed the Dragon Fang Defense Line and left the Eldron Plains.

The map meticulously marks all the mountain passes and key roads surrounding the Eldron Plains, as well as the location, troop size, and commander information of every military outpost along the Dragonfang Line.

With this map, Anton can accurately select targets for hunting.

However, there's no need for Roman to know about these things.

Roman didn't think much of it, casually said "oh," and looked away.

She's never been interested in these things; she'd rather eat more meat.

Anton put the map away and handed Roman a rather heavy box.

"This is this month's medication."

"Thanks." Roman took the box with a big smile.

Anton asked Roman some questions about cultivation, gave him a few instructions, and then waved his hand, saying, "I'm going to the Hall of Eternity. If you want to cultivate here, go to the meditation room."

He still needs to find the three elders to discuss the drug trials and the formation.

"Okay," Roman happily agreed.

There are too many people waiting to use the clan's spirit gathering room; there are too many monks and not enough porridge.

Although she is a Wind Whisperer and has special privileges, she cannot use the Spirit Gathering Room every day and can only come to Anton's place from time to time to use the Spirit Gathering Array.

The Eight Desolate Prison Scripture relies more on external medicine to temper the body, but it can also absorb the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, although the efficiency is lower. It's better to have something than nothing.

After leaving the treehouse, Andong headed towards the Hall of Eternal Repose.

When he arrived there, he found all three elders there. Anton went straight to the point and explained his purpose.

After hearing this, the three elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Does this thing really work?"

The Third Elder looked at the medicine that Anton had taken out, his expression somewhat hesitant.

It's not that I don't believe Anton's words, it's just that no one on the Dawn Continent has ever specifically developed a drug to promote fertility.

After all, races with short lifespans, such as humans, sea creatures, and orcs, don't have much need for this stuff.

For long-lived species like elves and dwarves, developing such a thing is extremely difficult, and its effects are not necessarily significant—a typical case of putting in a lot of effort for little reward.

In fact, if the Great Dao Jade Slip hadn't contained ready-made pill formulas and array diagrams, Anton wouldn't have bothered to study it.

It's too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"It's definitely useful." Anton was still confident in Duozidan, "but it's hard to say how effective it will be; we'll only know after the trial."

"Can we use lizardmen to test the medicine?" the Second Elder asked.

"I'm afraid that won't work," Anton shook his head.

Lizardmen are not immortal beings; they are intelligent beings completely different from elves. Data obtained from testing drugs on them is entirely worthless.

After a moment of contemplation, the elder made the final decision: "Recruit members of the clan who are willing to participate in the trial."

The Second Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a glance and both agreed to the decision.

Low birth rate has always been the biggest problem for the Silvermoon Clan, and they are willing to try anything that offers hope of improvement.

This concerns the future of the clan.

With the matter of the potion settled, Anton then proposed the idea of ​​setting up a life-giving array with the Fountain of Life as the array's core.

The three elders were taken aback, not expecting that Anton had even come up with a magic array to promote fertility.

Their actions are truly unpredictable.

But while they were surprised, they were also delighted and agreed to Anton's idea without hesitation.

Even if setting up the magic array consumes some of the Life Spring's energy, resulting in a reduction in the Life Spring's water production, these are acceptable costs as long as they can increase the birth rate.

Anton used the Fountain of Life as the core of the array in order to utilize its rich life energy and enhance the performance of the Life-Generating Array.

As for the energy to maintain the formation's operation, spirit stones can be used instead, reducing the consumption of the Fountain of Life's energy.

However, in this case, a batch of spirit stones must be accumulated before setting up the formation.

The gems I got from the Blazing Fire Merchant Guild can come in handy now.

Afterwards, Anton discussed the details with the three elders, and it was almost evening before he came out of the Hall of Eternity.

Looking at the rosy glow that filled the sky at the horizon, Anton breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkling.

"Now we can begin the hunt."
