Crow's poisonous chicken soup story was also very effective today.
Huai Shi shuddered after hearing it, and immediately scolded the shameless bastards of the Stoneforge Society.
"Do you think the Society is used to invite people to dinner, embroider, and write calligraphy?" Crow sneered. "Protecting the interests of the group to the greatest extent is the foundation of an organization. With such a huge profit in front of them, the Stoneforge Society even dared to split from the Pioneer Society.
Moreover, miracles are originally luxuries. If you don't pay the price for it, it will only lead to disaster … With the tragic consequences of the abuse of alchemy and the huge monopoly profits behind, anyone would choose the conservative option. "
"Then what's this other piece of paper?" Huai Shi took out a document from the bottom of the box. It looked like … a patent?
"A patent certificate in your name."
Crow said, "Haven't you been tinkering with that a few days ago? Metal explosives. I looked it up, but there was no relevant formula. After I bought this set of materials, I immediately registered one in your name.
After the cheat, if an alchemy workshop buys your patent, they can use it to produce products. It's a buyout system. It's about 400,000 at a time, and the Society takes a quarter. Although it's not much, no matter how small a mosquito's leg is, it's still meat. You can more or less earn some pocket money. "
This was a by-product of Huai Shi's improved knowledge of metals after he came back. The main body was made of unstable alloys such as magnesium, tin, and cesium. It was smelted into shape in one go, and then ignited with alchemy fire to create an explosive effect.
Although the effect was not very good, and it could only be used as a non-lethal weapon like a smoke bomb or a flash bomb, it could reach the power of a small fragmentation grenade if it was carefully made.
It could also make up for his lack of damage output.
Hearing that this thing could be sold for money, he was overjoyed. "Then I'm going to be rich?"
"What are you dreaming about?"
Crow looked at him as if he was an idiot. "How many formulas do you think there are? No less than a few hundred thousand! There are more than four thousand alchemy explosives that involve metal materials. It's more cost-effective than your formula.
Your advantage lies in the fact that it's entirely made of metal. It can be used to great effect in certain situations, and you can rub it with your hands at any time. But do you think everyone has the Alchemy Fire? Without the Alchemy Fire to ignite it on the spot, it would have to be made in advance, which would reduce its popularity.
Moreover, there are countless mature products on the market. How can there be room for a small workshop like ours to stir up trouble? "
Huai Shi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He immediately comforted himself, "After investing so much, there's finally hope of recovering the cost. It's fine as long as I can sell it and make a little profit."
After discarding his dream of getting rich overnight, Crow inquired about Huai Shi's progress. "How far have you progressed with the Silver Blood Potion?"
Huai Shi scratched his head. "According to your suggestion, we'll work on both ends. One will take five minutes and can be used as a small health potion. The other will only take about four seconds and can be used as an enhanced band-aid."
"Alright, this way, you'll have a healing skill."
Crow didn't ask for more.
Something like the Silver Blood Potion was enough. There was no need to invest more effort to specialize in it. If his alchemy level could be raised, then the effect would naturally rise.
Moreover, the most technical part of this thing wasn't the potion itself, but the patented solvent that prevented the Silver Blood Potion from solidifying after cooling.
Otherwise, the Silver Blood Potion would turn from liquid to solid after an hour of production. At that time, its original effect would be removed and it would even become a poison.
After all, not many people's stomachs were strong enough to digest metal.
As for the solvent that prevented solidification, each workshop had their own techniques and methods, and the price was higher than the other. If it was for personal use, there was no need to buy it at all.
"In short, it's fine. Many big bosses can't reach your level. For the time being, there's no need to invest any more time."
Crow spread his wings and motioned for him to follow him to the basement.
In the darkness, when he passed through the basement's corridor, he heard the faint sound of electric current. The old light bulb hanging above his head flickered.
But in the flickering of the light, Huai Shi found that his body began to fade.
When he deliberately entered the state of a ghost, he found that his body flashed and disappeared with the flickering of the light. In a dark place, his silhouette would melt into a dim gray fog, and under the dim light, it was difficult to feel his existence. It was like an illusion reflected by a projector in the dust.
Crow noticed the abnormality in his body and looked back. His eyes were slightly satisfied, "Very good, it seems that you've almost mastered the ghost."
"Should I prepare to advance?"
Huai Shi asked.
"No rush." Crow shook his head, "There are many ways to advance, but before that, I still need to make a choice … … To be honest, I'm still hesitating."
"What are you hesitating about?"
"A lot of hesitation. For example, the future, your life, and other trivial things." Crow landed on the table, "So I decided to wait and see. At least choose the most suitable one, right?"
"Just choose one that's not a trap."
Huai Shi waved his hand. He wanted to cry for the cat. He was really scared of being tricked by Crow.
"Don't worry, if the plan doesn't go wrong, you won't have to drive illegal cars in the future." Crow waved his wings and pointed at the silver cross spear on the table, "You can take that away."
Cross Spear – Compassion.
Huai Shi had awakened another type of Origin Substance weapon.
It was a rare long weapon. Even though he didn't know how to use it, it could still be used to stab people. And its effect … … was to let the person who was stabbed by Huai Shi feel the sorrow and pity in Huai Shi's heart.
It was as if he was saying, "I didn't have any other choice. I didn't stab you on purpose. Who told you to be so disobedient?"
Even though it sounded quite strange, it was only when one was actually stabbed by it that they realized how vicious its effects were.
Just like how the Axe of Wrath could cause a person's mind to be shaken, or how the Rope of Sorrow could cause a person to feel discouraged, the Spear of Compassion could cause an enemy's fighting spirit to crumble, causing them to think about what they were doing, whether or not everything they were doing had any meaning, and why they were doing it.
Even if they were stabbed to death, they wouldn't feel any hatred or unwillingness in their hearts. Instead, they would feel calm and peaceful.
It was basically the Spear of Salvation.
After Huai Shi had been stabbed, he had been in the state of a sage for a full hour. From then on, he no longer wanted to be Crow's test subject.
Of course, the most important thing was the Azure Crown Dragon's blood.
It was as if there was an endless flow of dragon blood. The faint trace of blood constantly dripped with sticky, poisonous blood. The Philosopher's Stone's unique properties gave it inconceivable miracles.
Wherever the blood dripped, a pure white iris flower would grow. After ten minutes, it would wither along with the dissipating blood.
If it danced, the whole practice field would become beautiful. Fragrant and pure petals would bloom in every corner, interweaving into a dazzling garden.
Just this sound and visual effect alone made Huai Shi want to give KP a hundred thousand likes.
But what made him even more satisfied was the effect of the dragon blood.
Decay.
The most terrifying thing about the Azure Crown Dragon was its breath of decay that could compare to time. Wherever the breath passed, all things would decay. This characteristic seemed to have been inherited by the dragon blood, and now it was attached to Huai Shi's spear.
This led to the fact that when stabbed, once the dragon blood on the spear entered the victim's body, the victim's energy would begin to decline rapidly. If the dosage was high enough, it would even cause a temporary aging effect.
Even if it wasn't tainted by the dragon blood, just being in this field of flowers and smelling its fragrance would cause one's energy to rapidly decline, causing dizziness and depression.
Simply put, Huai Shi would be able to enjoy beating up old people even more in the future.
But the most troublesome thing was that … … this poison was also effective on Huai Shi.
He had no way of avoiding it!
Thus, he could only ask Crow to study its properties and temporarily create an antidote. The result was the syringes on the table.
"Use one of the previous ones. It should last for about half an hour. Just use it carefully," Crow said casually. "Now, we need to start a physical examination."
It was still the same old routine. There were all sorts of common and uncommon methods, as well as blood tests and CT scans … Yes, CT scans. Crow had even bought a CT machine and placed it in the corner of the room. Every few days, she would call Huai Shi over to take a picture.
In any case, an Ascendant's physique was very long, so this level of radiation was nothing.
Actually, the main thing this time was to check if there were any side effects.
When they were on the ship, Huai Shi's Origin Substance and Van Helsing's Origin Substance had coexisted for too long. Generally speaking, this situation would cause Huai Shi's consciousness to be completely covered by Van Helsing, turning him into a walking corpse.
However, there was the artifact Book of Destiny, which carried all the memories of the first half of his life, ensuring his personality and soul's independence. Therefore, the only thing to worry about was that the contamination of the Origin Substance would cause slight changes to the body.
Fortunately, everything was under control.
It was just that Huai Shi wasn't used to it.
After being a Level 3 Ascendant for so long, and even acting as a fake Holy Light fighter, returning to his own body made him especially uncomfortable.
Especially since Van Helsing was one of the best among Level 3 Ascendants.
Now, Huai Shi even had to use all his strength to barely catch up to the foundation he had when he was Van Helsing, and sometimes he was far from it.
The lag in his nerve reflexes allowed him to get used to it, but it was still uncomfortable.
"It's done."
Crow raised his eyes from the results and pointed to the end of the basement, at the iron pile twenty meters away. "Let me see your current limit of speed and strength."
"I'll try."
Huai Shi moved his body slightly, and darkness covered his body. His whole body was shrouded in darkness, and the crack in his chest surged with spiraling light.
Feeling the majestic Dark Origin Substance in his body, he closed his eyes and exhaled the breath in his lungs.
In the next moment, a sinister bloody light burst out from his eyes.
A roar sounded.
