Sunders frowned. "But the Mero Scorpion Flower can improve blood circulation and nourish the body. That's an unconventional choice."
Ness quickly nodded. "Yes, that's right! It's just a little aphrodisiac. As long as it works, it's fine. "
"There are many ways to improve blood circulation. You can use aphrodisiac to do it." Angor did not deny it. "Well, I guess it's not impossible."
Ness: "That's it."
"But there's one thing I don't understand. The Mero Scorpion Flower is very expensive. It's a rare magic material. Yes, it can improve blood circulation, but its aphrodisiac effect also causes serious side effects. If that's the case, why don't you choose the cheaper Blood Orchid? It can improve blood circulation without any side effects, "said Angor.
Sunders agreed with Angor's suggestion, which was rare. It was too empirical for him to judge from his own point of view. The Mero Scorpion Flower was six times more expensive than the Blood Orchid. It might seem like a big difference, but to Sunders, the difference was like a grain of sand. He didn't care about the price difference between the two, so he didn't think about it when he saw it.
Now that Angor mentioned it, he realized something. As a level-2 wizard, Sunders had many ways to earn magic crystals. One or six magic crystals did not make much of a difference to him. However, for someone like Ness, who often bought beautiful slaves from other planes, he was definitely a stingy man. He would never use expensive ones if he could get cheap ones.
"Why?" Sunders looked at Ness.
Ness wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead.
"Why not Blood Orchid?" Ness quickly came up with an idea. He gave Sunders a perverted look. "You saw it, Sunders. I have a lot of beautiful slaves. Hehe. Mero Scorpion Flower is a common magic material, and I have a lot of stock. I don't have any Blood Orchid here, so I'll just replace it with Mero Scorpion Flower. "
Nessie's words were not without reason. However, Sunders already noticed Ness' lack of confidence. There must be something wrong with it, so he did not believe Ness' words at all and only treated it as an excuse.
Sunders had already given Ness a death sentence for using the Mero Scorpion Flower, but he did not show it on his face. "Ness is right. Do you have any other questions?"
"I've never studied Apothecary before. But I think I've read about Mero Scorpion Flowers being used by the natives of Abyss Plane as a catalyst for some kind of chemical reaction."
He read about it in the alchemy books he recorded in the Nightmare Realm, but he didn't want to arouse suspicion.
Ness stared at Angor in disbelief. How could an apprentice who had just joined the wizarding world for half a year know something like this?!
"Catalyst mixer?" Sunders recalled something and went into a brief recollection.
"I once saw something similar when I was traveling in Abyss Plane. An alchemist from Floating Mech City used Mero Scorpion Flowers as a catalyst to combine them with several other Abyss Magic Plants." Sunders paused for a moment.
"We were camping at the same campsite. I was standing guard outside while the alchemist was making a potion. I remember a Bloodline Wizard quietly approached the alchemist and asked him if he was going to use Mero Scorpion Flowers to do something to another wizard. The alchemist's answer was …"
Sunders closed his eyes and tried his best to recall what the alchemist said.
Angor's jaw dropped. You were standing guard outside, and you heard the conversation between a Bloodline Wizard and an alchemist? And you said it yourself. The Bloodline Wizard was whispering to the alchemist. How did you hear it?
Angor was surprised because he didn't know much about wizards.
Wizards usually had excellent memories. If they had a high spiritual power value, some of them could even reach the level of "hyperthymesia".
Hyperthymesia was an extremely rare disease that manifested itself in the brain's automatic memory system. All of the memories were carried out subconsciously. Thus, there was no need to deliberately memorize them to be able to remember everything that had happened in the past clearly, down to the minute details.
For example, a mother with hyperthymesia could still remember the situation in the delivery room when she gave birth many years ago when she was seventy or eighty years old. The doctor's sleeves were unbuttoned, the nurse's earrings were polished into thirty-six sections, the bird singing on the tree outside the window had light yellow feathers mixed with a few black lines, and the cloud outside the window looked like a pony … Other people could only remember the important parts in their memories, but patients with hyperthymesia could recall all the details that they had seen with their eyes.
However, hyperthymesia was a disease that caused the sufferer to lose his or her ability to forget things forever. Thus, he or she would be trapped by endless memories, and his or her brain would not be able to handle all of them.
Wizards, however, were different. They could reach the level of "hyperthymesia" without being burdened by their own memories. The nature of a wizard's memory was similar to that of a mortal's. However, spirit power developed the brain, which made the memory hippocampus more active.
Sunders didn't reach the level of "hyperthymesia", but his memory was still extraordinary.
On top of that, he was still young and interested in alchemy. Therefore, his attention was always on the alchemists. He was standing guard outside the camp at the time and did not hear the conversation between the alchemists and the bloodline adepts. However, he did see the frequency of their lips moving when they spoke.
In other words, Sunders was trying to recall the lips of an alchemist who went on an adventure in the Abyss Plane many years ago.
"The alchemist's answer was …" Sunders mimicked the alchemist's lips and said, "When the Mero Scorpion Flower reacts with the magic materials from the Abyss Plane, it first acts as a catalyst, not as an aphrodisiac."
Angor nodded in his mind as he listened to Sunders' explanation. That was exactly what Sunders described in the alchemy book he read. When the Mero Scorpion Flower reacted with magic materials not from the Abyss Plane, it would first act as an aphrodisiac. However, when it reacted with magic materials from the Abyss Plane, the catalyst would suppress the aphrodisiac effect.
Sunders glanced at Ness, who quickly averted his gaze.
"If the flower acts as an aphrodisiac, then it can speed up blood circulation. Combined with the other magic materials in the nutrient solution, it can also nourish the body. Although, the side effects will make me feel awkward."
"However, if the effect of the Mero Scorpion Flower is' catalytic synthesis', it will have a different effect when combined with the thirteen magical materials I mentioned earlier."
"Excessive blood flow, excessive secretion of male pheromones, and imbalance of the body."
"And death," Angor added in a low voice.
To put it simply, if the man couldn't vent his lust, he might even die.
Most of the main characters in the novels Angor read back on Earth were forced to take an aphrodisiac. It was an enhanced version of the aphrodisiac that could kill a man if he didn't vent his lust. However, when the main characters were "forced" to take the aphrodisiac, they were surrounded by beautiful women. Unlike Sunders, Angor was surrounded by only men. The only female living being around him was cut in half by Saka's sword.
"Why are you doing this?" Sunders asked Ness with a blank expression. If the aphrodisiac was only an aphrodisiac, Angor would only be embarrassed for a short while. But if it was a catalyst, then that was really going too far.
Ness hesitated for a moment before he spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito's. "There are no other magic materials in the nutrient solution, right? It won't act like a catalyst."
Angor was about to point out the location of the "other magic material" when he heard Sunders' chuckle.
Sunders channeled mana into his palm, and a strong gust of wind swept across the entire cavern.
When the wind stopped, an ice ball appeared in Sunders' hand. The ice ball was hollow and contained a pink gas inside.
"So this is another magic material. Now, can you tell me why you did this?"
The ice sphere contained a strange gas called "Fragrance of Enchantment", which was the same aroma released by the Abyss Succubus from earlier. Fragrance of Enchantment was popular among female wizards. It was a very popular pheromone scent.
Since Fragrance of Enchantment always existed in the air of the cavern, any Mero Scorpion Flower used to create the nutrient solution would come into contact with it.
When Ness saw the gas inside the ice sphere, his expression changed. "Shit, I'm busted!"
Sanders looked at Dennis with a "please begin your performance" expression.
Ness sighed. "I'm not going to hurt Angor in front of you. I just want to do a little experiment."
"What experiment?"
Ness shrugged. "Most of what you said was correct. But a small part of it is wrong. The combination of Fragrance of Enchantment and Mero Scorpion Flower, as well as the other materials Angor mentioned, will result in an increase in pheromone. But it's not the male pheromone you mentioned. The Fragrance of Enchantment comes from a succubus. Succubus is a manifestation of extreme female pheromone, while Mero Scorpion Flower is a manifestation of male pheromone. So the final result is that both pheromones will increase. "
Angor frowned. "Both sexes increased? Then I'll die even faster! "
Angor's body was too weak to handle the simultaneous increase of two pheromones. He would die at any time.
"It'll be fine. It's just a small experiment." Ness quickly took out a pointy bottle containing a pink liquid from his storage bag.
"Just inject this into Angor's body and he'll be fine. And he'll benefit from it too! "Ness pointed at the bottle.
Sunders took the bottle and carefully sensed its contents. When he saw the result, his expression became a little strange.
"Professor?" Angor asked in a small voice.
"Nice's right. You'll be fine. And it'll do you good …"
Before Sunders could finish, Ness jumped in and said, "See? I told you, it'll be fine. And I'll give you a great benefit for free. If Saka didn't refuse, I wouldn't give it to an outsider. "
Sunders chuckled. "Because Saka didn't want to, and you wanted to test the effect of the Fragrance of Enchantment … So you decided to beat him at his own game. Angor will have to inject this to slow down the increase of his pheromones."
Sunders shook the pinkish liquid inside the bottle. "You've got a good plan."
Sunders' words revealed almost all of Nessie's plans. As a matter of fact, before Sunders and Angor arrived, Ness had been trying to get Saka to inject the potion with all kinds of words. But Saka refused every time. He even used Sunders and Angor as an excuse to wait outside the cave, saying that he needed to greet some important guests.
Ness chuckled. "I'm working on a research project about sex, and I'm in urgent need of the data. Saka didn't want to cooperate, and the potion in the bottle is extremely valuable. I don't want to give it to someone else. You came at the right time. We're good friends, so giving it to your student won't be a waste. "
Sunders chuckled and ignored Ness' nonsense. He turned to Angor and asked, "Do you want it?"
Angor listened to their conversation with a puzzled look. He still had no idea what was inside the bottle.
"What's inside, professor?"
Ness cleared his throat. "You're just a kid. You don't need to know so much. It's good stuff. If you put it in an auction, you'll need at least ten thousand magic crystals to get it."
Angor looked at Sunders with even more suspicion.
Sunders didn't disappoint. He spoke in a hoarse voice with a hint of a smile.
"This … contains the bloodline essence of a succubus."
