Bab 100: CH100
Helag dispersed the fire energy particles ten minutes later, extinguishing the flame.
He took out a pestle and ground the Dragon Tooth Grass in the beaker into powder, then precisely measured 10 grams of the powder with a scale and placed it in a test tube for later use.
For the next two hours, Helag processed the potion ingredients.
Once everything was prepared, he began the actual potion-making process.
Helag poured the Mist Treant sap into a reaction flask and infused it with magic until the sap started emitting white smoke.
The smoke initially appeared in thin wisps but soon erupted into a small mushroom cloud.
At this point, Helag quickly added the Hemlock juice and Mandrake sap.
The mushroom cloud turned purple and rapidly contracted back into the flask.
The previously pale yellow Mist Treant sap now turned grass green.
Helag then added the Dragon Tooth Grass powder and continued infusing magic.
This step took about twenty minutes of continuous magic infusion. Although it took time, it only consumed 8% of Helag's magic.
The Dragon Tooth Grass powder danced in the green solution, gradually dissolving as the magic-infused.
After twenty minutes, all the powder had dissolved, and the solution turned pale yellow again.
Helag shook the flask, and the solution turned sky blue.
"Nice color," he remarked. According to Deep Blue's process, the sky-blue color indicated a successful potion.
Helag poured the finished potion into a test tube and said, "Deep Blue, analyze if this potion can accelerate my meditation speed."
[Analyzing…]
Helag only needed to infuse the solution with magic for Deep Blue to analyze its components.
Unlike before, he no longer needed to apply plant extracts to his skin for analysis.
[Analysis complete.
This potion does not accelerate your meditation speed. The properties of Dragon Tooth Grass and Hemlock juice conflict in this potion. Although these components can complement each other, replacing Hemlock juice with Devil Flower root sap is recommended.]
A few minutes later, Deep Blue provided the results.
Helag pondered, "It seems the deduced formula isn't always accurate. The properties of potion ingredients vary in different formulas. Without real experiments, the true effects are unknown. Even Deep Blue's deductions are based on existing data."
Undeterred, he followed Deep Blue's suggestion to modify the formula, as he had plenty of Devil Flowers.
Devil Flower was a high-grade potion ingredient, usually the main component, but in this formula, it was just an auxiliary ingredient.
Ordinarily, potion research wouldn't use such valuable ingredients for auxiliary purposes, but Deep Blue tailored its suggestions to Helag's specific needs.
With many Devil Flowers in his spatial ring, Helag found it suitable to use them.
After modifying the formula, Helag experimented again, spending another five hours.
"Deep Blue, analyze if this potion can accelerate my meditation speed," Helag said, holding a test tube of black-purple solution, the result of the modified formula.
[Analyzing…]
Five minutes later, Deep Blue reported,
[Analysis complete.
This potion can accelerate your Starry Sky Meditation.
Usage: mix one milliliter of the potion with 200 milliliters of pure water. Consuming it will accelerate your meditation speed.]
"Success!" Helag felt a surge of excitement. This was his first successful self-developed potion formula, giving him a sense of accomplishment.
After calming down, he asked, "Deep Blue, does this potion have any side effects?"
[Analysis complete.
The side effect is an increase in libido. It is recommended to release it appropriately,] Deep Blue replied.
Helag was speechless. "Of course, it's because of the Devil Flower."
After some thought, he decided to use the potion. The side effect was minor and easily manageable.
"Deep Blue, name this potion Starry Sky Potion," Helag declared.
Unfortunately, this potion was only effective for him.
Deep Blue had tailored it to his physique and meditation method, making it ineffective for others and unsuitable for sale.
[Name recorded in the database.]
After naming it, Helag prepared a dose with pure water.
The Starry Sky Potion spread like ink in the water, turning the entire cup black-purple in an instant.
He took a small sip and held it in his mouth.
"Deep Blue, reanalyze the Starry Sky Potion to ensure it matches the previous results," Helag said for safety.
[Analysis complete. Results match the previous analysis,] Deep Blue confirmed.
Satisfied, Helag swallowed the potion.
He waited to see if there were any changes.
Feeling no discomfort, he tried meditating and found his meditation speed had indeed increased.
Half an hour later, his body remained normal, with only slightly elevated adrenaline levels.
Confident in the potion's safety, Helag drank the rest.
Instantly, he felt his senses sharpen.
He could perceive energy particles from greater distances and in larger quantities.
Entering a meditative state, he felt the stars in the sky seemed closer, his perception more acute.
These combined effects significantly increased his meditation speed, at least doubling it.
The eighth star in his mind, which would have taken four months to complete, could now be finished in two months.
After verifying the potion's effects, Helag immersed himself in meditation.
The Starry Sky Potion's effects lasted seven hours, matching the time needed for a complete meditation session.
By morning, Helag opened his eyes, satisfied with the potion's performance.
The only downside was a slightly elevated heart rate.
For some men, this wouldn't be a side effect at all.
But for Helag, it was an unnecessary burden.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down.
The side effect was more intense than expected, with his mind filled with scenes from his night at Count Huen's estate, making it hard to suppress his urges.
