Bab 3: Chapter 3: Inferior Dragon Blood Potion
Among the many wizard potions, the Dragon Blood Potion was a very special one.
Its effect was to strengthen the human body's constitution.
It was even effective for formal knights.
The reason it was said to be special was that the upper and lower limits of the Dragon Blood Potion could vary greatly.
Low-quality Dragon Blood Potions didn't even have a rank and could only be considered zero-order potions.
But high-quality Dragon Blood Potions could even reach the third-order level, something that even formal wizards would be tempted by.
And the rank of a Dragon Blood Potion mainly depended on the quality of its main ingredient, dragon blood.
The higher the quality of the dragon blood, the better the effect of the potion made, and naturally the higher the rank.
However, let alone true dragon blood, even the blood of a slightly stronger sub-dragon species was something Sunan currently had no way of obtaining.
But there were substitutes.
The ancestors of the Blackscale Lizards were descendants of the dragon race tens of thousands of years ago, and their bodies contained dragon blood.
Although passed down to this day, the dragon bloodline in the Blackscale Lizards had been diluted to the extreme, but it still contained the blood of the giant dragon.
Sunan's goal was to extract dragon blood that met the material standards of the Dragon Blood Potion from the blood of the Blackscale Lizards.
Patting his cheeks, Sunan roused himself and prepared to start working.
However, just the first step of carrying the heavy lizard corpses onto the operating table left him panting.
"Once I make the Dragon Blood Potion, I must take it myself first and improve my physique!"
After calming his breathing, Sunan picked up the scalpel and began to dissect and draw blood.
These Blackscale Lizards had just died not long ago, and their corpses had been preserved with medicine, so the blood in their bodies had not yet coagulated, making the blood drawing process very smooth.
After spending more than an hour extracting all the lizard blood, Sunan began the bloodline extraction process.
[Completed a blood purification, 'Bio-modification' learning progress +0.01%]
[Completed a blood refining, 'Bio-modification' learning progress +0.01%]
[Completed a bloodline extraction, 'Bio-modification' learning progress +0.03%]
After multiple purifications and refining, a whole bucket of blood was eventually reduced to just over three liters.
Looking at the scarlet blood in the glass, thick like jelly, Sunan's eyes flickered slightly.
[Dragon Lizard Blood, purity 35.68%. Blood containing the Dragon Lizard bloodline. After being injected into the human body, there is a very small probability of mutating into a Dragon Lizard body, and a very high probability of rejection. Severe cases can lead to death. The stronger the physique, the higher the success rate of mutation and the lower the rejection.]
"With my current technology, this is the limit of what I can refine."
Sunan sighed.
Bloodline extraction and refining were part of bio-modification.
He hadn't even mastered the bio-modification skill yet, so his technology was naturally limited.
Fortunately, he still had the Synthesis Cube, his cheat.
"Making one Dragon Blood Potion requires 80 ml of dragon blood."
Sunan separated two 80 ml portions of Dragon Lizard blood and put them into the cube. The corresponding information quickly appeared on the synthesis interface.
[Dragon Lizard Blood, purity 51.59%. Blood containing the Dragon Lizard bloodline. After being injected into the human body, there is a small probability of mutating into a Dragon Lizard body, and a high probability of rejection. Severe cases can lead to death. The stronger the physique, the higher the success rate of mutation and the lower the rejection.]
"Not enough."
Sunan continued to add more Dragon Lizard blood.
The purity of the synthesized product continued to increase, but the increase became smaller and smaller.
It wasn't until the 8th portion of Dragon Lizard blood was added that the information on the synthesized product finally changed qualitatively.
[Sub-dragon Blood, purity 1.12%. Blood containing the dragon bloodline. After being injected into the human body, there is a very small probability of mutating into a sub-dragon body, and a very high probability of rejection. Severe cases can lead to death. The stronger the physique, the higher the success rate of mutation and the lower the rejection.]
"Finally succeeded."
A joyful smile appeared on Sunan's face.
Sub-dragon blood was the minimum standard material for refining Dragon Blood Potion.
Considering that this was his first time making the potion, and the failure rate might be a bit high, Sunan decided to prepare a few more portions of materials and didn't continue synthesizing.
In the end, more than three liters of Blackscale Lizard blood were synthesized into a total of 5 portions of sub-dragon blood.
Sunan did not immediately start making the potion, but instead meditated for a while to restore his energy to its peak state before starting his first potion making attempt.
The most important ingredient in the Dragon Blood Potion was dragon blood. The other materials were not difficult to find, and Sunan had already prepared them.
He lit the alcohol lamp, placed the beaker, then added water and added the materials in order.
The whole process was similar to refining the Silvermoon Flower, but there was an extra step at the end.
Under the bright candlelight, Sunan flicked his finger, and a blue-violet halo instantly submerged into the beaker.
At the same time, his lips moved slightly, and he uttered a series of strange syllables, sometimes sharp and high-pitched, sometimes low and weak.
And with his voice, the bright red liquid in the beaker also changed into various shapes.
The production of a real potion, even a zero-order potion, required spiritual power as a guide, otherwise it would definitely fail.
This was the reason why wizard potions were mysterious and powerful.
After more than ten minutes, the bright red liquid gradually calmed down, and its volume slowly decreased.
But at a certain moment, the liquid suddenly boiled violently again, emitting a lot of green smoke. After a bang, it turned into a mass of焦black powder.
[Completed a potion making (failed), potion making proficiency +4]
"Even a failed potion making gives much more proficiency than extracting Silvermoon Flower."
There was no frustration on Sunan's face.
He hadn't expected to succeed in his first attempt at making the potion.
After resting for a while, Sunan continued with his second potion making attempt.
However, this time it still ended in failure.
The subsequent third potion making also failed.
Sunan summarized the experience of the three failures and finally succeeded in his fourth attempt.
[Completed a potion making, potion making proficiency +12]
[Inferior Dragon Blood Potion (Zero-order/Inferior), after taking it, it can strengthen the physique. The specific strengthening range depends on the physique of the user. The weaker the physique, the stronger the effect. Repeated use will weaken the effect.]
"Just an Inferior Dragon Blood Potion?"
"Well, after all, the purity of the sub-dragon blood was too low. It's already very good that I could make it successfully."
Without a second thought, Sunan poured the potion into his mouth.
The moment the potion entered his stomach, a heat flow suddenly exploded, instantly surging through his limbs and bones.
Sunan only felt as if his whole body was immersed in hot magma, with severe pain but also a hint of undeniable pleasure.
It took a full four or five minutes for the severe pain to slowly dissipate.
Sunan was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his clothes soaked through.
But at this moment, he felt full of energy, as if he had endless strength, and there was no longer the feeling of weakness and fatigue he had before.
Taking off his shirt, Sunan looked down at his body.
His originally thin body, where his ribs could be clearly seen, had now become much stronger.
Pressing his abdomen lightly, he could clearly feel the abdominal muscles under the shallow fat.
Clenching his fist, the muscles in his arm immediately became prominent.
Sunan opened the panel and was surprised to find that his physique had changed from 0.7 to 2.6.
An increase of 1.9!
"A physique of 2.6 is almost equivalent to that of an apprentice knight who has trained for four or five years."
Sunan was filled with amazement.
One potion had turned him from a weak ordinary person into a powerful apprentice knight.
This was the power of wizard potions!
And this was just a low-grade zero-order potion.
If it were a ranked Dragon Blood Potion, it might be able to directly promote an ordinary person to a knight!
"Ranked potions are still too far away
for me. Now, having the Inferior Dragon Blood Potion is enough to get the job done."
