The refining process for the Rock Bear Potion this ti was vastly different from previous attempts.
Ian adjusted his condition and laid out all the materials on his workbench.
He began to heat the vessel, controlling the temperature to three degrees lower than usual to accommodate the gentle nature of the Moon Soul Essence.
He first poured in the Rock Bear Essence Blood, infusing his Spiritual Power to feel the surging Earth Life Energy within.
Next, he added the Wind Dandelion Powder. An energy like a gentle breeze seeped in, causing the dense Essence Blood to begin to "loosen."
Then ca the Star Patterned Steel Paste. The Starlight Power perated the conceptual layer of bone reinforcent.
After that, he added the Earth Toad Skin Granules, which evenly spread the resilience of the Earth throughout the mixture.
Then ca the most critical step: adding the new Auxiliary Materials.
Ian first sprinkled in the processed Rock Lizard Shedding Powder.
HUMMM...
The mont the Earth Energy in the Potion ca into contact with the shedding powder, the previously rigid flow of energy suddenly gained a hint of "elasticity"!
It was as if fine, adjustable fissures had appeared within solid rock.
Next, he added the Fiber Carrier that had been mixed with Earth Vein Crystal Powder.
After entering the liquid, the fibers did not dissolve imdiately. Instead, they suspended themselves evenly, beginning to slowly release the pure Earth Energy from the Earth Vein Crystal. It was like countless microscopic springs of energy, continuously and stably replenishing the potion’s potency, rather than releasing it in a single burst.
The Potion’s color shifted from dark gold to a deeper Dark Gold Liquid, and the phantom of a Rock Armor was no longer the only thing visible within.
Instead, a strange image faintly erged—that of rock slowly flowing, changing shape without shattering!
Ian was completely focused, his Spiritual Power acting like the most precise instrunt, adjusting every bit of flowing Energy and the resonance of every Rule.
He could feel the Potion in the cauldron undergoing a fundantal sublimation. It was no longer just a Potion that "strengthened the body," but was beginning to carry the prototype of the Rule: "the Earth changes shape but does not break"!
Finally, the liquid stabilized completely, congealing into a single Potion as viscous as molten gold, with patterns like flowing rock slowly circulating within.
[Rock Bear Potion Skill Level 1]
[Rock Bear Potion Skill Level 1]
[Concentration Potion Skill Level 1]
[Spirit Recovery Potion Skill Level 1]
...
Notifications for Skill Level gains flooded his vision, no longer limited to a single Potion, but for every formula he had mastered.
This Satori was like breaking through a crucial bottleneck; a vast number of profound and ingenious Magic Potion techniques flooded his mind.
The sheer volu of information surpassed any feedback he had ever received from the panel.
At the sa ti, the text on the panel was rapidly changing.
[Concentration Potion: Mastery (579/1600)]
[Spirit Recovery Potion: Mastery (800/800)]
[Rock Bear Potion: Limit-Broken (1) (0/3200) (Limit-Breaking Effect: 1. Earth Vein Resonance)]
Earth Vein Resonance: When fighting in an earth-based environnt, you gain bonus Endurance and recovery. If your body sustains an attack that pushes it to its limits, it can briefly manifest a localized ’rock flow’ trait. This disperses the impact, significantly reducing the risk of broken bones and ruptured organs. For the duration of the effect, your body’s toughness is increased to its absolute maximum.
Ian let out a long breath. His eyes were filled with exhaustion, but they shone with even greater excitent.
He picked up this Limit-Breaking Edition of the Rock Bear Potion, feeling the Extraordinary Information contained within it, which far surpassed any he had made before.
’This is true Magic Potion Science... understanding the essence, harmonizing the Rules, creating possibilities.’
Although this formula still involved the Blood Essence of a Rock Armor Demon Bear, it was no longer the original Rock Bear Potion.
’A true Tier One Magic Potion!’
Ian had relied on his long-accumulated knowledge of Magic Potions and wasted a great deal of materials and Magic Stones to finally make this difficult leap across tiers.
In his state of Satori, he had no ti to even think about sothing as important as Gaga’s advancent, which had made the little crow very unhappy.
But it was all worth it.
He had yet to advance to an Official Wizard, but his Magic Potion Science had already surpassed his own Realm—an extrely rare situation.
Outside the window, the night in the Glowing Forest was deep.
The ti spent altering the formula flew by. Half a month had quietly passed, and the drums of war were beating closer.
He looked at the remaining Rock Bear Essence Blood on the workbench, a smile playing on his lips.
’With the remaining materials, I can refine a dozen more. I’m sure such a precious Potion will be in high demand during the war.’
And after this round of Body Tempering, his physical shortcomings would be completely overco!
Seeing that it was still early, Ian summoned Gaga to his side.
"Don’t be angry anymore. It was my fault. We’ll set off right now."
"Hmph... So you finally rembered ?" Gaga turned its little head to the side.
Ian had promised to give it a Tier One Blood Essence in a few days, but its injuries had long since healed, and Ian had remained cooped up in the Alchemy Room like a madman.
Ian picked Gaga up, took out a few Blood Essences, and stuffed them by its beak. After a long ti coaxing it, he finally managed to appease the little crow.
He predicted that Gaga consuming the Tier One Blood Essence this ti might cause a huge disturbance.
Being cautious by nature, he went to the edge of the Silent Death Mountain Range and found a deep mountain cave.
"Gaa! Why are we here?" Gaga flew up from his shoulder, curiously looking around.
"You might cause quite a stir this ti. I’ll stand guard outside, just in case."
Ian led Gaga into the cave and set up a triple-layered isolation Barrier.
"Ian, you’re the best!" Gaga’s voice rang softly in his mind.
This ti, Ian had prepared five Spirit Recovery Potions, over a dozen Limit-breaking Healing Potions, and several Physique Potions, all laid out neatly beside him.
"Are you ready?" he asked, looking at Gaga, who was perched on a stone platform.
"I couldn’t wait any longer! Gaa!"
Gaga puffed out its small chest, its eyes fixed on the Flowing Wind Shadow Crow Blood Essence.
Without another word, Ian placed the Blood Essence on a special silver plate. He tapped it with a fingertip, infusing his Spiritual Power to guide the gradual release of the energy within.
HUMMM!
The Blood Essence lit up with a pale cyan glow. The phantom of the Shadow Crow inside seed to co to life, letting out a silent, clear cry.
A dense Wind Attribute Life Energy spread out, and a wind stirred within the windless cave.
Gaga took a deep breath, ducked its head, and swallowed the entire Blood Essence in one gulp.
GULP.
The sound of swallowing had barely faded when a sudden change occurred!
"GAAAA!!!"
A shrill caw exploded through the air!
Every feather on Gaga’s body stood on end as its body began to swell uncontrollably.
It wasn’t actively using Primordial Transformation; it was being forcibly expanded by the berserk Energy.
Its wingspan instantly exceeded five ters, smashing against the cave walls and sending stone chips flying.
Its eyes bulged, shot through with blood, and a cringe-inducing CRACKING sound ca from within its body—the sound of bones undergoing Reorganization and flesh tearing apart!
"Hold on! Guide the Energy to break the shackles deep within your bloodline!"
Ian shouted, pressing his left hand to Gaga’s head. A pure stream of Vaporization Spiritual Power flowed in like a trickle of water, helping it stabilize its consciousness.
’So... so painful! Gaa! My bones are breaking, and... my head’s going to explode!’
Gaga shrieked frantically through the Soul Link, its body thrashing on the stone platform, its claws carving deep gouges into the Stone Slab.
"Imagine you are a true Shadow Night Kite... darting through shadows, commanding the fierce winds..."
