Chapter 525: Chapter 288: Moon Realm Secret Medicine, Level 2 Alchemist

’So it really works... If I think inside the Static World, I won’t waste too much time.’

’But thinking this way has its limitations, since I can’t experiment while I’m thinking... Still, the pros outweigh the cons.’

Now, for the unique Secret Medicine.

With a wave of his hand, countless medicinal ingredients instantly appeared around Lu Cang.

These were all ingredients he had scavenged in the past, never knowing when they might come in handy. He had just held onto them.

’Hoarding things really does pay off eventually.’

"Moon, Magic, Combat Skills, and even Talent..."

"This world has never been short on uniqueness. I will imbue this Potion with my understanding of the Root Source and my Extreme Battle Intent."

Illusory Wing Wood, Full Moon Bamboo, Enlightenment Blue Flower, Jade Flower Fruit, Blood Coral Fruit, Green Wolf Flower...

Lu Cang stood just like that, in the middle of an empty wilderness.

The medicinal ingredients circled around him.

The ingredients were seen gradually turning into juices or being crushed into paste, beginning to merge.

Immediately after, Lu Cang condensed a Magic Array within the merged mass of liquid.

He invoked his Tier Five Root Magic: Wan Ge Transformation.

The liquid transformed into a solid, which then turned into a gas. The very elemental arrangement of the medicinal liquid was being reconfigured by Lu Cang...

The form of a substance is merely an expression of its elemental structure.

’Theoretically, by directly altering the Elements, one could create any substance in the world.’

’It’s just that some are harder to create than others.’

And changing the internal structure of the Elements could also drastically alter the properties of the substance itself.

Just as methods like quenching and tempering change the structure of steel to give it different properties, the same principle applied to Potions.

’Therefore, I can conduct potion-making directly at the elemental level...’

’It’s like in my past life, when others were still fumbling with chemical synthesis while I could already manipulate atoms directly.’

This was his greatest advantage as an Alchemist.

Witnessing this process, Yukelyn’s pupils contracted.

He didn’t understand Magic.

But he understood Potions very well.

As a Level 7 Alchemist, he watched the Potion in Lu Cang’s hands undergoing an impossible transformation.

It was truly... impossible.

In just a few dozen seconds, the properties of the ingredients had undergone an earth-shattering change. They combined and began to stack, their effects amplifying one another. These were components that should never have been able to interact, yet here they were, mutually activating each other’s medicinal properties.

Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for medicinal ingredients to undergo such a change in properties.

This... defied the laws of the world.

Alchemy, when it came down to it, was the study of synthesis.

It involved fusing different substances through special methods, using specific techniques to extract desired medicinal properties—extraction, fractional distillation, separation...

These were all just means to obtain the corresponding properties.

Under Yukelyn’s guidance, this was roughly how Lu Cang had come to understand the field of Alchemy.

It was a discipline similar to chemistry. Although the specifics were vastly different, it was fundamentally about creating Synthetic Potions by following the laws of how substances interact.

From the perspective of those in the Alchemist Profession... it was just different potions and different pharmacologies.

’As I thought, a different perspective changes how you see things.’

They needed to follow the laws of material synthesis to create their Potions.

But his Root Magic did not.

Countless liquids converged!

Lu Cang not only extracted impossible Special properties but also bypassed countless complicated steps.

The medicinal liquid finally converged into a single, small vial.

It landed in Lu Cang’s hand.

Then, the faint glow of the liquid intensified, gradually forming a perfect, golden Potion.

This was his very own Secret Medicine.

_Ultimate Perfect Ultimate Moon Extreme Intent_

_Effect: Upon drinking this Potion, the user will temporarily comprehend and gain Extreme Battle Intent for one day. The Extreme Battle Intent sealed within is related to the Moon’s phase at the time the Potion was created._

Hmm...

A Potion one-of-a-kind in all the world.

And a Secret Medicine only he could create.

It combined all of his enlightenment, his understanding of the world, and his understanding of Potions...

"This is a Secret Medicine I created myself."

"Want to try it?"

Lu Cang tossed the vial with one hand, and it landed in Yukelyn’s.

He was only an Alchemist.

He had no Battle Professions.

"A Sec... Secret Medicine?"

Yukelyn could tell it was a Secret Medicine, but he was still stunned.

’You... you really refined it?’

’Are you really a Level 1 Alchemist on your first day? With that level of skill, I’d believe you if you told me you were a grandmaster who’s been famous for years.’

"Alright, I’ll try it."

Alchemists themselves possessed strong resistance to poison.

As an Alchemist, personally testing one’s own concoctions was an almost unavoidable part of the process. After testing so many, one’s poison resistance naturally grew.

Furthermore, Yukelyn was of the Blood Race, and the Blood Race inherently had strong poison resistance.

As long as Lu Cang wasn’t intentionally trying to poison him, it shouldn’t pose much of a threat.

And if Lu Cang wanted to kill him, he really had no need to resort to poison.

However, as a powerful Alchemist, he wouldn’t just grab a Potion and chug it down without a second thought.

He held the Potion in his hand and first observed its composition...

’The ingredients... are all common materials?’

’None of them are particularly rare. If I could learn his method of Alchemy, mass production would be very cheap.’

’But...’

’The difficulty lies in his method of Alchemy.’

Yukelyn had already watched Lu Cang’s entire Alchemy process; this inspection was merely the final step to confirm his observations.

After finishing his inspection, Yukelyn tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.

GULP~

The Potion went down into his stomach.

Soon, the entire Potion dispersed throughout his stomach as if it were an evaporating gas!

TZZT—

The Potion had a clean, sweet taste that spread throughout his entire abdominal cavity...

THUMP—

Immediately after, he felt his heart clench!

Yukelyn felt his power beginning to grow. This Potion even had the Effect of increasing strength.

Then.

Yukelyn felt a mystical sensation wash over him.

’This is...’

’Ah!’

’This feeling... could it be the legendary Extreme Battle Intent?!’

Yukelyn felt his five senses become completely clear. The entire world sharpened into focus; the flowers, birds, fish, and insects, countless structures and patterns, all became visible to his eyes in minute detail.

_Extreme Intent—Losing Sanity: In exchange for one’s Spirituality, gain an increase in the body’s self-healing, Speed, strength, and Intuition._

This was this month’s Moonlight Realm.

Yukelyn felt a maddening intent rising within him. He could now lose his Spirituality, fall into a frenzy, and gain extraordinary combat power.

However, for someone grasping Extreme Intent for the first time...

...the sensation of perpetually clear senses was what felt most novel. Comprehending Extreme Intent and not having it were two completely different worlds.

’So, this is the world through the eyes of an Extreme Intent Warrior...’

"So, I take it that was a success?" Lu Cang asked.

Yukelyn snapped back to his senses.

"Yes... It was, indeed, a perfect success."

’Using a Potion to grant someone Extreme Battle Intent? This is an unprecedented feat in the History of Alchemists... Is this person really a Level 1 Alchemist?’

’It’s only been one day since he changed his Profession, and he’s already making History.’

"Mm... That’s good."

’If it’s a success, I should be able to try upgrading to a Level 2 Alchemist. If I can get a Profession like Alchemy to a Level close to my main Profession, it will definitely be a great help.’

’After all, even Xiao Yan had the assistance of his secondary Alchemist Profession when he was leveling up.’

’The Alchemist Profession—whether it’s making potions to aid with upgrades, creating concoctions for a temporary boost in combat power, or even researching bizarre poisons that can kill the powerful—it will all be of great use to me.’
