Chapter 887: Chapter 675: Disappearance
Ice Sculpture Royal Capital.
Zi Di focused intently, staring at the glass beaker in her hand.
“60ml of Worry Relief Red Wine, accompanied by 15g of Time Ice.”
“Requirement 1: The energy level of Time Ice must be between 400-560 mana.”
“Requirement 2: The Time Ice needs to be pre-cooled, with the temperature lowered to at least -20℃.”
“Requirement 3: After placing the Time Ice into the red wine, monitor the temperature. If it rises by 10℃ or more within 30 seconds, quickly add Golden Coconut Oil. If it doesn’t reach this level, do not add it.”
Next, there are two alchemical routes, corresponding to whether the temperature rise meets the standard or not.
Zi Di recalled all the steps while carefully examining the red wine, the Time Ice, and so on.
After confirming that all alchemy materials met standards, Zi Di began the formal preparation.
When Zi Di placed the Time Ice into the beaker with red wine, the temperature did not reach the required level.
She immediately took the second route.
“Lucky break.”
The second route is much easier than the first.
“Temperature monitoring is just one observation dimension; the real standard is a certain critical data point.”
“The content Ban Tu traded to me didn’t include this core part.”
“It might be related to the God of Intoxication’s divine power…”
Zi Di could only speculate secretly.
It’s also not Ban Tu’s fault for withholding during the transaction.
In fact, transactions involving alchemical techniques generally work this way.
Ban Tu had already explained all the alchemical steps and signed a contract ensuring he didn’t falsify information to a large extent.
Zi Di followed the procedure step by step, achieving the corresponding alchemical result.
It’s like buying and selling magic potion recipes.
Zi Di also wouldn’t tell buyers the reasons for these potion step designs, the thoughts before and after developing this potion, or the sources of inspiration.
This part of knowledge is already beyond alchemical techniques and represents something on a higher level.
Of course, this knowledge can be sold. Various Magic Academies and Alchemy Academies are essentially in this business. Students pay tuition to gain opportunities to learn such knowledge.
For Zi Di, this bought alchemical technique, she hasn’t yet grasped the principles, let alone reverse-engineered the design concepts and ideas.
Her initial plan was to fully understand it, perhaps even try to improve it (mainly using the War Merchant database, Tower Spirit; Zi Di’s alchemical skills alone were definitely not enough), and then use it on the Dragon-man youth.
But now, the situation was urgent, and there was no time for Zi Di to properly study and understand this technique.
After consideration, Zi Di decided to use it on Zong Ge first.
“Long Fu” needs to appear, especially after enduring the frost aura of the Ice Calamity.
Just Zi Di’s disguise is definitely not enough. She has other important matters (Purple Vine Secret Stash) to attend to.
Three hours later, Zi Di weakly looked at the beaker, joy flashing in her eyes.
Her first alchemy attempt failed halfway through.
This was the second time.
During the second attempt, the ice temperature rose significantly, exceeding 10 degrees Celsius. According to the steps, Zi Di could only choose the first route.
Although the difficulty increased significantly, Zi Di surprisingly succeeded.
The finished Worry Relief Red Wine exuded a bright red color, resembling blood. When the liquid swayed, it emitted a faint orange-yellow glow.
The Time Ice underwent significant changes, no longer being a solid ice block but transforming into something akin to an illusion.
It hovered within the red wine.
If the red wine was completely still, the hidden ice could be seen.
Upon agitating the wine, the pure white ice could be barely observed with the naked eye, resembling magical images floating up and down in the red wine.
Zi Di glanced at the clock: “I only have 18 minutes.”
The red wine in this state cannot last long.
Zi Di, with all her effort, quickly checked the product for issues, finding none.
The time was down to just 2 minutes.
Zi Di immediately began stirring.
During the stirring, Zi Di did not draw upon her spiritual power.
This was quite rare.
Generally, the brewing of magic potions requires heavy involvement of the alchemist’s spiritual power.
Zi Di simply used an ordinary glass rod for stirring.
The stirring speed was not fast.
As the Worry Relief Red Wine gradually spiraled, the magical image-like Time Ice was also pulled into white filaments, rotating along with the liquid.
“The aura is unified!”
Zi Di’s eyes lit up.
Initially, the supernatural aura of the ice red wine was mixed. But as the stirring reached a certain level, the mixed supernatural auras unexpectedly merged harmoniously.
“It’s now.” Zi Di held the beaker and approached the bed.
She pried open Zong Ge’s mouth, inserting a small glass funnel. Then, she poured the ice red wine slowly through the funnel.
After stirring, the red wine had become quite viscous.
Like honey, it flowed slowly into the funnel and then into Zong Ge’s mouth.
The ice red wine emitted a faint chill, occasionally revealing an ice image.
The wine aroma was extremely strong, reaching Zi Di’s nose, making her long for a drink despite being an Undead Life.
An entire glass of red wine was poured into Zong Ge’s mouth.
He didn’t need to swallow; the red wine quickly dissolved upon contact with his mouth, permeating into his skin, muscles, blood, and bones.
About a minute later, Zong Ge slowly opened his eyes.
“It’s really effective!” Zi Di rejoiced.
Zong Ge’s vision transitioned from blurry to clear, he recognized Zi Di, and hoarsely thanked her.
Zi Di exhaled a breath of foul air, relaxing, “This time was dangerous.”
“Luckily, I had previously made a transaction with Ban Tu and bought the alchemical technique for the ice red wine.”
“After that, I purchased two bottles of Worry Relief Red Wine from the Lijian family. This gave me the ability to help you counteract the effects of the [Beautiful Future] potion.”
Zong Ge struggled, attempting to sit up, “The effects of [Beautiful Future] overwhelmed me, almost preventing me from maintaining my defenses.”
“By itself, it’s not a threat. The key is that it acted like a fuse, igniting various hidden issues within my body.”
Zong Ge sat up halfway, attempted to circulate his fighting energy, and a hint of joy crossed his face.
“A blessing in disguise.”
“This time, I was pushed to the limit, teetering on the brink of life and death.”
“My body has significantly strengthened; the speed of my fighting energy circulation has increased at least twofold. The protection for my internal organs has thoroughly settled, becoming one of my instincts.”
“Hahaha.”
Seeing Zong Ge laugh, Zi Di rolled her eyes in exasperation, “It’s good that you’re awake, get up quickly and make your appearance in public.”
Zong Ge nodded and was about to rise but suddenly rolled his eyes upward.
But the eye-roll stayed up.
Thud.
Zong Ge fell back, his head hitting the bedboard with a soft thud.
Zi Di: ?!
She froze momentarily, then swiftly bent over, placing her palm on Zong Ge’s chest, using her spiritual power to probe.
Then, she recoiled her hand as if electrocuted.
Zong Ge’s body was covered in a layer of intoxicating divine power, almost harming her.
Zi Di’s face changed drastically, exclaiming in shock, “What’s going on? His soul is gone!”
