HISS...
As the amber-colored liquid seeped in, the once-rigid energy patterns began to soften and become pliable, yet they did not lose their intrinsic Rock Element characteristics.
The vine’s color gradually shifted from grayish-brown to Dark Gold, its surface shimmering with a rock-like luster.
"The framework is complete."
Ian carefully placed the prepared vine into a special Obsidian Crucible.
The final step was to merge the main ingredients.
Ian slowly poured the traced Earth Barbarian Bear Essence Blood into the Crucible, just enough to submerge two-thirds of the vine.
He held his left hand over the Crucible, and an invisible shockwave permeated it, resonating with the Law Patterns within the Essence Blood. At the same time, it activated the Rock Armor Attribute already infused into the vine.
HUMMM...
A low hum sounded as the liquid inside the Crucible began to slowly swirl.
The Dark Gold Essence Blood flowed along the vine’s network of Energy Conduits, seeping deep within...
The source information of the two bloodlines began to slowly merge along this "framework."
Ian was completely focused, his Spiritual Power acting like the most precise probe, delving deep inside the merging Potion.
He "saw" the Dark Gold Earth Vein Origin and the amber-colored Rock Armor Attribute begin to converge and intertwine...
Eventually, they started to fuse into a completely new, more High Level form of Energy.
This process lasted for a full two hours.
When the last trace of the Rock Armor Attribute finished merging with the Earth Vein Origin, the color of the liquid in the Crucible changed abruptly!
It transformed from a mixture of Dark Gold and amber into a profound Dark Gold Liquid.
Within it, a complete, golden map of the Earth’s veins flowed slowly, and natural, rock-like textures appeared in the gaps between the veins.
"Initial fusion successful..."
Ian let out a soft sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his brow.
Step Five: Adding the Auxiliary Materials and Rule Solidification.
Ian evenly sprinkled the Earth Vein Crystal Powder into the Crucible.
The moment the powder touched the liquid, the entire Crucible trembled violently!
The pure Earth Energy from the Earth Vein Crystal surged into the Potion like a flood, triggering a violent Energy riot.
Ian was prepared. He formed a Sealing Technique with his hands as his Spiritual Power rushed in like a tide, forcefully stabilizing the Potion’s properties.
At the same time, he added the Thousand-Year Stone Milk.
The milky-white liquid seeped in, acting like the gentlest of buffers, calming the rampaging Energy conflict.
Next came the Centennial Stone Heart Vine Marrow, the Rock Lizard Shedding Powder...
The addition of each Auxiliary Material made the Potion’s Rule structure more stable and complete.
When all the Auxiliary Materials had been added, the Potion had completely stabilized.
Its color settled into a "dark gold amber," and the vine framework at the center had completely dissolved, becoming part of the Potion itself.
The Energy fluctuations were restrained yet powerful, as if a miniature Earth had been sealed within the Crucible.
The Final Step: Guidance of the Original Blood Origin Tracing.
Ian moved the Crucible to the center of the Alchemy Array.
The Array’s dim yellow light enveloped the Crucible, and Earth Vein Energy surged into it like a tide.
The Potion’s temperature began to slowly rise.
degrees... 185 degrees... 187 degrees!
The very instant the temperature reached 187 degrees.
The Potion inside the Crucible suddenly boiled!
In the center of the dark gold amber liquid, a miniature "mountain phantom" emerged!
It contained mountain ranges, river valleys, and an Earth Vein network... like a living, three-dimensional map.
"Now!"
Ian pressed his hands down over the Crucible, fully activating the "Original Blood Origin Tracing" effect of his Bloodline Purification Technique!
Pale gold Energy Threads, like the most precise carving knives, seeped into the Potion, following the veins of the mountain phantom to begin the final Rule guidance.
This wasn’t a simple fusion of Energy, but a "Seal Solidification" at the Rule level.
He intended to permanently engrave the result of the fusion between the two bloodline sources into the Potion in the form of a Rule.
This process required absolute control over his Spiritual Power, as well as a rudimentary understanding of the Earth Rule.
Veins bulged on Ian’s forehead, and sweat poured down like rain.
His Spiritual Power poured out like a flood bursting through a dam.
Three seconds... two seconds... one second...
"It’s done!"
The mountain phantom abruptly contracted, transforming into a tiny, complex, Dark Gold Rune that merged deep into the Potion.
The Potion’s color shifted from dark gold amber to an even deeper Earth Amber.
There were no longer any phantoms swirling within, only a stable, solid-like, heavy texture.
’This is a Tier Two Bloodline Potion... To prevent any mishaps, I’ll need to encrypt it.’
Within his Sea of Spirit, the Seed of the Stars began to vibrate.
Ian carefully controlled a sliver of Spiritual Power, slowly letting it seep into the Crucible.
This process could not damage the Potion’s structural integrity.
Finally, a trace of the Rule aura of a Level Four Morning Star Wizard silently merged into the Potion.
SIZZLE...
After the faint sound, the Potion completed its final stabilization.
Ian took out a specially made, heavy Crystal Bottle and carefully poured the Potion into it.
The liquid was as viscous as molten amber, flowing slowly within the bottle, and it seemed as if mountains were rising and falling inside it.
He held the Crystal Bottle up to the light.
The Potion inside refracted a heavy yet brilliant luster, as if a miniature Earth was sealed within.
"Success..."
Ian said softly, his voice filled with irrepressible excitement.
The Earth Tyrant Potion was an extremely special Tier Two Bloodline Potion.
It was a masterpiece that combined nearly all of Ian’s current knowledge of Magic Potion Science and Witchcraft.
After consumption, one would permanently gain the "Child of the Earth Veins" attribute, their body would be strengthened to the level of a Level Two Late Stage Body Refining Wizard, and they could activate "Ussa Incarnation" once per day...
After closing his eyes to sense it for a moment, Ian still felt a little regretful.
’Time was still a bit tight. There are some side effects.’
Because of the "Child of the Earth Veins" attribute, staying away from the Earth for extended periods would lead to gradual Weakness.
The user’s personality would also absorb some of the Earth’s stubborn traits, and this influence would need to be resolved when they try to break through to Level Three Wizard in the future.
’The encryption is a good touch. The use of every Potion is under my control, and any attempt to dismantle it will trigger its self-destruction.’
He placed the Potion on the laboratory bench and let out a long breath.
Only then did he feel a wave of exhaustion wash over his entire body.
Over ten consecutive hours of high-intensity Refining had taken a terrifying toll on his Spiritual Power.
Ian collapsed into a chair, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing to recover.
Gaga flew over, landed on his lap, and rubbed its little head against his hand.
"Ian, you’re amazing!"
"It’s just one success," Ian said, opening his eyes and ruffling its small head.
"I still have two more sets of materials. I need to refine two more as backups."
"No! You need to rest now!"
For once, Gaga acted forcefully, pushing at his arm with its small claws.
Ian smiled. "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
He really did need to rest.
He no longer worried about Aidelle’s upcoming practical combat assessment.
’I’m looking forward to seeing the expressions on the faces of those eyes hiding in the dark.’
This Potion wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to cause another qualitative leap in Aidelle’s strength.
Of course, she would need to pay him adequate compensation.
He believed Aidelle would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.
’My Star Crystals... and even Star Fragments, are finally within reach!’
Ian carefully put away the Earth Tyrant Potion, then stood up and walked toward the rest area in the corner of the Laboratory.
Soon after lying down, he fell into a deep sleep.
