Chapter 242: Substitute-like Spirit Awakening Potion

Ye Bai stayed in the Laboratory.

Although he is currently a temporary staff member, he can borrow Zhang Lingxue's account to place orders.

There are quite a lot of treasures in the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Especially that Insect King Heart which can help the Myriad-Change Silkworm evolve into a Myriad-Change Butterfly.

This is a rare treasure indeed.

The Insect King Heart is a gemstone symbolizing the Emperor of Insects, which only the king of Insect Type Exotic Beasts can condense.

Possessing it, the Insect Emperor can firmly control a massive Insect Type legion.

Ye Bai placed the order without any scruples, tucking this Insect King Heart into his pocket.

He knows the principle that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

As long as Zhang Lingxue can develop the Spirit Awakening Potion, or increase the reproductive ability of the Sword Butterfly, even if the Sword Butterfly lays one extra egg each time, that would be a leap-like progress.

Therefore, it is not excessive for Ye Bai to take some resources.

As for whether anyone will question the purpose of using the Insect King Heart.

This is also very easy to explain: it was precisely through the Insect King Heart that the recessive genes of the Sword Butterfly were activated, which is how the unique differences were discovered.

What's more, the Sword Butterfly discovered by Ye Bai laid dozens of eggs at once.

This is naturally of great significance; in the scientific community, it belongs to a major discovery, and one could even win a Nobel Prize for it.

If this research were truly made public, let alone competing for the position of Deputy Director, the position of Director would be something the Master Ancestor could obtain with ease.

Ye Bai opened the laboratory computer and found Zhang Lingxue's research data.

After more than a month of hard work, Zhang Lingxue had analyzed ninety-seven percent of the main components of the Sword Butterfly Egg.

As for the remaining three percent, no matter how she analyzed it, she could not find a substance that could replace it.

On this research project, Zhang Lingxue had already pondered everything that could be pondered.

Zhang Lingxue is indeed a genius researcher; the experimental data is very detailed, and even if Ye Bai were to research and analyze it himself, he estimates he could not do as well as Zhang Lingxue.

Inside, there are also many of Zhang Lingxue's conjectures, but the raw materials involved are simply too numerous.

If one were to try them one by one, it would probably take another year or so.

Zhang Lingxue's laboratory only has her alone, mainly because Zhang Lingxue is afraid that her experimental data might be leaked.

Now that Ye Bai has arrived, it is much simpler.

With Ye Bai possessing the talent of Memory Palace, combined with the dual integration of the Insight Eye, Ye Bai should find it relatively easy to identify that remaining three percent.

However, before that, Ye Bai intends to configure the Spirit Awakening Potion according to his own understanding first; he wants to see if it is worth his great effort to find the remaining three percent of the substance.

After all, if the Sword Butterfly can achieve large-scale reproduction, there will be a sufficient quantity of Sword Butterfly Eggs, and with sufficient raw materials, the Spirit Awakening Potion will naturally be sufficient.

There are still some Sword Butterfly Eggs with the Sunflower Emperor, so Ye Bai is not afraid of wasting them.

The formula for the Spirit Awakening Potion is very complex.

It requires many, many materials, and the configuration process is extremely complicated.

Its difficulty coefficient is Tier 7; to configure the Spirit Awakening Potion, besides talent, one also needs a little bit of luck.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingxue specifically left behind recordings of the Spirit Awakening Potion configuration.

So Ye Bai watched the video over and over again, observing every single detail point.

Until he was certain there were no issues at all with configuring the Spirit Awakening Potion, his brain operated at high speed.

The Sword Butterfly Egg acts as the main raw material within the Spirit Awakening Potion.

It provides the finishing touch.

The Sunflower Emperor and the True Dragon Sword were both on the side assisting Ye Bai.

Processing various medicinal materials according to Ye Bai's requirements.

Among them, the most precious raw material is basically the Sword Butterfly Egg.

This is the main raw material for the Spirit Awakening Potion.

Ye Bai performed the extraction and purification work on these herbs separately, eventually obtaining the important base liquid.

This is the prelude to the success of the Spirit Awakening Potion.

The configured base liquid is a crystal-clear liquid.

After the base liquid was configured, the Sunflower Emperor pierced the Sword Butterfly Egg according to Ye Bai's requirements.

A trace of crystal-clear liquid flowed down from the egg and dripped onto the Spirit Awakening Potion.

The moment the liquid came into contact with the base liquid, it radiated a magnificent luster.

After reaching this step, the Spirit Awakening Potion was basically configured.

This Spirit Awakening Potion was also configured perfectly.

At this time, Ye Bai took out another portion of the potion intended to replace the Sword Butterfly Egg, carefully picked up the pipette, and dripped the liquid down.

It was also a crystal-clear liquid, but after missing that three percent, the base liquid turned directly into a deep blue, like the most beautiful sapphire in the world.

After configuring the two portions of the Spirit Awakening Potion, Ye Bai began to test their effects with instruments, while also having the True Dragon Sword perform an evaluation.

The two portions of the Spirit Awakening Potion achieved completely different effects.

Through his contract with the True Dragon Sword, Ye Bai received feedback from the True Dragon Sword.

The Spirit Awakening Potion configured according to the original formula is like mellow aged wine; it has depth and can stimulate its spirituality to the greatest extent.

Whereas the newly configured Spirit Awakening Potion is like low-alcohol fruit wine, slightly carrying a hint of alcohol.

But the overall effect is very average, roughly similar to a 1% Spirit Awakening Potion.

According to the True Dragon Sword's online evaluation, this is equivalent to an ultra-low-spec version of the Spirit Awakening Potion; drinking ten or eight cases might still have a slight effect.

It seems that missing that three percent of important raw material still makes a world of difference.

And this stuff is especially refreshing after drinking it.

After hearing the True Dragon Sword's evaluation, Ye Bai felt a sudden inspiration. The greatest efficacy of the Spirit Awakening Potion was to enhance spiritual sense; wasn't that exactly the same as refreshing the mind? If one looked at this kind of thing from a different perspective, wouldn't its effects be much stronger than those of some Black Bull or West Peng?

Thus, Ye Bai picked up the newly formulated Spirit Awakening Potion and drank it in one gulp.

It must be said, a cool and stimulating current echoed through his brain, and the exhaustion that had built up in his spirit over the past few days was swept away.

This was a good idea; as long as it passed the food source test and was confirmed to have not the slightest harm to the human body, this would likely be a product that sold like hotcakes.

"How about I add some Sun Flower Emperor's Flower Nectar into it? Wouldn't the taste be even better?"

With a thought, Ye Bai added Sun Flower Nectar into the reformulated potion.

The moment the Sun Flower Nectar dripped into the potion bottle, the potion changed color; it now resembled a bewitching purple enchantress, radiating a magnificent luster.

It must be said, these two potions, one blue and one purple, looked quite good.

"Come, have a taste."

Ye Bai dripped the potion directly onto the True Dragon Sword, while he himself took a beaker to catch some and drank it in one gulp.

Bang.

Ye Bai felt as if his entire brain was about to explode.

A cold current filled his entire brain.

He could feel that his spirit had improved quite a bit.

"Damn, could I have accidentally stumbled upon a new type of potion?"

"Could it be that I also have a certain amount of luck in potion formulation?"

For those who cook, there is a kind of luck called culinary luck; they are always able to find the most suitable ingredients to make their dishes.

And Pharmacists who formulate potions also have a certain amount of luck; they can always happen to encounter the herbs most suitable for themselves.

Although Ye Bai did not know what the original Spirit Awakening Potion tasted like.

He felt it shouldn't be worse than the Spirit Awakening Potion with Sun Flower Nectar added.

The True Dragon Sword was trembling all over.

It could feel its own spiritual sense rapidly condensing.

This was the result of accumulated efforts finally paying off.

Bursts of dragon roars emanated from the body of the True Dragon Sword.

A massive pressure surged out from the sword body, wave after wave.

The only thing that made Ye Bai feel a bit regretful was that the True Dragon Sword did not advance; it seemed that just as it was about to take that final step, the True Dragon Sword stopped.

After some communication with the True Dragon Sword, Ye Bai knew that although this new version of the Spirit Awakening Potion with Sun Flower Nectar added was still inferior to the old version.

It was already able to achieve 50% of the efficacy.

So Ye Bai did not need to rack his brains to analyze what the remaining three percent was.

He only needed to wait until Zhang Lingxue achieved the self-propagation of the Sword Butterfly, and he would naturally be able to obtain enough Spirit Awakening Potion.

The discovery of these two potions also had epoch-making significance; it proved that potions capable of helping equipment-type Pet Beasts improve their spirituality were no longer limited to the Spirit Awakening Potion.

Strictly speaking, the discovery of these two types of potions could already be taken by Zhang Lingxue to fulfill her task.

Just at this moment, an unexpected person walked in.

"Grandmaster, why are you here?"

Ye Bai asked with a curious look on his face.

Su Qingxian looked at Ye Bai with a helpless expression: "I just wanted to come over and see Lingxue."

"This child is proud and arrogant; she can't bear to see me suffer even the slightest grievance."

"She kept me in the dark and signed a Betting Agreement in private."

"By the time I found out, it was already impossible to cancel the Betting Agreement."

Su Qingxian said with a helpless expression.

"Ye Bai, I heard you became the champion of the Young Qilin Cup and have already successfully enrolled?"

"Then you must participate well in the international Youth Breeding Competition."

"That is a great opportunity to win glory for the country."

"Back then, Lingxue also achieved a good ranking in the Breeding Competition; this time, I'm counting on you to win glory for Yan Country."

Su Qingxian said earnestly.

"I just came over to see Lingxue and tell her not to worry."

"At worst, I just won't compete for this Deputy Director position, so that Lingxue doesn't have too much of a burden in her heart."

Su Qingxian was siding with Zhang Lingxue; she could even bear to give up such a good opportunity as being promoted to Deputy Director.

"Grandmaster, you can rest assured."

"Things are not as bad as you think."

"You should just go ahead and compete for the Deputy Director position."

"I guarantee I won't let you down."

Ye Bai said with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, he still took out the blue potion and the purple potion he had formulated.

"This is what I researched; it can be considered a substitute for the Spirit Awakening Potion."

"The blue bottle only has one percent of the efficacy."

"The purple bottle has half the efficacy."

"Right now, Teacher is still researching in the Secret Realm and has already had preliminary results, so Grandmaster, you can rest assured."
