Developing a cure for her legs was simply not feasible at this stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind her limited knowledge and lack of drug development experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials alone were an enormous problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she settled for the next best thing and reached out to Shang Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Do you have any Azure Jade Mayfly corpses, blood, sap? And white dandelions and calotropis flowers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Yes — five Azure Jade Mayfly corpses, about twenty kilograms of calotropis flowers, and I've got around three or four jin of white dandelions. Gu Xiaobei should have more, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a merchant, he'd long since figured out that Gu Xiaobei and Lan Qingyou knew each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sold Gu Xiaobei out without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Give me everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lan Qingyou turned to contact Gu Xiaobei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past two days had not been kind to Gu Xiaobei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had the mana potions Lan Qingyou had made — purchased through Shang Chuan — she was alone and had no alarm clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she slept, she dared not fall into a deep slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't even dare lie on the bed, instead perching in a bamboo chair to catch what little rest she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logic was simple: the moment she truly fell asleep, she'd tumble off the chair, jolt fully awake for about an hour, recharge the shield, and then doze off again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just two days of this cycle, dark circles had crept under her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! Ding! Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After yet another bout of nodding off, the friend chat notification chimed from the Magic Desk before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei jolted awake with a start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden movement sent the blanket draped over her sliding to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glance — it was from the boss. Her energy came flooding back immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"How much white dandelion do you have left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei: \"Around thirty-some kilograms? Do you need them, boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaobei: \"Give me a sec.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Gu Xiaobei rummaged through her storage room and dug out every last white dandelion, then sent them all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd originally purchased these from Shang Chuan to make dandelion tea as a complement to her cooking — a palate cleanser for the heavily meat-centric meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, it was a free bonus with each order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Lan Qingyou wanted them, she didn't even ask what they were for — just handed over every last stem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it helped the boss, it helped herself. Gu Xiaobei was sharp enough to understand that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all the materials were in hand, Lan Qingyou dove into her research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she was developing wasn't a cure for her legs. It was a potion that, once consumed, would make the drinker's body float — an effect similar to her own talent, Light Body Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since that tumble she'd taken, she'd been keenly aware that she couldn't afford to rely too heavily on her talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had she gotten this talent in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been awakened on the Magic Desk's Small Screen — or more precisely, with the assistance of Kalim's World Will. Essentially a free cheat code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was exactly why Lan Qingyou didn't fully trust it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was something given by another entity. What if it vanished one day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it disappeared before she'd developed a cure for her legs, wouldn't she be right back to her bedridden existence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a healing potion, a potion with a magical function like this should be considerably easier to develop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So during those late-night study sessions, the idea of creating such a potion had gradually taken shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cardinal rule of potion-making was elemental correspondence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire-attribute materials produced fire-attribute potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water-attribute materials produced water-attribute potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So to create a \"Light Body Spell-like\" potion, she'd naturally need materials from monsters that could float.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, \"floating\" and \"flying\" were two entirely different concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Jade Mayfly — a creature roughly arm-length that could drift through both air and water, sporting two pairs of transparent wings, resembling a dragonfly, and possessing both plant and insect attributes — was the obvious first choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supplemented with white dandelions and calotropis flowers — plants capable of launching their seeds into the air to float and find suitable growing ground — success shouldn't be too difficult... right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, beyond these, Lan Qingyou also prepared various other herbs and monster materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategy was simple: try as many combinations as possible using brute-force enumeration. Sooner or later, she'd hit on the right formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preparing all the materials and sweeping up the broken stone slab debris from the floor — tossing it all down to the base of the tree — Lan Qingyou brought out the small stone slabs and the enamel mugs she hadn't used in a while. She labeled each mug with ink numbers using a bottle of India ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she began her formulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For each combination, she recorded the mug's number alongside the ingredient ratios in her notebook using a charcoal pencil wrapped in cloth strips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rigor was the name of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred enamel mugs seemed like a lot, but against the sheer number of possible herb combinations, they were far from enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the current Lan Qingyou was no longer the clueless newcomer who'd arrived on the Kalim Continent nearly a month ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Drawing, Basic Symbology, Basic Magic Circuitry — she'd long since committed them all to memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the alchemy arrays she used this time weren't the primitive circles-plus-triangles-and-sun-and-moon-symbols of her early days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did they dramatically reduce brewing time, they even improved quality somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just a bit tedious to draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not by much, but it was more than sufficient for research-grade potion brewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five hours, the first batch was finally complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the dregs had settled, Lan Qingyou used her Appraisal Glasses to identify which of the hundred mugs had produced the telltale golden glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From those, she selected the most promising ratios for a second round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After each batch, she went upstairs to top off the magic shield's energy, ensuring her safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, after three rounds of refinement, Lan Qingyou finally obtained what she'd been after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crude Elixir - Featherlight (E-)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effect: Upon consumption, your body weight is reduced to zero for 10 minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Description: A bizarre potion that has never existed before — because frankly, no one has ever felt the need to concoct something just to float through the air. That said, you could also use it on your enemies. Watching them flail helplessly in midair might prove rather entertaining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","e0eebb3bc840097625521bf8e7ee2ad267b933664f873d24b1b548bd6999e762","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-55","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-53",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
