Chapter 2090

Although Su Xiao wanted to go and directly hack the Dominator, he had no idea where the Dominator was.

The Sorrowful Daughter bowed to Su Xiao and returned to the side of the bookcase, closing her eyes.

After a while, Su Xiao heard faint snoring. He looked toward the Sorrowful Daughter; she was actually standing there asleep.

"Lord Nia... I will help you... dispel..."

The Sorrowful Daughter muttered in her sleep. After confirming there was no useful intelligence, Su Xiao stopped paying attention.

After waiting for about two hours, the door of the Sleepy House was knocked on; it was Caesar who had arrived.

"I acquired a total of three portions of the materials. This is the Bird-Eating Flower, this is the Dark Bone Ash..."

Caesar categorized and placed the various materials. Xiang Bubu Wang did not return but continued to monitor the movements of the Moen family at the Witches' Association.

Su Xiao took Caesar to the second floor, cleared out all the furniture in the bedroom on the left side of the stairs, and set it up as an alchemy laboratory.

Caesar had been sneakily tinkering with something the whole time. This guy had been very interested in the Sorrowful Daughter before, mistaking her for an alchemical creature. However, after several attempts to negotiate, the Sorrowful Daughter politely declined to answer his strange questions.

Caesar, who had been coldly ignored, was very angry, so he glared at the Sorrowful Daughter—this belonged to being cowardly but having some backbone.

After setting up the alchemy laboratory, Su Xiao began to concoct the potion. The reason he felt potion concoction was simple was mainly because the potion omitted a process: using mana to catalyze and transform the materials into a life-like nature, making it easier for the drinker's body to accept.

As for the potion, it was just mixing various materials together, completely ignoring whether the drinker could withstand it, as well as the side effects of various materials, purely pursuing the effect without considering the side effects.

Gurgle, gurgle~

The light purple liquid churned in the flask. Su Xiao poured out the liquid in the flask; in his view, this couldn't even be considered a potion.

【The 'Potion: Dead Soul' has been successfully concocted.】

【You have successfully analyzed the recipe for 'Potion: Dead Soul.'】

【Potion: Dead Soul.】

Origin: Holy Flame Apothecary

Quality: White

Type: Special

Effect: After drinking this potion, the soul can be 'cooled,' and the effect lasts for 17 natural days.

Rating: 10 points

Introduction: This potion has extremely strong side effects, and the rating is significantly reduced.

Su Xiao put down the Dead Soul potion in his hand. If he hadn't guessed wrong, this was a potion most commonly used by witches. The so-called 'cooling' of the soul was actually just alleviating madness.

"Really, it succeeded!"

Caesar swallowed his saliva, his shifty eyes staring at the Dead Soul potion as if it were a peerless beauty.

"Trash."

Su Xiao threw the Dead Soul potion into the waste pool. The unsealed potion merged with the water, emitting a somewhat pungent smell.

"Don't, don't, don't..."

Caesar's hand froze in mid-air, and he looked at Su Xiao with tears in his eyes.

"Selling this stuff will only ruin our reputation. The Moen family has controlled the potion business for who knows how many years. With potions of the same quality, we can't compete with them."

A gold coin flipped in Su Xiao's hand. He looked ahead thoughtfully, his mind rapidly conceiving something.

Most potions were not used to enhance strength, but to alleviate the pain, madness, etc., that witches endured.

And the Dead Soul potion, although it could help witches suppress madness for a period of time, would cause physical harm. This harm was very direct; one could feel it not long after drinking it.

Su Xiao's idea was to change the concoction characteristics of the potion to make its effect stronger and reduce the harm to the witches.

Su Xiao didn't care whether those witches lived or died; what he cared about was whether the potion was easy to sell.

Although witches were more or less somewhat mad, they were not completely chaotic. Of course, they could judge which potions were better; no one would refuse something more beneficial to themselves.

Caesar's days of suffering began here. He had to continue taking out silver coins to acquire materials to supply Su Xiao's experiments.

Su Xiao successfully analyzed the Dead Soul potion, which greatly increased Caesar's confidence in Su Xiao. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and went out to acquire extraordinary materials.

With Su Xiao's development of the potion, Caesar's purse shrank rapidly. It was clearly visible that Caesar, who was already thin, had become even thinner.

During the improvement of some annoying potions, Su Xiao chose to eat a Soul Crystal to calm down. This thing was not only delicious but could also settle his mood.

At 9:00 PM the next day, candlelight flickered in the laboratory. Su Xiao lightly shook the test tube in his hand, and the ice-blue potion inside emitted a faint light.

"Succ... eeded?"

Caesar, who looked like he had inhaled Golden Fertilizer, spoke with a trembling voice. Facts proved that making Caesar lose money was no different from stabbing him a few times.

"Hmm, succeeded."

Upon receiving a definitive answer, Caesar clenched his fists.

【Potion: Ice Soul.】

Origin: Holy Flame Apothecary

Quality: Gold

Type: Buff Potion

Effect 1: After drinking this potion, the abnormal effects endured by the soul will be significantly reduced, and the effect lasts for 37 natural days.

Rating: 379 points

Introduction: The slumber of the spirit, madness stops at the heart.

Caesar's trembling hand picked up the Ice Soul potion. With a start, the subsequent concoction was much simpler.

"You'll be the one selling this stuff, no problem, right?"

"Absolutely no problem!"

Caesar seemed to hear the crisp sound of silver coins falling. He couldn't wait to find a witch right now and sell the Ice Soul potion to them at a 'conscience price' of 9851 silver coins, instantly recouping his costs.

"My dear friend, for this potion, Caesar suggests 68 silver coins per bottle."

The price Caesar proposed was the cost price.

"Fine, selling about 20 bottles is enough, or find a 'Big Mouth'."

The Big Mouth Su Xiao mentioned was not a physiological description, but a witch who was good at spreading news.

"I know a gray witch named Glass. His mouth is big enough. Sending him 200 silver coins is enough. If it succeeds, just give him a bottle of potion for free."

Caesar was such a clever person; he immediately understood Su Xiao's meaning. The initial Ice Soul potions had to be sold at a low price so that the witches would know there was such a potion that was both cheap and had an explosive effect.

An hour later, after Su Xiao concocted 20 bottles of Ice Soul potion, Caesar left excitedly with the potions, accompanied by Baja.

Su Xiao opened the tablet and watched the video image transmitted back by Xiang Bubu Wang again. In the video image, there was a stone door three meters wide and five meters high. It was uneven, and cracks could be vaguely seen. This stone door was located within the thirtieth floor of the Witches' Association.

Xiang Bubu Wang had tried to enter, but no matter what method he used, he couldn't pass through this stone door. There was a twisted energy inside the stone door blocking him.

Xiang Bubu Wang's side wasn't going smoothly, while Caesar, who was in the underground market, had already found his first customer. This was a man with a slightly chubby figure and skin as rough as sandpaper—Hook-Tongue Glass. Other witches called him that, implying that this guy's mouth was annoying and his tongue should be hooked to hang him up, so that he would shut up.

When Glass met Caesar, it was clearly meeting a rival, plus the foul-mouthed Baja; Glass chose to remain silent for the time being.

"This is the Ice Soul potion you mentioned? It looks... not bad, right?"

Glass raised his hand to grab the potion in Caesar's hand. Caesar threw it to him directly, which made Glass very suspicious, as he knew how stingy Caesar was.

After hesitating for a moment, Glass drank a small sip of the Ice Soul potion. If it weren't for Caesar's position in the Witches' Association, Glass wouldn't have drunk this potion so easily.

Glass's brows gradually furrowed. According to Caesar, the Ice Soul potion was the perfect substitute for the Dead Soul potion. But after drinking the Ice Soul potion, he didn't taste the usual fishy, spicy, and pungent smell; instead, there was a faint, sweet aftertaste in his mouth.

In doubt, Glass tilted his head and drank the remaining potion. He slowly exhaled, his eyes losing focus. He felt a cool sensation rushing rapidly toward his brain, and the babbling sounds in his ears that made him restless gradually disappeared.

"Ah~"

A slightly trembling moan came from Glass's mouth, and he shivered. He looked at the empty test tube in his hand, then at Caesar, his eyes full of disbelief.

At this moment, Glass's thought was that compared to the Ice Soul potion, the Moen family's Dead Soul potion was simply bottled urine. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

"Glass, this is 200 silver coins. I want more people to know about the existence of the Ice Soul potion. If more than 50 witches buy the Ice Soul potion from me, the Ice Soul potion you need for the rest of your life will be covered by me, Caesar."

Caesar jumped onto the steps and put his arm around Glass's shoulder.
