Chapter 3588: Reminiscing
By the Silver Moon Lake, a ferry with a mechanical style started and sailed toward the island in the middle of the lake, carrying various equipment.
Su Xiao sat on the ship's side. It was not that he wanted to go to the island in the middle of the lake, but Sephiria arranged the location for formulating the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine there.
Using Sun energy as the energy for resonant compression certainly had a certain risk of explosion. If this was done in the lakeside dormitory, the other distinguished guests living inside would move out overnight.
There was one more point: the lakeside dormitory was not far from the "Zhongshi Academy." The lakeside dormitory being blown up was a small matter. If the explosion affected the "Zhongshi Academy," it would be troublesome.
Even with Sephiria's status on the Arcane Eternal Star, this matter was very difficult to handle. Fortunately, the location for formulating the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine was arranged on the island in the middle of the lake. First, there was the vast Silver Moon Lake as the first layer of insurance. Secondly, there was a passive defense barrier around the lakeside.
Su Xiao just happened to want to see the island in the middle of the lake, so he agreed to this location choice. If there was a wolf tomb of the Moon Wolves on the island in the middle of the lake, he could upgrade the 【Silver Moon Blade】 to the highest-tier Overlord equipment. Presumably, the 【Silver Moon Blade】 would have a qualitative change by then.
However, Su Xiao did not completely agree to move out of the lakeside dormitory. He used the excuse that the living conditions on the island in the middle of the lake were average, and let Sephiria find someone to set up a sufficiently stable teleportation array so that he could return to his room in the lakeside dormitory from the island in the middle of the lake in a short time.
The reason for doing so was to continue being neighbors with the Goddess of Luck. Although he wouldn't arrange this goddess yet, after the Arcane Celebration officially started for 2~3 days, it would be time to start arranging this goddess. As a neighbor, it was naturally more convenient to take action.
When the ferry stopped, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Under the moonlight, the island in the middle of the lake was not dark. A kind of silver-green light particle flew like fireflies.
Under the starry night, Su Xiao stepped on the soft soil covered with moss plants on the edge of the island and landed. The croaking of frogs around was endless, and the air was exceptionally fresh. Looking forward, the ten-meter-high stone tablet revealing blue-green faint light was particularly eye-catching, and the several moonlight greatswords inserted in front of the giant tablet were the same.
Stopping under the towering stone tablet, Su Xiao did not raise his hand to grasp the hilt of any moonlight greatsword, even though he felt that even if he were not a sword technique grandmaster, he could still use these moonlight greatswords, just like the Moon Wolves also mastered energy crystallization and abilities similar to the Devourer Core.
Su Xiao naturally would not do something like grasping the moonlight greatsword that would most likely expose his identity. He bypassed the stone tablet and arrived at a building one kilometer behind.
This building was overall a rock structure. Looking at the wind erosion traces, it was built decades ago. After walking into it, Su Xiao found that this was a place similar to a warehouse. There was one floor above ground and two floors underground. At this time, the two sides underground were opened up, becoming an underground space with a height of over ten meters and an area of thousands of square meters.
In the underground space, many large machines had already been placed here. What Su Xiao said before, about using Sun energy as resonant compression to formulate the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine, was not fooling the other party. To be precise, this was one of the methods for formulating the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine, but it was slightly improved. Anyone who came would not be able to pick out any flaws.
A lie needs more lies to make up for it, and finally, because of the falsehood presented by too many lies, it is identified by the enemy.
Su Xiao did not fabricate lies. Formulating the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine did indeed require this step. However, after the formulation was completed, slightly processing the solution in the resonant compression device would turn these solutions into liquid Apollo.
To be precise, Su Xiao was providing powerful resonant compression kinetic energy by manufacturing semi-finished liquid Apollo. In terms of liquid Apollo, he had invested a massive amount of time and energy a long time ago, and it finally came in handy now.
Before twelve o'clock that night, the alchemy laboratory that met the conditions for formulating the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine was finally set up. Looking around, the prompt lights of various machines, as well as the displayed working status, were dazzling.
Since Grin Wei was learning pharmacy with Su Xiao, she naturally followed along. She was sitting on a particle transfer machine, interpreting the patterns on the books. That focused look made one doubt whether she really had pharmacy talent.
Not only Grin Wei came here, but two others were also sent. They were old acquaintances, Hugh and Luen.
The task of these two coming here was said to be assistants and handymen, but in reality, they were responsible for monitoring Su Xiao's every move.
Don't look at this guy Hugh as if he were suffering from laziness cancer. He was one of the two people Lord Soul trusted most. Now he was the highest person in charge of the Arcane Eternal Star · Underground Prison, that is, the Warden. To some extent, the life and death of Raven Woman, Elemental Scholar · Heros, etc., were in Hugh's hands. This lazy guy, who seemed to be sitting on a giant magic energy guard and strolling around every day, had actually personally sent four out of ten prisoners in the underground prison inside. Soul Warden · Hugh did not have a good reputation in the outside world, or rather, it was not just Su Xiao who was on the road to becoming stronger. Hugh, who had once fought him to a draw, was also constantly moving forward.
Besides this guy Hugh, Luen came here to be responsible for observing the changes in Sun energy at all times. As a former energy-system top student of the "Zhongshi Academy," no one would doubt his observation and judgment in this regard.
"Mr. Saint Flame, if you have anything to order, don't be polite, just tell us two."
Luen spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao nodded and said: "Alright, you two go and lift all the Sun-characteristic materials in. Melt the Fire Essence here, soak the Sun Fragments in......"
Su Xiao arranged a series of tasks. Hearing this, the lazy ghost Hugh wished he could give Luen a friendly slap.
After Luen heard Su Xiao's instructions, he was stunned. He was just being polite, but things had reached this point, so he could only lift materials to the upper floor with the lazy ghost Hugh.
At two o'clock in the night, glass columns three meters thick were placed in a semi-circular order in the laboratory, revealing warm yellow faint light, and a large number of bubbles rose and fell in this warm yellow liquid.
"Finally finished. I'll take a nap."
Hugh leaned on the recliner. Before Luen could reply, he was already sleeping lightly. Seeing this, Luen spat out fragrance silently.
Ignoring the two, Su Xiao arrived in front of a machine resembling a furnace and started the initial process of potion formulation. Even if everything went smoothly, it would take two days.
Su Xiao opened the start valve. The next second, the warm yellow solution in a total of 15 glass columns all revealed a large number of bubbles, as if they were about to boil. Almost at the same time, an extremely terrifying fluctuation spread out.
Hugh and Luen stood up immediately. The hair on their bodies stood up. Just for a moment, this liver-trembling sense of crisis made cold sweat seep out of their backs.
"What's the situation?"
Hugh looked at Luen on the side. Luen smiled bitterly and said: "It should be...... normal situation."
Just when the two were still discussing how to deal with the situation just now, an even stronger sense of danger suddenly struck. This feeling was like facing a sun that was about to explode. They were so small and insignificant, as if in the next instant, they would be blown into ashes by the sun, and the ashes would be evaporated into gas by the high temperature.
For some reason, being in such danger, Hugh recalled when he was a child, climbing the "Great Bell Tower" with his good friends Luen and Raven Woman, only to be caught, and the days at the "Zhongshi Academy" afterward, and the subsequent various events.
Suddenly, Hugh's eyes widened a bit. He felt that this seemed to be seeing a revolving lantern.
"Steady, don't panic."
Just as Luen finished speaking, he found that Su Xiao had already rushed to the stairs leading up with Bernie, and on the side was Grin Wei holding a super-large book.
Luen and Hugh looked at each other. In turn, after Luen exclaimed "Oh my god," he suddenly disappeared with space abilities.
"Take me with you......"
Just as Hugh said half of his sentence, he found that his bad friend had already disappeared without a trace. Only to see Hugh turn into a black flame figure. The next instant, he penetrated the solid matter and appeared a hundred meters above the building.
A moment later, Su Xiao, Bernie, Grin Wei, Hugh, and Luen were all located behind the Moon Stone Tablet. Among them, Grin Wei poked her head out and looked at the building in the distance: "There was no explosion."
"Mr. Saint Flame, tell the truth, if those Sun solutions exploded, how powerful would it be?"
Luen spoke in a deep voice, obviously not wanting to say goodbye to this beautiful world.
"Rest assured, theoretically speaking, it won't explode."
Hearing Su Xiao say this, Luen and Hugh both had indescribable expressions.
"Since it won't explode, Mr. Saint Flame, why did you run first just now......"
"It won't explode, but it will burn. Stop talking nonsense, go back and continue."
Su Xiao walked toward the laboratory. Hugh and Luen followed helplessly. Grin Wei, who was further behind, followed very reluctantly. As for Bernie, it lay on the top of the stone tablet, planning to stay here tonight.
In the potion formulation, Su Xiao felt that time passed very quickly, but Hugh and Luen felt that a day was like a year. From the time this ghost potion started to be formulated, and the energy compressor started to run, Hugh, whose perception ability was terrifyingly strong, had already seen the revolving lantern more than ten times. By noon the next day, Hugh was haggard, and dark circles had appeared.
Two days later, Dawn Manor, in the winery.
Sephiria tasted the fruit wine in the cup. Seeming to be dissatisfied, her slender eyebrows frowned slightly. For her, who was extremely picky about wine, she was dissatisfied with her new work. That's right, brewing fine wine was one of Sephiria's hobbies.
Just at this moment, the elemental ring on her finger lit up with faint light. Seeing this, she put down the crystal cup in her hand. The next instant, she had arrived at the island in the middle of the lake of Silver Moon Lake from the winery of Dawn Manor.
Just arriving at this place, Sephiria saw a small tent standing in front. What surprised her even more was that her disciple Grin was sleeping soundly in the tent.
Sephiria didn't wake up her disciple. She walked into the building in front. Just arriving at this place, she felt inexplicably palpitated. The more she walked down the stairs to the underground laboratory, the more obvious this feeling was.
Down to the end of the steps, Sephiria opened a giant door that was half a meter thick and blessed by Luen with Golden Firmness, Eternal Seal Array Boundary, Firm Ice, etc. Not only that, the inside of this giant door was also pasted with a large number of soul runes created by Hugh, thereby further strengthening the strength of this giant door.
This made Sephiria's footsteps slow down subconsciously. When she walked into the laboratory, the first thing that came into view was Luen, who had dark circles and messy hair, and Hugh, who had sunken eye sockets on the side, looking like he had been sucked of his yang essence by a monster.
"You two are......"
Just as Sephiria opened her mouth, what greeted her were the resentful gazes of the two juniors in front.
"Lord Sephiria, I am a bit tired, so I will go back to rest first."
Luen spoke in a somewhat weak voice. In fact, it was no wonder he was like this. In these two days, those Sun solutions had a total of hundreds of times, all looking like they were unhappy and about to explode.
Luen estimated that if these Sun solutions exploded, most of Silver Moon Lake would have to evaporate. This was nothing, the key was that he had a not-low probability of being sent away by the sudden explosion.
Compared to him, Hugh, whose perception ability was pervertedly strong, was even more uncomfortable. In these two days, he had almost reviewed his life before, and the revolving lantern he saw was like watching a TV series, and it could even be connected.
"You two go back first." After Sephiria finished speaking, without waiting for Hugh and Luen to get up, she added: "Take a detour to the winery on the way back and take some Maple Glue for drinking."
"Thank you, Lord Sephiria."
"Thank you, Ms. Sephiria."
Luen and Hugh spoke in turn. The two had different titles for Sephiria. The former called her Lord because Luen had no regular job, while Hugh was the trusted confidant of Lord Soul.
After the two left, Sephiria arrived in front of the scorching energy compressor. Su Xiao was sitting in the main seat of the compressor, wearing metal protective gear on his head, and external nerve tentacles were climbing on his arms, allowing him to control the mechanical tentacles one by one, stabilizing the energy in the energy compressor. In the Sun energy that was scorching to the point of appearing golden, a ball of medicine liquid the size of a walnut was occasionally appearing in an irregular shape.
The Sun energy gradually gathered, and the translucent medicine liquid floating was collected by Su Xiao with a crystal bottle. When the temperature cooled down, the potion in the crystal bottle appeared faintly fluorescent green, as if thousands of active life forces were condensed in it.
Su Xiao pinched both ends of the crystal bottle with his middle finger and thumb. It had to be admitted that without the materials of the Arcane Eternal Star and the purchasing channels for various machines, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven to formulate this thing.
"It went smoothly. Your disciple Grin needs two bottles of Enlightenment secret medicine in total. This is the first bottle."
Su Xiao threw the 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine in his hand to Sephiria. Hearing that such a risky formulation had to be carried out once more, Sephiria felt displeased in her heart, but she asked in her usual tone: "Why not formulate two bottles together?"
"Why don't you do it?"
Su Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation toward the main seat of the energy compressor on the side, trying to deliberately enrage the other party.
Sephiria narrowed her eyes, but in turn said: "I was impatient."
Hearing this, Su Xiao looked at Sephiria sideways. He didn't expect Sephiria to back down, but thinking about it, it was because this matter was related to Grin. Otherwise, the other party would not back down. Thinking of this, he knew how to make the other party not calm.
"I only formulated the amount for one bottle, and the Hugh and Luen who monitored me were already as haggard as ghosts. If I increased the power and formulated two portions together, let alone the Zhongshi Academy near Silver Moon Lake, even the Void Great Library side would have to send people to the island to find trouble with me."
"It is indeed like this. It was my abruptness just now."
Sephiria backed down again. This made Su Xiao feel that the opportunity had come. He said as if chatting:
"Oh? Grin is so important to you? Whose cells did you use to cultivate her?"
"An... old friend."
"Old friend? I think it's an old lover."
Hearing Su Xiao say this, Sephiria stared straight at Su Xiao with a gaze that looked calm but actually made one's heart crawl.
Su Xiao was doing it on purpose. Sephiria, who was calm in a normal state, was more difficult to deal with.
Seeming to realize that he had touched on the past that Sephiria didn't want to mention, Su Xiao changed the subject: "The other bottle of Enlightenment secret medicine Grin needs, I will start formulating it after the Arcane Celebration ends."
"Not now?"
Just as Sephiria said this sentence, she discovered her lack of calmness. Under normal circumstances, she would not ask such an obvious question.
"Of course you can, but the premise is that you have to convince the Gale King, Dean Guya, and Lord Soul to allow me to start these Sun energy gathering devices during the Arcane Celebration."
Hearing Su Xiao say this, Sephiria said: "Then wait until the Arcane Celebration ends before continuing."
Just after Su Xiao and Sephiria finished talking, Grin Wei, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, walked in.
"Mr. Saint Flame, you! You can't treat me like this."
As soon as Grin Wei said this, the gaze Sephiria looked at Su Xiao with had a bit of coldness.
"How could I memorize more than 500 patterns in three days? I tried my best and only memorized 300. I don't want to sprout!"
Grin Wei had a look of both grievance and indignation. While speaking, she also touched her head. In her brain supplement, sprouting must start from the top of the head.
"......"
Su Xiao frowned. He didn't put the matter of tricking Grin Wei into saying that she drank a sprouting potion in his heart, and even forgot about it a bit.
The point of the problem was not that fake sprouting potion, that is, watermelon juice. The point was that Grin actually memorized 300 patterns in three days.
When Su Xiao had the opportunity to systematically contact these knowledge points, he also spent about three days memorizing more than 390 patterns. Only after that did he officially start his secondary profession · Pharmacist path.
Now Grin Wei memorized 300 patterns in three days. This was obviously true pharmacy talent.
If "good teammates" Wood and Sin Abyss were present, they would definitely laugh miserably. Wood would have to say: "White Night, really don't consider developing prophecy ability?"
"You come over." As Su Xiao spoke, he picked up the paper on the top of the machine on the side and threw it on the table: "Draw 300 introductory seal patterns. If one is missing, I'll stuff you in there."
Su Xiao pointed to the glass column containing Sun solution on the side. Seeing this, Grin Wei walked up somewhat uneasily and started to draw the pharmacy introductory seal patterns she had memorized before from memory.
Half an hour later, 300 pieces of paper with pharmacy introductory seal patterns were placed on the table in front of Su Xiao. This was something he didn't expect. He hadn't heard that Grin Gillian had talent in pharmacy before.
If "good teammates" Wood and Sin Abyss were present, they would definitely laugh miserably. Wood would have to say: "White Night, really don't consider developing prophecy ability?"
"Saint Flame, Grin's pharmacist talent didn't reach expectations?"
Sephiria spoke.
"It's okay."
"Then let her continue to learn from you?"
"Can."
After speaking, Su Xiao walked toward the teleportation device on the side and activated it. The next second, he returned to his residence on the third floor of the lakeside dormitory. Grin Wei also returned. Sephiria didn't know where she went. She should be going to determine whether that bottle of 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine had any problems.
Letting Grin Wei continue to study pharmacy diligently, Su Xiao sat on the single sofa. This formulation of 【Enlightenment】 secret medicine made him determine where his pharmacy limit was, a bit higher than estimated, but he couldn't slack off afterward.
Su Xiao glanced at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. Tomorrow morning was the day the "Arcane Celebration" was held, so the outside had already started to become lively tonight.
Every Arcane Celebration would be held for 5~7 days. The first day was an appetizer. The opening ceremony in the morning was too solemn, so Su Xiao didn't plan to go. Having a meal at the Great Banquet Hall at noon was fine, and he could take Bernie to eat to his heart's content.
The dinner at the Great Banquet Hall on the first night, the younger generation participating in the "Martial Arts Competition" would all be present by then.
Therefore, Su Xiao must go to the dinner at the Great Banquet Hall this time. This was related to whether his subsequent plans could continue.
On the second day, the auction at "Dawn Manor" in the evening, Su Xiao was actually quite interested. Alas, he was not well-off, so naturally, he had no interest.
On the third day, the "Martial Arts Competition" officially started. That was the opportunity Su Xiao was really waiting for.
Su Xiao thought to this point, the door was suddenly knocked. After letting Grin Wei open the door, he found that the visitor was a manager of "Dawn Manor." The manager's words made Su Xiao feel somewhat surprised. The other party said that a friend of his wanted to see him.
This identity of Pharmacist Saint Flame, the friends who could be put on the table publicly, only had White Bull and his subordinates. Like Sin Abyss and Wood, if they forcibly pulled a relationship, it would inevitably attract the suspicion of the Arcane Eternal Star.
Before long, under the reception of that manager, a pot-bellied dwarf goblin wearing a round suit, a short top hat, and a monocle on the bridge of his nose walked in.
This goblin claimed to be one of the shareholders of the Goblin Company. After verification through the contact between the Arcane Eternal Star and the Goblin Company, the goblin's identity was confirmed.
After the goblin shareholder walked into the room, he revealed a somewhat treacherous smile and happily said:
"My dear friend, I heard you were on the Arcane Eternal Star. I had just finished my business there, so I rushed over to reminisce with you."
Hearing the words of the "Goblin Shareholder," Su Xiao signaled the other party to sit down. He knew that the real good show was about to begin.
The "Good Teammate" quartet had gathered on the Arcane Eternal Star. ===== CHAPTER 3589 =====
