Chapter 4140: Harvest

~10 min read 1,869 words

"Xia De, you just solved the skin-objects, and now you're going to deal with demons again?"

Dorothy asked, pursing her lips. Xia De immediately shook his head:

"I'm not a proper demon hunter; I just need to do some preliminary investigations. The demon matter is not a big deal, at least not a big deal like attacking the 【Skin-Object Hall】."

Xia De stretched his arms and stretched:

"Speaking of which, I have to go find Mr. Bernhardt tomorrow to ask about his harvest at the Charming Ladies' Club. I don't know if he found the local high-level blood species."

Seeing Xia De in a state of not being able to stop, Luvia and Dorothy were both distressed and helpless, because they knew that things would develop faster and faster, and Xia De's choice was the correct one.

"Let's pause tonight's night class. Leixia and I haven't prepared anything."

However, the writer lady could at least use this method to let Xia De rest.

Xia De did not oppose pausing tonight's night class. As for when to adjust the time of this night class, it depended on the subsequent arrangements.

He continued to organize his harvest this time. He didn't forget the "Spark Source Secret Art" stored in his library. He took out the book and handed it to Luvia and Dorothy to check, and didn't forget to urge:

"The 'False Life Skin' secret art recorded in here, you should all learn it. This secret art can resist flesh-and-blood aberration. If I have to use the 'Flower of Corroded Moon' in the future, you can at least resist it."

As for the suitcase, besides a large pile of text materials and the used crystal ball, there was also a small ceramic jar. The jar was very small, tied tightly with a red rope, and looked quite well-sealed.

Dorothy found the introduction to the small jar. Just a few lines of letters clearly wrote the function of the potion contained within—

【Xia De, I made this potion from a small part of the black placenta left after the death of the Pantanal Xiewu 【Life】 obtained from the factory. Take it for three days, three times a day, it will be helpful for the condition of the Chaos Great Witch you mentioned.】

The gorgeous floral letters were clearly Miss Feilian's handwriting. And what was contained in the small ceramic jar was black, viscous, ointment-like substance, which didn't look very appetizing.

"The placenta was left behind after we defeated the evil thing forged by the four furnaces and the evil thing completely disappeared. According to the information I obtained at the time, the placenta can repair any flesh-and-blood damage, and may even promote the evolution of life."

Xia De explained to Luvia and Dorothy, and then asked with a smile:

"Do you want to taste the flavor? Just tasting a little won't delay Vigo's treatment."

The girls shook their heads immediately:

"This thing doesn't look delicious. Look, even Little Mia didn't come over."

But in fact, Little Mia did take a look, but the cat didn't even have the interest to sniff it, and jumped onto the sofa, flicking its tail.

The girls had no interest, so Xia De dipped some black ointment with his finger and put it into his mouth to feel it. In fact, he was also to prevent this ointment from changing its nature after being stored in the 【Skin-Object Hall】 for so many years.

"How is the taste?"

Dorothy asked curiously. Xia De smacked his lips:

"Hmm... it feels like caviar and ink mixed with rust, stored in a damp cave for three years, and finally mixed evenly with bone meal."

"I'm curious how you tasted such a complex flavor, but it's expected that the taste is strange. How is the effect?"

Luviya asked again.

"Without being affected by the skin items, after Vige eats all of these, it should be able to make her physical condition better than it is now, but it only raises the lower limit and does not affect her upper limit.

For a Ringed Shushi without physical damage, this is an excellent healing secret medicine. However, ordinary people must not touch this thing, otherwise, flesh and blood distortion will definitely occur. This ointment only used a small part of that black placenta. I think Miss Feilian should have also considered that too many magic potions might not be able to be delivered to my hands, otherwise, the whole placenta might have been able to make Vige's situation even better."

He closed the lid of the small ceramic jar again, placed the jar on the coffee table, and planned to wait until Vige came up from the underground palace to give it to her.

Luviya and Dorothy continued to check the materials in the suitcase, laughing from time to time as they commented that those ancient witches were very good to Xia De. Seeing that there was nothing in the box other than the manuscripts, Xia De sorted out his other gains from this morning alone.

The final mission of the 【Polluted Blood Factory】 allowed him to harvest a great many useful sorcery spells. Miss Feilian's "Source of Life Fire Secret Art" is worth Xia De's careful study, and the already mastered "Life Fire Form" and "Red Moon Nourishment"—one allows Xia De to transform his flesh and blood body into pure energy, and the other allows the Red Moon to possess some properties of the life fire seed.

"Moonlight."

He lowered his head and summoned red moonlight in his palm. The cat illuminated by the moonlight squinted its eyes and "meowed," and Dorothy also looked over:

"I feel vitality. It's really strange. This is just pure moonlight; how can it show healing effects without using sorcery?"

"I think I am walking on another path; the essence of flesh and blood reproduction represented by the red moonlight is being unearthed by me."

He withdrew the moonlight and summoned the life fire seed again. Then, under the gaze of Luviya and Dorothy, he turned the fire seed into a solid form. This is the effect obtained after the second sublimation of the sorcery 【Life Ray】.

Xia De had previously turned moonlight into a solid form, but that required "Moonlight Water" as a medium. But at this moment, he truly achieved the direct transformation of energy into solid matter.

Although the solid form transformed from life energy can only exist for a very short time, this still means a lot to Xia De. "Creation" itself is a process from void to reality. When listening to the first sentence of the "Emerald Tablet," Xia De obtained 【Life】, and Vige obtained 【Creation】. And now, Xia De, starting with "Life," is also moving toward creation.

"I feel that the gains from your trip to the Fifth Era this time are greater than the previous two combined."

Luviya said, and Xia De nodded:

"I have no intention of letting myself walk the path of life, but now life and the red moon have been linked together by me. Although different, they are similar; this is very interesting."

Since the topic turned to the factory trip, Xia De shared the secrets he didn't have time to mention at noon with Luviya and Dorothy. The third form of life, the Sea of Origins, the insane First Child—he even talked about the relationship between 【Mercury Blood】 and 【Active Metal】 mentioned by Miss Feilian.

These secrets related to ancient mythology would not cause too much mental burden for Luviya and Dorothy today. Dorothy was purely interested in these mythological stories, while Luviya thought of much more:

"Xia De, in your view, is the so-called Sea of Origins similar to true death?"

Xia De shook his head:

"True death is a concept. Whether it is the Underworld Beach or that silent black water area, they are just landscapes formed after observation. But the red ocean we passed through on our way back to the real world in the coffin, in my view, is a space that truly exists.

It may not belong to the material world, but its spatial structure is normal and stable."

He recalled the appearance of that insane, terrifying creature again. Even though he has seen many terrible things, Xia De still thinks that thing is terrifying:

"And since the insane First Child exists there, it means that at least that place is not a place manifested by concepts."

Dorothy asked curiously:

"Luviya, do you think that so-called Sea of Origins is important?"

Luviya nodded:

"Since the old witch said she saw the guidance of fate, and fate believes it is necessary for Xia De to know about that place, then I have reason to make a guess: perhaps the Sea of Origins is related to this Chosen One ceremony."

"The venue for the Chosen One ceremony?"

Dorothy guessed again:

"But Arcadia City is a mountainous city; it is very far from any ocean."

"If that ocean really wants to appear, it won't necessarily appear in the form of an ocean... Xia De."

The purple-eyed girl pondered for a moment and looked at Xia De again:

"How strong do you think that insane First Child is?"

This question is not easy to answer. Although it seemed that the hissing of two cats at the same time stopped that thing at the time, Xia De believes that it was actually the timely closing of the coffin that saved everyone.

"This..."

Xia De recalled carefully and touched the soft cat by the way:

"If it were in that red ocean, I definitely couldn't beat it. Even if you add thirteen-tier witches like Vanessa and Xivi, plus Iluna, Sister Daelin, and the Butterfly Girl, they still couldn't beat it. As long as that red ocean does not dry up, it is invincible.

My feelings about that thing are very complicated: disordered life, evil holiness, crazy order... There is no way to describe it; only by seeing it can one understand that feeling. However, everyone at the time agreed on one point: any normal life would feel instinctive fear when seeing it. The current state of that thing..."

He thought for a long time but couldn't find the right vocabulary:

"It's very terrifying. However, I only saw it in a hurry at the time and didn't feel it more carefully, so the information I provided can only be used as a reference."

Luviya nodded gently, and Dorothy asked again:

"Xia De, do you think there is only one insane First Child in that ocean?"

"There is a high probability that there is more than one."

Xia De replied:

"If this Chosen One ceremony requires the Chosen One to face this kind of thing, I can guarantee that no matter what strange races are created later, they will definitely not be able to compete with that kind of thing, even Sister Daelin's Fated Death probably won't work."

In fact, from the Outsider's point of view, unless he ignites his divinity and transforms into a god, there is nothing in the material world of this era that can defeat them.

Of course, if that thing could appear outside that Sea of Origins, things would have to be discussed separately.
