Chapter 72: Obscurity

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven"

In the small brick building, in front of the workbench, Tang Qi looked at the pot that had been covered in front of him and was muttering a countdown. It was quite peculiar, even though he was already in the state of skill activation, a tinge of tension could still be seen on his face.

Probably because the previous attempts all ended in failure.

"One!"

As he shouted, he yanked the lid with his hands.

Bang!

Another familiar sound of explosion sent Tang Qi's heart vibrating.

The first few times, the final result was also the same, because of a small mistake, the unfinished secret medicine exploded, giving Tang Qi a hard time. To extract the extraordinary power, once the mixing begins, all kinds of materials will undergo bizarre changes. If it was successful, it would be fine, but if it failed, the consequences would usually be no less than being made into a joke.

For example, in a certain explosion, the liquid smelled like the legendary canned herring. If it weren't for the fact that he had already taken the "Phantom Secret Medicine" of the second sequence, it would've ended very badly. For a few days, he wouldn't be able to go to class.

Even so, the floor of the house had suffered immensely.

So when he heard the explosion again, Tang Qi was unavoidably nervous.

His eyes swept over swiftly. Once he found something wrong, his figure would leave the place in an instant.

But this time, what happened was not an accident, but a very strange scene.

After the explosion, streams of black liquid gushed out of the pot, it seemed as if it was about to splash out the next moment and stain the entire table black. However, when these liquids overflowed in the pot, it appeared as if they were dragged by some force.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, all the liquid contracted back quickly, and then at the bottom of the pot, it turned into a weird "pupa."

It was a black as if forever fluctuating pupa.

"Did I succeed?"

"Buzz"

When his eyes began to glimmer and the familiar interface was about to pop out, Tang Qi immediately took a glass bottle and placed it beside the pupa, gently slinging it, and sure enough, it slowly entered the bottle and a new secret potion was born.

[Mysterious Object: Obscure Secret Potion. ]

[Quality: Excellent. ]

[Information Fragment one: It's an excellent secret potion. Take it, and you'll obtain an obscure body the amplification effect is limited by the physical quality and mental strength of the user. ]

[Information Fragment two: It's the Primal Secret Pharmacy School's third sequence secret potion of the Mist Most Series. ]

[Information Fragment three: Before taking it, you must have already consumed the Phantom Secret Potion, otherwise unknown consequences will occur. ]

"Phew~"

Tang Qi squeezed the glass bottle and exhaled.

At this time, his state looked a little tired, and his body was dirty. There were many blood streaks in his eyes. He carefully put away the newly born "Obscurity Secret Medicine". Instead of taking it immediately, he glanced silently at the clock on the wall.

In the evening, 8:15.

"A day has passed?"

Tang Qi fell into a trance, glanced at the sky outside the gap between the curtains, and found that everything was shrouded by darkness.

Although he was supported by the meditation method and his body had long been out of the scope of ordinary people, he still felt tired after a day's fighting in front of the workbench. Especially after he relaxed slightly under the joyous impact of the obscure drug's success. Every part of his body was protesting violently.

Now, Tang Qi understood why the school of "secret pharmacy knowledge" was overthrown. After all, according to the effects of various secret medicines, it was possible to arm a powerful and extraordinary army at will.

But now that he made it himself, he knew that the mass production of secret medicine is non-existent.

He had the special ability to turn the secret pharmaceutical arts into a skill to use. His success rate was far beyond that of ordinary secret pharmacists.

But even so, as the number of configurations increased, the success rate seemed to be constant at a certain value. Even if Tang Qi didn't care about the mental energy consumption, he had to pay more costs in order to bring more secret medicine.

Moreover, it was only the first series of secret medicines that he had touched the most. For each subsequent series, the success rate would be reduced again, and the cost would skyrocket.

He visualized its mass production and concluded that it was extremely difficult.

Besides, there were restrictions on the use of secret medicine.

There was only one chance for him to take the same secret medicine. If he took it again, the effect would not be overlapped.

And to take a higher sequence of secret medicine, the prerequisite was that the previous sequence had been taken. For example, to take the "Obscurity Secret Potion " the Phantom Secret Potion must have already been consumed first. Similarly, he had to take the Swift Secret Potion before them.

In addition to these, there were some subtle restrictions that fully illustrated the great saying that there was no best of both worlds.

Of course, this didn't affect Tang Qi's progress.

He didn't take the obscure secret medicine immediately. He washed first and then boiled himself a pot of nutritious, sweet, and fragrant shrimp and vegetable porridge. After comforting his belly, Tang Qi went into meditation directly before the workbench.

Meditation was more efficient and effective than sleep.

Sss!

The golden sun appeared in the darkness and nothingness after it was outlined

An hour later, Tang Qi woke up full of energy.

His previous tiredness was swept away.

Tang Qi came to the workbench again and glanced at the rows of secret medicines placed in the cold box. The most eye-catching secret potion was the one in the shape of a pupa. Then he took a look at himself. The progress behind the secret pharmaceutical arts on his skill bar had changed dramatically.

[Secret Pharmacy: the knowledge of the Primal Pharmacy School, state: entry; progress: 15.8%. ]

Probably even Tang Qi himself didn't expect that the Secret Pharmaceutical Arts, a skill that was only introduced a day ago, would catch up and outpace all the other skills.

It looked surprising, but the process was not complicated.

Before configuring the second sequence of secret medicine, the progress was 2.1%. After he succeeded, the progress increased instantaneously to 4.1%. In addition, he also consumed a lot of materials to make several more bottles of the Phantom Secret Potion, and the progress rose directly to 7.8%.

The current progress was caused by the successful creation of the Obscure Secret Potion.

With a bottle of obscure secret potion, the progress directly crossed the line of 10%.

"A higher-ranked secret medicine can bring more growth?"

"That's very reasonable, which makes me look forward to it even more. The fourth sequence is also the end of this series of strengthening secret potions. What will the progress look like after the success of the Mist Body Secret Potion?"

"Let's begin!"

Unexpectedly, instead of taking the obscurity secret potion directly as before, he cleared the workbench without delay and then moved the materials needed for the last sequence one by one.

He intended to tackle the last secret potion, the "Mist Body" in one go.

As the secret medicine of the final sequence, Tang Qi fetched fewer materials than he had imagined. Not mentioning the main materials, there were only a dozen of them.

However, the three main herbs in total were exceptionally eye-catching.
