Chapter 126: Belated Birthday Gift

It was like a cool breeze blowing on one’s face, but also like a long dry land being moistened by the spring rain.

Bai Wushang found it difficult to remain calm.

“Aunt Lu, how did you do it?”

“Putting aside the technical difficulties, the design intention of my potion is to combine thousands of long-life extraordinary creatures.”

Speaking of scientific research, Yang Luqi was in high spirits.

“My idea is that since we can’t reverse the difference in absolute strength, we should use a large amount of life essence to fill in the gap and delay the growth of the blood flower as much as possible.

“In principle, as long as an individual infected by the blood poison can continuously provide life essence, it won’t break out of its body.

“The blood flower will only bloom when your flesh and blood are completely exhausted and no more nutrients can be provided.”

After a pause, Yang Luqi did not forget to remind him.

“Unfortunately, there is an element of trickery in this method of resistance. The side effects are very obvious.

“As the blood poison repeatedly absorbs the life essence, it will become fatter and greedier. The consequences will be difficult to predict.

“I can only use this medicine as a backup choice for you. When you are truly at the end of your rope, then you can take it.”

Bai Wushang relaxed his brows and smiled brightly. “Aunt Lu, it’s already not easy to have such an effect!”

From his point of view, this was one of the few rays of sunshine in the ten years of darkness.

Moreover, Yang Luqi’s tone was light.

Bai Wushang knew the difficulty of developing the potion. It required a lot of time, energy, wealth, and even luck.

“Alright, one last thing.”

Yang Luqi looked at the time and took out a metal box from her storage ring.

She said calmly, “The things in this box are a little token of my appreciation. It’s a belated birthday gift to congratulate you for coming of age at sixteen.”

Bai Wushang did not expect that there would be a surprise. He took the box carefully.

He opened the box and saw two rows of 15 vials of the potion.

“This is the Blood Potion that I concocted. Its effects tend to be more commonly used.

“The upper row is for the Master to consume. It covers Soul Power recovery, internal injury treatment, and abnormal state defense. On the other hand, the lower row is for pet beasts. There are relevant instructions and precautions. Take a look for yourself.”

Yang Luqi said in a somewhat nonchalant manner.

“These... are all ultra-high-quality potions, right? Each one is worth no less than 4,000 gold coins...”

Bai Wushang muttered to himself. He was truly shocked by Aunt Lu’s “little token”.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he could no longer move.

At the bottom of the box, there was a crimson-gold jade talisman the size of a palm.

“This... This Is...”

Bai Wushang was shocked, and his heart stopped for a moment before it started to beat faster and faster.

“That’s right, it’s a great teleportation talisman.”

Yang Luqi seemed to be satisfied with Bai Wushang’s reaction, and she smiled, “I received a huge order, and this is the deposit.”

“I have Mei Sha protecting me, and I’m in the Mountain and Sea Academy, so I’m not worried about my safety. I’ll give it to you as well.”

“Hiss...”

Bai Wushang suppressed the shock in his heart and bowed very seriously. “Thank you, Aunt Lu!”

The great teleportation talisman was something that only a top-tier rune master could create.

After crushing it, one could ignore all spatial seals below the Holy Throne and teleport thousands of kilometers away to escape.

This was truly a life-saving item!

It was something that countless Masters dreamed of!

However, this item was priceless. No amount of gold coins could buy it!

Bai Wushang had heard of it before and coveted it, but he had never seen its true appearance.

Now that the real thing was right in front of him, in the palm of his hand, the feeling was really hard to describe.

It was like having an extra life! A chance to survive a desperate situation!

“Aunt Lu, this gift... is really too valuable. Thank you!”

Bai Wushang thanked her profusely.

Yang Luqi smiled and said calmly,

“I can’t provide many physical items. Don’t count on me for gold coins. I’m heavily in debt myself.”

“However, I’m good at making blood potions. If you still need them in the future, you can contact me through the wristwatch to reserve them. I’ll sell them to you at half the market price. Remember, they’re for your own use only. You can’t sell them to the public.”

“I understand,” Bai Wushang replied.

Another hour and a half passed, and Yang Luqi checked her wristwatch more frequently. Bai Wushang raised one last question.

“Aunt Lu, I heard Sister Shasha say that you invented this wristwatch.”

“Yes, what about it?” Yang Luqi looked at him.

“I just feel that if the wristwatch is so powerful, why haven’t I seen it anywhere else in the Great Qian Dynasty?”

“I’ve been studying the metal ball for so many years. I came up with the idea by chance and made it

“It was just an accidental invention of mine. My research focus is not on it. I’ll be satisfied if I can make some money from it.”

Yang Luqi explained casually, “If I really wanted to study the wristwatch in an immersive way, I could update countless versions and designs. But so far, there are only the first-generation products. Many of the functions inside are incomplete, especially after leaving the academy and losing the signal tower. It is just a piece of scrap metal without any value.”

Bai Wushang did not quite understand. “Why is that? It’s obviously a very valuable item. To some extent, it has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to communication talismans and transcendent creatures.”

“It’s not that the product has no potential, but the environment doesn’t allow it.”

Yang Luqi shook her head lightly, “As far as I know, the Great Qian Dynasty and many other places outside of the dynasty have very strong restrictions and management measures for high-end machinery products. Being able to have one in the academy is already the limit. Any more and it will be stopped.”

“So that’s how it is...” Bai Wushang suddenly understood.

“I’m going to carry out the next round of experiments. Do you want to sit for a while more, or...”

“No, I’m going to train too. Goodbye, Aunt Lu.”

Bai Wushang said goodbye to Yang Luqi and the Snake Lady, Mei Sha, and left the Research Tower.

“Ji, Ji, Ji!”

Almost the instant he left the Research Tower’s door, Milky Way strongly requested to come out and play.

“Alright, alright, look at how uncomfortable you are...”

Bai Wushang could not help but laugh as he hugged the little rabbit.

Immediately, he remembered something.

His smile gradually disappeared, and his brows furrowed slightly.

“Aunt Lu... specializes in blood-related things. Should I ask her to help examine Milky Way? Maybe we can find out the reason why its bloodline is so strong...”

“Ji, ji!”

As if sensing its master’s malicious intentions, the little rabbit shook its head like a rattle-drum, its face solemn.

“Why? You’re not willing?”

“Ji, ji!”

The little rabbit crawled into Bai Wushang’s clothes and curled up into a ball.

It refused to come out no matter what.

Bai Wushang spent quite a while coaxing it.

Through the contract, the feedback he received was...

First, the little rabbit did not like strangers touching it. No!

Second, the little rabbit did not like those machines and was very resistant!

Third, the little rabbit did not want its blood drawn. If it did not want it, it absolutely refused to!

Fourth, the little rabbit...

The little guy was extremely resistive to that idea and kept counting the reasons, it even wanted to stretch out his second paw to continue reasoning.

Bai Wushang pleaded helplessly, “Alright, alright. I won’t force you. Let’s leave it for now...”
