"Alright, Anlius, I won't tease you any longer. The truth is, I'm here to make a deal with you." Sitting comfortably in his chair, Ye Wumeng spoke slowly.
"What kind of deal?"
"Well, it's nothing too complicated. I just want to know how to use this high-quality base liquid for some special potions. You see, I entered the field of Pharmacology a bit late, and this base liquid in my hands can only be used as a regular base liquid, which doesn't provide me much help. So I'm just curious. If you can answer my questions, this base liquid will be yours."
Ye Wumeng remembered that Corpse Energy Base Liquid was an essential ingredient for certain special potions.
"What kind of special potions are we talking about?"
From Anlius's reaction, it seemed he knew something.
Hearing this, Anlius felt a slight relief. "Oh, is that all? I thought it was something more significant." He shook his head. The knowledge about the Corpse Energy Base Liquid was common sense among most Alchemists. However, considering that Ye Wumeng only had a single copy of the Pharmacology Compendium, Anlius understood.
"See? This is what happens when you don't take me as your master! Now you're getting a precious potion for free!"
Laughing heartily, Anlius suppressed a grin and finished his glass of Wheat Juice. He stood up confidently and swaggered in front of Ye Wumeng, his voice laced with pride.
"Ahem, let me first explain the terms 'Corpse Energy' related to this Corpse Energy Base Liquid, so you can understand what I'm about to say next."
"Some time ago, the land beneath us suddenly erupted with a strange energy called Corpse Poison. It is said that during that time, everything in the world was infected. This Corpse Poison contains a substance known as Corpse Energy."
"Corpse Energy possesses extraordinarily powerful abilities. Those who survived managed to establish a foothold in this world filled with Undead thanks to Corpse Energy. As time went on, the field of Pharmacology emerged, leading to more in-depth research on Corpse Energy. By extracting the Corpse Energy from the bodies of the Undead, one can obtain the Corpse Liquid."
With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke leisurely while Ye Wumeng listened intently.
"I never expected there was such a history behind it. Can this Corpse Energy help me? Can I use it to concoct a potion that cures Corpse Poison?"
Seemingly getting into the groove of his explanation, Anlius pulled out another can from the box containing the Wheat Juice, opening it with ease. Meanwhile, Ye Wumeng also skillfully retrieved and opened another can from Anlius's box.
"When boasting, one should have a drink!"
Due to the extraction process and methods associated with the Corpse Energy Base Liquid, most of it cannot be enhanced to saturation. However, your vial is an exceptionally rare saturated version of the Corpse Energy Base Liquid.
"Ahem, I digress. Because of the powerful force of Corpse Energy, potions like the Spatial Shifting Potion, Gene Fragment Breakthrough Potion, and the Cell Telomere Repair Agent (which can be understood as longevity) all require the participation of the Corpse Energy Base Liquid.
Unfortunately, it seems your Corpse Energy Base Liquid has low efficacy and hasn't reached first-tier status; however, it is still an extremely rare saturated base liquid and is almost equivalent to first-tier."
His face was slightly flushed, as if he were a bit drunk, and he kept shaking the jar in his hand, gazing at the light blue potion while chuckling to himself.
"Can the Corpse Energy Base Liquid be used to create a healing potion for Corpse Poison?" Ye Wumeng suddenly asked.
Anlius, without a moment's thought, blurted out, "Impossible. No potion can counteract Corpse Poison."
He abruptly snapped back to reality mid-sentence, the drunkenness gone, and awkwardly added, "Ahem, I misspoke. How could Corpse Poison be compared to Corpse Energy Base Liquid? Hey, brother, can you hear me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wumeng immediately put on a drunken expression, swaying as if he might collapse at any moment.
Knowing his secret, Anlius wondered what this old man might do next. However, he had clearly heard Anlius's slip of the tongue. His heart sank. If they couldn't even produce the Corpse Energy Base Liquid, then it was certain that Hu Xu's recovery stemmed from his own mutation—one word could describe it: miracle.
This was the first time he felt lost. What should he do? Wait until he could dig up a corpse? Rely on luck? Or replicate a miracle? Could he even accomplish that?
Suddenly, Ye Wumeng felt a series of urgent thuds and vibrations coming from the floor of the small room. What was beneath the floor? Before he could think further, Anlius hurried over to him and supported him with one arm, forcefully dragging him toward the door.
"Uh, brother, you should really go rest for a bit in your current state."
To avoid revealing anything, Ye Wumeng allowed himself to be helped outside, then swayed unsteadily as he stumbled back along the path he had come from. Anlius watched nervously as Ye Wumeng disappeared from his line of sight and let out a sigh of relief.
He quickly shut the door of the small room and stepped onto the trapdoor that led underground before hastily entering. The thudding sounds ceased, and Anlius emerged from the basement entrance covered in blood, a grin spreading across his face as he let out a series of sinister chuckles.
He never expected that this potion would also make significant progress. Ha ha! By the way, I can still squeeze a bit more out of him; after all, this nearly first-tier Corpse Energy Base Liquid, while not exactly rare, is still not easy to come by. He chuckled to himself.
With that thought, he hurriedly covered the floor and walked over to sit at the table. He donned his Mechanical Glove and inserted a Blue Card. A blue beam shot into his eyes, and the familiar blue screen appeared once again.
Connecting to the leader's Blue Card.
[Connecting, please wait...]
About a minute later, a calm male voice resonated in Anlius's mind.
I should have mentioned that at this time, you shouldn't connect via card. Hmph, what is it?
Hearing this voice, Anlius felt a surge of excitement. "I’ve made groundbreaking progress in my experiments! The survival time of the latest generation of test subjects has reached days! Also, I have some leads on the matter you entrusted me with."
"Well done. You must have more than just this for the connection."
The voice in his mind remained steady, neither happy nor sad.
"Of course! As you know, something like the Telomere Repair Agent requires at least first-tier Corpse Liquid. I've already contacted a seller, but as you know, I don’t have many coupons on hand. I'm counting on the Reward from this operation. What do you think?"
"Understood. I'll have someone send you ten thousand. If that's not enough, we can discuss it further. I trust your efficiency; don’t let me down."
*Cough cough* "Of course, of course!"
Anlius beamed with servility, nodding vigorously.
"Mm."
[The other party has hung up.]
Ten thousand! Hahaha! Free money!
Anlius was filled with exhilaration, blood rushing through him as he held the bottle of Corpse Energy Base Liquid left by Ye Wumeng, his face breaking into a smile that crinkled like a blooming flower.
To obtain such a high-grade potion in such a remote city—Ye Youcai! Oh Ye Youcai! I truly misjudged you before! Hahaha!
He gazed at the light blue Corpse Energy Base Liquid and murmured to himself before carefully placing the vial back into his pocket with a grin. He removed the Mechanical Glove and descended into the basement, changing into a pair of pristine rubber gloves.
Now then, let’s begin the experiment.
Across from him, a heart was slowly pulsating in an unknown liquid. Upon closer inspection, it was not an Undead heart but rather... human.
