Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 71: Chapter 71 The Effects of Swift Secret Medicine

“Gugug~Gugug”

At the workbench, sounds were emanating from the crucible. Tang Qi’s eyes were filled with intense seriousness as his hands continuously picked up various materials beside him, patiently adding them bit by bit, while a stream of information naturally flowed through his mind.

Now, he was in the activated state of the skill “Secret Medicine”.

“Swift Secret Medicine recipe, the main ingredients are a dried Two-tailed hunting lizard, a bag of explosive earth star spores, and a small cup of Yellow-eyed Rattlesnake venom… Precautions, strictly follow the order and nodes to add the materials, if the Extraordinary Power is not effectively extracted, it may cause explosions or other unforeseen consequences.”

When this piece of information passed, Tang Qi’s mind simultaneously recalled the first and second trials he conducted seconds and tens of seconds ago.

Both attempts ended in failure.

...

The first attempt had no abnormalities, but the second one exploded, splattering him with a mushy substance.

Now, this was the third attempt.

After compiling various strange materials in the crucible, it once again turned mushy, the colors swirling as if it was a pot of overcooked wilderness mushroom porridge, the pungent odor continuously drifting out and constantly stimulating Tang Qi’s nostrils.

Tang Qi, restraining the urge to sneeze, slowly picked up a cup of yellow Rattlesnake venom and poured it into the crucible.

The timing, the node, seemed to be just right.

“Gududu~Bo”

As the venom was poured in, a marvelous reaction occurred inside the crucible.

The filthy mush suddenly became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, disgusting bubbles formed and then shattered with a popping sound. Each time one burst, the liquid became clearer, and when the last bubble burst, what appeared in Tang Qi’s eyes was a pot of liquid as clear as water.

Curiously, even though there was no wind in the room, the liquid in the crucible began to ripple on its own, wave after wave, as if it had its own life.

“Success!”

This awe-inspiring scene also stirred excitement in Tang Qi.

Almost immediately, his gaze focused on the liquid.

Sure enough, a familiar interface popped up.

[Curios: Swift Secret Medicine.]

[Quality: Common.]

[Information Fragment One: It is a complete Secret Medicine, consuming it can grant faster speed, the amplification effect is limited by the consumer’s physical condition and spiritual power.]

[Information Fragment Two: It is also the starting point of the Phantom Secret Medicine series from the Original Secret Medicine School.]

“The third attempt succeeded, consistent with my speculation.”

Delighted, Tang Qi transferred the Secret Medicine inside the crucible into a pre-customized glass bottle.

Simultaneously, his gaze inadvertently shifted to himself.

The skill column, as anticipated, had undergone changes.

[Secret Medicine: Knowledge from the Original Secret Medicine School, Realm: Beginner; Progress: 1%.]

“Hmm?”

While the front part was normal, the progress rate at the back made Tang Qi involuntarily reveal a surprised expression.

His skills, including the Meditation Method practiced daily, all had very slow progress. When he just began, it even started from tenths of a percent. Unexpectedly, upon beginning Secret Medicine, it started from one percent.

“Perhaps, Secret Medicine is somewhat different, or perhaps, the increase later will not be as much?”

Tang Qi speculated briefly, opting not to continue with the fourth trial immediately, but instead looked at the Secret Medicine in his hand with eagerness.

“Try it?”

With that thought, Tang Qi had no hesitation, directly unplugging the bottle stopper. Tilting his head back, he guzzled down the clear liquid with a gulp.

Cool!

Abdominal swelling!

The reaction came abnormally fast. @@novelbin@@

After drinking the Secret Medicine, Tang Qi first felt a cool sensation enveloping him, then his abdomen began to swell, but when Tang Qi looked down, he saw his abdomen was still flat, unchanged. It was as if the swelling was just an illusion, or something happening on another level.

The swelling increased, and began to involve his entire body; Tang Qi felt like a balloon being gradually inflated.

Even his thoughts began to spread and expand.

This was not a pleasant experience; it reminded him of the Blood Flower Evil Spirit.

Just as Tang Qi was struggling to do something, suddenly, a “hiss” came from the void, as if something had punctured the balloon.

Everything returned to normal.

Tang Qi once again felt his body, this time, it was different.

He felt lighter, the air seemed less resistant, his feet slightly itchy, a strange impulse emerging at the bottom of his heart.

“This light feeling is quite marvelous.”

“Bang~”

Suddenly, Tang Qi moved, adopting a pose from the Chaga Fighting Technique, and charged out like a cheetah.

“Whoosh~”

Initially, Tang Qi seemed to hear the sound of the wind.

Then he opened his eyes and saw his home’s doorway.

This?

The terrifying speed might have already surpassed that of the Blank Dog-faced Man.

In such a short time, Tang Qi couldn’t quantify the difference in speed before and after taking the Secret Medicine, but from that moment, Tang Qi reckoned, if he were to race with the Dog-faced Man again, he wouldn’t need to sacrifice a hand to decrypt Blood Python No.1.

Within the snug living room, Tang Qi began to practice Chaga Fighting Techniques, some previously difficult moves now done with ease, the Swift Secret Medicine not just simply enhancing speed but also seemingly reconstructing his body, tiny but significant adjustments.

If he were to face the Dog-faced Man again, Tang Qi wouldn’t even need to sacrifice an arm; just relying on the miraculous boost from the Secret Medicine and his Fighting Skills would be enough to kill the Dog-faced Man.

After a good fifteen minutes, Tang Qi adapted to his new body and once again approached the workbench, a smile on his lips, saying: “I am now very much looking forward to the Phantom Secret Medicine of the Second Sequence.”

Though he mentioned looking forward to the Phantom, Tang Qi still started to prepare the Swift Secret Medicine.

The effects of the medicine had been tested, but others still needed experimenting.

Fifteen seconds later, Tang Qi had another bottle resembling clear water in his hand, looking at the progress turned into 1.1%, he muttered: “It seems, it’s because of the bonus from first-time success? I’ll prepare some more, then aim for the next stage.”

“Gurgle~gurgle”

…

“It’s almost certain, it was a first-time success bonus, perhaps there’s one every time a recipe succeeds?”

Looking at ten bottles of Swift Secret Medicine neatly lined up in front of him, and the progress now at 2.1%, Tang Qi muttered to himself.

After thinking for a while, without delay, he stored the ten bottles of medicine.

Then, inwardly he declared: “Begin, the Second Sequence!”

The materials on the workbench were all used up, so he just needed to arrange the ingredients for the Phantom Secret Medicine.

Soon, the brand new materials were neatly placed on the bench.

Tang Qi didn’t hesitate, simply activating the “Secret Medicine School” Skill in his mind.

“Buzz~”

A flurry of Information Fragments suddenly flowed past at that moment.
