Chapter 547: Mind-calming Potion (2)
Finally, after some work, a new potion was produced.
Feng Qi took the mind-calming potion from Wei Wei again and drank it in one gulp.
This time, the duration of the medicine was increased by about two seconds, but the effect of the medicine was reduced. The effect was still not ideal.
Wei Wei couldn’t help but frown.
“Don’t be in a hurry to leave. I’ll try to add some more stimulating herbs and see if they can multiply the effect of the mind-calming potion.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
“Sister Wei, I’m not in a hurry. Take your time.”
At this moment, Wei Wei turned around and went to the control panel of the private laboratory to check the relevant information.
A few hours later, Wei Wei sorted out several modification plans by comparing the medicinal properties in the database.
Next, he followed Wei Wei to the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute’s resource bank.
The Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute’s resource bank was located on the eighth floor. When the elevator door opened, eight metal doors appeared in front of them.
Metal nameplates were still pasted in front of each metal door.
Spiritual Materials (Spiritual Plants) Refrigerated Storage, Spirit Stone Resource Bank, Spirit Mineral Resource Bank, Domain Creature Corpse Storage, Rune Crystal Storage, S-Cla.s.s Experiment Record Database, Domain Creature Blood Storage, and Special Resource Storage.
He followed Wei Wei to one of the refrigerated storages. After many verifications, the thick metal door slowly opened.
Before him stretched a corridor, roughly 30 feet in length, leading to a metal door at the far end.
After another round of verification, the second metal door opened.
A strong medicinal fragrance immediately a.s.saulted his nose.
What appeared in front of him was a huge resource bank. All the spiritual materials were neatly placed on different shelves and sorted.
There were also four Spiritual Qi manufacturing machines placed at the four corners of the storage. The spiritual stones inside were changed regularly to ensure that the Spiritual Qi content in this room was suitable for the preservation of spiritual plants.
At this moment, Wei Wei came to a computer and entered “Crystal Spirit Fruit” in the search list.
Immediately, a black frame popped up on the screen.
[Crystal Spirit Fruit (Coordinates): 8th column, 3rd row, 3rd position. Quant.i.ty: 3 tons]
After taking the Crystal Spirit Fruit according to the coordinates, Wei Wei came to the screen again and entered the next name.
After going back and forth several times, the spiritual materials needed for the experiment were all prepared.
During this period, Wei Wei took out some more Golden Rainbow Fruits that she didn’t have much in stock for the subsequent experiments.
After leaving the storage, he followed Wei Wei back to the private laboratory.
Next was the complicated experiment process. During this period, Feng Qi waited at the side to watch the entire process.
As soon as Wei Wei concocted a new mind-calming potion, he would go forward to taste it and tell her the effect.
However, after several attempts, the effect of the concocted mind-calming potion was not ideal.
In order to increase the medicinal effect, Wei Wei began to add stimulating spiritual materials.
This process was intricate. While incorporating stimulating herbs, Wei Wei also had to ensure that the effects of the other herbs would only complement the Golden Rainbow Fruit and not interfere with it.
If she wanted to achieve this balance, other than the support of experimental data, she could only continuously carry out experimental tests.
Wei Wei, who was engrossed in the experiment, lost track of time.
The next morning, Wei Wei concocted the 8th bottle of mind-calming potion.
This time, the potion was no longer pale gold, but light red.
“It’s ready. Let’s test the effect of the specially enhanced version. The medicinal potency might be more robust. The primary goal is to optimize the utilization of the Golden Rainbow Fruit’s medicinal effects. This time, we’re nearing the limit. Adding more stimulating herbs could compromise the medicinal efficacy of the Golden Rainbow Fruit.”
When he arrived in front of Wei Wei, Feng Qi reached out and took the potion from her hand.
Without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.
This time, when the medicine entered his mouth, it was no longer as tasteless as before. A spicy feeling rushed to his head.
Just like an inferior baijiu—a strong distilled spirit unavoidable at Chinese social functions—the smell was choking.
He forced himself to swallow the liquid in his mouth. The liquid slid down his throat, burning with pain along the way.
When the liquid entered his stomach, it immediately churned.
If it weren’t for Wei Wei personally providing him with the potion, he would suspect it to be poison and an attempt on his life.
However, he had absolute trust in Wei Wei.
The powerful recovery ability of his body was activated at this moment, allowing the small injuries to instantly heal.
At this moment, he felt as if a huge bell was ringing in his mind. He felt that the world in front of him began to spin and tilt. Then, it returned to normal and kept repeating.
The mental suppression also received positive feedback under the infiltration of the mysterious power.
This feeling lasted for about three minutes before it subsided.
The voice of the narrator sounded at this moment:
[This old woman is remarkable. I detected a mult.i.tude of dark clouds on your mental level, but the potion you just took actually dispelled one of those clouds. In other words, a portion of your acc.u.mulated negative emotions has been alleviated.]
“So, how many negative emotions are there on my mental level?” He immediately asked curiously.
[I didn’t count them in detail. There are about a hundred of them.]
After listening to the narrator, he turned to look at Wei Wei.
“Sister Wei, it’s effective this time, but the quant.i.ty is far from enough. I still need a large number of such potions.”
Wei Wei shook her head.
“The potion I brewed this time is highly invigorating. The usage intervals should not be too short. Each time you consume it, it’s akin to cleansing your mental consciousness. Excessive use may lead to damage to your mental strength. I suggest using it at s.p.a.ced intervals.”
[She’s right. Your body possesses an exceptionally robust self-healing capacity, but your mental consciousness lacks the innate ability to heal itself. The consumption of this stimulating mind-calming potion indeed requires intervals. During these periods, you must allow your mental consciousness to regulate itself.]
After hearing Wei Wei’s explanation, Feng Qi immediately nodded. Then, he looked at Wei Wei and asked.
“Sister Wei, how often do you think I should drink it?”
“I’m not sure yet. We need to test your mental strength first before deciding on the amount.”
Feng Qi nodded in agreement.
Next, he left the private laboratory with Wei Wei and arrived at the medical examination room.
In fact, his physical data, including mental strength data, was already stored.
However, every time he returned from a future dream, the strength of his body and mental power would change.
The previous data could no longer be used and needed to be tested again.
With Wei Wei’s help, he underwent a mental strength test.
After the test results were available, Wei Wei picked up the test report ejected from the testing instrument.
After scanning it, Wei Wei went to the medical equipment at the side and started operating it.
On the screen, his body data model appeared, and the data list of the mind-calming potion jumped out.
After making some guesses and comparisons, Wei Wei stood up and walked to Feng Qi.
“The results are out. Your mental consciousness self-regulation ability is not bad. You can drink 500 milliliters a day.”
“Isn’t it like drinking a bottle of medicine once a day?” Feng Qi was stunned.
[It can’t be helped. Unless you can find an innate ability to heal mental consciousness or obtain the ability to remember infinitely, entering a future dream with high intensity will only cause you to be devoured by negative emotions and become a lunatic.]
[Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of a problem. Have you become a lunatic? I’m just a narrative you imagined. You might have been staying in a mental hospital and talking to yourself.]
[Back to the beginning of our meeting, everything you experienced was just a young man with the dream of saving the world. In the cla.s.sroom, there was no dream of the future 1,500 years later, nor was there any struggle on the sacrifice timeline. After you woke up from the dream, you were sent to the hospital because of your mental illness. You haven’t woken up until now.]
[You’re not taking it seriously, are you?]
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“You’re just a dumb system.”
Next, he followed Wei Wei back to the private laboratory.
While waiting, Wei Wei spent a few hours using the data she had previously kept. She concocted an entire box of mind-calming potions in one go and asked him to take them back and consume them timely.
Although the effect of the mind-calming potion was limited, it could undoubtedly slow down the impact of negative emotions on him.
He was grateful for Wei Wei’s help.
He also chose to bid farewell to Wei Wei at this moment.
He took a taxi to arrive here, but when he returned, he took the exclusive military car of the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, he decided to head to the Black Absolute Domain Field next and s.n.a.t.c.h the Miracle Bracelet..
