Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Early the next morning, Bai Di and Shuang Yun went down the mountain. This time, the wolf cubs didn’t follow.
Xue Ling went to the territory of the feather tribe to discuss with Shen Yan about sending people to investigate the demon army.
Hence, only Huanhuan, Sang Ye, and the children were left at home.
Oh right, there was also a giant panda who only knew how to eat and sleep.
In the morning, Huanhuan brought the children to class as usual. After returning for lunch, the wolf cubs went out to play with their friends with bamboo balls in their mouths. Sang Ye was sorting out the animal hides he had brought back from hunting recently. Ni Ya was still eating.
!!
Huanhuan went into the bedroom alone and took out ‘Introduction to Alchemy Manual’. She found the records about beast patterns.
There were two types of beast patterns.
One was a star pattern, the kind on Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and the others. It was similar to a tattoo.
Once a beast awakened its beast soul, star patterns would appear on its body. It was the symbol of a soul beast.
The other type was magic patterns. They only appeared on demons. Every demon could have more than one magic pattern. The more magic patterns they had, the stronger they were.
Therefore, many demons were covered in magic patterns of various shapes. They were symbols of power.
Huanhuan recalled Han Ying’s appearance and asked curiously, “Why didn’t I see any magic patterns on Han Ying when he was in human form?”
The system said, “Silly girl, he was wearing clothes. Even if he has magic patterns on his body, you won’t be able to see them. Moreover, high-level demon beasts can hide their magic patterns. Their magic patterns will only show up when they’re especially agitated or when they use their attribute power. If they don’t show their magic patterns, they’ll look no different from ordinary beasts. It’s the same with Sang Ye.”
“I see.”
Huanhuan continued to read.
Whether it was star patterns or magic patterns, they were very closely related to power. Therefore, the alchemy master who wrote this manual had an idea. He tried to study how beast patterns were related to power.
In the end, this master really came up with conclusive results.
He realized that soul beasts were equivalent to a medium for beasts to exert their strength.
Beast patterns could help beasts maximize the power of their soul beasts. Moreover, the patterns would become more and more exquisite and complicated as the beasts became stronger.
The master alchemist collected more than a thousand beast patterns for research. In the end, he developed two basic enhanced beast patterns. They represented speed and strength. Then, on the basis of these two beast patterns, he developed eight attribute beast patterns that represented different attributes.
If he used a special potion to paint strengthening beast patterns on beasts, it could increase their speed and strength them for a short period of time.
In other words, beast patterns could allow ordinary beasts to unleash the powerful strength of soul beasts in a short period of time.
When Huanhuan saw this, she couldn’t help but look very shocked.
“This alchemy master is really impressive!”
The system said proudly, “Of course! He’s the most powerful alchemist!”
Huanhuan couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s this master now?”
If such a powerful person was still alive, he must be a very important person.
The system was silent for a moment before saying sullenly, “I don’t know.”
Without thinking too much about it, Huanhuan continued reading.
Compared to strengthening beast patterns, attribute beast patterns were stronger. Ordinary beasts could not even withstand the power of attribute beast patterns.
If they forcefully used attribute beast patterns, they might even explode and die.
Attribute beast patterns could only be used on soul beasts that had already awakened their soul beasts, especially those that had already activated their attributes. If they used beast patterns that corresponded to their attributes, their strength would be greatly increased.
The manual contained sample diagrams of two enhanced beast patterns and eight attribute beast patterns.
Everything was written in detail, including the special potion’s formula.
Huanhuan studied them carefully. The beast patterns were each more complicated than the last. It was not easy to copy them perfectly.
Fortunately, she was patient and had a lot of time. She slowly study them.
The prerequisite for drawing beast patterns was ink. Fortunately, the materials needed to make potions were all in the ring space.
Huanhuan just had to take out all the materials and follow the steps in the manual. She placed the materials into the crucible one by one, lit a fire, and heated the materials. Then, she injected animal blood into the concoction.
A strange smell filled the air.
She was worried about another explosion. As soon as the liquid in the crucible boiled, she backed away and hid outside the door.
Huanhuan stuck her head out from behind the door and stared at the crucible to observe the situation.
Sang Ye, who passed her, stopped and asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m studying something.” Huanhuan looked back at him and waved her hand. “Go downstairs and stay away from here before the explosion hurts you.”
Sang Ye frowned. “The thing you’re researching will explode?”
“I don’t know. Maybe.” Huanhuan couldn’t be sure. After all, she was just a rookie in this field. Only God knew if the liquid rolling in the crucible would suddenly turn into a bomb in the next second.
Sang Ye reached out and pulled her behind him.
Huanhuan was confused. “What are you doing?”
“Hide behind me so that the explosion doesn’t hit you.”
Huanhuan’s heart warmed as she muttered, “But I don’t want you to be injured by the explosion.”
“My skin is thick. That thing won’t hurt me.”
Huanhuan looked at his pale and handsome face. He was such a good-looking man. He didn’t look rough at all.
Eventually, the crucible did not explode.
But the liquid inside didn’t turn into the magical potion described in the manual either.
The experiment failed.
Huanhuan had no choice but to start over.
Sang Ye was afraid that she would be injured by the explosion, so he stayed by her side to watch her. Every time she heated the potion, he would pull Huanhuan away.
On the third try, the crucible exploded as expected.
Fortunately, the explosion was not serious this time.
Only the crucible was blown up, and it did not cause any other damage. Huanhuan and Sang Ye were also not injured because they were hiding far away.
Sang Ye helped wipe the medicinal liquid on the ground.
Huanhuan lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake. “I’m sorry,” she said in frustration.
Sang Ye said, “You didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?”
“I’ve caused you trouble.”
“I don’t think it’s trouble. On the contrary, I’m glad I can help you. I like being needed by you.” Sang Ye wiped the ground clean. After making sure that the little female wouldn’t slip, he stood up.
Huanhuan hugged him from behind and pressed her face against his back. “Do you think I’m useless?” she said sullenly
