Chapter 17 Side Effects

Locke used an ordinary water source and practiced the mana centrifugal extraction method for an entire afternoon.

 The reason why I stopped practicing is not because I have learned it. After all, this thing is a skilled job.

  Although the battle is to learn talent, there is still time for practice.

  The longer you practice, the more proficient you become and the better you become.

 But because Alder had already opened his wooden box and the frost runes on it had expired, there was not much time left to practice the mana centrifugal extraction method for Locke.

  In the remote classroom of Aurelian College, in Locke's hands, two mixed blood liquids were spinning rapidly, and then a touch of gray suddenly appeared inside the originally bluish mixed liquid.

As time went by, there was more and more gray blood in the medicine bottle, and less and less blue liquid, but in the end the blue blood did not completely disappear, there was still some residue.

 Professor Alder became excited, his body trembling, and his eyes fixed on the medicine bottle in Locke's hand.

 That gray blood is the pure magic blood essence in the stone crab's body.

Locke also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This was his third try and the last chance.

 But fortunately, he was lucky and barely succeeded the last time.

    It can’t be considered as having learned it, this time it’s just good luck, and the extracted blood contains a lot of impurities. Locke thought to himself: "I still need to practice the mana centrifugal extraction method every day." 』

   But in the end, I did succeed. 』

      This is a rare experience. 』

  It’s a pity that the opportunities are limited on Corfu Island. From now on, I can only practice with some river water every day.

  But the progress is very slow.

 Locke glanced at the ring on his right hand. The dark sapphire he wore on his hand must have expired.

  Dark Sapphire is like an external filter, forcing it to filter its own mana fluctuations.

 But as he became a third-class wizard apprentice, this mana fluctuation filter seemed to be no longer enough. It was no longer possible to use a thumb-sized dark sapphire for half a month.

Just now, I was concentrating on driving my magic power and actually destroyed the dark sapphire in my hand. The dark sapphire with its special structure was destroyed. In principle, it is just an ordinary sapphire and has no special value.

  At best, the color and luster are a little unique.

 Loke thought: "But if you stack multiple pieces of dark sapphire together, you can increase the strength of the mana fluctuation filter through quantity, and you can still keep up with my magic realm." 』

 Locke focused his attention on Alder, and he never let down his guard.

  At this time, Alder could no longer suppress his excitement and rushed over, seizing the stone crab blood essence.

  "Yes, yes, no problem. Locke, thank you..."

"Although there are many impurities, it's hard for you. It's not your fault."

Alder took out the stand, firewood and small crucible from the box, put a piece of marble stone and a rainbow rose in the box into the crucible, and poured a bottle of alcohol into it.

 Locke has read the formula of the stone crab bloodline transformation potion before. As far as he knows, after he extracted the stone crab bloodline essence using the mana centrifugal extraction method, he has actually completed the main part of the potion.

 After all, this potion is just a simplified thing.

The most difficult part is actually the three stone crab blood separation potions in Alder’s hand that were given to him by the official wizard mentor. Using these potions, combined with the mana centrifugal extraction method, to successfully extract the stone crab blood, the main body of the stone crab blood transformation potion has been completed.

 The remaining materials and refining are just for modifying the medicinal properties to make it safer to take.

 In spite of this, Locke still saw the warning note in the refining notes given to him by Alder - this is a life-changing technology that has only been used on experimental subjects. The technology is not mature, and it is not recommended for wizard apprentices to use it on themselves.

Soon, Alder got a small tube of gray medicine from the crucible. He used a syringe to extract it. Then, regardless of Locke standing next to him, he directly used the syringe to insert it into the blood vessel on his arm.

  Alder grinned, as if he was extremely satisfied.

 Locke saw that when he opened his clothes, the skinny arms exposed had almost no blood and almost no flesh, as if they were dry stones in a coffin board.

 Even, there are some signs of decay at the base of Alder's arm.

But after taking the Stone Crab Bloodline Transformation Potion, his arm quickly inflated like a balloon, and his skin became gray, like a layer of stone skin. Secondly, his arm seemed to have grown muscles, and the rotten parts were also covered up due to petrification.

 Alder took a breath, as if a man who was about to hold his breath to death could finally breathe normally.

  Alder's eyes were smiling and he felt a little more relaxed. "I think this will help me survive for a few more years."

"The stone crab bloodline has given me a strong body, and the stone crab is a creature that can still eat and move normally even if 90% of its body is dead and rotten."

"Its life characteristics are enough to allow me to do more things."

Old looked at Locke gratefully. "Congratulations, Locke, this is your first time to successfully refine a potion. Although you are not operating independently, it still proves that you are very talented in this area."

  "I originally had not high hopes that you could succeed."

  "I will tell Tonggu about the record of this refining. So, Tunguska can record it in the book. "

"This is a big bonus. Very few wizards from indigenous origins will have successfully refined a bloodline transformation at the level of about 3 levels before boarding the wizard ship."

Locke looked at Alder in confusion. "Ring 3?"

  Alder is observing the changes in his body and is in a happy mood. "Yeah. That's a method of calculating the power of spells."

"In the wizarding world, use the classic one-ring magic fireball spell, which is calculated as one level of magic. Use the classic trick of fingertip flames, which is calculated as one level of magic. The standard strength of your vine hand is probably around level 2."

 "That's why I said, I didn't expect you to succeed."
 "Normally, this level of bloodline transformation requires at least a second-class wizard apprentice to do it."

 Locke said: "I just hit it by mistake."

 Alder nodded, because Locke was not refining it independently this time.

 Furthermore, the main part of it was actually completed by his official wizard mentor. The two of them just copied the experimental steps designed by others and used the potions packaged by them to complete this bloodline transformation.

Alder was a little tired and said: "Okay. I don't know why, I suddenly became very tired. This may be one of the side effects of the stone crab's bloodline transformation." The day our deal was completed. "

 Alder rubbed his forehead, and Locke found that two thick dark circles suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his pupils also began to change with the transformation of the stone crab blood, and the pupils became slender.

 Locke was alert. "That bloodline transformation is too immature. 』

                                     ifies, what kind of side effect did Alder have on his body?  

                           Can he really still be able to hold on until he finishes teaching me how to make my skull explode? 』

“Forget it, I’m leaving Corfu in three months anyway. Take it one step at a time. It's good to learn how to explode the skull, but if you don't, forget about it. 』

 Locke thought: "This time I learned the mana centrifugal extraction method and successfully refined a bloodline transformation potion. This is already an unexpected gain for me." 』

 Locke didn’t want to stay too long with the potentially unstable Alder. He nodded slightly, turned around and left quickly.

 After Locke left, Alder squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of his office.

 his body is now strengthened and can accommodate more lifespan.

 It doesn't matter, in this academy, there are some mortal noble families who, in order to please him, actively treat those useless disciples as abandoned children and throw them to him.
