Chapter 1167

Chapter 1143 Forming a Shareholders’ Meeting with the Sea Queen and Developing the Core Function of Chicken Gizzard!

Locke

immediately considered more complex matters: the true value of his shares in Style Neil, how much the Sea Queen would need to pay for a 33% stake, and the need for a written charter for the joint-stock shop alliance to clearly define shareholder rights.

The shareholder rights promised in the charter, even if he held 67% and became the largest shareholder with absolute power, could not be easily denied; therefore, the charter needed to be carefully drafted.

Locke explained both issues to the Sea Queen in detail.

Meanwhile, the head of the Sun Ring was speechless. He remained silent because Locke had connected with the Sea Queen, and he naturally dared not interrupt their conversation. He had simply assumed Locke would readily agree to the Sea Queen’s investment.

Frankly, many wizard mentors invest in their students’ shop alliances without spending any money, as the students themselves cover the losses.

After all, in many cases, this is essentially a powerful figure in the industry guaranteeing and endorsing their student’s shop alliance.

To his astonishment, Locke actually asked the Sea Queen for money, and even requested to discuss the alliance’s terms in detail, carefully verifying the rights and obligations of both parties.

All of this left the Sun Ring Director speechless.

He simply remained silent, watching Locke and the Sea Queen haggle, a question rising in his mind.

The Sea Queen, so this is the kind of easy-going Throne Wizard? She’s practically the best Potions Master in the world!

The Sun Ring Director silently wept for not being able to become the Sea Queen’s apprentice, while watching Locke and the Throne Wizard bargain, his heart filled with jealousy, envy, and resentment.

The Sea Queen’s voice emanated from the Ganoderma lucidum plant. “Kid, how much is your shop alliance, which has nothing to begin with, worth?”

“You can’t possibly consider a newly established shop alliance, especially one focused on potions, to be something valuable just because you own shares in it, can you?”

Locke said, “Teacher, you can’t say that. This is a shop alliance that you’re involved in; even if it’s newly established, it should attract your participation. Therefore, I believe that my 33% stake in this shop alliance is worth at least 303 million magic stones.”

The Sea Queen’s voice was full of curses. “You’re really asking for the moon. Go ask around, which newly established potion-related shop alliance has shares worth this much?”

Locke said, “Teacher, this is a shop alliance you and I have partnered with.”

The head of the Sun Ring couldn’t stand it anymore either. He whispered to Locke, “Wizard Locke, generally speaking, the shares of newly established potion-related shop alliances are indeed not worth much. Your teacher, the Sea Queen, is right. Generally speaking, a newly established potion-related shop alliance usually only has one or two unique potions whose market value is unknown, or it has a core-effect potion that is being developed and tested for its use as an asset.”

“These kinds of shop alliances often survive on the funds attracted by wizard investors in the early stages. The probability of bankruptcy within five years is greater than 70%, and within ten years it’s greater than 80%. Shares in such alliances don’t fetch a good price. But if your teacher is involved, all qualification certificates can be obtained quickly, and you’ll also receive endorsement from a high-ring wizard. Your shop alliance will start ahead of many potion-related shop alliances, gaining from the very beginning what every shop alliance dreams of: the wizards’ recognition of the alliance.”

The director, fearing Locke might anger the Sea Queen and miss this opportunity, kindly offered this reminder.

This was an opportunity many potion masters would do anything for their mentors.

He felt that if Locke missed it, it would be a terrible waste.

The Sea Queen’s voice came from the magical Ganoderma lucidum plant in Locke’s hand. “No matter what, 330 million is too much. How about 100 million?”

“I have an additional condition: I demand that my annual dividends not be less than 10 million. If you dare to give me less than 10 million, I have the right to withdraw my investment.”

Locke estimated that he understood what the director and the sea maiden teacher were saying.

One of the reasons he hadn’t formed a Potions Shop Alliance before was that the bankruptcy rate of Potions Shop Alliances was higher than that of other types of shop alliances.

Currently, the Potions Shop Alliance landscape in the entire Cloudze Wetlands, and even the eastern district, is similar: a diverse landscape with many smaller alliances vying for dominance. Large alliances dominate new potion fields and their chosen areas, while smaller alliances find their own niche in the potion market and manage to survive.

In other words, the demand for potions in the entire wizarding world is extremely high.

Therefore, unlike the wizard shoe market, in the potion-making field, each shop alliance can basically find a market to survive in, specializing in a particular type of potion, or even just one.

However, the competition among potion-making shop alliances is just as fierce, if not more so, than that of the wizard shoe and plant-based potion alliances.

Before finding the potion that an alliance can rely on for survival, it will inevitably face intense conflict with other alliances in that niche, until finally one alliance out of a dozen or so can reliably survive on that potion.

And when that alliance wants to develop new potions, the process repeats itself, leading to even fiercer conflicts.

In contrast, retail shop alliances that specialize in selling potions are less competitive, but they still face price and cost controls from upstream potion makers.

Locke now realizes that when he sold apprentice-level and first-level potions, he received the majority of the potion profits.

This was possible because of the power of the Potion Masters’ Association and the unspoken rules among potion makers.

This is why potion retailers aren’t as profitable; their profits are suppressed by potion masters, and they also have to pay extra for potion preservation and hiring potion master assistants. They also face a higher scrap rate than other goods because some potions have specific storage conditions and time limits.

Locke estimated the value of his shop alliance shares and realized he was already getting a huge bargain, so he immediately agreed. “Great, teacher, I can write this agreement into our shop alliance’s charter. If my annual dividends to you are less than ten million within ten years, I will need to return your principal, and you will return my shares.”

Sea Queen was incredibly agreeable. “Deal.”

The head of the Sun Ring was dumbfounded. “Huh? It actually worked? Is that even possible?”

Locke and Sea Queen then discussed and drafted the alliance charter, stipulating their rights and obligations.

Next, they completed a draft version of the alliance charter.

Before ending the call, the Sea Queen said to Locke, “Locke, I used to think you were a very rigid, traditional wizard. But ever since I got you drunk, you’ve suddenly become quite clever, even knowing how to bargain with me. It seems drinking wizard’s wine is beneficial to wisdom.”

“From today onwards, you and I are partners in Gungnir.”

The Sea Queen hung up.

Locke then looked at Director Sun Ring, about to ask if having a Throne-level Potions Master as an investor would speed up his certification process, but he saw a very complex expression on Director Sun Ring’s face, his eyes filled with a slightly reproachful and helpless look,

as if Locke had just committed some heinous crime.

Locke asked, “Director, can I get my certification now?”

Director Sun Ring looked at the alliance charter in Locke’s hand and the copy of the personal seal the Sea Queen had given him. He sighed, hesitant to speak, but ultimately said nothing. He just felt that the Throne-level master was being too kind to this wizard.

However, upon closer reflection, Director Sun Ring suddenly realized that things weren’t as he had imagined.

For a newly established potion-making shop alliance to distribute ten million magic stones to its partners annually is incredibly difficult, especially in the first five years.

Profit sharing within the alliance must adhere to regulations; otherwise, it’s highly likely to violate wizarding law and land them in jail.

For instance, after deducting necessary expenses, the net profit must be distributed between Locke and Sea Queen according to a specific ratio.

This ratio is written into the bylaws and cannot be arbitrarily changed.

In other words, if Locke were to split it 50/50, he would need to achieve a net profit of twenty million magic stones within the first year.

This is an enormous sum.

For most potion makers, it’s an impossible dream.

After realizing this, the head of the Sun Ring Wizarding Association even glanced at Locke with a hint of pity, assuming Locke had fallen into his teacher’s trap and was being subtly warned about the one hundred million magic stone investment.

In this head of the association’s mind, money couldn’t be earned so easily.

If Locke couldn’t do it, he would face a massive outflow of dividends and the recovery of funds.

That would be a terrible situation.

The director’s dissatisfaction with Locke vanished, and he felt he had to keep the Sea Queen’s secret and not reveal the matter, lest Locke realize what was happening and ruin the Throne Wizard’s plan.

He took the materials Locke handed him. “No rush, no rush. Wizard Locke, with your teacher’s seal, all your documents can be processed today. Everything can be done through the fast track. Procedures that would normally take six months to a year can all be simplified.”

The director looked at Locke with a half-smile. “The progress of your shop alliance can be accelerated.”

He spoke with a hidden meaning.

For a shop alliance destined to go bankrupt, accelerating everything was not a good thing.

Obtaining funds and increasing the speed of scaling up would only make the bankruptcy process a little faster.

Locke nodded, “That would be perfect.”

The director looked up at Locke, then continued with his work, assuming Locke was too young to understand the meaning behind his words.

Half an hour later, the director of the Sun Ring gestured for Locke to proceed. “Go to these four locations to pick up your documents, Wizard Locke.”

“By the way,” the director thought for a moment, feeling he should be considerate of the young man, and said to Locke, “I heard that a resource integration management committee recently came to Cloudze Wetlands. This committee has just arrived in our wizarding lands and has already doubled the turnover of some shop alliances. This committee even wants to connect with the business of various departments of our White Wizard Association, striving to make each department self-sufficient.” “

That’s quite ambitious. I just don’t know why, but the higher-ups immediately rejected their proposal. If you want to increase your shop’s turnover, you can try contacting them, if they are interested in your newly established shop alliance.”

Locke glanced at the director, then quickly bowed, turned and left the office, heading to the four locations he had indicated.

Two hours later, Locke completed all the procedures in the building and obtained three certificates: the most important sales license, production license, and potion research environment license, as well as the three-limit certificate for Archangel potions.

This means that his shop alliance can now handle almost everything related to potions.

Only certain limited-use potions will require reapplication, and some niche potions will require special certificates.

Locke’s confidence soared. “It’s a fantastic start! We’ve just established the shop alliance and already received the approval and investment of the Sea Queen, gaining 100 million magic stones. It’s just a pity that according to the alliance’s charter, this 100 million investment can only be used for this shop and cannot be moved. If I use it elsewhere, I’ll be committing the crime of misappropriation of funds.”

In wizarding law, he, the Sea Queen, and his own Gungnir are “three people,” so money belonging to Gungnir, even if it’s his own, is still considered misappropriation of funds if he forcibly uses it.

Many wizards don’t understand this, thinking that because the shop alliance belongs entirely to them, they can freely move the alliance’s money, only to be caught red-handed when targeted.

Locke pondered, “This way, once I complete the Starry Golden Dragon Claw order, I’ll have over 100 million. Add to that the 100 million magic stones I got from Golden Crown Mountain—I only spent 10 million—and I’ll have about 200 million.” “

Now, my priority is to complete the Starry Golden Dragon Claw Wizard Shoes order as quickly as possible.” “

And then there’s making antitoxin serum.”

Locke had an excellent idea after obtaining the snake venom from Sera. Normally, making snake venom serum involves either using large magical creatures, diluting the venom, injecting it, and extracting the serum from their blood. However, this method is likely extremely inefficient against the venom of the Venom World,

as its toxins are incredibly potent.

Alternatively, one could research the toxins’ mechanisms, find the core mechanisms that solve the problem, and create the corresponding antidote.

But this also takes time.

He had a faster method.

Locke rode in a magic carriage, and a day later, he spent five million magic stones to purchase a bottle of Archangel Potion. He returned to his dormitory on Golden Crown Mountain, activated the dormitory’s defensive magic array, and entered the simple potion-making room. He then locked himself inside and, through subtraction, obtained the Zero Potion. He then used the potion-reversal technique to brew the Heavenly Origin Lord Transformation Potion within his body.

Soon, Locke transformed into a Heavenly Origin Lord.

Although the Heavenly Origin Lord Transformation Potion was only a blue potion, his transformation into the Heavenly Origin Lord had made him the ancestral god of the Sea King World. Even outside the Sea King World, the radiance of nineteen pseudo-forged fruit positions—a total of nine heavens and ten earths—still hung behind him, though these pseudo-forged fruit positions were constantly swaying and looked extremely dilapidated.

The restoration of the Sea King World was not yet complete.

The nineteen pseudo-forged fruit positions behind him transformed into a star chart, with star rings and moon prominences rising behind Locke, appearing like some kind of ornament.

The Celestial Lord spoke, “The Celestial Lord possesses the special ability to transform into countless forms.”

Locke drank a bottle of second-ring universal antidote, the [Spiritual Light Potion], and then injected himself with the first type of snake venom. The Celestial Lord, originally pure white, instantly turned completely blackish-purple, even the chair he was sitting on was covered in purplish-black venom. This venom was sticky and emitted a dangerous stench.

Thick purplish-black veins appeared all over the Celestial Lord’s body.

The Spiritual Light Potion he had drunk was slowly working to detoxify him, but its effect was limited, lasting only a short while before being overwhelmed by the snake venom.

Locke was prepared for the detoxification to fail, so he had a bottle of Archangel Potion beside him beforehand. If things went wrong, he would immediately drink this blue Archangel Potion and combine it with his magical power to forcibly expel the toxins.

Meanwhile, within his body, strands of residual pure energy were fighting against the snake venom, attempting to use their pure energy to resolve the poison.

After a while, the Pure and Turbid Heavenly Fruit behind Tianyuan Lord emitted magical radiance, and then Tianyuan Lord’s body gradually returned to being filled with pure energy.

Tianyuan Lord exhaled and collected this breath with a Time Gold Crystal potion bottle. “This is the basic material for the first type of snake venom antidote serum.” “

Tianyuan Lord has the ability to transform into countless forms of energy. The energy in his body will automatically analyze and eliminate foreign energy that has entered his body. This snake venom is also a kind of toxic energy. This snake venom seems to first modify the body structure of an organism, making that organism’s body structure more suitable for infecting this toxin and without resistance. In this light, Tianyuan Lord’s special ability to reconstruct his body’s structure at will is precisely what counteracts this toxin. Perhaps it can even counteract all the toxins of the Venomous Great World.”

Locke looked at the Pure and Turbid Heavenly Fruit. The Pure and Turbid Heavenly Fruit can adapt to all things and decompose all things, turning them into pure and turbid energies. Just now, he was poisoned, and even the Spirit Light Potion was broken through by the toxin. It was only by relying on this Pure and Turbid Heavenly Fruit that he was able to buy time and support Tianyuan Lord’s body to produce pure energy to resist the toxin.

“The God of War thought everything in the Sea King’s world was primitive. Now it seems he was completely wrong.”

“Such a useful pseudo-forged fruit position, I can even use it to accelerate my research into snake venom serum. Although it’s a bit life-threatening. But making money isn’t shameful.”

Locke finished the second bottle of spiritual light potion, then took the second type of venomous snake potion. The next moment, a body tissue resembling a throat grew on his body. “Will this snake venom suffocate me? This is ridiculous. The Heavenly Origin Lord is formed from pure qi, how could he possibly die from suffocation? And the venom of the Venomous Great World has actually specially modified my body structure for this purpose, making me grow respiratory organs to suffocate me.”

A lung even materialized in the Heavenly Origin Lord’s abdomen, with many red and blue blood vessels wrapped around it.

Locke did not use the Heavenly Origin Lord’s own ability to transform qi into myriad things to untangle the respiratory organs that had grown on his body, but quietly observed and waited to see how far this organ change would go.

The Venom universe seems to have a tendency to modify bodies and produce certain toxins, which is one of the terrifying aspects of this toxin.

Half an hour later, a wisp of pure energy developed resistance to the snake venom within Tianyuan’s main body, and Tianyuan returned to its original state.

Locke took out the Tree of Prosperity from his collar and waved it three times like waving a sun wand. Then, he assimilated with the Forest Sanctuary, and his body began to split into three—mirror copies created by the Tree of Prosperity.

Locke’s three mirror copies then each drank a bottle of Nero’s Potion No. 3, transforming their bodies from three to six.

In this way, Locke could use six clones to detoxify, thus gaining 144 hours a day.

Locke smirked. “Possessing the ultimate magic of the pseudo-forging stage truly grants me a tremendous boost. 144 hours a day—something I never dared to dream of before! This allows me to consume six different venomous snake potions simultaneously. If anything goes wrong, I’ll use the Tree of Prosperity to perform subtraction replication, turning my six clones into one main body, and then drink the Archangel Potion.”

Locke immediately controlled his six clones, each drinking one of the six different poisons.

This time, after his six Heavenly Origin Main clones drank the poison, the venom immediately transformed into blood vessels within their bodies, then entered these vessels, and began to construct special skins—either skin like that of a loach, which needs mucus to maintain moisture and is afraid of dryness, or skin like that of a camel, which is afraid of moisture, or skin like that of a lizard.

Six different toxins began to spread across the six different clones.

These toxins flowed slowly along their bodies, gathered on the floor, and then transformed into a more complex compound toxin.

Locke’s six clones glanced over. “The snake venom in the Venom world is mostly single-element toxins, without any mixed toxins. I don’t know why; it might be related to the plane’s characteristics. But if you mix the venom of different snakes from that world, you can create compound toxins. In fact, during battle, when a wizard is surrounded by multiple snakes, he can easily be poisoned by several different toxins, causing them to mix within his body.” “

Furthermore, as I predicted, these magical toxins all possess the ability to seize the plane’s principles within the human body. By manipulating these principles, they can reverse the distribution of bloodline essence, quickly creating an environment in the body that is susceptible to toxin invasion. What powerful toxins. These toxins are like a high-roofed structure, supported by a more powerful entity behind it. This feeling seems similar to when I faced the Abyss Queen in the Valley of Despair.”

Locke speculated that the Venom world might also have similar high-ringed entities.

“But to verify my hypothesis, I need to conduct more experiments, and I have an interesting idea.”

Locke reached out and extracted the essence of a water-based snake venom that invades dry skin. He used magical flames to refine and extract the venom, which quickly evaporated within the flames.

Locke wasn’t concerned; thanks to Sera, he had a lot of the same snake venom on him.

He could continue extracting this venom, drinking it to poison himself, making it easier to understand its properties and structure. He would use the Sunlight Mirror monocle to observe the basic arrangement of the composite particles in the venom, gain a deeper understanding of its properties, and consider how to combine the types and sizes of magical flames before extracting the essence of the venom. Meanwhile

, in the Nexus, Camilla, a witch who had just entered the second circle of wizardry, asked her research group leader for leave. Dressed in her finest attire, she left the Nexus in a magical carriage and arrived at the Dragonblood Market on Golden Crown Mountain in the afternoon. She then waited for her guests in room number 3 of the Witch’s Kitchen at the Dragonblood Market.

When the waiter opened the door to the private room for the third time to ask if she could order, Camilla the witch had no choice but to take out 50,000 magic stones in advance and order some dishes. She tried to choose those with small portions and low prices, but which looked presentable.

At this moment, the Crystal Wizard manager came over. Camilla the witch had been here many times and was a platinum member, so the two were quite familiar with each other.

The shopkeeper asked Camilla the Witch curiously, “You’re always so frugal, why are you willing to spend so much money today?”

“Besides, the other party hasn’t arrived yet. It’s almost 1:30 PM. Lady Camilla, if they stand you up, then you’ll have wasted your money.”

Camilla thanked the shopkeeper, a first-ring wizard, “Thank you for reminding me.”

“But this is a good opportunity for me. My witch porcelain shop alliance, [Camilla Witch Porcelain], wants to obtain—”

Camilla’s eyes lit up when she saw the wizard Aura approaching the door. As an opportunist, she would seize every opportunity that fell into her lap.

Seeing that the person Camilla was waiting for had arrived, the shopkeeper tactfully left.

The wizard Aura, wearing heart-shaped glasses, arrived with a rhythmic gait. He had his hands in the pockets of a pair of close-fitting trousers, and instead of a wizard’s robe, he wore a white vest-like garment over a black shirt, looking rather dashing.

“Oh, little sister Camilla, hello. I am Wizard Aura from the Resource Integration Management Committee.”

Camilla immediately stood up, bowing to Wizard Aura, and said, “Lord Aura, I am the owner of Camilla Witch Porcelain. I heard you sent someone to arrange a meeting with me, and I am deeply honored. This is all the information I’ve compiled about my shop alliance, along with future prospects. My shop alliance’s witch porcelain has a very important unique characteristic: ‘natal witch porcelain.’ I’ve reached an agreement with the academy to sell some natal witch porcelain developed by our research group—”

Wizard Aura smiled, took the information, but didn’t flip through it, placing it on the side of the table. Camilla

swallowed hard, looking at Wizard Aura with puzzlement. If Wizard Aura didn’t believe her shop alliance could sell the unique natal witch porcelain from his research group, why would he have gone to the trouble of sending someone to arrange a meeting with her?

Wizard Aura said, “I’ve read a lot of information about Yunze Wetlands. Actually, Yunze Wetlands has many excellent products, even far exceeding the average quality of magical products from other wizarding lands.”

“Having your own natal witch porcelain is certainly good, but that’s just icing on the cake. Sister Camilla, there are so many good things in this world. If you think you can build a large shop alliance just like that, you’re being too naive. You need fame, you need the attention of the masses, and then you need the real skills to capitalize on that fame.”

Camilla, being an opportunist, quickly seized the opportunity. “Yes, your guidance is excellent.”

“Lord Aura, I’ve learned a lot from chatting with you. Regarding the fame you mentioned—”

Wizard Aura said, “Competitions, winning championships in those very important competitions, such as the Spellfighting Tournament, the Silent Grail, the Three Kings Tournament, and the Obsidian Grail Tournament. The fame of the Nexus Supreme Tournament held by your Nexus City isn’t high enough, it’s a bit of a stretch. You need to win the titles of these top-level competitions, do you have them? Or perhaps publish more articles in a district journal, or apply for some special funding.”

“Ah, you don’t.”

Witch Camilla sat in her seat somewhat self-consciously, not daring to move or speak, because she really didn’t have any.

Wizard Aura tapped the table with his fingers. “Without these things, there is no fame, and without fame, how will others know you have real skills? Sister Camilla, you have neither fame nor real skills. So you only have one path left.”

Witch Camilla immediately poured Wizard Aura a cup of wizard tea. “Please speak,”

said Wizard Aura. “To pledge allegiance.”

“I have someone I wish to meet, someone you happen to know. As far as I know, you and he made some interesting deals during the Spellfighting Tournament. The prototype of his ultimate magic even used the most important technology of your Nexus, the Primal Porcelain.”

Witch Camilla blurted out. “You want me to arrange a meeting with Locke Augustine for you?”

Wizard Aura nodded. “Yes. I did not do enough background research on Cloudswamp Wetlands before. I only looked at some data and excluded the Augustus Wizard Shoe Shop Alliance from my first round of contacts. Now I regret it. Sigh.”

“I’ve reorganized my thoughts.”

He picked up the steaming cup of wizard tea and took a sip.

“I misjudged the insufficient scale of the shop alliances and failed to see the emerging ones. If such shop alliances can successfully rise, they will occupy a significant share of the wizard shoe market. And that Mr. Augustine is said to be extremely busy; judging from what I’ve seen, those who have tried to meet him before, without an acquaintance to guide them, have a low success rate.”

“I’m not very familiar with the Red Dragon lineage, especially since I previously helped the Rose lineage,”

Wizard Aura chuckled. “This is a very delicate choice, easily misunderstood by those with ulterior motives. I hope you can introduce me to that wizard.”

Camilla the Witch finally understood. The Sun Ring Wizard, Aura, had never been after her shop alliance’s ability to sell her personal magical porcelain; rather, he coveted her insignificant relationship with Locke.

A flicker of resentment rose within Camilla, but she quickly suppressed it.

“Of course, I’d be happy to help you, sir. If only you could send a dedicated consultant from the resource integration management department to my shop alliance. I’ve heard that once you’re in this network, you can even be introduced to certain business opportunities.”

“Sir.”

“But even I, without a specific reason, cannot contact that wizard.”

Aura the Witch produced an astral ring. “I heard he recently applied for Potions Shop Alliance certification from several departments of the White Wizarding Association. Observing his application materials and the movements of his students, I suspect he wants to produce snake venom serum. After all, it’s a popular potions specialty in Cloudze Wetlands, and every potion master wants to make some extra money.” “

Here are thirty million magic stones. I hope to use these thirty million magic stones to pre-order the first batch of products from his Potions Shop Alliance. You don’t need to mention me; just say you and your third party want to buy. Just act like a normal customer. Our only request is that this wizard come to the Witch’s Kitchen in Dragonblood Market and have a meal with us.

That’s not an unreasonable request, is it?”

Wizard Aura adjusted his heart-shaped glasses, his serious expression vanishing, replaced by a more amiable one. He realized that Witch Camilla’s personality was relatively easy to manipulate.

“I want to reach a cooperation agreement with Augustine.”

“This is a reasonable business negotiation, beneficial to both of us. Even if it doesn’t work out, I don’t think Mr. Augustine will have a problem with you, Camilla. Because negotiations often fail.”

The witch Camilla smiled bitterly. She used to regard Locke as her rival in the field of breeding, but now she no longer had such foolish fantasies.

She accepted the Astral Ring; she had no reason to refuse this request.

After all, this wasn’t Locke’s enemy, just a Sun Ring wizard and a big shot from the Star Sea who wanted to cooperate with Locke.

In Locke’s dormitory on Mount Golden Crown, it was now two weeks later. Locke had ingested all 97 kinds of snake venom and extracted the spiritual essence of each of them, a total of 97 kinds. At the same time, he also extracted the special pure spiritual essence born from his own body.

Then, Locke borrowed a Queen’s Chessboard, a large Sun Mirror, and three magic mirrors from the Saffron Peach Garden. Through repeated analysis, comparison, and Rubik’s Cube synthesis, Locke found the commonalities among these pure spiritual essences.

“Found it. Among the 97 types of Qi-clearing potions, 63 have commonalities. I initially thought there was a strange core-function potion that could be widely used to detoxify the world of Poison, but after carefully comparing the data, I discovered that it is the Chicken Gizzard   Poison

…

“One is the ‘Black Hand’ series of potions, specifically designed to deplete a wizard’s magical pressure, and the other is the ‘Soul-Melting’ series, designed to expel foreign objects from the soul, such as alien souls. Yes, the basic principle of the Black Hand series of potions is to deplete a wizard’s spiritual energy, thereby indirectly lowering their magical pressure. However, all potions in this series have a distinct, peculiar bitter taste.” “

And a distinct chicken gizzard odor.”

“Skilled potion masters, after years of research, might be able to minimize this bitterness and odor through their techniques, but it’s difficult to eliminate them.”

Locke flipped through the materials, reading more than thirty related articles in a short time, trying to quickly understand the basic properties of the core active ingredient in chicken gizzard lining, and to figure out why this active ingredient can widely neutralize the toxins of the Venomous World.

Locke rubbed his temples. Unlike breeding science, potion science articles contain too many parts that are not clearly stated or deliberately obscured to protect patents.

For example, the most important one is the core active ingredient, which is the key to a second-circle potion formula.

If this second-circle potion simply uses a macro, that’s fine.

But many second-circle wizards require macro modifications, resulting in thousands of macro modifications in these articles.

This ensures rigor while preventing potion masters from knowing which macro is truly effective, the core macro, and the macro modifications within the published recipe. If they want to replicate it, they need to research the environment, costs, and time involved. Furthermore, the article only

explains the mechanism of action, not how to translate macros.

This provides a double layer of protection: publishing the article prevents other potion masters from replicating the recipe for a considerable period, or ensures that replicated potions are less effective than the original. Therefore

, generally speaking, even a single type of potion will naturally have varying effects in the hands of different potion masters.

Locke, reading the materials, pondered, “I see. I can guess why some fixed spiritual macros always appear among the numerous spiritual macros translated from so many serums. Chicken gizzard spiritual macros inherently have the function of expelling the spiritual energy of those who have left, indirectly lowering magical pressure, or causing the alien fragments of the soul within the body to dissolve.” “

And the toxins of the Venom world rely on modifying a portion of the dimensional principles within a person’s body, that is, affecting the dimensional principles within the human body, and then affecting the physical body. Therefore, after using potions made with chicken gizzard spiritual macros, it is possible that these external dimensional principles will be dissolved and eliminated.” “

Therefore, chicken gizzard spiritual macros can serve as a universal solution for the Venom world.”

Locke thought, “If I continue to study these snake venoms, I will certainly find even better solutions. But for now, as long as I use this chicken gizzard spiritual macro to make potions, I can create an antidote.”

“Using these pure energies simultaneously could create targeted antidotes. But these serums are all produced by myself, which is too much of a hassle. Forget it, I’ll just make antidotes instead.”

Locke had another idea: the toxins of the Venom World could significantly alter a person’s body, forcibly modifying it. Essentially, if he utilized this mechanism well, he could develop a method for modifying the body.

It just depended on the cost-effectiveness.

Locke stepped out of his makeshift laboratory and immediately noticed two invitations from his Ganoderma lucidum plant.

“Hmm? Argos of Solas the Light-Foot wants to negotiate a business deal with me, worth at least fifty million magic stones? And Queen Ella invited me to a video call.”

“Both sides are contacting me at the same time,”

Locke pondered. He had no interest in Solas the Light-Foot’s so-called business negotiations; they were enemies, and he wasn’t foolish enough to discuss interests with them.

If Solas the Light-Foot could eliminate him, he would definitely do so immediately.

He immediately chose to contact Queen Ella.
