Now, this ice shard-like item in his hand caused him to feel some hope!
“I feel that this item I am holding can suppress the negative effects on my emotions for at least a year! If I find more items like these, then perhaps the emotional instabilities can be completely cured.”
A joyous sparkle appeared in Leylin’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
He did not want to expose any emotion before he got his hands on the name and origin of the ice-shard.
“This is the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath. Icy Jade Scorpions live deep within ice caves, and their saliva has the effect of boosting the advancement of plenty of ice element high-level meditation techniques. It is being sold for 500,000 magic crystals, or can be exchanged for an item of similar worth…”
In front of Leylin was an extremely beautiful female Magus.
Her long purple robes could not hide the curves of the body. Instead, it was even more enchanting as the robes failed to conceal them. Her light purple hair was let down like a waterfall, and her exquisite face carried a smile.
This woman’s looks definitely ranked in the top ten of all females Leylin had ever seen, and in addition, she looked extremely intelligent and capable.
“I have an experiment which requires a large amount of this item; can you bring me to the ice cave? Or perhaps, I can purchase them in bulk”
From the smile of the woman, Leylin knew that she had seen through his urgent need for the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath, so he just calmly admitted it.
Chapter 318 – Research And Experiment
Research And Experiment
Meanwhile, a magic crystal was tossed onto the table.
Leylin kept the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath in his palm with no intentions of returning it.
“Is it just an experiment?”
The purple-haired Magus said with a grin. The magic crystal on the table flew into her hands, leaving behind a flickering black afterimage.
Leylin merely looked at her with a vacant stare, as if what he had said was the truth.
“Alright then!” The female Magus elegantly raised her finger, on which her fingernail had been painted with the red sap of a daffodil, and kept the magic crystal.
“I’m Celine! You can contact me in the future for more information regarding the Icy Jade Scorpion. This is my secret imprint!”
She then passed her secret imprint, which looked like a purple daffodil, to Leylin.
Leylin nodded and left the area, and right after that, a plump Magus walked up to Celine and began to chat with her earnestly.
“Leylin, my friend! Where are you going?”
At this moment, Siegfried strolled up to where he was.
“You came at the right time. Do you know who that purple haired female Magus is?” Leylin pointed at the female Magus who occasionally covered her mouth and giggled while conversing animatedly with the plump Magus.
“Oh! That’s Celine, the inheritor of a small guild. Although the guild’s strength isn’t much, she is a famous beauty of the eastern capital! However, she’s extremely crafty, and many Magi who have harboured designs on her have suffered. She’s not someone you’d want to provoke…”
Siegfried looked at Leylin before grinning. “Why? Are you interested in her?”
“No! We just had some dealings previously.”
After listening to Siegfried’s explanation, he was even more sure that Celine was not a simple woman. The grip he had on the box unconsciously tightened.
However, the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath was paramount to his path as a Warlock, so he absolutely could not miss this chance.
“It seems like I’ll have to play with this vixen for a while!”
Leylin smiled as he glanced at Celine.
……
In the eastern capital, within the villa that Leylin bought.
After Baelin’s silent farewell, only Leylin was left as the sole occupant of the grand villa. As Leylin had not bought any slaves, it felt rather empty in here.
At this moment, Leylin had separately constructed a concealed tunnel in the underground cellar.
At the end of the tunnel was a spacious underground lab, at the centre of which was a silver metal experimental desk with test-tubes lying on top of it. All of these things were items that Leylin had brought along with him.
“What a strange item!”
At this moment, Leylin used silver tweezers and held the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath as blue light shined in his eyes.
With the aid of the microscopic analysing abilities of the A.I. Chip, the surface on the icy shard continuously enlarged, finally revealing a strange rune with six sides.
Chilliness churned and emanated from this strange rune.
[Beep! The analysis of the components of the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath is complete! Creating matrixes and images! Beginning simulation of the experiments on bloodline!]
Soon, the A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.
“Let’s begin!” Leylin inhaled deeply.
[Authorisation received. Beginning the simulation of experiment on bloodline!] The A.I. Chip worked on the data. Leylin’s eyes blurred as he seemed to enter a different dimension. He could vaguely make out a translucent human figure with purple blood running through their veins.
[Injecting the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath!] With the A.I. Chip’s voice, two thin metal needles pierced the humanoid figure at the shoulders, and images then showed a strange white liquid flowing into the body.
*Huala!* Once the Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath had entered the body, it frothed as if hot oil had met with icy water, creating a very strong reaction.
The experimented-on body began to shake violently, and the numbers which represented the data of the figure changed wildly, almost turning into a blur.
[Blood flow and pressure are increased, and burden on the body is multiplied by five!]
From time to time, the A.I. Chip would update and interpret the new figures for Leylin.
“Begin the radiation of energy particles! Stabilise the vitality within!” Leylin ordered once again.
Soon, black Dark elemental energy particles began to emanate from the experimental body, and under such radiation, the body slowly began to stabilise.
Finally, the experimental body returned to its original state, and the purple blood in the body continued to flow, just like wine inside a glass.
The main difference was that the blood had dulled a little and become darker.
[Warlock’s bloodline emotional stability experiment was successful! Estimated time for suppressing the core emotional waves: 345 days, 13 hours.] The A.I Chip gave an accurate analysis of the experiment.
“If the dosage is increased, could it prevent any troubles in the future?” Leylin asked the A.I. Chip.
[Data is insufficient. Analysing the data’s probabilities…] The A.I. Chip once again went into a computing mode.
Only after five hours had passed did the A.I. Chip come up with a reply. [Success rate is 67%. Requires more high-level Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath.]
“As expected! This kind of Icy Jade Scorpion’s Breath can really cure problems with Warlocks’ emotions.”
Leylin’s eyes shone brightly with happiness.
Although the ancient bloodline Warlocks had powerful physiques and magic capabilities, it was very difficult for them to advance.
However, this was not the main reason why the Warlock inheritance declined!
As a result of their access to powerful ancient bloodlines, a Warlock would also inherit the intact genes—which were deeply imbued with tyrannical and terrifying emotions—of ancient predators.
Because of this, a Warlock’s personality was often irascible, and they were quick-tempered, which was a fatal flaw in the Magus world.
No matter how powerful one was, what was the point in having such power if one could not control their own spirit?
Therefore, the calm and rational Magi could pass on their legacies. However, there were no traces of Warlocks on the south coast and Twilight Zone; perhaps only the central continent had some of the legacies left behind by Warlocks.
“Icy Jade Scorpion!”
Leylin quickly sorted out all the information he had related to this organism.
After being told the name of this crystal, Leylin began an intensive study on the characteristics, habitats, capabilities, etc. of this organism, and gathered all of the relevant data.
“Icy Jade Scorpion, a high energy organism that reaches the might of a rank 1 Magus in its adult stages. In search of fertile lands, they often reside in icy caves! Legend has it that they came from another world back in ancient times, and after entering the Twilight Zone, they underwent some evolutionary changes. Only the special radiation reflected from certain types of topaz are able to sustain their lives and reproduction capabilities. Their crystallised breath is known to have stimulating effects on certain high-grade meditation techniques.”
This was a brief summary of all the information Leylin had gathered.
