Chapter 9 The Effects of the Potion
Seeing the potion taking shape in the glass, Lin Ye laughed with some excitement.
He picked it up gently and examined the bottle of potion with fascination.
The water was clear, with small, dark red particles suspended in it, translucent like pigeon blood rubies, which looked very tempting.
These particles flow slowly, faintly revealing circular trajectories.
"Pop~"
Pulling out the stopper, a cool, sweet fragrance wafted into my nostrils, and my body felt light as if I were walking on clouds, about to take flight.
"Glug~ Glug~"
Drink it directly, and the coolness and sweetness spread from your mouth all the way down your throat.
The chill spread from my stomach throughout my body, like tiny, icy snakes crawling through my muscles, leaving no corner untouched.
"Um?"
Lin Ye frowned, feeling an uncomfortable sensation as his skin rapidly formed an oily film, like the residue of sweat that had dried quickly.
I took off my clothes and went straight to the bathroom.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
The sound of running water accompanied by scrubbing noises, and the water flowing into the drain was a dark reddish color.
Three minutes later, with a "whoosh," the bathroom door opened.
Lin Ye walked out, grabbed a towel from the side to dry his hair, and looked at himself in the mirror.
Although there was no visible increase in muscle mass, the muscle definition was more defined than after the last treatment, giving it a more explosive look.
"You've lost some weight."
Silently reciting "Monument," a cloud of black mist appeared on the back of his hand, swirling and coalescing into a black monument.
In the lower half of the monument, all conditions for the achievement "The Birth of the Black Goat" are displayed as "Completed".
"Monument, unlocking the achievement—The Birth of the Black Goat."
As I silently recited the mantra, a familiar, cool current spread from the back of my hand throughout my entire body.
This time, the cool air current lasted for a much shorter time than last time, disappearing quietly in just a few breaths.
Looking at the upper part of the monument,
[Monument Master: Lin Ye]
【Strength: 0.60】
[Agility: 0.53]
[Physical Fitness: 0.51]
【Intelligence: 0.54】
【ability】
Yin-dominant constitution (1/10)
Potions Apprentice (1/10)
Potential Point: 0
Strength and Constitution increased by 0.01, while Agility increased by 0.02. The combined effect is almost equivalent to half a potential point.
The ability section also includes a new entry: [Potion Apprentice (1/10)].
Similar to the Yin-dominant constitution, (1/10) represents the number of times; one potential point can increase it by one time.
But that would be such a waste.
If nothing unexpected happens, I only need to concoct nine more potions to advance, so it's not worth consuming my precious potential points.
With a thought, the monument transformed into a cloud of smoke and merged into the ouroboros mark.
"Um?"
Lin Ye tilted his head down and raised the back of his hand.
His pupils contracted as he looked at the ouroboros pattern on the back of his hand.
The scales on the black ouroboros pattern suddenly lit up, gleaming with a dull, dark light.
Not all of them lit up; only the scales near the snake's neck near its head did.
Looking down and counting, there were a total of 113 scales in the ouroboros pattern, of which 26 were lit up.
The moment the number of scales was counted, a stream of information flowed from the ouroboros pattern down my arm into my mind.
About half a minute later, he sorted out his thoughts.
"Once all the lights are lit, you can enter the church again."
He suddenly remembered the title of that abandoned website.
"Anyone who enters will not enter only once."
"hiss--"
He couldn't help but gasp, the image of the various scratches he had glimpsed in that church flashing before his eyes.
Even though he's become stronger now, he has no doubt that the monster could tear his body into pieces in an instant and then spread them out evenly.
In this way, he became a vivid and beautiful human body painting.
He gently supported his chin with his left hand, and his breathing became heavy.
"Extraordinary... that's not the way to say it."
He did want to try and see if he could trigger a new achievement with that monster, but... not now.
He is too weak now, so weak that he doesn't even have the slightest power to resist.
"The scales are lighting up... Is it because of a potion? Or because an achievement was unlocked?"
Gently massage your temples and lower your gaze.
"Currently, there is only a way to enter, but no way to leave."
"Do I need to unlock a specific achievement before I can leave? Or is there another mechanism?"
A sense of urgency rose in his heart. If he were to be chased by that monster in that dilapidated church, he couldn't imagine how he could survive.
Poison it with a magic potion? Would that thing be afraid of poison?
Moreover, he didn't have any poison-type magic potions.
Whale Kill Boxing Gym.
A name came to his mind.
Right now, perhaps only practicing martial arts is the only way for him to have a chance to fight that monster.
He nodded to himself, realizing that no amount of unorthodox methods could compare to one's own strength.
He also prefers this way of becoming stronger by returning power to himself, just like when he challenged Ozaki's eight challenges.
Moreover, he has an advantage, which is potions.
With martial arts training and the added effects of the magic potion, he will be stronger than other martial artists of the same level and will be able to go further in the future.
I pushed open the bathroom door, took a step out, and walked nearly two meters out.
Ok?
Somewhat surprised, she turned around and looked at the bathroom door.
Effect Two: Gain the blessing of the night; for a period of time after consumption, movement speed is greatly increased.
Remembering the effects of "Black Goat's Night," he laughed and quickly returned to his bedroom.
A dozen minutes later, he stood in the hallway by the bed, looking at the time displayed on his phone screen.
"It should have taken effect after that cool airflow disappeared, but I didn't notice it because I was taking a shower."
"The duration was about ten minutes. My speed increased significantly, exceeding the range of normal humans."
If we were to express it with a specific speed, then within the time it took for the potion to take effect, he could cover 100 meters in eight seconds!
It may seem like only two seconds faster than top athletes, but those two seconds represent a vast chasm, the distance between a human and a superhuman.
However, reflecting on his feelings just now, he realized that it didn't mean his physical abilities had reached such an inhuman level.
Instead, it felt like a blessing, as if the wind was flowing beneath his feet, and he was moving on the wind.
Magic.
"If it moves at that speed, that monster... probably... likely won't be able to catch up, right?"
Looking at the empty glass that had been used to hold the "Night of the Black Goat," a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.
We need to find an opportunity to prepare a few more bottles to keep as backup.
He sat down at the computer desk and started looking up information about Whale Kill Boxing Gym.
Before long, he had a general understanding of the background of Whale Kill Boxing Gym, which was a martial arts school that taught ancient boxing techniques.
There are dozens of martial arts schools of all sizes in the coastal city, but the vast majority of them only teach modern combat techniques such as Sanda and boxing.
There are only three martial arts schools that truly teach ancient boxing techniques.
The registration deadline for the boxing gym is 9:00 AM on the first Monday of every month, which is tomorrow.
No, it's past midnight, it's today.
"Registration fee: 5,000..."
He muttered to himself that he was still short of money.
Suddenly, he thought of the purple tulips outside the medieval church. These peculiar plants must be quite valuable, right?
He turned on his computer and logged into the internal network of the Purchasing Department of Coastal University. He had misunderstood before and shouldn't have looked for it on the shopping platform.
Not long after, he came across a picture that looked exactly like those purple tulips.
"Its scientific name is *Hypericum perforatum*, and it has a very strong anesthetic effect. Price... 800!"
His eyes lit up.
Eight hundred, eight hundred it is...
Suddenly, the monster's golden face appeared in my mind, and five thin, sharp black claws seemed to appear before my eyes.
"Won't you die?"
......
Early in the morning, at the breakfast table, Lin Ye put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and looked solemnly at Jiang Weilan.
"Mom, I want to enroll in a martial arts gym to improve my fitness, but I'm a little short of the enrollment fee."
