The other two items were indeed powerful, but they paled in comparison to the Star Dragon King Essence Blood.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that those treants and ancients were likely guarding this crucible of Star Dragon King Essence Blood.
Even the skeletons might have been there to protect it.
Judging by the size of the pot, there had to be at least seven or eight liters of it.
Calculating at roughly 0.05 ml per drop, that was enough to evolve 140,000 to 160,000 people.
The thought of such a number made Lan Qingyou think Chu Yuan would be very interested.
After all, even with Shang Chuan's help, it would take a long time to sell that much.
If everything went as expected, the client Shang Chuan had mentioned was likely Chu Yuan.
Of course, with Shang Chuan's capabilities, there might be other channels.
Anyway, no point dwelling on business for now. Better to look at these treasures.
She took out a dropper, ready to take a drop and be the first to try it out.
But she stopped just as the dropper was about to touch the Star Dragon King Essence Blood.
The identification results were reliable, but was it worth the risk? She didn't know what a Dragonkin looked like.
Lan Qingyou didn't consider herself a world-class beauty, nor did she have a particularly curvaceous figure, but she at least saw herself as delicate and pretty.
What if she turned ugly after becoming a Dragonkin? That would be no different from being disfigured.
Wait, those skeletons... were they the remains of the original Dragonkin inhabitants? Why else would they guard this dragon blood?
Judging by their bone structure, the natives weren't much different from humans...
No, no, that was a dangerous line of thought. She needed to set that aside.
What mattered now was how to evolve safely.
After all, evolution included an "attribute correction."
This was what Lan Qingyou valued most.
From the beginning, she had felt that her own attributes—and those of all Blue Star humans—were off.
A single Basic Mana Potion caused mana overflow for many. Even someone with a World Title like her only needed two or three.
If she used higher-level mana potions, would a single one cause her mana to overflow?
That didn't make sense.
There was only one logical conclusion.
They were "weak."
Exactly—weak! The physical constitution of Blue Star humans was too weak compared to the natives of this world. They were so weak that they couldn't even fully absorb a single Basic Mana Potion as defined by this world.
But if she evolved into a race of this world, she would receive the corresponding attribute correction.
It would adapt her attributes to this world.
More accurately, it would reconstruct her body into an existence truly suited for survival and combat here.
In gaming terms, what would that be called?
"Graduating from the novice village?"
The phrase popped into her head immediately.
It seemed accurate enough. After all, no one had even reached Level 10 yet; they were essentially new characters who hadn't left the starting area.
So, what should she do?
Should she gamble on the uncertainty?
Attribute correction was a guarantee, but her appearance was still a concern.
Strength was more important than looks, but Lan Qingyou was still a girl. It was a difficult decision to make.
【Alchemy is omnipotent.】
Just as she was hesitating, that famous quote from Albert's journal echoed in her mind.
Right! Who am I? I'm an alchemist!
If I'm uncertain, why not choose to minimize the risk?
Moreover, she now had the Seeker of Fire Crucible, which increased success rates by eighty percent. It would be an insult to the great Master Albert if she didn't show off her skills.
She immediately began placing orders with Shang Chuan.
Retain Beauty Grass, Pearl Powder, Aloe Vera Juice—she ordered a variety of beauty-enhancing ingredients to filter through.
But it wasn't enough. At least, Lan Qingyou felt it wasn't.
"What else am I missing?"
She frowned as she looked at the ingredients laid out on a blanket.
She had everything she could think of and everything Shang Chuan could find, yet she felt like something was lacking.
It was like a jigsaw puzzle missing a single piece. It just felt wrong.
It had nothing to do with her zodiac sign; it was just a nagging feeling in her gut.
Race, appearance, evolution, attributes—those were the cores of the potion she wanted to create.
Wait!
Lost in thought, Lan Qingyou suddenly had an epiphany.
A creative twist!
She hadn't accounted for putting her own spin on things!
To truly transform the potion from "Kalim-made" to "Lan Qingyou-made," she had to add her own creative touch.
The potion she was about to make would undoubtedly be a magic potion. Using Star Dragon King Essence Blood as the main ingredient meant that no matter what she did, the result would be magical.
With the Seeker of Fire Crucible in her possession, how could she not take this opportunity to put her own spin on it?
Yes, a creative twist.
She needed to think of how to do it.
Sitting cross-legged on her bed, Lan Qingyou rested her chin on her interlaced fingers and stared at the herbs on the blanket.
As her gaze swept over them, she saw a branch.
Wasn't that the piece the Blade-roller had cut from the War Treant earlier?
"Aha! That's it!"
Her eyes lit up the moment she saw the branch. She hopped onto her trimmed Magic Broom and flew out of the tent.
When she returned, she had a new branch in her hand.
This branch was precisely a branch from the Ancient of Life.
The Ancient of Life possessed powerful self-healing abilities. Using this as an ingredient would surely minimize the risks.
If branches from a War Treant could be used in potions, then one from an Ancient of Life would certainly work.
However, using it like this was a bit wasteful.
So, Lan Qingyou sourced a tool from Chariot—a juicer.
Sap was the essence of a tree, and it was an ingredient occasionally used in alchemy.
Drip, drip—
As the juicer whirred, droplets of golden sap leaked from the spout.
【Life Sap (S)】
【Effect: A single drop can restore a youthful glow to the elderly and strengthen the constitution. (Limit one drop per person.)】
【Description: My god! Where did you get this? You didn't kill an Ancient of Life, did you? No way... right?】
This was the message Shang Chuan sent back.
The description on the small screen was as annoying as ever, but Lan Qingyou chose to ignore it.
A single drop to restore a youthful glow to the elderly?
Wasn't that exactly what she needed?
