Chapter 118 Blood of God
"I feel like something's missing—is it some kind of positioning? Or rather, targeting?" Li Ang muttered to himself, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
If this problem is not solved, the effectiveness of the medication will be greatly reduced, and it may even fail to regenerate the eyeball due to the dispersion of the medication's potency.
Even late into the night, he still couldn't come up with a perfect solution and had to temporarily put away the draft formula.
The next day, after finishing the potion class on the fifth floor, Li Ang did not return to his dormitory or go to the workshop as usual, but went straight to his mentor Eve's residence.
After Ginny informed him, she quietly withdrew. Eve remained seated on the sofa, and when she saw Li Ang, her light blue eyes flickered slightly.
"Mentor." Li Ang bowed respectfully, then explained his purpose and presented the draft formula he had written overnight.
"I am trying to devise a medicine that can promote the regeneration of specific necrotic organs, but I have encountered a bottleneck. I would like to ask you for some guidance."
Eve took the stack of parchment, and when her gaze fell on the title, her eyes seemed to show no surprise.
Her disciple always seems to be challenging things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to imagine.
She began to carefully peruse the book. At first, her expression was relatively calm, but the more she looked, the more focused she became.
When faced with her disciple's request for guidance, Eve was actually somewhat moved.
Li Ang was such an outstanding disciple that her mentor often felt she hadn't given him much substantial guidance.
She felt a touch of joy that he had come to ask for her advice.
However, as I read on, this joy was quickly replaced by a sense of solemnity.
Targeted tissue regeneration agents?
The goal is to completely regenerate a necrotic organ.
This is as difficult as restoring those lost ancient prescriptions!
Even she, after a series of mental deductions, could not come up with a solution to compensate for that targeted defect.
However, the ingenuity of the formula draft that Li Ang presented also deeply amazed her.
Thinking of the law enforcement girl who lost her left eye, Eve immediately understood Leon's motivation for developing this drug.
What alarmed her even more was that, judging from the timeline, Li Ang had probably only spent a short day developing the formula to such an extent, relying on his own comprehension.
This talent is truly terrifying.
Eve remained silent for a long time, then gently touched the spot on the parchment with her fingertip that raised the question about the drug's potency, before slowly beginning to speak:
"Li Ang, your concept is actually very close to the legendary potion."
She stood up, walked back to her room, and came out a moment later with a small box that looked somewhat familiar to Li Ang. It was the same box Eve had taken out when Li Ang tested the drug last time.
Eve opened the box, and instantly an aura containing boundless vitality and pure magic spread out, clearly indicating that the box had an extremely strong insulating effect.
She carefully took out the bottle of potion, which shimmered with a soft iridescent glow, and handed it to Li Ang.
"What do you think of this potion?" Eve asked.
Li Ang accepted the bottle with both hands. Even through the crystal bottle, he could feel the immense power it contained, far exceeding any potion he knew.
It was a powerful life force that seemed capable of healing all wounds and even reversing life and death.
Li Ang suppressed his shock and answered truthfully:
"It's incredibly powerful. The life force it contains is at a level I've never experienced before; it feels like it can heal almost anything."
Eve nodded, took the potion, and looked at it with a complicated expression:
"This is the problem you're facing, the so-called 'panacea.' Even the great alchemists of the past have encountered it."
She paused, then continued:
"The solution they ultimately chose was not to try to guide it like you did, but rather to continue to enhance it, enhancing it to the point that even when the medicine's effects are dispersed throughout the body, it can still heal any serious injury. This is why the panacea can cure almost all known ailments and injuries."
Li Ang immediately grasped the key point:
"Then, how was this enhancement achieved? As far as I know, even with the highest purity purification and optimal combination, the efficacy of existing medicinal materials cannot reach this level. Is there some key ingredient that has become extinct?"
Eve looked into Leon's inquisitive eyes and whispered the truth:
"That's right, there is a key item that has disappeared. It is not a plant or mineral in the usual sense, but the Blood of God."
"【Blood of God】?" Li Ang repeated the unfamiliar term.
"Yes, a legendary substance that is exclusive to the Elven race. No one knows exactly what it is. The Elves call it the Water of Origin, but because it has a beautiful color like liquid ruby, other races are more accustomed to calling it the Blood of the Gods."
Eve's voice, tinged with a distant quality, continued:
"It is considered the core ingredient for crafting all legendary potions. Since the elves severed ties with humans and retreated to their sacred land of Avalon, humans have been unable to obtain the Blood of the Gods. Therefore, even the most skilled alchemists can no longer craft true legendary potions."
An elf? Li Ang's gaze unconsciously fell on Eve's ears, which were more pointed than those of ordinary people and so white they were almost transparent.
A question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time almost slipped out. He hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and asked softly:
"Mentor—are you also an elf?"
Eve paused slightly, then a complex expression appeared on her face. She first shook her head, then nodded gently, explaining:
"No, I am only a half-elf. My mother was a pure-blooded elf, but I have never even seen her."
Then, a hint of melancholy crept into her voice:
"Therefore, I do not possess the blood of God."
It seems she mistakenly thought that Li Ang was asking about her identity in order to obtain the legendary material through her.
Li Ang quickly shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, and explained, "No, mentor, you misunderstood. I was just—just asking casually."
Eve nodded, not dwelling on the matter further. She put the crystal bottle back in the box and pushed it towards Li Ang.
Her tone was indifferent, as if she were merely giving away an insignificant gift:
"Take it. To me, this is more of a cherished memory. Perhaps it will be truly useful in your hands, and maybe you really can break the shackles of divine blood and restore the potion to its legendary status."
Li Ang's breath caught in his throat as he stared at the legendary bottle of "panacea," feeling an immense weight upon it. His first instinct was to refuse it.
"Mentor, this is far too precious! I—"
Eve gently raised her hand, stopping him from saying anything more. She simply looked at him quietly with her light blue eyes, which held no urging or condescension, only a pure expectation and a barely perceptible recognition that she regarded him as her true successor.
