The Powerful Witch God
Under the control of the Sea Emperor, several tiny Insect Robot, each the size of a little finger, flew out of the tent where Gu Ding was and began searching for valuables in each tent.
Although the Sea Emperor can detect anything within a kilometer radius of Gu Ding's location, being able to detect it and being able to store it are two different things. Within the Sea Emperor's detection range, he still needs a medium to touch the corresponding item before he can store it in his Storage Space. And in this case, the Insect Robot is the best choice.
While the Insect Robot were busy, Gu Ding also began refining the potion.
When Laudun and Arthas returned, Gu Ding had already prepared a vial of potion, even after he slowed down the refining process.
Looking at the color of the potion, Laudun was also somewhat surprised, "Perfect Quality?!"
"I was lucky!" Gu Ding replied casually, without stopping his work, continuing to refine the second vial of medicine.
Laudun and Arthas went to move more potion materials.
After four trips, the two finally prepared all the potion materials that Gu Ding had requested. At this time, Gu Ding had already refined five bottles of potion, all of Perfect Quality, which left Laudun quite astonished.
"Can I stay?" Arthas was clearly interested in potion making, and he looked at Laudun with some anticipation.
"It depends on whether the apothecary agrees. Your presence here might interfere with his alchemy." Laudun was somewhat worried about leaving Arthas behind. Arthas was a genius within the clan, but after all, he was only First Order Gene Body. As for the apothecary of unknown origin, he himself couldn't quite figure him out.
"As long as you don't cause trouble, I'll kick you out," Gu Ding said expressionlessly. He had no good feelings towards Arthas, the future god, after all, the other party had caused great harm to humanity in the Middle Ancient Era.
"Apothecary, I promise I'll just watch from the sidelines." Arthas's face was full of anticipation.
Gu Ding nodded. Arthas was just an ordinary teenager now, and Gu Ding had no intention of making things difficult for him.
Arthas sat quietly in the corner of the room, his eyes fixed on Gu Ding's hands, afraid of missing anything. Gu Ding ignored him, continuing to concoct the potion.
By early the next morning, Gu Ding had already concocted more than 150 bottles of potions, only two of which were of the Limit Quality, while the rest were of Perfect Quality.
Gu Ding looked up at where Arthas was. He was still sitting there, his eyes wide open, looking at Gu Ding with admiration. "You're amazing."
"Thank you," Gu Ding was actually quite happy to hear the praise. He hadn't expected Arthas to stay up all night watching him concoct potions, and to sit there without making a sound.
"Are you interested in potion making?" Gu Ding couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" Arthas nodded vigorously.
"Want to give it a try? The E-grade is a bit difficult for you right now, you can start with the F-grade." Gu Ding said, picking out a few materials and starting to refine them. In just two minutes, a bottle of F-grade Cell Enhancer was formed.
"Find somewhere else to try it yourself. Don't try to refine it here. An explosion will affect the potions I've already made." Gu Ding tossed Arthas a handful of materials and saw him out of the tent.
Arthas left the tent excitedly with the potion ingredients in hand.
Just then, Laudun walked over and, seeing the materials in Arthas's hand, frowned. "Arthas, where did you get these potion materials?"
"It was given to me by the apothecary, who also taught me how to refine F-grade Cell Enhancer." Arthas seemed very happy.
"You were there all night?" Laudun couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that apothecary is very skilled. He has concocted many potions of Perfect Quality." Arthas was utterly impressed by Gu Ding.
Without asking any further questions, Laudun rushed into the tent. Looking at the piles of Perfect Quality potions on the ground, he was utterly astonished. "No wonder the High Priest said he was a genius alchemist..."
"I'm a bit exhausted, and I had trouble concentrating while refining the last two bottles. I'll rest for an hour, and you can call me when it's time to continue refining." Gu Ding lay down on the rattan bench and slowly closed his eyes.
Laudun wanted to argue and tell Gu Ding to keep working, but when he saw the Perfect Quality potions, he shut up, turned and left the tent, heading towards the High Priest's tent.
"He concocted over 150 potions in one night, almost all of them of Perfect Quality!" Laudun reported this to the High Priest in High Priest tent.
"I understand." The High Priest didn't seem surprised by Gu Ding's potion-making skills. "Just keep an eye on him and let me know immediately if anything happens."
Laudun quickly withdrew from the tent.
The High Priest flicked his finger, and the tent flap slammed shut. He pulled a golden goblet from his robes, placed it respectfully on the ground before him, then took out a small knife and forcefully slit his wrist, letting the crimson blood flow into the goblet. Only when the goblet overflowed with blood did he wipe his wound with his finger, and the wound healed instantly.
Then, he began to make strange syllables, making it impossible to understand what he was saying.
After a few minutes, the blood in the glass began to decrease slowly, and a cloud of black mist slowly condensed above the glass.
"Great Witch God, please guide us!" The High Priest knelt respectfully on the ground.
"Regardless of whether the potion is prepared in sufficient quantities, kill three outsiders before sunset tomorrow. This Time Reversal can only last until then at most..." A strange voice echoed from the swirling black mist.
After saying this, the blood in the wine glass dried up completely, and the black mist gradually dissipated.
Unbeknownst to the High Priest, a mosquito had just landed on a water glass not far from him and witnessed the whole thing.
Sea Emperor had seen everything through the robot he had just encountered. After a moment's thought, he told Gu Ding about it.
"Was this Time Reversal man-made?" Gu Ding asked, somewhat puzzled. "But didn't you say before that gods shouldn't be able to do such a thing?"
"Even gods have varying strengths. That Witch God must be an extremely powerful being among the gods. I never imagined that a god could actually possess such power." This matter was completely beyond the scope of the Sea Emperor's database, leading the Sea Emperor to make an incorrect judgment. If it weren't for Robert's robot, Gu Ding other two would likely have remained completely in the dark.
"How can I escape from the Twelfth-Order Gene Body before sunset tomorrow?" Gu Ding frowned.
