"It seems I'll encounter enemies again on this trip to the sea." Feeling this faint premonition of danger, Minos didn't say anything, but his heart was already filled with a bit of anxiety.
To be honest, the backlash from the world's consciousness was indeed a troublesome matter, and the opponents who appeared were almost always top powerhouses from the sea. If it weren't for Minos's flexible moral bottom line and his knowledge of finding a protective umbrella, he would have died long ago.
The first time he encountered Kizaru, it was the Katakuri brothers who helped him take the blame. The second time he encountered Golden Lion, Minos simply bowed down to him, thus saving his own life.
But being like this all the time was too dangerous, like walking a tightrope. The people he found weren't his bodyguards, and furthermore, the world's consciousness backlash wasn't entirely predictable.
"I still need to get stronger quickly. Speaking of which, after healing Golden Lion and inventing the Berserk Potion, I've almost met the conditions for the second wave of transactions."
"If the world's consciousness backlash comes in two waves, even Golden Lion wouldn't be able to withstand it?"
Every time the world's consciousness retaliated, a top powerhouse from the sea would appear. And as everyone knows, while there might be differences in strength among the top powerhouses of the sea, even the strongest couldn't withstand the combined efforts of the weakest two.
That is to say, even the strongest Four Emperors couldn't withstand the combined efforts of two Admirals.
"No, I must make a transaction quickly and see if I can improve my combat power." Minos thought to himself. He found a secluded spot, lay down, and entered the Golden Scales Space.
As for this transaction item, Kaji happened to have a lot of Berserk Potions. He took a tube as well. Although he couldn't use it himself, perhaps he could exchange it for something useful.
In the Scales Space, Minos placed the Berserk Potion on one end of the Golden Scales, and immediately, several light orbs rose from the other end.
Mad Demon Longevity Pill: Originates from the Eternal World. Burns lifespan to exchange for temporary powerful strength.
Hero Water: Originates from the Naruto World. Burns lifespan to exchange for temporary powerful strength.
Heavenly Demon Disintegration Pill: Originates from the Xianxia World. Burns lifespan to exchange for temporary powerful strength.
Minos: ...
What kind of items are these? Do they want me to die faster? They really are items that temporarily increase my combat power!
Fortunately, the remaining three light orbs were different from the first three. Minos patiently continued to read.
Three-Day Certain Death Pill: Originates from the Zhu Xian World. Burns lifespan to heal injuries.
Super God Water: Originates from the Dragon Ball World. Forces the strengthening of one's potential through intense toxicity. Success leads to a complete transformation; failure is certain death.
Fire Kirin Blood: Originates from the Feng Yun World. Internal consumption can directly strengthen potential and increase combat power. External application can grant an invulnerable Kirin body. However, it has a significant impact on the mind; those with weak willpower will fall into a state of madness.
"Alright! So there are no normal choices at all." Minos sighed. It made sense; these kinds of potions inherently have both effects and side effects. The items exchanged would naturally be similar items with great side effects.
However, fortunately, he had already prepared himself mentally for this. Compared to the Three-Eyed Tribe Bloodline, Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, and Vampire Fruit, the value of the Berserk Potion was undoubtedly much lower.
Now that there were side effects, it could be considered a good thing, as it indirectly increased the quality of the traded items. Otherwise, the items obtained through the transaction would likely be useless to someone at Minos's level.
Moreover, even though there were side effects, some of them were not insurmountable.
He reached out and tapped on the Fire Kirin Blood. Soon, a golden light fell into Minos's hand, revealing a red sphere about the size of a baby's fist.
When Minos opened his eyes, he felt a warmth emanating from his hand. Looking up, he saw the blood-red sphere floating above his palm.
Without any hesitation, Minos swallowed the blood-red sphere whole. This was the best way to strengthen himself. While topical application could improve defense and some strength, it was definitely not as effective as internal consumption.
Of course, internal consumption had a major drawback: the Kirin Blood's influence on one's spirit would skyrocket. In Feng Yun, Nie Feng practiced the Ice Heart Art, and even with Kirin Blood passed down through generations, he would still go berserk when emotionally agitated.
Bu Jingyun's Kirin Arm was directly doused with Kirin Blood, yet he managed to suppress its demonic nature, never experiencing major issues. This showed how different internal and external applications were.
As soon as the blood-red sphere entered his throat, Minos felt a scorching hot current spread throughout his body, as if he had swallowed a ball of magma, filling him with excruciating pain. Even the outside world he saw turned completely blood-red, and his mind was flooded with a sense of brutality. His muscles bulged, and as his strength continuously increased, so did his killing intent and other negative emotions.
Trembling, he took out a small bottle from his chest. He opened it slightly, and a brilliant red light emanated from within, accompanied by a sweet wine aroma.
After inhaling just a mouthful of the fragrant wine, Minos felt his mind calm considerably, and his killing intent was greatly suppressed. Without hesitation, he took a gentle sip. Instantly, the pain within his body and the killing intent in his heart melted away like snow in boiling water, and he rapidly returned to his optimal state.
"Hoo... thankfully I have the Holy Grail Wine. Although it doesn't provide direct combat power, its effects are beyond my imagination. Just one sip completely eradicated all the wildness and killing intent from the Kirin Blood, leaving only pure power."
Every seven days, he could use Wine to convert it into Holy Grail Wine. Minos hadn't wasted any of this wine and had poured it all into a portable vial, considering it a life-saving item.
Besides restoring the body to its healthiest state, the Holy Grail Wine could also eliminate all negative mental states. In reality, this was its most valuable attribute.
In the boundless dimensional worlds, abilities or items that could restore the body and heal diseases might be rare, but those that could cure all negative mental influences were exceedingly rare. At least, Minos couldn't recall any true potions in his memory that could eliminate all negative mental influences.
It was precisely thanks to the Holy Grail Wine that Minos dared to swallow the Kirin Blood directly. Otherwise, at most, he could have used the Kirin Blood externally to create something like the Kirin Fist or Kirin Arm, which would have been far less effective than his current situation.
