Black Sea Magic Potion and Transformation

Evan held the exquisitely crafted wooden box back to his residence. Gary, not overly concerned about the contents, had already retreated to his own room as expected.

Months of training were enough to make a reckless, simple country boy suppress his true nature and learn the ways of the world. This was perhaps the price of maturity. It was true for Gary, and it was true for Evan as well.

He opened the wooden box, and as expected, it was just as he'd imagined.

A processed, fist-sized, semi-crystallized heart lay quietly on the silk cushion inside the box. Faint red spiritual light pulsed within it, giving it an almost mystical aura.

"Is it a Blue Flag Demon Shark?"

He took out a label from the box. It clearly recorded the source and capture location of this extraordinary material: a Blue Flag Demon Shark caught on the Headwind Route.

It had been captured not long ago, just over half a month prior.

The Blue Flag Demon Shark was a Demonic Creature that lived in the Black Sea Waters, known for its astonishing swimming speed and endurance. In the oceanic food chain, it ranked just below Sea Monsters and various giant Demon Creatures, making it an exceptionally adaptable extraordinary predator.

Evan hailed from the Garratt Family, an Extraordinary Knight lineage with over a hundred years of history. He was no stranger to knowledge regarding Knight transformations.

During an Extraordinary Transformation, the primary extraordinary material from different sources would provide directional guidance for the Knight Tier's Savage Body Transformation. Some individuals excelled in strength, others in speed, and some in physique. Choosing the wrong material could adversely affect one's future path.

Evan's main attribute was Agility, making this speed-focused Blue Flag Demon Shark a perfect fit for him.

Furthermore, even among Agility-attribute extraordinary materials, the Blue Flag Demon Shark was considered one of the best raw ingredients.

Of course, this wasn't to say the Demonic Creature itself was overwhelmingly powerful. Rather, it belonged to the category of materials most suitable for Apprentice Knights undergoing Extraordinary Transformation, offering the best effects with minimal side effects.

Demonic Creatures and the ferocious beasts Evan had encountered before were fundamentally similar. The difference was that ferocious beasts were originally ordinary creatures that had undergone a transformation due to the influence of mystical factors. Demonic Creatures, on the other hand, were innately extraordinary and could reproduce normally, forming stable populations.

Whether Demonic Creatures or human Extraordinary people, they would form their own "Extraordinary Organs" when advancing to become true Extraordinary Creatures.

However, this "organ" was not a physical organ in the conventional sense, like eyes, arms, heart, or liver. It was a conceptual existence.

This "Extraordinary Organ" could never be found within their bodies while the Extraordinary Creature was alive.

But once an Extraordinary Creature died, its extraordinary characteristics had a certain probability of condensing into a specific organ within its body, thus being preserved.

This meant that even after painstakingly finding a suitable Extraordinary Creature and hunting it at the risk of one's life, there was no guarantee of obtaining the desired item 100%.

In fact, it was a low probability event for the extraordinary characteristics to condense into a material at all. More often, they would dissipate with the owner's death and return to the Spirit World's cycle. This scarcity of high-quality extraordinary materials meant that even the wealthiest and most powerful individuals would never have too much.

"This is too precious!"

At least, Evan felt his savings of a few thousand Gold Lions couldn't afford it.

A surge of warmth flowed through him.

Uncle Gell had considered everything meticulously. Evan had planned to discuss the matter of extraordinary characteristics with him after he returned from his outing, but he hadn't expected him to have already arranged everything.

Since that failed attempt to intercept the materials, he had understood how rare a suitable extraordinary characteristic was. Even within a major power like the Kingdom Navy, people resorted to underhanded tactics for them.

Without Gell, Evan couldn't imagine how much longer he would have to toil to obtain suitable materials with his own strength. Even if he eventually succeeded, it wouldn't be of this quality.

Suddenly.

After reuniting with Gell, a faint, almost imperceptible sense of utilitarianism within Evan's heart largely dissipated. He had been an orphan in his past life, and after losing all his family again in this one, his drifting, anchorless heart finally found a place to rest.

Only those who have lost something understand how fortunate it is to have a relative who considers your well-being without expecting anything in return, and how much more they should cherish it!

Hoo—

He patted his cheeks and whispered to himself, "Let's get to work!"

He didn't intend to pick an auspicious date. Both his heightened senses from his Spirit Power and the real-time monitoring from his Data Vision indicated that his current physical condition was optimal.

Today was the day of his advancement!

After telling Gary not to disturb him, Evan entered the makeshift alchemy room converted from the attic. He took out the prepared potion ingredients one by one.

He began brewing the "Black Sea Magic Potion."

With the curtains drawn and under the warm yellow lamplight, as ingredients were added to the crucible, bubbles rose from the dark green liquid.

Pop—

Pop—

If an outsider were to witness this bizarre scene, they would undoubtedly label him an "evil wizard."

While it appeared to be a potion, the brewing process for this advancement concoction was actually quite simple. Its primary purpose wasn't to harmonize the medicinal properties of various ingredients but to maximize the effect of the extraordinary characteristics.

Even a novice could operate it. Adding too much of a certain ingredient or adding it too early wouldn't matter; the magical properties of the extraordinary characteristics would resolve everything!

Not to mention Evan's extensive experience in potion-making at the "White Stone Apothecary." He controlled the entire brewing process perfectly until the final auxiliary ingredient, Iron Reef Moss, was added to the crucible.

Gulp!

The most crucial moment arrived. Evan nervously swallowed.

He carefully took out the precious Blue Flag Demon Shark Demonic Heart. Without any further processing, he placed the entire organ into the crucible.

Pfft—

With a soft sound, the medicinal soup finally underwent a magical change after the addition of the extraordinary material.

The dark green liquid began to boil violently, and a small vortex formed in the center of the crucible. Then, starting from the outermost edge, the potion gradually became clear and transparent from the outside in, as if all its color and essence were being drawn into the central vortex.

One minute, two minutes... Evan carefully maintained the stability of the flame.

Until the changes completely stopped, the entire crucible had thoroughly returned to clear, transparent water.

And in the crucible, a small, blue-green fish was swimming around in the boiling water, as if it were a true living being with a life of its own.

While marveling at the wonders of the extraordinary world, he used a ceramic spoon to scoop out this small fish, quickly pouring it into a glass filled with half a cup of ice water.

Hiss--

After a faint hiss, the small fish, along with the ice water, transformed into a cup of deep blue liquid, as magnificent and mysterious as the deep sea.

Recalling the entire process of the magic potion's changes, each transformation matched the family's inherited records for the "Black Sea Magic Potion."

Evan examined this beautiful magic potion for a while before hesitating no longer, bringing it to his lips and drinking it down in one gulp.

Subsequently.

The Extraordinary Transformation began!!!
