Star Level Force Evolution Potion

Sizzle—

It sounded like a drop of water falling onto a red-hot iron plate.

Within Lin Qingyu's Will Space, the potion materials and container he had used, along with one hand of his Information Model Body, were instantly vaporized.

"Potion configuration really does carry certain risks. No wonder those potion masters prefer working in the Virtual Universe," Lin Qingyu remarked.

His first attempt at configuring a potion had failed.

However, he was not discouraged. Failure was the mother of success, and he had gained a great deal from this failure.

"At 2 minutes and 33.725 seconds, the wood, water, and earth Origin Energy within the Three-colored Fish Crystal were stimulated by the Nine-patterned Snow Wood, changing from a particulate state into an energy field. At that point, I should have used my own Origin Force to replenish and catalyze that energy field. While stabilizing the three energy fields, I should have expanded them to envelop the other materials and allow the reaction to continue." Looking at his missing right hand, Lin Qingyu began reviewing the reason for the failed potion configuration based on what he had sensed from the microscopic perspective.

Soon, he identified where he had gone wrong and how to correct it.

"The common method used in the universe is the Katis Energy Supplementation Method, which decomposes one's own Origin Force and reversely converts it into Cosmic Origin Energy. However, my Origin Force differs somewhat from that of a Star level warrior, so I failed to replenish the energy field immediately. The energy field rapidly contracted, producing an Energy-Devouring Effect. The Energy-Devouring Effect caused the Three-colored Fish Crystal to completely run wild and indiscriminately devour other energy, leading to the failure. Next time, I need to guide the Cosmic Origin Energy 58 milliseconds in advance."

Why did potion configuration require a potion master's own Mental Force or Origin Force? The main reason was that the Cosmic Origin Energy contained within potion ingredients often differed, both in attribute and quantity.

What a potion master needed to do was use a certain method to convert their Origin Force and introduce it into the potion ingredients. If an ingredient lacked Origin Energy, they replenished it. If an ingredient contained excessive Origin Energy, they guided part of that energy out.

After failing, ordinary potion masters could also summarize their experiences and reflect on their mistakes. However, at most they reflected on things like technique and the order in which materials were added. That was on an entirely different level from being able to perceive changes in materials from a microscopic perspective.

Unless a Domain Lord or even a World Lord personally configured these potions.

After all, even for Star level potions, the changes in Cosmic Origin Energy during configuration occurred on the molecular scale. To perceive things at the molecular scale, one needed to be at least a Domain Lord.

But Star level potions were completely useless to Domain Lords and stronger experts. They would not bother to painstakingly perceive the potion-making process for so little gain. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time comprehending Origin Laws?

Only some major factions, specifically seeking to explore the most fundamental laws of potion configuration, would deliberately arrange for powerful experts to perceive the changes occurring during the configuration of low-level potions.

Naturally, the data perceived by those experts was extraordinarily precious. Generally, only major factions possessed such inheritances internally.

Most ordinary potion masters only needed to follow the recipe step by step to complete a potion. There was no need for them to investigate the truth behind it.

Only exceptionally gifted potion masters recruited by certain major factions would receive this most precious data, allowing them to fully understand every principle and piece of knowledge contained in a formula—to know not only how, but why.

The difference between the two was like the difference between roughly comprehending the Space Law and completely analyzing its essence.

No matter how much the former practiced, they would only ever be a craftsman, with C-grade Potion configuration as their limit. The latter, however, could continue improving and even create entirely new potion formulas!

"Still, I have the Will Space. Meteorite Star's inheritance given to me by Bata contains formulas as well as data obtained through the insights of certain experts. It won't be difficult for me to completely analyze the techniques contained in a formula." Lin Qingyu was very confident in himself.

First, his talent and comprehension were exceptionally strong—at least stronger than most geniuses who had appeared in the Original work. Second, although Yunmo Star was not a faction specializing in potion research, as an Undying close to the King level Immortal, Huyan Bo possessed quite a few inheritances that even Domain Lords and World Lords considered precious. Naturally, this included some potion master inheritances.

"The operation of Cosmic Energy within potions is fundamentally governed by the Cosmic Origin Law. Completely analyzing a potion formula will not only let me master the knowledge contained within it, but also indirectly verify the Origin Laws I have comprehended. Killing two birds with one stone!"

Lin Qingyu could analyze potion configuration from its most fundamental level. Others merely configured potions, but when Lin Qingyu configured potions within his Will Space, he was not merely configuring them—he was also comprehending the operation of Cosmic Origin Energy and the traces left behind by the Cosmic Origin Law.

Even the Energy-Devouring Reaction produced by this failure was an unexpected gain. It had directly destroyed one of his hands, so its power was not weak. Ordinary people merely knew such a reaction existed, but Lin Qingyu, who possessed a microscopic perspective, could completely understand the mechanism behind it.

As long as he had the materials, Lin Qingyu could reproduce this reaction.

"It's just a little expensive." Lin Qingyu shook his head. If he wanted to reproduce the Energy-Devouring Reaction in the real world, the materials alone would be worth at least tens of millions of Black Dragon Coins.

With that kind of money, he could buy technological weapons capable of harming Star level warriors. A Star level Tier 1 martial artist slave only cost one million Black Dragon Coins.

"Forget it. I should keep configuring potions." Lin Qingyu tossed the failed Information Model aside, replaced it with an undamaged information body, then brought over enough Information Model materials from elsewhere in his Will Space and began his second attempt.

Boom—

This failure caused a violent explosion, but the damage was not as severe as the previous Energy-Devouring Reaction. The new body was not left incomplete.

"Another failure. This time, at 5.764 seconds into the thirty-seventh procedure, I failed to guide out the Fire Attribute Origin Energy inside the Rainbow Fruit in time." Lin Qingyu once again summarized the reason for his failure. "Next time, I need to use the Men's Guidance Method 29 milliseconds earlier."

Lin Qingyu extracted the Information Models of the materials once more. He had prepared thoroughly, duplicating the materials purchased on Qiu Long Star hundreds of thousands of times. It was enough for him to configure dozens of potions, with each type being attempted hundreds of times.

Moreover, he did not need to worry about getting injured inside the Will Space.

Clang—

This time, all the materials instantly froze into a lump. The low temperature they emitted even made Lin Qingyu's hand feel somewhat stiff.

"Was there a problem with the fifty-eighth procedure? The Cosmic Origin Energy inside the Starlight Cold Crystal is too active. It needs to be guided in advance..."

Rustle—

The mixed potion, which had looked nearly complete, suddenly turned into powder.

"At this point... was there an excess of earth-attribute Origin Energy? I really am not good at this."

Lin Qingyu had learned a great deal of potion master knowledge and techniques from Yunmo Star Inheritance, including the unique secrets of Domain Lord level potion masters. Hu Yanbo had, after all, possessed a King-level Immortal as a servant, and he himself had been a Soul Master. After roaming the universe for many years, he had accumulated a considerable foundation.

However, knowledge on paper always felt shallow. Although he knew these techniques, actually performing them still required talent and practice.

Lin Qingyu had great talent, and he had no shortage of opportunities to practice.

After 98 failures, Lin Qingyu finally configured a bottle of potion within his Will Space.

It was a Star Level Force Evolution Potion recorded in Huyan Bo's inheritance. Its effect was to forcibly raise the Origin Force cultivation of warriors at Star level Tier 3 and below by one minor level.

This single bottle of potion was worth more than one billion Black Dragon Coins, more expensive than even a Star level Tier 7 martial artist slave.
