The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life 47

"Today's portion of Pride has yet to be harvested."

"Just one drop, perhaps that would be enough to make this flower bloom!"

"But this month's quota has already been exhausted."

"If I continue to harvest any further, I will have to bear a certain amount of risk."

"But if it's just one extra drop..."

Dark fell into a dilemma similar to Victor's.

Unlimited Bounty

Novel Site

Launch update (because the word count is truly too high now, I apologize to everyone).

I can probably manage a ten-chapter update on the day of the launch.

Ten chapters is my limit; firstly, I have other work every day, and secondly, I cannot write this book very quickly. I don't think anyone wants to see the story collapse from being rushed.

The launch time is Friday, July 31st at noon; I haven't experienced this before, so I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

As a newbie who doesn't know the rules, I've set the bounty based on my own situation. If it's not acceptable, just pretend you never saw it. Novel Site

Recommendation Tickets: 5,000 for one extra chapter (currently receiving 5,000-6,000 daily, which means a guaranteed extra chapter every day after launch to show my determination and motivate myself).

Monthly Tickets: 200 for one extra chapter.

Tips: 200 JPY for one extra chapter (I do not recommend tipping; treasure chests are calculated based on the actual amount received, and "Universal Celebration" = 0).

Blades: No perfect attendance this month, so no extra chapters for now; I will reopen the bounty at the beginning of next month.

In principle, I do not recommend tipping. If you can just vote and subscribe to the full book after launch, I will be satisfied. There is a base of two chapters per day, and I will keep a record of any missed days.

Adjustments will be made as appropriate after launch.

※ Nothing else to say. You can tell the author's style from the writing. I don't have that "cat-like" trend; at most, I'm just a bit slow with updates.

※ No history of pretentious literary syndrome.

The current data is as follows.

Recommendation Tickets: 75,573 (I really want to do 10,000 for one chapter, (tt).)

Monthly Tickets: 3,101 (You've all voted so much this month, surely there can't be any left, right?)

Tips: 70,564 (Keep your money for subscriptions.)

Finally, here is a little Eevee for everyone. Don't let Eevee-chan feel too awkward.

Chapter 61: Dark Demon's Second Magic Spirit Card

"Meow, meow, meow!"

Dark held the Meow Meow Grass on his lap, scratching its chin while carefully observing the flower bud atop its head.

Overall, the Meow Meow Grass itself had instinctively protected its bud, resulting in no damage whatsoever.

Dark suppressed the urge to add "another drop" and attempted to construct a different hypothesis: "If I don't increase the 'Pride', can I encourage the bud to bloom through normal cultivation?"

After all, autumn was the season for Meow Meow Grass to bloom and bear fruit.

Thinking this, Dark finally managed to push down his impulse.

With the situation currently stable, there was truly no need to take such a risk.

The brain was, after all, the most complex system in the human body; a single mishap could cause irreparable damage.

Relying on the self-control he had honed over this past month, Dark successfully steadied his resolve.

But he soon had a new line of thought: even if he didn't wait for it to bloom and bear fruit, couldn't he still conduct experiments?

Although the bud couldn't be touched, the Meow Meow Grass itself possessed a succulent stem, and the fur on its body existed analogously to the needles of a cactus.

Its absorption and conversion of "Pride" could not possibly be one hundred percent.

A portion of the leakage would very likely diffuse throughout its entire body.

So, would it be feasible to use the cat fur for experiments first?

Thinking of this, Dark opened the Magic Spirit Transmutation: General Manual and quickly found the basic transmutation methods for [Beast Type - Grass Attribute] and [Plant Type - Grass Attribute].

As of now, the Meow Meow Grass had not displayed any other attributes. Based on its ecology, it appeared to be a beast-type cat on the surface, but in essence, it was a plant-type creature.

Therefore, he would tentatively conduct experiments along these two paths.

He first transcribed these two basic transmutation methods, both for ease of access and to familiarize himself with them through memory.

Next, he selected ten long hairs from the area near the crest on the Meow Meow Grass's head, clipped them off, rinsed them with clean water, and then dried and pressed them.

Afterward, he shut the mischievous Meow Meow Grass away on the balcony.

Everything was ready.

Dark began his experiment with great enthusiasm.

Professor Kazel had not assigned any related homework for this lesson. However, this was merely to provide the students with a buffer period; next Monday's Magic Theory would be experiment-focused, requiring students to bring their own materials such as fur and plant organs.

Of course, if students were ambitious, Professor Kazel never minded lending them the keys to the laboratory.

Dark didn't really need that anymore, as he had his own small laboratory.

First came the brewing of the Magic Potion, then the processing of the materials.

Although the "Basic Transmutation Method" carried the word "basic," it was actually far more difficult than the production of a "Magic Phantom Beast."

The production of a "Magic Phantom Beast" only required following the steps one by one; aside from the sheer number of steps, there was no real difficulty.

But the "Basic Transmutation Method" involved more transmutation circles, all of which were relatively complex, and some Magic Potion brewing requirements were very high—a single moment of carelessness could lead to failure.

Throughout the entire transmutation process, a single mistake could mean having to start all over again.

Fortunately, he was only using basic materials.

The materials Dark had bought over the weekend were just enough to be put to use.

He first followed the steps to produce a small bottle of Spirit Honey Nectar.

As the foundation for cultivating quasi-lifeforms, Spirit Honey Nectar was widely applied in the transmutation of Magic Spirit Cards.

Almost all basic transmutation methods utilized this special Magic Potion.

In addition, Lobotomy Essence Water was also a highly versatile Magic Potion.

After this, Dark also prepared a bottle of Lobotomy Essence Water.

The entire preparation process took half an hour, and he had produced at least two portions of every Magic Potion and material.

Dark never felt impatient during the process of making Magic Potions; he was always able to maintain an enthusiastic state. Thus, the Magic Potions he concocted also carried a touch of "spirituality."

Next, he took out a blank Magitech Card, laid it flat on the desktop, spread the Spirit Honey Nectar evenly, and then poured on a drop of Lobotomy Essence Water.

After letting it air-dry slightly, he applied a layer of deep green "Plant Essential Oil" and sprinkled on the grass-attribute "Attribute Powder."

"Attribute Powder" was a standard medicinal powder, divided into 20 types of attributes.

Its production process was extremely complex, so people generally bought the finished product.

Dark had bought an entire set of Attribute Powder.

Afterward, he needed to draw the Transmutation Circle No. 7 to first fuse this portion of materials with the blank Magitech Card.

This was only the first major step.

It took a total of fifty-five minutes.

On Dark's desk lay a semi-finished Magitech Card with an extremely high level of completion.

The face of this Magitech Card leaned toward green, belonging to the [Plant Species - Grass Attribute].

"The final step."

Dark took a light breath, picked up the Magic Pen, swapped the mercury core for the Chlorophyll Potion, and began to draw the No. 1 Transmutation Circle.

This time, it took only 14 seconds!

The No. 1 Transmutation Circle was completed!

The moment the circuits connected, the entire transmutation circle erupted with a faint green light!

Dark carefully used tweezers to pick up a hair from a Meow Meow Grass and placed it above the No. 1 Transmutation Circle!

The hair was gradually swallowed by the green light.

However, the light of the No. 1 Transmutation Circle did not intensify.

He weighed the situation for a moment, then continued to add a second, a third cat hair... until finally, he tossed all ten cat hairs in.

The light strengthened slightly, but it became very unstable.

Dark rolled his eyes, clipped a bit of his own fingernail, and dropped it in.

In an instant, the green light exploded!

All the materials were devoured, and the entire Magitech Card turned into a green cocoon.
