It was a very happy night. Ian had not laughed so stress-free for a long time.

He even used Isengard's communicator to contact his family in Harrison Port.

Although the signal was severely distorted because the Imperial Capital was too far away from Port Harrison, he still heard some intermittent blessings from Elder Puder and his younger brother Ellan.

During the recent period, Ian has also sent some of the Warcraft materials he refined back to Harrison Port - whether it is Elder Pude, his younger brother, or Qingchao and Scott, everyone around him wants to advance. Justification and resources are needed.

In order to ensure that his team can take shape, Ian also has to prepare early.

According to what Elder Puder said, they have received all the resources Ian sent back, but they cannot use them yet.

Elan's training has just begun, and his basic qualities are not enough to become an ascendant. Ian is also very clear about this. After all, in the insect nest path, Elan will not be officially inherited until five or six years later.

Even if it was because of him, it would be a year or two earlier at most. Any sooner would be a kind of harm.

The advancement of the Ascended One is not a pleasant thing, and Ian also found it very painful and unbearable.

This is not a problem that can be overcome by perseverance. If your physical fitness is not up to standard, it would not be surprising if you die.

And Scott is also exercising his body and swordsmanship - speaking of this, Qingchao has really reached the peak of his first level.

It's just that Ian hasn't found the inheritance related to the 'Wave Patroller' yet, so he has to wait for a while.

Although the young man has the inheritance of the true form of the 'Tidebringer' in his hands, this inheritance conflicts with the Wave Patroller. If the change is really going to happen, it would be better to wait for Ian to come over and preside over Qingchao in person.

Based on Qingchao's own plan, he felt that he needed to train for a while to reach the peak of his swordsmanship and physical fitness before considering obtaining materials.

Without Ian, the process of obtaining the materials would probably take a lifetime, and he did realize that his knowledge was insufficient - his culture was seriously lacking, and his whole person lacked faith and ambition, the qualities that can condense the 'rudiment of the soul' .

If you advance rashly, you are likely to fail.

"Ian...I've found the clue."

And just at the end, Elder Pu De concluded with a somewhat meaningful sentence: "When you return to Nanling again, there may be a surprise waiting for you."

"oh?"

Ian knew that something was about to happen that could not be heard by others. He thought about it and realized that this was probably the 'Twin Leaves of Foresight' that Elder Puder had been trying to find.

The two leaves of foresight are a sacred object of the redwood natives. They are only produced in the core of the sea of ​​​​big redwood trees, and can give people the ability to predict for a short time.

It is precisely because of this ability that the Sequoia natives have been able to persist for such a long time and struggle with the imperial forces for so long despite being at a disadvantage. It was also one of the trump cards used by the Sequoia people in the open and covert fights between the Sequoia people and the mountain people before the Empire came.

As a prophet, Ian is naturally very interested in something that can create a prophet.

However, it was foreseen that Futaba did have some prophetic characteristics, which prevented Ian's psychic ability from successfully finding it. Ian also had a premonition that doing so might be troublesome, so he did not deliberately pursue its traces.

On the contrary, Elder Puder had been secretly searching for clues for so many years. In addition, the Sequoia natives had almost collapsed and were all under the control of Viscount Grant. No one hindered him, but he found a few clues.

However, Ian got another theory from the Dragon Worship Cult - the sea of ​​​​big redwood trees may have been sublimated long ago and turned into the entire coastal ecosystem in the southern part of Nanling. The so-called redwood forest is just his sublimation. The remains left behind are just like the remains sold by fairies before reincarnation.

The real foreseeable twin leaves may not be in the core of the redwood forest, but a gift from the ecosystem... He planned to write a letter to Elder Pude to remind him of this.

This is probably Ian's first birthday since coming to Terra.

After all, there is no lingering aftertaste of birthdays in Nanling, and Ian himself is not a person who particularly cares about such things, but once in a while with his friends, he does feel very happy.

After a night of partying, it’s another morning.

After waking up, Ian found that there was a scent of grape juice on his shoulders and hair.

Apparently, Frost Butterfly habitually fell asleep on his hair again.

"This little cutie."

With a sigh, Ian got up, took a shower, and went out to continue his experiments.

In the past two months, Ian has copied almost all the books on alchemy and historical areas in the Imperial Capital Library into silver chips.

At least he didn't let go of any of those valuable classics.

In recognition of Ian's contribution to discovering the stolen books from the Academy of Gnosis, Earl Phoenix generously opened up reading rights to all areas for Ian. In theory, this was illegal because Ian was not a professor, just an ordinary person. An elite alchemist is not even the second level.

Apparently, no one said anything about it.

But Ian always remembers this - now it is because Earl Phoenix is ​​helping him and everyone still remembers his reputation in recent times, so there are no rumors.

After a period of time passes, if he still has no results, these preferential treatment will be withdrawn one by one.

Ability brings power, and power also brings some requirements.

The 'extremely effective potion' that Ian plans to announce this time is the 'result' that he has planned to use as his main research project in recent years.

About half a week ago, Ian had published a paper at the Royal Alchemical Society, exploring the 'special potential' of some potions.

For example, the 'Demonized Weapon Potion', when applied to weapons or bullets, can make the weapons tougher and have the ability to directly shatter some light magic shields and resistances. Similar to ghosts, Psychic shields or incorporeal objects such as ghost curses can also be shattered with demonized weapons.

The general duration of this potion ranges from tens of minutes to more than an hour. The highest level of 'Perfect Demonized Weapon Potion' can last for two hours, and in addition to the above-mentioned abilities, it can also add elemental damage. The properties depend on the user, the effect is very powerful, and it is quite expensive.

However, it is limited to the first energy level.

At the second energy level, the sublime can control the free source matter in the atmosphere and even natural spiritual energy to bless his body. Naturally, he can also bless his own weapons. Although the effect is not as good as that of demonized weapons, it is not much worse.

And because the essence of the magic weapon potion comes from the potion, even if it can be dyed with the user's attributes, it cannot be superimposed.

This is incompatible.

Therefore, this potion is only popular among some veteran mercenary groups and adventurer groups without second level - only they can afford this expensive potion, and only they have the experience and strength to Unleash the power of this potion.

This is the embarrassing thing about magic weapon potions. High energy levels are not available, and low energy levels are too expensive.

But once it is actually used, it can bring considerable blessings. It cannot be said that it is ineffective.

so awkward.

Ian believes that the embarrassing situation of magic weapon potions can be improved, such as the ‘extremely effective improvement’ technique he proposed.

Ian weakened the 'energy-supplying substance' in the original potion and strengthened the 'catalytic substance', so that the magic weapon potion can strengthen the weapon together with the user's source substance after a short period of synchronization with the user's source substance. .

Strengthening can be stacked.

To give a very simple analogy: the original magic weapon has weapon damage +20, additional spiritual damage, penetrates 35% of the shield and 20% of the source resistance. This is a very powerful attribute, a powerful sword Scholars, such as Qingchao.

If Qingchao had a bottle of magic weapon potion in the maze of ice abyss, he could defend the camp by himself. Those frost-sending moths and parasitic beasts that attacked the camp were just rotten fish and shrimps. They were worth a dozen with one sword.

It's a pity that he can't afford to use it... In other words, this thing is similar to a life-saving tool, and it is used to fight for one's life.

However, the second-level sublimator's 'Essence Enhancement' can increase the damage of his weapon by 15, and the other effects are the same, and the effect will continue to increase as the sublimation skills improve.

The two cannot be superimposed.

But after Ian's concept, the effect of this potion became: 'Based on the enhancement of the source of matter, it increases weapon damage by 10 points, increases weapon damage by 10%, and penetrates an additional 20% of shields and 10% of Sephiroth Resistance'.

It seems that the effect has become weaker, but in fact, there is a huge difference between being able to superimpose and not being able to superimpose.

In addition, the enhancement of the potion can increase by a percentage according to the strength of the user, which makes it even more valuable.

Not only that, the so-called extreme effect means that this potion is extremely special in a certain aspect - the polarization of the magic weapon potion is the duration.

Under Ian's improvement, as long as the user holds his own weapon and provides source of energy for maintenance, the potion can last for more than twenty-four hours.

This is enough to support a high-intensity war.

This is just the beginning. Ian plans to create his own alchemy theory based on highly effective potions. The magic weapon potion has the most intuitive effect and is the easiest to verify, so he released the first one.

Of course, there is one more important thing.

This theory is very convenient for writing papers.

Every time you improve a medicine, you can publish a paper.

If this continues, Ian can produce as many papers as others in ten or even nine years.
