[Level: Lv7 – Expert]

[Skill: Mutant Blood Potion Technique]

[Level: Lv4 – Proficient]

“With such a level in pharmacology, there should be no problem.”

In front of the pharmaceutical table, Zhou Jing looked at the attributes of Apostle No. 3 on the interface and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He had been grinding missions in the workshop for the past few months, using the resources provided by the Empire to practice. The skills related to potion quickly rose to a new level through repeated practice.

Among them, the technique of the Mutant Blood Potion was a new skill not included in the “Pharmacology” category. Zhou Jing had used the merits he had accumulated to exchange for the knowledge of the Mutant Blood Potion that was available in the workshop. He had studied it to Lv4 but had yet to actually make a bottle of the Mutant Blood Potion.

After several months of repetitive labor, even though Zhou Jing was mentally prepared, he could not take it anymore. Entering a sweatshop was indeed not a job that ordinary people could do.

Fortunately, there was a placement mode. During those times, the apostle was even more engrossed in his work than when he projected himself. The apostles in the placement basically had no need for entertainment. Other than eating, drinking, and sleeping, they would fulfill Zhou Jing’s plan every minute. This was the real reason his workshop colleagues had to vomit blood in despair.

After the [Mutant Blood Potion Technique] was upgraded to the “Proficient” level, Zhou Jing took action. Under the strange gazes of his colleagues, he took a mission to improve the formula of the Mutant Blood Potion.

A list of formulas and two bottles of samples was on the pharmaceutical table.

“This Sword-Tailed Eagle Potion has a total of five synthesis formulas. The last improvement was 11 years ago…”

Zhou Jing looked at the formula for the specie on the list carefully, muttering softly to himself.

The Sword-tailed Eagle was a low-risk beast that could even be bred. Although it was low-risk, the advantage was that one had enough materials to practice. If it were a non-breeding beast, there would not be many materials available as well. Therefore, Zhou Jing had specially chosen this potion to improve it.

The main ingredients of the blood potion were divided into two components: main materials and additional materials. The former was naturally the different organs of the mutant beast, while the latter was miscellaneous items like herbs, ore powder, and so on. Therefore, the blood potion made from the same type of mutant beast through different formulas would also affect the quality of the final product. The main point of improvement was to increase the effect and success rate of the potion.

Which part of the mutant beast to collect, what ingredients to use, what method to handle it… The process of making the mutant blood potion was much more complicated than making ordinary potions, and it would be very difficult to improve.

The technical aspect was only one aspect. The most difficult aspect was actually the detection.

Even the Empire’s Workshop, which had mastered the “core technology” behind such an advanced potion, only had a rather simple testing method. They could only roughly determine the quality of the potion, and the accuracy was not high.

It was even harder to analyze the specific parameters of the blood potion… This was because there were only so many people who used the blood potion every year. Thus, samples were quite hard to come by, unlike other potions that could be drunk casually.

Even if they improved a potion formula, it would take a long time to observe and verify it. Without enough samples, it was difficult to determine if the new formula was better or worse—this was also the reason why most people were unwilling to improve the potion.

The various mutant blood potions nowadays used the best formulas that had been verified over time. Many of them were legacies from the tribal era and had not been improved for a long time. It was difficult to delve into proper study for them as a result.

However…

Zhou Jing’s eyes rolled as he picked up a bottle of Sword-tailed Eagle Potion. The item analysis function immediately popped up with detailed information.

The ratio of the ingredients to the potion immediately appeared. Not only that but the quality of the potion was also displayed.

For example, the probability of success of using it and the various characteristics one could inherit after taking it was displayed.

“I don’t need to drink it. I don’t even need a sample. I can test the final effect of a bottle of medicine just with my bare hands. I can see the improvement progress directly and know if the experiment is successful or not. I don’t have to be like other pharmacists who are like headless flies.”

Zhou Jing played with the potion, his eyes flickering.

Such an ability was completely equivalent to being a human quality detector!

For Jason’s next enhancement, he could use this ability to screen out the best potion without relying on luck.

In the Empire’s Workshop, which lacked the means to detect mutant blood potions, such people were definitely a special talent which they were lacking. The importance of being able to ascertain the quality of a potion was so paramount that its mere presence would be able to suppress the efforts of all the other craftsmen.

“This move of mine can be slightly revealed. Others don’t know about my support function and will only treat it as my talent…

My current level is enough to support such a shocking performance. This is a shortcut to obtaining the Empire’s favor. This will allow me to skip grades quickly and become an important workshop member. I’ll be closer to more confidential knowledge and contact the core of power faster.”

Zhou Jing had already thought of this. After carefully thinking about it, he felt the plan was quite feasible.

His plan for the Bill had begun with a steady climb in status. He would gradually come into contact with the core of the Empire’s power and use the information he had to gain benefits, such as finding out more about this world.

At the same time, he would also learn the most valuable mutant blood potion in the Mutant World. In the future, he would produce and sell it himself to create better potions for Jason and the apostles who might take the mutant blood route in the future.

He might even be able to lure out the hidden lifeforms from another dimension.

Bill had lived in the Mutant World for about half a year, and his actions were quite high-profile. Although he did not reveal the words and knowledge of the main world, Zhou Jing felt that a technological talent who was in the limelight would more or less attract the attention of the lifeforms in the alternate dimension.

This matter had always been on his mind.

Zhou Jing had always wanted to know more about lifeforms from other dimensions, but he had no way of doing so. Therefore, he could only lure people to come and contact him. He was thinking of using his identity as an Astral Apostle to communicate with the lifeforms from other dimensions and obtain information.
