Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 448 The Infinite Potential of the Book Saint
Sleeping only two hours a day… The sage of books smiled bitterly, looked around, and finally said stubbornly:
"Are there really people in this world who only sleep two hours a day? Is it possible to have a little more time?"

"Wakuwaku (I can!!!)"

Beside the Ice Witch, a tiny water sprite raised its little fist and said proudly.

As the strongest support character, the Water Sprite can fight with all its might 24 hours a day as long as there is enough seawater.

The Ice Witch crouched down, looked affectionately at the water sprite at her feet, and patted its head:
"Number Seven, come here. Report to me daily on Aslina's working hours."

She handed the Whip of Pain to Water Sprite Number Seven.

"..."

The saint of books froze, looking like a salted fish that had lost its dreams!

This is treating her like a slave!

Moreover, they actually entrusted the supervision of the project to a workaholic pet.

After speaking, the Ice Witch stood up, patted the Book Saint on the shoulder, and said gently:

"Azlina, keep up the good work! If you do a great job, I'll give you a reward."

"I'll go take care of other things first."

"Oh, right, Qi, don't forget to see Fen. She has a surprise for you."

The Ice Witch bid farewell to Chen Qi and the others, and left the unfinished Rift Workshop ahead of them.

Surprise… Chen Qi was taken aback.

The Saint of Books turned around and silently watched the Ice Witch disappear at the end of the basement.

"Ah--"

After the Ice Witch left, the Book Saint skillfully took out a magic book, created a spiritual stool, and then sat down on it like a salted fish.

Without the Ice Witch, even though the Black Hunter is already a Saint, he is ultimately just her junior.

"Little Black Hair—"

The sage of books proficiently proclaimed:

"Do you have anything good to eat here? Do you know that building the Rift Workshop is a very physically demanding task!"

"The last time I visited the Kingdom of Beli, Mrs. Ollie treated me to top-quality Black Dragon Roast Meat. You should know what elegance is now, right?"

"..."

Chen Qi looked at the Sage of Books with a speechless expression.

Indeed, getting a saint to obey is an extremely difficult thing.

If he and the Ice Witch weren't keeping an eye on the Book Saint, she would slack off at any moment.

Snapped!
At that moment, a sharp semi-circular trajectory flashed across the sky—

Snapped!Snapped!
Two crisp cracks of whips.

"Wakuwaku! (Time to get to work!)"

Chen Qi, Palu, Buli, and the others suddenly widened their pupils.

Without hesitation, Water Sprite Number Seven wielded the Whip of Pain and lashed out at the wound of the Book Saint.

However, despite being struck by a weak water sprite—

The Saint of Books couldn't help but twitch, instinctively biting his lip, and looked at Water Sprite Number Seven in utter astonishment!

They dared to slap a mere Water Sprite No. 7!

"Wakuwaku (Time to get to work...)"

Water Sprite No. 3 also emerged from Chen Qi's feet.

"what--"

The saint of books gritted his teeth in anger.

Although the damage is only zero, it has extremely high mental damage!
The Whip of Pain is one of the artifacts of the Ice Witch's homeland, the Kingdom of Winter.

Even a weak first-tier superhuman can inflict extreme pain and feel remorse when using this whip!
"You scum, you too—"

The sage of books was furious.

However, faced with this terrifying spiritual power, Water Sprite Number Seven lashed out with its whip once more—

hateful--

I will endure!

"Fine!"

The sage of books shrank back when he saw the shape of the whip.

Even if she were a saint, it would be difficult for her to endure the whip of torment!
This is a top-of-the-line torture device.

The Sage of Books obediently took out his Workshop Book, channeled his spiritual power, and began constructing the Rift Workshop.

It's finally stable... Chen Qi looked at the Book Saint working quietly.

With the Book Saint building the Rift Workshop, his strength, and the strength of the entire Moonstone City, will advance by leaps and bounds.

Suddenly, Chen Qi remembered something.

There was one more thing he forgot to tell the Saint of Books.

That was the special rift weapon he obtained from the Sea God, 'Echoing Flame of the Abyss'.

This is a Rift weapon with an extremely terrifying effect on mental pollution, but it cannot be used without reforging at the Rift Workshop.

Chen Qi asked:

"By the way, Saint of Books, I have another weapon that I'd like you to repair."

"I am a great saint, why are you treating me like a repairman..." the Saint of Books said with a gloomy expression.

"Alright, Little Blackie, take it out and let me see it."

Chen Qi passed the fire of the abyss echoing to the saint of books.

To probe the spiritual power of this weapon is to probe the abyss.

If it were a third-tier superhuman, one glance would be fatal.

The Sage of Books adjusted his glasses and, without hesitation, probed its spiritual power.

Boom!

Instantly, the eyes of the Saint of Books were shrouded in a thick abyss and black flames.

After a long while, the darkness in her eyes dissipated, and she said excitedly:

"A domain-level rift weapon, interesting! Do you have any mental resistance skills?"

Chen Qi told the truth and then told Aslina about his vision for the field.

"Wow~"

The saint of books adjusted his glasses:

"You're lucky. This is a weapon made from a unique material from the corrupted rift. These types of weapons are also known as Abyss Rift weapons, which are super-powerful equipment that surpasses ordinary rift weapons."

This kind of weapon can only be created by monsters like the A-rank Rift and the Shadow Weaver King; even I cannot synthesize it.

"Abyss weapons are perfect for natural berserkers. With your fourth-tier class talent, once I repair them and you practice a bit, you'll be able to possess a Shadow/Blade Aspect domain skill!"

The saint of books raised his head and stroked his chin:
"Once this crack is halfway built, I should be able to fix it for you."

half……

A joyful start to the morning.

The vast ocean was his domain.

Once he gains control of the domain, he will have the ability to slay the Blood Lion.

"Thank you, Saint of Books."

Chen Qi said with a smile:

"Also, don't call me Little Black Hair..."

He didn't want anyone else to call him by that nickname besides "Ice Witch".

"Huh? This holy being will call you whatever I want! Even if I call you a little stray dog..."

"The Saint of Books said arrogantly."

Snapped!
In the next instant, Water Sprite No. 7's tiny water fist once again used the Whip of Pain, lashing out fiercely.

The crisp sound of a whip!

Ouch! The Saint of Books struggled to maintain his posture, biting his lip as he said:
"Alright, Black Hunter, I'm going to get to work. You third-tier useless mechanic over there, you'll be my assistant and move the anti-magic crystals."

Oh, and don't forget to prepare dinner for me.

"no problem."

"Bree said."

Under the supervision of Water Sprite No. 7, the Book Saint set up a drafting table and drew up blueprints within minutes.

Soon, the master of books was immersed in the atmosphere of work.

There shouldn't be any problem...

The potential of a master of books is like a sponge; if you squeeze it, there will always be something left.

He believed in the boundless potential of the saint of books!

Seeing the Sage of Books engrossed in his work, Chen Qi patted An on the shoulder and left the workshop with Little Crow and Palu.

He hasn't visited Fen yet since he came back this time.

There aren't many qualified pharmacists.

Currently, the research on the Black Blood Medicine is entirely handled by Fen alone.

……

……

Chen Qi and the others returned to the refuge on the island.

"The sunshine feels so nice—"

Chen Qi stretched and carefully looked around the island. This was the island chosen by the Ice Witch.

Located near Maro Town, this island boasts fertile land and a rich grassland. It was originally a vacation island for the Magic Bullet Family, so it remained undeveloped.

Meanwhile, next to the small island, there are four other large islands.

Five interconnected islands—this is arguably the most expensive island group in Maro Town.

Under the Ice Witch's arrangement, this land also became their base.

Whether it's for housing sea creatures, transporting supplies, or constructing structures within the cracks, it's a pretty good location.

One of the islands was requisitioned by Finn for the research and development of magic potions!

"Qi, where do we go next?"

An asked.

She originally wanted to ask her teacher for a skill card to advance to the fifth rank.

However, fearing that the teacher would lose her temper, she held back.

She hasn't been back to Marlowe for a long time.

The changes in the Maro Islands today far exceed her imagination.

The little crow clutched its chest tightly, remaining silent and only panting.

“Ann, I’ll take you to see Fen.”

"Fen? Is that the Flower Witch?"

An looked puzzled.

"Yes, both of you need to be treated for the black blood poison."

Chen Qi looked at the wound on An's chest.

An had finally recovered from her injuries, but now she was afflicted with the most dangerous Black Blood Poison in the world.

The little crow was already terminally ill.

Now, even walking normally is somewhat painful for her.

The Black Blood Poison has worsened again... Chen Qi shook his head and sighed.

Hopefully, the potions from these Black God Soldiers will help Fen develop an antidote for the Black Blood Poison ahead of time.

"Little crow, come here—"

Chen Qi, supporting the little crow, walked towards Fen's potion island.

……

……

On Potions Island, in a potions workshop temporarily converted from a resort, a witch wearing a huge hooded witch's hat looks mysterious.

"Only one last step remains."

"The witch murmured."

Her hands, stained with various juices, wielded her spiritual power, constantly stirring the potion cauldron. Then, she sprinkled in the fruit of the Moonlit Sea Dragon, petals of the Abyss Flower, and blood from the dragon's heart.

As the petals fell, the entire potion cauldron suddenly boiled, and the thick black smoke resembled the face of a terrifying demon!

"Finally, there's progress!"

She suddenly grabbed the quill pen she was using to record experiments, dipped it in the scalding hot medicine, and drew a crooked heart on the notebook.

awesome!
"Perfect! This is the recipe!"

The witch's enormous witch's hat began to shake wildly uncontrollably.

The potion cauldron seemed to whirlpool, constantly removing impurities, and in the center, a deep abyss of liquid condensed.

The witch slowly poured the potion into a vial, then held it high:

"success!"

"The prototype of the Great Sage's Potion!!!"

"With this potion, Qi will become even more powerful!!!"

A super excited little yellow flower sprouted from the top of Fen's head!
This flower made the heavy witch's hat bounce!
However, this joy did not last long...

She was all alone in the empty potions workshop.

She was all alone...

The teacher was building the Witch's Workshop, but Chen Qi, citing the danger, went out to sea with the little crow.

"Ugh……"

Finn looked at the scalding hot Great Sage-level potion in front of her and suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

At this moment, no one could share this joy with her.

"Ugh……"

Fen sighed, "I vaguely remember Qi. It's only been a few days..."

Just then, a light and melodious voice came from behind.

"Miss Witch, is this spiritual energy field... are you concocting a sage-level potion?"

"Who is it? This is the potions workshop. Outsiders are not allowed to come in casually. It's easy to get infected!"

Fen turned around angrily and glanced at the entrance of the workshop.

In an instant, she saw the little crow and An.

And there's Qi supporting the little crow!
A small pink flower instantly appeared on Fen's head:

"Qi, you're back. This is..."

Fen remembered An, but for a moment she didn't know how to address her.

All she remembered was that this person seemed to be from the same town as Chen Qi.

The two of them seem to be childhood sweethearts!

That hateful childhood sweetheart!
Fen's smile vanished instantly.

An bowed, performing an elegant gesture of courtesy:

"Miss Witch, my name is An. Because of some things that happened, Qi and I came back together..."

"I understand, An."

Fen turned her head to the side and said coldly.

Why does it feel like Miss Witch is a little unhappy to see me...? An broke out in a cold sweat.

She suddenly remembered that she had once hunted witches, and had even attacked them when she lost control.

"I apologize, Miss Witch. It was my rudeness earlier."

An said sincerely.

"I understand, I won't be angry about those things."

Fen pouted and continued fiddling with the medicine.

"Aren't you really going to get angry...?" An pursed her lips, feeling that Fen was somewhat hostile towards her.

Chen Qi asked:

"Fen, how is your blood flower disease?"

Fen's Blood Flower Disease is a deformity disease no less severe than the Black Blood Poison.

Their island is now practically overflowing with patients.

Fen jumped up and down twice:

"Qi, don't worry, I'm fine!"

"That's good……"

Chen Qi reached out and touched the little crow's forehead:
"The little raven's Black Blood Disease is already in its late stages. Fen, has there been any progress in your research on the Black Blood Poison?"

After saying that, Chen Qi handed over all the black blood he had collected in this battle to Fen, and looked at the little crow with concern.

"..."

Fen looked at Chen Qi's concerned gaze towards the little crow and felt inexplicably uneasy.

A little annoyed! They were too close!

Fen pouted and said:

"Qi, we have extracted the blood of the Abyssal Sea Beast and completed the cultivation of the Abyssal Sea Flower. Currently, we have produced the first potion, but this potion can only provide temporary relief..."

Finn took two vials of Abyss Blood potion from the potion table and handed them to An and the little crow:
"As for the next vial, we will need more blood from the abyssal sea beasts."

"Thank you, Miss Witch."

An took the medicine and swallowed it. Immediately, she felt the spiritual energy flowing through her body, filled with a deep abyss power.

Although it was very uncomfortable, it did relieve the pain caused by the black blood.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fen."

Chen Qi gently poured the medicine into the little crow's mouth.

It seems he still needs to find a way to contract more abyssal sea beasts.

However, the number of sea beasts capable of producing Abyssal Blood is limited. Only when the Shepherd's Lamp is released can mass production of Abyssal Blood be achieved.

"Qi, let me take care of the little crow..."

Fen went over, hugged the little crow to her arms, and then gently placed it on the bed.

After settling the little crow, Chen Qi asked:

"By the way, do you have any surprise for me?"

"hey-hey!"

Fen raised her head, held up two fingers, and said proudly:
"First, I created a Great Sage-level potion!"

"Secondly, Qi, I have found a special pet for you that you can perfectly contract with!"
