Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 208 Obtaining the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat Bloodline

Two weeks later, inside Locke's makeshift laboratory.

At this moment, on Locke's workbench, there was an obsidian ore deposit shaped like a coffin. This was a culture bed specially made for cultivating gray mushroom bacteria, which he had ordered from Tyne, the alchemist's assistant at the Chimera Market, for 1000 magic stones.

At this moment, inside the obsidian deposit, there was a black, viscous liquid wriggling, like some kind of sticky ink, but this ink was alive, with countless gray mushroom bacteria rolling inside.

Locke snapped his fingers, and the Tombstone Grimoire automatically flipped through its pages and floated in front of him, opening automatically.

Locke read the information above. Botrytis cinerea is a special type of fungus that depends on negative energy particle fields to live. It is a typical negative energy particle-dependent bacillus.

This bacterium is extremely rare and fragile. It will become extinct as soon as it leaves the specific negative energy particle field environment. It is not common in the natural environment.

However, this Botrytis cinerea has a special ability: its internal plasmids can replicate the negative energy particle information that archaeologists input into it, and use this information to produce cells accordingly.

Archaeologists were able to create pure ancient biological lineages thanks to a special fungus called Botrytis cinerea.

However, cultivating this bacterium is quite expensive. In addition to spending a thousand magic stones to create a special obsidian cultivation coffin, Locke also spent five hundred magic stones to purchase various consumables for the corresponding gray mushroom bacterium, such as inoculum powder, culture medium, and cell division accelerator.

At this moment, Locke extended his right index finger and injected the information in the Modo language that he had read from the skeletal fossil specimens into the obsidian culture coffin.

Half an hour later, Locke injected the Catwoman's bloodline, which he had extracted from her and purified several times using potion-making techniques, into the obsidian cultivation coffin.

Because this involved his own ancient biological bloodline essence, Locke chose not to find an assistant and instead did these things himself.

He has very few reliable assistants now; the only one who is somewhat dependable is Terri, a second-class wizard apprentice.

But Terri also needs to run her own personal pharmaceutical lab in another city, and the memory ointment project is also very important.

After all, the memory ointment can now bring me about 3800 magic stones every month, which is a major source of magic stone income.

It would earn far more money than the Super Mandragora and Iron Wire Goosegrass I currently possess combined.

Locke used the centrifugal extraction method to thoroughly mix the Queen Cat's blood and the Botrytis cinerea to maximize their mixing surface area, thereby accelerating the process of the Botrytis cinerea modifying the Queen Cat's blood.

Fortunately, this is a cultivation at the level of demonic bacteria, so the generation speed is quite fast. If it were a magical plant or magical beast experiment, it would take several months for them to go through several generations.

However, for things at the level of the Demonic Bacteria, by simply adding a drop of a cell division accelerator you purchased, you can achieve several generations in just one or two days.

The next day, at dawn, Locke extracted the black liquid and placed it into a set of [Potion Material Crushing Device] provided to his laboratory by the academy. This device crushed the gray mushroom bacteria into a fragmented mixture, from which he extracted the blood stored in the suspended bubbles within them.

He then placed the shattered mixture into the layered column separation equipment that the Reeves family had previously given him.

The cellular impurities of the fragmented bacteria were filtered out, leaving only the relatively pure bloodline of the modified Cat Queen.

Locke held a vial of blood in his hand, now completely red and devoid of any black color. He nodded slightly. Under the laboratory lights, the blood was crystal clear and quite beautiful.

Locke used his Focusing Spell to stare at the tube of blood. He could see some suspended, luminous spheres among the blood cells, their surfaces covered with special neural synapses, resembling eyeballs.

Those seemed to belong to a creature that had long been extinct. The Three-Eyed Tiger Cat's special bloodline cells were resurrected from ancient fossils beneath the earth by the cat using archaeological and potion-making techniques.

Locke used his right eye to read the Modo language in the blood, comparing it with the Modo language he had read in the fossilized bone specimens.

Locke pondered. "Only about 90% matches, but that's already pretty good. The remaining 10% doesn't matter much; during bloodline modification, some bloodline factors will automatically try to match."

"The key point is that this blood does indeed contain special bloodline cells that only three-eyed tiger-eye cats have."

Over the past two weeks, Locke has repeated this process countless times, from re-cultivating the gray mushroom bacteria to constantly reading the language of Modo, studying archaeological spells, and taking eye magic potions to improve his archaeological skills through drug use.

Finally, through his own efforts, he managed to extract the blood from the three test tubes of the three-eyed tiger cat in front of him.

Of course, because this project is indeed too difficult, he doesn't have enough time, and he has only just started learning archaeology, so the current accuracy of locating the three-eyed tiger cat bloodline is still a bit poor.

This slight difference is a critical threshold, and it may take at least six months, or even more than a year, of effort to make up for it.

Without hesitation, Locke decisively placed the three vials of blood into the synthesis cube. Locke said, "The slight deficiency can be compensated for through synthesis."

Three days later, inside the makeshift laboratory.

Locke retrieved a bright red test tube of blood from the Rubik's Cube. He saw the description on the test tube: Level 7 Synthetic Item, Pure Blood of the Ancient Creature Three-Eyed Tiger Cat: A premium version of Three-Eyed Tiger Cat blood cultivated over three years using pure Gray Mushroom Bacillus and the technique of reading the Modo language, honed by years of practice by archaeologists.

The Three-Eyed Tiger Cat possesses a powerful physique and formidable pupil magic. Using this bloodline might grant one access to some of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat's abilities.

This hard-won blood from the ancient creature, the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat, has many uses, including alchemy and potion making.

Locke immediately used [Summon Tomb Spirit] to read the information in the Mordo language above, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the similarity between the two had reached 95%.

This means that the bloodline he possesses is already very close to that of the ancient creature, the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat.

Of course, there must be some errors in the Modo language that I read from the fossil skeleton specimens.

In other words, this bloodline still differs significantly from that of the original Three-Eyed Tiger Cat.

But you can't force things.

Completely identical bloodlines are almost impossible to obtain from a laboratory.

At least at my current stage, I can't do that.

Perfectionism is a killer; it only slows down your progress.

With a 95% similarity, this lineage already indicates that it has very few side effects and is of high quality.

Locke immediately used potion-making techniques, set up a crucible, and began to prepare the materials he had prepared beforehand, intending to concoct a bloodline separation potion.

Then, he used a bloodline separation potion and a magical centrifugal extraction method to separate the bloodline essence he needed from the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat's blood.

Among these factors, the quality of the bloodline separation potion designed by oneself and the proficiency in the magic centrifugal extraction method used by oneself also greatly affect the quality of the final product, the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat Bloodline Modification Potion.

After completing all this, Locke did not immediately move on to the next step. Instead, he began to think about the formula design of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat Bloodline Modification Potion, to see if there were any omissions or aspects that had not been considered.

Bloodline modification potions are a potion system with certain rules.

Therefore, as long as he follows this modern potion-making bloodline modification design system and makes slight adjustments to the potion formula, he can create a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline modification potion.

This step also greatly affects the quality of the final product.

A day later, in the evening, Locke breathed a long sigh of relief. He hadn't slept for two days straight while conducting this experiment.

But looking at the two bottles of bloodline modification potion in front of him, he still managed a slight smile.

I succeeded.

Before me were two bottles of Three-Eyed Tiger Cat Bloodline Modification Potion.

"After so much effort, I have finally completed the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat Bloodline Modification Potion." Without hesitation, Locke picked up the potion and injected it into his body using a syringe.

Because this technology is relatively mature for archaeologists, they don't need to verify it themselves. "Let me see just how much this potion can strengthen my body."

"According to the information I have, the physical strength of a body modified by the bloodline of ancient creatures is completely incomparable to that of a body modified by the bloodline of modern magical creatures."

"This is why the archaeologists' fighting spirit has become extraordinary!"

This advanced bloodline-modifying agent cannot be taken orally; it must be administered intravenously via syringe to achieve a profound transformation of one's body.

As soon as Locke injected the potion, he seemed to hear a roar like the crashing waves, each sound louder than the last, as if the ancient forest king, the three-eyed tiger-cat, had been reborn before his eyes.

The muscles all over his body bulged up one by one, then shrank back down, then bulged up again, repeating this process continuously. His magical pressure and mana also began to rise during this process!
The increase was quite significant!
