Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Main materials: a pair of wings of the Rainbow Illusionary Cicada, and a complete hide of the Whispering Growler.

Additional materials: 150ml purified water, 12g water-based gemstone powder, 5 drops of psychedelic herb essential oil, 13ml of sap from the Mist Treant.

Kudlow wrote down the painter's potion recipe and gave it to Marcus, who was like a bear, and then it seemed like that was the end of his business.

Fortunately, Melanie and the others seemed to have anticipated this, having prepared a large crucible and even the auxiliary materials. Melanie then took over the preparation work.

Kurt watched as Melanie added the prepared pure water to the crucible, and then weighed out 12 grams of blue gemstone powder and added it to the crucible.

The gemstone powder did not dissolve in water, but quickly sank to the bottom and accumulated at the bottom of the pure water. Then Melanie took out a brown opaque glass bottle, took 13ml of the black and red sap of the Mist Treant that shimmered with an unusual light, and slowly poured it into the crucible.

The gemstone powder in the crucible immediately began to dissolve. After about 30 seconds, the originally transparent solution had turned into a dark red solution with a blackish mist...

After opening the tin box that Kurt had brought, she carefully took out the thin pair of cicada wings inside, held one end, and then slowly put the other end into the solution. The cicada wings began to slowly dissolve and finally disappeared completely.

The dark red solution suddenly turned eerily pale pink, emitting wisps of steam. The space above became strangely distorted, and the light became chaotic. As the last large piece of skin slowly dissolved into it, the pale pink color disappeared, and the solution turned deep purple...

The steam disappeared, and the entire "pool" of potions fell into a deathly silence... Kurt watched as Melanie collected the potions into a glass, and unconsciously swallowed.

The process of making this potion is so...strange, and the light pink stage looks more like the finished product.

The arrow was on the bowstring, and there was no turning back. Kurt didn't hesitate for long. He glanced at Melanie and Marcus, who were already on guard, took a deep breath, and drank the potion in one gulp.

Uh, an indescribable rusty smell entered his taste buds, and before he could analyze it, it turned into a steaming heat with a meaty aroma...

Kurt didn't forget to meditate. Feeling the potion enter his body, he quickly constructed countless "perfectly smooth circles" in his mind to stabilize his mind.

But he soon realized something was wrong. His spirituality was extremely stable, even his emotions—eerily calm! The emotions vanished rapidly, but his senses became exceptionally sensitive, able to clearly distinguish the properties and types of everything around him. In his senses, everything seemed to be colored and categorized…

"The 'colors' on the teacher's side are very different from the inorganic world around them, blood red and emerald green... But what does that have to do with me?"

"Hmm, my spirit hasn't gone out of control, and I haven't heard any strange babbling..."

Kurt felt good about himself, but in Melanie's eyes, Kurt had slowly opened his eyes, looking indifferently at everything around him, as if he could see through everything, but there was clearly no emotion or spirit in his eyes.

He simply gazed at everything indifferently, his spirituality returning to calm... Something's wrong with Kurt!

Marcus immediately realized what was happening, quickly walked over to Kurt, patted Kurt on the shoulder, and said:

"Kurt, you're losing your composure. Stop meditating and try reciting the name of the Mother Goddess!"

He tried to calm Kurt down by patting him and distracting him. As for why he used the name of the Mother Goddess, he simply assumed that Kurt's faith must be very devout.

Melanie reacted quickly, taking out a bottle of medicine, opening the cap, and immediately filling the room with a pungent, unpleasant smell that would make one exceptionally alert.

Kurt felt the pungent smell and the pounding, and the replay of his daily life in his mind helped him regain his composure...

Kurt's first reaction was bewilderment, followed by lingering fear and relief.

"What the heck...?" Kurt felt his thoughts gradually returning and, remembering Marcus's words, decided to follow them to fit his "persona":

"You are the symbol of life, the direction in which all life grows, the merciful mother..."

Marcus and Melanie were relieved to see Kurt recover and begin chanting the name of the Mother Goddess, and they dismissed the possibility that Kurt had lost control.

Kurt thought this prayer would be the same as before—either nothing would happen or he'd receive a blessing. But to his surprise, the Mother Goddess answered this time!

"Don't be afraid, keep getting promoted."

After feeling a warm current, he discovered the above information appearing in his mind... So this is the oracle.

I was indeed a little scared just now, but even without Marcus and the others' reminders, I would have been "awakened" by the richness of human nature in my later memories. However, my subsequent promotion might not be so clear...

Kurt didn't sense the emergence of "divinity." At first, he still harbored illusions that Sequence Seven possessed divinity... After all, Kurt's state just now really resembled a state of loss of humanity...

Continue to be promoted. Alas, just as I analyzed, stopping promotions will lead to terrible consequences. Kurt slowly calmed himself down and ended his prayer posture.

He looked up at Melanie and Marcus, giving them a grateful smile.

"Thank you all, I almost lost myself just now."

Melanie and Marcus exchanged a glance and nodded solemnly. Marcus smiled and said:

"I wonder, junior brother, what new ability have you acquired?"

"Well, the church should keep it a secret..." Kurt thought to himself as he began to describe and demonstrate the abilities he had acquired for the church to record.

It's worth mentioning that Kurt's control over both uniqueness and source matter has improved significantly, and his extraordinary ability has been enhanced by "Infinite Collapse"!

So he was just showing the standard version.

Enhance physical fitness and combat skills, and further improve inspiration and spirituality.
