Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She cannot stop moving forward just because the Dark God has his eye on her. What she needs to do now is to seize every opportunity to become stronger, and the growth potion in her hand is one such opportunity.

It looked like the fire would burn for a long time. Xu Jiawei thought for a moment, then took out a potion and prepared to try to deconstruct the properties of ordinary potions, starting with the most basic ones.

Right now, she should focus on getting the growth potion sorted out. If it works, at least she'll have a better chance of surviving the Dark God's attacks and a better chance of overcoming future difficulties.

Flames were burning on the other side of the mountain, but Xu Jiawei was at peace, focusing all her attention on her crucible. To extract the medicinal properties, she had to try to break them down.

It's like layering in chemistry; maybe she could try that.

However, Xu Jiawei was a complete chemistry idiot and knew nothing about this area, so she could only use pharmacology theory to break it down.

The special property of silver star flower is that it isolates the medicinal properties of herbs. Xu Jiawei added some other herbs to enhance the medicinal properties of silver star flower. She calculated the ratio in her mind and then asked Xiao Fen to heat up the crucible.

But when she saw Little Pink's appearance, she slapped her forehead and realized she had forgotten about it. Little Pink hadn't been purified yet; it had just absorbed so much energy from the polluted magma, and now the whole flame was covered in ash.

Xu Jiawei had no choice but to stop her itching hands from refining the pet and release the Light Purification to purify Little Pink. During Xu Jiawei's purification, Red Earthworm and Rainbow also jumped out of the pet backpack, and even Little Gray peeked out, enjoying the light attribute's bath. The light attribute purification made it feel very comfortable.

Even though it is of the dark attribute, it does not reject the light attribute.

Relying on the lingering power of the light's purification, the parts of the rainbow and red earthworm that had been contaminated by darkness were washed away by the light. Two hours later, the little pink flame became bright again. It jumped around and consciously jumped under the crucible, looking quite clumsy.

Xu Jiawei smiled. Little Pink's level is now maxed out, and the excess energy has nowhere to go but to accumulate into its physical form. Changing this is simple; just level up.

However, Little Pink is currently stuck at level 70, so let's wait and see how it goes.

Xu Jiawei poured several bottles of ordinary medicine into the crucible, then heated it. Once the medicine started bubbling, Xu Jiawei immediately poured it out of the crucible, as the medicinal components were destroyed by the heat.

Heating the medicine first was not an option, so Xu Jiawei decided to heat the insulating ingredients first, fully integrate them, and then add the medicine. The crucible made a rumbling sound, and with a bang, the liquid exploded. Xu Jiawei was prepared and ran away before the crucible exploded.

Fortunately, the nameless crucible was of very good quality and was not afraid of exploding.

Xu Jiawei returned to her original spot and cleaned the stains in the crucible, but she was thinking about what had happened and where the problem was.

She still suspected that there was a problem with the formula of the isolation ingredient, and that the reaction was too intense after the medicine was poured in. She felt that the ingredients needed to be adjusted to slow down the reaction.

Thinking about it, Xu Jiawei added a few more herbs.

The reaction wasn't so intense this time. Xu Jiawei started the experiment again. The ingredients in the medicine slowly merged and formed different blocks. The components of the medicine were now distinguishable, and her experiment was a preliminary success.

Now she needs to figure out how to distinguish the drug components from the isolated components, and Xu Jiawei has started the experiment again.

After experimenting for half a day and trying every method, all of them failed. Xu Jiawei stared at the liquid and fell into deep thought. Perhaps she had fallen into a misconception. Why did she always think of adding herbs for extraction? The simplest way is the best. Why didn't she try to filter it directly using physical methods?

Having figured it out, Xu Jiawei collected some sand from the ground, along with some clothes and fabric, and made a simple filtration device.

Xu Jiawei scooped out the medicine from the different sections and placed it on the filtration equipment for filtering.

Half an hour later, the filtration was complete, and the clear medicine appeared in front of Xu Jiawei.

She smiled, then filtered the other portions of the medicine, obtaining several clear portions that appeared to contain few impurities.

Now that she had succeeded, Xu Jiawei couldn't wait to put the isolation ingredients into the crucible and add the growth potion. The whole pot of isolation ingredients only yielded such a small bottle of potion, which was quite pitiful.

Xu Jiawei focused intently on adjusting the heat, and half an hour later, she wiped the sweat from her forehead—she had succeeded! Once you know the method, it's not difficult.

Next, all that was needed was to filter it. In the end, Xu Jiawei obtained a portion of the filtered Fountain of Life, which was egg-yolk yellow and only half a bottle in size. Something felt off.

She opened the system introduction.

[The Strange Fountain of Life: Its composition has undergone subtle changes; it's unknown what side effects drinking it might have.]

Was she a success or a failure? She wasn't sure, but the timid starve while the bold thrive. Never mind, Xu Jiawei just shoved it into her mouth.

Then everything went black, and she lost consciousness. Her body emitted a soft glow before slowly fading into silence. Even without her intervention, her race automatically began to evolve, probably due to the workings of the Fountain of Life.

However, the direction of this evolution is somewhat strange.

She didn't know how many hours had passed when Xu Jiawei woke up again; it was already dark.

Worried about the aftereffects, Xu Jiawei immediately opened the panel to check, and to her surprise, her race had automatically evolved.

Note: Racial mutations have unknown effects.

The race has mutated? It directly removed the upper limit, which is amazing, but it has added a negative effect. It would be fatal for others, but for Xu Jiawei, it will just mean that her recovery speed will be slower in the future.

However, as she looked further down, the negative effects were greater than she had imagined, even impacting her future path to godhood.

But she needs to figure out why this affected her divine status, and what the relationship is between race and divine status. She can no longer even use potions to increase her chances.

Could it be that the divine essence she was about to form has mutated?
