Chapter 23
Zhang Leiyu's claim that he could verify the results galvanized the staff. The soldiers involved in this experiment were highly credible, and some who believed they had succeeded might have been delusional due to excessive focus. However, none of the previous participants had offered a method for verification.
"I can move the paper slightly," Zhang Leiyu said, and then he entered that state again. Now his extra organ made him feel much stronger.
The staff quickly made a phone call, and soon a lab was set up. A tissue was sealed in glass. Zhang Leiyu looked at the tissue and summoned his spiritual power.
"You can start now," the staff member said. A number of people stood around him, including scientists and Director Luo.
Zhang Leiyu nodded and looked at the paper in the glass cabinet. As he manipulated it, the paper began to move.
Although it was a slight movement, everyone saw it clearly. Zhang Leiyu even heard cheers.
"This is a breakthrough!" Director Luo said with a beaming face.
Zhang Leiyu immediately received the highest level of treatment. First, a blood draw, then a sharing of experiences, and various tests to try to determine how the invisible arm he mentioned, or rather, how his mental power operated, worked.
Li Hao only learned about this breakthrough when he left Michelle's office.
"So we can recreate the potion in our world." Li Hao asked.
"But there is still a problem. We don't seem to have any magical elements here. The experimenter successfully sensed the mental power, but he didn't feel the presence of magical elements in the air as you said." The person in the live broadcast room added.
"Victoria mentioned earlier that the third step, infusing magic, is to use magic stones," Li Hao said after a moment's thought. "There are many alternatives to magic stones. Magic crystals have the same effect as magic stones."
After all, Li Hao had taken ten days of basic courses, so he still understood the basic knowledge of mages.
There are two types of magic stone. One is the most common magic stone, usually produced in magic stone mines. The other is called black crystal stone. Unlike magic stone, magic crystal stone is produced by monsters. Of the two, black crystal stone is naturally more effective.
But now it’s a pity that Li Hao can’t bring living things back to his own world.
"Can it be cloned?" At this time, someone came up with an idea. If there is no way to bring back living things through time travel, but if you can bring back a complete monster corpse, can you clone it in their world?
"But the risk is a bit high. After all, they are creatures from another world and may cause great harm," said another biologist.
The idea of biological invasion is already a mature concept in modern society. Even movies often use alien invasions as a gimmick, and many doomsday movies have been filmed as a gimmick.
"Let's put this problem aside for now. Let's see if there are other ways to solve it?" Li Hao stopped thinking about the base.
She traveled through time to make the country prosperous, not to cause the end of the world. Without safety guarantees, it's best not to bring living creatures into modern society.
Li Hao nodded. Her life in the Mage Tower was relatively safe and affluent now. The base even did something that made Li Hao feel more at ease in the other world.
They rebroadcast Li Hao's live broadcast, then manipulated the background to disguise it as modern society. They video chatted with Li Hao's parents, relaying the conversation through headphones to conceal their identity.
Then they asked Li Hao about the status of each meditation.
"My meditation goes smoothly. Basically, I can get into the state in just a short while. It's different from the feeling of emptiness you mentioned. I can feel my own existence. I won't get lost, and it doesn't seem that difficult to draw pictures with mental power." Li Hao expressed his feelings.
This description was completely different from Zhang Leiyu's. But the final feeling was the same: it was like having an extra organ, like having an extra pair of hands, a pair of invisible and shapeless hands.
Li Hao now feels that his hands are very strong.
Her panel now reads [Spirit 94]. After a few more days of meditation, she can try to train her spell model.
In the end, the base decided to proceed according to the previous plan and put the research of Dragon Flame Potion at the forefront of the plan.
It had been a month since he came to this world, and almost twenty days since he entered the Mage Tower. With Victoria's help, Li Hao had already begun the second step: fusion.
"In this fusion step, you must pay attention to the amount of various medicines." Victoria gave Li Hao an experiment.
Li Hao drank a bottle of basic healing potion Victoria had given him. It wasn't as effective as the Dragon Flame Potion, but it still miraculously stopped bleeding and healed wounds instantly. It was roughly a five-fold diluted Dragon Rock Potion.
This basic healing potion only requires five herbs. The original goal was to replicate this basic healing potion in modern times at the Longyan Pharmacy base.
Li Hao asked Victoria about the growing environment of the five herbs and received a detailed explanation.
"...These herbs are all in the teacher's medicine garden. You can carefully observe their growing environment. Every qualified potion master is also a qualified herbalist." Victoria patiently explained to Li Hao's question.
Li Hao followed up by asking Victoria how to grow these herbs herself.
Victoria was very patient with Li Hao, and explained to her step by step how to plant the plants. However, this involved quite a few magic props.
Compared with temperature and humidity regulation by technological means, the potions here also have certain requirements for the temperature, humidity and soil of the area where they are planted. Fortunately, these means can be compensated by technology.
Following Victoria's method, Li Hao successfully blended the potion of basic healing potion.
Looking at the light red potion, Victoria nodded, thinking that Li Hao was indeed a student favored by the teacher.
"Can I practice the magic infusion now? I feel like I have learned the first two steps." Li Hao looked at the success of the potion and continued to pursue the victory and asked.
"Don't be too anxious. Your mental strength must at least be up to standard. The step of potion infusion requires a very high level of mental refinement." Victoria said as she gently rubbed Li Hao's face.
"What kind of mental power is qualified?" Li Hao asked, because this is also related to the mental power operation of the people in the base.
Victoria thought for a moment and took out a piece of paper from the side, then motioned Li Hao to look at her. Suddenly, the paper started to move, and soon it folded up by itself.
Finally, what appeared in front of Li Hao was a model that looked like a cute little animal.
"If you can successfully use your mental power to create such a model within 20 counts, then you can start infusing the magic." Looking at the small animal model in front of her, Victoria only used less than 10 counts to complete the complicated steps.
Victoria even took out another piece of paper and taught Li Hao how to fold it with her hands.
Folding with hands is not as fast as folding with mental power.
"Only when your mental power is more flexible than your hands can you use the potion to infuse magic." Victoria concluded.
Everyone in the base had an intuitive feeling of the mental power operation of a qualified mage.
Especially Zhang Leiyu, who already has the authority. He can now watch the live broadcast because he is the only one in the base who masters mental power. There are many things in Li Hao's live broadcast that will be helpful to him.
Now Zhang Leiyu can only move the paper gently.
Li Hao looked at the paper in front of her and tried to fold it using her mental power, but it felt like she was crushing the paper with her fists.
After much stumbling, the paper was reduced to an indistinguishable mass. It seemed that learning how to make healing potions would require some further training.
The base couldn't help Li Hao at this stage. The direction of mental power was like a field they had never studied before.
Unable to continue making potions, Li Hao worked hard to practice her mental power. Her mental power should be enough, but her control over it was definitely not up to standard.
Since the base couldn't provide any help, Li Hao had to rely on herself. She would start from the very beginning, folding the paper into a perfect square, and then practice little by little.
She even thought of using her personal belongings to practice. Even when she was rushing through the Mage Tower, she didn't forget to practice, folding the paper in her pocket in half.
Perhaps Li Hao truly possessed a strong talent, or perhaps she had once again entered that state, which she called the "thin blood state." She could clearly sense the movements of her own mental power, every slight change unfolding before her in a subtle slow motion. In this special state, Li Hao's control over her mental power had advanced by leaps and bounds.
It only took her three days to fold the paper model Victoria gave her.
When Victoria saw that Li Hao had perfectly folded the model using his mental power, her eyes widened.
But Li Hao quickly opened the paper again because she had not reached the required time. She had just spent more than 30 breaths.
"Oh my God, Li Hao, you are such a genius. You have made such great progress in just a few days?" Victoria exclaimed to Li Hao while holding her face, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
To be honest, Li Hao's talent for potions can only be described as a good memory. In fact, many potion masters can achieve this talent through practice.
But Victoria was really surprised by Li Hao's talent for controlling his mental power, which was a talent that all potion masters dreamed of.
This cannot be considered to be related to the mage's talent, which is difficult to test.
"Am I that powerful?" Li Hao didn't realize how rare this technique of controlling mental power was.
This is a level that can only be achieved by apprentices who have been enrolled for one year. Even if one practices, it is impossible to reach such a level in just two or three days.
