Chapter 122: Soul Pattern Potion

Deep爵 Castle.

"Woo~~"

The cold wind howled low.

The sky was also exceptionally gloomy.

In the biting cold wind, snowflakes fluttered and fell, shrouding the entire Sogar Ruins City.

Inside Deep爵 Castle.

The interior was completely opposite to the gloomy and cold environment outside.

A warm fireplace blazed with roaring flames.

Gune leaned lazily on the sofa, sipping coffee comfortably while reading the thick tome on Rune Analysis.

This Rune Analysis, Gune had now entered the latter half of his journey.

Thanks to the transformation and enhancement of his extraordinary talent last time.

Now, while studying, Gune also comprehended the profound mysteries of the World Framework Rune Principles, and his progress in cultivation was getting faster and faster.

Gune greatly enjoyed this kind of growth from comprehending the World Framework Rune Principles while learning.

Every bit of gain made him eagerly desire more.

Now, aside from concocting and researching potions and daily rest, Gune spent all his other time comprehending the World Framework Principles.

And this kind of obsessive cultivation finally began to yield results.

The simplest manifestation was that Gune could use his insights from the World Framework to make the Puppet Secret Thread and the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse more deeply concealed, making them harder for enemies to detect.

Moreover, as Gune delved deeper into research and comprehension, his abilities in the World Framework Principles would gradually strengthen.

As he pondered, Gune's gaze briefly swept over the blazing fireplace, where the leaping flames surged with heat.

It was like the surging and burning blood within Gune at that moment.

For George, the time hunter, after the hunt came a period of rich harvest.

But for Gune, this harvest was no less than George's.

After obtaining the corpse of the Death God Beast, he returned that night.

Gune began the blood fusion and absorption.

With the third-level blood pool, his powerful bloodline talent, and the suppression of the Wriggling Flesh.

Thus, Gune's efficiency in absorbing and transforming the Death God Beast's blood was very high.

In just the first night, Gune absorbed over 2000 milliliters of Death God Beast blood.

After absorbing and fusing so much Death God Beast blood, he naturally acquired the bloodline commonality of the Death God Beast.

Today was already the fourth day.

Over these few days, Gune had absorbed nearly ten thousand milliliters of Death God Beast blood in total.

Now, he had finally reached the saturation stage.

And this was precisely why Gune's blood was surging and burning at this moment.

The quality of Gune's own blood could only be considered "ordinary grade."

But after absorbing the blood of the dead Man-Faced Flower King and opening the blood pool.

Gune's blood could be regarded as "elite grade."

And now, after absorbing over ten thousand milliliters of top-tier leader Death God Beast blood, it could be considered "half-elite, half-leader."

To directly transform the blood into "leader grade," the level of the Death God Beast's powerful blood.

The next step would be "blood exchange."

The process of blood exchange, while dangerous, was indeed quite risky.

For other blood curse masters, the most feared thing was the self-revival after reverse assimilation of extraordinary blood.

Once that extraordinary blood self-revived and turned the tables, your blood would no longer be under your control.

At that point, the backlash of the extraordinary blood would lead to a miserable outcome.

In the inherited memories, the probability of this happening was not low.

For an "ordinary grade" creature to obtain the blood of a "leader grade" creature, the gains were high, but the risks were equally high.

But speaking of safety, it was also very safe—of course, only for Gune.

If the Death God Beast's blood showed a tendency to self-revive after assimilation.

Gune would toss a piece of "Wriggling Flesh" into the blood pool, and the Death God Beast's extraordinary blood would immediately behave.

Thus, for others, blood exchange was an adventurous journey.

For Gune, it would only be a journey of "steady and secure" transformation and enhancement.

"Once this burning state of the blood stabilizes and harmonizes with the body, I can almost start preparing for the blood exchange."

"After the blood exchange, my muscles, bones, scales, and even the blood pool integration will usher in a new Death God Beast version of my physical body."

Gune pondered quietly to himself.

For a blood curse master,

opening a blood pool is the starting point of one's own strength.

And blood exchange can be seen as the takeoff point for the transformation of one's own abilities.

Deep in his heart, Gunei had considerable expectations for this "blood exchange."

After all, Gunei was not a blood curse master following the ordinary path.

Rather, he was a blood curse master walking the path of rune analysis.

Thus, after mastering the power of the Death Beast's bloodline, while digesting the Death Beast's muscles, bones, and scales, Gunei would find it very exciting to study the Death Beast's innate divine ability, "Black Annihilation Arrow."

After the blood exchange, the absorption of the Death Beast's bones, flesh, and scales would gradually turn Gunei's entire body into a true "leader-level creature."

Compared to the method of using "physical secret pattern potions" to enhance the supernatural traits of the body, thereby elevating the body from an ordinary monster to "elite level" and then to "leader level,"

the blood pool exchange, starting from the method of bloodline replacement and then constructing a "leader-level" body through digesting flesh and blood, was another way of transforming supernatural traits.

However, the "blood pool exchange" of a blood curse master is full of danger.

The yet-to-be-developed "physique secret pattern potion" also remains distant and uncertain.

"Thanks to my powerful blood pool, the path for my body to become a leader is already relatively clear; I just need to advance steadily."

Gunei pondered quietly to himself.

"Once the soul secret pattern potion is successfully developed, it will rapidly elevate my soul from the foundation of supernatural traits."

"At that time, the number of spell runes I can condense will increase, the pressure on my soul from casting spells will sharply decrease, my perception will explosively enhance, and even releasing soul power to condense soul tentacles, making me a domain caster, will be relatively simple."

"These are all powerful advantages after the enhancement of soul supernatural traits."

The various advantages after the increase in soul supernatural traits made Gunei even more full of anticipation for the development of the soul secret pattern potion.

"Creak..."

Softly, the sound of the door opening brought Gunei back to reality.

Gunei glanced over lightly.

He saw Dr. Henry, tall and sturdy, wearing a top hat and a winter coat, covered in snowflakes, striding excitedly toward Gunei.

He didn't even bother to brush off the snowflakes on his clothes and hat.

Seeing this, Gunei's heart stirred slightly.

"Has another potion shown results?"

During this period, Gunei's pace in developing secret pattern potions was not slow, and with more materials available, he was not surprised to see results.

"Good afternoon, Master Gunei."

Though in a hurry, when he reached Gunei, Dr. Henry still maintained the etiquette and demeanor of a noble.

Taking off his hat to salute Gunei, Dr. Henry lightly shook off the snow accumulated on it.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Henry."

"Please, have a seat!"

Saying this, Gunei took out a small coffee cup and poured Dr. Henry some freshly brewed aromatic coffee.

Adding a bit of milk and fine white sugar, Dr. Henry stirred while looking at Gunei.

"Results?" Gunei asked softly.

"Yes," Dr. Henry said with a smile, his expression slightly excited.

"And it's a very significant result."

"Oh?"

Gunei raised an eyebrow slightly, sat up straight, leaned forward a little, and listened intently.

During this time, Dr. Henry had come to report and give feedback to Gunei several times.

Gunei knew well that Dr. Henry was a superbiological doctor with an extremely rigorous experimental attitude. Since he spoke this way, it was clear that this time indeed yielded a major result.

"The day before yesterday, after taking Potion No. 132, the experimental subject, the silver-armored mouse, entered a lethargic state."

"This lethargic state was not unusual; similar situations had occurred before."

"But this time, the lethargic state of the silver-armored mouse was different. After consuming enough of Potion No. 132, it seemed to enter a state of soul sleep. Whether it was ordinary soul sleep or deep soul sleep still requires further verification."

"But this morning, the experimental subject No. 132, which had slept for several days, suddenly woke up and urgently needed to eat a large amount of food."

"After eating, it exhibited a very lively and normal state of life."

"Through examination, we found that its soul strength had increased."

"Subsequently, we conducted in-depth testing and found that the concentration of its soul supernatural traits had increased from 0.42 to 0.66, which is a very significant improvement for it, not a minor one."

"Therefore, our detection was very accurate; the experimental subject's soul supernatural traits had indeed increased."

"So, this soul secret pattern potion... is it a success?" Gunei was slightly stunned.

This surprise came so suddenly that even Gunei himself felt a bit unreal.

Dr. Henry downed the coffee in his cup in one gulp and nodded slowly.

"Yes, Master Gunei, this soul-type secret pattern potion is likely a success."

"And you are the pioneer of a new era in secret pattern potions."
