Inside the Alchemy Room.
The Wizard Array faintly appeared, and the Runes flickered.
Amidst the intertwining of strange rays of light, the mysterious Wizardry Energy condensed into a manifested ribbon-like form in the air, resembling a gentle stream.
After a moment, it was injected into the body.
The pale body of the young boy seemed to gain a bit more color, and his eyes opened.
What he now possessed was a completely brainless body without any subjective consciousness.
However, the vegetative nervous system, which controls breathing, heartbeat, and the basic circulation of Wizardry Energy, had already been established.
Therefore, even without the input from the chamber's pipelines, a breath of life still emerged.
"Life feedback normal, energy circulation normal, vegetative nervous system response normal..."
Roy's eyes shimmered with a faint red glow as his spiritual will connected to the Wizard Array, meticulously inspecting the condition of the experimental subject.
The results finally satisfied him, as he had crossed that threshold.
"Next, proceed with the neural interface test..."
His Spirit Manifestation twisted into thin, thread-like filaments, which connected to the boy's body.
Under the precise control of his will, these filaments entered the empty cranial cavity, connecting to the spine and nerves.
Moments later, the boy's body moved as if it were an Automata being manipulated by strings.
"Excellent!"
Roy's eyes lit up.
With this test also passed, it could essentially be declared that only the final step remained before success!
This seemed to share a similar essence with the control of a Humanoid Angel.
...
"Has it succeeded?"
Not long after, Celine, with a sickly complexion, arrived outside the Alchemy Room, concerned about the progress of the experiment.
Roy informed her, "It's almost complete. All that's left is to remove my own brain, place it inside, and then perform the neural connection!"
Celine said, "This step is crucial. Before that, we need to prepare a Life Magical Potion that can temporarily sustain vitality...
Or, immerse yourself entirely in a nutrient solution to maintain brain function."
She then proceeded to share numerous details she knew.
"Life Magical Potion..."
"Nutrient chamber..."
Roy had actually read related materials and was aware of these two general approaches.
"It doesn't have to be that complicated.
The brain leaving the cranial cavity is like a pilot leaving the cockpit of a machine.
The world outside this machine is not suitable for the brain's survival, and the lack of nutrients would pose a fatal threat, causing it to suffocate.
However, the brain's blood supply mainly comes from the internal carotid artery and the vertebrobasilar artery, whose branches form a dense vascular network.
There is no main pipeline here; instead, it is achieved through a complex vascular network.
After the Blood Mercury Warlock Body is enhanced, the conductive mechanism and energy supply method here have been completely altered...
I am confident that I can rebuild this energy pipeline in a more expedient manner!"
"As long as you have a clear plan in mind."
Celine did not object, merely stating.
"Once this step is completed, you can immediately regain mobility.
However, during this process, there may be some mental disorientation or severe pain, among other abnormalities.
Those are signals from the nerves."
Roy nodded, not surprised by this.
Such direct influences from the nerves cannot be suppressed by willpower alone.
Fortunately, recovery is quick and doesn't require months or years of effort.
After a few days of rest, he would be fine.
If the corresponding potion was prepared in advance, it could even be eliminated immediately.
Of course, this would inevitably involve bothering the divine alchemy tools again.
Among the formulas they recorded, there should be methods for concocting these common magical potions.
...
After the conversation, Roy continued to refer to the books, listing out one by one the possible issues that might arise and proposing solutions.
Among these, he prepared what could be done immediately.
Striving to ensure everything was foolproof.
Finally, there was only one question left.
"Can the powers I previously obtained through magical potions, such as the Source of Magic, the Hair Demon Physique, and the effects of Narcissus Love, be retained?"
The answer was affirmative.
These things followed the soul consciousness and were unrelated to the physical body.
"From the moment the magical potion is consumed, the wavelength and form of the energy particles have already undergone a complete change.
Including knowledge, memories...
None of these will change because of this transplant surgery, unless the surgery fails.
However, the strength of a Grand Knight cannot be retained.
The Neanderthal Bloodline power once obtained will also remain in the original body.
The Blood Mercury Warlock Body follows the same principle.
It needs to be re-injected into the new body...
But this is not a hindrance.
I am already prepared to immediately infuse it with Blood Mercury and reforge it.
The Life Energy Crystal can also be transplanted at any time...
The key lies in the Behemoth Bloodline it possesses!"
Roy had been researching this for a while and roughly understood that bloodline cultivation and injection through potions were slightly different.
To be precise, the artificially cultivated body would have stronger innate talents and better bloodline fusion!
But the technical difficulty was also higher.
The previous failure was due to this hurdle.
In addition, there was another important reason that could not be ignored...
"For some reason, the bloodline from that Orc warrior leader seemed to be mixed with something else.
It doesn't quite match the bloodline factor information in the data...
We need to figure out where the inconsistency lies to completely crack it."
Roy recalled this and fell silent.
At that time, his "Bloodline Transmutation" would also gain the Behemoth Bloodline as an enhancement path.
If in the future he deeply combined "Bloodline Art" with "Genesis Studies," he might even be able to cultivate a clone of an Orc!
...
Two more days passed, and it was now January 8th.
In the Alchemy Room of the Tata Mountains quarry.
Roy once again began concocting the Behemoth Bloodline Potion.
The Bloodline Potion...
Synthesize!
"..."
As the light of the "Transmutation Circle" flashed, he once again held a bottle of Behemoth Bloodline Potion in the form of an advanced knight.
Using the [Eye of Hermes] to inspect it, he confirmed its efficacy, and soon some inexplicable information surfaced in his mind.
This was the basic knowledge brought by the Black Iron Grade talent [Inspiration].
"Another part of the information related to 'Bloodline Art,' and it seems to be related to the potion I'm currently concocting, the Behemoth Bloodline Potion..."
Roy quietly perused it.
Suddenly, he had a flash of insight and realized a certain possibility.
"Could it be that the reason I've been failing to concoct the first-level potion isn't because the Bloodline of the Behemoth Warrior in my possession is impure, but rather because it's too pure, making it incompatible with the Bloodline Factor information?
That Orc leader is no ordinary figure!
Perhaps I should incorporate the imprint within his soul into the concoction process!"
