Chapter 3: The possibilities to replicate potions system
After returning home, Adam sat on the sofa in contemplation. The issue of martial spirits was put aside for now; he was more concerned about how he became a Beyonder.
"The only possible explanation is either this body receives a boon or he already has a Beyonder characteristic in his body. But this is ridiculous. This place is not the Lord of Mysteries, but Douluo World, where martial spirits are supreme."
Forgetting about boons, Adam didn't think anyone from the high sequence of Visionary would give him one. From his memory, there were no churches or cathedrals in this world.
So, he could rule out the possibility of a high sequence Beyonder in this world right now.
It wasn't without reason, but if there was, then the trajectory of this world wouldn't be as simple as the Sun Moon Federation uniting as one. At least, as far as he knew, there hadn't been any strange changes to this world.
So, this remains a mystery. Perhaps he had already become a Spectator the moment he came to this world. Or maybe he's wrong, and there's some entity like Tianzun who uses him as a pawn for its resurrection.
"Speaking of that, the Audience, Spectator, and Visionary pathways should represent Mind, Fantasy, and Envisioning. This pathway is actually really good, considering that in the later stages, Visionaries are truly terrifying to face."
Although the Audience doesn't possess the power of the low sequence, and the mid sequence isn't much different, this pathway has the easiest ritual to perform on the Douluo Continent.
Can you imagine, the advancement ritual to Sequence 4 of this sequence can be easily performed. Even the advancement of Sequence 0 isn't too complicated and arguably doesn't involve any specific entity.
Furthermore, given Grisha Adam's performance in the original novel, and how Quill of Alzuhod managed to kill Klein at the hands of third-rate writer Ince Zangwill, you know this pathway is too unrealistic.
Furthermore, the acting method required is truly simple. You know, Audrey Hall only needed three years to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3 Dream Weaver.
If it weren't for this path being controlled by Grisha Adam, Audrey might have been able to advance to Sequence 2 Discerner.
"If I'm not mistaken, this path is also called the path of the dragon, right? This also fits perfectly with the theme of Legend of the Dragon King."
Now, isn't it interesting? Dragon vs. dragon.
Golden & Silver dragon king vs. Mind dragon.
"But I have to be careful first. I'm not like Grisha Adam, who possesses the Chaos Sea. No, I'm not even sure if the Chaos Sea exists in this world. Plus, I still have to figure out how to get promoted to Sequence 8, telepathist."
Facing Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena might be interesting, but she really had bigger things to worry about.
"Maybe I could try replicating the potions system in LOTM? I should still remember the names of the ingredients required for potions from the Visionary pathways."
This thing felt worth a try. It's kind of worth a try, and probably the only way to go.
No, I have to try it. If the potions method doesn't work, I have to try the boons method and try a ritual to gain the power of the next sequence. I really don't have many options.
If it works, then he won't be stuck at Sequence 9 for his entire life. But if the potions method doesn't work, he must try to advance through the ritual and try to gain boons. There must be a source of the beyonder characteristic in his body.
There's no way something like this could just appear out of thin air. Not only is that illogical, but it's also unreasonable.
"Let's see, if I'm not mistaken, the main ingredients for a Sequence 8 telephatist are a Rainbow Salamander or Phantom Netherdrake's complete pituitary gland and 10 milliliters of a Farsman Rabbit or Half Specter Rabbit's spinal fluid."
Adam wrote down the recipe for Sequence 8 in Hermes. Somehow, after he came to this world, languages like Hermes, Giant, Elf, Spirit, and even Loenese popped into his head, as if he already knew them all.
He wasn't entirely sure if these ingredients existed in this world, but he still tried to find them. As for the auxiliary ingredients, he would try to check if they existed in this world.
But if they didn't, that was fine.
"The most important thing is that the main ingredient must be present. The auxiliary ingredients will only help someone reduce the risk of losing control from drinking this potion, but they aren't essential ingredients."
Adam's hands stopped after writing the sequence of eight ingredients. He continued writing until he reached the required ingredients for Sequence 3 Dream Weaver. Everything was written in hermetic words.
He smiled and immediately burned the paper after confirming his memory was correct. Thank God, I read the wiki in the past.
Cuttlefish continued to update LOTM even after the series ended, providing additional explanations about the power of various pathways.
"It never hurts to be cautious." Adam sighed softly as he looked at the paper that had burned to ashes.
He looked at his house, which was a little unkempt after his real body nearly went insane from the grief he experienced.
After two hours of cleaning, Adam smiled at the cleaner house.
He left the house after everything was done.
"I need to confirm which timeline I'm in. Has Tang Wulin completed his studies at Hongshan Academy, or has he still not entered Hongshan Academy?"
This was important as it determined how he should proceed. If Tang Wulin were the same age as him, then approaching him and befriending him early on wouldn't be a bad decision. But if it were Tang Wulin's later stage, then it would be better to stay away from him and get as far away from that troublesome person as possible.
Adam recalled the path to Hongshan Academy in his mind.
Sequence 9 Spectator, brought an enchantment to his mental attributes. His memory was getting better, but not to the point where he could clearly remember everything like a Savant Pathway.
His body, heart, and mind had been enchanted. His analytical, inferential, observational, and identification skills had improved.
He also acquired a wealth of information about body language, as if he had studied it for years. Every detail of tone, sentence structure, attitude, and even unconscious movements could be clearly captured and understood. From this, Adam could guess what someone was thinking.
Furthermore, his eyesight had improved and was much better than before. Even details he couldn't see before could be clearly captured.
Even though this was his first time in this world, Adam could remember it as clearly as if he had lived there for over six years.
Soon, he saw a pretty boy looking excited in the distance with his father.
His features were clearly defined, and he looked very different from the other children who had come to Hongshan Academy, eagerly awaiting the Awakening ceremony that would be held tomorrow.
A child who looked like a girl, with his skin so smooth, his black hair so smooth that it even outshone a woman who had cared for her hair for years.
"So, there he is. The son of Tang San and Xiao Wu. A quarter human, quarter blue silver grass, and a quarter soft bone rabbit. I'm quite surprised Tang Wulin doesn't have divine blood in his body."
Adam grumbled from behind a tree in the distance. This mixed human with barely any human blood in his body was the protagonist of this era.
There's no doubt about it.
"So he's still a child, huh. I can work with that."
Adam smiled, turned around, and returned to his home.
A child with status like Tang Wulin is truly a priceless treasure. So, we'll be friends for a long time, Tang Wulin.
