Yang De continued, "The reason we’ve found no fluids associated with higher-level Talents might be because the powers of advanced Talents are difficult to extract. However, up to now, we haven’t discovered any devices within the relics that the human civilization might have used to create such fluids."

People’s cognition is often limited to their worldviews.

Modern humans take it for granted that the Earth is a sphere, while to the ancients a few hundred years ago, it was self-evident that the Earth was flat.

Some things, seen as commonplace to those who have not crossed a certain threshold, might be unimaginable no matter what.

This is the case with the Talent Sequences Secret Medicine. To He Ao, it was naturally known in the Copy World that one could advance by consuming secret medicine corresponding to the higher-level sequences, which were concocted from different Transcendent materials.

This is common sense.

But for the Transcendents of the main world, who have never had related knowledge, the idea of drinking potions blended from various Transcendent materials in certain proportions to gain stronger powers seems like some kind of miraculous cure-all upgrade method.

Moreover, the display of super-advanced technological civilization within the relics has easily distracted the researchers of the main world, making them presume that the secret medicine might be related to technological power, thus hindering their discovery of the truth.

Ultimately, it boils down to the fact that Transcendent powers have not been in the main world for very long, and there are too few Transcendents, leaving not enough time for people to explore and understand.

After a moment of reflection, He Ao spoke in a calm voice,

"I actually don’t think it has to be a creation of science.

When I was a child and fell ill, my grandfather would often mix herbal medicine for me. When he mixed strong herbs with those of opposite or neutral properties, they became absorbable medicinal concoctions for the human body.

Just now, I was considering the possibility that the same could apply to Transcendent powers. If the Transcendent power one needs to absorb is too strong to assimilate, then perhaps it could be moderated using weaker or opposite-natured Transcendent materials, turning it into a Transcendent potion that can be easily absorbed by those who consume it.

I suspect the liquid you mentioned just now may have been concocted following this logic."

"Hmm," Yang De paused briefly upon hearing this, feeling that what He Ao said made sense, and nodded, "It’s not out of the question."

He Ao cast a glance at him, chose not to say more. Yang De and the Research Institute had treated him well, and he didn’t mind sharing some basic intelligence. Moreover, after the incident with the pirates, he was now the honorary deputy director of the institute’s overseas department.

Investment yields returns.

However, there are things best left to a hint, speaking excessively would seem too deliberate.

So he changed the subject, "Do we have any specific ability information about the two B-levels from Daybreak?"

"No," Yang De shook his head, "They’ve kept it well hidden. However, among the two, Daybreak’s leader must be someone who entered the ruins during either the third or fourth opening. The foundation of Daybreak roughly coincides with those two occasions."

"When were the third and the fourth openings roughly?"

He Ao asked softly.

"The third was about ten years ago, and the fourth was eight years ago,"

answered Yang De.

The person who took the central processor from the tower within the relics must also have entered the ruins about ten years ago.

The timing matches.

He Ao needed to find the central processor of the tower in order to unlock the information about what’s being held behind the locked door within the tower, which seems to attract Super Memory.

After chatting with Yang De for a little while longer and learning some more about Daybreak’s operations, He Ao yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.

Yang De watched He Ao’s retreating figure and fell into deep thought.

The more he thought about it, the more he believed that He Ao’s theory about the ’secret potion’ made sense.

After a moment of contemplation, he took out his phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly answered and a somewhat irritable man’s voice came through from the other end,

"Who the hell calls in the middle of the night? Are you out of your mind? I’m in the middle of crucial research."

Yang De glanced at the time; it was five in the morning.

Although the man’s tone was unpleasant, Yang De wasn’t angry. It seemed he’d grown accustomed to it. "I just heard a very reasonable theory. Want to hear it?"

Then he relayed He Ao’s words.

The person on the phone reacted quickly, "Are you an idiot? Do you think superhuman materials are like herbs that can be mixed together willy-nilly? Different superhuman materials exploding when combined, could accidently create a potent pollutant. You wanna mix them? Just mix them, huh?..."

As he cursed, it seemed like he encountered someone else. He set the phone down without hanging up.

Angry cursing came from the other end, though this time it wasn’t directed at Yang De.

"Why didn’t you go back to sleep when I told you to? Am I a C-level Transcendent, or are you? I can stay up for a month and still climb snowy mountains, can you? If you die from overworking during your PhD, what will the Research Institute say about me, that I hounded a student to death? Tell me, are you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation? Get lost, or I’ll lose it and hit you... Put down the report... I still need to read it..."

Then the man picked up the phone again,

"Old Yang, it’s not that I’m trying to scold you, right, but your statement lacks common sense. Right here, I’ve got a report about a research project on the nature of superhuman items. Look, I’ll read it to you.

Pour 0.1 grams of Moon Grass powder into a 500 ml solution prepared with the powder of the Shadow Stone Statue, at a concentration of 0.1 grams per liter, and use ultrasonic vibration to dissolve, followed by capturing the dissolution process with a high-speed camera.

Within 0.1 seconds of combining, a complex with pollution properties forms, causing a strong mental shockwave.

Below this, there are photos taken by a high-speed camera; let me take a close look, huh. Two types of superhuman materials can’t possibly mix..."

At this point, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.

Then there was the sound of rapid keyboard typing, along with a murmuring voice,

"Photo collection... photo collection... I remember the high-speed camera photos are synchronized here... right here..."

Shortly after, there was the sound of a mouse clicking and the scroll wheel moving, presumably to zoom in on an image.

After a moment, the person on the other end seemed to take a long breath.

"Old Yang, you’ve got something there. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have noticed this. We’ve done this experiment before, hang on, let me look through the other photo collections..."

More keyboard typing followed.

Yang De quietly waited half an hour before the person on the other end began speaking slowly,

"Som have it, and some don’t. Most don’t have it, and even the ones that do aren’t obvious... It seems that only two specific superhuman materials can cause this reaction... And we’ll need to explore the proportions, quantities, and the right methods further... Sometimes, a simple idea can truly revolutionize everything."

"What have you found?"

Yang De asked softly.

"Right before the complex forms, there’s a sign that the two superhuman materials fuse... Anyway, you wouldn’t understand, but in short, you’re right. The idea you proposed is very likely."

"It’s not me who’s right," Yang De stared in the direction He Ao had left, "the idea doesn’t come from me. Instead, it comes from a new deputy head of the overseas department. He’s an outstanding person, always providing me with unexpected and sometimes startling surprises."

"Old Yang, if this idea is confirmed, we might change the entire landscape of the transcendent world."

There was a pause on the phone, "I definitely want to meet this deputy head of yours sometime. I’m curious, what kind of brain comes up with such ideas..."

"We’ll see about that," Yang De chuckled, "you want to meet him, but he might not be willing."

"Old Yang, you seem pretty happy."

"Seeing someone go from cursing to utterly convinced makes me very happy indeed."

"When you come back to Beidu, I’m definitely going to beat you to death."
