Chapter 1285: Chapter 947, Genetic Furnace

Seeing the name of the potion, Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

A potion that had never appeared before.

In other words, this was a Level 4 corpse core potion.

Thinking of this, he instantly felt a surge of joy.

Perfect timing for its completion, just before the upcoming battle.

Even if it only enhanced certain attributes, it would still help in the subsequent fights.

"Is this a new potion?" Glenda asked, walking through the wall.

Xiao Xiao also asked, "What level corpse core potion is this? I’ve been researching it for a long time. I forgot what level it is now."

Wu Heng replied, "Level 4! Made with the Zombie King’s corpse core."

As he spoke, he held the potion up to the light to inspect it. The pale blue liquid shimmered in the glass bottle, occasionally flashing silver gleams.

It seemed to contain special energy.

Xiao Xiao muttered beside him, "Just made it to the Zombie King? We already have Level 20 corpse cores."

The Zombie King was a name given by various refuges in the modern world, representing a Level 18.

But in the prison, Level 20 corpse cores have already started appearing one after another.

So, Level 18 cores seemed relatively slow.

"Still, can’t ask for too much," Wu Heng said.

"Level 18 is already so slow!" Xiao Xiao lay on his shoulder, "By the time you research Level 20, you’ll be an old man."

Glenda said, "Like that veteran mage, with a big beard."

Bella laughed, "If Wu Heng grew a beard, it should look good."

"You’re thinking too far ahead! And underestimating a hero’s longevity," Wu Heng said, putting the potion into his space ring.

He turned his gaze to the alchemy skeleton waiting beside him, "Let’s go to the alchemy room. I need to check how many Level 4 corpse cores are left."

The alchemy skeleton led the way, and Wu Heng, along with two ghosts, followed into the alchemy room.

Entering the room, he casually turned on the light.

The whole room instantly brightened.

In the spacious room, all the skeleton alchemists were busy with their tasks.

Wu Heng walked to a nearby thermostat cabinet; there were three Level 18 corpse cores left. He remembered collecting quite a few of these cores, but they still got consumed during experiments.

It looked like he needed to kill some Level 18 zombies to continue making the potion.

He turned his attention back to the skeleton beside him, "Was there a special opportunity this time? How was a new potion made?"

The soul fire flickered in the skeleton’s hollow eye sockets, then it made a gesture of invitation.

Wu Heng followed it to the back of the room.

The skeleton stopped in front of a radiant crystal.

[Moonlight Crystal]: A naturally formed crystal, absorbs moonlight and condenses into dew crystal, with special effects.

This was an item he bought at the auction.

The dew crystal condensed by absorbing moonlight could be used as alchemy material.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "Because of this special item, the potion was made?"

The skeleton nodded.

Wu Heng and the ghosts accompanying him were a bit surprised.

Glenda said from the side, "You have pretty good luck."

"Yes, you actually bought something useful," Bella added.

At the auction, Wu Heng’s buying style was more like a nouveau riche.

If he heard something good was being introduced, he’d buy it all, in a hurry to turn money into combat power.

Glenda and Bella often didn’t agree with this consumption method.

But he indeed bought something genuinely useful, which directly accelerated the potion-making process; otherwise, who knows how long it would have dragged on.

"I admit there was some gambling, but I made the right bet," Wu Heng said, puffing his chest out.

Xiao Xiao said, "That’s a movie line, I know."

Wu Heng continued talking to the alchemy skeletons, "Keep making this potion, and also allocate more skeletons to research Level 5 corpse cores."

The alchemy skeletons nodded once again, and Wu Heng left the alchemy room with the ghosts.

...

Back in the study.

The Three Ghosts continued chatting about the potion and zombie evolution.

Wu Heng first took out the ’Empress’ Demon Soul Pot, placed it opposite his seat, then set up the tablet to play a movie.

Over the past few days, even though she still didn’t want to communicate with Wu Heng, when he set up the tablet, she’d watch the content on it.

Wu Heng walked back to his seat, and the ghost ’Empress’ flew out, giving him a glare, then started watching the movie.

"Remember to give me the detoxifying potion when I take the potion and have any changes," Wu Heng said, holding out the potion and a few bottles of detoxifying potion.

The Three Ghosts possessed their dolls, and Glenda said, "If it’s already Level 18 potion, if there’s a danger, the detoxifying potion might not help."

Xiao Xiao said, "Uncle, you forgot you’re a hero, you won’t die."

"I haven’t forgotten; I’m just worried about any issues," Wu Heng replied.

"Xiao Xiao is just afraid you’ll waste the potion," Bella said.

"I am not!"

Wu Heng opened the bottle, "Cheers first!"

With that, he raised his head and drank it down.

The cool, slightly tart liquid flowed down his throat into his chest cavity and stomach.

Then, waves of intense pain swept through his body.

Wu Heng fell from his seat to the ground, his knuckles white from gripping too hard, his whole body curled up on the ground, struggling.

Glenda’s doll knelt beside him, tightly wrapping her arms around his trembling shoulders, Bella holding the detoxifying potion, while Xiao Xiao wiped his sweat with a towel.

...

Not far away.

The ghost ’Empress’ watched this scene in a daze.

Not understanding why he drank poison, and why the side effects were so severe, causing such intense pain to a hero.

She looked again at the three ghosts standing by his side.
