Chapter 1046: Chapter 484 True Love’s Blood_3

Bitter pollen wasn’t difficult to find; it was exactly the kind of trophy they had obtained in the Bitter Forest, which is probably why Gege Wu chose to stay in the Bitter Forest for so long, as this substance is only produced there.

The focus, however, was on the second ingredient, True Love’s Blood.

’True Love’s Blood’ refers to human blood, but it must come from someone who is in love, whether it’s mutual or unrequited love, painful love, or secret love. In short, it must be blood drawn with a heart full of love to qualify as ’True Love’s Blood’.

"Blood is actually not the key point, the core is the emotion. The love emotion, which is extremely special, can neutralize the bitterness in the bitter pollen, thus making the final potion taste sweet," Vivian analyzed, but couldn’t help exclaiming with admiration, "Using human ’emotion’ as an ingredient for a potion is truly a genius idea! Magic Potions Study indeed has no end, if possible, I’d really like to meet the Magic Potion Master who created this formula..."

Mu You looked at the wistful Vivian with some surprise.

Since he had known Vivian, she had never spoken of any self-serving demands; this was the first time Mu You had heard Vivian express such a clear desire.

Mu You quietly took note of this, without making any fuss about it.

Coming back to his senses, Mu You looked at the potion formula in front of him and started to feel a headache. They might have figured out the ingredients for the potion, but where was he supposed to find True Love’s Blood?

It wasn’t as simple as just finding anyone who had been in love; it had to be ’true love’, and the person had to be in a state of ’full-hearted love’ when the blood was drawn to meet the criteria...

It’s no wonder Gege Wu didn’t have to worry about this, anyone could tell that she was lovesick; being in love with someone for four thousand years without changing her heart clearly qualified as true love, so her blood always met the requirements.

After much thought, Mu You couldn’t figure out where to find someone who met the criteria, so he just drew a tube of his own blood, intending to familiarize himself with the medicine refining process one way or another.

As usual, Mu You handed the pocket watch to Vivian, activated the Fool’s Boundary, and began trying to refine medicine.

Mu You thought that he would surely fail dozens, if not hundreds of times on his first attempt at refining, but to his amazement, he succeeded on the very first try!

Looking at the crucible in front of him, filled with potion emitting a faint blue glow, Mu You was stunned for a while.

Could it be... this simple?

And what surprised him even more was that not only did he succeed in the first attempt, but he also produced a rare-level potion right away!!

"Ah..."

Fuya, on the other side, had her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

A fourth-tier Magic Potion! To figure out the components in only half an hour was one thing, but to successfully mould it on the first attempt, and to start off at a rare level... Fuya couldn’t even describe what she was feeling anymore; the scene before her had completely overturned her understanding of the Magic Potion world.

Mu You had no time to notice Fuya’s astonishment, as he was still frowning at the potion before him.

Is this really a fourth-tier Magic Potion?

Mu You had his doubts. Fourth tier referred to the level of an Evolution Elixir, and he had personally experienced the difficulty of refining it countless times.

However, the entire refining process just now was too easy and smooth; Mu You was certain that the potion was far from fourth tier, at most it was second tier!

"The problem must still be with the blood." Vivian, who had taken in everything, suddenly spoke up in a tone of realization, "I think I understand the principle of this potion now."

"How?" Mu You quickly asked.

"Don’t forget, you’re a Fool. You Fools are naturally immune to deep black magic curses. The biggest difference between a Fool and the typical people of the Star Spirit World is probably your rich emotions."

Vivian pondered, "The real necessity for this potion isn’t actually ’True Love’s Blood’, but ’Fool’s Blood’, using the Fool’s blood to suppress the black magic curse. The reason it requires ’True Love’s Blood’ is probably because that emotion, ’true love’, might be the only thing that allows the average person of the Star Spirit World to come as close as possible to a Fool, essentially emulating the effect of Fool’s blood."

"But no matter how much you emulate it, True Love’s Blood is still a substitute and can’t replace the real Fool’s Blood."

Vivian looked at Mu You, "The reason you succeeded so easily just now is precisely because your blood fits the essence of this potion’s core principle perfectly, it’s like you’ve found a shortcut, and naturally the difficulty is greatly reduced."

"So that’s how it is..." Mu You was embarrassed.

It turned out that his own blood was the most suitable ingredient. If he had gone looking for True Love’s Blood just now, he would have gone far out of his way.
