Chapter 1047: Chapter 485: Clone Technique

"I suspect that the potion master who created this magic potion might very well have been a fool himself," Vivian sighed. "Only a fool truly understands the emotions of another fool. Of course, this potion master must also have had a deep understanding of black magic."

"Indeed..." Mu You agreed upon hearing this. Emotions are, after all, ephemeral and intangible; incorporating them into potions is akin to defying the natural order. Without having experienced the feeling of being a fool, how could one possibly concoct such a fanciful recipe?"

From this perspective, the skills of this potion master may not necessarily surpass those of Vivian, but in this particular recipe, he had the advantage of being a fool. If Vivian were a fool, Mu You believed she would certainly be able to develop a potion to counteract the black magic curse much faster.

Returning to the matter at hand, since Gege Wu came from the previous era, her teacher might also be someone who survived from that era, perhaps a solitary fool from the previous era?

As for the information about the ’Lord of Calamity’, that’s as far as the analysis could go. Mu You quickly withdrew his thoughts and began the official process of refining medicine.

He had gathered over twenty portions of bitter pollen in the forest earlier, which was just enough. As for blood, it was not lacking since the blood of all fools could be used in potions; one could simply go out and buy a few bags of plasma to serve as ingredients.

Mu You’s success rate in refining potions was frighteningly high; he manufactured twenty-four batches in total, with twenty-one perfectly concocted potions, even yielding eighteen of rare quality.

These eighteen bottles of rare potion were divided into three batches and placed into the synthesis furnace. In the end, he obtained two bottles of legend-tier and one of epic-tier potions.

This series of tasks took exactly one day and one night.

Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, Mu You and Fuya once again arrived in Bitter Forest.

[You and Fuya appear at the door of Gege Wu’s house.]

[You see an aged figure, with a bundle on his back, facing away from you, standing at the door struggling to lock it, but unable to align the keyhole due to poor vision.]

[As you approach, Gege Wu quickly senses your presence, turns around warily and asks what you two are doing here again.]

["We upheld our end of the deal from yesterday. Now, it’s your turn to fulfill your promise," you and Fuya each take out the prepared legend-tier potion and show it to Gege Wu.]

["What? Don’t be ridiculous..." Gege Wu starts laughing dismissively, clearly not believing your words.]

[It is not until she steps closer and her gaze sweeps over the potions in your hands that her laughter abruptly stops.]

[Gege Wu rushes to your side in a single stride, snatches the potion from your hand, and stares at it intensely, growing more shocked by the moment: "It really is a Sweet Potion, truly of legend-tier, but... this is impossible! Just one day, how could you possibly..." Gege Wu’s eyes bulge, and she mutters to herself in disbelief.]

Fuya sighed as she looked at the text prompt; she could totally understand Gege Wu’s feelings, as she had reacted similarly when Mu You handed her a legend-tier potion the night before.

After all, this was something the other had not achieved despite sacrificing youth and social life to dwell deep in the mountains for four thousand years. Now, someone else had accomplished it in just one day, which would likely cause anyone to breakdown.

However, Fuya knew more than Gege Wu because she had witnessed the process by which the legend-tier potion was created. Thus, she did not lose her composure like Gege Wu.

[After repeatedly confirming that what you brought was indeed a Sweet Potion, Gege Wu suddenly looks up, her bloodshot eyes locking on you as she grabs your arm and urgently asks how you managed to do it.]

[You choose...]

[Tell the truth] or [Conceal the truth].]

Given the options, Mu You naturally chose to conceal the truth.

[You decide not to divulge the secret of the synthesis furnace to Gege Wu, but instead, you urge her to quickly keep her promise and open the gate to the Bitter Garden.]

["You must tell me how you did it before I can open the gate!" Gege Wu blurted out.]

Mu You was speechless; she was clearly playing dumb.

At this moment, Mu You knew he couldn’t show weakness, otherwise he would be at her mercy.

[You firmly glare back at Gege Wu, questioning whether she intends to go against her teacher’s will.]

[Gege Wu’s face turns red with your question, and she opens her mouth several times but cannot refute.]

[After struggling for several seconds, Gege Wu finally sighs, lowers her head toward you, and says, "I’m sorry, I will open the gate for you, but please, tell me the method to create a legend-tier potion, it’s very important to me..."]

"Maybe... just tell her?" Fuya, feeling somewhat compassionate, looked at Mu You and queried.

The other had lingered here for four thousand years for that single potion, and now had to humbly beg in her old age, which made Fuya’s heart bleed.
