After level 11, the breathing technique seemed to have reached a watershed. Its dependence on secret medicine increased further. Without secret medicine, it was difficult to cultivate the breathing technique.
Levi felt that the secret medicine would be the key to his breathing technique cultivation. After becoming a legend, the materials needed for the secret medicine needed to be updated. Many of those mortal materials needed to be eliminated and replaced with extraordinary materials with similar functions.
If one could still rely on ordinary secret medicines to cultivate before becoming a legend, then after becoming one, if one wanted to gain experience quickly, one would need corresponding extraordinary secret medicines. Moreover, simple concoction was no longer possible. The next secret potion might require Levi’s pharmaceutical knowledge to carry out the refining.
“Fortunately, I’m a pharmacist. This is my forte.”
Levi was glad that he had made the right decision to become a pharmacist. Whether it was a knight or a wizard, they could not do without the profession of a pharmacist.
Currently, in Levi’s breathing technique system, other than the Golden Snake, the only ones that needed cultivation were the Saint Ape, the Giant, and the
Ostrich Mountain. Now that he had successfully broken through the limit once, Levi planned to break through the limit of the Red Lotus Breathing Technique.
In the following days, Levi began to study the Golden Snake Potion while cultivating.
First of all, there was no doubt that it still required snake blood, dragon horn powder, and ambergris. As for the other ingredients, Levi quickly found suitable transcendent-level substitutes in the Wizard World based on his own pharmaceutical knowledge, replacing the ordinary ingredients.
After Levi’s test, the effects of the potion made from Jorman’s snake blood were much better than the blood of the first-circle sea snake he had obtained. Therefore, he guessed that if the dragon horn powder and ambergris were also extracted from the bodies of second-circle transcendent creatures, the effects of the snake potion would be even better.
For the secret medicine after the legendary realm, the main ingredient had to be at least a first-circle transcendent creature to be effective. The higher the grade, the better. Levi believed that he could rank his snake potion. If all the secret medicines were refined by first-circle transcendent creatures, it would be a level 1 secret medicine. If all the secret medicines were refined by the second-circle transcendent creatures, it would be a level 2 secret medicine.
The current situation was that among Levi’s snake potion, only the snake blood was of the second circle. The dragon horn powder and other materials were all of the first circle.
Therefore, his snake potion was only at Level 1.5 at best.
Of course, there was nothing he could do about it. Levi could not encounter a mixed-blood dragon with two rings and long horns, and even if he did, he would not be able to defeat them. Now, he could only make do with Leviathan’s dragon horns and ambergris.
Or rather, he could think of a way to let Leviathan advance to the second circle and continue to take advantage of Leviathan. However, this was also unlikely. Transcendent creatures like Leviathan did not have the concept of cultivation. Their growth limit was dead, and it was very difficult to break through. Unless they had some special fortuitous encounter, it was possible to break through the shackles of their bloodline.
Finally, after half a year of research and experiments, during the Month of Germinal in the year 1031 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, Levi had successfully developed the extraordinary version of the snake potion. After consuming the medicine, his cultivation speed would be three times faster.
