620: Chapter 620: The Poison That Gradually Wastes One Away 620: Chapter 620: The Poison That Gradually Wastes One Away Now this was Zhao Guang’s own pet, a part of his own soul, he hastily soothed it with his mind.
Unfortunately, even though this consciousness had developed the ability to think, it hadn’t hatched yet.
The difference between hatched and unhatched was significant; he didn’t even know whether the Silver Dragon was male or female.
The next step was to properly nurture it.
As for the original pet, the Hard-Haired Pig, Zhao Guang had completely pushed it from his mind.
After all, it was just a temporary pet.
Through the contract, Zhao Guang could feel that the creature was still alive.
But there was no helping it; the distance was too great, and he couldn’t manage to bring it back.
Well, the Hard-Haired Pig wasn’t very powerful nor tasty anyway.
That guy was pretty clever and wouldn’t be in danger.
Didn’t it avoid the hands of the Undead Mage altogether?
Opening his eyes, Zhao Guang looked around curiously.
“Is the Soul Contract so unremarkable, that there is not even the slightest stir?”
Shaking his head, Zhao Guang walked out and just as he did, he saw Xi Fei looking over.
Xi Fei was also puzzled as to why her master had finished so quickly this time; she didn’t know what Zhao Guang was doing.
“Here, this is the Silver Dragon Egg, take it to the Magic Well in the Mage Tower, and nurture it well.”
Silver Dragons belong to the category of Magic Dragons, lacking in melee capabilities but proficient in spells, second only to the Fairy Dragon.
For a Silver Dragon, the best material for hatching is Magic Power, the more enormous and pure the better.
Using the Magic Well in the seventh layer of the Mage Tower to hatch it is truly unparalleled.
Xi Fei nodded, “I understand, leave it to me.”
Handling the Silver Dragon Egg with care, Xi Fei hurried towards the Mage Tower.
You could tell that the master placed great importance on this item.
Moreover, upon taking the Silver Dragon Egg, Xi Fei could also feel the unique connection between it and her master, that subtle vibration.
“Is it a Soul Contract?” Xi Fei felt a bit envious.
She hadn’t completely managed to suppress her soul’s vibrations, so she hadn’t met the requirements for a contract.
She truly envied this little one, managing to seal a Soul Contract with the master even before being born.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guang was ready to head back, but suddenly thought of something else.
He then turned his head towards the Plant Garden, and from a distance, he could see Mira directing the Rabbitfolk servants in cultivating and selecting plants.
Previously, the place for cultivating new plants was just a warehouse, but after moving to the new house, it had become a large plaza.
This plaza, as an adjunct to his own castle, was as large as one-third of the castle itself.
“Mira, come here, have you organized the list of Potions I asked you to collect?”
Seeing Zhao Guang approaching from a distance, Mira hurriedly put down what she was doing and ran over: “Lord, these are all that I have organized.
There is another half not yet sorted through, do you want to see it?”
The so-called organized ones were those that had been completely prepared according to the formula, and then tested to draw conclusions.
The unorganized ones were those with only the formulas but had not been tested yet.
Some Potions were not available in the domain and had to be imported from outside.
However, as long as they were useful, they basically began to be planted in the domain.
A large number of Rabbitfolk Druids made the best planters.
Looking at the thick stack, Zhao Guang knew that Mira had not had an easy time recently.
“No need, just these for now.
Remember to rest well, don’t spend all your time working.
Come to my office,” he said.
Mira nodded vigorously, but seemed not to really take it in.
For them, work was the most important thing, the only way to make themselves useful, to sustain their race.
And they were very grateful to Zhao Guang, willing to give their all in return.
Zhao Guang, carrying the items, teleported back to his office and started to read.
Ever since he had learned instant teleportation, Zhao Guang had used it to get around within his home.
Zhao Guang did not want to waste precious time walking, as his castle was a bit too large.
Sometimes, moving from one place to another could take a significantly long time.
Unfortunately, there was no Mage Tower in the middle of the castle, otherwise, he could have created a few special teleportation gates inside.
Well, time to look at the potions first, he thought, as he read at a glance through the records.
Each formula and potion had a clear record.
Some maintained their original recorded effects, some experimental effects, and some possible effects and estimates.
Even the conjectures about improvements to the formulas and various precautions were highly detailed.
Anyone obtaining these materials could probably become a Potion Master in a short time.
Regrettably, Zhao Guang was only interested in things that were useful to him.
Those that were useless, he merely skimmed over.
He still had not found what he was truly looking for, which was quite frustrating.
Suddenly, however, his eyes lit up.
“This poison seems interesting,” Zhao Guang looked at a poison formula.
At that moment, Mira finally arrived.
Unlike Zhao Guang, Mira couldn’t teleport.
Luckily, running was a natural talent for a Rabbitfolk.
“Master, are you interested in this?
It’s a poison we discovered that can be very useful during interrogations,” Mira said, visibly pleased, although she had originally found this type of drug unremarkable.
The drug caused gradual emaciation, letting the victim slowly feel themselves becoming weak and frail.
Eventually, the person would become nothing but skin and bones, dying from organ failure.
“If we control the dosage, we can prolong this process for a long time,” Mira explained, well-versed in her potions.
Zhao Guang’s eyes brightened even more.
If modified, could this not become a ready-made weight loss drug?
Although it was not a cure for hypertension, most cases of hypertension were originally caused by obesity.
If the obesity were resolved, then wouldn’t that solve the root of the problem?
“Very good, this drug is excellent, but looking at the formula, it possibly has toxic side effects,” he noted.
Mira was puzzled, “But this is originally a poison.”
Zhao Guang shook his head, “No, no, no, this can’t be used as a poison.
You will assist me next, as we need to improve this drug.
It must retain the effect of gradual emaciation, but can’t have any side effects.”
“But then, the speed of emaciation might also decrease,” Mira said.
“That’s exactly what we want.” Isn’t it said that losing weight too quickly can be problematic?
That’s the theory proposed by experts.
His drug didn’t have this problem, but that didn’t stop him from adopting this theory.
This weight loss potion might just be his biggest discovery today.
