## Chapter 3: Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion

Among all the potions brewed by wizards, Dragon Blood Potion is considered quite special.

It enhances the physical constitution of the user. Even for a full-fledged knight, it still holds its benefits.

Its “specialness” lies in the vast disparity between its lowest and highest qualities. Inferior Dragon Blood Potions don’t even have a tier; they’re simply considered Zero-Tier potions. Conversely, superior Dragon Blood Potions can reach a Tier 3 level, something even formal wizards would covet.

The tier of a Dragon Blood Potion mainly depends on the quality of the Dragon Blood used as the primary ingredient. The higher the quality of the Dragon Blood, the stronger the effects of the resulting potion, naturally leading to a higher tier.

However, let alone genuine Dragon Blood, even obtaining blood from a slightly stronger Sub-Dragon species was beyond Su Nan’s current capabilities.

But there were alternatives.

The Black Scale Lizardmen’s ancestors were descendants of the Dragon race tens of thousands of years ago, carrying Dragon blood in their veins.

Although the Dragon bloodline had thinned considerably by today, it still contained traces of Dragon blood.

Su Nan’s goal was to extract Dragon blood from the Black Scale Lizardmen’s blood, achieving the standards required for Dragon Blood Potion materials.

Patting his cheeks, Su Nan regained his focus and prepared to begin.

However, even the initial step of moving the heavy lizard corpses to the operating table left him gasping for breath.

“Once I create the Dragon Blood Potion, I must take it myself first and enhance my physical constitution before anything else!”

Regaining his breath, Su Nan picked up the scalpel and began the dissection to extract blood.

The Black Scale Lizardmen had only died recently, and their corpses were preserved using drugs. Their blood hadn’t coagulated yet, making the blood extraction process quite smooth.

After spending over an hour extracting all the lizard blood, Su Nan began the bloodline extraction process.

[Completing a blood purification, ‘Bio-Modification’ learning progress +0.01%]

[Completing a blood refinement, ‘Bio-Modification’ learning progress +0.01%]

[Completing a bloodline extraction, ‘Bio-Modification’ learning progress +0.03%]

After multiple rounds of purification and refinement, a whole barrel of blood was reduced to a little over three liters.

Gazing at the thick, crimson blood resembling jelly in the glass beaker, Su Nan’s eyes flickered slightly.

[Dragon Lizard Blood, Purity 35.68%, Contains Dragon Lizard Bloodline. Injecting it into the body has a very small probability of causing mutation into a Dragon Lizard form, a high probability of causing rejection, and a severe possibility of causing death. Stronger constitution leads to higher mutation probability and lower rejection rate.]

“With my current skills, this is the best I can do.”

Su Nan sighed.

Bloodline extraction and refinement were part of Bio-Modification. He hadn’t even mastered the Bio-Modification skill, so his techniques were naturally limited.

Thankfully, he had the Synthesis Cube, his cheat tool.

“A Dragon Blood Potion requires 80 milliliters of Dragon Blood.”

Su Nan separated two 80-milliliter portions of Dragon Lizard Blood and placed them in the Cube. Soon, the synthesis interface displayed the corresponding information.

[Dragon Lizard Blood, Purity 51.59%, Contains Dragon Lizard Bloodline. Injecting it into the body has a small probability of causing mutation into a Dragon Lizard form, a high probability of causing rejection, and a severe possibility of causing death. Stronger constitution leads to higher mutation probability and lower rejection rate.]

“Not enough.”

Su Nan continuously added more Dragon Lizard Blood.

The purity of the synthesized product gradually increased, but the rate of increase slowed down as he added more.

Finally, after adding the eighth portion of Dragon Lizard Blood, the information about the synthesized product underwent a qualitative change.

[Sub-Dragon Blood, Purity 1.12%, Contains Dragon Bloodline. Injecting it into the body has a very small probability of causing mutation into a Sub-Dragon form, a high probability of causing rejection, and a severe possibility of causing death. Stronger constitution leads to higher mutation probability and lower rejection rate.]

“Success at last.”

A delighted smile spread across Su Nan’s face.

Sub-Dragon Blood was the minimum standard material for brewing a Dragon Blood Potion.

Considering this was his first attempt at brewing, the failure rate could be high. Thinking it over, Su Nan decided to prepare a few more sets of materials, so he stopped the synthesis there.

In the end, he synthesized five sets of Sub-Dragon Blood from over three liters of Black Scale Lizardman blood.

Instead of immediately starting to brew the potion, Su Nan completed a round of meditation, restoring his energy to its peak, before initiating the first attempt at potion brewing.

The most critical ingredient for Dragon Blood Potion was Dragon Blood itself, while the other materials were easily obtainable, something Su Nan had prepared beforehand.

He lit the alcohol lamp, placed the beakers, added water, and put in the ingredients in order.

The entire process was similar to the Silver Moon Flower extraction, except for an additional step at the end.

Under the bright candlelight, Su Nan flicked his finger, and a dot of blue-violet aura instantly submerged into the beaker.

At the same time, his lips moved slightly, uttering a series of strange syllables, sometimes sharp and high-pitched, sometimes low and faint.

As he chanted, the crimson liquid in the beaker transformed into various shapes.

Genuine potions, even Zero-Tier potions, required spiritual force guidance during the brewing process; otherwise, they would inevitably fail.

That was the reason for the mysterious and powerful nature of wizard potions.

After about ten minutes, the crimson liquid gradually calmed down, and its volume slowly decreased.

But at a certain moment, the liquid suddenly boiled violently, emitting a large amount of blue smoke. After a “pop,” it turned into a pile of black ash.

[Completing a Potion Brewing (Failed), Potion Brewing Proficiency +4]

“Even failed potion brewing grants a much higher proficiency boost compared to Silver Moon Flower extraction.”

There was no sign of frustration on Su Nan’s face.

He hadn’t expected to succeed in brewing the potion on his first attempt.

After resting for a while, Su Nan started his second attempt at brewing.

However, this attempt also ended in failure.

His subsequent third attempt at potion brewing also failed.

Summarizing the experience of three failures, Su Nan finally achieved success on his fourth attempt.

[Completing a Potion Brewing, Potion Brewing Proficiency +12]

[Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion (Zero-Tier/Inferior), Consuming it can enhance physical constitution. The specific enhancement amplitude depends on the user’s constitution. The weaker the constitution, the stronger the effect. Repeated consumption will weaken the effect.]

“Just a Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion?”

“Well, the Sub-Dragon Blood’s purity is too low, so successfully brewing it is already good enough.”

Without hesitation, Su Nan poured the potion down his throat.

The moment the potion entered his stomach, a surge of heat exploded and spread throughout his body.

Su Nan felt like his entire body was immersed in boiling magma, experiencing excruciating pain mixed with an undeniable thrill.

It took about four to five minutes for the pain to gradually subside.

Su Nan was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his clothes completely soaked.

But at this moment, he felt full of energy, his body brimming with inexhaustible strength, completely free from the previous feeling of weakness.

Taking off his shirt, Su Nan looked down at his body.

His previously skinny body, where his ribs were clearly visible, was now much more muscular.

He gently pressed his abdomen and could clearly feel the abdominal muscles beneath the thin layer of fat.

He clenched his fist, and prominent muscle lines immediately appeared on his arm.

Su Nan opened his panel and was pleasantly surprised to find that his constitution had increased from 0.7 to 2.6.

An increase of 1.9!

“2.6 constitution, that’s almost equivalent to a Probationary Knight who has been training for four or five years.”

Su Nan was filled with awe.

A single potion had transformed him from a frail ordinary person to a powerful Probationary Knight.

This was the power of wizard potions!

And this was only a Lower-Grade Zero-Tier potion.

If he were to use an entry-level Dragon Blood Potion, it might even allow an ordinary person to directly become a knight!

“Entry-level potions are still too far away for me. Now that I have the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion, it’s enough to fulfill the task.”
