Xiao Yi bought a set of experimental instruments including a heater, crucible, distillation flask, measuring cylinder, dropper, etc. from the School of Biochemistry of Anhui University of Technology and went to the factory of Zhouyu Machinery. He closed the door, drew the curtains, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his mind.
After a few more minutes of silence, I felt I was ready to begin.
Fortune Teller, Sequence 8, has been waiting for a long time.
On the huge workbench, there were experimental instruments on one side and potion materials on the other.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a palm-sized turtle shell. It is dark in color, but there is light flashing from time to time. If you carefully infer, the light is flowing in the shape of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
This is the main ingredient of the "Face Reader" potion.
Ancient people believed that the sky is round and the earth is square. The turtle's carapace is convex like the sky, and its plastron is flat, like the earth. The turtle seems to be carrying the world on its back. Therefore, the turtle is considered to be a spiritual creature that can know astronomy and geography. The turtle shell is used to predict the survival, prosperity and decline, and as a lucky charm for fortune-telling.
During the Shang Dynasty, the emperor's fortune tellers used charcoal fire to roast tortoise shells and used the cracks on the shells to predict state affairs, wars, weather, disasters, etc. The word "卜" (buy) came from the fact that after burning the tortoise shells, cracks shaped like the Chinese character "卜" (buy) would easily appear, and fortune tellers used these cracks to predict destiny.
According to legend, the inspiration for the Bagua pattern also came from the patterns on a turtle's shell.
This is the reason why the tortoise shell is used as the main ingredient of the "Fortune Teller" potion.
Next to the tortoise shell was a small glass bottle with a pinch of white-gray powder in it. Even in the sealed environment, the powder actually flew up from time to time, as if something was blowing it.
Slowly unscrewing the cap of the glass bottle, suddenly, a mysterious and strange sound came from the bottle.
Hahaha…
This is a joyful laugh.
Woohoo…
This is the cry that comes out of the throat...
After all, it is the ashes of the soul of a dead ghost, which is very strange.
With the small bottle as the center, illusory laughter and strange cries are intertwined, which will make ordinary people feel creepy and their backs cold when they hear them.
But for the awakened ones, this is nothing. Xiao Yi quickly and carefully pours the grayish-white powder onto the weighing paper of the electronic balance. One can even see gray specks floating in the air, transforming into the shape of a skull.
A complete tortoise shell, 0.1 gram of dust from a dead soul, and the main ingredients for the "Fortune Teller" potion are all here!
Xiao Yi nodded imperceptibly, quickly opened the property panel, and then called up the sub-page of the potion.
"100 ml of pure water, 1 gram of copper rust from ancient copper coins, 7 drops of the user's blood, 3 new shoots from old trees struck by lightning..." Xiao Yi looked at the formula and went over the detailed preparation process in his mind. He had recalled this process many times in the past few days. With his current memory, there was no possibility of error, but he still demonstrated it again in his mind.
After all, it would be difficult to get a second piece of the turtle's shell in such a short time, so there was no room for error.
He took a breath and exhaled slowly.
Get started!
Pure water, that is, distilled water, has already been prepared.
But it was distilled again with caution.
All instruments were cleaned with distilled water.
After all, I have been in the School of Biochemistry for four years. Although I have always been a poor student, I have done a lot of experiments.
So, Xiao Yi began to prepare the potion in an orderly and skillful manner according to the instructions.
One gram of copper rust was added to the distilled water, seven drops of blood were dripped from the index finger, and three new shoots of the old tree struck by lightning were added, and the water bath was heated. The water in the water bath pot had already boiled, and the distilled water in the flask also began to bubble slightly. Due to the lack of catalysis by extraordinary materials, no obvious changes were found in the liquid in the flask.
After boiling for nearly 10 minutes, Xiao Yi ground the turtle shell into powder and carefully collected it. At the same time, he said to himself, "It's finally the most critical moment. I need to be steady, have a big heart, and have great luck. I don't need to ask for help from gods or Buddhas, I just need the black technology system to bless me..."
After calming down for a few seconds, Xiao Yi picked up the 0.1 gram of dust left by the dead soul and poured it carefully into the flask.
As soon as this strange dust touched the liquid, it immediately made a sizzling sound, as if it had fallen into hot oil. In an instant, the laughter disappeared, and the illusory crying sounds around it became sharper and sharper: Woo woo woo!
Xiao Yi didn't delay at all and quickly poured all the freshly ground turtle shell powder into the flask. His hands were steady and not a drop of powder got on the mouth of the flask.
puff!
At the moment when the tortoise shell powder was poured into the flask, the hair-raising crying sound suddenly disappeared, and the gray light floating around quickly shrank into the flask.
Xiao Yi then breathed a sigh of relief and looked down, only to see that the liquid inside was dyed with seven colors, which were intertwined yet extremely clear.
Whether it was various powders, copper rust, or tree buds, they all melted into the liquid in just a few seconds.
This is really unscientific, but very mystical.
Gurgle, gurgle!
Colorful bubbles rolled and surged in the liquid, but could not escape and could only shatter sadly.
Gradually, the liquid in the flask became like liquid and smoke. Even though the light above was not very strong, it still emitted a dazzling light, appearing colorful and psychedelic. At the same time, if you look closely, you can find that there seem to be countless tiny bubbles inside that are constantly being born and dying. It even makes people feel that life is continuing in this constant birth and death, which is really amazing to look at.
Looks delicious too...
Keeping track of time, Xiao Yi quickly transferred the colorful liquid into a clean flask.
As expected of a magical potion that can make people achieve extraordinary things, everything changed in an incomprehensible process, producing a mysterious reaction...
Otoshi Ogawa raised his right hand, looked at the potion in his hand towards the light, and stared at the colorful and dreamy liquid.
It seems to have worked.
At least it seemed successful.
If I drink it, I can become a Sequence 8 Transcendent Evolver, a "Fortune Teller", and I can control the power of fate...
The thought flashed through his mind, and Yi Xiaochuan suppressed his impulse and used the "Supernormal Identification" to check it out. There was nothing wrong with it, so he stopped hesitating, lifted the flask, raised his head slightly, and gulped down the potion.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi's face twitched.
What kind of bond is this
Is this for human consumption
bitter!
So bitter!
Ten times more bitter than Coptis chinensis and bitter melon!
Everyone knows about devil fruits!
It is a fruit that can give you certain super powers after eating it. It is covered with spiral patterns from the skin to the flesh, and is extremely mysterious.
This magic potion is just like the "devil fruit", it looks good on the outside but tastes terrible actually, even worse than shit. Xiao Yi feels that his sense of taste has completely collapsed.
Not only the tongue is bitter, the heart is even more bitter.
Tears streaming down my face.
I don't know where this extreme negative emotion came from, and it's really heartbreaking.
Everyone has their own sufferings.
There are sufferings caused by birth, old age, sickness and death; there are sufferings caused by poverty, low status, lack of food and clothing.
If you desire something in your heart, it is painful not to get it, but it is even more painful if you get it but are afraid of losing it again.
Also, the pain of being unable to be together when you love each other, loving each other deeply but not being loved by the other, or the person you love deeply suddenly dies. The pain of life is the most torturous, adding suffering to suffering!
Bitter, bitter, bitter!
Since the world is where people live, it is naturally filled with all kinds of human suffering.
There are countless sufferings in the world, and it is like suffering from a myriad of pains!
The pain in my heart is overwhelming and the illness is unbearable!
The bitterness in his taste buds and the pain in his heart had just subsided a little, and Yi Xiaochuan keenly discovered that his face was flushing and his body temperature was rising.
He was very sure that he was like a hairy crab in a steamer, suffering the baptism of the potion both physically and mentally.
In the closed room, the central air conditioner was blowing cool air, and outside the window with thick curtains drawn, cicadas were chirping.
Otoshi Ogawa sat cross-legged on the clean floor with his eyes closed, looking calm.
But he was already sweating profusely, and the floor beneath him was wet.
At the same time, there was a buzzing in his ears, and mysterious whispers and shouts appeared.
The pain that pierces his soul and the torture that inflicts on his body are a double whip on Ogawa.
This mysterious mumbling and shouting is useless even if I block my ears. I hear hallucinations in my ears, like the roar of cars, the gurgling of water, the whistling of wind, and the chirping of thousands of sparrows in my ears. My mind is always in chaos. Sometimes I feel like I have returned to the place called home a long time ago, lying in my mother's warm arms. Sometimes I feel like I am standing on the corner of the street, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic. Sometimes I feel like I am fighting a murderer, and the knife is cutting my body inch by inch, cutting thousands of times, until only bones are left.
An iron rod was stirring in the brain, from ancient times to the end of the world, turning it into a pot of porridge, and then a handful of salt was sprinkled in. Finally, the mysterious whispers and shouts fell silent, and all the illusions disappeared.
Otokogawa opened his eyes blankly, and all he saw was white, his ears were buzzing, and his mind was empty. He remained in a daze for a long time, and his dull eyes remained unchanged, even his pupils were grayish white, making him look like a blind man.
Huh, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
At this time, he clearly knew that he had been promoted successfully and knew that he was a Sequence 8 "Fortune Teller".
Throughout history, in reality and novels, who are the fortune tellers
Yuan Tiangang in the early Tang Dynasty was a fortune teller!
It is said that he is good at "wind prediction", that is, he can predict good and bad luck by the sound and direction of the wind, and he is also proficient in physiognomy, Liuren and the five elements. Together with Li Chunfeng, he performed Tui Bei Tu and predicted the rise and fall of the country and the changes in humanity in the three thousand years after the Tang Dynasty.
The clay Buddha in "Feng Yun" is also a fortune teller!
The story of Feng Yun began with the prophecy of "How can a golden unicorn stay in a pond? It will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds." The following two prophecies of "The dragon's roar in the nine heavens will cause shocking changes in the world, and it will swim in shallow water when wind and clouds meet" also ruined Xiongba's hegemony.
This is a fortune teller!
