The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　In late November, he devoted most of his time to researching the "Golden Kingdom's Elixir of Immortality," and now he has made some progress.

　Moreover, he also received some unexpected surprises during the research process.

　For example—"the Midas touch"!

　To create the "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality," one must utilize the "Power of Gold."

　To utilize the "Power of Gold," one must develop the "Seed of Gold." After creating the three magical spirits—the "Grave Digger of the Golden Land," the "Guardian of the Golden Land," and the "Cavalry of the Golden Land"—he suddenly discovered that his "Seed of Gold" had grown even stronger.

　The amount of "golden power" he could use naturally increased. In addition, he finally grasped the basics of the "Golden Alchemy Array". Now, he can use the "golden power" as an energy source and the "Golden Alchemy Array" as a terminal to perform the "Midas touch" and turn stones into gold.

　Although the "Midas Touch" spell only lasts for three or four seconds, now that the most difficult initial stage has been overcome, it can naturally accelerate rapidly and continuously increase the strength of the "Midas Touch" spell.

　After mastering the "Midas touch," his understanding of the "Golden Alchemy Array" deepened further. He even conceived the idea of ​​creating an "Alchemist of the Golden Kingdom" based on this.

　However, due to the difficulty, he still plans to first conquer the research on the "Golden Kingdom's Elixir of Immortality".

　Progress is fast and going very smoothly. The experiment is scheduled for tomorrow night.

　What he currently lacks is an understanding of the "Blood Forging Array." But he can't wait any longer.

　Deep down, he also felt a sense of urgency…

Chapter 1381 Darkdemon's Elixir of Immortality (4k)

　Thanks to the creation of the "Eternally Shining Golden Land", Dark has some basic understanding of the "Blood Alchemy Array".

　He spent some more time organizing his thoughts before getting up to draw his "big sin" for the night.

　In November, a total of nine points of "Pride", nine points of "Ecstasy" and twenty-seven points of "Greed" were drawn.

　"Pride" and "Bliss" are basically useless, but "Greed" has been used up to a minimum.

　My current "Pride" reserves have reached 10 points, and my "Bliss" reserves have reached 44 points.

　Since he has essentially achieved "Blissful" freedom, his "Bliss" will only accumulate more and more. However, considering the estimated 100 points of "Bliss" required to reach "Blissful V," it doesn't seem like that much.

　The remaining "greed" will be poured entirely into the creation of the "elixir of immortality from the Golden Kingdom".

　Considering the high energy consumption required for the experiment, Dark decided to continue drawing (greedy) tonight and tomorrow night.

　Therefore, after skillfully increasing "greed", he used the "magic dropper" to extract it.

　He'd already used this newly purchased "Brain Dropper" quite a while now. After drawing from it, he couldn't help but ponder its workings. "I wonder if, after using it for a while, I can use it as the core material to forge another 'Cosmic Brain Beast'."

　"Cosmic Brain Beast" is a very useful experimental assistant, and it learns very quickly. It is now a qualified assistant.

　But his experience making golems during this period taught him that he could never have too many assistants.

　He eventually put the "magic dropper" back.

　But as he let go, he looked at the "magic dropper," and a long-buried memory suddenly surfaced, reminding him of an encounter he had in his first year of high school.

　"Perhaps I should find an opportunity to go and take a look at that store."

　After a moment's thought, Dak casually made a mark in the corner of his notebook.

　He then continued his research on the "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality".

　...

　December 2nd, Wednesday.

　After spending an afternoon gathering all the missing materials, Dark finally began his experiment on the "El Niño Elixir of Immortality".

　The "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" comes in three colors: black, white, and red.

　His goal is to refine the "Alchemy of the Golden Kingdom of Destiny" and the "Alchemy of the Golden Kingdom of Bloodstained Red", while the other one, the "Alchemy of the Golden Kingdom of Awakening Blackened Red", is not under consideration for the time being.

　This wasn't because he preferred the white or red medicine. It was simply because his current research was based on the "Golden Alchemy Array" and the "Blood Alchemy Array," and the core materials he used were "Golden Power" and the most crucial "Grave Element"!

　Among the three types of "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" (white, black, and red), "Albino Destiny Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" targets "hand/graveyard," "Red Bloodstained Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" targets "deck/graveyard," while "Dark Awakening Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" only targets "hand/deck," making it the only elixir of immortality unrelated to "graveyard."

　Everything starts from the simple and progresses to the difficult. After successfully refining the "White Destiny Golden Kingdom Immortal Elixir" and the "Red Bloodstained Golden Kingdom Immortal Elixir," he will naturally be able to find a way to extract the elements of the Black Elixir from the Red Elixir and the White Elixir, and then continue to develop the "Black Awakening Golden Kingdom Immortal Elixir."

　Once everything was ready, Dak took the necessary equipment and tools and entered the "secret passage" again.

　Yes, although the "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" should theoretically belong to the "Potion Card" category within the "Item Cards".

　But Dark still decided to start with the esoteric arts.

　He wants to create the real "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" and then turn it into "Potion Cards"!

　Entering the "secret passage" and setting up the ceremony is all for the purpose of creating the "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" from scratch.

　After directing the magical elves to set up the temporarily borrowed "dream machine" on an open space, Dark began to set up the "Golden Alchemy Array".

　Both colors of the "Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" require the simultaneous use of the "Golden Alchemy Array" and the "Blood Alchemy Array".

　However, depending on the efficacy of the medicine, the focus of the treatment will also be different.

　The creation of "Albino Destiny Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" focuses more on the "Golden Alchemy Array".

　The so-called "elixir of immortality" has a more widespread name in legends: the "Philosopher's Stone".

　The ability to "turn stone into gold" is a byproduct of the "Philosopher's Stone." The "Golden Man," who was awakened along with the "Golden King," is the result of the "Alchemy of the Golden Kingdom's Immortality."

　Unlike when he first created "The Eternally Shining Golden Land," Dark now possesses more experience and is more skilled at setting up similar rituals.

　Centered on the "Golden Alchemy Array," the outer ring is engraved with the runes of the "Blood Alchemy Array."

　Then place the skeleton-shaped chair in the center of the double transmutation array.

　Once the ceremony was complete, he sat on the "dream machine," injected a little magic, and the bone hand that was originally pressed against the armrest suddenly lifted up, fixing his arm to the armrest.

　Then, the skull with the "Mud Nightmare Crystal" embedded between its eyebrows suddenly floated up and slowly descended from the top of its head, almost completely covering its head.

　The container filled with "tombstone" floated directly in front of him, slowly rotating and emanating an aura of death.

　Immediately afterwards, Dak closed his eyes and fell asleep.

　The "Mud Nightmare Crystal" instantly...

　It emitted a black light, which spread outwards from the skull, gradually turning the pale skull black, and then continued to spread towards the skeletal chair, until the entire skeletal chair was completely black.

　A black, muddy fluid began to flow from beneath the feet of the skeleton chair, slowly accumulating into a dark swamp and gradually spreading outwards.

　As the black flow gradually subsided, tiny human figures emerged from the mud, slowly wriggling and gradually resembling refined human bodies, their bodies covered with layers of clothing.

　As the number of "little people" gradually increased, the dark mud covering the ground also began to change.

　Soon, the outline of the entire "Golden City" appeared in this "secret passage".

　This time, the scene of the ritual was only condensed in the "Golden City," and the time point was after the "Golden King" restarted the land transmutation array and restored the Golden City, which had been destroyed, to its original state.

　After the kingdom split and the brothers turned against each other, the "Golden King" began a new round of scheming.

　The entire planning process was unknown to anyone, but the final result has already been revealed.

　Duck pre-determines the beginning and the end, and relies on the "dream machine" to deduce and complete them.

　In the end, they successfully replicated a golden substance that was less than the size of a palm.

　This substance looks like gold, but it is extremely soft to the touch and even emits a unique fragrance that whets the appetite.

　Dark took out the "Orb of Truth" and carefully put it away. Then, he sat down on the skeleton chair again!

　The "Dream Machine" is being activated for the second time!

　Of course, the reenactments of dreams cannot perfectly replicate history.

　The golden substance that is ultimately replicated may not necessarily be the legendary "elixir of immortality".

　He named the first product of the ritual "White Medicine No. 1" and then continued to create dreams.

　After that, the ritual was completed twice at a frequency of once every hour, and two ritual products were obtained in succession, which were named "White Medicine No. 2" and "White Medicine No. 3".

　The whole process went surprisingly smoothly.

　Therefore, Dak seized the opportunity and rearranged the ceremony.

　This time, he used the "Blood Transmutation Array" as the center, engraved the "Golden Transmutation Array" runes on the outer ring, sat on the skeleton chair again, and activated the "Dream Machine".

　The same dream simulation, the same people, and the same golden city. But this time, the protagonist is not the "Golden King," but (the Heroic King).

　The timeline is set after the "King of Heroes" ascended the throne, during the period when he attempted to turn the entire kingdom into a paradise for the dead.

　At that time, the Golden Kingdom was not yet the Golden Kingdom. The "Heroic Spirit King," who was born with the power to control the dead, began research on "Heroic Spiritification" in order to achieve his ideals.

　At the end of the ceremony, Dark successfully replicated the "elixir of immortality" made by "King Valhalla".

　It was a blood-red substance that was very similar to the golden substance that had been replicated before.

　He designated it as (Red Medicine No. 1).

　Then, just like before, he sat on the Bone Throne once more and began the next dream deduction.

　Two hours later, "Red Medicine No. 2" and "Red Medicine No. 3" were also produced.

　After obtaining a total of six test subjects, Dark finally finished his experiments for the night; it was past midnight. But he wasn't in a hurry.

　Only after all the experimental items had been properly collected and moved did he leave the "secret passage" and return to his dormitory in the tower of the Noble Academy.

　The feathered serpent golem guarding the tower entrance was too lazy to even open its eyes to look at him.

　Back in his dorm room, Dak didn't go to sleep. Instead, he continued to analyze the data from the six experimental samples he had worked so hard to obtain.

　He didn't finish until 2 a.m., then washed up and went to sleep. The next morning, he asked the two professors of his elective course for leave, which was readily granted, and he continued his research.

　Another day passed. It wasn't until Friday, the third day, that he began to turn the six experimental subjects into [Potion Cards].

　First is the "Albino Destiny Golden Kingdom Immortal Elixir".

　There were three experimental subjects in total.

　They started making the medicine one by one, beginning with "Yellow Medicine No. 1".

　The entire process of creating the "Potion Card" is meticulously calculated, leaving no room for error.

　With complete concentration and careful operation, Dak finally succeeded in turning "White Medicine No. 1" into a "Potion Card".

　But this "potion card" had no effect whatsoever!

　Even though he had anticipated it, Dark couldn't help but furrow his brow when the results actually came out.

　Of the six experimental subjects, none of them received the desired feedback after the actual extraction of the sample and feeding it to the mice.

　The mice that ingested white medicines one through three all died instantly. Of the mice that ingested red medicines one through three, two rotted to death, and one, while not dying immediately, emitted a putrid stench and transformed into a ghost-like creature, surviving for only a few more minutes. This outcome was, in fact, expected.

　Even Dak never imagined that he could replicate the legendary "elixir of immortality" so easily.

　His goal was not to create a true elixir of immortality, but simply to create a magic card with the effect of "resurrection of the dead".

　Those six experimental subjects existed only as core materials for the "Potion Card".

　"The abandonment of Baiyao No. 1 can be inferred as a failure to repeat history." After a short while, Dak began to carefully record and analyze the reasons for the failure.

　After resting for another fifteen minutes, he began to make the second "Potion Card".

　The core material this time is "White Medicine No. 2". It's still a useless card.

　Next up is "Yellow Medicine No. 3".

　He placed his last hopes on "Yellow Medicine No. 3".

　However, even after it was made into a "potion card", it still had no effect.

　All three experiments failed!

　"call--"

　After three consecutive failures, Dark couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then went out onto the balcony to get some fresh air, and it took him some time to calm his frustration. The failure of all three white medicines meant that his historical deductions about the "Golden King's" creation of the elixir of immortality were almost entirely wrong.

　There are likely deeper secrets hidden within that, secrets he failed to uncover. And under these circumstances, even if he were to deduce things several more times, it's hard to say whether he would get any results.

　Moreover, he doesn't have that much time and energy to repeatedly try and fail.

　The materials needed to set up the ceremony are also very precious and not truly inexhaustible.

　"Let's stop here for now and prepare for the next batch of experiments!" (Afternoon)

　Dak rallied and began producing the "Eternal Life Elixir of the Golden Kingdom Stained with Red Blood".

　He started with three experimental subjects, beginning with "Potion Number One." His condition wasn't affected by the failures of all the experiments this morning. After spending the entire afternoon, three "Potion Cards" were successfully created.

　Of these three "potion cards," the "potion cards" made from "Red Potion No. 1" and "Red Potion No. 2" also ended in failure.
