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

　In short, it's time to change the potion.

　There are four main types of potions for cultivating insect trees, and each season has a different one.

　Winter and summer potions are more expensive, while autumn and spring potions are cheaper.

　Therefore, it was the afternoon after the dueling lesson ended.

　Dak left the castle just in time and entered the traveler's street through the lakeside pavilion.

　……

　December has just arrived, and the Traveler's Street already has a Christmas atmosphere.

　Many shops haven't even put up their Christmas trees yet, but their flyers already have the words "Christmas Special Offers" on them.

　Dark walked through the long street and first entered the "Cuckoo Bird Flower Shop," where he bought the Winter Potion from the Insect Tree.

　He then went into the "Cat Grass Flower Shop" to inquire about the improvement of rabbit grass.

　The shop assistant was a little embarrassed: "The problem of improving rabbit grass is really difficult to overcome, but I just received a new variety here, would you like to take a look?"

　……

　Please vote for me!

Chapter 149 Darkdemon, King of Luck

　Dak isn't actually very good at saying no.

　Since he was also interested in it, he followed the shop assistant into the secret room again.

　The room had clearly been tidied up this time. The semi-finished products that were just used to test the reaction had been sent back to the factory for repair, and only a few finished products were still kept here.

　The most eye-catching one is still that snapdragon that looks like it came from the underworld!

　But next to the snapdragon, there was an adorable creature that instantly captured Dark's attention!

　"Is this a fennec fox?"

　Dak was pleasantly surprised.

　Seeing the positive response, the shop assistant proudly said, "That's right, this is a type of fox grass—ear fox grass!"

　The fennec fox is arguably one of the smallest canids on Earth.

　Through long-term natural selection, they have developed a pair of particularly adorable large ears.

　The fur ranges from milky white to pale yellow.

　The tip of the tail is usually black.

　The fennec fox in front of me is a very standard type. But its size is comparable to that of the kittens in Dark's dormitory.

　Dak fell in love with it almost at first sight!

　Originally, "paradise" and "fox" were a good match. Maybe if you're lucky, you can even create a Daji or something?

　While thinking about peaches, Dak asked, "How many credits is this pot of fox grass?"

　The shop assistant said, "Fox grass is not yet in mass production, so the price is a bit higher. One pot costs at least 100 credits."

　Dark: "Sure. Does this pot of foxgrass need special cat juice?"

　The shop assistant said, "No, that's not necessary. You can just use the same cat juice as regular cat grass."

　……

　It didn't take long.

　Dak left the "Cat Grass Flower Shop" with the fox grass in his arms.

　Then he strolled around the streets for a while and bought all the things he needed for Fox Grass.

　After getting this pot of fox grass, he always felt that his research was about to make a major breakthrough.

　……

　Previously, he was still struggling with whether to continue cultivating the "Fruit of Bliss" or to store up the "Bliss" to develop "Bliss IV".

　Now there's no need to worry about it anymore.

　The number of "Paradise Points" required for "Paradise IV" is not yet determined.

　But the new fox grass has already arrived.

　There's absolutely no need to hesitate.

　……

　Back in his dormitory, Dark did not rush to cultivate the "Fruit of Bliss".

　He planned to spend a day or two getting to know the fox-like plant.

　In short, another sleeping basket appeared next to his bed...

　Until Saturday night.

　He then picked up the magic brain dropper and used the "dragonfly dripping method" once again to extract the "bliss" overflowing from his brain.

　This way.

　The 5 points of "bliss" saved up last month, plus the 1.5 points of "bliss" from yesterday and the 1.5 points of "bliss" from today, make a total of 8 points!

　At this point, the "bliss" indicator changed from 109 to 101, which means it has entered a safe range.

　Next, he did not intend to risk further enhancing his bliss, but instead wanted to first reduce his "arrogance".

　But those are things to consider later.

　……

　After absorbing enough "bliss", Dark locked the cat grass in the bedroom, took only the fox grass to the balcony, and then opened the protective barrier of the insect tree, first injecting 1/3 of today's "bliss" into a certain insect branch.

　Thus, on the insect tree, one branch stores 3 points of "bliss," and the other two branches each store 2 points of "bliss."

　Dak picked up the fox grass so that it could suck up the insect branches.

　The effect is immediate.

　It did not change with the changing seasons.

　The emblem of "Paradise" first appeared on the top of the fox grass, then sprouted tender shoots, grew into flower buds, bloomed under the moonlight, and finally bore fruit.

　That was a fruit rich in "bliss"!

　Next, Dak injected the remaining 1 point of "Bliss" into the insect branch to continue storing it, and then, without forgetting to close the protective barrier, carried the hungry fox grass back to the bedroom.

　As the weather gets colder, Dak has already moved Niu Niu Cao's little house to a corner of his bedroom.

　Now all three "cat grasses" live indoors. Cow grass is quiet, cat grass is active, and fox grass is unusually clingy.

　Dak placed the whimpering fox grass in his sleeping basket and began his experiment.

　The experimental procedures are already well-established.

　First, summon "Potpot".

　Then place the "Fruit of Bliss" into the shell of the pot and wait for the fruit to dissolve and ferment.

　Fermentation takes about half an hour.

　Half an hour later, you can get a glass of "Fruit of Bliss" juice.

　Next, the basic alchemy method [Bird Beast Species - Normal Type] will be used for alchemy.

　The system uses 50 blank magic cards.

　The core ingredient is the Fruit of Bliss.

　As for the final result of the alchemy, that's entirely up to fate.

　……

　This was a process of refinement without any clear direction.

　Even the attribute selection for the alchemy method is to create "normal type" alchemy that can produce other attributes.

　This makes the experiment more random.

　This also increases the likelihood of the experiment failing.

　……

　But Dark always seems to have incredible luck when crafting Magical Spirit Cards.

　The entire experiment went exceptionally smoothly.

　Even after activating Transmutation Array No. 1, he managed to complete the transmutation at the last minute by adding extra materials, since the juice of just one "Fruit of Elysium" was not enough!

　In addition to the "Fruit of Bliss", Dark also added the "Andersen Potion" that he received from Sister Carian!

　Grimm's potion and Andersen's potion, one targets illusion, the other targets brainwashing.

　When faced with the choice between the two options, Dark chose Andersen's potion, which could remove most spells involving brain curses and mind manipulation.

　He originally intended to refine Andersen's potions into magic potion cards. However, as his knowledge accumulated, he realized that with his current level, it was impossible for him to refine such high-level magic potions into cards, so he has been putting it off until now.

　As a result, when adding the materials, he poured in all three tubes of Hans Christian Andersen's medicine at once!

　After that, the light of the No. 1 transmutation circle reached its peak, and the production of the Magic Spirit Card successfully progressed to the final smelting step.

　→The magic card turned into a cocoon of light.

　……

　Dark reached out and gently touched it, continuously pouring magic into the cocoon of light.

　Similar to the creation of the "Big Milk Tank", the magic power inside the cocoon fluctuated constantly, and various materials continued to melt and smelt. It took about five minutes for the power to stabilize.

　At this moment, Dark's expectations for this Magical Spirit Card reached their peak.

　He was eager to know what kind of magical spirit would be created without any deliberate guidance!

　So he quickly took the mercury knife and carefully cut open the entire cocoon of light.

　What shone through the cut was a dreamy pink.

　That is the color of paradise, and also the color of fairies.

　Dak was slightly lost in thought; he was mesmerized!

Chapter 150 In the Name of the Moon, I Will Punish You!

　The core ingredient of Andersen's potion is fairy flower, just as the core ingredient of Grimm's potion is magic herb.

　While psychedelic herbs can induce hallucinations, the Grimm potion extracted from them can resist mental illusions.

　The fragrance of the fairy flower can seep into the brain and cause people to lose their senses, but Andersen's potion, which uses the fairy flower as its core, can break the brainwashing spell.

　……

　This magical spirit, crafted using "Andersen's potion" as its core ingredient, possesses a powerful allure.

　The allure is very subtle.

　In the blink of an eye, Dark was free from that slightly seductive feeling.

　He smeared the card and immediately saw the magical spirit displayed on it.

　Those were cute little fairies in pink and white, adorned with ribbons.

　A faint orange halo emanated from the edge of the magic card.

　It was an orange card.

　……
