Chapter 969 – Pseudo-Tier 7 Combat Power

“Divine Blood?” Shi Feng searched his memories for the name of the potion Silent Wonder had learned but failed to come up with anything. “What are the potion’s effects?”

Although there were quite a number of Advanced Craftsman Alchemy Recipes in the Greater God’s Domain, players only knew a small portion. While Shi Feng was a little disappointed that the recipe Silent Wonder had learned wasn’t for one of the stronger known recipes, so long as Divine Blood wasn’t a recovery-type potion, it should greatly help the current Zero Wing.

“This…” Silent Wonder hesitated momentarily, unsure how to word her answer. Ultimately, she simply shared the potion’s information with Shi Feng and stated, “I think you’d best look at it yourself, Guild Leader.”

[Divine Blood] (Advanced Craftsman Potion)
A potion concocted by the First-Generation Philosopher using Eternal Essence extracted from God Crystals. When consumed, the potion temporarily improves the user’s Life Rating and provides an unrestricted 400% increase to all Basic Attributes for 30 seconds.
Cooldown: 5 minutes
An unrestricted increase of 400% to all Basic Attributes?

Divine Blood’s introduction stunned Shi Feng, making him wonder if he was hallucinating.

Although there were many berserk-type Skills, potions, and tools in God’s Domain, they all came with limitations, such as being effective up to a certain tier. This was why the higher a player’s tier, the less frequently they could be seen using berserk-type Skills, potions, and tools. This was especially so for Tier 6 players, and there were two reasons for this.

Firstly, berserk-type Skills, potions, and tools that could affect Tier 6 players were incredibly rare. Even apex powers didn’t have access to many of these things.

Secondly, the effectiveness of berserk-type Tier 6 Skills, potions, and tools on the various major powers’ top combatants paled in comparison to that of Advanced and Peak Gold Combat Techniques. They might not even have any effect on players fully equipped with Divine Artifacts.

However, Divine Blood did not have such a restriction. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call the potion heaven-defying.

Additionally, Divine Blood provided an astonishing boost to Basic Attributes. Although it did not provide as large an improvement as specialized potions—such as the Craftsman Strength Potion, which increased the Strength Attribute by 500%—it provided a 400% increase to every Basic Attribute. This was more than what the Abyssal Eye’s Tier 7 Abyssal Will Skill provided. Moreover, Divine Blood had a Cooldown of only five minutes.

“How confident are you of producing Divine Blood?” Shi Feng asked, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

If Divine Blood could be mass-produced, it would absolutely rewrite the status quo of the current Greater God’s Domain. After all, the potion could instantly turn players fully equipped with just Taboo Fragmented Legendary Equipment into Pseudo-Tier 7 combatants. At just Level 230, a Pseudo-Tier 7 combatant could fight a Level 240 Ancient God-ranked expert.

“The production process is too complex. I doubt I can achieve even a 20% success rate with my current capabilities,” Silent Wonder said, shaking her head. “If I can advance to the Craftsman rank, I should be able to raise it to 40%.”

“Less than 20%?” Shi Feng wasn’t too surprised by Silent Wonder’s answer. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “It’s a little low, but Divine Blood is too important to ignore, so do your best to produce as many as you can.”

“Guild Leader, I’m afraid this will be difficult…,” Silent Wonder said, scratching her nose awkwardly as she shared a list of materials with Shi Feng.

Shi Feng frowned when he saw the materials needed to produce Divine Blood.

The cost of producing Divine Blood far exceeded his expectations. Besides about 100 Eternal Gold’s worth of secondary materials, Divine Blood also required three God Crystals to produce.

Any player who had delved into the production of items in God’s Domain would know that theoretical success rates did not translate to practical success rates. With a success rate of under 20%, Silent Wonder would be fortunate if she could successfully produce Divine Blood once out of ten tries. A more realistic scenario would be one success out of every 20 tries. In other words, it would cost Zero Wing 60 God Crystals and 2,000 Eternal Gold to produce one bottle of Divine Blood.

“Guild Leader, why don’t we wait a little longer?” Silent Wonder suggested to Shi Feng when she saw his ugly look. “I’ve already obtained Divine Blood’s recipe. Although it isn’t directly related to the potion I am researching, I learned some Craftsman-ranked production methods from it. I am confident I can become a Craftsman Alchemist within four months. At that time, the cost of producing Divine Blood will go down significantly.”

“No need!” Shi Feng shook his head and firmly stated, “You might have learned some production methods, but you still need actual practice to better grasp them. Moreover, four months is too long. I will have Blackie procure the materials you need, so just focus on making the potion.”

Zero Wing urgently needed top combatants that could fight Ancient God-ranked experts. Even Shi Feng had to rely on the Threefold Mana Body Technique and Dark Moon to fight Level 230 Ancient God-ranked experts, let alone Level 235-plus Ancient God-ranked experts.

If the production of Divine Blood was delayed by four months, Zero Wing would miss out on many of the Eternal Realm’s ancient ruins. Not to mention, Shi Feng didn’t have much time left until he needed to kill the Undying Mother. If he could supply every member of a 100-man raid team with a bottle of Divine Blood, the raid’s success rate would undoubtedly increase.

As for the God Crystals needed to produce Divine Blood, as long as Zero Wing was willing to pay the price, obtaining a large amount from the various powers wouldn’t be impossible.

“Thank you, Guild Leader! I won’t disappoint you! I’ll try to become a Craftsman Alchemist as soon as possible!” Silent Wonder grew ecstatic at Shi Feng’s words.

As Shi Feng stated, theoretical studies weren’t enough for an alchemist to improve; practice was also necessary. The only problem was that this practice came with an exorbitant price tag. Typically, Guilds would only procure production methods for their alchemists to study. At most, they would grant their alchemists some materials to practice these production methods a few times. Never would they give their alchemists a blank check to practice production methods.

…

After Shi Feng instructed Blackie to assist Silent Wonder in producing Divine Blood at all costs, he started to learn how to produce the Advanced Divine Enhancement Scroll.

Divine Blood might be a terrifyingly powerful trump card, but it only had a 30-second duration. It was only suitable for critical situations and could not be used to fight other powers over a long period. In contrast, although Divine Engraving Scrolls did not provide as significant an improvement as Divine Blood, they could provide players with long-term improvements. In the case of the Advanced Divine Enhancement Scroll, it could be used to strengthen the Basic Attributes of Legendary Equipment permanently.

So long as he could mass-produce the Advanced Divine Enhancement Scroll, it would ease Zero Wing’s equipment problem. After all, Legendary Equipment was much more readily available than Fragmented Divine Artifacts.

With my Concentration at the Pseudo-Tier 7 standard, if I use the Threefold Mana Body Technique to improve my control over mana, I should be able to learn how to produce the Advanced Divine Enhancement Scroll, Shi Feng thought as he stared at the Advanced Divine Enhancement Engraving’s Legacy recorded in the Book of Eternity. Then, he clicked to learn the Legacy.
