Sanders frowned and said: “But the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower does promote blood circulation in the body. It is also effective in nourishing the **, so it can only be said to causes the sword to point in the wrong direction.”
Nisi quickly followed up and nodded as he said: “Yes, that’s right! Isn’t it just a little aphrodisiac side effect? It’s fine if it does the job.”
Angel also didn’t deny what Sanders had said but added: “There are many ways to promote blood circulation. It is possible to use this magic material if it only had an aphrodisiac effect.”
Nisi quickly said: “Then it’s fine.”
“But a point I don’t quite understand from this reasoning is that the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower is very expensive and a precious magic material. It can indeed promote blood circulation, but its side effects are also well known. The prominent effect seen here is the aphrodisiac side effect. In this case, why not choose the cheaper alternative, the Fragrant Blood Orchid. This magic material can not only promote blood circulation but is inexpensive and has no side effects at all.” Angel said.
Angel’s words made Sanders give a rare nod of agreement. He used his own eyes to judge the empirical truth. The Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower’s price is more than six times that of the Fragrant Blood Orchid, which is a large price difference. But for Sanders, these prices are the difference between dust and gravel. He personally didn’t care about the difference in price between the two magic materials. But when he looked again at the materials at this moment, Sanders realized he did not put much thought into this aspect.
Now that Angel mentions it, the difference in price is a little bit far. Sanders now took this into consideration as well. He is a second level wizard who earns magic crystal through many avenues. One magic crystal and six magic crystals makes little difference to him. However, for people like Nisi who often buys beautiful exotic plane slaves. He is absolutely a stingy person. He would never use an expensive magic material over a cheaper alternative.
Sanders looked directly into Nisi’s eyes and asked: “Why?”
Nisi wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
“Why don’t you use the Fragrant Blood Orchid..?” Nisi’s mind turned quickly, changing his expression and saying in a slightly obscene way: “Sanders, as you can see, I have many beautiful female slaves here. Heh heh, so the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower is a regular magic material I use and has a long shelf life. Also, I don’t have any Fragrant Blood Orchid in my storage right now, so I thought I’d just replace the Fragrant Blood Orchid with the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower instead.”
What Nisi said is also reasonable. However, Sanders had already previously seen Nisi’s lack of confidence from before, which is definitely an odd point. Therefore, he didn’t believe Nisi’s words at all and just treated it as him making up excuses.
Sanders had already made a judgment as to why Nisi chose the “Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower” over the better alternative in his heart. But he did not show any sign of this on his face. Instead, he looked to Angel and asked: “What Nisi said is reasonable. Do you have any other doubts?”
Angel pondered for a moment and hesitated to say: “I haven’t systematically studied pharmaceutics… but I have seen somewhere explaining how the natives of the Abyss Plane use the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower. They use it as a medium for catalytic reactions.”
Angel naturally saw this information in the alchemy books he had recorded in the Nightmare Plane. But he dared not mention them in front of Sanders, as to not arouse suspicion.
When Angel said “medium for catalytic reaction,” Nisi looked at Angel with an expression of surprise. This extremely dry and cold fact was actually spoken out from a young apprentice who had been in the Wizard Plane for only half a year?!
“Catalytic reaction medium?” Sanders seemed to recall something and fell into a brief event in his memory.
After a long time, Sanders said: “When I was travelling in the Abyss Plane, I seemed to have heard of something similar. An alchemy wizard from Sky Machinery City use the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower as a catalyst reaction medium. They combined it with locally found magic materials in the Abyss Plane.”
Sanders paused as more memories kept popping up in his mind: “At the time, we were stationed in the same site. I was on watch that day, and the alchemy wizard was refining medicine… I remember a blood branch wizard approaching the alchemy wizard and leaned over to ask quietly. ‘Can the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower be used with another wizard system in the same branch?’ The alchemy wizard’s response was…”
Sanders closed his eyes and tried to recall the alchemy wizard’s response at the time.
Angel was dumbfounded and thought: While you were on watch outside, could you still recall the dialogue between a blood branch and alchemy wizard that happened so long ago? And you said so yourself that the blood branch wizard leaned over to ask quietly. How were you even able to hear their conversation?
Angel’s surprise came from his ignorance of wizards.
Most formal wizards have phenomenal memories. If their mental force is particularly high, a small number of them can even reach the point of “eidetic memory.”
Eidetic memory is an extremely rare condition characterized by the brain having an automatic memory recording system. All memory can be recalled from the subconscious mind, and without any deliberate effort. An individual can remember the things they have experienced clearly and even recall in specific detail about their experience.
For example, an ageing mother with eidetic memory can still recall being in a delivery room and the specific details seen from many years ago. Even when she is in her seventies or eighties she can still recall small details: The doctor’s sleeve being unfastened, the gem on the earring worn by a nurse having a 36-face cut. A chirping bird in the tree out the window having yellowish feathers with several black lines and a cloud outside looking like a pony… Other people may only recall important events in their life, but patients with eidetic memory can recall all details their eyes have ever captured.
However, eidetic memory is considered a disease in which the patient loses the function of forgetting forever. So they will be trapped in their endless memories. Moreover, the human brain cannot bear so many memories, and their end is usually very miserable.
But wizards are different. Their memories can approach or even reach the point of “eidetic memory” but they will not end up burdened by these memories at all. Because the nature of memory in wizards is actually quite similar to that of mortals. The only difference is they can use mental force to open up the memory centre in the brain and make the hippocampus more active.
Although Sanders did not reach the point of “eidetic memory,” but his memory reached an extraordinary level.
In addition, when he was still very young and interested in alchemy, his attention was often focused on alchemy wizards… He was on watch outside the camp, but this did not prevent him from listening in on the conversation going on between the blood branch and alchemy wizard. Although he did not completely hear their conversation, he observed the exchange and saw their lips opening and closing when they spoke with each other.
In other words, Sanders recalled the lips of the blood branch and alchemy wizard when he went on an adventure into the Abyss Plane many years ago…
“The alchemy Wizard’s response was…” Sanders imitated the alchemy wizard’s lips and said: “When the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower reacts with magic materials produced by the Abyss Plane, the first effect is to catalyze blending and not act as an aphrodisiac.”
When Sanders finished saying these words, Angel gave a slight nod in his heart. The alchemy book he recorded states the reaction of the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower exactly as Sanders said. If the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower is used as a reaction medium with magic materials other than those found in the Abyss Plane. It will cause an aphrodisiac effect. However, if used as a reaction medium with magic materials from the Abyss Plane, the catalytic blending effect will suppress the aphrodisiac effect.
Sanders glanced at Nisi who subconsciously avoided Sanders gaze.
Angel added: “If the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower gives an aphrodisiac effect. Then it can naturally be added to the blood circulation fluid in conjunction with the other magic materials in the nourishment liquid. This can achieve the effect of nourishing the **… Although the side effects will embarra.s.s me a bit.”
“However, if the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower is used as a ‘catalytic blending medium,’ then the thirteen magic materials I listed earlier will produce another effect.”
Sanders has speculated on the outcome and stated: “The blood flow rate will become too fast, and the male pheromone secretion will become too excessive, causing an imbalance in the **.”
Angel said in silence: “In the end, death is a likely outcome.”
In short, if the ** cannot release an explosion, it may lead to death.
This is the kind of medicine that most protagonists take in the Earth Novels Angel has read—The Aphrodisiac. It’s also a kind of enhanced aphrodisiac that can cause those affected to die if they don’t have release. However, when the protagonists are “forced” to consume the aphrodisiac. They are usually surrounded by beauties, unlike in his situation. Everyone surrounding him right now is a man. The only female creature has been split in two by Saka.
“Why did you do this?” Sanders asked Nisi impa.s.sively. If it is just used as an aphrodisiac, Angel will be embarra.s.sed at most. Afterwards, he would just take a cold shower. But if used as a catalytic blending medium with the other magic materials, then this is really too excessive.
Nisi after a long time said in a mosquito-like voice: “There are no other Abyss Plane magic materials in the nourishment fluid, the effects of ‘catalytic blending’ won’t be produced.”
Nisi’s sophistry at this time is already very weak. Angel was about to point out “another kind of Abyss magic material” when he heard a burst of low laughter coming from Sanders.
He saw Sanders magic power fluctuating in his palm, and the whole cave was swept up by a strong wind.
When the strong wind stopped, Sanders had an extra puck of ice in his hand. The puck was hollow and filled with pale pink gas.
“This is an Abyss Plane magic material. Now tell me, why did you want to do this?” Sanders threatened.
The ice puck is filled with a gas-like magic material, which was a previously scattered fragrance by the Abyss Succubus soul called “Essence of Charm.” This Essence of Charm is very popular among witches and even more popular than Salomon Perfume.
The Essence of Charm has existed in the surrounding air after being scattered in the cave. So if the Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower is used to prepare the nourishment liquid, it will inevitably come into contact with this fragrance.
When Nisi saw the gas in the ice puck, he only gave an “I’ve been caught red-handed” expression.
Sanders looked at Nisi with a “please start your performance” expression on his face.
Nisi sighed and said: “In front of you, I wouldn’t dare hurt Angel… I just wanted to do a little experiment.”
“What experiment?” Sanders asked.
Nisi showed his hand this time and explained: “Most of what you have just speculated is correct. But a few points are wrong. The combination of the Essence of Charm and Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower with the materials mentioned by Angel earlier will indeed lead to a surge in male pheromones. But the effect is not only an increase in male pheromones. The Essence of Charm comes from a succubus, and a succubus is the ultimate manifestation of female pheromones. The Venus Stinger Scorpion Flower is also a manifestation of male pheromones, so the ultimate effect is that both male and female pheromones increase together.”
Angel frowned and asked: “Both male and female pheromones increase together? Wouldn’t the subject just end up dying faster?”
Both pheromones increasing at the same time. Angel’s ** is too weak to bear the strain, and he would absolutely die in a matter of minutes.
“It will be all right. This is just a little experiment.” Nisi said, but when he saw Sanders face darken, he quickly took out a hypodermic syringe filled with pale pink liquid from a s.p.a.ce capsule.
“As long as this liquid is injected into Angel, he’ll be fine, and it will also bring him many benefits!” Nisi points to the hypodermic syringe.
Sanders took the hypodermic syringe and scanned the liquid carefully. When it was identified, Sanders face became a bit strange.
“Mentor?” cried Angel in a low voice.
Sanders replied: “Nisi is right. You would be fine if you were injected with this liquid, and it would be good for you…”
Before Sanders finished speaking, Nisi jumped out and said: “Right, see, I told you there would be no problems. And I also gave away a big benefit to you for free. If Saka weren’t so unwilling to inject this liquid, how could I cheaply give this away to an outsider..?”
Sanders chuckled and said: “Because Saka didn’t want to inject it, you wanted to try to test the effects on others… Now with the Essence of Charm scattered, you had to play it by ear. You wanted to make it seem like an unintended consequence. Then have Angel inject this liquid to relieve the increase in male and female pheromones…”
Sanders shook the pale pink liquid in the hypodermic syringe and said: “Your abacus is really good.”
Through Sanders words, almost all of Nisi’s tricks have been exposed. In fact, before Sanders arrived with Angel, Nisi was still using a variety of words to tempt Saka into injecting the liquid. But Saka kept refusing, citing the arrival of Sanders and his apprentice as the reason. He said he wanted to be there to welcome their honoured guests, and ran outside to guard the cave entrance.
Nisi said with a smile: “I recently started a research project on gender which is at it’s critical juncture. I urgently need the data results from this experiment. Saka is unwilling to cooperate and the liquid in this hypodermic syringe is extremely precious. But it is a fact that I also don’t want to cheaply give this away to others. You also happen to come at the right time. Based on our long-standing friendship, it will not be a waste to send it to your apprentice.”
Sanders laughed out loud and felt too lazy to listen to Nisi’s nonsense any longer. He turned to Angel and asked: “Do you want to receive this injection?”
Angel listened to the conversation between the two with a face full of bewilderment. So far, he still hasn’t learned what kind of liquid is inside the hypodermic syringe.
“Mentor, what’s in the hypodermic syringe?” Angel asked curiously.
Nisi “coughed” two times and said: “Kid, why do you need to know so much? It’s a good thing anyway. If thrown into an auction, without tens of thousands of magic crystals, you cannot dream of getting it!”
Nisi’s response made Angel even more suspicious, and he looked at Sanders again for an answer.
Sanders also lived up to his expectations, slightly smiling and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice:
“Inside, ah… Is filled with a succubus’s bloodline essence.”
