122: Chapter 122 Coagulation Reagents

"What are you looking for?"

Ivy looked around in confusion but didn't find anything wrong.

Seeing no one around, Nie Ning took a syringe out of his spatial ring and then pointed at the open space in the distance.

"Look, what's that?"

Hearing this, Ivy turned to look into the distance, and Nie Ning took the opportunity to stick the needle into Ivy's arm.

Ivy felt a sting in her arm and looked back at Nie Ning in disbelief, but by then, Nie Ning had already finished drawing the blood.

"It's just drawing a bit of blood; I wanted to see the difference between a Psionicist and an ordinary person. If you're fine, go back to sleep early. I'm leaving first."

Nie Ning finished speaking and took off running, fearing Ivy would cause him trouble.

By the time Ivy reacted, Nie Ning had already disappeared without a trace.

"That hateful guy!"

Ivy stomped her feet in anger.

No wonder she felt Nie Ning was acting strangely while talking.

She thought Nie Ning had finally come to his senses, but she didn't expect this guy just wanted to distract her!

Valk had just stepped out the door when he saw Ivy looking exasperated: "What are you doing?"

Ivy reined in her temper and shook her head: "Nothing."

"By the way, what did Bronk come here for?"

"To discuss official business and help him collect some exotic beast meat in passing."

As he spoke, Valk pulled a spatial ring from his robe: "This is the spatial ring Bronk used to pay off his debt. Haven't you always wanted one? Just take it and use it."

Ivy took the ring, thinking to herself that it would have been better if Bronk had given it to her himself.

But then Ivy's face turned slightly red, and she shook her head to clear her mind.

Valk, watching from the side, was completely baffled, thinking Ivy didn't like the ring.

"Thank you, Father. I have things to do, so I'll be going now. You get back to your work."

Ivy put on the ring and then skipped away from the administrative office.

Looking at Ivy's departing back, Valk rubbed his temples, completely unable to understand what kids these days were thinking all day long.

...

After Nie Ning returned to the basement, he began using Ivy's blood to create a potion.

While called a potion, it was actually removing the Power of Corruption contained within the blood.

Although Psionicists look the same as normal people, in reality, their corruption resistance is higher than average, or rather, they themselves share certain commonalities with the Power of Corruption.

Although Nie Ning didn't have much research in pharmacy, his high Spiritual Power was enough for him to make some simple potions.

For example, the Blood-Replenishing Potion he was making now could induce blood proliferation without the need for Hematopoietic Stem Cells.

However, the number of times blood can divide is limited, so this was only a special potion for emergency use.

Nie Ning's movements were fast because if blood is not preserved, it quickly loses its vitality.

After about fifteen minutes, by mixing it with therapeutic nutrient solution, Nie Ning produced a special Blood Coagulation Reagent.

Nie Ning held the potion in his hand and examined it.

The potion was green overall, with red spots floating inside.

This bottle of potion could increase the energy concentration in Ivy's blood while making it easier to absorb.

"I don't know if it'll work."

Nie Ning muttered softly and then downed the potion in one gulp.

In an instant, Nie Ning felt a chill all over his body, as if even his blood had frozen, and his limbs began to turn stiff.

However, this feeling came and went quickly.

As the Battle Qi circulated within Nie Ning's body, his body also became burning hot.

"More satisfying than drinking an ice-cold beer."

Nie Ning couldn't help but shiver.

Opening the panel to take a look, an 'Intermediate Ice Manipulation' had strikingly appeared on it.

It was just as he thought; the similarity between humans is very high, and the probability of obtaining corresponding attributes through Supernatural Adaptability should also not be low.

Nie Ning's eyes flickered as an unusual thought rose in his heart.

Unfortunately, besides Ivy, Nie Ning had never seen another Psionicist in the city.

And while he himself appeared to be a Psionicist, in reality, there were still differences between exotic beasts and Corruptors.

Both belong to innate abilities, but exotic beasts have racial abilities, while Psionicists are formed due to mutation.

As for Wizards, their elemental manipulation is an acquired ability, one of the side effects of powerful Spiritual Power, with their main power coming from the Power of Runes.

"Maybe I should ask Ivy if she knows any other Psionicists."

Compared to exotic beast flesh, Nie Ning wanted to try obtaining abilities from Psionicists more often.

Because a Psionicist's abilities are actually similar to those of Corruptors.

If Ivy were to become a Corruptor, she would most likely become a Corruptor who uses corrupted ice manipulation.

And the abilities of Psionicists are varied and strange; while elemental manipulation has wide utility, there are even more peculiar and powerful abilities.

Like the Black Tide of the ruins, the corrupted self-healing of the Human-Faced Balloons, or even potentially obtaining the eerie abilities similar to the Coffin Nail Old Man.

...

In the following days, Nie Ning remained immersed in his Knight cultivation.

With the support of the Strange Beast Body and crystal cores, his cultivation speed was so fast it even shocked Nie Ning himself; in just half a month, he reached the middle stage of Great Knight.

Nie Ning felt that aside from wearing a layer of human skin, he was actually not much different from an exotic beast.

However, while cultivation was smooth, the acquisition of exotic beast flesh was not as successful.

The nearby cities were adjacent to each other, and their resources were similar; geological differences meant the exotic beasts in these cities were almost the same.

Under these circumstances, obtaining the lightning attribute ability last time was simply a stroke of dumb luck.

This couldn't help but make Nie Ning start entertaining some devious ideas.

Because the longer the sealing box remained missing, the more anxious and uneasy Nie Ning became.

The current situation was very complicated.

If the sealing box were still in Ska City, there wouldn't be much to worry about; it would at least prove the Corruptor hadn't escaped, otherwise, news would have spread long ago.

Nie Ning was now afraid that the sealing box had been taken away.

Given a Corruptor's growth speed, if it devoured even a small town, it would probably be more than he could handle—this was the worst-case scenario.

Although he had already asked Valk to help send people to check the nearby villages and towns, he was still very uneasy.

A village without a powerful guardian is no different from a lamb waiting for slaughter.

Perhaps the people checking today found no problems, but in a single day's time, that village or town could disappear.

That is the Corruptor, the enemy of all living things.

...

Federation Branch.

Office.

"My Lord, were you looking for me?"

Lida entered the room and bowed respectfully as he asked.

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask how you all usually test for talent?"

Nie Ning closed the file and leaned back casually in his chair as he asked.

Hearing this, Lida was slightly taken aback, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

"Has My Lord never been tested?"

Nie Ning shook his head: "I obtained a Wizard Meditation Technique by chance. After practicing it directly, I judged based on the color of the elements shown by Elemental Affinity."
