Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 325: The Brain Tissue of the Colossus

Countdown! Begin!

"3"

"2"

"1"

At the final moment the countdown ended, Lynn gritted his teeth, suddenly stretched out his hand, and instantly flipped open the medicine pot lid.

Would it explode or not? It all came down to this single thought!

...

Meanwhile, in the distance, the Inverted Angel had already closed her eyes and once again erected a barrier around the hall she was in.

Because the result was bound to be meaningless.

He had already failed 199 times, so even if he tried another two hundred times, the outcome would surely be the same.The reason she hadn't stopped him despite knowing it was impossible was partly because this guy was too stubborn, but another important reason was that it allowed him to gain more exposure to pharmacological knowledge during the process of concocting that potion.

Failure is the mother of success.

It is also a Potion Master's best teacher.

After experiencing these two hundred failures, he would likely become much more adept at concocting other potions in the future.

Thinking this, the Inverted Angel glanced at the pillar deep within the hall where he was hiding.

But at that very moment.

*Bzzz—*

The anticipated explosion did not occur. Instead, it was replaced by one dazzling golden ray of light after another, erupting violently from that direction, illuminating the darkness within the hall.

The Inverted Angel was instantly stunned, and her eyes immediately revealed a look of disbelief and astonishment.

Wait a minute.

This golden light is...

Could it be...

This is ridiculous!

Bathed in the glow of the golden light, the Inverted Angel's face also showed a stunned expression.

Because she was very familiar with that golden light. It was the result of a large-scale energy dispersal that only occurred when sacred power completely fused with the medicinal liquid. In all the previous hundred-plus experiments, he had always been stuck at this step. Improper fusion would cause the energy to go out of control and produce a violent explosion.

This time, he actually... actually...

"Succeeded?!"

The Inverted Angel was utterly astonished.

[Ding! Your proficiency has increased to 200. Congratulations on mastering the concoction method for "Self-Binding Angel's Mercy."]

[Ding! Congratulations on mastering your first Epic-grade potion recipe. You have received a System bonus: Potion Brewing Speed +10%, Potion Efficacy +5%, Potion Making Level has reached Advanced!]

Accompanied by the System notifications in his ears.

Lynn's gaze fell upon the golden, sticky medicinal liquid inside the pot.

He calmly extended a finger, dipped it in a little, and gently pulled it away. Fine threads were instantly drawn out between his fingers.

And before his eyes appeared the potion's information panel.

[Self-Binding Angel's Mercy (Bootleg Version)]

[Quality]: Epic-grade-

[Ability]: Suppress Curses

[Description]: An Epic-grade potion meticulously bootlegged by a young man after experiencing two hundred failures. Due to some minor differences in the materials used, while the effect doesn't seem to differ much from the original version, it appears to have some minor, strange side effects...

Lynn feverishly and rapidly bottled the potion from the pot.

Even though it was a bootleg and seemed to have some weird side effects, this was still the best potion he had ever been able to concoct in his life!

And after learning how to make this potion, he would be able to better perform his duties as a Night Doctor while out and about!

"You actually really succeeded in concocting it?!"

The Inverted Angel stared in amazement at the bottles of golden potion Lynn brought over, looking at him as if he were a monster.

Lynn smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Matriarch, you see I wasn't lying to you, right? I said I'd succeed, and I did. Although there might be a slight deficiency compared to the one you concoct, after some improvements, I can definitely make it perfectly identical."

The Inverted Angel hesitantly used her telekinesis to make a bottle of the potion float before her.

She carefully analyzed the potion's composition and effects.

Indeed.

Although still a bit crude, the overall effect had already reached a usable level.

The way she looked at Lynn immediately became somewhat different.

"You actually mastered the method to concoct this potion after only failing two hundred times? Is your talent really that high?"

She was somewhat doubtful.

Because no matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like it!

Lynn smiled and adjusted his Monocle, saying, "One should not judge by appearances, Matriarch. Now you should believe in my capabilities, right? When it comes to medicine, my talent has always been quite substantial."

Of course, he absolutely could not let the Matriarch know he possessed a cheat-like System.

The Inverted Angel looked him up and down with doubt.

She knew.

This young man, who held the method capable of weakening the curse within her, must possess some abilities ordinary people lacked.

And now it seemed.

Her understanding and exploration of this young man were still far too shallow.

"Not bad." A smile appeared on the Inverted Angel's face as she said, "This is indeed something I didn't expect. However, you mustn't become arrogant or complacent. Even though you've learned how to concoct this potion, you still have a very long road ahead of you, understand?"

Lynn nodded vigorously.

Then, Lynn sat cross-legged on the ground, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Matriarch, how is the conflict between the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult you mentioned the other day? Any further news?"

The Inverted Angel knew he wanted to ask about this.

She said slowly, "Indeed, a lot of news has come back in the past few days. Based on the general intelligence we've obtained, the trigger for their conflict this time stems from an ancient artifact left behind by a Technological Civilization."

Lynn's heart immediately stirred, and he quickly asked, "What is it?"

The Inverted Angel said profoundly, "One of the core components of the Colossus."

Lynn was instantly shaken.

The ancient Colossus?!

Could it be...

"Yes." As if seeing what he was thinking, the Inverted Angel said with closed eyes:

"You've dealt with the Demonkin Association, so you should also know what the Colossus signifies. Although I have no connection with that Technological Civilization, since it also fell into this world three thousand years ago, it must have been an ally that fell during that Cataclysm alongside us back then."

"And the Demonkin Association is only one of the factions in this world that wants to pry into the remnants of that civilization. But the ones fighting most fiercely over the legacy of that Technological Civilization are still the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult."

Lynn nodded.

Indeed.

Because according to his Teacher's words and the information he had obtained.

The civilization capable of creating the Colossus was clearly also among the top-tier existences three thousand years ago.

And as the highest-level product of flesh and machinery fusion, it undoubtedly held immense temptation for factions like the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult.

And unfortunately.

His shop possessed a part of that Colossus.

The image of that agile Big Tongue immediately surfaced in his mind.

And his Teacher had also said that the Colossus's components were scattered across various parts of this world. The Demonkin Association's centuries-long search had only managed to find a very small portion of them.

"Matriarch, do you know which part of the Colossus they are fighting over?"

Lynn inquired.

Clearly, something that could make these two major forces fight over it definitely wouldn't be a part with unclear functions like the Tongue.

The Inverted Angel thought for a moment, then said profoundly:

"If I'm not mistaken, this time it should be the Colossus's...

"Brain tissue."

Lynn's mind instantly conjured an image of a steaming brain flower with eyes, a nose, and hands swaggering past in front of him.

Without a doubt, if it really was brain tissue, it must have also gained sentience.

Because even a Tongue could gain sentience, what part of the Colossus couldn't gain sentience?

Probably not just the brain tissue;

eyes, nose, arms, hands, and perhaps even (beep—) might have gained sentience too.

"You don't need to think about it too much. When they start fighting, things will naturally become clear."

The Self-Binding Angel said with closed eyes:

"Your most important task right now is to study hard. Don't spend all day thinking about irrelevant things. Do you have any other questions? After asking, go obediently for your internship and accumulate some clinical experience."

Lynn immediately snapped back to attention, adjusted his Monocle, looked up, and said:

"There really is one, Matriarch."

"It's like this. Ever since I was last summoned to Earth, I've been thinking about the issue of Summoning Rituals. What I want to know is, how can I have my own Summoning Ritual?"

"Although the generic Evil God sacrifices can also summon me to other worlds, the conditions are too harsh and very inconvenient. So I was wondering if there's a ritual that can specifically target me."

"If that were the case, it would be much more convenient for me to travel back and forth between the two worlds each time."
