Chapter 376 Divine Elixir
All sorts of sounds went from being comforting to being noisy.
The sounds gradually overlapped and merged, eventually forming an invisible river that flowed into her mind from all directions.
Too much.
Too noisy.
The sausage wanted to cover her ears, but she couldn't lift her hands.
She wanted to call out "Doubao," but she couldn't open her mouth.
She could only stand there, overwhelmed by the sounds, like a leaf fallen on the water, drifting aimlessly, not knowing where it would go.
Just when she was about to give up—
A hand was placed on her shoulder.
The hand was cold, but it acted like an anchor, pulling her back from the torrent of sounds.
All the noise faded away in that instant, leaving only the most authentic sound.
The night wind howled through the camp, the campfire crackled, and Doubao's breathing was right next to him.
All senses were restored in an instant.
The sausage opened its eyes, and a wave of grievance washed over it.
She pouted but didn't cry out, because when she opened her eyes she saw dozens of pairs of eyes staring intently at her.
"Grilled sausage!" Doubao was the first to rush over, excitedly grabbing her hand.
"Are you alright? You scared me to death!"
The sausage opened its mouth as if to say something, but then lowered its head in fear.
"Have you awakened? You've awakened, haven't you? Yes, right!" Doubao's eyes sparkled as she pressed for an answer.
"Huh?" The sausage thought for a moment. Could it be that what she heard was true?
"I think I've awakened!" She was still a little unsure.
"It's alright, it's good that you've awakened, it's good that you've awakened!" DouDou comforted her.
She was under a lot of pressure, being the eldest of the three girls.
She also kept thinking about the two of them, Kaochang and Doubao. Now that only Doubao hadn't awakened yet, things were much simpler.
……
As Xu Si drifted away, he glanced at Fang Bo, seemingly unintentionally.
He, like everyone else, was in a state of utter despair and loss.
He was unaware that his was the [Debt Collector Sequence Awakening Potion].
If they knew, they would probably be even more heartbroken!
The atmosphere in the camp could be described as a mix of joy and sorrow, with the vast majority being genuinely disappointed.
……
Xu Si sat back down on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, withdrawing his gaze from Fang Bo without saying anything more.
Yi Yi nestled on his shoulder, her little hands clutching his collar, her eyes, sparkling with light, blinking.
Xu Si had two things to do that night.
One option is to use up the "space capsule," and the other is to continue taking drugs.
Since being promoted to Rank 5, his progress has been very slow.
When he upgraded his awakening potion today, he discovered that the system had introduced a new potion.
He plans to try it tonight.
He originally intended to attach the [Space Capsule] to [Nirvana], but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Nirvana's space is already large enough, and if it were expanded, its scale would be unimaginable, so adding spatial attributes to it would be a waste.
The [Cloak of Concealment] currently only has two cubic meters of space, which is a bit insufficient for scavenging resources, so he wants to upgrade its space.
Furthermore, if he could be given the spatial property of a [Poisonous Jellyfish], he would be incredibly wealthy.
Could he then hide in the spatial folds, which would be equivalent to having an extra means of survival?
Having figured this out, Xu Si no longer hesitated.
The system upgraded the [Cloak of Concealment] using a spatial membrane.
As consciousness sank into the system panel, the [Spatial Membrane] lay quietly in the dimensional space, its translucent texture resembling a solidified ripple of water, gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the perception of consciousness.
[Would you like to use 5000 purification points to upgrade the invisibility cloak with a spatial membrane?]
[Recommended to use in conjunction with Mizhu (糜珠), estimated purification points consumed: 12000]
Xu Si was taken aback; he hadn't been reminded of this last time!
He obtained the [Mi Zhu] in the salt market, but it hasn't been used yet. Could it be that the system is really going to give him a surprise?
"confirm."
Purification Points: -12000, Remaining Purification Points: 115670
[Time Limit: 7 hours]
Xu Si glanced down at the [Cloak of Concealment] on his body. The originally dull gray cloak was now enveloped in a faint, eerie light.
Occasionally, the surface ripples with water-like wrinkles, as if something is flowing and reorganizing within it.
He could sense that the space seemed to be expanding.
It's not a simple increase in volume, but rather the creation of a second space using the pearl as its core.
So this is a space within a space?
But seven hours?
That won't be until tomorrow morning!
Xu Si had thought that if it wouldn't take long, he could just wait a while, but now it seemed that taking the [Divine Elixir] wouldn't be a problem.
This medicine is really expensive!
The most expensive [Divine Body Potion] he ever used only cost 15000 purification points.
This [Divine Elixir] actually requires 20000 purification points.
Xu Si couldn't help but feel sorry for himself; it seemed that the higher the sequence of the medicine, the more purification points were required.
"Confirm redemption".
Purification Points: -20000, Remaining Purification Points: 95670
Xu Si opened his eyes, flipped his palm, and a milky white medicine appeared in his hand.
That white was not ordinary white, but a profound white that seemed capable of swallowing all light, a white that could devour the night sky.
If anyone saw the potion in Xu Si's hand, they would have the illusion that it was sometimes as bright as day and sometimes as dark as night.
"This is... the Divine Elixir?"
Xu Si muttered to himself, then unscrewed the bottle stopper.
It has no odor.
There was no breath.
Holding that test tube in my hand felt like holding an ordinary glass tube.
But he could sense that the snow-white liquid contained a power far beyond his comprehension.
Even though it was only a trace.
However, no one can ignore it.
Back inside Nirvana, Xu Si hesitated, recalling the dangers he had experienced taking the potion several times before.
However, the medicine in front of him always gave him a feeling that it was harmless and non-toxic, as if it came from his body's instinctive trust and desire.
Xu Si tilted his head back and drank the entire vial of medicine in one gulp.
When the liquid went down my throat, I didn't feel anything special at first.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Si felt a sudden sense of weightlessness, as if he had been thrown into the void.
There is no pain.
There was no burning.
There was no physical discomfort.
But his consciousness was instantly ripped from his body, plunging him into an endless darkness.
That was true darkness.
There was no light, no sound, no direction, and no reference points.
Xu Si floated among them, like a speck of dust, like a lonely star.
He didn't know where he was, who he was, or even whether he still existed.
Time loses its meaning here.
One second, or ten thousand years.
Just as his consciousness was about to completely dissipate into this void—
A star suddenly lit up.
He tried something, and then the second one.
The third one.
The fourth one...
Until he lit up countless stars one by one.
Eventually, they converged into a dazzling galaxy, like an inverted celestial river, flowing slowly before his eyes.
It seemed that everything was under his control.
At this moment, he seemed to have truly mastered divine power, a feeling so wondrous it was indescribable.
In this extremely long yet extremely short period of time, Xu Si seemed to become the creator, a god, and everything known and unknown.
He was suddenly jolted awake, his entire body soaked in sweat.
Yi Yi was still perched on his shoulder, clutching the Heart of the Ice Abyss, seemingly oblivious.
The system's countdown continues.
【06:54:37】
【06:57:36】
【06:57:35】
……
He remembered that this was around the time he drank the medicine.
