The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 367 - 349: Ratwolf (Part 2)

Moreover, this animal is very common. As of now, in all the bases under Fang Ka's command, this type of animal can be found.

Fang Ka's gaze lingered on Xia Lin's face for a moment before he slowly spoke up, "Xia Lin, I'm wondering from which point you think we should begin?"

The idea of influencing the weasel-mouse with the Magic Potion is certainly good, but to create a corresponding potion, a breakthrough point is required.

Without a breakthrough point, there is no place to start with this Magic Potion. Fang Ka already had some initial ideas in mind but was more interested in hearing Xia Lin's opinion.

He wanted to see how much Xia Lin had progressed during this period.

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin frowned deeply in thought. After a while, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

She then explained in detail to Fang Ka the breakthrough point she had conceptualized.

After hearing Xia Lin's words, Fang Ka gently nodded, reaching out to pat Xia Lin on the head with a touch of satisfaction, "Not bad, Xia Lin. I can see that you've made significant progress recently. Let's start the research now and strive to develop this Magic Potion as soon as possible."

"I've already issued orders to the managers of those bases to start building livestock farms. The sooner we create this Magic Potion, the sooner their livestock farms can be put into use."

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin nodded enthusiastically.

This was her first time collaborating with Fang Ka on the research of an alchemical product, and it had great symbolic significance for her.

Soon, the two were busy in the room.

This alchemical experiment was mainly led by Xia Lin, with Fang Ka assisting and providing some guidance, primarily to cultivate and train Xia Lin.

Engrossed in their work, they invested an entire day, making significant progress and successfully creating a semi-finished product.

Fang Ka led Xia Lin out of the Ancient Castle, then summoned the two merfolk responsible for delivering messages, commanding, "Go to Merfolk Town and give the order to capture a live weasel-mouse and bring it to us."

Upon hearing Fang Ka's command, the two message-delivering merfolk nodded in agreement.

Then, they quickly made their way toward Merfolk Town.

Fang Ka and Xia Lin waited in front of the Ancient Castle for about half an hour until they saw several merfolk carrying a tightly bound weasel-mouse approaching quickly.

Soon, the merfolk arrived in front of Fang Ka. They first saluted Fang Ka and then saluted Xia Lin.

Fang Ka gently nodded at the merfolk and then, holding the bottle of the semi-finished Magic Potion, walked towards the weasel-mouse.

The weasel-mouse had all its limbs tightly bound and was struggling hard on the ground, but such struggles were in vain and entirely ineffective.

Fang Ka approached the weasel-mouse, then pointed to its mouth, commanding, "Open its mouth."

Upon hearing Fang Ka's command, one of the merfolk immediately stepped forward. A few merfolk held down the body of the weasel-mouse while others pried its mouth open.

Fang Ka uncorked the Magic Potion bottle, pouring it directly into the weasel-mouse's mouth.

The weasel-mouse struggled desperately, but it was futile. It quickly swallowed the Magic Potion.

After the weasel-mouse completely swallowed the Magic Potion, Fang Ka gently waved his hand, and the merfolk instantly understood, releasing their grip.

Fang Ka glanced at the weasel-mouse on the ground and then slowly inquired, "Is this weasel-mouse male or female?"

Upon hearing Fang Ka's inquiry, the merfolk were slightly stunned, puzzled as to why Fang Ka was asking such a question. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Nonetheless, they dared not ignore Fang Ka's question, so one of the merfolk quickly replied, "Mentor Fang Ka, this weasel-mouse is female and is already pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded lightly, "This actually saves us some trouble. You can take it away, and tomorrow let me know all its reactions."

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, the merfolk exchanged glances, then saluted Fang Ka before taking the weasel-mouse back toward Merfolk Town.

Fang Ka shifted his gaze to Xia Lin beside him and then said, "Let's wait until tomorrow. Once we know the weasel-mouse's reaction, we can continue the research. If all goes well, we should be able to create the final product tomorrow."

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin lightly nodded, "Alright, Mentor Fang Ka. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Upon hearing Xia Lin's words, Fang Ka gently shook his head, "Nothing for now. You can attend to your own tasks."

Hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin lightly nodded, said nothing further, and then headed to the second floor of the Ancient Castle.

Clearly, she had some urgent alchemical experiments to conduct.

After watching Xia Lin's back, Fang Ka returned to his chaise lounge and began his Meditation Cultivation with eyes closed.

Early the next morning, the merfolk from Merfolk Town arrived at the Ancient Castle and relayed all the reactions of the weasel-mouse to Fang Ka.

After listening, Fang Ka had a general understanding, and then he headed to the second floor of the Ancient Castle.

Reaching the second floor, as expected, Xia Lin was still experimenting.

This time, however, the experiment seemed less demanding, so she immediately sensed Fang Ka's approach.

She paused what she was doing and looked at Fang Ka, inquiring, "Mentor Fang Ka, were there any results?"

Upon hearing Xia Lin's question, Fang Ka lightly nodded, "Yes, the merfolk just came and told me all the details of the reactions from that weasel-mouse yesterday. I have a rough idea now."

"Let's continue the experiment and aim to produce the final product today."

After saying this, Fang Ka then meticulously relayed all the detailed reactions provided by the merfolk to Xia Lin.

Upon hearing this, Xia Lin immediately understood, nodding lightly.

Then, she and Fang Ka resumed their alchemical experimentation.

The two worked for half a day and finally managed to produce the final product.

Looking at the Alchemy Potion in his hand, Fang Ka then said, "According to our expectations, this Alchemy Potion will not only affect the weasel-mouse that consumes it but also their offspring."

"However, this is just our assumption. The specific effects need to be verified by actual results. If the results don't meet our requirements, we'll need further refinement."

Hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin immediately nodded in agreement, "Mentor Fang Ka, you're right. Let's find a male and a female weasel-mouse and feed them our developed Magic Potion, allowing them to reproduce."

"Once their offspring are born, we will then be able to observe the detailed results."

Fang Ka gently nodded in response to Xia Lin's words, then slightly pondered before saying, "I'll leave this to you, Xia Lin. Head over to Merfolk Town and make the necessary arrangements. Is that okay?"

Hearing Fang Ka's words, Xia Lin was slightly taken aback but quickly gathered her thoughts, nodding lightly, "Mentor Fang Ka, there's no problem with that. I'll take care of it."

Xia Lin's capability was something Fang Ka trusted, so he gave a slight nod and said no more.

He then proceeded downstairs in the Ancient Castle.

Seeing this, Xia Lin promptly followed behind.
