Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 116 - Language Expert

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Language Expert

Thorns Campus, Tang Qi’s brick and stone bungalow.

“Bang”

In the small living room, which now served as Tang Qi’s studio, a sudden noise was followed by a puff of smoke exploding before his eyes. It began no larger than a fist, emerging from the crucible, but it rapidly expanded, quickly enveloping the entire room.

Within the thick white smoke, a peculiar, outline-only face was slowly taking shape.

Its mouth seemed to move, as if it wanted to say something.

But before a word was uttered, it “sizzled” into fragments, the smoke abruptly retracting and eventually condensing into a drop of pitch-black liquid in mid-air, landing perfectly in the test tube passed over by Tang Qi.

...

“Another failure!”

Tang Qi’s brow was slightly furrowed; he knew all too well that the scene which had just unfolded was not indicative of a successful concoction of secret medicine.

From his expression, it was apparent that this was not his first failure.

Through the cracks of the window, daylight was already breaking outside, indicating that Tang Qi, the high school student, was going to skip school yet another day. The teachers must have grown accustomed to this by now; it was hardly a surprise.

Tang Qi paid no heed to the time, ready to spend the whole day on this if necessary.

His gaze was fixed upon the test tube he held in his hand.

Amidst the swirling ghost light, a special image emerged.

[Curios: Ancient Mongolian Secret Medicine.]

[Quality: Failed Product.]

[Information Fragment One: A failed batch of Ancient Mongolian Secret Medicine. The concoctor failed to include the desired command, but this doesn’t mean the secret medicine will be completely ineffective. In fact, it still possesses some hypnotic effect, although the effect will be unpredictable.]

[Information Fragment Two: The reason for the failure might be due to the concentration of the second main ingredient.]

“Hum”

Tang Qi’s gaze hesitated not and landed firmly on the second piece of Information Fragment.

Subsequently, he nonchalantly placed the failed product into the freezer next to him.

Turning his head, he re-entered the “Secret Medicine” Skill state.

This time, he began adjusting the concentration of the dark, sticky liquid — the second main ingredient soon to be added.

This scene was precisely why Tang Qi was confident that he could surpass Abu, who spent a considerable time researching, in a short span.

Abu’s talent in Secret Medicine was not low; he also thought boldly and performed any cruel experiment without hesitation.

But Tang Qi could cheat using his Special Ability.

Yet even so, Tang Qi still faced failure after failure, likely because the secret medicine knowledge he possessed almost entirely came from the “Original Secret Medicine School,” while that Ancient Mongolian Secret Medicine clearly belonged to another.

Though there was no conflict between the two, they seriously reduced Tang Qi’s success rate.

Approximately after a dozen breaths, another concoction entered its final stage.

“Bang”

When Tang Qi poured the last of the liquid into the crucible, the familiar strange noise resounded.

A plume of smoke burst forth abruptly.

In an instant, Tang Qi’s living room became as though an Illusion Realm, as a misty face slowly materialized.

Its mouth, merely contoured, silently uttered four words.

As the final word fell, all the smoke “sizzled” and concentrated, transforming into at least a dozen drops of red liquid, each one dripping down in sequence, collected by Tang Qi in the extended glass tube.

Tang Qi didn’t wait, immediately focusing his attention.

The red liquid had not a hint of the scent of blood; rather, it resembled Flames, seeming to leap and burn with an intense fervor.

A more powerful ghost light than before converged.

[Curios: Ancient Mongolian Secret Medicine.]

[Quality: Excellent.]

[Information Fragment One: An excellent-quality secret medicine. The person who consumes it will not be able to resist the command imbued within the secret medicine and will unconditionally obey the command.]

[Information Fragment Two: Targeted only at low-level Transcendents or ordinary people, with a certain chance of failure. Once failed, it becomes impossible to consume similar secret medicine again.]

“Success!”

A trace of joy appeared on Tang Qi’s face.

Although he had cheated, the secret medicine modification experiment that had troubled Abu for a long time had made a breakthrough in just one day under Tang Qi’s efforts. Wasn’t that something worth rejoicing over?

He placed the secret medicine, which now contained his own unique command, into a separate freezer, then Tang Qi glanced at the sky outside the window.

Then, turning his head back, he tidied up the workbench but did not stop working. Instead, he moved some other materials over.

After only a short rest, he quickly entered the state of Secret Medicine Skill.

Unlike the previous configuration of Ancient Mongolian, Tang Qi’s movements this time were rapid, and obviously, he was making a low-level secret medicine, which was successful in one go.

In just ten seconds, Tang Qi had an extra bottle of grey secret medicine in his hands.

“Another safeguard!”

Tang Qi looked at the secret medicine in his hand, murmuring to himself.

Indeed, it was a very low-level secret medicine. In fact, some methods not of the Mysterious Side could achieve the same effects as this secret medicine.

Memory Loss Secret Medicine!

Before discovering “Ancient Mongolian,” this secret medicine was what Tang Qi had prepared for McGraw.

Now, it served as a double safeguard.

“What destiny awaits him will depend on himself.”

Tang Qi placed the Memory Loss Secret Medicine and Ancient Mongolian together, then packed everything up.

After silently contemplating for a moment, he realized that he seemed to have some free time on his hands.

Evening was the right time to find McGraw and let him decide his future destiny based on luck.

Before that, Tang Qi didn’t want to attend classes, the police station was in “holiday” mode, and it seemed there was nothing to do besides cultivation.

“Fortunately, there’s this little thing.”

“If I unravel it earlier, maybe I can unlock the ‘Language Expert’ achievement earlier.”

Tang Qi prepared coffee and snacks for himself, half-reclining on the couch, he took out the Mysterious Hair Tie, while not resisting the urge to comment.

This Curio, obtained from the destroyed Gregory’s Self-portrait, had so far contributed to Tang Qi’s spiritual power growth, along with three kinds of rare, endangered languages. Although they all had certain uses, they didn’t seem to be of much help in combat.

However, the last time, it finally gave something that wasn’t language-related knowledge: Beast Taming!

It sounded like Support-type Extraordinary Knowledge.

Such fundamental knowledge is a prerequisite for striking out on Professions like Beast Tamer and Beast Shepherd, which is quite rare knowledge.

Whether it’s Beast Taming or Beast Shepherd, both are definitely Powerful Professions.

This made Tang Qi somewhat look forward to what he might gain after unraveling this Mysterious Hair Tie completely.

These thoughts churned out and then quickly settled again.

Tang Qi began to focus his mind to unravel the hair knot, and the brick villa quickly returned to silence, except for Tang Qi’s barely audible breathing, there were no other sounds.

However, if someone were here, they would likely be terrified.

After all, not everyone can remain calm after seeing a high school student casually playing with a bunch of hair that moves on its own.

If someone had even sharper senses, they might hear laughter of girls echoing from the unseen.
