Chapter 84 New Ideas for Dragon Power Potion

After recounting his experiences, Li Ang explained his purpose, removing the [Guardian Ring] from his hand and handing it over:

"Lottie, here you go. Thank you, it was a great help."

Lottie then noticed that in addition to his own protective ring, Leon had another golden ring on his hand.

Her expression froze slightly, her gaze lingering on Li Ang's hand for a moment, before she shook her head forcefully and pushed his hand back with a resolute tone:

"No, Mr. Li Ang, this is for you. You often have to carry out dangerous missions, and it will be more useful to you than to me. Besides... and I hope this ring can protect you in my place."

She looked up at Li Ang, her eyes clear and firm.

Looking into Lottie's sincere eyes, Li Ang felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He really needed the extra protection that the ring provided, and she wouldn't be able to survive in that apocalyptic scene on her own.

"Well... thank you very much, Lottie. I'll remember this kindness."

He solemnly put the ring back on his finger and made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he would take the place of the ring and give her the greatest protection.

After leaving Lottie's room, Leon went to Sandra Meyer's dormitory, knocked on the door, and was met by Harris with an angry expression.

"Wizard Leon?" Harris's anger vanished upon seeing Leon, replaced by a hint of surprise. "You're finally back."

Harris had barely finished speaking when another lively voice came from inside the room.

"Li Angqing!" Sandra Meya rushed out like a whirlwind and gave Li Ang a big hug.

Because of their height difference, Maya could only hug Li Ang's leg, which Harris saw as making them look like a father and daughter with a very good relationship.

Despite the pain in his leg bone, Li Ang smiled and said, "Your Highness, and Harris, I'm back."

After the hug, Sandra Meya circled around Li Ang, looking him up and down carefully.

Seeing that he was unharmed, she immediately patted his thigh hard with joy. Her strength was as great as ever, making Li Ang's already sore leg bones hurt even more.

"Excellent, perfectly intact. As expected of my chief knight."

Her bright green eyes sparkled, expressing joy in this unique way.

Li Ang joked, "Your Highness was indeed unharmed to begin with, but now things are a bit hard to say."

Sandra Meya was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Li Ang meant. A hint of apology appeared on her face, and she urged Li Ang to come inside quickly.

After the three entered the room, Sandra Meyer and Harris started chatting about what had happened in the tower while Li Ang was away.

Li Ang listened for a while, feeling there was no valuable information, so he asked:

"By the way, Your Highness, how is the research project progressing?"

A moment of embarrassment flashed across both her and Harris's faces.

"Uh... as for the research results..." Maya's eyes darted around, "The theoretical foundation is now more solid."

Harris pushed up his glasses and added helplessly:

"To be precise, progress is about zero. We're moving forward along the lines of what you've outlined, but we always struggle to balance drug efficacy and side effect suppression. And..."

She glanced at Sandra Meya.

"We always have disagreements on the details, and sometimes we argue for a whole day."

Maya muttered somewhat indignantly, "It's clearly your thinking that's flawed..."

Li Ang smiled, not surprised at all. He pondered for a moment and then explained the thought process he had been having while serving as a guard on the airship:

"I have an idea. We may have been too focused on solving all the problems at once. Perhaps we could try to handle them in stages."

"Segmented?" Maya and Harris asked in unison, both looking puzzled.

"That's right." Li Ang picked up a piece of parchment from the table and casually drew a few circles to represent different materials.

"For example, Dragon Blood Thorn. The previous extraction method involved putting all the ingredients into a pot and forcibly fusing them using high temperature and mental power. When it was about to get out of control, Ice Breath Grass powder was used to suppress it in an emergency. Although this method was quick, the addition of Ice Breath Grass would inevitably weaken the medicinal effect."

He pointed to the circle representing Dragonblood Thorn:

"My idea is to pre-treat the Dragon Blood Thorn separately before the actual refining. For example, grind it together with the highly stable 'Earth Dragon Shell Powder' and calcine it at a low temperature to try to create a 'Dragon Blood Thorn Stable Powder' that is as effective as before but more stable."

He then pointed to a few other circles:

"The other main materials are also processed in the same way. We first find suitable auxiliary materials for pretreatment to turn them into semi-finished products that are easier to control."

Harris's eyes lit up slightly:

"Break down the most dangerous fusion step beforehand and handle it separately? This idea... is indeed ingenious. It can significantly reduce the risks and difficulties during the final fusion, but..."

She quickly raised her questions.

"Even if several stable semi-finished products are successfully produced, their toxicity will still exist when they are finally fused together, and the side effects will likely be..."

Li Ang nodded; he had already considered this point. He continued to explain:

"Regarding side effects, I have a potentially feasible idea. Since it's impossible to completely avoid the irreversible damage caused to the user by a combination of multiple toxicities, let's try a different approach: cure the damage before it worsens and becomes irreversible. What do you think?"

"Cure it ahead of schedule?" Maya stared wide-eyed at Li Ang, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes," Li Ang explained, "I envision adding extremely high concentrations of 'An Shen Hua Concentrate' and 'Moonlight Moss Extract' in the final stage of the potion preparation."

The calming flower can soothe and repair a damaged mind, while the moonshoe moss extract has powerful physical regeneration capabilities.

The moment the user experiences the impact of the medication and their mind and body begin to suffer damage, these two potent healing ingredients immediately take effect, simultaneously repairing the damage—that is, destroying while repairing to prevent it from developing into irreversible harm.

This audacious, almost insane idea completely stunned Harris and Maya, leaving them speechless for a long time.

This completely overturns the traditional approach of potions that strive for stability and reduce side effects. Instead, it uses a simpler method to counteract the unavoidable side effects.

Sandra Mea was the first to recover from her shock, her emerald eyes blazing with an unprecedented brilliance as she abruptly stood up.

"Genius, Li Angqing, you are truly a genius! Now there is hope for our Dragon Power Potion."

Harris also let out a slow breath, pushed up her glasses, her eyes filled with admiration and excitement:

"Although...although it sounds very risky, this idea does open up a completely new possibility."
