I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 333 Refining Medicines

Standing on the ground, before a table affixed at the centre was the figure of Inala, mixing two solutions in a glass beaker, watching the reaction. On his left was a large scroll on which he wrote down his observations.

After his proposal, Geugeu created this medicine house for Inala and Wittral to conduct research and figure out a way to get their Spirit Containers back.

Originally, Geugeu meant for Inala to be brought before him in order to observe and tabulate the growth of the Brimgan Empire's Human Avatar techniques. But that had to be dropped after Inala lost his Spirit Container.

At present, the Cooter Clan was unable to locate either the insane Boar King or the Mudropper. There were two reasons for their failure. First of all, there was just one Boar King. So, they were constantly chasing after the latter's trails and were succeeding grandly in pissing him off.

Secondly, the Mudropper was hiding in the Brimgan Empire as a Free Human. The one being searched for by the Cooter Clan was a Pranic Beast. Hence, they already failed at that first step.

This meant that no matter how much resources the Cooter Clan used in their search operation, nothing fruitful turned up. And the longer this became the case, the greater they valued Inala.

After all, Inala did claim that he would be able to figure out a solution eventually. As to how long this eventually meant, they weren't worried. As long as Inala succeeds by the end of his lifetime, they'll be content.

Wittral was an Empyrean Snapper, with a lifespan of two millennia. So, time was on their side. Hence, they supported Inala, bringing forth the Cooter Clan's precious medicinal knowledge for him to make use of.

They weren't hesitant to give Inala the knowledge. It was because they had no plans to allow Inala to leave the Cooter Clan. Of course, Inala was aware of that but didn't seem to care.

He casually arrived before a medicine shelf and opened it to stare at a row of Influence Easing Elixirs. On the shelf adjacent to it were Low-Grade Elixirs. Anything he could or couldn't think of existed here, all manufactured by the Cooter Clan.

Empyrean Snappers were basically resource collectors, capable of accumulating mineral reserves by filtering them at the atomic level. Hence, whatever the Cooter Clan wanted to refine, they could draw from a reserve of the purest of elemental reserves.

"Can you mix these two in a ratio of five to seven?" Inala pointed at two boxes of vials and stared at a bald woman with pale, emerald mascara.

"Sure," The woman nodded nonchalantly and caused streams of fluid to flow out from each of the vials before mixing them accurately in a beaker. Named Taltal, she was a 2-Life Stage Cooter Clansman in charge of refining medicines, possessing an abundant knowledge of the subject.

She spent the entirety of her life researching and creating medicine, one of the most knowledgeable in the Cooter Clan. She was there to assist Inala and Wittral in their research.

In the past three months since Inala began to live here, Taltal was very helpful. She had a gentle disposition and was an eccentric individual who only cared about inventing new medicines and increasing the potency of existing ones.

Once the mixture was done, Inala put droplets of a variety of substances into the beaker, causing a chain reaction to result in a Prana-rich fluid.

'She managed to generate Prana merely out of a bunch of normal fluids. That's impressive.' Taltal subtly commented Inala's actions, analysing the process, 'Our bodies can digest and convert ingested food into Prana. She has replicated the same effect externally.'

By now, Inala had completely comprehended the data of Lurt and Fhoong Brimgan. Hence, armed with that data, he was able to figure out a refinement process in which the effect was somewhat similar to using Mystic Bone Art on a Mammoth Clansman's stomach after ingesting food.

The treasure trove of knowledge in the possession of the Cooter Clan, there wouldn't be a better opportunity to access them. Once he comprehended Lurt's data, Inala had a strong base in the field, able to hold his own and actually prove what he had claimed.

The fact that he managed to generate Prana in a container was a show of his abilities, proving to the Cooter Clan that he would eventually succeed. Taltal was the one to make a judgement regarding that and she felt the possibility was high.

'Inala has interesting ideas and can approach a problem from directions I've never considered possible.' Taltal tested the Prana-rich fluid and commented, "Contained in these 44 millilitres is three units of Prana. It's not much, but it's a good start."

"Currently, it's not stable like an Elixir." Inala explained his objective, "I intend to add stabilisers to it until the Prana in this fluid can naturally concentrate itself. As long as we improve in that regard, we'll be able to artificially create a Spirit Container."

"Let's call it a day. It's getting later." Taltal pocketed the gains of the day and left the house, intending to report to the Chief.

"I'm looking forward to our cooperation for tomorrow." Inala bowed slightly as Taltal left. Once she was out of sight, he smirked subtly and unfurled a scroll to look through its contents, 'I'm learning a lot. Once I'm out of here, I'll be an expert in medicine.'

He wasn't afraid of getting the timing of his escape right. Once he was ready, Gannala would know by reading his mind. She would immediately use the Prime Skill of Spirit Container Assimilation to allow Inala to regain his Spirit Container.

That way, he would recover his abilities instantly and could make his escape. Of course, he didn't come here just for the Influence Easing Elixir. That was merely one of his objectives.

His second objective was to groom the mentally weak Wittral into a Brangara hater, which was proceeding pretty well. The third objective was to use this extreme situation and birth a Nature in Wittral that allowed him to take on a human form, similar to the Boar King.

He had no intention of leaking the details regarding the Nature of Cultivator to the Cooter Clan. It had too many risks and would completely destroy the power structure of Sumatra Continent. Besides, the creation of this Nature was damn resource intensive.

The longer the target intending to obtain this Nature lived, the harder it became. It was the easiest to get the Nature of Cultivator when a baby. The required resources spiked exponentially with the passage of each year.

For Wittral to get the Nature of Cultivator would not be possible even if he were to consume the entire population of the Cooter Clan. He was too old for that. Inala didn't want the Cooter Clan to collapse upon itself in the quest to give Wittral the Tertiary Nature of Cultivator, which they wouldn't hesitate to do.

But there was a possibility to give Wittral a Nature that granted him human form, similar to how a Mammoth Clansman transformed into a Pranic Beast.

The last of his objectives was evolving his own set of abilities. Yes, he had finished determining a path at the end of which he would become strong enough to begin facing the Boar King.

And the time limit for it was the Second Major Disaster!
