Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Face Pinching (2nd Update!)
The effects of the Second Body Secret dicine is vividly illustrated in the knowledge of the Original Secret dicine School. It essentially imitates the abilities of the Transforming Monster, allowing the one who ingests the dicine to change into another person, as if acquiring a second identity.
The reason it’s not directly called Transformation Secret dicine is that there is another high-level Secret dicine with that na.
Compared to it, the Second Body is not only much weaker but also has nurous flaws.
The real “Transformation Secret dicine,” once consud, almost equates to having the Transforming Monster’s abilities.
However, the Second Body Secret dicine cannot achieve this.
After taking it, one can only choose to beco another human and cannot transform into other beings.
...
Additionally, it is not a permanent Secret dicine.
A batch of excellent quality Second Body Secret dicine has a shelf life of about one month.
If the second dose is not taken after expiry, the transformation will revert.
Furthermore, the range of transformations of the Second Body Secret dicine is limited to one’s gender.
n can only transform into n after taking it, and the sa goes for won.
Of course, this is of no importance to Tang Qi, but so with particular tastes may feel regretful.
“The Original Secret dicine School should not have produced such Secret dicine, but even camps inclined towards righteousness occasionally have one or two rebels. The Secret Alchemist who invented the Second Body Secret dicine was one of them,” Tang Qi confird after acquiring the heart of the Transforming Monster and imdiately began preparing other materials.
At the sa ti, he did not forget to extract all the knowledge about the Second Body Secret dicine from his mind.
It was a surprise to find that, following the Secret dicine formula, there was an anecdote that seed to concern the origin of the Secret dicine.
After a cursory read, Tang Qi was stunned for a mont.
The reason the renegade Secret Alchemist created the Second Body Secret dicine was actually due to a very deaning accident.
During his travels, he t a beautiful girl. They fell in love, but on their night of union, she confessed to him that she was half Transforming Monster, having awakened her talent at the age of five.
But because she only had half of the Transforming Monster bloodline, she could only choose one transformation in her life, so she chose to beco a girl.
What happened after the girl’s honest confession that night is unknown, but shortly after the Secret Alchemist returned to his School, he successfully invented the “Second Body Secret dicine,” with its limitations, aside from the shelf life, being the range of transformation.
What a sorrowful story!
However, without the dedication of this predecessor, the Second Body Secret dicine, a temporary Secret dicine that can be configured by apprentices and below, is unlikely to have been created.
Out of respect, Tang Qi silently expressed his sympathy, then happily proceeded with the preparation.
With only one batch of materials, naturally, there was only one chance.
Tang Qi took a deep breath, a thought crossing his mind, imdiately entering the “Secret dicine” Skill state.
With a progress of forty-one percent, Tang Qi’s actions were extrely smooth and natural.
One by one, the materials quickly disappeared into the heated Crucible.
Chaleon Blood, Mountain Leech Dried, Green Elf Juice, Honeysuckle Pollen… all were materials that quickly lted, and soon a pot of liquid with mixed colors was boiling in front of Tang Qi.
As the temperature rose, the liquid beca murkier and started to thicken, and a drowsy scent began to spread.
It was at this mont that Tang Qi added the dried heart into the Crucible.
Bang!
In just one second, Tang Qi suddenly heard a heartbeat.
Just as he thought it was an illusion, one beat followed another, the continuous, intense heartbeats began to sound; within the smoky Crucible, the originally small heart was soaking and expanding, about to return to its normal size.
Hiss!
A slender steel needle suddenly appeared in Tang Qi’s hand, piercing directly into the expanding heart.
Pop!
Just like a deflating balloon, the heart quickly shrank, and streams of green liquid splashed out.
When the heart completely disappeared, only a pool of erald green liquid was left in the crucible.
Tang Qi’s gaze imdiately sharpened, and as the familiar ghost light erged, a curve ford at the corners of his mouth.
[Curios: Second Body Secret dicine.]
[Quality: Excellent.]
[Information Fragnt One: An excellent quality secret dicine. The person who ingests it will obtain the ability to transform into another individual, but it can only last for one month. Once the transford form is confird, one can switch between the original body and the second body at will.]
[Information Fragnt Two: The scope of transformation will be confird according to the gender of the user. Once the form is confird, it cannot be changed.]
“Success!”
Although he was confident in his knowledge of Secret dicine and the cheating help of his Special Ability, which made the probability of success very high, Tang Qi couldn’t help but feel overjoyed when the final product of the Secret dicine appeared.
However, looking at the pot of green liquid before him and thinking about its origin, Tang Qi’s brows still slightly furrowed.
But the thought of his plan, plus the Special Ability that had already confird that this was an excellent quality secret dicine without any issues, reassured him.
Tang Qi took a deep breath; he did not transfer it into a glass bottle but instead picked up the crucible and poured the cooled liquid into his mouth.
Glug! Glug!
The anticipated unpleasant taste did not co. Instead, there was a sweet and cool flavor, but as soon as all of it poured into his stomach…
“Boom!”
“Boom boom boom”
The sound of a heartbeat ca abruptly.
And this ti, without any warning, one beat after another, extrely rapid, Tang Qi’s vision blurred imdiately, and in his trance, it seed as though his spirit was pulled out and entered a space of nihility. Before him was a body.
A body that seed to be made of clay—blank, ready to be molded at will.
Hmm?
Subconsciously, Tang Qi reached out with his ntal tendrils and began to knead and mold this body.
And that heartbeat was like a countdown.
Ti passed, uncertain how much, before Tang Qi a new body, entirely different from before, had taken shape. There seed to be a slight flaw on the face. Tang Qi, now completely imrsed in the sensation of “sculpting a face,” noticed the flaw and attempted to extend his tendrils to modify it.
But at that mont, with a “bam.”
His spirit was kicked out.
That was the last heartbeat, the countdown, over.
Tang Qi reopened his eyes; almost imdiately, he felt different. The body was still his own, but there was an extraordinarily strange sense of discomfort.
With this feeling, Tang Qi slowly walked to the floor-length mirror in the corner of the living room.
Hiss!
Even though Tang Qi was prepared, he was still startled by the scene in front of him.
The reflection in the mirror was no longer a delicate-looking high school student but a rugged, burly Big Man, the large disparity in body shape made the clothes seem overly stretched, appearing sowhat comical.
Most strikingly, on the burly man’s scruffy face was a distinct scar starting from above the right eye and extending down to the cheek.
Fortunately, the face Tang Qi molded looked rough but was actually of a deep-contoured, more mature and weathered quality. Combined with the scar, there was an odd sense of harmony.
The origin of the scar was undoubtedly the result of the Spirit’s tendril at the last mont, the abrupt kick out.
“This, then, is my Second Body.”
Tang Qi curiously observed the other “himself” in the mirror, silently feeling the difference.
The sense of discomfort was receding, and soon, he would be able to adapt to this newly transford body.
