"Uh... I'm thirsty, is that a problem?"
Chen Shu pursed his lips and casually put the potion back.
"You brat..."
The old man chuckled and said, "Alright, this is it. The rest is up to your performance!"
"No problem."
Chen Shu's spirits soared, and he took out mountains of magical potions from his system space.
Just a rough estimate, their value could reach a terrifying ten trillion.
"Old man, does the time flow here really differ?"
Chen Shu extended his hand, touching the gentle radiance around him, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Controlling the passage of time could be considered an act against nature.
However, considering that the old man could awaken the spirits of heroes from centuries past, it seemed acceptable.
"Of course."
The old man nodded, "But with the change in time, the surrounding spiritual energy will also be unstable, making it impossible to cultivate Beast Taming Power."
If cultivation were truly possible, he would have already cultivated batches of top-tier Beast Tamers...
"As long as I can use it to mix potions, that's fine."
Chen Shu said indifferently, muttering, "I never cultivate anyway..."
"..."
The old man shook his head, about to speak, when his expression shifted.
"They're back. Are you ready?"
"My refining equipment..."
"It's already prepared for you!"
The old man waved his right hand, and a mass of darkness in the distance dissipated, revealing various complex instruments.
"They're all made with the finest materials, you can use them with confidence."
"Good!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "By the way, there's one more thing. Some potions are quite unstable and might cause a major explosion at any moment."
"Don't worry about it, just go all out."
"I mean, can my safety really be guaranteed?"
"..."
The old man shook his head and said, "One of my contracted spirits is above your head, what are you afraid of?"
"Huh?"
Chen Shu looked up but saw nothing, yet he felt relieved.
The old man asked, "Any more questions?"
"None."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "We can begin!"
Just then, a small cat suddenly appeared beside the old man, staring at Chen Shu with a smile.
"Meow—"
The small cat suddenly opened its mouth, and a dazzling purple stream of light spread out, merging into the surrounding darkness as if being devoured by an unknown creature.
"The current time flow is about one day equals one month. You may begin!"
The old man patted the small cat and turned to leave the space, leaving Chen Shu alone standing in the light.
"Okay."
Chen Shu nodded and began to focus on mixing the ultimate nuclear potion.
Now in this special space, he could mix potions freely without worrying about the impact of nuclear explosions.
Meanwhile,
The old man arrived outside the attic, a thoughtful expression on his face.
The top of the attic was now enveloped in strands of light, exuding a sense of sanctity.
"This is the first time I'm using this ability... I'm a bit rusty..."
He had long been able to control the flow of time, but its utility was minimal. After all, it couldn't be used for cultivation, only for research and development.
Furthermore, this ability required the corpses of legendary creatures as energy fuel, and the cost was too high, making this ability quite useless.
However, with Chen Shu, his ability could finally be put to good use.
"I hope you can bring some surprises, kid..."
The old man murmured, a hint of anticipation in his deep eyes.
Originally, he hunted the Purple Moon Great Fierce Beast with the intention of devouring it to boost the combat power of his sixth contracted spirit, and then directly initiating a legendary war.
In his plan, the war was expected to last at least a year.
During this time, he also had ways to increase humanity's overall combat strength.
But the current fierce beasts had chosen a direct exchange of lives, not intending to prolong the war, which had slightly disrupted his plan.
In his helplessness, he had no choice but to initiate the legendary war earlier.
However, Chen Shu had approached him a few days ago, causing him to change his mind and decide to give the other party time to prepare potions, which might change the tide of the war.
"I still need to prepare earlier..."
The old man's gaze fell upon the deepest part of Dragon Abyss, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
After a moment, he sighed and turned to leave Dragon Abyss...
Meanwhile,
Chen Shu was engrossed in mixing potions, with over a thousand bottles of gray potions piled beside him.
And all of them were enhanced explosive potions!
Even though the cost of a nuclear bomb wasn't high, over a thousand bottles of enhanced nuclear bombs were worth tens of trillions.
As for the other potions, there were only a few hundred bottles in total, less than the nuclear potions combined...
It was unrealistic to change the entire battlefield with his own strength,
But with the help of magical potions, that might not be the case!
Chen Shu's idea was simple and crude: to create a super nuclear bomb and send all the fierce beasts flying!
Although the idea was outlandish, it had to be said, it was very much in the style of a ferocious bandit...
Boom!
In a moment of carelessness, the gray potion he was mixing in his hand suddenly boiled,
Then erupted with brilliant white light...
However, in an instant, strands of light descended from the top of the space, directly annihilating the explosion of the potion.
"Another failure..."
Chen Shu frowned slightly but did not get discouraged, continuing to focus on mixing.
At the same time, his system was continuously producing enhanced explosive potions, ensuring he had enough to create the ultimate nuclear bomb.
A month passed.
"Brother succeeded!"
Chen Shu's expression jolted, excitement in his eyes.
Using the technique of mixing ferocious bandit-brand laxatives, Chen Shu successfully fused ten bottles of enhanced nuclear bombs together.
"Is this the ultimate potion?"
Chen Shu played with the grayish-black potion in his hand and murmured,
"If this were detonated, it would probably be able to injure a Golden creature, right?"
Ordinary nuclear bombs could only deal with ordinary Iron-grade creatures, while enhanced nuclear bombs could heavily injure Silver-grade creatures and also cause spatial rifts.
The ultimate nuclear bomb before him, naturally, could deal with Gold-grade creatures!
Golden creatures were already considered high-level beings and were the main force on the battlefield!
"But it's still not enough! This thing can only deal with ordinary Golden creatures; it can't kill mutated or lord-level ones..."
Chen Shu licked his lips and looked at the mountains of enhanced nuclear bombs beside him, a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Ten bottles of enhanced potions fused together are considered an ultimate potion... What about a hundred bottles, or a thousand..."
