Two weeks later, inside Locke's simple laboratory.
At this time, on Locke's operation table was a coffin-shaped obsidian mineral bed, which he had ordered from alchemist assistant Tyne at Chimera Trading Market for 1,000 magic stones. It was specifically designed for cultivating Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria.
At this moment, black viscous liquid was writhing inside the obsidian mineral bed, like some kind of thick ink, but this ink was alive, with countless Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria rolling within it.
Locke snapped his fingers, and immediately the Tome of the Tombstone automatically turned pages and floated in front of him, opening by itself.
Locke read the information on it. Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria were a special type of bacteria that relied on negative energy particle fields to survive, a typical negative energy particle-dependent rod bacteria.
This type of bacteria was extremely rare and fragile. Once they left the specific negative energy particle field environment, they would collectively become extinct, and were not common in natural environments.
But these Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria had a special ability. The plasmids inside them could replicate the negative energy particle information that archaeologists input into them, and through this information, produce corresponding cells.
The reason archaeologists could create pure ancient creature bloodlines was through this special bacterial species, Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria.
However, cultivating this bacteria was quite expensive. Besides spending a thousand magic stones to create the specific obsidian cultivation coffin, Locke also spent five hundred magic stones purchasing corresponding Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria consumables, such as bacterial powder, culture medium, cell division acceleration potions, and the like.
At this time, Locke extended his right index finger and injected the Mordo language information he had read from the bone fossil specimen into this obsidian cultivation coffin.
Half an hour later, Locke injected the cat royal bloodline he had extracted from the cat woman and purified several times using potion science methods into the obsidian cultivation coffin because this involved his ancient creature bloodline essence, Locke chose not to seek assistants but to complete these tasks himself.
He currently had too few reliable assistants. The only somewhat dependable one was second-class wizard apprentice Terry but Terry still had to manage his personal pharmacy in another city. The Memory Ointment project was also very important.
After all, Memory Ointment currently brought him about 3,800 magic stones per month, which was a major source of magic stone income.
This was much more than what he currently earned from Super Mandrake Vines and Wiregrass Bull Sinew combined.
Locke used Mana Centrifugal Extraction to thoroughly mix the cat royal blood with the Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria, trying to increase their mixing area as much as possible to accelerate the speed at which this batch of Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria transformed the cat royal blood.
Fortunately, this was cultivation at the magical bacteria level, so the generation turnover was quite fast. If he were doing magical plant or magical beast experiments, waiting for them to go through several generations would take several months but with magical bacteria level things, adding a little cell division acceleration potion he had purchased, one or two days equaled several generations.
The next day, in the morning, Locke extracted these black liquids and placed them into a set of [Potion Material Crushing Equipment] that the academy had provided for his laboratory, crushing these Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria into fragmented mixed liquid and extracting the blood stored in their internal suspension bubbles.
Then he placed the fragmented mixed liquid into the column separation equipment for single substances that the Reeves family had previously given him.
He filtered out all the cellular debris of the fragmented rod bacteria, leaving only the relatively pure transformed cat royal bloodline.
Locke held a tube in his hand that showed no trace of black color, only bright red blood, and nodded slightly. This tube of blood was crystal clear and very beautiful under the laboratory lights.
Using a focusing monocle, Locke stared at this tube of blood. He could see that within these bloodline cells were some suspended spherical luminous bodies with surfaces covered in special neural-like projections, shaped like eyeballs.
Those seemed to belong to the special bloodline cells of the long-extinct creature, the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat. Using archaeological and potion science magical techniques, he had revived the special blood of this creature that had been extinct for countless tens of thousands of years from beneath the earth, from ancient fossils.
Locke used his right eye to read the Mordo language in this tube of blood and compared this portion of Mordo language with the Mordo language he had read in the bone fossil specimen.
Locke began to think, "Only about 90% matches up, but this is already quite good. The remaining 10% that doesn't match doesn't matter too much. During bloodline transformation, some bloodline factors will automatically attempt to match up."
"The key point is that this blood has indeed produced the special bloodline cells that only Three-Eyed Tiger Cats possess."
Over these two weeks, Locke had continuously repeated this operation countless times, from re-cultivating Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria to constantly reading Mordo language, intensively studying archaeological spells, taking Beholder Potions, and using drug enhancement to improve his archaeological skills.
Finally, through his efforts, he had successfully extracted the three test tubes of Three-Eyed Tiger Cat blood before him.
Of course, because this project was indeed too difficult, he didn't have enough time, and archaeology was something he had just learned, so the current positioning accuracy of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline still had some shortcomings.
This shortcoming happened to be at a critical threshold that might require at least half a year, or even more than a year of effort, to make up for this tiny difference.
Without hesitation, Locke placed these three tubes of blood into the Synthesis Cube.
Locke said, "The shortcoming can be made up through synthesis."
Three days later, in the simple laboratory.
Locke took out a tube of bright red blood from the cube. He saw the item description: Seventh-level synthetic item, Pure Blood of Ancient Creature Three-Eyed Tiger Cat: Cultivated through pure Gray Mushroom Rod Bacteria that took three full years to grow, combined with an archaeologist's years of practice and skilled Mordo language reading techniques, this is a premium version of Three-Eyed Tiger Cat blood.
Three-Eyed Tiger Cats possessed powerful physiques and strong pupil techniques. Using this bloodline might grant some of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat's abilities.
This hard-won ancient creature Three-Eyed Tiger Cat blood could have multiple uses, including alchemy, potion preparation, and so on.
Locke immediately used [Summon Tomb Spirit] to read the Mordo language information on it. He was delighted to discover that the similarity between the two had reached 95%.
This meant that the bloodline in his hands had a very small gap with the ancient creature Three-Eyed Tiger Cat.
Of course, the Mordo language he had read from the fossil bone specimen certainly had errors too.
In other words, this blood still had a considerable gap with the original Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline but one couldn't be too demanding about everything.
A completely 100% identical bloodline was almost impossible to obtain from a laboratory.
At least at his current stage, it was impossible.
Perfectionism could kill progress and would only slow down his advancement speed.
With 95% similarity, this bloodline already represented extremely small side effects and high quality.
Locke immediately used potion science methods, set up a crucible, and began preparing materials he had long prepared, planning to create a bloodline separation potion.
Then, he used the bloodline separation potion and Mana Centrifugal Extraction to separate the portion of bloodline essence he needed from this Three-Eyed Tiger Cat blood.
In this process, the quality of the bloodline separation potion he designed and his proficiency level with Mana Centrifugal Extraction would greatly affect the final quality of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline transformation potion.
After completing all this, Locke didn't immediately proceed to the next step but began thinking about the formula design approach for the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline transformation potion, checking if there were any omissions or unconsidered aspects.
Bloodline transformation potions were a potion system with certain established rules.
So he only needed to follow this modern potion science bloodline transformation design system and slightly adjust the potion formula to create a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline transformation potion formula.
This step would also greatly affect the final potion quality.
A day later, in the evening, Locke breathed a long sigh of relief. He had been conducting this experiment continuously for two days without sleep but looking at the two bottles of bloodline transformation potion in front of him, he still curved his lips into a smile.
He had succeeded.
Before him were exactly two bottles of Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline transformation potion.
"After working so hard for so long, I've finally completed the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline transformation potion." Without hesitation, Locke directly picked up the potion and injected it into his body with a syringe. Since this technology was relatively mature for archaeologists, he didn't need to verify it repeatedly. "Let me see to what extent this potion can strengthen my body."
"According to the information I have, the body strength from ancient creature bloodline transformation is completely incomparable to bodies transformed with modern magical creature bloodlines."
"This is also why archaeologists' combat power becomes extraordinary!"
This high-level bloodline transformation potion couldn't be taken orally. It had to be injected intravenously with a syringe to perform deep transformation on the body.
As soon as Locke injected this potion, he immediately seemed to hear roaring sounds like ocean waves in his ears. The sounds grew louder and louder, as if the ancient forest king, the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat, had been reborn before his very eyes.
His muscles began bulging one by one all over his body, then these muscles began shrinking, then bulging again, continuously cycling through this process. His magic pressure and mana actually began rising together during this process!
The increase was quite substantial!
