Following Wei Wei to the Spirit Materials Cold Storage, they passed through multiple verification layers—passcodes, iris scans, fingerprint recognition, and voice authentication—before the thick metal gate slowly swung open.
Beyond lay a corridor roughly ten meters long, blocked at its end by another metal gate.
After a second round of verification, the second gate opened, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance that filled the air.
Before them stretched a vast Spirit Materials Resource Repository. Every spirit material was neatly arranged on different shelves, meticulously categorized.
Four spirit qi generators stood in the corners of the repository, their spirit stones regularly replaced to maintain optimal spiritual energy levels for preserving the spirit plants.
Wei Wei approached the repository's computer and typed "crystal spirit fruit" into the search bar.
A black frame immediately popped up on the screen.
Crystal Spirit Fruit (Coordinates): Eighth column, third row, third grid. Current stock: 3 tons.
After retrieving the crystal spirit fruit based on the coordinates, Wei Wei returned to the screen and entered the name of another spirit plant.
She repeated this process several times until all the spirit materials required for the experiment were prepared.
During this time, Wei Wei also took some of the remaining golden rainbow fruit, which was in short supply, for use in the upcoming experiments.
After leaving the spirit materials storage, she led Feng Qi back to her private laboratory.
The subsequent experimental procedure was meticulous and time-consuming. Feng Qi remained by her side throughout, observing every step.
Whenever Wei Wei prepared a new batch of mental soothing potion, Feng Qi would taste it and describe its effects.
However, after several attempts, the potency of the mental soothing potion remained unsatisfactory.
To enhance its effectiveness, Wei Wei began adding increasingly potent spirit materials.
This process was highly complex. While incorporating these stimulating ingredients, Wei Wei had to ensure that the other components only enhanced the golden rainbow fruit's effects without interfering with its core properties.
Achieving this delicate balance required not only experimental data but also continuous testing and refinement.
Completely absorbed in her work, Wei Wei lost track of time.
By the following morning, she had prepared her eighth batch of mental soothing potion.
This time, the potion no longer appeared pale gold but had turned a light red.
"All done. Let's test the effects of this specially enhanced version. The medicinal properties might be a bit stronger this time, mainly to stimulate the golden rainbow fruit's potency for better results. This is about as far as we can push it; adding any more stimulating ingredients would damage the fruit's inherent efficacy."
Feng Qi approached Wei Wei and took the potion from her hand. Without hesitation, he drained it in one gulp.
This time, the potion was no longer colorless and tasteless. A sharp, spicy sensation shot straight to his head, like cheap, harsh liquor bought from a back alley.
Forcing himself to swallow past the acrid taste, the liquid slid down his throat, leaving a burning trail in its wake.
As the potion reached his stomach, his insides churned violently.
If anyone other than Wei Wei had given him this concoction, he would have sworn it was poison—a deliberate attempt on his life. But he trusted Wei Wei implicitly.
His body's powerful regenerative abilities activated, instantly repairing the microscopic damage.
Suddenly, a deafening bell seemed to toll in his mind. The world before him began to spin, tilt, right itself, and repeat the cycle endlessly.
The mental suppression he had endured began to unravel under the mysterious force's influence, yielding positive feedback.
The sensation lasted for about three minutes before gradually subsiding.
The Narrator's voice then chimed in:
The old woman's potion is impressive! I sensed a vast expanse of dark clouds in your mental realm, but the golden rainbow fruit potion just dispersed one of them—meaning a portion of your accumulated negative emotions has been purged.
"So, exactly how many dark clouds of negative emotions are lurking in my mental realm?" Feng Qi immediately asked, his curiosity piqued.
I didn't count precisely, but roughly a hundred or so.
Feng Qi: ...
After hearing the Narrator's explanation, he turned to Wei Wei.
"Sister Wei, this potion was remarkably effective, but the quantity is far from sufficient. I need a much larger supply."
Wei Wei shook her head.
"This potion is extremely potent. You can't use it too frequently. Each dose is like a mental cleansing, and excessive use could damage your mental realm. I recommend spacing out the applications."
The old woman is right. Your physical body possesses remarkable self-healing capabilities, but your mental consciousness lacks such innate regenerative abilities. Spacing out doses of this stimulating mental soothing potion is essential to allow your mental consciousness time to self-regulate.
After hearing Wei Wei and the Narrator's explanations, Feng Qi nodded in understanding. He then turned to Wei Wei and asked, "Sister Wei, how often do you think I should take it?"
"We can't determine the exact dosage yet. We need to test your mental strength first, then decide on the appropriate amount."
Feng Qi nodded in agreement.
He followed Wei Wei out of the private laboratory and into the Scarlet Research Institute's physical examination room.
The institute already had his physical data on file, including his mental strength readings.
However, each time he returned from the Dream Realm, both his physical and mental strength would fluctuate.
The previous data was no longer valid, requiring a fresh assessment.
With Wei Wei's assistance, he underwent the mental strength test.
Once the results were ready, Wei Wei retrieved the printout from the testing apparatus.
After carefully reviewing the report, she moved to the adjacent examination equipment and began operating it.
On the display screen, a 3D model of Feng Qi's body appeared, accompanied by the data sheet for the mental soothing potion.
After analyzing the data and comparing the results, Wei Wei stood up and approached Feng Qi.
"The results are in. Your mental consciousness self-regulation ability is quite impressive. You can safely consume 500 milliliters per day."
"One bottle a day? That's practically taking it like medicine," Feng Qi said, astonished.
There's no other way. Unless you can find an innate ability to heal mental consciousness or acquire Photographic Memory, entering the Dream Realm at such high intensity will only lead to you being completely devoured by negative emotions and becoming mentally ill.
Speaking of which, I suddenly had a thought. What if you've already gone insane? What if I'm just a narrator you've hallucinated, and you've been living in a mental asylum all along, muttering to yourself?
Let's rewind to the beginning. Everything you've experienced—the Dream Realm 1,500 years in the future, the struggles in the Sacrifice Line—was nothing more than a daydream during class, a young man's fantasy of saving the world. When you woke up, you were committed to a mental hospital for psychosis and haven't woken up since.
Feng Qi: ...
You can't be serious, right?
Hearing this, Feng Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You're just a dumbass system."
Next, he followed Wei Wei back to her private laboratory.
While waiting, Wei Wei spent several hours using previously saved data to concoct an entire box of "mental soothing potions" for him to take back and use regularly.
Although the potion's effects were limited, it would undoubtedly help mitigate the impact of negative emotions on him.
He was deeply grateful for Wei Wei's help.
It was also at this moment that he chose to bid her farewell.
He had arrived by taxi, but he returned in a private military vehicle from the Scarlet Research Institute.
As he watched the scenery blur past the window, he resolved to prepare for his next mission: infiltrating the Heijue Domain Field to seize the Miracle Bracelet.
