Volume 1 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 49 The Virgin Body
Martin looked at the amber liquid in the cauldron, and he felt a strong attraction coming from the liquid.
It was a longing from his body, and the liquid in front of him seemed extremely tempting to him at this moment, the bright color, the aromatic smell mixed with a faint floral fragrance made him extremely eager to devour the potion in front of him.
He had never felt it this way, it was more intense than hunger, more exciting than thirst.
His eyes grew red, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he couldn't hold back any longer, and he picked up the long-handled wooden spoon next to him and scooped out all the amber liquid from the crucible and poured it into an empty clear glass bottle.
Then, he tilted his head and drank the potion from the glass bottle in one gulp.
"Gollum... Gollum..."
The fluid slid down his throat and down to the core of his body, and Martin felt his esophagus being wiped by the softest silk, so much so that he couldn't help but exhale after swallowing.
This concocted potion does not have the slightest taste of wine, but presents a faint sweet and sour taste, like a harvest of wheat, a stream in the forest in winter...
Suddenly, Martin's body began to twitch involuntarily, the itching accompanied by painful sensations traveled along the nerves to his brain, and he felt something in his stomach squirm.
The thing eroded into his body, and then, an indescribable oily feeling permeated every part, corner, and cell of his body.
His keen senses allowed him to hear a rustling sound coming from the surface of his skin, as if something was about to grow.
"Not good... There's something wrong with this medicine! ”
Fear took over Martin's brain, and the sensations coming from his body made him realize that he had just acted recklessly.
He was dominated by that devouring desire, and it didn't even occur to him that this potion could be problematic!
His muscles began to congest spontaneously, and then he shuddered.
"There is really something wrong with these two books....Did 'the betrayal of division' befall me so soon..."
Martin's mind is also gradually dulled and rigid, which is a strange feeling, obviously his body is filled with a slippery feeling, but his spirit and mind seem to be covered with a cover, and his senses are gradually disappearing.
"Is this the end of it..."
Martin lost his strength and fell to the ground, vaguely sensing something emerging from the pores of his body, and he was gradually encapsulated by a layer of hard object.
In his last consciousness, he saw the cover of the "split" recipe that had fallen not far away, the corners of the white face made of lines hooked up, and the smile grew bigger and bigger......
......
I don't know how long it took, but Martin woke up.
He found himself still lying on the ground, and there was silence around him, as if it was still morning.
He moved his left index finger, the movement of bones and the squeezing of flesh as he heard his heart beating steadily.
His eyes widened instantly, his hands pressed against the ground, and he was about to get up.
With the slight exertion of the muscles in his arm, he felt his head shake and he was already erect.
From the perspective of the outside world, he looks like a prostrate action in hip-hop dance, standing upright directly with both hands, looking very light and elegant.
"Huh?"
Martin was a little strange, he felt that his body had become very light, and the rotation of the joints and muscles of his body had become very smooth, like a machine full of oil.
He could clearly distinguish every muscle, every bone, every nerve in his body, and he tried to move the cartilage of his right ear, and blinked his left eye alone.
"I did it..."
Martin sighed a little, in his previous life, he could only blink his right eye, not his left eye alone, and he tried for a long time but still didn't succeed.
I didn't expect it to be possible now.
He did some strange movements that were very physically demanding, and the yoga movements that seemed painful in his previous life were extremely easy for him at this moment.
He had never felt that his body was so light and commanded, he felt refreshed after a set of movements, the functions of his body were fully stimulated, and there were already some beads of sweat on his forehead, but he did not feel tired at all.
As he moved, some dark fragments mixed with black and dark red fell from his cuffs and robes.
"What is this..."
Martin picked up a piece somewhat strangely and found that it was something similar to a "shell" that smelled fishy.
"Is it something that just came out of my body? Is this an impurity that is expelled from the body? ”
Martin held a piece of shard in his hand and guessed to himself.
After thinking for a moment, he got up and fastened the door, then took off his robe.
Beneath the robe is a perfect male body.
The slender limbs, the chest and abdomen core that are not strong but full of strength, and the clear and smooth muscle lines like sculptures...
"Whew..."
Martin exhaled, pulling off the remaining "shells" from his body and throwing all the fishy-smelling impurities into the fireplace.
Putting on his robe again, Martin felt more and more relaxed, he moved his limbs a little, and then leaned down to pick up the white-faced recipe on the ground.
"Congratulations, sir, the effect of the [Virgin Body] has been perfectly exerted in your body, and I can see that your physique has reached a new level and truly stepped into the extraordinary."
White Face was still so flattering, but this time Martin knew that what he was saying was the truth, and that his body had become completely different after the brief pain before.
"Next, you need to get acquainted with this new body and bring out its full potential, and I recommend that you keep it running at a high intensity every day until you lose your strength."
"I'm sure you can do it, after all, it's nothing compared to the [pain] needed to digest the enhanced version of the [Virgin's Body]."
The white face said in a respectful tone.
"You're pretty optimistic about me..."
Martin complained in his heart. After this experience, Martin had a certain trust in the whiteface recipe, at least temporarily, after all, judging by the appeal of the potion and the actual effect it brings, this potion should be fine.
And there is a real truth to the words of the white face, the new body needs new stimulation and constant adaptation.
Martin decided to train his body hard in the few days before the Sunflower Carriage report, trying to reach the limits of this body.
He was silent for a while, and then said to the white-faced recipe:
"Did anything happen when I was unconscious?"
"No one is bothering you, sir, I'll keep an eye on you!"
The eye lines of the white face trembled, as if squeezing the eyes.
"But it seems that someone has been wandering around the house a few times, it is the same person, male, I can hear his footsteps, he is not approaching the door or window."
White Face then said something that worried Martin.
"Tramp? Still is... Something to do with the apron and the mastiff from before? ”
Martin thought of the strange mastiff with a different head.
After killing the mastiff, Martin threw the apron into the fireplace to burn it, as it was likely to attract another mastiff or even some other strange creature.
Last time, he barely killed his opponent with the help of [Time Slicing], but next time it may not be.
But to his trouble, the apron was still there after half an hour of burning, and when he took it out of the fireplace, he found that the flames were not only ineffective against the apron, but also made the apron have some peculiar changes.
......
"There's one more thing I have to tell you, sir."
The white face interrupted Martin's thoughts at this point, and Martin came back from his contemplation and said to it:
"What is it?"
"And the other one of my kind, while you were asleep, has been speaking ill of you."
The white face unconsciously lowered his voice, like a child who secretly complained and was full of scheming.
"I've taught it some lessons, of course, verbally, and I'm sure he's realized his mistake."
The white face continued, his tone like that of a villain who was a fox and a tiger.
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing! You stupid! Bugs covered in garbage! You are as timid as the dove of Vannes Square, you guts bastard! ”
While the white face was still talking, Martin heard the blackface cookbook on the table start cursing, I can't imagine how this cookbook learned so many swear words immediately after [activation], it was originally just a book!
"Look, it's still cursing you! I'm sure you can wake up and teach him some hard lessons and let him know who is the master. ”
"In this regard, you are much better than the humble me!"
Whiteface wants to convince Martin that the blackface recipe is not cursing himself but Martin, which makes Martin smile wryly.
"Ignore it just yet."
Martin said flatly.
After listening to Martin's words, the lines of the brow of the white-faced recipe furrowed, and it seemed to be a little displeased, but it quickly returned to its normal "expression".
It seems that the white face cannot completely hide its true expression, after all, its "face" itself is made up of lines.
It didn't dwell on the matter anymore, but changed the subject and said to Martin:
"Sir, you have mastered the formula of the [Holy Mother Body], I feel that there have been some changes in the [Atlas-Salt of Life] on my body, I suggest you check it out."
"Huh?"
Martin was a little curious, he opened this [split] cookbook for the first time, and it felt a little strange, like opening a person's skin and starting to observe his internal organs.
Martin then found that much of the book was missing from the previous full recipe, and many pages were blank.
"Did you get assigned to another blackface cookbook..."
He secretly speculated.
He flipped to the page of [Atlas - Salt of Life] mentioned by the white-faced recipe, and found that this page not only existed, but also had some changes.
Originally there was only one triangle containing the mouth, but now a curved line appeared above it, and the other end of the line was also a sign.
The sign was a black feather.
