My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 253 - Adding A Potent Ingredient

Chapter 253: Adding A Potent Ingredient

[Diamond-tier special item: Water from Spring of Life]
[Effects: allows the user to live forever, but they will age. The user’s strength will be fixed at that particular moment and will not increase.]
[Additional effects: Power of Nature (user’s cultivation speed will increase tenfold when they are near to nature).]
[Restrictions: water from the Spring of Life can’t be exposed to the air, or it will lose its effect within 12 hours, and it can only be carried by magic elements. Currently, the water will lose its effect in six hours.]
Watson reflected as he observed the water from the spring of life in the hands of those mages.
“Master told me that the spring of life could grant eternal life. I also heard that the elves could increase their cultivation speed by ten times if they were to drink from the spring. However, their strength would be permanently frozen in place. It’s pointless to have an increased cultivation speed if that were to happen.”
“Young Master Watson, what do you think of my gift?” Anna stood beside Watson and looked at him carefully.
“How did you get this bottle of Spring of Life, Anna?” Watson asked; he did not reply to her.
He knew that the Spring of Life originated from the moon well in the deepest part of the Forest of Eternity in the south. The elves had guarded the spring for decades, and many powerful magical monsters surrounded it as well. A giant elf named Druid had also used magic to seal the well’s opening. Even if Watson used the Wish for the World right to save the world, the magical seal would prevent him from getting water from that spring.
Antonio had told him all those things.
After all, the Spring of Life was the most precious treasure in the elven kingdom. Other kingdoms would steal them if they were so easily within reach.
Then, Anna said, “A few days ago, I had tried to get the Spring of Life. I made multiple wishes with the Wish for the World ring, but I couldn’t get to it. I had no choice but to ask Master Antonio.”
“Master Antonio is the only person in the kingdom to have drunk from the Spring of Life, so he must have an idea. So, I asked him about it in the morning. He taught me a magical communication ritual; he said to recite the name Vivian when I wanted to make a wish, and I could get the water that way. I did what he asked, and I succeeded.”
Watson wondered about the name Vivian after he heard that.
When Antonio gave him the sun and moon staff, he noticed the same name was on it. That person must have been very important to his master; she was even connected to the Spring of Life. He decided to ask his master about it when he could. Then, Watson focused his attention on the Spring of Life.
“Give me the water. I’ll try to see if I can remove the curse on it.”
“Yes, Master Watson.”
Anna kept her excitement in check as she grabbed the bottle of Spring of Life from her subordinate and handed it to Watson.
She was aware that the Spring of Life had side effects, so she did not taste it. Instead, she chose to delegate the task to Watson. On the one hand, it was out of respect for Watson, and on the other hand, she did not want her strength to be frozen at that point. She was only a gold-tier mage; she could become even more powerful in the future.
Watson glanced at the bottle in his palm, ignoring Anna’s conflicted emotions. He found that the bottle was made of ice-elemental magic; there was no trace of contaminants. Anna had obviously done her homework before acquiring the Spring of Life.
“What should I use to fuse the Spring of Life? Too bad I can’t improve on it. I don’t even know what kind of mess would happen after the fusion. It would be terrible if I could not neutralize the effects.”
Watson’s demeanor steadily shifted from reluctance to resolve as he shook the bottle in his hand. “Forget it; I don’t care. There’s no limit to the number of times the system can fuse. I’ll try it first.”
He snapped his fingers in front of everyone, and a green shadow rushed in from outside the window. It landed on his hand and transformed into a vibrant emerald-green seed. He had fused several platinum-tier Shadows of the World Tree, and that seed was one of them. The Spring of Life needed the Shadow of the World Tree to exist, so the fusion of those two items would bring immense power.
“System fusion, activate.”
The Shadow of the World in Watson’s hand changed into a streak of green light and covered the Spring of Life as he pondered about it. Then, the water boiled, and green bubbles emerged. The liquid, which had been like a lake that reflected starlight, had darkened. Then, the system’s notification rang in his ears.
[Congratulations, Master, for a successful fusion. You have obtained high-quality water from the Spring of Life. The water’s expiry has been extended to 24 hours. After consuming it, your cultivation speed will increase by 20 times.]
Watson was speechless when he saw the result.
The Spring of Life had only boosted some minor abilities after using a platinum-tier tool. He could not even choose which side effects he wanted to remove.
“This can’t go on.”
Watson muttered and decided to add a potent ingredient into the water of the Spring of Life.
“Little Gray, get Lilith here.”
After he said that to the air, a black hole the size of a fist immediately flashed on his shoulder; a pitch-black little mouse appeared. The platinum crown on its forehead shone brightly as it rubbed against Watson’s ear intimately. Then, it turned around and disappeared into the black hole again.
That mouse was the Heaven-devouring Rat King, and Watson had named it Little Gray.
After all, the Golden Flash and Emperor Cluck had names. As the third platinum-tier magical beast in Blackmoon Town, the Heaven-devouring Rat King should not be left behind. Initially, Watson had wanted to call it tool man because the Heaven-devouring Rat King was constantly splitting its body; it was a tool that helped Blackmoon Town move ores. However, the name was too ugly, and his family had opposed that. So, Watson had no choice but to name it Little Gray.
Kacha!
Little Gray had only left for more than ten seconds when a loud sound came from the hall’s ceiling on the Mage Guild’s first floor. An even bigger black hole had appeared. A tall and beautiful maid emerged from the spot. She licked her delicate red lips; there was a smile on her charming face. Then, she looked around before she walked toward Watson and knelt on one knee respectfully.
“Master, may I know why you’ve sent a pet to summon me?”
The maid, Lilith, was the Hell Baron Watson had created by combining the Devil’s Blood and the Purgatory Skeleton. She had been serving as the deputy head housemaid in Blackmoon Town. Lilith had definitely developed a lot under Nightingale and Capella’s guidance. She would no longer take off her clothes in front of Watson or offer someone to eat her.
Lilith’s arrival brought the entire Mage Guild to a halt. After all, she was a peak platinum-tier elite and a Hell Baron. Everyone there was fearful of her.
However, Watson did not feel anything. He had summoned Lilith for one purpose. “Lilith, I need to extract some of the devil’s blood in your body and fuse it with the Spring of Life.”
As a Hell Baron, Lilith’s corpse could survive for tens of thousands of years without decaying; one could even resurrect her. It meant that her blood had something in common with the Spring of Life. Watson had seen how Moriarty used the Devil’s Blood; it could allow a person to advance from platinum-tier to diamond-tier. It was not inferior to the Spring of Life. A fusion between those two items might produce some miraculous changes.
