"Oh, I'm sorry, senior sister."

Li Guanqi looked apologetic, and quickly walked up to Wang Yanqing, picked up all the paper-cuts on her thigh, gently placed them on the table next to him, and separated them one by one.

These are all "messy" paper cuts.

Well, maybe it's an animal.

Although Li Guanqi had no idea what these animals were.

His ability to "control paper figures" is also conditional, at least the paper cutout must look like something.

"..."

Li Guanqi looked at these speechless paper figures and was really speechless.

"Senior sister, then, which one do you like best?"

"If you want to say these are all ugly things, you can just say so."

"Um...cough."

Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed, tearing out a page from the book next to him, "Senior sister, let me cut one for you."

"OK."

Wang Yanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, "What do you want to cut for me?"

"Cut one...you."

Li Guanqi put his index and middle fingers together, turned his spiritual power into a sword, and cut rapidly on the white paper. He folded and turned the paper from time to time, and countless scraps of paper fell down.

He had learned the art of paper-cutting when he was experimenting with his "paper control" ability.

Turn on the computer, find a video of a paper-cutting master, and then use the passive ability of the "plunder" technique to easily learn superb paper-cutting techniques.

then.

Less than three minutes later.

A vivid paper female general appeared in Li Guanqi's hands. He even used the remaining pieces of paper to make a pair of armor, a spear, and a war horse.

There are obviously no details on the face of the paper man, but luckily, at a glance, you can recognize it - it's Wang Yanqing's face.

This is the ingenuity of the paper-cutting technique.

No carving.

But imitate his god.

"Wait a minute, senior sister."

Li Guanqi found several liquid materials of different colors in the alchemy room, and carefully applied them on the paper female general to give it color, with an extremely serious expression.

Wang Yanqing watched this scene from the side, stunned.

"Buzz——"

Li Guanqi placed his right hand on the head of the paper-figure female general, spread his fingers, and activated his "control" ability. His mental power spread out and poured into the paper-figure.

soon.

The thin paper body of the paper man began to swell, and in the blink of an eye it completely turned into a palm-sized living creature, galloping on the table, holding a spear, and charging back and forth.

"Kill!"

The paper-figure female general's long ponytail hair is flying, and her face is full of high spirits, resembling Wang Yanqing charging on the battlefield.

It's just that this "little Wang Yanqing" no longer wears red armor.

Instead, he was wearing cyan light armor.

"Ha, silly."

Wang Yanqing couldn't tell what his expression was, but he turned his head and smiled with complicated eyes, "I never ride a horse on the battlefield, okay? I just said you are not suitable to be a soldier, right? If you are a commander at the Five Elements level, how can you still ride a horse?

of."

"Haha, yes, and, senior sister, you see, the cyan color is also very beautiful."

Li Guanqi looked at the green-armored female general on the table and spoke softly.

"Um."

Wang Yanqing lowered his head and said nothing. He just grabbed his left arm with his right hand and said softly.

"..."

Li Guanqi was silent for a moment, then waved his hand to dissipate his mental power and supernatural powers, and the paper-figure female general turned into a paper figure again.

It seems a little too hasty.

Take your time.

"bite!"

"The side mission [Special Blood Potion] has been completed."

"You have successfully completed the refining of a different blood potion. This prompt is the task reward. You do not need to find a living person to test the effect of the potion. This potion is fully qualified."

Done?!

Li Guanqi was stunned.

No, why is it completed?

What's going on?

Full of doubts, Li Guanqi walked back to the alchemy cauldron again.

This is his ninth potion.

He had previously judged that the refining failed this time, but before he could pour the failed potion into the waste liquid barrel, the senior sister urged him with a pile of paper, so Li Guanqi did not dump the pot.

And now...

The potion in the pot was much less than when he left the pot, almost only one-tenth of the original amount.

And the colors are also different.

It was pale red before, but now, it has completely turned into the scarlet color recorded in the formula, exuding a pungent smell of blood!

“So that’s it?!”

Li Guanqi was stunned.

He finally understood what the problem was.

Absorbent licorice!

One of the medicinal ingredients in the formula of the alien blood potion is water-absorbing licorice.

The geographical environment of the Tulip Empire is completely different from that of southern Xinjiang.

There are many rainforests in southern Xinjiang and are always humid. The water-absorbing licorice growing in this area absorbs a large amount of water vapor for a long time, resulting in a lot of water in its roots.

Because of this, after it is put into the potion, a large amount of water in the rhizome will diffuse out, diluting the alien blood potion and eventually leading to failure.

This is something Mars didn't mention in the recipe.

Because the water-absorbing licorice of the Tulip Empire is not like this, the alchemist from Tulip naturally did not expect this.

Mars said nothing about this aspect of dilution and concentration.

Li Guanqi, a "little apprentice" who had just started alchemy, could not think of it for a while.

And now?

Because he was asked by Wang Yanqing to get the paper figurine, the diluted potion in the alchemy cauldron was not poured out, and the flame at the bottom of the cauldron was still burning.

Li Guanqi has been playing paper figurines with his senior sister.

The big pot here has been burning.

Eventually, the excess water in the potion evaporates rapidly in the boiling state. Due to the passage of water, the potion is no longer in a "diluted" state and gradually becomes concentrated, reaching the true standard of a different-blood potion.

At this point, the strange blood potion has been successfully refined!

"Sister!"

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Li Guanqi suddenly became excited. He turned around and picked up his senior sister, spinning around in circles in the room with great excitement.

"Lucky star! You are my lucky star, senior sister!"

"Eh?"

Wang Yanqing's sudden embrace made her look unnatural, her eyes evasive, and there was a hint of... shyness in her eyes?

"wrong!"

Li Guanqi's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly put down Wang Yanqing, then rushed to the cauldron and waved his right hand to disperse the flames below.

If you burn it again, it will be gone!

But even so, there was not much potion left in the pot.
To be continued...
