Hunting a level 6 dragon was already considered dangerous for Jiang Kehan, let alone the possibility of level 7 dragons appearing in the Dragon Disaster.
Therefore, she had no choice but to temporarily dismantle her spell based on the materials Jiang Kehan had purchased, so that the other party could now have some ability to protect herself.
However, Ye Yu wouldn't tell Jiang Kehan any of this; she simply gave Jiang Kehan calm instructions on how to refine the magic potion.
But Jiang Kehan had already seen the situation of this spell through the Heroic Spirit Cat.
[Scorching Flame: A level 7 spell created by Ye Yu, now disassembled. Belonging to the Arcane faction, when attached to a staff, it can inflict Soul Burn on enemy wounds through melee combat, enough to be fatal to creatures one level higher than the spell's level.]
This spell was clearly chosen by Ye Yu specifically for Jiang Kehan, and even its effects could be perfectly complemented by the sword and staff she was forging.
The sword and staff's inherent annihilation ability can break through defenses, while the additional damage from the scorching flames gives Jiang Kehan a real chance to kill a level 6 dragon in a short time.
Well-intentioned.
Jiang Kehan looked at Ye Yu, whose expression was indifferent, and opened her mouth as if to say something, but under his gaze, she obediently continued to refine the potion.
"Tsundere," she muttered, causing Ye Yu to narrow his eyes and look at her with suspicion.
"What did you just say?" Ye Yu asked.
Jiang Kehan pretended to be stupid and looked at Ye Yu, shaking her head with an innocent expression, leaving Ye Yu to stare at her silently with a death stare.
"You rascal," Ye Yu sighed helplessly, saying nothing more, but instead smiled.
Her eyes were somewhat profound, as if she were looking beyond the present moment into the future.
Grow up quickly, Kehan, the future holds more than just storms for you.
If you cannot yet understand your inner desires, you cannot break free from the false constraints and confront the stubborn and aloof self within this era.
There was something Ye Yu never told Jiang Kehan.
This era is also the era in which she became the Great Witch, and naturally, it also has her past.
Unfortunately, Ye Yu had a premonition that after she repeatedly and forcefully suppressed the witch's resentment within the portal, they probably already harbored hatred towards her.
They have even begun to retaliate.
For example, her past, and the witch that Jiang Kehan will have to face in the future, are very likely one of the keys to this historical anomaly.
Ye Yu remained silent, his expression a half-smile, watching Jiang Kehan step into this quagmire. Only after seeing her finish concocting the potion and begin to consume it did Ye Yu close his eyes.
She was quietly awaiting her death.
At this moment, Jiang Kehan was unaware of all this; she was simply feeling the surge of magic and was completely absorbed in it.
Only the three little kittens outside, who could see through her, looked at each other, as if they had discovered something incredible.
But they only vaguely sensed Ye Yu's abnormality, and then fell silent again.
Chapter 318 I Have Never Feared
The potion-making process went very smoothly. With Ye Yu's experience and Jiang Kehan's exquisite control of the AK with one hand, they were as steady as a rock.
However, the process of taking the potion still surprised Jiang Kehan a little.
She looked at the empty test tube, unconsciously squeezed it twice, and tilted her head in confusion, asking.
"Why does this feel unexpectedly uneventful?"
Compared to the near-death experience of taking potions before, this time it was as easy as drinking water. If the spell model hadn't already appeared in her mind, Jiang Kehan would have thought she had made a mistake in the concoction.
“This is normal.” Ye Yu glanced at Jiang Kehan, a very human-like helplessness appearing on his cat-like face.
"Do you think the spell pool of a cult witch is hundreds, or even thousands of times larger than that of a juvenile witch? Is it simply because they are rich?"
Jiang Kehan nodded in agreement. As a poor witch, she always believed that if she didn't have enough magic, it meant she wasn't earning enough money.
Now it was Ye Yu's turn to be speechless. She smacked Jiang Kehan's head with her paw, but not with much force, which made Jiang Kehan chuckle.
"The main reason is that the magic cycle that occurs during the middle witch stage can replace the physical body and even the soul to adapt to the effects of the potion, thus allowing the middle witch to learn spells without any burden."
The essence of potions is to allow witches to passively adapt to a specific "environment," thereby quickly understanding the spell model and being able to use it in the most basic way.
This means that the greater the torment brought by the "environment," the stronger the witch's instincts will drive her to adapt.
But with the magic cycle, things are completely different. Magic is omnipotent, and one can learn and adapt to it within the cycle before gradually passing it on to the witch.
"Therefore, once you enter the mid-witch stage, there is no longer any restriction that you have to take potions every now and then. You can learn as much as you want."
Ye Yu explained, but seeing Jiang Kehan's gradually realizing and even somewhat excited face, she smiled and poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"But correspondingly, the difficulty of the spells that the middle witch needs to learn lies in in-depth study. If you don't understand the principles of the spell, its power may be one or two levels lower."
"For example, the [Etherealization] technique I taught you, if you simply learn it through a potion, you can only be ethereal for a moment at most, but if you understand it well enough, you can even have an invincible state for 1 second."
Jiang Kehan nodded knowingly, then her expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Ye Yu hesitantly and asked.
"Does that mean I'll be facing a lot of courses?"
Witches' spells are usually higher than their own life level, which means that even witches must study them deeply to fully grasp the principles, making it an extremely brain-intensive process.
"Hmph, this is what you deserve." Ye Yu gracefully moved slightly across the long table, then leaped onto Jiang Kehan's shoulder.
"However, the [Burning Flame] spell I'm teaching you is quite special. It's an extremely rare spell that can be fully mastered after taking a potion. Now you know how powerful I am."
Ye Yu said this with a hint of teasing, but her intention was not to let Jiang Kehan know how capable she was.
Instead, he bluntly told Jiang Kehan that having learned [Burning Flame], there was no need to be overly afraid of the so-called level 6 dragon.
Jiang Kehan was somewhat speechless. She shook her head slightly, tidied up the messy floor, then pushed open the door and spoke softly.
"I've always known you're amazing, Sister Ye Yu."
"But I've always been keenly aware that I'm no less than you are, to have earned your favor."
Jiang Kehan was well aware of just how severe the challenges that lay before her were, but she never wavered.
For example, the so-called Level 6 creatures have an even simpler and easier-to-understand alternative name—gods.
"So..." Jiang Kehan glanced out the window before closing the door. By the time she finished refining and consuming the potion, it was already the next day.
This also means that today, she and Blake will explore the realm of the gods and regard them as prey.
"Please trust me a little more, don't worry, I will solve these problems."
Jiang Kehan smiled, walked down the stairs to the first floor, waved to Blake who was holding a hot drink early in the morning, and said this.
Ye Yu quietly watched her and suddenly realized that this witch, whom he didn't know very well, had experienced far more than he had expected.
"I will," Ye Yu whispered to himself, but said nothing on the surface.
Blake, who was drinking, also saw Jiang Kehan and asked her with a relaxed smile.
"Did you sleep well? We won't have many chances to rest soon, so let's enjoy ourselves while we still have time."
As Blake spoke, he took a sip of his drink, as if to prove that what he said was true.
Jiang Kehan smiled and walked over to Blake, but did not sit down.
"Let's wait until we get back to rest. With your experience, do we need to prepare anything extra?"
Blake laughed twice, then downed the drink in his glass, patted Jiang Kehan on the shoulder, and led her out of the tavern.
"No need. The wilderness is our logistics base. Besides, many times, under the power of the gods, no amount of preparation can compare to a burning passion."
Blake shook his head smugly, but the drunkenness in his eyes had long since vanished, replaced by an unbridled sharpness.
She seemed to have thought of something, scratched her head in distress, and asked Jiang Kehan.
"Oh right, your new staff isn't finished yet, is it? How about you lend me some help?"
For witches, the buffs provided by the staff are still quite strong, especially in this era where you can just brute force your way through with magic.
Therefore, Blake naturally assumed that Jiang Kehan's abilities would be limited without a suitable staff.
Jiang Kehan did not refute; she simply nodded in agreement.
"I was just planning to learn from you how to sneak around in the wild and how to explore, so feel free to leave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Blake took out her broom, and then, to Jiang Kehan's astonishment, took out a bottle of mysterious liquid.
Jiang Kehan took a slight sniff and, with her alchemist's instincts, judged that it was a potion with a stimulating effect.
But witches don't need such things, so why did Black bring it out?
Blake opened the vial of potion, then hooked the broom head with her index finger. The broom then acted as if it were a living creature, affectionately rubbing against her finger.
"Haha, isn't my broom behaving well?" she said, sprinkling the medicine onto the broom.
The broom suddenly stiffened, even gleaming in the sunlight, standing perfectly straight!
Jiang Kehan watched this scene in silence, feeling as if something was stuck inside her, but she just couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Chapter 319 If you don't have fun, you'll die.
"What's the name of this medicine?" Jiang Kehan asked, her lips twitching.
"Hmm, this is something I figured out myself using wild materials. I just added whatever was highly nutritious. I call it a masculinity potion. What do you think?"
Blake said smugly.
Jiang Kehan felt as if she had been run over by a train, and seemed to hear a series of "woo-woo-woo~".
She was speechless and could only cover her face as she spoke.
"Pretty good, but how come your broom is alive?"
"Shouldn't a broom be alive?" Upon hearing this, Blake looked at Jiang Kehan, somewhat bewildered, and asked in return.
The two looked at each other and fell silent, seemingly unable to comprehend each other's thought process.
"Sister Ye Yu, Sister Ye Yu! Please explain to me quickly, I feel like I'm an outsider!"
Jiang Kehan appeared calm, but was actually flustered and asked Ye Yu for advice.
"Oh, I thought you knew that." Ye Yu also seemed a little innocent. Seeing that Jiang Kehan looked confident, she didn't say anything more.
"This seemingly living broom actually relies on long-term use and the nurturing of magic to give it sentience and the means to communicate with the witch."
"It's mainly used for exploring the wild. After all, flying with magic can easily disturb prey due to the magical fluctuations, while a broom is different; it is essentially still an inanimate object."
"To extraordinary beings, it might look like a tree leaf falling naturally, very well hidden."
"I see," Jiang Kehan said, feigning composure after hearing Ye Yu's explanation.
"Well, I rarely hunted before, so I don't know much about these things."
