Chapter 3135: Smart Array Formation

Location: Myriad Realms, Azorheim, Temporal Cave Valley, Temporal Cave No. ES3030

Yep, Silver Milk would help most of the mortal clients finally become Card Apprentices, but that alone wouldn’t solve the underlying problem for some of them. Many of them had health issues or were simply too old, they would still need additional care. Fortunately, that was nothing a right elixir couldn’t solve.

I immediately contacted Henricks, who was still waiting outside the cave, and asked him to go fetch enough Silver Milk from the D-rank Silver Beach Dungeon, along with a couple thousand Bronze Grimoires.

I had no intention of merely using Silver Milk to push these old humans past the ten-percent active soul energy bottleneck and calling it a day. I wanted to use the knowledge I had just acquired to create a Silver Milk elixir specifically suited for them.

The elixir would not only help them break through the ten-percent active soul percentage bottleneck, effectively raising their average lifespan to around 150 years, but would also restore their physical health to something closer to what they had possessed during middle age.

That distinction was important.

Someone who became a Card Student while young had their entire body gradually strengthened alongside their spiritual growth. Their increased lifespan and cultivation were accompanied by a stronger constitution, greater stamina, and a body capable of supporting their extended existence.

Someone who became a Card Student in old age didn’t have that luxury.

Their spiritual body would be rejuvenated. Their lifespan would be extended. But their physical body had still spent decades aging, the toll would still be there.

Years of wear and tear along with health issues had accumulated in their organs, muscles, bones, and every other part of their body. Becoming a Card Apprentice wouldn’t magically erase all of that damage. They might gain a few more decades to live, yet still have the body of an elderly person through out it.

That wasn’t good enough.

If I was going to extend someone’s life, I wanted those additional years to actually be worth living.

So the Silver Milk Elixir I was planning to develop would not only serve as the foundation, allowing them to cross the bottleneck and become Card Apprentices, but also would repair their body to match their newly extended lifespan.

They didn’t merely need more time. They needed the vitality to make good use of it. I planned to provide them both with my Silver Milk Elixir.

Developing the Silver Milk Elixir itself was surprisingly easy once I dilute the poison contained within it without compromising its beneficial properties.

The real problem was that I wasn’t trying to create a cure-all.

I needed an elixir that could adapt to the individual.

Every mortal had accumulated different ailments over the course of their life. Some had weakened organs, others had damaged muscles and bones, while some carried illnesses that had become deeply rooted after decades of neglect. Creating a single formulation that could safely address all of them would either make the elixir ridiculously complicated or force me to use an excessive amount of ingredients.

Neither was ideal.

So instead of creating one perfect elixir, I created something that could create them.

What I came up with was an array formation.

It wasn’t a mass-production array in the conventional sense. It was a smart array formation capable of producing different versions of the Silver Milk Elixir depending on the information fed into it. Simply input the patient’s requirements, and the array would determine the appropriate formulation. Alternatively, I could provide an existing recipe and have it reproduce that version directly.

Hive Spirit and I spent considerable time refining the array’s logic, ensuring it could account for different physical conditions, ailments, ages, and even the varying requirements of different races.

I could have simply ordered my clones, with Hive Spirit’s assistance, to develop the appropriate version of the Silver Milk Elixir for every client individually.

That would have been faster.

But I was thinking long-term.

I planned to deploy this array formation throughout my territory, placing one in every major hospital so that all my citizens could benefit from it. Once implemented, doctors wouldn’t need to wait for some card creationist to personally develop an elixir card that can be used for every patient. They could simply input the patient’s condition and requirements and let the array produce the appropriate formulation.

Of course, thinking about it that way made me realize something else.

Some of these clients were spending precious merits to obtain something that, sooner or later, every citizen would be able to obtain with money.

That didn’t seem particularly fair.

So I decided to rebate most of the merits they had spent.

I would simply consider it a reward for bringing the problem to my attention.

Once Hive Spirit and I finalized the array formation, I procured the required ingredients through the Inter-Realm Network. I then began setting everything up in a separate section of the cave, away from my main workspace.

The arrangement needed to be accessible to my clones, allowing them to operate the array and produce whatever formulations were required without disturbing my own research.

With that done, I could finally leave the repetitive work to my clones and Hive Spirit while I returned to the more interesting part of the project.

By the time array formation was set up, Henricks had returned with Silver milk and more than enough bronze grimoires, just in time for me to start my testing phase. Stocking up enough quantity of all the ingredients, I began the testing phase.

After a chain of consecutive successful trials without a single failure, I stopped the trial and handed the Bronze Grimoires over to my clones, leaving them to get to work on the remaining mortal clients.

I turned my attention to the rest of the batch, all of whom were already Card Apprentices.

As much as I would have liked to personally witness the joy on the faces of my mortal clients when they finally became Card Apprentices, I stuck to the schedule.

There would be plenty of time to hear about their reactions later or I could just go through the memories of my clones.

For now, I had thousands of other people waiting for me.
