"Lord, you...?" Musa exclaimed in shock. In her eyes, the Lord was such a proud person, now calling a man Master! Even the female guide from the Blood Clan was overwhelmed with surprise.

Charlotte, however, was indifferent and calmly said, "You don't need to concern yourself with anything else, just assist the Master in improving the Blood Angel."

After saying this, she did not explain further and instead opened the box. Upon opening, Lin Tian saw that inside was an alchemical cauldron.

"Master, judging by your expression, it seems I've brought the right one. I acquired this cauldron by chance; it's reportedly used by Huaxia Fangshi and Pharmacists to refine elixirs. However, there are no Pharmacists in the West, so it had never been utilized." Charlotte commented upon noticing Lin Tian's surprised expression.

Lin Tian pulled out the cauldron with one hand and placed it on the ground with a thud. It was quite heavy. He circled around the cauldron, carefully examining its structure.

Shaking his head, Lin Tian sighed, "There's a gap compared to that cauldron. Sadly, I didn't bring it along."

"Is Brother Tian referring to the cauldron gifted by Langde?" Rossi asked. Mentioning Langde seemed to displease Ai Wei.

"Yes, that cauldron has some history and is much better than this one, but it was left at Asina's bar back then." Lin Tian expressed regret, likening a Pharmacist losing a good cauldron to a swordsman missing out on a peerless sword.

"Asina?" Charlotte softly repeated, then smiled and said, "Apparently, the Master went through great efforts to save the Beautiful Sky Master. If there's a chance, I'll help you retrieve it."

"No need, I'll personally retrieve it, and I'll also present you with a grand gift." Lin Tian replied with a mysterious smile.

Charlotte hadn't expected Lin Tian to say this, paused for a moment, and instinctively asked, "What grand gift?"

"You'll know when the time comes. For now, let's talk about elixir-making." Lin Tian teased.

"Lord, are we really going to refine the Blood Angel?" Musa asked.

Charlotte corrected, "To be exact, it's to improve the Blood Angel. There's no need to doubt the Master's and Heavenly Master's abilities; start preparing the materials quickly."

Musa glanced at Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu, said nothing, and went away to assign tasks. Charlotte took Lin Tian on a tour and finally arrived at the laboratory.

This laboratory is much better than Langde's and on par with the Xiao Family's, although the Xiao Family has Nuwa, a supercomputer with artificial intelligence, giving them an edge in advanced technology.

Of course, Charlotte, with her financial resources, could build a supercomputer on the island, but the Blood Clan there lacks computing expertise, making them slightly less advanced in this regard.

Nonetheless, this is an alchemist's lab without intelligent assistance, which makes sense; after all, ancient alchemists became masters without the aid of artificial intelligence.

"Lord, the materials are ready," Musa reported, stepping out from the inner room of the laboratory.

Charlotte nodded and said to Lin Tian, "Master, please."

Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu exchanged a glance and proceeded inside, followed by others into the adjoining room.

This was a private room with only one entrance, no windows but ventilated—perhaps Musa's usual research area, designed to minimize external influences. Like Pharmacists, alchemists need complete focus when conducting research.

On a white experiment table were boxes and transparent bottles filled with precious materials. Lin Tian counted them; there were twenty-four types, and one bottle caught his attention.

Inside the transparent glass bottle was a red liquid, and Lin Tian detected a familiar scent. It was zombie blood.

Musa remained silent, watching Lin Tian, eager to see how he would proceed. Lin Tian did not rush but asked Charlotte, "Where did the zombie blood come from?"

"It was given by Houqing, the Zombie Ancestor. For him, zombie blood is the most ordinary thing." Charlotte replied.

Lin Tian nodded, agreeing with Charlotte's statement. Houqing wouldn't give his blood to the Lady Lord, but he could easily create a zombie and extract as much blood as needed.

"Lord, this is the last bottle of zombie blood. A lot was wasted during the original creation of the Blood Angel, so use it sparingly," Musa cautioned, implicitly doubting Lin Tian's skills, fearing he might waste materials.

Everyone familiar with Lin Tian laughed; everyone knew Lin Tian was a zombie, and he had his own source of zombie blood, which puzzled Musa.

Ignoring her expression, Lin Tian said to Rossi, "Place the cauldron on the experiment table."

Rossi obeyed, set up the cauldron, then quietly stepped aside. Among everyone there, Rossi had the most confidence in Lin Tian. He had followed Lin Tian closely and knew his capabilities.

Everyone else also moved aside, allowing Lin Tian space. Zhang Lingyu stayed behind, puzzled, asking, "Lin Tian, I'm not a Pharmacist, how can I assist you?"

"The main ingredient for Blood Angel is zombie blood, and the reason for its self-destructive nature lies in the zombie blood. Zombie blood contains a factor of bloodthirsty violence. When a Pharmacist refines the elixir, this factor enters the final Blood Angel product. Humans or Blood Clan consuming this Blood Angel will be influenced by these violent factors, leading to a loss of rationality. That's the fundamental reason for the Blood Angel's explosive effect," Lin Tian explained comprehensively, his understanding of zombie blood exceeding anyone else present, including the Blood Clan. Zhang Lingyu nodded repeatedly, clearly agreeing with Lin Tian's explanation but refraining from interrupting his train of thought, knowing Lin Tian had more to say.

As expected, Lin Tian paused briefly before continuing, "These violent factors cannot be seen or touched, so relying solely on medicinal ingredients to neutralize them is unlikely to achieve the desired results. Therefore, I need to utilize Taoist techniques."

Everyone was bewildered, except Zhang Lingyu, who furrowed her brow, seeming to grasp part of the explanation but not entirely.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and tried to elaborate further, "Whether it's human blood or zombie blood, it carries one's spiritual will—spiritual imprint, if you will. Ordinary individuals have weak spiritual will, rendering the imprint almost negligible. Zombies, however, possess spiritual strength multiple times greater than average, making the spiritual imprint in zombie blood very noticeable."

"Zombies largely have a bloodthirsty, violent spiritual world, and the left-over imprint carries these characteristics, which is why zombie blood includes violent factors—that's one cause," Lin Tian explained.

"What's the second cause?" Zhang Lingyu noticed Lin Tian's last sentence and couldn't help but ask.
