Chapter 365 – 「Seven-Colored Eye Fluid」

Just like that, another three days passed.

Within the Midnight Labyrinth, numerous Professionals continued seeking their own Opportunities while battling Phantom Demons and even their own kind.

The chaos outside remained completely unnoticed by those who had already entered the Midnight Labyrinth.

Although many had encountered corpses of Professionals who appeared to have been instantly killed by a Sharp Weapon—clearly not slain by Phantom Demons but by fellow humans—they only suspected internal conflicts and failed to detect Sin’s invasion.

This included the members of Azure Mercury, who also remained unaware.

Over these three days, Su Ming and his party simply continued their journey downward.

Having already reached the Seventh Floor in the first three days, their subsequent progress became remarkably smooth.

By the fourth day, they had traversed two floors in one go, advancing to both the Eighth and Ninth Floors.

Here, they were merely one step away from the Tenth Floor—the deepest level of the Midnight Labyrinth.

Thus, Su Ming’s party halted their journey and settled on the Ninth Floor.

“We still have three days. Let’s search for rare treasures here on the Ninth Floor,” Su Ming declared.

Being just one step above the deepest Tenth Floor, the rare treasures found on the Ninth Floor were undoubtedly the highest grade within the entire Midnight Labyrinth.

Operating here promised the greatest rewards.

Therefore, even before entering the Midnight Labyrinth, Su Ming had vaguely decided to conduct team activities on the Ninth Floor and officially begin collecting rare treasures.

The women naturally had no objections to this.

Immediately, Su Ming’s party commenced formal team operations, spending the next three days scavenging resources throughout the Ninth Floor.

It must be said, the resources on the Ninth Floor were truly astonishing.

Regardless of quantity, the quality of the rare treasures here was worlds apart from those encountered on previous floors.

In just these three short days, Su Ming’s party achieved astounding gains.

They found numerous primary Materials for brewing Top-Grade Alchemy Potions, special metals for forging Top-Grade Alchemy Weapons, and peculiar materials for crafting Top-Grade Alchemy Items.

Additionally, they discovered a variety of rare treasures that could be directly consumed for immediate effects.

The least valuable among these could enter the Third Floor auctions of the Wanbao Auction House, fetching prices around 100,000 Contribution Points.

Precious ones could even sell for hundreds of thousands of Contribution Points, with 700,000 to 800,000 being entirely feasible.

Moreover, Su Ming’s party acquired two treasures over these three days that could potentially fetch over a million Contribution Points.

One was a mineral called Crimson Gilded Crystal.

The other was a liquid named Seven-Colored Eye Fluid.

The former served as one of the primary Materials for forging Rakshasa, the Sub-Divine Artifact ranked second on the weapon leaderboards.

This was a genuine Divine Grade Alchemy Weapon—one of the Sub-Divine Artifacts second only to Divine Artifacts in power. The preciousness of its primary forging Materials was self-evident.Unfortunately, for Su Ming, who already possessed two Divine Artifacts, this item was like tasteless food—unappealing to keep yet a pity to discard. It would either gather dust in his backpack or end up being auctioned off, hardly a significant surprise.

Instead, it was the fluid named Seven-Colored Eye that gave Su Ming a considerable surprise.

This was also a primary material that could be used to forge Divine Grade treasures.

However, what was crafted from the Seven-Colored Eye was not a weapon, but a potion.

There was an alchemical potion called the Seven-Colored Eye Potion, and its primary material was none other than this fluid known as the Seven-Colored Eye.

The reason this raw material was used as the potion’s name was that, in this alchemical formula, the truly rare and invaluable primary material was solely the Seven-Colored Eye. The rest were merely auxiliary materials—not exactly common, but still obtainable in the market for a hefty sum, allowing one to gather them all at the appropriate Rank.

It could be said that acquiring the Seven-Colored Eye was equivalent to securing all the conditions needed to brew the Seven-Colored Eye Potion.

Next, all that was required was to find a skilled Alchemist to assist in the brewing process, and the Divine Grade Seven-Colored Eye Potion could be born.

Of course, to successfully brew a Divine Grade alchemical potion, unless one was a master with exceptional expertise, standing at the pinnacle of Alchemists, the success rate could not be guaranteed.

But Tianfeng City, as humanity’s Holy Land and a paradise for Professionals, naturally had many Great Masters among Alchemists, whose technical prowess was even higher and stronger than Shi Lin, who had previously brewed the Nightmare Species Bloodline Phantom Demon Potion for Su Ming.

Once he got out, Su Ming could ask Xu Xiayan to introduce him to a Great Master among Alchemists and have them help brew the potion.

Although it was uncertain whether the brewing would ultimately succeed, the effects of the Seven-Colored Eye Potion were worth Su Ming’s pursuit.

Seven-Colored Eye Potion: An alchemical potion, Divine Grade, possessing the unique effect of enhancing visual perception. If the consumer is a Hunter, they gain superhuman eyesight, capable of clearly capturing even the movement of an enemy’s muscle tissues and reacting accordingly. If the consumer is a Sorcerer, they gain superhuman Spirit Sense, making everything impossible to conceal.

That’s right, this was an alchemical potion that could be consumed by both Hunters and Sorcerers.

Its effects were extremely potent.

There was once a Hunter who, after consuming it, could see movements from several kilometers away. Even at a distance of several kilometers, they could detect the activity of a single grain of sand. In combat, they relied on their superhuman vision to see through the muscle movements of their opponents. Unless the difference in strength was overwhelming, even an opponent one star Rank higher couldn’t land a single hit on them.

There was once a Sorcerer who, after consuming it, could envelop everything within a range of several kilometers with their Spirit Sense, like a human radar scanning all things. It was said they could even detect the aura of people several kilometers away, and no matter what concealment methods were used, they would ultimately be exposed by this superhuman Spirit Sense, truly leaving nothing hidden.

Such an alchemical potion greatly enhanced one’s combat strength and pushed factors beyond pure power to their limits.

Its value was fully comparable to the famous Dragon Blood Potion, making Su Ming extremely tempted.In order to obtain the Seven-Colored Eye, Su Ming didn’t even bother hiding his abilities, putting on a Dual Professional performance show in front of the girls in the team. Not only did he display his strength as a Hunter, but he also frequently released Spirit Arts during the battle. In the end, it took him only ten seconds to brutally crush to death a Hazardous Species guarding the Seven-Colored Eye that was on the verge of evolution.

Pitifully, this Hazardous Species was just one step away from evolving. Success would have made it a Nightmare Species, while failure would still allow it to become a mutant among Hazardous Species, with strength comparable to a Five-Star Peak-level existence—even stronger than the previous Ghoul. Yet, in Su Ming’s hands, it couldn’t last even ten seconds and was mercilessly trampled to death.

This also allowed the girls of 『Azure Mercury』 to witness Su Ming fighting at full strength for the first time, leaving them speechless for a long, long time.

Perhaps it wasn’t as terrifying as when Su Ming used the power of 【Silver Arm】.

Perhaps it wasn’t as shocking as when Su Ming employed the Advanced Spirit Art 【Vast Karma Brahma Scene】.

But this was a display of sheer, hard strength—a genuine exhibition of his true power, allowing all witnesses to clearly perceive the level Su Ming had currently reached.

In any case, as a Six-Star Professional, Chi Qian felt that even if Su Ming didn’t use the mutated ability of his right hand or the Heaven-defying Advanced Spirit Arts, if she were to face him, her outcome wouldn’t be much better than that of the nearly evolved Hazardous Species.

Thanks to this, when Su Ming returned beaming with joy, carrying the Seven-Colored Eye Fluid, the girls didn’t hesitate to lavish their praises.

“Monster.”

“Freak.”

“Not human.”

“So… so amazing!”

Chi Qian, Mu Yan, and Feng Qing’er couldn’t help but express their thoughts in this manner. Only Tong Xinyao looked at Su Ming with starry eyes, full of admiration.

Such was the magnitude of Su Ming’s gains.

From this, it was evident that the Midnight Labyrinth was indeed a treasure trove. Being invited to enter this time was, for Su Ming, a win no matter how you looked at it—and a massive one at that.

Unfortunately, they never encountered another Heaven-Defying treasure like the Purple Snow Essence.

“That’s right. Coming across a treasure of that level is nothing short of a miracle. Even if this were the Ninth Floor, it’s unlikely that such a treasure would appear here,” Su Ming thought to himself.

Rather, a whole pool of Purple Snow Essence should only appear on the very bottom, the Tenth Floor.

Yet, it appeared on the Sixth Floor, a level that’s neither here nor there, which was truly peculiar.

“No, Purple Snow Essence is a treasure that can only be nurtured in a special environment. Even on the Tenth Floor, without the appropriate conditions and stringent nurturing requirements, such a Heaven-Grade treasure wouldn’t come into existence,” Su Ming quickly realized.

What exactly the special environment for nurturing Purple Snow Essence should be like, Su Ming didn’t know.

But it was easy to imagine that it must be extremely harsh and unique. Otherwise, Purple Snow Essence would have appeared before now, instead of only the inferior Purple Snow Paste being known in the world.

The cave on the Sixth Floor just happened to meet the conditions.

And just because it met the conditions here didn’t mean the Tenth Floor had such an environment or met such requirements.

One thing was certain: the Purple Snow Essence was absolutely priceless among priceless treasures.Probably in this lifetime, Su Ming would only encounter this once, with no possibility of a second time.

“I wonder just how miraculous the effects of this Purple Snow Essence truly are.”

Su Ming even felt tempted to consume the Purple Snow Essence and experience its effects firsthand.

But the description of the Purple Snow Essence’s effects was somewhat vague—it only stated it could break through life’s limitations and possessed incredible effects. As for what these so-called “incredible effects” specifically entailed, he had no idea.

Considering this, Su Ming forcibly restrained himself.

“I don’t want to end up like Hai’er, growing up inexplicably.”

Therefore, Su Ming decided not to take the Purple Snow Essence during the Midnight Labyrinth period, opting instead to research it further after returning before making a decision.

Glancing at the time and then at the women resting in their tents, Su Ming silently acknowledged that the seventh day had arrived.

“It’s time to gather at the tenth floor.”
