Chapter 140 Devil Egg
After leaving the herb garden, Du Yi cast more than a dozen cleansing spells and took a fragrant bath before finally getting rid of the stench in his heart.
Dui then entered the potion room once more.
He was preparing to make another magic potion.
Unlike growth potions, this time he was going to make a black magic potion.
Dui replaced the pot with a silver cauldron, poured in river water collected from the Dark Forest that had been contaminated by dark magic, added a whole crocodile heart, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat.
It lasted for seven days.
At midnight on the seventh day, ten more fertilized eggs were added, and the magic wand was used to stir the mixture 42 times clockwise and then 7 times counterclockwise.
Then, filter out the flocculent material using a pure gold filter screen, and reheat the mixture in a crucible.
Then, drip seven drops of blood from the heart of a giant bat into the mixture, add seven powdered snake fangs, stir counterclockwise thirteen times, and bring to a boil over high heat.
The liquid then turned pale purple.
Dui mashed the mandrake fruit pulp, added it to the potion, stirred it clockwise 9 times, and simmered it over low heat for 9 hours.
Remove the crucible from the fire, add ten drops of giant spider venom, stir counterclockwise ten times, and then place it in a place where it can be exposed to moonlight and let it sit overnight.
The potion had now turned a deep purple.
Then Dui added the brain marrow of the three toads and stirred it three times clockwise and three times counterclockwise.
Finally, on the night of the new moon, seven drops of dragon blood were added. The potion, though not boiled, began to boil and turned into a pot of blood-red potion.
Thus, the Black Magic Potion—the Potion of Childbirth—was born.
As the name suggests, this potion of childbirth can make people give birth, regardless of race or gender. Anyone who drinks the potion will be able to have a child.
But the price is that the offspring will devour everything from the mother, including life, magic, and soul.
The mother dies the moment the offspring detaches from her.
This is why this potion became a dark magic potion; after all, magic that trades one life for another is too evil.
Of course, simply drinking the potion isn't enough; it also needs to be combined with specific celestial events and a magical ritual to take effect.
And this specific astrological period is coming soon.
When the castle was more than half built.
As night fell, an owl flew out from the tower and headed west.
Flying over the town of Buri, it arrived at the ancient tomb complex at Guzhonggang and landed, transforming into human form.
Dui looked at the deathly atmosphere and the lingering dark power around him and nodded in satisfaction.
Many have died here, and it was once corrupted by the evil power of the Angmar Witch King. The atmosphere of resentment and despair lingers, making it an excellent place to perform dark magic rituals, providing natural evil energy for dark magic.
He then looked up at the rising star of Herluin in the distant sky.
The Star of Helluin is a dazzling blue star created by Varda, the Queen of the Stars, for her firstborn daughters, the Elves. It is the first thing the Elves see when they awaken at Lake Queveyen in the north of Middle-earth.
Therefore, this star holds special significance for the elves. It is a witness to the elves' birth and embodies their love for starlight and their reverence for Varda.
Of course, this star, which symbolizes hope and guidance in the eyes of the elves, has another name in another world—Sirius.
In fact, Dui had long noticed that although many things in this world had new names, many of them were very similar to those in their previous lives.
For example, the present-day Middle-earth is actually a sphere, with day and night cycles, seasons, and celestial motion patterns similar to those of Earth.
The reason why Middle-earth became a sphere can be traced back to the time before the island of Númenor sank in the First Age.
At that time, the earth was a flat world, with Middle-earth at its center and endless oceans surrounding its edges.
The land of immortals, Aman, located west of the ocean, has not yet been hidden.
If one travels by boat, one can still reach Valinor.
Until the last king of Númenóre, who was corrupted by Sauron and led a fleet to attack the undead land of Aman, challenging the authority of the Valar.
This blasphemous act angered the Valar, and Manwë, the Valar king, sought help from Ilúvatar, the creator god. Ilúvatar then reshaped the world of Arda, transforming it from a flat world into a sphere, and the island of Númenor was sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Aman is hidden from the visible world and can only be reached by a straight sea route.
Other ships that attempt to sail westward in search of the land of immortality, Aman, will only end up circling back eastward.
Therefore, the world of Arda is actually similar to Earth in the previous life; both are spheres.
The stars in the sky, though they have different names, are exactly the same as the constellations of my previous life and the magical world.
The celestial event Dui was waiting for was when Sirius—Herluin—reached its highest and brightest point in the heavens.
He found a large open space, took out dragon blood and drew a seven-pointed star on the ground, and inscribed black magic runes.
After finishing the magic circle, Dui took out a seven-year-old rooster from his spatial bag and then poured the prepared fertility potion into the rooster's body.
Then place it in the center of the seven-pointed star array.
As Sirius rose high into the night sky, Dui pointed his wand at the seven-pointed star array and chanted a dark magic spell. As the spell took effect, the seven-pointed star, drawn with dragon blood, burst into crimson flames.
The dense evil energy in the surrounding area was drawn into the seven-pointed star formation by a powerful attraction.
The formation's attraction grew stronger, drawing in all the evil forces of Gujiagang and forming a massive black vortex.
The demons sleeping in the ancient house were also awakened by the commotion. Feeling the dark power being continuously drained from their bodies, they immediately became agitated and let out a series of terrified roars.
The dragon blood flames burning on the seven-pointed star were also tainted by evil forces, turning into a blood-red flame that was almost black, carrying a scorching and evil aura.
The moment when Sirius reaches its highest point in the sky and shines its brightest.
Dui then threw the venom of the giant spider, the heart of the ogre, the liver of the orc, the teeth of the dire wolf, the wings of the giant bat, the teeth of the earthworm, and the skull of the troll into the flames at the seven points of the seven-pointed star.
The flames that devoured the parts of these dark creatures soared into the sky, instantly consuming all the evil energy within a radius of dozens of miles around Gujiagang.
The corpse demon in the Gu family was instantly stripped of most of its dark power and could only unwillingly fall back into slumber.
Meanwhile, Herluin (Sirius) in the sky was also drawn by the power of the seven-pointed star array, and its starlight fell from the sky like shooting stars into the array.
The rooster in the center of the formation became very uneasy, clucking and struggling anxiously.
The next second, the power of the stars and the power of darkness seemed to have found a host, continuously pouring into the rooster's body. The power of magic began to erode the rooster's body, forcibly changing its physiological structure.
The rooster struggled painfully, emitting a mournful crow.
As magic continued to be injected, the rooster's egg cells began to develop abnormally. After all the power of the stars and evil forces were absorbed by the rooster...
The flames of the seven-pointed star formation went out suddenly, as if they had run out of fuel.
The surroundings instantly became quiet.
Only the rooster at the center of the seven-pointed star remained, its body showing no signs of being charred, and it became unusually quiet.
Dui stood outside the formation, waiting quietly.
Fifteen minutes later, the rooster raised its head and crowed, then laid a black egg that exuded an eerie aura.
With the laying of eggs, the rooster's life comes to an end.
Dui stepped across the formation and came to the center. He looked at the dead rooster, paused for a moment, and then bent down to pick up the black egg, which was smaller than a regular egg.
Holding it in his hand, Dui felt the immense magical power contained within, a power that combined dark forces and the power of Sirius, carrying an ominous and cursed aura.
The power of Sirius, which originally represented light, protection, and guidance, was transformed into an extremely evil demon egg through a dark magic ritual.
After undergoing a special incubation process, this magical egg will give birth to the most dangerous dark magic creature in the magical world—the basilisk.
The basilisk has a deadly gaze; looking directly into its eyes will result in instant death, and even indirect eye contact (such as through a mirror) will turn it to stone instantly.
The only way to remove the petrification curse is through a recovery potion made from mature mandrake.
In addition, the basilisk's venom is the most deadly poison, and no antidote can cure it except for the tears of the phoenix.
The basilisk also possesses extremely high magic resistance, and most spells cannot harm it.
Moreover, basilisks can live for a very long time; the longer they live, the larger their bodies become, and the stronger their magic becomes.
Its only weakness is its fear of roosters crowing.
Perhaps because it was born from a rooster, the basilisk would flee in panic whenever it heard a rooster crow, and would die if it heard it too often.
Of course, nothing is absolute; as the basilisk gets older, it becomes more resistant to the rooster's crow.
For a basilisk that has lived for thousands of years, the crowing of a rooster no longer poses a threat to its life.
Therefore, even with such weaknesses, the basilisk remains the most dangerous dark magic creature in the magical world.
Many dark wizards attempt to breed basilisks for their own use, but basilisks only obey the commands of Parseltongue, so dark wizards who breed basilisks often become the first targets of the basilisks' attacks.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits wizards from breeding basilisks to prevent the proliferation of these uncontrollable and extremely dangerous dark magic creatures.
Dui carefully put away the magic egg, waved his wand, and buried the dead rooster in the ground.
Then clear away the seven-pointed star formation.
Looking around, thanks to the effect of the seven-pointed star formation, all the evil power on the ancient burial mound was swept away, and even the resentment and despair that had lingered for thousands of years were almost gone.
Even the corpse demon buried deep within the ancient tomb had its dark power drained and fell into a weak slumber.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the day when the Corpse Demon can recover is still a long way off.
Then, Dui used Animagus transformation, turning into an owl, and rushed towards Fengyun Peak under the cover of night.
