Chapter 348: 78th [Bonus]


    ?


    Ss could practically feel his body healing, but that wasn''t all. His used-up Aether was replenishing as well, and as though all of that wasn''t enough, he also felt himself get stronger.


    It was as though he had just ingested a miracle drug capable of doing anything. But the underlying fact of the matter was quite simple.


    This Permanent Temte was able to take the essence of a beast and distill it all down into a single pill, all while keeping much of its strongest aspects.


    ''Hm?''


    Ss realized that there was something wrong and he immediately began to dispel the Aether that he was umting. This change dampened his mood a bit, but it also helped him to clear the fog of pleasure that was covering his mind.


    The Aether that was being replenished just now was of an attribute that wasn''tpatible with his Ice-Poison Aether. As such, after it reached a certain threshold, it actually began to make him feel more ufortable than not.


    The Aether he replenished wasn''t so convenient, unfortunately. It seemed that the attribute came from the beast in question.


    Ss could only sigh at this realization. His own Aether attribute should probably be quite rare. The odds of finding more Ice-Poison beasts to make use of were difficult.


    ''I should also check with the Madness Key to see if there are any ill effects of these pills as well. If they''re anything like Elixirs, it''ll be a problem.''


    It seemed that good news and bad news came in pairs.


    Although Ss wasn''t able to maximize the use of these beasts in particr, the Madness Key confirmed that there were no drawbacks to be aware of aside from consuming too many at once or consuming a beast that was too powerful.


    The power of these pills concentrated the entire essence of a beast, so if the current Ss absorbed a beast with a Silver Gene, he would probably explode.


    However, so long as the pill was within a certain range, he could benefit from healing and a stamina boost all at once. And, if the Aether waspatible with him, then he could even replenish his Aether at the same time.


    There were reasons why this wasn''t moremon, though.


    Firstly, the methods were far too rare. Not just the Permanent Temte, or even normal Temtes, but Professions capable of this as well.


    Second, they were perishable, much like the beasts they were formed from, unlike Elixirs. As such, selling them required the pills to be held in spatial devices. This made it more difficult to do on arge scale, especially since most people wouldn''t even have spatial devices to begin with.


    Third, what Ss hadn''t noticed because it had started toe naturally to him was that it took a level of control over your body that wasn''tmon.


    Such arge amount of energy entering your body all at once in such a readily avable form could easily overwhelm someone who wasn''t ready.


    When Ss had ingested his, he had subconsciously begun to control his body because of two reasons: his experience with Extricate and his focus on maximizing his body control.


    Extricate yed the farrger role in this case, and thatprehension of where his Genes were present in his body and how they spread allowed him to direct the energy of the pills without harming himself.


    However, without the experience that woulde from Silver Genes, if Ss tried the same -even if his body grew much more powerful-he would fail. There was a certain level of Gene Comprehension that was necessary in order to use these pills.


    This was especially so if you were absorbing a Transmutated pill that had an attribute other than your own. That was when it was of the utmost danger.


    That left the fourth and most important point: Time.


    The pills had a lot of readily avable energy, but that was part of the problem... there was a lot of readily avable energy. In battle, if you consumed one, your entire body would be upied with handling it. If you moved, tried to circte your Aether, or anything of the sort, then you would disrupt the process and potentially even lead yourself down a path of bacsh.


    Elixirs, byparison, were more easily consumable and gave far gentler effects over a longer period of time and wouldn''t necessarily impede you inbat.


    As such, Transmutated Pills were mostly used for training purposes or for a quick buff between battles. But Ss didn''t mind it. That was exactly what he needed it for as well.


    He was already having trouble keeping up with his nutrition and sleep properly. At the very least, this would fix one of his issues and help him to improve much faster.


    If he paired a State of Wealth with his intense body control training and sprinkled some of these Transmutated Pills on top, he would be able to quickly break free of his Stat Limits. This should also work for his Mental stats as well. It was just unfortunate that he didn''t yet have a method of training his mind as effectively, but he would be sure to find one as quickly as possible.


    This aside, Ss already felt that he was back up to more than 50% after ingesting one dud pill and one Common one.


    He injected the wasted Aether into a second round and finally managed to form a second Common Transmutated Pill. Only then was he back up to over 90%.


    Feeling that he had spent enough time on this, Ss began to spin again. But this time, it was even more worrying. He went over 50 spins, then over 60, then over 70, but he still didn''t get


    anything.


    It wasn''t until over 50 spins from hisst cash-in that he managed to get a roll of something.


    His 78th spin.
