Cursed Immortality

Afterward, Jacob handed the three all those weapons, pills, and potions to sell and sent all the money into his account. At the same time, he offered them 2% profits for their efforts which those three naturally rejected, and he didn't insist either and closed himself off in his workshop.

At this moment, Jacob stood in front of a work table.

On the table was placed a crimson flower, which was none other than the Advance Type-1 Blood Flower.

A small glass bottle filled with ruby-like blood of Extraordinary-Tier-6 White Assassin Parasite Bug's Blood.

Another glass bottle filled with twinkling sand, it was the Advance Type-1 Rainbow Star Dust.

Three gem-like purple orbs shining with nine white dots like stars; three 9-Star Night Salve's Poison Magic Cores.

Finally, a black color Lilly with ghostly blue spikes spread at the edges of its tentacles like flower petals. It was the Nightmare Lilly of Advance Type-1 Rank.

They were all the five ingredients noted in the Ink Recipe Formula of Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array, and Jacob finally collected them.

Without hesitation, Jacob picked up a small silver Cauldron and started to etch nine magic gems into nine engraving between its dark brown magic patterns. The cauldron instantly started to heat up the moment those nine gems were placed in their positions.

This Advance Type-1 Silver Cauldron was a Magic Treasure that used magic energy as a medium to create magic potions or magic pills.

This Silver Cauldron was one of Braylon's prized possessions, which Jacob inherited with his workshop, and it had helped him a lot during these two years of his solitude alchemy training.

Now, this cauldron was also required to make the Ink for Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array before he could move forward with the ritual.

Jacob then took out the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array Design and read the recipe formula, and then, with a solemn expression, he started the process.

First, he opened the glass bottle with the Bug's blood and then picked up a measuring beaker and then poured exactly 100 milliliters in it, and then emptied it into the cauldron.

Jacob then quickly picked up the Rainbow Star Dust bottle and opened it. There were exactly 10 grams in it.

'Pour the Rainbow Star Dust when the black smock starts to rise…' Jacob stared at the cauldron mouth like a hawk while the faint red smock was rising.

He didn't have to wait for long as only ten seconds later, the faint red smock turned black, and Jacob instantly turned it upside down.

The instant the glittering sand fell into the cauldron, sizzling sounds were generated before the black smock suddenly turned like a normal white smock.

Jacob didn't dare to delay the next step, which was to throw a 9-star magic core right after the black smock turned white.

'Now, I need to wait for full 90 seconds before throwing the Blood Flower and another magic core and finally wait another 120 seconds to include the Nightmare Lilly and the final magic core and then seal the Cauldron for 500 seconds!'

Jacob patiently waited before he completed the final two steps right on the clock. The time measurement was the least of his problem with the Star Watch.

Then he sealed the cauldron by simply placing the lid on it and then engraved another magic gem within the lid, and with magic energy, the cauldron was now air sealed, and now he had to wait for another 500 seconds.

The time pass slow as Jacob kept his eye on the shining silver cauldron as it trembled faintly. He won't get nervous about just anything, but this time, he was as nervous as it could get.

Jacob was afraid this cauldron would be blasted apart, which happens in the case of failure. However, this could be avoided by using a higher rank Cauldron like the one he was using right now.

But despite that, Jacob was still nervous because if a blue moon chance anything goes south, he might really go on a rampage. All those materials were too precious to collect in a short time. Especially the Blood Flower, which was the most precious of them all.

However, after the final second ended, and the cauldron stopped trembling, Jacob's tight nerves finally loosened as he quickly detached those magic gems, which was akin to cutting the power supply of the Cauldron.

With great anticipation, Jacob then opened the lid, and a nasty smell suddenly filled with air, but there was no smoke which was usually the sign of success.

When Jacob peered inside, he saw a transparent liquid like clear water inside, and his lips curled up in ecstasy, 'Water-like liquid is the sign of the succession of the Ink creation, and now all is left is the final part!'

Jacob's eye went sharp before he removed the black gloves from his hand, and his short sword appeared in his other hand. The next moment, he made a deep cut in his palm, and then his blood gushed out, and he let it stream into the measuring beaker.

He only retracted his hand when the breaker was 200ml filled and stowed away the sword and took out a white color pill, and cursed it before sprinkling it on his palm wound.

The very next moment, the bleeding was stopped, and the wound was also started to mend.

But Jacob didn't care about it as he knew with that basic type-1 healing pill, the flesh wound would soon mend, and he had far more important things to tend to.

He picked up the beaker, filled his own blood, and poured it all into the transparent liquid.

'The final step is to mix the blood of the person who wants to perform the ritual in the freshly made ink…'

When all the blood fell into the transparent liquid, it started to change color. First, it turned into a ruby color like Jacob's blood, but the next moment, its shade turned deeper and deeper before it was inky black.

This was the complete Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array Ink and ready to be used anytime by the person whose blood was mixed in it!
