Jielan felt like his internal organs were on fire, severe pain spread all over his limbs, and all his muscles were twisted, like a live fish thrown into hot oil for frying. He could not breathe, and his whole body was filled with unbearable pain.
Gradually, the struggling Jielan calmed down. It seemed to have no strength and collapsed on the ground. Only its eyeballs could move around its body. Under the pale skin, blue and black blood vessels protruded and quickly turned blood red. From its violent ups and downs You can roughly feel its current pain on its chest.
After nearly half an hour, the bulging red blood vessels returned to their previous blue-black color and retracted into Jielan's body. It was slowly able to move. The powerful power returned, and the light filled his eyes again.
"Half an hour...unable to move...extreme pain...not life-threatening..."
During this half hour, Mawei patiently observed Jielan's reaction and recorded all the symptoms.
As introduced in the "Compendium of Magic Potion Formulas", the high-grade magic potion mercury blood can only make extraordinary races temporarily lose their strength and ability to move. Rather than being a toxin, the effect is more like a kind of 'disruption agent', forcibly Let the connection between supernatural power and physical body be severed.
While Jielan was unable to move, Mawei even cut his skin with a knife and found that the wound could not heal, as if he had lost the powerful healing ability of the vampires.
"Father..." Jielan got up from the ground and said with a faint breath: "I feel like my body is bound by something, and I can't move... This magic potion can really make me Return to a normal human body?"
"I'm afraid not."
Ma Wei shook his head: "Mercury blood can only block the relationship between extraordinary power and the body, and it cannot make you become a normal human being. If you were a normal human just now, how could you survive without your heart?" What about half an hour?”
The hearts of Jielan and Louise were taken away by Edward long ago. They are also the only second-generation vampires whose hearts were taken away. As a price, Edward gave them his blood, and they gained more powerful power than other second-generation vampires. Power, but lost the human heart.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Wei concluded that mercury blood can only block power and cannot turn Jielan into a normal human being.
Jielan is a special case, and the test results cannot be completely based on it. Only through multiple sample tests can we get an average value. However, the only second-generation vampires who lost their hearts are Jielan and Louise. The test results of other second-generation vampires may not be consistent. Applies to Louise.
This is indeed a difficult problem....
Without enough experimental subjects, Ma Wei could not guarantee the accuracy of the test results. Many drugs could be taken by adult men, but not by pregnant women.
"You just took an earful of mercury blood potion in one breath, and the effect seems to be too strong..." Ma Wei said thoughtfully: "Can you still persist?"
Jielan shuddered slightly. The pain just now still remained in his body, like a dream demon. If he could, he would never want to do it again.
But....
Jie Lan took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I can persist, Father."
For the sake of his wife and his unborn child, Jie Lan made his own decision.
After the effect of the mercury blood wore off, the vampire's powerful innate power quickly repaired Jielan's damaged body. There was no need to worry about the sequelae, but the pain was unavoidable.
For an extraordinary race, taking mercury blood is no different from being tortured.
Back in the underground darkroom, Ma Wei took one-tenth of the ear-level mercury blood, put it in a test tube, and handed it to Jielan.
Looking at the red liquid in the test tube, Jielan swallowed, closed his eyes, and drank it all.
Pacha!
The muscles suddenly tightened, and the moment severe pain appeared, Jielan subconsciously crushed the test tube in his hand. Sweat instantly appeared, his lips trembled, and blue-black blood vessels appeared on the surface of the body without turning blood red.
When the skin is cut, the wound is repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, a little slower than normal, but not much.
It was clear that the dose Jelan had taken was too small to cut off the power.
Half an hour later, when the effect of the mercury blood faded, Ma Wei took another fifth of the mercury blood from the graphite crucible up to his ears and handed it to Jie Lan, who was pale and had just recovered.
Jielan took it with trembling palms, pointed his lips at the test tube, and drank the red potion bit by bit.
Pacha!
Another half hour....
Pacha!
"continue."
Pacha!
The test tube was smashed to pieces, and Jielan fell to the ground again. The same symptoms and pain suddenly hit him. He pinched his neck, curled up like a cooked prawn, opened his mouth wide, and twisted and struggled silently.
This time, Ma Wei used two-thirds of the dose reaching the ears, which was beyond the upper limit of what Jielan could bear.
The dose is too much...
Dusk sank into the sky and night fell. In the dark underground chamber, Ma Wei looked at Jielan who was lying on the ground writhing in pain, his face tense and silent.
Even with such a strong mentality, he could not bear to torture his companions over and over again, even though he knew that mercury blood could not kill Jielan.
Seeing Jie Lan's painful and slightly pleading eyes after recovery, Ma Wei still handed over the test tube in his hand. He couldn't bear it, but he also knew that he couldn't give up at this moment.
This time, Jielan, who had taken the blood of mercury, did not break the test tube. He endured the pain and held on to the table, insisting on not falling down. It was not because he had developed drug resistance, but because of the dose he took this time. Not enough to completely incapacitate it.
The bright red and bulging blood vessels appeared again. Jielan gasped for air and sat unsteadily on the chair. While enduring the severe pain in his body, he took the dagger handed by Ma Wei and held it in his palm. Make a wound.
The blood flowed out gurglingly, but the wound did not heal. This proved that the mercury blood had worked and successfully blocked the connection between the extraordinary power and the body. However, the dose was not enough, causing Jielan to fall into an extremely delicate state of balance and be able to move. , lost strength again.
Seeing this scene, Ma Wei's eyes lit up and he quickly recorded the symptoms. In this experiment... he only used three-quarters of the ear-level mercury blood!
Three-quarters of it reaches the ears!
37ml!
Ma Wei found that he had underestimated the power of mercury blood. This advanced magic potion made from soul obsidian, hearttail grass and white aphid resin can make extraordinary races lose their power with just a small dose!
How much is 37ml?
Roughly equivalent to a sip of water.
Such a powerful next-generation vampire can be restrained by only 37 ml of mercury blood...
The power of the potion was far beyond Ma Wei's imagination.
Magic is important, but potions... must not be underestimated!
"God...Father..."
On the chair, Jie Lan struggled to look at Ma Wei and asked, "Did the experiment succeed?"
"Yes, it worked." Ma Wei nodded lightly: "Based on your situation, taking 37 ml of mercury blood is most suitable, and Louise should be about the same."
When giving power to Ceylan and Louise, Edward was definitely not biased. Ceylan and Louise with equal powers would have no problem taking the same dose of potion.
"Can the blood of mercury... make my and Louise's child turn into a human?" Jielan asked with hopeful eyes.
Ma Wei thought for a long time and said seriously: "I'm not sure."
There was no deception or white lies. Ma Wei truthfully stated his speculation: "The blood of mercury can block the innate power of the vampire, causing the vampire to temporarily possess the characteristics of the human body, making it fragile and easy to kill."
"Under this premise, no one knows what will happen to Louise after taking mercury blood. She has been pregnant for a long time. If she can take this opportunity to give birth, it would not be a bad thing."
"As for the child born..."
After pouting, Ma Wei continued: "I don't know if it's a vampire or a human."
Louise was already nine months pregnant. She was pregnant a year ago. She showed no signs of giving birth for a whole year. Will the baby she gave birth to be a normal human being?
Definitely not possible.
Mavitt asked Buggy about Louise. Buggy was a little surprised when she heard about it, because no one had ever done this before. There was no precedent for whether it could be successful, and she didn't know.
So Ma Wei could only cross the river by feeling the stones and try his best.
"The blood of the vampires has been completely integrated with the baby. Forcibly depriving it will only cause the baby to die." Edward suddenly said: "This is a normal situation. I am not sure whether the mercury blood has any effect, but Jie Lan, you You have to be mentally prepared.”
"Louis and I have been prepared for a long time."
Jielan smiled reluctantly:
"Maybe this is our destiny. No matter what, I want to give it a try and give our unborn child a chance to choose."
