Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 853 Purification Potion

After Leona left, the house suddenly became quiet.

Diana looked at the table. She was not good at speaking and couldn't find any topic to talk about for a moment. The room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

"Diana."

"What's wrong, Lee En?"

"I think you are tired too, why don't you go back to the next room..."

"Dong dong dong~!"

The sudden knock on the door made Diana's body tremble.

"Li En, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"Yeah, brother, look, I told you that Li En didn't sleep, but you said that Li En forgot to turn off the lights..."

La Lune's voice came through the door.

Seeing Li En about to stand up, Diana grabbed his hand for some reason.

"What's wrong Diana?"

"Li...Li En, don't let them know I'm here."

Diana said in a low voice. Li En was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Seeing this, Diana, blushing slightly, let go of Li En's hand.

"Click~!"

"It's so late, Laluen, haven't you guys rested yet?"

“My brother and I usually go out at night to hunt evil spirits, so we are not sleepy at all now.

But you, Li En, haven't rested yet!"

"Didn't you teach me the crafting techniques of the 'Moonstone Weapon' during the day? After returning to my room, I got some ideas on how to modify it to better suit my needs. That's why I've been thinking about it until now."

"Li En, you are amazing. You were able to improve my skills so quickly!"

"I'm just trying it. I haven't succeeded yet. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's like this. We just happened to see that Lord Xing Ling and the bishop's mother had just finished their conversation, so we came to inform you, Li En, have you seen Lord Xing Ling?"

"I...I haven't yet. I guess Diana still needs to digest the information, so let's go back to the room and rest."

Feeling the corner of his clothes being pulled from behind, Li En decisively changed his words.

"Is that so...Yes, Master Xingling also needs to take a good rest.

Then we won't disturb you, just have a good rest!"

"Well, you too, take a good rest."

"Click~!"

After watching the projection of Alune and Aphelios disappear around the corner, Li En gently closed the door.

"Thank you."

"Well, by the way, Diana, what do you think about the Aphelios siblings?"

Seeing that Diana was too embarrassed to even look him in the eye, Li En decisively changed the subject.

"Uh... ideas? What ideas?"

"For example, try to improve the potion called 'Essence of Night'."

"this..."

Li En's words immediately made Diana react, and at the same time, a sense of guilt surged in her heart.

"Thank you for reminding me. If you hadn't mentioned that potion, I would have..."

"It's okay, Diana. Everyone has limited energy. You were busy trying to understand the past the moment you arrived at the Bright Moon Sect. It's normal that you can't see the past for a while."

"Besides, didn't I tell you that you could try to trust me?"

Facing Li En's gentle and calm gaze, Diana's mouth corners couldn't help but rise, and a sense of security emerged in her heart that she had never felt before meeting Li En.

"Yeah, I understand Lee En!"

"Well, actually today I not only learned about the skills of 'Moonstone Weapon' from La Lune, but also asked her about the potion 'Essence of Night'.

From the material point of view, apart from all the auxiliary ingredients, whether it is the poison or the large amount of magic power provided by the potion, it all comes from the main ingredient of the potion - 'Night Blooming Flower'."

"I've read about this kind of flower in a book. It only grows under moonlight and blooms underwater. It's extremely poisonous and rare!"

"Yes, to put it bluntly, the power of this flower can be said to come from the 'moon'. As the 'Moon Star Spirit', you may be able to try to manipulate it a little bit, and reduce or even purify the poison while retaining your magic power."

“This way, Aphelios won’t have to suffer from the poison every time he drinks the Essence of Night!”

"Right, that is it."

Li En smiled and nodded, then he flipped his hand and a thumb-sized glass bottle appeared in his palm.

"Li En, this is..."

“I asked Aphelios for the Essence of Night during the day. I had cured him of poisoning before, so when I said I wanted to try to improve it, they readily gave it to me.”

"Give it a try Diana."

Li En said as he handed the glass bottle in his palm to Diana.

Gazing at Li En's dark and peaceful eyes, Diana felt a strange feeling of being cared for.

Although Li En did not say the second half of the sentence, Diana already understood it.

Li En asked for the "Essence of Night" in his own name, but gave this experiment to himself. The meaning is self-evident - if it succeeds, it will be Diana's, and if it fails, it will be his.

Being able to easily cure Aphelios' poisoning, Diana didn't believe that Li En had no way to deal with the potion like the 'Essence of Night'.

"Are you giving me this opportunity so that I can integrate into the sect faster?"

Thinking of the meaning behind Li En's action, Diana took the potion.

"I will purify these toxins!"

"Well, I believe you."

Nodding seriously at Li En, Diana's eyes fell on the potion in her hand.

Looking through the transparent glass, one can clearly see the dark liquid in the bottle, which looks like the essence squeezed out from the purest darkness.

'No wonder it's called 'Essence of Night'.'

Diana calmed the distracting thoughts in her mind, and the next moment.

"Om~!"

The bright and pure 'power of the stars' rose up, passed through the transparent glass bottle, and rose towards the potion inside.

Li En stood there quietly, watching Diana purify the potion silently.

As time passed, gradually, tiny stars appeared in the pure black liquid.

"Om~!"

The 'power of the stars' continued to flow in, and the starlight in the liquid became more and more. Finally, the whole bottle of black liquid turned into a moon-white liquid with flashes of light, as if the illusory moonlight falling from the sky was received into the bottle.

"Hoo~!"

"Diana, you can do it!"

"Yeah...it was Li En who reminded me of this."

"Well, take the potion and go back to rest. I'll give it to them tomorrow. You know the room is next door, right?"

"Well, I know."

...

"Click~!"

After coming out of Li En's room, Diana subconsciously looked around, then quickly walked to the door beside her, opened it and went in.

"Click~!"

The door was closed and the Bright Moon Sect was silent in the middle of the night.

And at the corner, a faint blue illusory skirt flashed by.
