Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Sleeping Potion (Thanks to the great Alliance Hierarch) Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Sleeping Potion (Thanks to the great Alliance Hierarch) “Do any of you have a potion that can help recover spiritual power?
Lend it to first.”
At this mont, ditating on the spot is definitely impractical, so Ronan inquired the people nearby if they had the relevant magic potion.
Old Wells and others shook their heads.
Middle-aged wizard Barry said he could ask the accompanying wizards for Ronan.
Barry walked into the crowd, and Ronan watched him ask soone after another.
The response was mostly head shaking.
There were also faint complaints rising.
“Weren’t we agreed to be paid after reaching the town?
Why are they asking for benefits now?”
In the end, Wizard Barry ca back with a helpless face, the result was naturally nothing gained.
Ronan wasn’t disappointed either, he was just trying his luck.
Spiritual Power Recovery Potions are roughly the sa price as Concentration Potions, how could the lower-level wizards living in the Tree House District possibly have it?
Even if they did, it wasn’t certain they would be willing to give it up, even though Ronan had particularly instructed Barry to say he was buying with money, not asking for a free favor.
“Forget it, let’s go.”
Ronan thought to just drop it and called everyone to continue on the road.
However, just as they were about to leave, a weak voice rang in his ear.
“Is..
is any potion that can help recover spiritual power okay?”
Ronan was startled, and quickly looked toward the source of the voice, only to find that the speaker was actually Barry’s son, the young second-level apprentice wizard standing in front of him, not daring to breathe heavily.
“Do you have it?
Bring it out for to see.”
Ronan quickly spoke up, rembering that Barry had introduced before, his son’s na was Shaun.
“He doesn’t have shit!”
Before Shaun could speak, Barry was already anxious, staring at Shaun and shouting, “Have you ever seen a Rejuvenation Potion?
Do you know how many Magic Stones a bottle of Rejuvenation Potion costs?
How dare you talk nonsense like this?!”
“I definitely don’t have a Rejuvenation Potion, but I have one I made myself!
The effect is almost the sa..”
Shaun rebutted with dissatisfaction, and directly took out four or five potion bottles from his waist pouch.
Ronan was quite surprised and asked Shaun, “You’re actually a pharmacist, too?”
Shaun smiled sheepishly, but Barry looked helpless, “What pharmacist is he?
He just sses around with Magic Potion Books bought from street stalls, not nearly as devoted as he is to ditation…
sigh…”
Ronan didn’t pick up on Barry’s complaint but took a close look at the potion Shaun handed over.
Inside the poor-quality crystal bottle was a full grey potion, with evident black sedints that made Ronan hesitate.
“Are you sure it has the effect of recovering spiritual power?”
Ronan looked at Shaun.
Shaun patted his chest in assurance, “Of course, I’ve drunk it myself, more than once.
Just a bottle, and it can refill all my spiritual power…
Just that…”
As Shaun spoke towards the end, his speech beca hesitant, “There are so small side effects.”
It would be unreasonable if there were no side effects.
Ronan wasn’t surprised and asked what the side effects were.
“Drowsiness…
After drinking it, you’ll imdiately feel drowsy…”
Drowsiness?
Ronan frowned, “How long does one typically sleep after taking the potion?”
“Half an hour.”
Shaun replied without hesitation, then got a hard smack on the head from Barry beside him, “Sleep for half an hour after one dose?
What kind of Spiritual Power Recovery Potion is that?
Sounds more like a Knockout Drug!”
Shaun yelled holding his head, “That’s why I nad it the Sleeping Potion!”
“…..”
Everyone present was quite speechless, but Ronan was looking at the potion in his hand deep in thought.
“Is the sleeping ti always half an hour?”
“Not necessarily, sotis it only lasts for twenty minutes.”
“Have you drunk this yourself?”
“Yes..
Yes, I have.”
Shaun glanced nervously at Barry while speaking.
After Ronan asked Shaun a few questions, he thought for a mont, directly twisted open the bottle, poured a little into his mouth to taste it, and then downed the whole bottle in one go.
Those around him were greatly surprised, but it was too late to stop him; they could only stare wide-eyed, watching closely for Ronan’s reaction.
The effect of the Potion was swift.
Just as Shaun had described, Ronan soon began to feel sleepy.
The heavy drowsiness surged like a tide, with him yawning one after another, his eyelids drooping continuously.
One mont, two monts, three monts…
“Whoosh—”
Ronan suddenly woke up, as if he had just napped briefly during a sumrti afternoon class, feeling an indescribable sense of clarity.
“How long was I asleep?”
Ronan asked the people around him; Old Wells took out a brass pocket watch to check and hesitated, “Half a minute?…
Maybe even less.”
“Tch.”
Ronan’s eyes lit up with excitent on his face.
Just as he had guessed, the sleep-inducing side effect of the Sleeping Potion indeed varied from person to person.
While the small and lean Shaun slept for half an hour, his robust build ant he only dozed off for half a minute after having one bottle.
As for the spiritual power recovery effect…
it was indeed very good; Ronan’s spiritual power, which was only half-filled, was almost completely replenished.
“Very good, this Potion is really useful for !”
Ronan patted Shaun’s shoulder quite satisfied and casually took out two low-level magic stones from his pouch, intending to buy all the Sleeping Potions Shaun had brought out.
In fact, Shaun’s “Sleeping Potion” was not as miraculous as others thought.
Simply put, it used dicines to induce a state similar to deep sleep, thereby helping to quickly replenish energy.
It had no comparison to a Rejuvenation Potion that could assist in recovery while casting during battle.
But under the current circumstances, and used on soone with a strong constitution like Ronan, it turned out to be unexpectedly appropriate.
Ronan said a few words of encouragent to Shaun, then signaled for everyone to keep moving.
The two magic stones he gave were forcibly returned by Barry, and Shaun himself didn’t mind at all.
By comparison, the fact that he was able to help Ronan and gain the respect of those around him made him feel extrely joyful and excited.
Shaun’s eyes clearly shone brighter, and he beca more confident, even Barry seed to have improved his attitude towards his own son significantly.
The group marched mightily towards the town and, unexpectedly, the journey was smooth.
Except for encountering a few unseeing Wizards who would rob travelers, who, after one glance at their sizable group, changed their expressions and ran off quickly, there were essentially no troubles.
Seeing that there were only about ten minutes of journey before they could completely exit the forest, the team slowly beca restless.
Many people whispered to each other as they walked, casting side glances at Ronan, and so even drifted increasingly off-track, sneaking off, as if they would leave the group at any second, darting into the little woods beside…
Ronan watched coldly, with no expression on his face.
He had anticipated this situation.
When life safety seed guaranteed and fear subsided, surely soone would start to fret over the four magic stones protection fee.
What did he do to deserve our four magic stones?
If I knew we’d be this lucky, not facing any dangers, I wouldn’t have agreed to pay any protection fee!
Ronan was well aware of these guys’ inner thoughts at this mont; he didn’t bother to argue, nor could he cope with it.
But Wizard Barry beside him seed very anxiously trying to say sothing to Ronan, stopping short several tis.
As they continued to walk a little further, finally soone couldn’t hold back and deliberately slowed down, or rustled towards the bushes next to them…
Just when this temporary escapee group was about to disband in the next second, at that mont…
“Roar!”
A roar of an unusual beast suddenly erupted from the direction straight ahead, startling everyone in the group with a severe tremble in their hearts.
…
Thank you to the generous Alliance Hierarch, thank you~
