Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Successful Refinent; Sudden Task
“Might as well admit a failure in the mixture directly!” thought Lucien, but he quickly took out another set of materials from his Space Ring.
“Here we go again!” Lucien handled the blue ring mushrooms again and quickly repeated the previous steps.
This ti, Lucien paid extra attention to the mistakes he had made before, and his handling of spiritual power was more ticulous and detailed.
Soon, the active components of the two materials in the crucible began to blend. When the mixture reached a certain level, it seed that the quantitative change had triggered a qualitative change. As a burst of bubbles gurgled up, the originally distinct layers of liquid quickly rged.
Fire! Lucien quickly adjusted the alchemy wizard formation responsible for providing the fla, making the originally moderate wizard formation spit out a gold-white fla.
Gurgle gurgle… The potion began to boil rapidly while steam kept erging.
The final step!
Lucien picked up a healing herb, tore it slightly by hand, and then threw it into the crucible.
…
“Success.” After waiting for the crucible to cool down, Lucien looked at the now properly layered potion inside the crucible and couldn’t help but smile.
He carefully separated the top layer of dark green potion and poured it into a test tube specifically used for storing finished potions.
“Close to 1.2 standard units,” Lucien’s lips slightly curled up.
“Identify!” After calming himself down for a mont, he spent 1 point to identify this batch of finished potion.
[Item]: Substandard Recovery Potion
[Category]: Potion·Recovery type
[Raw materials]: Coldwater herb, blue mushrooms, healing herb
[Description]: A recovery potion prepared by a Pharmacist Apprentice, but due to significant errors in operation, the final potion has flaws…
[Details]: …
“So there were this many problems with my preparation this ti…” Lucien read the detailed assessnt report, particularly the long list of mistakes, yet his mood was quite good.
After all, the most feared aspect during practice is not making mistakes, but not knowing where the mistakes are or how to correct them.
Referring to this evaluation result, Lucien had a very clear direction!
“Continue!” Lucien’s eyes blazed with passion, finding this feeling of continually realizing improvents in his own skills utterly delightful.
Ti always seed to fly during these singular but fulfilling days.
Besides his everyday teaching duties with Carly, Lucien spent several consecutive days in the lab, surrounded by these potions.
Although it looked sowhat tedious, it was indeed very rewarding.
“Phew… After preparing it hundreds of tis, I finally succeeded in creating such a perfect potion,” Lucien said as he picked up the test tube in his hand, his eyes gleaming with obsession as he gazed at the translucent erald liquid inside.
This potion was flawless after his appraisal, exhibiting a striking differenced in appearance and hue compared to ordinary recovery potions!
According to the information from the appraisal, this perfect-grade potion had a purer effect and significantly enhanced results compared to regular potions.
Lucien carefully stowed away this perfect potion, then turned his attention to the nearby rack holding the final product potions, his face beaming with delight reminiscent of a farr after the autumn harvest.
“There were a total of 150 ingredients, and I succeeded 51 tis. Among them, 13 recovery potions were flawed. However, even among pharmacists, this success rate is considered very high,” Lucien said with satisfaction.
“Moreover, with the experience of formulating a perfect recovery potion, I feel that my understanding of recovery potions has greatly deepened. In the future, I should be able to increase my success rate even more. But now, it’s ti to exchange these potions for so lovely Magic Stones.”
Lucien waved his hand and stowed the recovery potions he was preparing to trade, in an excellent mood.
“Master Lucien! Master Lucien!” Suddenly, Carly ran back into the house from outside, her eyes showing a trace of panic.
“What’s wrong?” Lucien inquired, his brow furrowing as he looked at Carly’s distressed deanor.
“Pant… Pant…” Carly gasped for breath, and after a slight pause, she lifted her head, her eyes filled with urgent concern, “I, I just overheard two Third-level Wizard Apprentices, and they ntioned that Master Lucien, you have been assigned a deadly forced mission!”
“A deadly forced mission?” Lucien was taken aback, but soon Nolian’s cold, snake-like pale yellow eyes surfaced in his mind.
“Yes…” Carly started to say sothing else, but just then, a series of strange crow caws echoed through the air. Shortly thereafter, a Crow with the Greybone Academy’s tal badge on its talon landed at the entrance to Lucien’s laboratory.
The Crow’s crimson eyes looked at Lucien, as if confirming his identity.
Then, it spoke, releasing a scroll marked with the Greybone Academy’s seal. “Lucien Kevin, this is your mandatory mission. According to the contract, the Academy’s once in three years mandatory mission must be undertaken within a month after it is issued, and you must comnce the mission within three months…”
Carly attempted to speak, but Lucien silenced her with a look.
At that mont, Lucien appeared exceptionally calm. He watched the Crow, which was ready to fly away, holding a Magic Stone in his hand. “Lord Harinton?”
The Crow was also attracted by the Magic Stone in Lucien’s hand and lingered in midair. “Magic Stone? Harinton likes Magic Stones!”
“Lord Harinton, can you tell
who from the Academy Council assigned this mission?” Lucien threw the Magic Stone towards the Crow in midair.
The Crow’s eyes showed a mont of hesitation, but after seeing another small handful of Magic Stones appear in Lucien’s hand, it flapped its wings and flew beside him. As it snatched the Magic Stones, it also whispered a na only the two of them could clearly hear.
Lucien’s pupils slightly constricted, but he quickly regained his composure.
“I thought as much,” Lucien murmured to himself, then he lifted his head, watching as the Crow gradually flew away.
“Master Lucien, is it possible to refuse…” Carly asked, looking at Lucien, her heart filled with anxiety.
After all, she had just overheard the conversation between those two Third-level Wizard Apprentices, and their tone seed sowhat gleeful and relieved.
Moreover, it seed this mandatory mission had already claid the lives of several Wizard Apprentices, including one Third-level Wizard Apprentice!
