Chapter 424 Is it difficult to mix potions?
Three rare spells, costing three second-class skills of high virtue.

Gao De chose to split the remaining two second-class merits into third-class merits, and added them to the original third-class merits to exchange for 13 common first-level spell formulas:
[Craftsman's Blessing] (Transmutation, 1st Ring):

The subject's next pass at the crafting stage will see more luck.

[Sharpened Senses] (Transmutation, 1st level):

The subject's senses are heightened.

[Despair] (Enchantment, 1st level):

In a fifty-foot-radius burst centered on you, despair fills your enemies within the area with fear and doubt.

Despair can counter and remove Blessing.

[Colorful Jet] (Illusion, 1st level):

A dazzling cone-shaped beam of light radiates from your hand, stunning any creature caught in it, possibly blinding them or causing them to fall unconscious.

Every creature within the cone-shaped area will be affected to varying degrees depending on the level of its mental strength.

Creatures without vision are not affected by the colorful jets.

[Detect Trap] (Divination, 1st level):

You can detect simple pitfalls, snares, traps, and mechanical traps made from natural materials;

It can also detect certain natural hazards - quicksand (like a snare), rock holes (like a pit), or a stone wall that is about to collapse (like a smashing trap).

The amount of information you can gain depends on how long you study a particular area.

[Entropy Shield] (Protection, 1st level):

A magical field of multiple chaotic hues appears around you.

This magical field deflects arrows, rays, and other ranged attacks.

Note that this is done by manipulating light and shadow to achieve an effect similar to concealment, and does not work for spells without tracks.

[Levitation] (Evocation, 1st level):

You create a slightly concave force field disk that follows you and carries your cargo.

The disc always floats approximately 3 feet above the ground and remains level.

It floats horizontally within the spell's range and follows you as you move, up to your normal speed.

Unless otherwise directed, it will stay 5 feet away from you.

If the spell duration ends, the disk dissipates.

Likewise, the disc will dissipate if you move out of the spell's range or attempt to bring the disc beyond the range limit to the nearest ground surface.

When the disk dissipates, everything on it falls to the ground below it.

[Animal Ignorance] (Abjuration, 1st level):

The animal has no awareness of the warded creature, and even if it has a paranormal sense modality such as blindsense, blindsight, scent, or tremorsense, it cannot detect or locate the subject.

The animal behaves as if the subject is not present at all.

If the subject touches any animal or attacks any creature, even if it does so through a spell, the animal ignore spell loses its effect.

[Decompose Corpse] (Necromancy, 1st Ring):

Using this spell, the caster can rapidly disintegrate the fleshy parts of a corpse of Giant or smaller size, leaving behind a perfectly clean skeleton.

[Diagnosis] (Divination, 1st level):

You can determine whether a creature, object, or area carries a disease or infection (such as mold, slime mold, or other similar hazards) or any extraordinary or supernatural effects that cause sickness or nausea.

If disease exists, you learn what disease it is and what effects it has. If the target is a creature, you have an easier time curing the target of its disease.

[Frostbite] (Transmutation, 1st ring):

Your melee touch attacks deal additional cold damage and fatigue the target.

【Assembly】(Energy Transmutation, First Ring):

You create the sound of a massive hunting horn, producing three notes and the volume of a dragon's roar.

Sound can travel up to 4 km in typical outdoor conditions.

You can control these three sounds as a free action over the duration of the spell and at any rhythm, long or short, allowing you to deliver a brief message.

[Burning in Fire] (Enchantment, 1st Ring):

You cause the target to develop a strong sexual attraction to another creature or object you specify when you cast the spell.

This creature or object must also be within the spell's range and within the target's perception.

13+3, plus the 35 first-level spells he has already mastered, Gaode's final first-level spell library will reach 51.

This number of first-level spells is enough to ensure that the strength of the expertise he awakens when he is promoted to the second level is "golden" super expertise.

There is no doubt that Gaode's drastic actions attracted the attention of the mage in the logistics department.

"Are you sure you want to exchange so many spell formulas?" Old Neil looked at Gode suspiciously.

He had never seen any Sea Sentinel Mage use such a "crazy" and "extreme" exchange method.

Gao De naturally nodded, but did not explain further.

Since there is no reasonable explanation, it is better to remain silent and let others guess for themselves.

Compared to exchanging for a five-ring spell formula, his behavior was just strange and would not arouse any suspicion.

After seeing that Gaode was sure, Old Neil had a good sense of boundaries and did not ask any more questions, and quickly arranged the goods for Gaode.

First is the Lingquan Ganlu tree seeds, placed in a transparent crystal bottle.

The bottle also contained clear spiritual spring water, in which the tree seeds were soaked.

The appearance of the tree is crystal clear, like a drop of water, and inside there is a drop of golden liquid flowing slowly, like a living spring.

There are still fine ripples on the surface of the seeds, as if they will turn into water at any time.

If you listen quietly, you can hear the gurgling sound of water and faint singing coming from the seeds.

In addition to the tree species itself, a cultivation manual for the Lingquan Ganlu tree species and a bottle of special soil collected from the original Lingquan Ganlu tree are also included.

Gao De flipped through the cultivation manual and finally understood why it was noted that the Lingquan Ganlu tree species was extremely delicate.

This thing has very high requirements for soil.

It needs to be planted in a special soil made by grinding the moss where water elves live into powder, mixing it with the fertile silt at the bottom of the lake and ice chips from glaciers more than a thousand years old, in a ratio of 1:2:1, in order to germinate and grow normally.

During the subsequent cultivation process, the grapes need to be watered every day with fresh dew picked that day.

But it’s okay, it’s Flora’s business anyway.

Gaode said he was in a good mood.

Then, there is the level-up potion [Green Ivy Spirit Dew].

The liquid medicine is translucent green with tiny golden spots floating on the surface, and it makes crisp ding-dong sounds when shaken.

It looks extremely extraordinary.

Finally, there are sixteen spell recipes.

Gao De was satisfied and left the supply department with a huge harvest.

After Old Neil saw Goder off, he unconsciously fell into deep thought in his seat and muttered to himself:
"Are you going to be promoted to the second ring so soon, or are you exchanging it for someone else?"

Gaode chose to exchange for the level-up potion, and his purpose must be these two.

The latter is easy to say, but if it is the former, it is a bit beyond Neil's understanding.

Selection and assessment information is not confidential.

So Old Neil knew that during the assessment, Gaode's mage level had clearly just broken through to the middle stage of the first ring.

His outstanding feature is that his mental strength far exceeds that of ordinary mages and he has the potential to break through limits.

It has only been half a year since the selection, and Gaode has already started exchanging for level-up potions? ?

What kind of practice progress is this?
Could it be that it really is a hidden dragon or a fish leaping out of the sea?
While Old Neil was daydreaming, Godard was already wandering around the major magic material stores in Dorne's commercial district.

Sixteen new spell recipes are sixteen spell potions, which require seventy or eighty main and auxiliary materials in total.

If you want to collect all these materials, you must visit several magic material stores, and some of them may need to wait for delivery.

But this time Gaode was lucky. After visiting several magic material stores, he easily gathered all the main and auxiliary materials.

Sixteen spell potions cost nearly 650 Plantagenet coins to purchase the raw materials.

The huge sum of money that Gao De exchanged for fifty ice jade sycamore leaves has now shrunk to 2657 plantagenet coins.

It still seems like a lot, but Gaode knows it won’t last long.

First, the upgrade is imminent. The market price of the second-level spell formula is as high as 120 gold coins, and the cost of the second-level spell potion is close to 200 gold coins.

In other words, these 2657 Plantagenet coins were not even enough for him to learn ten second-level spells.

Not to mention the equipment update after upgrading to the second ring, Marquis Drake has just rewarded a shop in the Vanzhuolun district. If you want to open it, it will be another big expense.

But Gaode is not particularly anxious.

He had spent a large amount of Plantagenet currency in Lagos to build shipyards and shipping routes in order to solve his own economic problems.

Although most of the money earned there is now invested in the shipyard to purchase more fixed assets.

But because it is a no-cost business, the payback period will be extremely fast and profits will surely come soon.

After completing a large purchase, Gao De did not return to the dormitory, but went to the Walmart Magic Materials Store.

Because the sea sentinel dormitory does not have a kitchen or corresponding cooking utensils.

He first went upstairs to "cook" and "mix" sixteen magic potions one by one.

Then he gulped down all the potions like drinking water.

Sixteen doses of magic potion went into his stomach, filling Goder up completely. With this number of new spells, even for him, it would take him several days to build all the spell models.

In the following time, he was like a child who had just received a batch of new toys. He concentrated on building the spell model and didn't care about what was happening outside the window.

But some things will not happen just because Gaode doesn't care.

Normally, if he performed a great deed, it might not cause much stir. After all, if he did not actively show off and publicize it, not many people would know about it.

But this time, it was a collective task, and the evaluation of military merit was announced in public, so after the event, the news of his feat of winning three first-class merits as a first-class apprentice wizard quickly spread within a day.

Moreover, the news was not only spread among the Sea Sentinels, but also spread among the noble circles in Dorne.

With the support of three first-class merits, the word "bright future" has basically become associated with Gaode.

Such a young mage, a "wild mage" at that, has no power behind him.

It is undoubtedly a hot commodity.

Of course, there are both good intentions and bad intentions in this view of "hot cakes".

Good intentions are to think that Gaode can be invested in, while bad intentions are to think that Gaode is helpless and wants to use money to exchange Gaode's first-class merit for such a great merit.
There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and naturally there will be all kinds of people and ideas.

But these are not matters of high virtue.

After four days of seclusion, Gaode, who had constructed all sixteen spell models, had already begun packing his luggage and belongings, preparing to return to the North.

I have to say that although only a month and a half has passed since I last left the North and am now preparing to return to the North, the gains I have made are far beyond my imagination:
Blood crystal wheat seeds from the Holy Empire, fourth-level spiritual spring nectar magic tree seeds, an alien raccoon egg, a precious magic plant dragon bird blood fungus, and the accidentally discovered buzzing tree seeds.

These are unexpected gains.

In addition, there are local tree species purchased by Gaode when he was out on missions, and tree species purchased by Walmart Magic Materials Store on a long-term basis, totaling more than 40 new tree species and two first-level magic tree species.

There is a bit of the meaning of a hamster carrying good things home.

After sorting out all the harvest, Godard followed the agreement and "pulled" Flora, who was still in the North, to the Plantagenet Dynasty by canceling the spell casting combo.

"The wheat in this field is growing the best. Huh?"

Flora looked around, a little confused, as if looking for her wheat, and then she saw Gaode with a smile on his face.

"It was my fault that I disturbed Lady Flora's work." Goder apologized.

He could bring Flora to the Plantagenet dynasty at any time, but the flaw was that he had no idea what Flora was doing in the North at that moment, so it was a "blind pull".

Judging from Flora's inertial state, she was obviously just "working".

Flora frowned subconsciously.

She has always been a responsible adult, so she felt a little upset when her work was interrupted.

But it was only a brief frown, and then he immediately smiled.

She is also a playful little person.

Flora knew that it would be fun if Godra came.

"Mage, Lady Flora doesn't blame you." She said seriously.

"That's good."

Flora stared at him without saying a word.

Godard chuckled, "If I remember correctly, today is Dorne's Pentecost. There will be activities in the city tonight. I will take Lady Flora for a walk."

"Is it fun?"

“It’s very lively, there are a lot of people, and there are all kinds of activities.”

"The mage will go, and Lady Flora will go."

"Of course I went."

"Lady Flora is going too!"

After going out, there were indeed many more pedestrians on the road than before.

This grand scene reminded Gao De of certain festival scenes in his previous life.

"Lady Flora, please don't fly around, or you might get lost." Goder warned.

"Lady Flora is very smart."

Only smart people will not lose it.

"Too."

Gao De smiled and followed the crowd in one direction.

Pentecost, also known as the Festival of the Sea, is a festival dedicated to worshiping the ocean and praying for its protection and bountiful catches.

This is a festival unique to coastal cities.

In addition to setting up altars on the beach during the festival, there will also be lively markets and various performances at night.

There is a market in every district.

Walmart Magic Materials Store is located in the East District, so Gaode took Flora to the market in the East District.

People walking on the street are also going there.

Gode followed the crowd, while Flora sat on Gode's shoulders, looking around.

Looking from this height, all you can see are all kinds of faces and heads. Flora looks at the street scenery through the gaps between the densely packed heads.

It's getting dark.

The street lights on both sides have been lit up, forming a beautiful night scene.

The closer you get to the market, the busier it gets.

There are people selling snacks, shell crafts, fishing nets, and ship models, as well as performers. The sounds of exclamations mixed with the sounds of bargaining make up this unique festival scene in this world.

Suddenly, Flora widened her eyes and looked not far away.

A large crowd of people had gathered there, surrounding the space so tightly that there was not even a gap for Flora to see the scene clearly.

She tugged at Goder's collar.

"Let's go and take a look." Gao De immediately understood.

"Mage, are you curious too?"

"Yes."

"Then Lady Flora will accompany the wizard to see it."

"Thank you so much, Lady Flora." Gode said in a low voice.

An adult and a child came outside the crowd, but still could not see anything.

Gao De smiled slightly and took a step forward. Without him making any movement, the crowd that had originally surrounded him surprisingly made way for him.

【Hand of the Mage】.

Some of the people who were pushed back a little felt a little dissatisfied and wanted to find the culprit, but they couldn't find anyone at all, so they could only give up.

After squeezing into the inner circle, I found that it was actually a potion master who was demonstrating how to mix potions and was also advertising his own potion shop.

To be honest, potion mixing is not very entertaining. It is definitely not as attractive as the sideshow I just saw on the roadside.

The reason why it attracted so many people to watch was that after the potion master prepared the potion, he would randomly give the finished product to the onlookers.

For example, what he is preparing now is the "Refreshing and Heat-Removing Magic Potion", which is a zero-level magic potion. After drinking it, the drinker will feel refreshed all over and all heat will disappear within a day. It is a rare good thing in summer.

The potion master was very skilled. He poured the processed raw materials into the bottles one by one, and then, like mixing a fancy cocktail, his hands swayed left and right like butterflies, adding some raw materials from time to time.

During this process, he was also able to maintain extremely stable observation and preparation of medicinal properties.

As he moved, the liquid in the medicine bottle began to change color, and a sweet fragrance and herbal scent instantly intertwined and spread.

After a series of operations, the light green potion took shape.

The potion master reached for a small cup nearby, divided the light green refreshing fire-removing potion into portions, and then randomly handed them out to the curious onlookers in the front row.

Those who received the potion took a sip and their eyes widened instantly, obviously feeling very good.

Immediately afterwards, the potion master began to promote his own potion shop vigorously.

Seeing this, Gao De shook his head and quietly retreated.

After squeezing out of the crowd, he realized something was wrong.

Flora, who is usually "noisy", didn't say a word the whole time.

Gao De turned his head and saw that the little man had a thoughtful expression on his face, staring at the crowd that had gathered again.

"What is Lady Flora thinking about?" asked Goder.

"Mage, what was that person doing just now?"

The little guy tilted his head with a curious look on his face.

"Mix the potion, what's wrong?"

"What is the potion?"

"It is a potion with magical effects made from various ingredients."
