"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Something came up on the way, and I was delayed!" Connor said apologetically after a moment's hesitation. After expressing his apology, Connor changed the subject and tentatively asked, "May I ask who you are...?"

"My name is Gulsi. You can call me Dr. Gulsi or Ms. Gulsi, either is fine. I am not a member of your secret society. I am just an employee of your secret society, training pharmacists for your society!" Dr. Gulsi adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and gestured for Connor and Varga to sit on the sofa in the office.

Upon hearing Dr. Gulsi's explanation, Connor outwardly showed nothing and sat down on the sofa with Varga. However, he couldn't help but start to ponder in his heart. In his understanding, the Secret Society's operations were always very cautious and secretive. Why would they entrust the task of training pharmacists for the organization to someone who wasn't a member of the organization?

If this location hadn't been given to him by old Victor, a confidant of Reyes' mentor, and if Dr. Gulsi hadn't recognized him at a glance, Connor might have already launched a violent attack.

Seemingly seeing through Connor's pretense and sensing his inner thoughts, Dr. Gulsi glanced at Connor with a half-smile on his face, reached into his desk drawer, took out a piece of white paper, and tossed it to Connor.

"Take a look, this thing should look very familiar to you!"

Seeing that Dr. Gulsi seemed to have sensed his inner vigilance, Connor no longer concealed it and cautiously reached out to take the blank paper from the air.

"I'm not a member of the secret society, but my deadbeat husband is, and so is my son. Conte and I made a deal: the society will provide my son with a suitable advanced meditation method and ample resources for his practice, on the condition that I train five apothecaries for the society here. I only need one more!" Dr. Gulsi explained as he watched Connor take the blank paper, then looked with interest at the person sitting...

"I apologize again, I'm very sorry!"

"I'm Connor Ferguson, and this is Varga!"

Looking at the communication paper in his hand, identical to the one in his spatial ring, and then at his own sketch on the white paper, Reyes's handwriting, and the message, "The person he brought is the last one!" Connor's doubts vanished instantly. With an apologetic expression, he bowed and placed the communication paper back on the desk, then introduced himself and Varga to Dr. Gulsi.

"It's alright! As a member of the secret society, caution is an excellent quality. I'd be much more at ease if my son were as cautious as you!" Dr. Gulsi waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Varga beside Connor and said softly, "Varga, as a pharmacist, I can smell the potions on you. Can you tell me what kind of potions you can concoct now?"

Upon hearing Dr. Gulsi's question, Connor also turned his attention to Varga, wanting to know just how advanced Varga's pharmacology was.

Meeting Connor and Gulsi's questioning gazes, Varga hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, whispering, "I can now skillfully craft Sapphire Potions, Energy Potions, and Isco Hemostatic Potions. I'm now trying to craft Mana-Gathering Potions... but I've failed many times!"

Hearing Varga name the potions she could skillfully concoct, Doctor Gulsi's face showed admiration. "Very good, very good. At your age, being able to skillfully concoct so many potions is already quite remarkable. The Mana Gathering Potion is one of the main potions that helps novice apprentices break through to become intermediate apprentices, and it's quite difficult to concoct. It's perfectly normal that you can't concoct it yet!"

"I... I've made it..." Varga hesitated for a moment, then weakly retorted:

"What? You made this?"

Gulsi suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Varga with disbelief. Not only Gulsi, but also Connor, who was sitting next to Varga, had very interesting expressions on his face.

As a novice wizard apprentice, how to break through the bottleneck and become an intermediate apprentice after reaching the peak of novice apprenticeship is a very real and difficult problem facing Connor, and a bottle of energy-gathering potion is a very practical way to solve this problem.

"Valga, are you sure you're not joking? You can actually concoct an energy-gathering potion?" After a moment's thought, Dr. Gulsi asked Valga earnestly.

This time, Varga didn't hesitate and nodded decisively. "I failed three times, but I succeeded on the fourth try. Originally, I wanted to save that energy potion for Kang... but then some things happened, so I replaced the energy potion with this rune steel sword!" As she spoke, Varga seemed to be about to blurt out a name, but in her panic, she still couldn't say the name completely.

Unaware of this, Connor's attention was entirely focused on Varga's ability to concoct energy potions!

The energy-concentrating agent is the safest and most likely option for the chip to advance him to the junior apprentice level. Connor has been preparing for this, gathering information about the active agent, but he's always struggled to find enough. Now, it seems like he's found it without even trying...

Connor, who knew Varga well, knew that Varga had never lied. If she said she could refine the active potion, then the possibility was very high. If that were the case, then wouldn't it mean that he could break through to the ultimate apprentice level... Thinking of this, Connor's eyes narrowed subconsciously, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Hearing Varga's affirmative answer, Gulsi still seemed somewhat incredulous. After a moment's thought, she asked Varga again, "I happen to have refining equipment and raw materials here. I wonder if you could refine it on the spot, Varga...?"

"No problem!"

Varga readily agreed and did not refuse Gulsi's request to refine it on-site.

"Very good!" Gulsi nodded, then turned his gaze to Connor and said, "Mr. Connor, I need to take Varga to my studio now, so please wait here for a moment!"

"Okay!" Connor nodded. As an alchemist, he could completely understand Dr. Gulsi's request. If anyone else wanted to enter his alchemy place, Connor would refuse them without hesitation!
