Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 121 Unprecedented: A Seventeen-Year-Old Second-Tier Pharmacist

After deciding to use the competition rewards to exchange for the Netherworld Raven, Pei Ze left the mansion without delay and headed to the Tower Academy.

Although he had already graduated from the academy, no one stopped Pei Ze from entering the Tower Academy because of his status as a disciple of Mo Weng.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Mo Weng's place, he found that Gu Yi was also there.

"teacher."

Pei Ze first greeted Mo Weng, and then bowed to Gu Yi.

"Lord Gu Yi, it's been a long time."

Gu Yi smiled and nodded in greeting.

He had a very good impression of Mo Weng, his exceptionally talented disciple.

Knowing that Pei Ze was always engrossed in cultivation and wouldn't come to the herb garden unless there was something wrong, Mo Weng asked, "What's been going on lately?"

"Teacher, I would like to apply for a competition award."

Mo Weng was not surprised at all, and nodded slightly, saying, "This matter has indeed dragged on for quite a while. It's time to make the exchange. What do you want?"

"The more ghost crows, the better."

These words surprised not only Mo Weng, but also Gu Yi.

Both of them had considered that Pei Ze would exchange for resonance potions, rare materials, or magical items, but they never expected that he would want to exchange for magical creatures.

Not materials, but living magical creatures.

Mo Weng frowned and asked, "What do you need the Netherworld Raven for?"

"I've been researching how to improve the strength of my magical pets recently, and I've already made some progress. I happen to need a large number of Nether Ravens as experimental materials," Pei Ze said, revealing a reason he had already thought of.

After hearing this, both Mo Weng and Gu Yi understood.

They all knew that Pei Ze had a very powerful crow pet.

Back when Pei Ze was still a level three wizard apprentice, his raven pet already possessed combat power comparable to that of a top level three wizard apprentice, indicating that it had been exceptionally well-trained.

Now that he has advanced to the rank of wizard, it's not surprising that he wants to continue strengthening his magical pets.

However, while he could understand, Mo Weng did not agree with Pei Ze's actions.

"The competition rewards are extremely valuable. Are you sure you want to use them to exchange for the Netherworld Raven?"

"Yes, teacher," Pei Ze replied without hesitation.

Seeing Pei Ze's serious expression, which didn't seem like a momentary impulse, Mo Weng remained silent for a few seconds before finally nodding and asking no further questions.

"I will apply for the reward for you, but the number of Nether Ravens is small, so it will probably take some time."

Pei Ze nodded happily.

Mo Weng then changed the subject, asking, "When are you planning to go to the Turin plane?"

Pei Ze thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be about a month later."

Both strengthening the Mist Feather and upgrading the Magic Tattoo require a considerable amount of time.

He also planned to stockpile a batch of resonance potions before heading to the Turin plane.

Once we get to the interdimensional battlefield, there probably won't be much time to prepare potions for him, so it's best to make preparations first.

After Pei Ze left, Gu Yi said with a smile, "Your student has improved quite a bit during this time."

Newly mined wizards often have somewhat unstable mental fields because they have just formed their spiritual crystals.

However, as seen just now, Pei Ze's mental energy field was extremely stable, almost comparable to that of a first-level vaporization limit wizard.

A relieved smile appeared on Mo Weng's face.

Pei Ze's performance has always been very satisfactory to him, and even a pleasant surprise.

He had a feeling that Pei Ze might be the most outstanding student he would ever have.

Seeing Mo Weng's expression, Gu Yi said with a hint of jealousy, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have taken Pei Ze as my student myself back then, and you wouldn't have gotten away with it now."

Mo Weng glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "You don't know how to make potions, you're just wasting his talent in potion-making."

"Perhaps Pei Ze also has a talent for bio-engineering."

"." Mo Weng pursed his lips, ignoring his old friend's nonsense.

Pei Ze's talent in potion-making goes without saying, and he has also made considerable achievements in enchanting. Such outstanding dual talents are already quite amazing. If he were to add biological modification, he would not only be a genius, but a monster.

Even if Pei Ze truly possessed talent in bio-modification, he had no intention of letting Pei Ze come into contact with it.

A wizard's energy is limited; if he spreads his energy across too many areas, he will only end up mediocre in everything.

Gu Yi knew that what he said was unrealistic, so he laughed and changed the subject.

"Yin Xue has been in the Turin plane for over four months now. Which war castle is she in now?"

"Red Maple City".

"The territory of the Winterfrost Kingdom? I remember it being quite close to White Ice City?"

"It's right next door, about four thousand kilometers away."

"You're really not worried. White Ice City is the Meng family's territory, and Red Maple City is so close, also within the Meng family's sphere of influence. Aren't you afraid they'll harm Yin Xue?"

"The Meng family has no energy to care about anything else right now," Mo Weng said calmly.

Gu Yi's expression shifted, and his eyes gleamed as he asked, "The other two families have made their move?"

Mo Weng nodded calmly.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yi's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

"This is going to be interesting."

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the apothecary, Pei Ze placed the last bottle of resonance potion into his spatial ring.

Looking at the space ring filled with resonance potions, a smile appeared on his lips.

A total of one hundred materials were used to refine thirty-eight bottles of resonance potion.

"One set of materials costs 10 magic coins, so the cost of one bottle of resonance potion is less than 27 magic coins."

Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction.

This cost is lower than what a third-tier pharmacist would make.

Moreover, among these 38 bottles of resonance potions, there are 3 bottles of superior quality and 11 bottles of medium quality, which are much more valuable than the inferior resonance potions worth 300 magic stone coins.

Pei Ze estimated that 38 bottles of potions would be more than enough to sell for 12,000 magic stone coins.

Compared to the cost of 1000 magic stone coins, this profit is incredibly high.

Of course, the high-grade and mid-grade resonance potions should not be sold; they should be kept for personal use.

The remaining 24 bottles of low-grade resonance potions can be sold to replenish funds.

As for how to make a move

Pei Ze already had a plan in mind.

He cast a spell to send out two letters, then walked out of the apothecary.

As he passed through the backyard, he heard the sound of wings flapping, and then a dark shadow descended from the sky and landed lightly on his shoulder.

Wu Yu gently pecked his cheek, her glossy black feathers reflecting a deep luster in the sunlight.

During this period, Tong Ming was entrusted by Pei Ze to help purchase a large number of crow-type magical creatures.

This includes more than two hundred red-eyed crows, more than ninety death knell crows, and four ghost crows.

In addition, there are a small number of Poisonous Twilight Crows, Storm Crows, Stone Crows, etc.

However, because their numbers are too small, their ability to devour is not apparent.

So far, Mistfeather has only fully acquired the Red-Eyed Raven's ability to see through illusions and the Deathstroke Raven's sonic abilities.

After compiling the statistics, Pei Ze discovered that the more powerful the ability, the more crow-type magical creatures needed to be devoured to fully acquire it.

For example, the red-eyed crow only needed to devour a little over a hundred to fully acquire its abilities.

The number of Deathstroke Ravens was slightly larger, and it took more than 130 of them to fully acquire the sonic wave ability.

Based on this trend, it is estimated that the Nether Raven will need to devour two to three hundred to fully obtain the power of death.

This goal is clearly difficult to achieve.

It's worth mentioning that the boost that Mistfeather receives from devouring crow-type magical creatures is significantly greater than that from ordinary crows.

This was expected.

After all, ordinary creatures can't compare to magical creatures.

"From now on, we only need to devour crow-type magical creatures."

Before he knew it, Pei Ze arrived near the newly opened flower garden, and heard a sound like wind chimes.

Looking up, I saw Xiao Yi comfortably sitting in a hollow on a rock that had been moved from somewhere beside the flowerbed, her eyes half-closed in a look of pure enjoyment.

A group of withered leaf fairies surrounded her like stars around the moon.

Some people held leaves to fan themselves.

Some fed her nectar.

Some people were massaging her legs.

"."

Pei Ze shook his head speechlessly.

This little guy really thinks he's a landlord, ordering the leaf fairy around in all sorts of ways.

Well, those rare plants were just transplanted and need time to adapt, so there's not much work to do. For now, the wood elves can take care of them enough.

Let the little guy have his fun for now.

Shaking his head, Pei Ze left the backyard.

As soon as he arrived in the lobby on the first floor, he sensed that someone was visiting outside. He smiled slightly and activated the magic array restriction.

After a while, led by the water sprite, Yang Hui and Yue Neng walked in from outside.

"Lord Pei Ze, it's been a long time."

"It's been a long time since we last met."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Hui couldn't wait to get straight to the point.

"Lord Pei Ze said he has a resonance potion he intends to use. Is that true?"

Yue Neng also looked at Pei Ze with anticipation.

It's no wonder the two were so eager; the resonance potion was simply too important for the crystallizer.

Without resources to aid meditation, unless one is a bloodline wizard, the rate of mental improvement is ridiculously slow.

Especially for ordinary wizards like them, with average qualifications and backgrounds, who dare not risk their lives to earn resources on the interdimensional battlefield and can only make do with a leisurely job in an institution like the Wizard Management Department, it is even more difficult for them to obtain resonance potions.

The only way to obtain it is through the Wizarding Administration's monthly perk—a bottle of Resonance Potion.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have remained at the first level of vaporization stage even after four or five years of advancing to the wizard level.

So when they heard Pei Ze say that a resonance potion had been used, the two of them rushed over in a hurry.

Pei Ze smiled slightly, gesturing for the two to sit down, before calmly taking out a bottle of resonance potion and placing it on the table in front of them.

Yang Hui and Yue Neng's gazes immediately fell on the resonance potion, their eyes fixed on the liquid inside.

After a moment, the two exchanged a glance, and Yang Hui tentatively asked, "Lord Pei Ze, would you mind if I did a potion test?"

Pei Ze smiled nonchalantly and gestured for him to proceed.

Yang Hui then took out a piece of paper that looked like parchment, laid it flat on the table, picked up the bottle of resonance potion, pulled out the cork, and carefully poured a drop of the potion onto the paper.

As the medicine seeped into the paper, lines of text immediately appeared on the surface.

Yang Hui's eyes quickly scanned the words, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

"Nearly 70-80% purity, almost reaching mid-grade quality!"

A look of joy appeared on Yue Neng's face.

This level of resonance potion is far superior to the resonance potions that the Wizarding Administration issues every three months.

Yang Hui suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on Pei Ze: "Lord Pei Ze, did you concoct this potion yourself?"

"That's right." Pei Ze nodded frankly.

Despite having a vague idea, Yang Hui and Yue Neng couldn't help but gasp when they heard Pei Ze admit it, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at him.

A seventeen-year-old second-tier pharmacist!

Throughout the tens of thousands of years of history of Dawn City, there has never been such a young second-tier pharmacist!

While a seventeen-year-old formal wizard is certainly rare, it is still far less impressive than a seventeen-year-old second-tier apothecary.

After all, the first prerequisite to becoming an apothecary is to become a wizard.

There have been more than one seventeen-year-old wizards in the history of Dawn City, but a seventeen-year-old second-tier apothecary has never been heard of!

Even more surprisingly, Pei Ze also successfully refined a resonance potion.

This is a top-tier potion, ranking among the top three in terms of difficulty to refine among second-tier potions!

Many second-tier pharmacists have yet to successfully concoct even a single bottle of resonance potion.

It took Yang Hui and Yue Neng quite a while to recover from their shock. When they looked at Pei Ze again, their eyes both held a hint of barely perceptible awe.

Such a genius will definitely grow to a level that they can only dream of.

Composing himself, Yang Hui carefully asked, "How many resonance potions does Lord Pei Ze have?"

Pei Ze smiled slightly and gently stroked the table with his palm. Yang Hui and Yue Neng only felt a flash before their eyes, and 24 bottles of resonance potion instantly appeared on the table.

"So many!"

Yang Hui and Yue Neng were greatly surprised.

They originally thought that Pei Ze would only give them seven or eight bottles of resonance potion, but they didn't expect there to be more than twenty bottles.

However, after the initial surprise came excitement and delight.

"At what price does Lord Pei Ze intend to offer?"

"These are all low-grade resonance potions, so let's go by market price: 300 magic stone coins per bottle," Pei Ze said.

He could easily raise the price, even offering 350 or 400 magic stones per bottle, and there would still be wizards willing to buy it.

However, after careful consideration, Pei Ze still did not do so.

If he is too greedy, not only will the wizards who buy potions from him harbor resentment, but he will also easily offend other potion makers and even arouse the envy of others.

Ultimately, his costs are already lower than other pharmacists'. Even if he sells it for 300 magic stones, the profit margin is still incredibly high. There's absolutely no need for him to cause trouble for a little profit.

Hearing Pei Ze's words, Yang Hui and Yue Neng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Pei Ze would raise the price, but fortunately, although Pei Ze was young, he was still very sensible in his actions.

After agreeing on the price, Yang Hui bought three bottles of resonance potion without saying a word.

Yue Neng even bought four bottles at once.

Opportunities like this, where you can buy resonance potions to your heart's content, are rare. Even if it means emptying your coffers, you should buy as many as possible.

After the transaction was completed, Pei Ze smiled and said, "If either of you has any friends who need resonance potions, please feel free to recommend me."

Yang Hui and Yue Neng agreed with smiles on their faces.

They certainly wouldn't refuse such a small favor that requires no effort.

Anyway, they don't have any extra money to buy resonance potions in the short term, so they're not afraid of others buying up all the potions.

As for helping Pei Ze this time, with this favor, will I still have to worry about not being able to buy resonance potions?

The two immediately made up their minds to go back and spread the word about Pei Ze's use of the resonance potion.
