Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 52 Making Magic Potions

The room was already empty; Herag was just using the Cleansing Ear to tidy it up because there was too much dust inside.

Herag took out all the equipment he had purchased and then simply laid out the room: a herb processing area, a potion brewing area, a potion reaction area... He strictly followed the experimental procedures taught by Larry.

These tasks alone took four hours. Horag couldn't wait to take out a batch of raw materials for the White Dried Herb Healing Potion and prepare to start refining it.

"Deep Blue, now begin the refining of the White Dried Herb Healing Potion. Provide relevant instructions on the steps, temperature, and time."

"Potion-making assistance is now available."

Deep Blue has incorporated the potion-making process from "Basic Introduction to Potions" and added the relevant regulations from Larry's Church, ultimately creating a potion-making auxiliary system.

In Hrag's view, there is a series of flowcharts. Deep Blue's current prompt to him is: "First, wash the white peony leaves and then soak them in alkaline water for thirty minutes."

Herag recalled the process described in the book, and then, following Deep Blue's instructions, methodically began processing the potion ingredients.

……

"The temperature of the forsythia juice is about to reach 75 degrees Celsius. Put it into the beaker after 30 seconds."

"The juice of Dictamnus dasycarpus leaves and the concentrated slurry of beetroot have reacted for 15 minutes. There is one minute left. Remember to take it out in time. 59 seconds left on the countdown."

……

Herag held a test tube containing a milky white solution, shaking it slightly while muttering a dozen or so strange syllables.

A magical force emanated from him and entered the test tube. The solution in the test tube began to emit white smoke, which eventually formed the shape of a plant.

"The White Dictamnus Leaf Healing Potion has been successfully prepared," Deep Blue prompted.

Herag breathed a sigh of relief. The potion-making process was more difficult than he had imagined, requiring him to maintain a high level of mental concentration throughout. Any slight delay in any step could lead to an error.

This is just the most basic White Dried Fruit healing potion; one can imagine how difficult the process of making Dawn Potions will be.

"Fortunately, with Deep Blue's assistance, the temperature and time can be controlled very precisely."

Herag took out a special bottle for potions, poured in the White Fresh Healing Potion, and then plugged it with a cork. A basic potion was now complete.

"Two magic stones in hand." Herag felt a sense of accomplishment.

"continue!"

There were still nine portions of potion ingredients left. After tidying up the laboratory according to standard procedures, Herag continued to start the next round of potion making.

Herag continued brewing potions until midnight, not because he was tired, but because he needed to complete his meditation practice.

He successfully crafted four White Leaf Healing Potions, but made a mistake and wasted one batch of materials, which made Herag feel bad for a long time. Two magic stones were gone just like that.

Herag sighed, brewed himself a cup of coffee, and began his meditation practice.

The fifth star is almost solidified, and Herag feels that he should be able to complete the meditation on this star tonight.

He brewed a pot of meteorite grass, and the water in the pot bubbled green after it boiled.

"This thing becomes useless after the second-class wizard apprenticeship. The body will develop resistance, but the meditation speed will also slow down."

Hellagur has a love-hate relationship with Meteorite Grass, a common potion ingredient here, mainly used in a potion to stabilize the mind.

A few hours later, just as dawn was breaking, Hrag opened his eyes, his gaze deep, and then let out a heavy sigh.

"Hrag Merlin: Strength 2.5, Agility 2.4, Constitution 3.6, Spirit 8.5, Magic Power 100%."

This meditation session was very effective; in addition to mental strength, other physical stats also showed significant improvement.

After breaking through to level 8 in mental strength, Hrag became more sensitive to the free-floating energy in the world, and could even slightly distinguish the differences between some of the energy particles.

"Could these be energy particles with different attributes?" Horag's perception was still a bit hazy, and he could only guess based on the elemental magic he had learned.

"Fortunately, I have decent aptitude, otherwise I don't know when I would have been able to complete the meditation on these few stars."

Horag's aptitude is 75, which is quite good among most wizarding apprentices. Larry's preferential treatment of him is largely due to the fact that Horag's aptitude is worth investing in.

The level of one's aptitude affects their sensitivity to the free-floating energy particles in the universe. The more acute one's senses, the easier it is to perceive energy particles during meditation, and the higher the absorption efficiency. The ultimate result is faster progress and advancement in meditation techniques.

In Hrag's mind, the fifth star lit up in the dot matrix pattern, with five more stars waiting to be lit.

"Deep Blue, what will happen if all the dot matrixes light up?" Herag asked curiously.

"There is currently no data to support this."

Deep Blue is simply an optimization based on the principles of meditation, but since no one has practiced it and there is no data, it is impossible to know what changes will occur.

After completing his daily training, Herag plunged back into the laboratory to continue refining the White Fresh Healing Potion.

He was busy all day long. When the moon was bright and the stars were few, Herag looked at the nine bottles of white medicinal potion in front of him with great satisfaction.

He made no further mistakes during the subsequent refining process, and his concentration also improved significantly after his mental strength was enhanced.

"The nine bottles of potions cost a total of forty-five magic stones. After deducting the cost, I can make a profit of twenty-five magic stones. Then I'll buy the raw materials, refine them, and sell them." Herag was planning his money-making scheme.

When it was time for his meditation practice, Herag put the White Fresh Healing Potion into his spatial ring and then began his daily practice.

He is one star away from meeting the mental strength requirements for a second-class apprentice. Once he completes the meditation for this star, he can begin preparing the raw materials for the Dawn Potion.

Herag looked up, found one among the countless stars, and began to meditate.

"Why did the starry sky I saw that day look completely different...?"

While meditating, Herag recalled the day he met Shiva, when the starry sky he saw was completely different from the starry sky here.

"Deep Blue, have you recorded the data for that starry sky?" Herag asked.

"Based on visual records, the star chart is as follows." Deep Blue presented a star chart to Helag.

Helag examined the star chart carefully and couldn't find any resemblance to the starry sky above him.

"Deep Blue, compare it to the current starry sky and search for similar places."

"After comparison, there are no similarities or overlaps."

After he had some free time, Herag remembered what had happened that day and felt something was off.

He reviewed every detail before and after, but still couldn't figure out how he had fallen into that strange space, or what that place was.

"And that toad, if I'm not mistaken, it ate Shiva in one gulp before the space shattered..." Herag pondered these questions while meditating.

……

There are two ways to buy potions in Moonglade. One is to buy them from the official Moonglade potion shop, where the quality is very good, but the price will be a bit higher than the market price.

For example, the White Pepper Healing Potion costs five magic stones on the market, but six magic stones at the potion shop.

Another way is to buy it from other wizards.
