Val converted the 500 Mad Points into 5 stat points.
He had a sense of how valuable these points could be in the long run, so he decided to save them for a more crucial moment in the future.
"Well done, master. You've successfully made your first potion." Gruul was visibly pleased as he praised Val.
Typically, novice alchemists would spend anywhere from weeks to months in continuous practice, and they would often ruin dozens of batches of alchemy materials before managing to create a basic level 1 potion. Val, however, had managed to craft a level 3 potion on his very first attempt. Though he had guidance from Gruul, it was still quite a impressive feat.
For someone new to the art of alchemy, achieving such a feat was nothing short of remarkable!
"I have to thank you for that," Val said.
"My help is negligible. It was mostly you," Gruul said humbly.
