章節 8: Chapter 8: The Inferior Activity Potion
Sunan wasn't particularly interested in the banquet in the first place. Now that he knew the items he had been longing for had arrived, he had even less desire to stay. After exchanging a few words with Kyi, he left the banquet hall and returned to his courtyard.
As soon as he entered, he saw two boxes placed in the courtyard.
He cast Mage Hand, moving the boxes into his study, and then opened them to examine their contents carefully.
One box contained more than ten books.
The dark, hard covers were adorned with intricate and irregular lines, forming words that only wizards (or apprentices) could understand.
Touch of Fatigue, Detect Poison, Unlocking Technique, Charm Human, Shield Technique, Alien Life Analysis, Necromantic Rebirth, Principles of Negative Energy...
Among the twelve books, in addition to five spell model books, the rest were on various specialized subjects.
And among the five spells, Charm Human and Shield Technique were both first-ring spells.
"First-ring spells..."
Sunan's eyes lit up.
Charm Human and Shield Technique were both very practical first-ring spells.
Especially Shield Technique, it was a life-saving spell that almost every wizard apprentice had to learn.
Unfortunately, to learn first-ring spells, one's spiritual power had to reach at least 10 points.
He was still far from that.
"Although the wizards abandoned this world, they left behind many books, magic items, and even legacies."
"These things are useless to ordinary people, they can't even understand them, but to wizard apprentices, they are precious treasures."
A smile appeared on Sunan's face.
As long as one was willing to spend time and had enough financial resources, any wizard apprentice could actually gather enough knowledge in this world to be promoted to a formal wizard.
Of course, resources were another matter.
Although he couldn't learn the two first-ring spells for now, the three zero-ring spells were not a problem.
Sunan put away the spell books, planning to study them slowly later.
Then, he flipped through the remaining specialized knowledge books one by one, but unfortunately, none of them triggered any corresponding skills.
Apparently, this knowledge was not classified as skills.
"I'll keep them and read them slowly when I have time, it's good to increase my knowledge."
Sunan was slightly disappointed. He put away the books and then opened the other box.
The box was filled with small boxes of various sizes.
Sunan opened them one by one.
As expected, the boxes were filled with various well-preserved materials.
"Pure Heart Grass, Dragon Eye Mint, Black-Spotted Python Bone Powder... these are all materials for making the Inferior Activity Potion!"
In the end, after counting, all the materials for making the Inferior Activity Potion were complete, except for the Mind-Clearing Tree sap.
And the quantity was quite large, enough to make the potion forty or fifty times.
"With so many materials, it should be enough for me to develop a new version of the Inferior Activity Potion."
Sunan couldn't wait. He took the materials and went straight to the laboratory.
The progress bar of the Star Ring Meditation Technique was already more than halfway full. With the help of the Inferior Activity Potion, it wouldn't be long before he could construct the first star ring.
Arriving at the laboratory, Sunan lit the candles and went straight to the long table filled with beakers and test tubes.
In the past three months or so, he had made the Inferior Dragon Blood Potion at least two hundred times, and his potion making had already reached Lv2, which was more than enough for zero-order potion experiments.
Therefore, in the following days, in addition to meditation and spell learning, Sunan had another task: potion experimentation.
He continuously synthesized Silvermoon Flower Essence of different purities and volumes, experimenting with its compatibility with other materials, and exploring the best ratio for it to serve as a substitute.
Starlight Calendar year 1249, Month of Revival (February)
As the Blackscale Lizards completely retreated to their lair in the Red Horn Wilderness, Blackrock City, free from threats, became completely leisurely.
Kyi shifted his focus back to managing the territory.
Because Blackrock City was located in the south and had a warmer climate, the snow began to melt at the beginning of the month.
It was expected that by the Spring Dawn month (March), they would be able to start sowing and plowing.
Kyi had already ordered the militiamen to build irrigation canals in the territory to bring in river water in preparation for the agricultural work in the Spring Dawn month.
With the irrigation from the river, it was foreseeable that this year's harvest would be good.
In addition, Kyi also called on the serfs in the territory to fish in the river during their free time, which was a way to increase the territory's income.
After the war with the Blackscale Lizards, the strength of Blackrock City's army did not decrease but increased.
Under the effect of the Inferior Dragon Blood Potion, the number of knights increased from the original nine to twenty-one.
And this number was expected to continue to grow in the next two months, until the accumulated Blackscale Lizard blood was used up.
This led to a sharp increase in the territory's meat consumption.
After all, a knight with an open stomach could eat thirty or forty pounds of meat a day. Blackrock City's cattle and sheep alone could not support this, so they could only try to find a solution through fishing.
However, fishing could only slightly alleviate the food problem.
Kyi had to spend money to purchase a large amount of meat from other cities.
In addition, his younger brother's research was also a huge expense.
The batch of antiques and materials last month alone cost dozens of gold coins, almost equivalent to Blackrock City's monthly tax revenue.
It made Kyi feel as if his heart was bleeding.
However, considering the long-term development of the territory, Sunan's research funding definitely couldn't be cut off.
In order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, Kyi, as the lord, had been worrying a lot lately.
Sunan, who was shut in the laboratory and focused on researching potions, was unaware of this.
Mid-Month of Revival.
After unremitting experimental efforts and research, Sunan finally made the first bottle of Inferior Activity Potion.
[Inferior Activity Potion (Zero-order/Inferior), after taking it, it can increase mental activity, duration 15 days and 4 hours, no effect when stacked.]
"Finally completed!"
Looking at the beautiful silver-blue liquid in the potion bottle, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Synthesis Cube, he could precisely control the refreshing effect of the Silvermoon Flower Essence, making its effect infinitely close to that of the Mind-Clearing Tree sap, to the extent that it could be used as a substitute.
The entire experimental process was actually just constantly adjusting the ratio of materials, and it went very smoothly.
That was why Sunan was able to make the new version of the Inferior Activity Potion so quickly.
Without hesitation, he immediately drank the potion and sat down on the spot to start meditating.
A cool, minty sensation suddenly spread from his abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his body.
Sunan instantly felt as if he was immersed in the cool bottom of a lake, with an indescribable sense of peace.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, his whole being radiant.
This was the positive effect brought about by the small increase in spiritual power in a short period of time.
Sunan immediately opened his personal panel.
[Sunan Ainest, human male, 16 years old]
[Spirit 2.82 / Physique 2.94]
[Skills]
Star Ring Meditation Lv1 (750/1000)
Potion Making Lv2 (289/3000)
"Spiritual power increased by 0.03, Star Ring Meditation proficiency increased by 25 points."
Sunan was overjoyed.
This efficiency was almost five times that of before!
"As expected, the effect of the potion is much better than that of pure plant essence!"
Sunan was extremely happy.
At this rate, he would be able to construct the first star ring in 10 days!
