Chapter 90 Sunflower
Just then, Andrei stepped forward, bowed politely, and said, "Hello, Envoy Kelly. I'll leave the verification work to you."
Faced with Kelly's magical pressure, the only ones who could still speak besides Leo were Andrei.
Admittedly, Andrei exhibited many unacceptable flaws in this potion-making process.
However, he was the head of the research lab.
At that moment, he stepped forward decisively and responsibly, instead of becoming a coward.
Kelly snorted coldly.
The demonic pressure receded like a tide.
The other wizarding apprentices in the study room gradually recovered as well.
Although Leo was not greatly affected, he felt slightly lighter at this moment.
Leo seemed to be deep in thought.
"A mere difference in magical pressure can have an impact on wizards. However, this impact manifests as negative physical reactions. Those of me who have strengthened my physical body are relatively less affected."
Kelly squeezed the emerald ring on her left hand with her right hand.
This emerald ring is an enchanted item, faintly retaining a magical pressure that would suffocate even a third-class wizard apprentice.
Kelly's gaze shifted slightly, sweeping towards the table beside her.
On the table were seventy-six bottles of high-quality potions. Although these potions were almost all the same color, upon closer inspection, one could see that they had different shades.
Kelly said, "Andre, you have quite a lot of finished products. However, it's hard to say how many of them are truly high-quality potions."
"Bring me the data report first, let me take a look."
Kelly entered the research room, and behind her were ten figures in robes, none of whom had condensed spiritual seeds.
They were hidden under long robes, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
Leo frowned slightly upon seeing this.
It is unclear what the background of these ten people is.
"Are these people behind Wizard Fia and Wizard Kelly her students?"
Fia whispered beside him, "No, these people are test subjects used to test the potion's effectiveness. When verifying the results, the envoy might look for some young wizards to test the potion. Many of these young wizards lack talent, can't earn tuition fees, but still want to continue their training. Some of the gathering's instructors will recommend them to the envoy to help with the verification work."
"Although the Tower of Dawn usually uses demi-humans as test subjects, in fact, compared to other things, young wizards who cultivate spiritual energy are more suitable as test subjects."
At this moment, one of the ten people raised his head and looked towards Leo.
Leo was just able to see the other person's face clearly.
This person was tall and slender with delicate features, and had a rather aristocratic air about him.
This was an old acquaintance of Leo's, none other than Prince Sono of the Kingdom of Sogra.
When Sono's eyes met Leo's, he quickly lowered his head.
Leo asked, "Witch Fia, these people aren't witches. Aren't you worried about them experiencing abnormalities due to excessive mental radiation from taking these potions?"
Fia shook her head and said, "They were gambling their lives for their future. If they became wizards before the mutation happened, then they made the right bet. Otherwise, they made the wrong bet."
Leo fell silent.
He seemed to understand where Sono's impressive mental energy came from.
This was a gamble with one's life.
Kelly placed the potted plant on the table next to her and then began to review the data report submitted by Andrei.
While Kelly was engrossed in watching, Leo was gazing thoughtfully at the potted plant.
A gentle prompt appeared in Leo's mind.
"Inferior quality plastic sunflower patterns found in the catalog. Should they be added?"
【Sculpted Sunflower】
Quality: Inferior
Effect: Herbs that stabilize mental energy
Cost: 10 Refinement Points
Superior Encyclopedia: Basic Potions
Fia's gaze then fell upon the plant, and she said, "That's the Sunflower. It's one of the most commonly used medicinal materials in Envoy Kelly's research."
"Recently, the sunflowers have experienced a large-scale withering phenomenon for unknown reasons, which has led to a significant reduction in the income of most of Kelly's research results. Moreover, this loss is continuing to increase."
Fia said, her tone tinged with schadenfreude.
Leo had heard Lexus mention this before, and his gaze was fixed on the sunflower.
After thinking for a moment, Leo used his refinement points to upgrade this illustration.
"Consumes 10 Refinement Points."
【Sculpted Sunflower】
Quality: Normal
Effect: Herbs that stabilize mental energy
Cost: 20 Refinement Points
Superior Encyclopedia: Basic Potions
Leo studied it in his mind.
A moment later, Leo heard a gentle notification.
"Having mastered the inferior quality Sunflower illustration, you have gained 10 Refinement Points."
For Leo, whose mental energy is currently at a high level of 24, learning these basic potion-making materials is relatively simple.
Soon, another gentle notification sounded.
"Having mastered the Common Quality Sunflower illustration, you have gained 20 Refinement Points."
'Consumes 50 Refinement Points'
【Sculpted Sunflower】
Quality: Perfect
Effect: Herbs that stabilize mental energy
Consumption: None
After upgrading his encyclopedia to perfection, Leo then carefully studied the encyclopedia entry for the Sunflower.
Suddenly, the cultivation method for the Sunflower came to Leo's mind.
This even includes the problems with this particular sunflower.
Leo was also quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the problem that had been troubling Kelly, a first-class wizard apprentice, would be so easily solved by him using the illustrated manual.
Leo asked, "Witch Fia, hasn't anyone figured out the cause of the problem with these Sunflowers yet?"
"No," Fia shook her head and said, "Kelly consulted a qualified wizard, but even the qualified wizards didn't know the reason. After all, even knowledgeable and experienced qualified wizards are not all-knowing and all-encompassing. They may not be able to perfectly grasp all the problems involved in some simple potion ingredients."
"Many problems arise from subtle changes in the environment. The causes of these problems remain unknown, and they are something that wizards need to explore."
Leo nodded slightly and tentatively asked, "Witch Fia, if someone were to find a solution to this problem, how much would Envoy Kelly be willing to pay to obtain it?"
Fia looked at Leo in surprise and asked, "Does that mean you've found a solution?"
Leo said, "It's not that we've found a solution, just a glimmer of hope."
Fia nodded slightly and said, "If you can really find it, then I think Envoy Kelly would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy your solution."
"You should know that what she lost this time was a huge loss of more than ten thousand magic stones."
