Chapter 59 New Permissions, Master-Level Potion Identification
Vivian looked at Ian.
His gaze revealed an unprecedented level of importance.
The main problem is that Ian's learning progress is ridiculously fast.
If this gets out, the title of the school's number one potion genius might very well be given to someone else.
"There are still six months left. With your talent, you might actually be able to advance before Baker. Which setup are you planning to use?"
Vivian gave a faint smile.
Ian fell into deep thought.
The school of thought only offers four types of intermediate-level potions: magic potions to restore magic power, healing potions to cure diseases, energy potions to improve meditation efficiency and stamina, and elemental resistance potions.
Of course, there are other things as well, but those are things that pharmacists learn on their own.
Of these potions, the Energy Potion is the most difficult to make, while the other three are roughly the same level of difficulty.
"Then let's use magic potions."
After thinking for a moment, Ian said.
While I really want the energy potion, I need to prioritize the cultivation sequence.
It's not too late to start learning once you've entered the training sequence.
"Okay, go see Victor tomorrow. He's very skilled at magic potions. He'll also allow you to enter the intermediate apothecary area of the library for one hour each day. He also has recipes; just take my slip and go get one," Vivian added.
"Thank you, Minister."
Ian expressed his gratitude.
"Keep it up, and don't feel pressured. There are many things involved in who is in charge of the Potions Strategic Support Department, and the training sequence is just one part of it," Vivian comforted her.
"I understand, Minister Vivian."
Ian nodded.
He naturally understood this; how could a department with such huge interests make a decision based solely on a training sequence?
He was never doing it for Vivian.
It's all for my own sake.
"I want to advance to a higher level of wizardry, even become a full-fledged wizard!"
Ian's gaze was resolute.
Ever since witnessing the terrifying throughput of Horton's Wizarding Tower.
He understood.
What do these petty squabbles of the academy matter? This is a transcendent world where true power comes from within.
"So I want to advance to the training sequence, not for everyone else, but for myself."
Strangely enough, Ian suddenly understood many things.
My mood seemed to improve a lot.
Screw the Potions Department infighting, it's none of their business.
Who's stopping me!
Let's crush him!
If we can't beat him now, we'll wait until he improves his talent and strength before we crush him!
.....
Leave Vivian's laboratory.
Soon, Ian went to see Victor.
Victor's expression was complicated at this moment.
He never imagined that the kid he had high hopes for would actually make it this far.
They've even started trying to advance to intermediate pharmacist level.
Ian also seemed to have not seen Victor for several months, and Victor looked much more haggard at this time.
His eyes were also full of fatigue.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Ian asked.
"It's nothing. I was preparing to advance to the third-level wizard apprentice level, but I've been too busy lately," Victor shook his head.
Advance to the third-class wizard apprentice?
Ian was somewhat surprised.
"Instructor, haven't you entered the training sequence?" Ian asked curiously.
"No, my situation is rather special."
"My talent was actually pretty good, reaching the second tier, but I was too arrogant back then. I thought I could handle both potion-making and mental strength, so I didn't get in."
Victor shook his head, his face full of regret for his youthful arrogance.
"Right now, Doug obviously doesn't want me to advance, so he's assigned me a lot of tasks. Your arrival is a good opportunity to help me out."
Victor pursed his lips, a bitter expression on his face.
Ian fell silent.
As expected, it still needs to enter the cultivation sequence.
It's not just about the resources, but also about freedom—the freedom to escape the prison of the department.
Perhaps this is the most important aspect of training sequences besides knowledge.
Get rid of all the labor in the college.
They truly have the energy to improve themselves.
Otherwise, even a potion-making genius like Victor would likely be greatly worn down if trapped in the same repetitive routine day after day.
Ian definitely didn't want that.
For the first time, Ian felt that Victor, who seemed so dashing, wasn't so dashing after all.
"Cultivation sequence!"
Ian took a deep breath, his desire for the cultivation sequence greater than ever before.
"Tonight you familiarize yourself with the recipe, and tomorrow you'll become my assistant."
"I'm tired," Victor said wearily.
"Good instructor."
Ian nodded.
......
Leave the laboratory.
Ian went to the library.
They quickly entered the intermediate apothecary area and obtained the recipe for magic potions.
"Fifty magic stones, getting more and more expensive!"
Ian looked at the original price of the potion recipe and felt a chill run down his spine; it was much more expensive than witchcraft or anything like that.
Putting aside other things, among schools of thought, potion-related items always seem to be the most expensive at the same level.
Fortunately, she had Vivian's financial support.
The recipe was redeemed quickly.
Ian returned home and began to study.
Unlike low-level potions, mid-level potions are much more complex.
"The extraction of moonflower juice must be completed within ten minutes before the moon's power dissipates, and it must be fused with starlight powder for the first time at a specific temperature..."
The stamen of the 'Blue Tear Flower' needs to be activated with wood-attribute magic the moment it blooms... The final step is that the stirring rate must resonate with the frequency of mental energy fluctuations..."
As Ian watched the process unfold, he grew increasingly alarmed.
Not only are the materials far superior to those of the past, but the level of precision is also far greater.
No wonder you need to reach the third stage of the Eye of Light and the Guiding Technique, which is mastery, before you can even try it.
I studied it all night.
the next day.
Ian began his studies under Victor.
Five days later.
Introduction to Pharmacy.
Ian also started trying.
Processing the materials takes half an hour, and because of his lack of mental energy, preparing one batch takes almost an hour.
You can prepare about three or four servings a day, which can improve your score by about ten points on average.
"Considering the decline, it will probably take about three or four months to reach the expert level," Ian estimated.
Time is still quite tight.
But it is definitely enough to be included in the culture sequence.
There's even a high probability that they could beat Baker to it.
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she claims not to care about the potions department's messy affairs, if Vivian were to take control of the potions strategic support department...
Ian will definitely benefit greatly; it will be very helpful for his growth.
This resource.
If possible, we should naturally try to achieve it.
........
A few more days passed.
The members of the mutual aid society met.
Nothing happened this time, but Ian did prepare some medicine for these people.
This time, the group gave him magic stones, so Ian didn't refuse.
After the group left.
Ian's life returned to normal.
Magic potion proficiency increases slowly but steadily.
Ten days later!
Ian left the library once again.
His potion identification skills have been upgraded to the master level.
