Chapter 33: Creation of the Potion Complete

Unfortunately, the cooldown time of Frost Descent was a whole 160 seconds, otherwise, Lu Yuan would have been invincible.

Who could withstand such a devastating area skill?

After killing the fire python, Lu Yuan scooped up the loot and stuffed it into his backpack.

The equipment dropped was a staff, but its level was limited to level 15, so Lu Yuan couldn’t equip it for the time being.

Thus he could only put it aside for now.

Lu Yuan put the fire spirit herb into his backpack.

Then, with the same method, he killed two more fire pythons very quickly. With this, he had obtained three fire spirit herbs.

It was still a breeze for him.

However, Lu Yuan knew that there were relatively complicated follow-up missions.

After Lu Yuan gave the three fire spirit herbs to Rhine, Rhine was greatly shocked as he did not expect that Lu Yuan would be able to get the fire spirit herbs so quickly.

“Young man, you have completed the task with excellence. I will create the potion for you now!”

Then, Rhine fiddled with some of the instruments on the experiment table. The instruments looked like they were used to synthesize potions.

The process was a little different from what the alchemists did to refine potions.

It was more about extracting the medicinal properties of the herbs and then fusing them into a relatively mild medicinal liquid. It was easier to take, and at the same time, it could cure its patients better.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Rhine shouted, “Oh no! I didn’t expect that after such a period of time, the magic power of the Aiya Magic Stone I have is no longer enough.”

Lu Yuan was not surprised at all.

In his previous life, Lu Yuan already knew that this mission was rather complicated.

“Young man, I need you to find a lady named Shereen and ask for one Aiya Magic Stone.”

Lu Yuan nodded and agreed, “Alright, please leave it to me.”

[Mission update: Find Lady Shereen and ask for one Aiya Magic Stone.]

Lady Shereen was a scholar who frequently studied magic runes.

She could be considered an old friend of Rhine.

Lu Yuan followed the directions as indicated in the instructions and found Lady Shereen in a relatively remote area.

Usually, scholars who conducted magic research would do so in relatively remote areas. Otherwise, once the magic went out of control, it would lead to casualties, and would even cause quite a stir in the city, which was unnecessary.

“Oh? You said that you were sent here by that old man Rhine? Hmph! I didn’t expect that old fellow to still be alive. Not only is he not dead, he even wants one of my Aiya Magic Stones!”

From Lady Shereen’s words, Lu Yuan could tell that the relationship between the two of them was extraordinary, the tone of their conversation was very similar to that of best friends.

They both loved and hated each other.

Since he was asking her for a favor, Lu Yuan’s attitude was naturally very good.

“Yes, my respected Lady. It was Sir Rhine who asked me to come. The reason that Sir Rhine needs the Aiya Magic Stone is that he needs to create the potion to treat the Frost Moss Disease.”

When Lady Shereen heard this term, she immediately revealed a shocked expression.

“I didn’t expect it to be this. After so many years, this illness has actually appeared once again.”

After that, Shereen’s expression changed again and she looked at Lu Yuan.

“Help me deliver a letter, and I’ll give you the Aiya Magic Stone.”

Lu Yuan nodded to indicate that this was not a problem.

Soon, Lady Shereen sat at the table and wrote a letter. Surprisingly, Lu Yuan found that the words she used were magic characters.

Those who had not studied magic characters would not be able to see the words on the letter.

From a bystander’s point of view, it was as if Lady Shereen was moving her pen but was writing nothing as the paper seemed to be as blank as the void.

After a moment, the letter was finished.

“Alright, go and give this letter to Enel. I’ll give the Aiya Magic Stone to you when you return. Don’t think about slacking off. I’ll receive feedback after he receives the letter.”

…

[System notification: Current mission progress has been updated. Please deliver the letter to Enel]

Thus, Lu Yuan started running errands again.

Enel was in the Mages’ Guild.

Enel was currently in charge of the Guild’s magic education work.

It was very fitting with his retirement life.

When he saw that Lu Yuan had come with a letter, he was also a little surprised.

“Oh? I didn’t expect Shereen to write to me. How rare. Back then, she had said that she would never contact me again.”

Lu Yuan pretended to not understand his words.

“I think she may have something important that she needs to tell you.”

Enel looked very kind. As the mentor of beginner mages, he was enjoying life after retirement.

Naturally, he seemed amiable and was good-natured.

“Alright, young man, please return. I’ve already received the letter.”

Thus, the simple errand ended.

[Mission update: Please report to Lady Shereen.]

…

After Lu Yuan left, Enel took the letter back to his office and closed the door, only then did he take out the letter.

“What exactly happened? She even used magic characters to encrypt it.”

Then, as he continued reading, Enel’s expression gradually changed, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

“I didn’t expect it to be because of this… After so many years, it actually appeared again…”

…

Lu Yuan quickly returned and reported to Lady Shereen.

“My respected Lady, I’ve already sent the letter. I think you should have already noticed.”

Lady Shereen could not help but nod and said, “You’re right, young man. I’ve already received the feedback. Come, this is the Aiya Magic Stone for you.”

As she spoke, Shereen waved her hand in the air, and a magic stone emitting a faint green light appeared, which then slowly floated towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan put the Aiya Magic Stone away.

He had finally obtained the important mission item.

“Alright, I have already given you the Aiya Magic Stone. Please go back.”

[System notification: Current mission progress has been updated. Please hand the Aiya Magic Stone over to Rhine.]

…

Soon, Lu Yuan returned to Rhine’s Clinic once again.

“Sir Rhine, I’ve already obtained the Aiya Magic Stone.”

Rhine nodded as he took the Aiya Magic Stone from Lu Yuan.

“With the support of this Aiya Magic Stone, I should be able to extract the medicinal properties and create the potion very soon.”

Rhine began the work he had on his hands.

The creation of potions was quite meticulous.

One had to first extract the medicinal power of the spirit herbs, then add some neutralizing agents or catalysts to neutralize or catalyze the medicinal power.

The proportions needed to be perfectly controlled.

One could only see a pale green magical glow appear on the experiment table.

In a short while, the medicinal power was extracted.

Soon after, the potion was created.
