Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 386

Chapter 384 The Plutarch family doesn’t need you!

After a struggle, Locke also got three healing potion materials, which were the jade lotus root and star anise leaves that were the special products of the Six Towers Land, and a [Gustav Pebble] that was a specialty produced in the [Tver Plane], a small-to-medium-sized colonial plane in the hands of the Six Towers Land.

These three materials can barely be related to the materials of healing potions.

Locke looked at the three ingredients in his hand and the pile of other ingredients on the table, frowning. “Is this how you test a potion master’s skill? It’s a bit biased. A potion master who can use unconventional ingredients to create healing potions is impressive, but that doesn’t mean they have the upper limit of their skill level.”

Locke casually glanced at the potion ingredients on the table. “With the existing materials, what kind of healing potion can be prepared?”

“Perhaps I haven’t accumulated enough? These ingredients don’t match the classic potion recipes I’m familiar with. Even if I manage to identify the medicinal properties and forcibly use a few ingredients to refine a healing potion, it won’t reflect my level of potion knowledge at all.”

“It will make people look down on you because of this.”

The alchemist Santos on the side was extremely angry and kept muttering that this test was meaningless.

If it weren’t for the rich resources in the land of the Six Towers, I think he would have turned around and left.

The other potion masters also looked troubled. These materials were far from the potion formulas they remembered. It was even impossible to temporarily replace some of the materials.

However, if you mix it haphazardly, it will make people underestimate your true level of potion making.

That would be a waste of time.

Locke thought for a moment and made a decision to give up the three healing materials he had snatched. He did not force himself to make a bottle of healing potion, but chose to make the abyss potion type that he was best at.

He quickly picked up a severed finger of a demon from the material table.

This is the most common demon in the Endless Abyss: the severed finger of the Tanar’ri demon. He wants to make the Tanar’ri Hand potion.

The main function of this potion is to transform the user’s arm into the arm of a Tanari demon, which is a blood-transforming potion. However, it also has another function, which is to allow the user’s wounds all over the body to heal quickly and suppress existing toxicity and other damage in the body.

During my previous practice, I replaced one of the secondary materials of this potion, which just happened to enhance the special effect of suppressing wounds.

Locke quickly gathered the materials and headed towards the potions room.

At the same time, other potion masters were forced to make the final decision among these limited options.

In the potion room, Locke raised three crucibles.

At the same time, different magic flames burned under the three crucibles, namely the wood element magic flame, the dark element magic flame and the fire element magic flame.

Locke threw different materials into different crucibles without changing his expression. The wood element magic flame was mainly used to extract the main materials of the potion, and the dark element magic flame was specifically used to extract the effective ingredients in the biological materials of the abyss demon.

The magic flame of the fire element is extracted from the marble jellyfish added to the improved formula.

Six hours later, Locke mixed the processed liquids in the three crucibles and poured them all into a glass gourd-shaped potion bottle.

Then, the three different colored liquids in the potion bottle mixed with each other and turned into a pure black liquid. Moreover, this liquid quickly froze in the ice-attributed magic flame in Locke’s hand and turned into a smoothie.

Locke put the bottle under his nose, sniffed it, then used a straw to draw a drop of potion and dropped it on the table. Suddenly, a black spot appeared on the wooden table.

Upon closer inspection, the black spot turned out to be the burnt surface of the wooden table. It even had a slight smell of sulfur and sparks were flashing.

“Success.” Locke looked at the Hand of Tanar’li potion in his hand. Taking this potion requires strong physical fitness, otherwise just drinking it will turn you into a pile of charcoal due to the strong medicinal properties of the potion.

Locke rubbed his eyebrows. After all, he had just prepared a bottle of first-level potion, which consumed quite a lot of energy.

He took out a bottle of apprentice-level energy potion from the star ring and drank it, replenishing his energy slightly.

Locke observed the other potion masters and found that about one-third of them had their equipment ready.

But more potion masters were racking their brains, trying to achieve perfection and find a clever way to concoct a complete healing potion to take first place in this test.

Locke had no choice but to wait in the potion room for a while. Then he thought about it, walked outside, took some materials, and continued to prepare the potion.

The Plutarch family didn’t seem to care about such a small amount of resources. Since he had to wait for the rest of the day anyway, he might as well use the abundant potion materials outside to practice and prepare a few bottles of potions for self-defense.

A day later, Locke prepared 2 bottles of Fire Fury potion, plus the 15 bottles of Fire Fury potion stored in his star ring, he now has 17 bottles of Fire Fury potion.

Funny enough, the raw materials for these potions all came from the Plutarch family.

One day later, all thirty-seven potion masters had submitted their works.

The old butler of the Plutarch family walked into the potion room where Locke was, bowed respectfully to him, and said, “Wizard Augustine, my master, the great wizard Sura, would like to see the Fire Fury potion you prepared.”

Locke was surprised and said, “I just made the Flame Fury Potion when I was free. I didn’t expect that the great wizard Sura would notice it.”

“Okay then, I’ll hand over both bottles.”

The butler wizard quickly shook his head. “You misunderstood. All the potions brewed here belong to you. They are gifts from our Plutarch family to all the potion masters.”

“It’s just that Master Sura thinks that since you’ve configured it, and you did it during the testing process, why not send him a bottle of Fire Fury Potion? Master Sura is also very curious about your level of potion knowledge.”

Locke nodded. “I see. I was overthinking it. Okay.”

Locke placed a bottle of Fire Fury potion on the tray in the butler wizard’s hand. The tray was already full of potion bottles, all of which were the works of thirty-seven potion masters.

Soon, all thirty-seven potion masters gathered in the living room again.

The butler wizard went up the stairs, passed through the illusion school’s maze magic, went up to the second floor, and had a conversation with the wizard upstairs.

Soon, he came down from the second floor, followed by a witch.

The butler wizard introduced everyone, “Dear distinguished guests, this witch is the little princess of our Plutarch family. She is also a genius in potion making and even won first place in the Apprentice-level Potions Competition in the Southeastern Region.”

“She will be the judge for this test.”

“Whether you are a wizard who stays or leaves with regret, you are all guests of my Plutarch family. You can take away the potions you brew here, and my Plutarch family can pay for your return boat tickets.”

Alicia, wearing an amaranth red wide-sleeved wizard robe, walked down the stairs with a serious expression. In the family, she wore a silver crown of bloodline on her head, and her appearance looked much more mature, adding a sense of majesty.

When Alicia saw Locke in the crowd, she was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then walked to the tray in the butler wizard’s hand, opened a bottle of potion and began to smell it carefully.

Alicia frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with the quality of the potion. In fact, it was hardly a potion. It was just a mixture of some ingredients, trying to squeeze out as much of the natural healing magic ingredients as possible.

It is more convenient to chew the herbs directly than to drink this kind of stuff.

Alicia shook her head slightly. In her opinion, although her grandfather’s test was a little perverted, and for some reason, the criteria required of her for judgment were also a little strange.

But even so, it is not difficult to prepare a suitable therapeutic potion from this pile of materials.

Alicia glanced at the pile of potion materials here, and several potion formulas that could be combined suddenly appeared in her mind.

She sniffed several bottles of potion in a row, frowning and shaking her head. Then she picked up the bottle of potion made by Santos, sniffed it, thought for a moment, and still shook her head slightly.

Santos’s expression suddenly changed and became ugly.

Alicia picked up the gourd-shaped potion bottle, glanced at Locke, and sniffed it. “This is… you changed the recipe for the Hand of Tanar’ri potion? It’s a low-grade ingredient, but changing it would be a major change.”

“It’s only a fine line away from creating a new medicine.”

Core materials and secondary materials are the main body of this recipe, while marginal materials and auxiliary materials are generally replaced more frequently by wizards.

Although both are formula modifications, the degree of change in modifying core materials and secondary materials is much higher than that in modifying edge materials and auxiliary materials.

Alicia opened the Fire Fury potion that Locke had prepared. “It’s amazing! You added the magical flame of the wood element to it, making this potion create a conflict between light and darkness, water and fire, and death and life.”

“In this way, its power can be increased by more than half out of thin air.”

Alicia nodded. She had always recognized Locke’s strength in potions.

Especially these two works.

The recipes for these two potions should have been given to Locke by her a month ago, but who would have known that he would improve the recipes for two first-ring potions of high quality in just one month.

Over the next half hour, Alicia tasted all the potions and then made her judgment.

She chose three potions masters to stay.

That is, out of thirty-seven potion masters, only three can be selected.

One of them was Locke, one was the young centaur potion master, and one was a human witch.

Santos in the Spiral Basin watched this scene with a grim expression, nearly fuming to death. “Are you kidding me, you foolish Plutarch family?”

“With the Potions skills of these three people, can they surpass me in making healing potions? And is that stupid centaur qualified? Can he even figure out where to put his hooves when he sleeps at night!”

The young Centaur wizard was also surprised by his selection. When he saw how difficult the test questions were, he gave up and chose to make an elemental incense, which he was best at.

That elemental incense can make the body of anyone who smells it be contaminated with the power of elements, enhancing the magic of the four elements of feng shui, fire and earth.

Unexpectedly, it actually passed.

Wizard Santos’ face darkened with rage as he turned and walked away. “There’s definitely something fishy going on. I’m the wizard with the most profound knowledge of healing and alchemy here, and yet they chose those three instead of me.”

“Which of them prepared a healing potion? Among all the potions, only mine can barely be considered a healing potion.”

Alicia said to him coldly, “Master Santos, please take your time. But just now, the great wizard Sura used the illusion school’s sound transmission technique to tell me that you are indeed not the potion master he chose.”

“No matter how outstanding your talents are, unfortunately, the Plutarch family does not need you. If you continue to insult the Plutarch family, you will violate the laws established by the White Wizard Association of the Six Towers.”
