Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 417

Chapter 415 The Second Test

In the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion, Locke took out all the potions made with materials from the Quetzalcoatl Pavilion from the Star Ring.

The half-dragon wizard walked over, took a look, opened a bottle of potion and smelled it carefully, “Good quality.”

He glanced at the three potions, finding only about five bottles of each. A hint of disappointment crossed his eyes. “Thank you, Alchemist Augustine, for participating in this test. It’s a shame you only received fifteen of each ingredient. A one-third success rate isn’t bad, and the quality is pretty good, but it still doesn’t meet our requirements.”

The emotion that appeared on the half-dragon wizard’s face quickly faded and became indifferent again. He glanced at the five bottles of blue potion and frowned immediately.

Because among the five bottles of blue potion, two were different from the common blue potion and were filled with transparent bubbles. He opened one of the bottles and smelled it carefully, and then he suddenly drank the blue potion.

In just a moment, under the effect of the first-ring potion, his body quickly turned blue, and the gray dragon scales belonging to reptiles all over his body also turned from gray to blue.

After transforming into a djinn, the half-dragon wizard frowned. “You added a secondary ingredient, rush, though I don’t know the exact amount. You also added more than one special temperature adjustment, thus enhancing the effects of this blue potion.”

Bits of stardust lingered around him like powder. That was the unique power of the djinn, a magical power condensed from the power of wishes, a special state of magical power.

The blue potion originated from the large plane [Golden Desert], a traditional subsidiary plane of the wizarding world that has been conquered by the wizarding world for more than a thousand years.

That plane is full of fantastic objects such as lamp spirits, fairies, and lamps made of little people in bottles. That world is of the low magic and high martial arts type.

That is, the magic tide of the entire world is relatively sparse, and magic is a secret to the entire world, but the magic tide is concentrated in the hands of a few people, so that world has many strong people.

The half-dragon wizard said, “The effect of this potion has been enhanced by at least one third.”

A ball of lightning-attributed magic flame appeared under the half-dragon wizard’s gray wizard robe. Under the rapid extraction effect of the lightning-attributed magic flame, the medicinal effects of the blue potion and almost all the spell toxicity in his body were expelled from his body.

The half-dragon wizard’s body quickly returned to its original state, and the dragon scales on his body turned gray and returned to their original state.

When Locke saw this scene, he was slightly stunned, and then he remembered an article he had read, which described a so-called potion master who could use magic flames to quickly expel potions from his body. In this way, the potion master could ignore a considerable number of poison-type potions.

Logically speaking, although my skills in manipulating magical flames have not reached this level, I can do the same thing, or even better, as I have the primordial fire.

The half-dragon wizard gave Locke a slight half-bow. “I’m sorry, Alchemist Augustine, I didn’t realize you’d improved the formulas for three potions.”

“The three potion recipes have all been improved to some extent, which is really rare. Compared to this, the slightly smaller quantity is just an insignificant matter.”

The half-dragon wizard became even more enthusiastic about Locke. “Potion masters like you are the kind we at Quetzalcoatl are happy to serve.”

“The Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion only serves talented alchemists. We have the support of a great figure from the Star Region Sea. Our main purpose is to improve the basic level of certain specialized alchemy disciplines.”

“You can think of this as that great man’s attempt to fine-tune the future development of wizarding civilization through artificial financial investment, allowing it to move in a specific direction he desires. That great man has an almost infinite lifespan, and therefore he is full of patience.”

“First- and second-ring wizards are the cornerstones of wizard civilization, the foundation, and the future of wizard civilization. Therefore, the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion will actively support alchemy geniuses at this stage and help them grow better.”

As he spoke, the half-dragon wizard had already used a light transmitter to transmit the test results to the headquarters of the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion in the Star Sea.

Five minutes later, news came from the optical transmitter.

The half-dragon wizard glanced at the letter and said, “Potion Master Augustine, headquarters would like to grant you the same benefits as a C-level member and allow you to enjoy the training program that comes with being a C-level member.”

Locke asked, “What is the training plan for the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion?”

“Don’t we need to sign any contract?”

The half-dragon wizard said, “No need. Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion is just an ordinary shop, neither the Academy of True Knowledge nor a wizard academy.”

“We just want to entrust you to make a potion. In fact, it still requires a series of tests. If you agree, this can be given to you.”

“This is the new potion formula and list of ingredients. Unlike previous tests, you can keep all the potions you make this time. You only need to provide proof of successful brewing.”

The half-dragon wizard said, “This is a series of tests. If you fail to meet the standards once, the test will be terminated immediately. Each new test will become more difficult than the previous one.”

“The difficulty of completing the test will become increasingly higher, until one day you are unable to complete the test. We will proactively terminate the test and give up on your training.”

“Of course, you also have the right to terminate the test at any time. You only need to stop submitting the test results.”

“The Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion is spread across every wizarding land, so you don’t need to worry about not being able to submit the completion certificate in a certain area in a timely manner.”

Locke took a look at the half-dragon wizard and frowned slightly. It seemed that there was a big secret behind this ancient Quetzalcoatl Pavilion.

But since it is something beneficial, there is no need to refuse.

Locke took the envelope from the other party and scanned the potion formula on it. It turned out to be a formula for an abyss potion called [Mastermind Control Potion].

In this information, the other party provided him with a total of thirty portions of materials for the Mastermind Control Potion, and required him to refine at least fifteen bottles within a year, which would be considered as completing the test and allowing him to enter the next test.

It is worth mentioning that there is a requirement above – the primordial fire cannot be used for refining, and all the main brain control potions must be refined by one’s own ability.

The primordial fire contains primordial power, so once this fire is used for refining, there will definitely be a little bit of primordial power remaining in the potion, which is very easy to identify.

Locke looked strange as he read the introduction of the Mastermind Control Potion, because the greatest function of the Mastermind Control Potion was to unlock the potential of the wizard’s brain and enhance the wizard’s psychic power. This was a potion used to increase psychic power.

For other wizards, this function might be rare and of no particular use. But for me, who relies on a distributed psychic network to maintain the magic of the forest sanctuary, this potion is of great use to me.

But at the same time, Locke was secretly suspicious. ‘Did the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion conduct a background check on me? Or, more simply, did they use some kind of prophecy magic on me?’

‘How else would they know I needed this potion? Or was it just a coincidence?’

“Forget it. It’s just a partnership, and it’s good for me. A background check is just routine.”
