Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 60: Basic Transformation Potion!

Ronan immediately asked Paul to explain alchemy to him, hoping to find a way to strengthen the Azure Spirit Sword.

After Paul spoke for a while, Ronan learned that there were roughly two methods for using alchemy to enhance weapons and magical artifacts.

One method is to integrate it into the magic ore.

Magic ore is a type of mineral in the wizarding world that can transmit magical energy.

Obsidian, the building material for the wizard's tower of the legendary wizard Dolifa Augustus, is a magical mineral.

This stone has very little resistance to the transmission of magic, and can be engraved with many magical patterns and can bear many magical formations.

Another method is to carve magic patterns.

According to Paul, magic runes are similar to talismans in the world of cultivation, both capable of carrying extraordinary power between heaven and earth.

There are several categories of magic runes, some researched by wizards, and others left behind by the elves, namely elven runes.

Paul spoke at length about these rudimentary facts, his saliva flying everywhere.

When Ronan asked him how to do it specifically, Paul was immediately speechless.

He simply used fire magic to help other alchemy apprentices integrate the magic ore, following their instructions.

Paul didn't know much about the specifics of how to integrate the magic ore and carve magic runes.

He had studied elven runes for a while, but later found that his fire magic was progressing faster, so he devoted himself to studying fire magic.

Ronan had known Paul for quite some time.

He knew this kid loved to brag.

When Paul said he knew a lot about alchemy, Ronan had no expectations.

"Is there any way for me to learn about alchemy?" Ronan asked immediately.

Paul ran his hand through his bird's nest-like, messy hair, scratching himself.

"The academy's library does have books on alchemy, but you can't write on them or take them out, and outsiders aren't allowed to enter the library..."

"Sigh, those alchemical incantations and magic runes are difficult to even understand. If I had to memorize them... I wouldn't need to study other witchcraft..."

Paul murmured to Ronan, and suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes:
"If you can get into the library, that will be fine."

"You have a solution?" Ronan's eyes lit up.

If he could access the library of the Kingdom Wizarding Academy and acquire knowledge, it would be much easier.

"I've come up with an idea, but implementing it won't be easy," Paul said.

"That is to use a transformation potion to transform into my appearance, and then use my college badge to enter the library."

"Can you get your hands on the formula for the transformation potion?" Ronan's eyes lit up.

Transformation potions are forbidden in the Kingdom of Valant.

Because after taking the transformation potion, the user's body and aura become completely identical to the person being impersonated.

In the history of the Kingdom of Valant, there are several bloody cases committed by vicious black wizards using shapeshifting potions.

Therefore, the kingdom issued a decree prohibiting the production of transformation potions.

Furthermore, the royal family dispatched spies to find out which family or school possessed the formula for the transformation potion. If they did, they confiscated it and burned it.

Nowadays, transformation potions have almost disappeared from the kingdom.

Paul glanced at Ronan and said in a low voice, "I do know someone whose family has a formula for a basic transformation potion."

"He recently wanted this basic transformation potion."

"However, it is very difficult to refine a basic transformation potion."

"Even if he had the recipe, he couldn't make it himself."

"He knew I had a wide network of connections, so he wanted me to find him a good alchemist to help him refine a basic transformation potion."

"I can try to get the recipe for you, but if you manage to make it, you'll have to give him a copy."

“Okay.” Ronan nodded.

So Paul tidied himself up, got dressed, and went out. After Paul left, Ronan sat down on the sofa in Paul's living room.

I poured myself a glass of wine and pondered as I drank it.

—After he got the formula, should he actually give that person a portion of the initial-level transformation potion he made?
After all, he didn't know how that person used the basic transformation potion.

If that person used a basic transformation potion to commit the crime, it would implicate him.

……

Paul returned more than an hour later.

He took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Ronan.

Ronan glanced at it; the parchment had crooked handwriting on it, recording a potion recipe, and the ink was still fresh.

It must have been not long ago that person copied it down.

“Take a look. If you can make it, give him a portion,” Paul said.

Ronan took the parchment and asked, "Do you know what he's going to do with the basic transformation potion?"

Paul listened and shook his head.

Ronan said, "Even if I were to refine it, I don't intend to give it to him. If he were to use the low-level transformation potion to commit a crime, it would put us in danger."

Paul said, "However, he provided the formula, but he can't get the basic transformation potion. In his anger, he might report me to the Wizarding Council."

Ronan asked, "What about his family?"

Paul said, "His family has a third-level wizard apprentice, which makes them an upper-class noble family in the Southwest Province."

“That’s good. His family is so big.” Ronan said, “If the matter of the low-level transformation potion is exposed, he will implicate his family, and he himself will suffer even greater losses.”

“You reminded him of this point. As long as he remains rational, he won’t report it to the Wizarding Council.”

"How about this," Ronan said after a moment's thought.
"Just tell them that the person you found can't refine the basic transformation potion in a short time."

"However, we are making progress every day, and I believe we will be able to refine the basic transformation potion soon."

"Just leave him hanging like that."

"Wait until he actually threatens to report you before explaining the pros and cons to him."

“Okay,” Paul agreed.

In terms of closeness, Ronan was closer to him, so he naturally favored Ronan.

Ronan then left Paul's residence to collect materials for refining the basic transformation potion.

Although he had only glanced at it a few times.

But with the help of AI HarmonyOS, all the information on the parchment has been imprinted in his mind.

The basic transformation potion is not only difficult to refine, but the materials required for its refinement are also quite demanding.

He summoned Hongmeng and retrieved the main materials for refining the initial-level transformation potion:
Male and female lacewings;
Killer leeches;
Sap-covered grass picked on a moonlit night;

Two-ear grass picked at dawn;

The horn of a two-horned beast ground into powder;

Fragments of the snakeskin of the human-faced tree snake.

Lacewings and killer leeches are both creatures of the forest; he had heard Awen mention them before.

Lacewings are generally found in the Warcraft Forest.

The killer leeches can be found in the woods by the sea in Triumph City.

He had to collect both of these items.

The other four materials are not cheap.

Of course, for someone as wealthy as him, the latter four materials are actually the most convenient.
