Chapter 319 Alchemy

The screams in the room did not weaken over time; instead, they became increasingly agonizing.

But strangely enough...

With only a thin wooden board separating them, not a sound could be heard from the next room.

The Blue Dog brothers lay curled up on the ground, surrounded by two venomous snakes and dozens of large, fiery red ants crawling into their clothes and gnawing at their flesh.

Fire ants!

Magical creatures.

These fire ants are most fond of the flesh and blood of living creatures, and their teeth contain venom, making their bites extremely painful.

The two brothers were convulsing from the torture, but dared not reach out to slap him, for fear of angering Jeff.

Their patience eased Jeff's anger slightly.

"I'll give you another chance."

Standing up, Jeff casually tossed aside a 'healing potion', then expressionlessly pushed open the door and walked out.

"Don't disappoint me, if Lynn is still alive..."

"You'll be the ones who die!"

"Yes." The leader of the Blue Dogs trembled and nodded hurriedly.

"Sir, rest assured, this time we will definitely see him take his last breath before he leaves this world."

"Hmm," Jeff hummed softly.

"That would be best."

Sometime later, the venomous snakes and fire ants disappeared, and the two people covered in pustules helped each other to their feet.

"Damn it!"

The second son cursed under his breath:

"How could that guy not be dead?"

"Maybe his heart is somewhere else, or maybe he used some kind of disguise." The leader's face was grim.

"No matter what, we need to do it cleanly and efficiently this time!"

"Big brother." The second brother's expression twisted, and he kept gasping for breath:

"You said he's just a fresh-faced apprentice fresh out of school, why is Jeff so determined to target him?"

"Do we still need to do it ourselves?"

"He's from the academy after all; it's always inconvenient for him to take action." The eldest brother shook his head, and they walked outside together.

"As for why I killed him..."

"I guess Lynn offended someone at the academy, which is why he got into this mess."

Jeff had long since left the academy and had his own businesses outside, so it was impossible for him to have any conflict with Lynn.

"never mind."

The second son, unwilling to think further, grinned and said:

"Let's heal our injuries first, and then find an opportunity to take him out. It seems Jeff is really angry this time."

The eldest brother nodded.

They were just a bunch of shady wizards begging for a living in town, and they dared not offend Jeff, who had a powerful background.

Even Jeff was just a tool of some big shot.

"call……"

Lynn exhaled a long breath, stretched his limbs, and silently felt the changes in his body.

"I've finally reached the level of an intermediate wizard apprentice."

After adjusting his meditation technique, Lynn's mental strength will improve rapidly for a period of time. Lynn had been studying at the academy for many years, so it was only natural that he would advance to the intermediate wizard level.

of course,

He has reached the level of mental strength, but has not yet mastered the third zero-ring witchcraft.

"Strengthening one's mental power not only increases the power of witchcraft, but also makes one's control over the body more precise and flexible."

With a light tap of his ten fingers, he moved so fast that even a wandering poet playing the zither would be amazed.

But that's only secondary.

Lynn approached the medicine furnace, flicked his finger to ignite the magical fire within, and the enchanted spells cast upon it began to circulate.

This medicine furnace is the most valuable legacy left by the original owner.

Worth seventeen magic stones!

Moreover, it was purchased from a well-known VIP at a discounted price.

If it's the complete version, it would probably cost thirty or forty magic stones.

The original owner planned to leave the academy and make a living by concocting potions, but unfortunately, he didn't have much talent for it.

"He refused to give up his spiritual practice, leaving him with nothing to offer on either front."

Shaking his head, Lynn cut off a piece of acanthus, a laurel petal, and a few drops of belladonna juice and tossed them into the medicine cauldron.

Watch the heat carefully and time it precisely.

Add ingredients from time to time until a faint, pleasant fragrance fills the air.

This is a critical moment. The Tranquility Potion is colorless and odorless; if it has a smell, it means that its quality is not high.

The aroma needs to be subdued before it's considered complete.

The original system kept making mistakes here, resulting in wasted materials and no output, but things are different now.

"Whoosh!"

Lynn systematically threw several magical materials with a faint magical power into the furnace and manipulated the magical fire to melt them.

After a while.

"Whoosh..."

A colorless and odorless liquid flowed out from the hole on the side of the medicine furnace and poured into the prepared bottle.

Tranquility Potion

become!

"call……"

Lynn touched the sweat on his forehead, his eyes gleaming:

"It seems that crafting potions takes even more effort than creating spell models, but thankfully it's finished."

Turning his head to the side.

There were a few bottles of medicine nearby.

Tranquility is the most commonly used auxiliary potion among Viper Academy apprentices, which helps stabilize mental energy.

The price is one Magic Stone Fragment per item.

Lynn had previously purchased materials for five magic stone fragments; a qualified apothecary can make a potion containing at least one magic stone.

Don't feel that the returns are great.

In reality, brewing potions requires not only materials but also mental energy, magical fire, and various consumables.

Even if you double your money, the returns will only be average.

And Lynn...

"Twenty portions!"

After checking the received goods, a smile appeared on his face:

"This rate of return is excellent even among pharmacists, but these kinds of pharmacists probably wouldn't be interested in Tranquility Potion."

"In short..."

"I won't have to worry about not being able to repay my college loans anymore."

…………

market.

The proprietress, Mandy, examined the eight vials of medicine in front of her, raising an eyebrow slightly:

"Sure!"

"You've made good progress." She put away the potion, took out eight magic stone fragments and handed them over, taking the opportunity to wipe Lynn's hand, and said with a grin:

"To break even so quickly and even make an extra profit, it looks like I'll have a stable income next month."

"Money or materials?"

"Materials, I suppose." Lynn sighed, a look of exhaustion on his face.

"I have no choice but to do this to survive, but it seems my talent for potion making is much stronger than my talent for cultivation."

"That's right." Mandy nodded.

"But don't underestimate pharmacists. Excellent pharmacists are even more sought after than formal wizards."

"Well……"

"Once you have enough experience, you can try making a silencing potion."

One magic stone for one potion of silence?

Lynn nodded slowly.

He walked out of the shop, slung the materials over his shoulder, touched the magic stone fragments in his pocket, and a smile appeared on his face.

Instead of selling all the concoctions to Mandy, which was a safer option, she chose to sell them in smaller batches.

Therefore, he currently has more than one magic stone.

"Lynn".

A cheerful voice came from the other side.

Lynn looked up at the sound and saw a man and a woman walking towards her, one after the other.

The man was tall and strong, with toad-like bumps on his face, clearly a side effect of bloodline witchcraft.

"Darnell." Lynn nodded, looking at the woman:

"Isaiah is here too."

Darnell and Isaiah were both wizarding apprentices in the same cohort as him, and they also failed the academy's examination.

However, the two also have differences.

Darnell failed, while Isaiah was an intermediate wizard apprentice. It was unclear why he failed, but it was said that he had offended a senior wizard apprentice and was thus sabotaged.

It's been a while since we last met.

Darnell put his arm around Lynn's shoulder with a warm smile and laughed heartily:

"What have you been busy with lately?"

"Recovering from my injuries." Lynn smiled faintly.

"I went to the black market and was ambushed by a dark wizard. I almost died and have been recuperating ever since."

"What?" Isaiah's expression changed:

"How could you go to the black market? It's too dangerous there."

"Uh..." Darnell scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"I was the one who told him. I didn't know we'd be in danger. It's my fault. I'll buy you a drink."

"Never mind." Lynn touched his chest.

"My injury hasn't healed yet, so I can't drink alcohol."

"Are you alright?" Isaiah asked with concern.

"Have you had a doctor check your injuries? What about the loan payment at the end of the month? Do you need me to lend you some magic stones?"

Among the female apprentices of the same class, none disliked Lynn's outstanding appearance, not even the introverted Isaiah.

Darnell, standing to the side, instinctively shook hands with him.

He had been pursuing Isaiah and deliberately created an opportunity to "bump into" her, but she remained indifferent to his attitude.

On the contrary, he was unusually enthusiastic when he saw Lynn.

"No need," Lynn shook her head.

"During this time, I've been recuperating from my injuries while learning how to make potions, and I'm now able to support myself by making potions."

"And Susan lent me the magic stone."

"Susan..." Isaiah pursed her lips:

"She doesn't have many magic stones on her. If you need any, you can contact me. I'm currently doing hunting quests."

"Hunting?" Lynn frowned.

"The kind of mission that requires leaving town seems very dangerous."

"It's alright," Isaiah said with a smile.

"I've been studying this kind of knowledge at the academy, so I can handle it. The key is that the pay is good."

……

After exchanging a few words, the group said their goodbyes and left.

Darnell?

Lynn stroked his chin. He hadn't thought that much about it before, but now that he thought about it, the original owner of this body could have barely made a living without going to the black market.

No matter what.

Even if you borrow money, you can get by for a year or two.

Darnell's words, however, ignited his competitive spirit, prompting him to seek opportunities in the black market, which in turn attracted the attention of a dark wizard.

coincidence?

Turning around, Lynn's eyes flickered slightly as he walked to a stall filled with martial arts weapons and casually picked up a knight's sword.

"How much is this sword?"

"Two fragments of magic stone."

"Bought it!"

Lynn took out the magic stone fragment and bought the knight's sword.
