Chapter 255 The Duel

The materials were much cheaper than those from the college, but the final product cost twice as much!

At the academy, Yaro also exchanged for the recipe for purification potions, but after investigating the market, he found that the profit margin was very low. Compared to the time cost, it was better to just buy the finished potions directly, so he did not learn how to refine them.

Yaro suddenly realized.

"With so many people practicing potion-making in the academy, and purification potions being an essential potion for wizards, it's a must-learn skill, so the production volume must be very high. Naturally, they'll sell it as soon as they make a profit."

Making assumptions is never advisable. Yaro had always stayed in the academy and never ventured out into the outside world, so his considerations on many issues were naturally flawed.

Yaro said to the weathered old man, "Bring me a weighing instrument, ten crystal test tubes, three mixing rods, and a refining dish..."

"Preparing to study pharmacy? Great, how many sets of materials do you need?"

Yaro gritted his teeth: "Give me twenty sets!"

The materials for twenty sets of purification potions cost only fifteen magic stones, but the cost for the first six finished products was thirty magic stones!

If you know how to craft them, thirty magic stones are enough to make forty purification potions, which can truly be drunk like water!

The weathered old man laughed even more heartily: "Good, good, good! Adding those tools, that makes a total of twenty-three magic stones."

Yaro could naturally see the schadenfreude in the old man's eyes, but he believed that he had a certain foundation in pharmacology because of his long experimental experience in his previous life and the special training he received from his grandfather in his childhood.

"If all else fails, just throw money at it! If twenty sets aren't enough, try forty, and if that doesn't work, try a hundred! I can't give up on magic in the short term, and my consumption on purification potions is definitely huge. As long as I learn how to make this potion, I can't possibly lose money!" With that thought, Yaro first placed the six finished potions close to his body, and then neatly stacked the other containers in his bundle.

After counting the number of magic stones, the weathered old man looked at Yaro and said with a smile, "Guest, if you succeed in refining them, you can consider selling them to me. I will buy them for three magic stones each. As long as you keep refining them successfully, you will be able to obtain magic stones continuously."

Yaro paused, looking at the face wrinkled like an old chrysanthemum, and felt a strange chill run down his spine.

One hundred sets... can I really learn them all?

Noticing Yaro's hesitation, the weathered old man quickly put away the magic stone, adding, "Items sold are non-refundable!"

……All right.

"I wasn't planning on backing out either!" Yaro retorted irritably.

I already had the recipe for the purification potion, and with so many chances to try and fail, I'm sure I can make it successfully!

Encouraging himself in this way, Yaro grabbed the increasingly bulging bundle, slung it over his shoulder, and strode out amidst the old man's call of "Come again next time."

The enchanted items I bought before weren't expensive, and they didn't take up much space. But this time, I bought too many raw materials from the potion shop, plus various tools. Now my bag was bulging, and it kept bumping and rattling as I walked, making a crisp sound that attracted all sorts of glances from passersby.

Yaro, however, was fearless. He carried six bottles of purification potion and wore heavy armor. If he encountered danger, he could activate the second level of the magic technique - Phoenix Feather - at any time. With combat power, he had confidence!

"After all... we can't just not buy things we need because of potential risks, right?"

Even if they don't buy the materials for refining purification potions, Yaro will still need to purchase various extraordinary metals later. Those metals will be the main source of magic stone consumption, and the space required will also be very large. The spying they are encountering now will also be unavoidable in the future.

As he continued walking, Yaro noticed that the number of people in robes passing by was gradually increasing. Relying on his ability to sense heart rate while running in his cat-like fist form, Yaro could even detect that many of them were repeating the same route.

"Hey, brother!" Yaro suddenly called out to a group of wizard apprentices who were patrolling the street.

The leading apprentice in black robes turned around and looked over: "What's wrong?"

"Is fighting allowed here?" Yaro asked with a smile, his dark skin giving him a somewhat simple and honest appearance.

The black-robed apprentice narrowed his eyes slightly: "No! Not only in the market, but there can be no fighting within a ten-mile radius! Anyone who makes a move will be making an enemy of the Mannheim family!"

"Is that so?" After a moment's thought, Yaro smiled at the onlookers in front of the patrol team and said in a friendly tone, "Don't rush. If you want my magic stones or my life, you can wait for me at the mount dock. I still need to buy some things. I'll call you when I'm done."

"Let's go out together so as not to cause any trouble for the host family."

A brief commotion erupted in the crowd, and several passersby quietly slipped away. Then, a low, husky voice came from somewhere: "What if you quietly ran away?"

Faced with such provocation, the black-robed apprentice shouted sternly, "Who's there! Show yourself!"

Whoosh!

The other patrols raised their wands of various colors. Each wand had a large sphere at the top, and judging from the size of the sphere alone, these wands were likely skull wands, simply wrapped in an outer shell for decoration.

The six apprentices, each wielding a wand with a human head, were of unpredictable fighting prowess.

After all, if they were all wielding the skull wands of advanced apprentices, they could instantly cast many advanced apprentice spells. If all six attacked at the same time, an ordinary advanced apprentice would be taken down in one move.

Those who were genuinely there to watch the spectacle quickened their pace and hurried away, while some with ulterior motives also slipped away quietly.

"Don't rush, don't rush!" Yaro stopped the black-robed apprentice leading the group. "They haven't even made a move yet, have they? It's just talk, it's alright, it's alright!"

After calming the patrol, Yaro shouted to the dispersing crowd, "I'm going to the alchemy shop on the right to buy materials. I'll be gone soon, so don't worry!"

This is the closest extraordinary market to Perrin Castle. Yarrow will definitely come here to shop many times in the future. Rather than going through endless trouble, let's make the most of this opportunity!

With purification potions, fighting is... as delicious as a sweet treat!

From what Ian said earlier about "Yarro's Last Move", it can be seen that the so-called Record Stone should only record the time when he released "Star River Surge", and the subsequent "Phoenix Spreads Feathers" was not revealed.

Furthermore, with people like Ian who deliberately imitate others, even if I use some of 'Yaro Gara's' techniques, no one can see through them at a glance.

In this case, there's no need to worry anymore!

"Just do it!"
