Wizard: I Have a Nightmare World

Lin watched as the mixed bloodstone powder and snake saliva were poured into the main medicinal liquid.

The moment the two came into contact, the surface of the liquid began to churn violently, with a large number of fine bubbles rising from the bottom, and a scorching heat wafted over.

Lynn steadied his wrist, stirred the liquid at a steady pace, and stared intently at the color changes of the liquid.

Deep red...dark red...bright red...

Five seconds later, the liquid gradually stabilized, eventually turning into a deep reddish-brown, with a layer of oily sheen appearing on its surface.

Become!

Lynn put down the beaker and exhaled a long breath.

He carefully examined the vial of medicine in his hand. Although it did not have the perfect silvery-white halo of a hemostatic medicine, its color was uniform and its texture was clear, indicating that it had reached an excellent quality.

"Not bad, I only got to the starting point on my seventeenth try!"

Lynn put the potion aside and, without stopping to rest, continued making it for the eighteenth time.

He wants to hone this success rate to 100% in the nightmare world.

Working through the night without rest.

When the morning bell rang, Lynn opened her eyes in bed and felt refreshed and energetic, without any signs of fatigue.

After a quick wash, Lynn pushed open the door and found that the courtyard outside the incubation room was piled with various building materials.

A short, stout man in gray overalls was standing at the door. When he saw Lynn come out, he quickly came to greet him.

"Mr. Lynn! I am Barton, the head of the apothecary's construction team, here on orders from Supervisor Harvey to expand your incubation facility!"

"This is the expansion plan. Please take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be adjusted?"

The short, stout man, Patton, smiled broadly and respectfully handed over a blueprint.

Lynn glanced at the blueprints.

The original plan, which only included one bedroom and a cultivation room for medicinal herbs, was divided into three separate areas.

A 30-square-meter studio equipped with ventilation ducts and a drainage system.

A 20-square-meter material storage room with constant temperature and moisture-proof functions.

Finally, there is a small study room, with a desk and bookshelves reserved by the window.

"Add another backup ventilation duct to the studio."

"The temperature control zone in the material storage room should ideally be divided into sections, as the storage temperatures for herbs and minerals are different."

Barton paused for a moment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, then nodded quickly.

"No problem, Mr. Lynn is quite the expert! I'll adjust the plan right away!"

Over the next three days, Lynn's incubation room entered a period of bustling construction.

During this time, Lynn was not idle either.

During the day, while supervising the construction, he flipped through the books "Basic Herbalism" and "Introduction to Potions" borrowed from the apothecary, gradually filling in the gaps in his theoretical knowledge.

He discovered that while repeated practice in the nightmare world allowed him to quickly master practical skills, without the support of corresponding theoretical knowledge, he could only rely on trial and error to figure out unfamiliar recipes, which was extremely inefficient.

In this situation, Lynn made a plan for himself:

You should master the complete medicinal properties of at least ten herbs every day, memorize five basic potion reaction formulas, and complete a new rune outline in meditation.

Three days later, as Barton left with the engineering team, Lynn stood in front of the newly renovated incubation room, looking at his own studio and rows of brand-new equipment, feeling a sense of peace and contentment.

Walking to the workbench in the studio, Lynn picked up the brand-new jade knife placed on it and weighed it in her hand for a few moments.

This jade knife is much heavier than the one I bought, and the blade is also slightly sharper, but it doesn't feel as comfortable to hold as the one I bought.

"With these, we don't have to make do like before."

Lynn's gaze swept over the brand-new equipment, but he did not discard his old equipment because of these new ones.

He arranged the equipment in their respective positions according to their categories, then clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

In the days that followed, Lynn's life began to become extremely regular.

In the morning, he would tend to the growing herbs in the herb garden, which now belonged to him, and these herbs were naturally Lynn's wealth.

Therefore, Lynn became extra attentive to the care of the herbs.

After tending to the herbs, he would return to his workshop and practice brewing the [Boiled Blood Potion] using the materials provided by Harvey, verifying the experience he had accumulated in the Nightmare World in reality.

During this period, all the potions produced were handed over to Harvey to sell.

According to Lynn's research, the Boiling Blood Potion is very popular among wizard apprentices and is priced at only three hundred gold coins.

This price is an extremely high cost for someone who has not become a wizard apprentice or herbalist apprentice.

But for wizard apprentices who can perform zero-ring tricks and possess a certain amount of extraordinary power, it is not a problem at all.

So whenever Harvey put Lynn's potions on the shelves, they would be sold out in no time.

Some wizard apprentices who failed to purchase the [Boiling Blood Potion] would leave a deposit so that Harvey would inform them as soon as new stock arrived.

Under these circumstances, Lynn's wealth continued to accumulate, and he went from being penniless to becoming rich in an instant.

After making the [Boiled Blood Potion], he would quickly fill his stomach at lunchtime, and then spend four hours reading books borrowed from the apothecary and taking detailed notes in his study.

As dusk falls, it's time for meditation, and I continue sketching out my unfinished second meditation rune.

At midnight, Lynn would enter the nightmare world again, honing his skills through endless trial and error.

Under this high-intensity pace, Lynn's progress was astonishingly rapid.

On the fifth day, Lynn successfully completed the second meditation rune.

In the space of consciousness, the second rune echoed the first rune, forming a faint resonance.

Lynn's mental strength jumped directly from 0.5 to 0.8.

On the seventh day, Lynn was able to concoct the [Boiling Blood Potion] completely with his eyes closed without looking at the recipe, achieving a success rate of over 90%.

Occasionally, one bottle of his finished potions would appear with a perfect quality, shimmering with a silvery-white halo.

The appearance of this perfect-quality [Boiling Blood Potion] not only shocked Harvey, but also drove the wizarding apprentices who bought it into a frenzy.

They could practically tie Harvey up and interrogate him about who owned this perfectly high-quality potion.

Harvey was also very troubled by this, but did not reveal any information about Lynn, while also feeling fortunate that he had successfully invested in Lynn.

Unable to obtain information about the potion's owner from Harvey, the wizard apprentices began to refer to Lynn as the "Silver Apothecary" by word of mouth.

Lynn was completely unaware of this situation.

On the tenth day, he had already begun to try to improve one of the auxiliary processing steps of the [Boiling Blood Potion] in the Nightmare World, while shortening the soaking time of Iron Bone Ginseng from half an hour to ten minutes, and also increasing the efficiency of drug release by five percent.

But what surprised Lynn the most was something that happened on the twelfth day.

That noon, Lynn was organizing his experimental notes in the studio when he suddenly felt two meditation runes in the ritual space vibrate simultaneously. A powerful suction force emanated from the center of the runes, frantically drawing in the surrounding mental energy.

Lynn was startled and quickly closed his eyes, focusing his inner vision on his consciousness space.

Two runes were spinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally two faint resonances were generated between them.

Under this resonance, the two runes drew closer and eventually merged together.

Without any explosion, collapse, or even the slightest ripple, the two runes merged together, and a more complex and sophisticated rune appeared in the consciousness space.

The new rune has twice as many lines as before, and each line emits a pale golden light, like an intricate totem embroidered with gold thread.

When Lynn's mental energy came into contact with the rune, his mental energy was directly absorbed into it, and then the rune emitted a ball of even purer mental energy.

Lynn was somewhat bewildered by this situation, and then quickly flipped through "Basic Meditation Method". He later learned that when an apprentice successfully outlines the first two runes through meditation, they will automatically merge into a complete basic core rune, laying the foundation for the master's next step of cultivation.

He could clearly feel that as the core runes were inhaled and exhaled, his mental energy became more solid and easier to control.

He could even perceive the faint energy particles floating in the air through his mental power.

Lynn took out the crystal ball and tested it.

Spirit Scale: 1.2!

This value has already reached the threshold for a first-class wizard apprentice!

"I never expected that I would reach the level of a first-class apprentice under such circumstances."

Lynn put down the crystal ball, a smile appearing on her face.

The biggest crisis has been resolved quietly, so the most important thing now is to complete the potion apprentice assessment.

Moreover, there are still two days until the potion apprentice assessment.

His [Boiling Blood Potion] is already able to consistently produce high-quality products, and occasionally even approaches the edge of perfect quality.

That's enough!

Two days later, at dawn.

The central square of the White Crow Tower was filled with apprentices dressed in robes of various colors.

Pharmacists, herbalists, alchemy apprentices... apprentices from all disciplines have gathered here, because today is the annual Potions Apprentice Examination Day.

Lynn was wearing a dark green herbalist's robe, and the herbalist's badge on his chest shone silver in the morning light.

He stood in the crowd, his dark purple eyes calm and undisturbed.

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the crowd.

Lynn looked in that direction and saw the main gate of the White Raven Tower slowly open. A gaunt figure wearing a dark red robe with thorn patterns walked out step by step with the help of two assistants.

His face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and every step he took seemed to be a struggle of all his strength, yet his eyes were like candlelight, emitting an uncertain glow.

The Bloodvine Wizard has arrived!
