Chapter 34 -34: Potions! The Power of the Appraisal Module

In the original memories, Nolian was a very seasoned Third-level Wizard Apprentice. Although his Talent was only third-class, after many years of hard dedication, his spiritual power was very close to solidifying 108 spiritual runes.

However, after switching to the modified version of the Greybone Meditation Method II, although the effects of meditation and the purity of spiritual power had leaped qualitatively, the number of spiritual runes required for solidification had also increased to 360. This had put him significantly behind in his progress!

According to the current pace, Nolian would solidify 108 spiritual runes and reach the peak of a Third-level Wizard Apprentice much faster than himself! If everything went smoothly, Nolian would become a Formal Wizard before him.

At that time, if he were still at the Third-level Wizard Apprentice Rank, his situation would become extremely dangerous!

This had nothing to do with strength. Even if he could defeat a Formal Wizard head-on as a Third-level Wizard Apprentice, relying on the knowledge upgraded by the system, once he exhibited strength that was exaggeratedly beyond what other wizards perceived, it might arouse the curiosity or even greed of other Formal Wizards.

If other Formal Wizards discovered the modified Greybone Meditation Method II, or even further unearthed his secret as a visitor from Anotherworld, he would really be in big trouble!

Then, he would have to face not just Nolian but a group of Formal Wizards, and possibly even several “old monsters” hidden within the Greybone Academy. He could not rule out the possibility of several wizarding organizations with power comparable to Greybone Academy “collaboratively exploiting” him.

“One step beyond gains you flowers, too many steps beyond earns only destruction,” Lucien’s eyes slightly narrowed. Without the assurance of successfully overturning the situation, he could only comply with and make use of the rules.

“Power, I need to rapidly enhance my power. It would be best if there’s a chance to eliminate him before Nolian advances to a Formal Wizard,” a trace of coldness flashed through Lucien’s eyes. “A Third-level Wizard Apprentice killing another Third-level Wizard Apprentice is not unusual in the eyes of the Formal Wizards.”

“Of course, a permanent solution would be to become a Formal Wizard before Nolian’s advancement,” Lucien took a deep breath. “These two plans do not conflict and can be pursued simultaneously. What I need to do now is find a way to use the system’s worship value to accelerate my power enhancement.”

“There are many ways to accelerate the enhancement of spiritual power. After eliminating some methods with severe side effects, the most cost-effective method for me is through Magic Potions,” Lucien’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the experiment table, producing a rhythmic tapping sound.

“Taking Soothing Elixirs or Violet Potions, for instance, can enhance meditation efficiency, with an increase ranging from three to five times. The only downside is the expensive cost of the potions, using them means burning through Magic Stones!”

“Moreover, there’s another problem, which is the large quantity of potions I require. If I rely solely on purchasing, one is the difficulty, and the other is that it might draw unnecessary attention from others.”

The best approach would be to utilize the system’s teaching and identification features to become a Pharmacist myself!

Lucien’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the Wizard Robe that had just been repaired. “The system’s identification feature is very powerful; it can identify a lot of information about alchemical items, even how to repair them can be clearly detected and listed.”

“What about potions?”

With that thought, Lucien picked up a Recovery Potion from the laboratory.

[Identification requires 1 point of worship value]

“Identify,” Lucien said without hesitation.

[Item]: Recovery Potion

[Positioning]: Zero-level Magic Potion·Healing class

[Raw materials]: Coldwater Herb, Blue Ring Mushroom, Cure Herb

[Description]: An ordinary potion prepared by a Pharmacist Apprentice that can accelerate physical recovery when taken.

Rows of data appeared quickly as the system scanned. Soon, Lucien found a row of data that he needed.

[Details]:

1. The cork’s airtightness is insufficient, causing the potion to undergo slight deterioration.

2. During the configuration process, the pre-treatment of the healing herbs was rough, and the stirring was too vigorous.

3. When processing cold water grass, after crushing, letting the cold water grass rest for 30 minutes will yield better results.

…

As Lucien looked at the appraisal results, containing more than a dozen details, his eyes literally sparkled.

This wasn’t merely appraisal details; this was clearly an “AI grading” system! Lucien believed that if the pharmacist who initially configured this standard dose of the recovery potion could see the system’s appraisal results and continuously correct it, his ability to configure recovery potions would definitely improve significantly, hence enhancing the overall level of pharmacists.

And if he used the appraisal function to test and analyze his concoctions, it would be equivalent to having a master in pharmacy guiding him one-on-one, always pinpointing all the issues in his potion configurations!

If other pharmacists or pharmacy apprentices knew about this privilege, they would probably be green with envy, right?

A sly smile curled on Lucien’s lips.

“The only limitation is that I need a sufficient amount of respect to use the appraisal function unreservedly for my own ‘remedial lessons,'” Lucien quickly sobered up and began to analytically assess the limitations of the appraisal function in aiding his path as a pharmacist.

Just as Lucien slightly furrowed his brow, worrying about his insufficient respect reserve, there came a familiar, rhythmic knocking at the door of his laboratory.

“Come in!” Lucien raised an eyebrow, but when he saw Carly softly walking into the laboratory, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, Carly seemed like a walking, high-powered respect-generating machine.

“Lucien, teacher?” Carly noticed Lucien’s somewhat peculiar gaze and involuntarily touched her own cheek, wondering if there was something on her face that had caught Lucien’s attention.

“No, it’s nothing,” Lucien slightly averted his gaze, but thinking of the respect points, his eyes couldn’t help drifting back to Carly.

Carly keenly sensed Lucien’s gaze, her breathing became slightly constrained and she nervously clutched at her new grey robe.

[Your student Carly holds respect for you, respect points +2]

When this system notification popped up, it was as if the sound of a cash counting machine echoed pleasantly in Lucien’s ears.

It was like a heavenly melody.
