Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Mass Production of Magic Potions (Please Follow)

“Do you have any tools to detect magic power intensity?” Anna yawned, somewhat displeased as she tapped Richard’s head, “You come to find me so early in the morning just to ask this?”

Though she was tolerant of Richard, being woken up still left her a bit grumpy.

“Sorry, Sister Anna. It’s just that I suddenly had an idea and couldn’t help it.”

Richard scratched his head awkwardly and only realized it was dawn when he saw Anna yawning while opening the shop door.

“Forget it, I forgive you. Anna casually took a seat in a chair, “There are indeed tools to detect magic power intensity, and lots of them. What kind of magic power intensity are you trying to detect?”

“Um…alchemy materials, herbs, things like that.”

“Alchemy materials? Then use a Magic Probe. I’ll go get it for you.”

Anna turned around and headed into the back of the shop, fetching a bronze needle about a foot long.

“You’ve come to your senses,” Anna tapped the table and handed the bronze needle to Richard.

“Stick this thing into the material you want to test, then watch the runes that light up on it.”

“Okay,” Richard took the probe.

“But why do you want to test for magic power? The quality of the materials from Seven Luminaries Commerce may vary, but they range from passable to excellent, they would never sell substandard goods.”

Anna sat back down, resting her chin in her hand as she looked at Richard curiously.

Richard scratched his head, “To put it simply, I plan to refine, not really refine, but I intend to make the Master’s formula more precise.”

“Refine the formula?” Anna’s expression changed abruptly, “You’ve only learned alchemy for a few days, and you want to alter the formula?”

“Huh?” Richard was startled by Anna’s reaction.

“It’s not altering, it’s making precise!” Richard felt compelled to emphasize, “The formula given by the teacher is too vague, and there’s no way to improve the success rate of making Magic Potions using that method.”

“Stop! Richard, listen to me, stop your thoughts!” Anna burst forth with magic power, instantly suppressing Richard.

Under the overwhelming force of this magic power, Richard couldn’t even move a finger.

“Is this the difference between a low-level Apprentice and an Advanced Apprentice?” Richard was shocked to think.

Though he had witnessed Eric’s strength at the exchange meeting, it was only when he personally faced an Advanced Apprentice that he realized how powerful they really were!

“Listen to me, Richard.” Anna calmed herself down and then released the suppression.

“Richard, I know you’re a genius, an even more brilliant one than me. But you must understand, no matter how talented you are, you’re still just a low-level Apprentice who has just started learning alchemy, your understanding of alchemy doesn’t even compare to me and Chax.”

Anna tried to make her voice as gentle as possible, knowing that at Richard’s age, it was easy for him to become defiant.

“The knowledge the teacher provides us, be it formulas or designs, has all been personally tested by him. If you follow his formulas, you might still fail, but you definitely won’t be facing any danger.

Do you understand?”

Anna’s eyes held a hopeful look, she had done similar foolish things before, and if Jolod hadn’t discovered it in time, she would be nothing but bones now.

She didn’t want Richard to repeat her mistakes.

“I think you’re being a bit too sensitive, Sister Anna. Let me repeat, I’m not altering, but making precise.”

Richard explained somewhat helplessly, Anna’s reaction was almost like PTSD.

Anna wanted to keep persuading him, but Richard immediately interrupted her.

“If you’re worried, Sister Anna, could you come with me? Nothing will happen to me with you protecting me. I’m just mixing a Magic Potion, not playing with mercury.”

“You…ugh!” Knowing persuading was futile, Anna said with slight irritation, “Go to the test zone, I’ll pay for the Magic Stone. You won’t learn your lesson until you make a mistake!”

Richard felt a surge of joy in his heart; he hadn’t expected this unexpected gain.

“Alright. Shall we go now?”

Anna glared fiercely at Richard:

“Let’s go!”

…

Test zone.

The laboratory didn’t have many items, aside from the experimental bench; the rest needed to be prepared by the wizard himself.

Anna stood in the corner, seemingly having procured a screen from somewhere to shield herself.

“I’m only responsible for rescuing you, I won’t watch your experiment, nor will I intervene.”

Richard shook his head helplessly. In the Wizard World, there was no concept of patents. If knowledge leaked, it could only be resolved with fists against the thieves of knowledge.

Before the Wizard Academy, Wild Wizards who accidentally awakened spiritual power but lacked a mentor had to grope for knowledge on their own. Even the Academy only opened up the knowledge of the Apprentice level. To advance further, one had to either find a mentor or explore on their own.

Therefore, in the Wizard World, it was extremely common for a wizard to specialize in a particular field. Richard speculated that the reason his potion recipe was so vague might be because Jolod’s main research wasn’t Magic Potions, hence he didn’t bother with precise formulations or perhaps he had simply exchanged the recipe with someone else.

“Okay, I’m starting.”

After three months of formulating Concentration Potions, Richard was already adept at handling the materials, adding ingredients, and channeling magic power. Every step was carried out with systematic order under Richard’s hands.

As the experiment progressed, Richard kept meticulous records of the magic values at each step of the Magic Potion’s configuration.

Days and nights passed, time flew like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, Richard had spent half a month in the lab.

During this half month, aside from meditation and recuperating his magic power, Richard spent all other time on experiments. Anna, appointed to protect him, brought several books from the store to the laboratory, deciding to protect Richard to the very last moment.

She was stubbornly holding her breath. She had failed before, could Richard possibly succeed?

“The final trial, the ninth step’s magic value is 13.5. If successful, 13.5 will be the minimum threshold; if not, 14 will be.”

With dark circles under his eyes, Richard recorded the last piece of experimental data in his notebook. The Magic Probe lent to him by Anna could only measure increments of 0.5, and he wasn’t planning to be more precise.

As long as he completed this last formulation, he would have a quite accurate Concentration Potion recipe.

Richard mechanically processed the materials, then just as mechanically, he added them to the Alchemy Pot.

At this moment, he no longer had the passion of the past days, just an endless numbness.

Repetitive work is the biggest drain on one’s enthusiasm.

The liquid in the Alchemy Pot gradually changed color as materials were added, and Richard measured the magic value at each step. When it came to the last step, a flicker of sensation finally broke through his numbness.

Boom!

Blue vapor burst forth from the pot, and Richard, staring at the deep blue liquid inside, paused for a moment, then felt an immense relief.

“Sister, come out! I did it!”

Richard laughed heartily, pulling away the screen that concealed Anna.

“Successful? How did you succeed?” Anna was somewhat puzzled. Hadn’t Richard just been making an ordinary Concentration Potion these past days? Apart from failure, there hadn’t even been a single explosion.

“Sister, you don’t understand,” Richard shook his head, without offering much of an explanation.

This was the first cry of a new era!
