Chapter 207: Buying a potion

As the group left the antique shop, Jacques took Lily's right hand and placed the ring on her middle finger.

- Well, it's just the right size! It's exactly the same as Kay's ring!

The setting was set with a sapphire and the material looked so ordinary, that no one else could figure out why Jacques would pay three hundred and fifty silver coins for the ring.

Jacques smiled and reassured everyone, promising to wait until they got back to explain.

After walking past a few shops, Fabian led everyone into the pharmacy again.

It turned out that Fabian envied that Jacques and Alyssa could break through to the Sculptor, and he didn't even reach the peak of the Awakened, so he happened to have a windfall, so he thought about taking a shortcut and getting some potions to improve his strength.

Under normal circumstances, Fabian and Natasha's strength is already considered to be the best among their peers. The two of them were already at the top of the Awakened Realm, and they had also reached the average level of participants in the Mist Forest Challenge, which could represent the top level of the Transcendent under the age of 18.

Among the three thousand people who participate in the competition every year, there are only a few people who can reach the Plasticizer, even if they are at the peak of the Awakened, there are only two or three hundred people, and each team has an average of less than one person.

It stands to reason that Fabian doesn't need to be so eager for quick success, and it is more important to lay a solid foundation step by step.

But I can't resist looking at Alysia, who is already a sculptor, and Emma, who is about to break through, every day, not to mention Jacques and Lily, who have become sculptors at the age of 17.

It's just that the potion that Fabian wants to buy to enhance his strength is different from the breakthrough elixir, the effect of the breakthrough elixir is to stimulate awakening, and there is a certain probability of failure in itself, as for the breakthrough elixir blended by Jacques and Fat Orange, it can be drunk one by one, and a bottle to create a transcendent, the main reason is that Fat Orange's special formula and precise blending technology are determined.

And the secret medicine that improves strength, it will have an effect if you drink it, the difference is only that the amount of medicinal power absorbed by different people is different, and the medicine required by transcendents with different attributes is also different.

Compared with the potions that are certain to be effective, the price is naturally much higher, so the potions commonly known as the primary source energy enhancement secret elixirs applied to the awakened are generally more than ten times that of breakthrough potions.

If it weren't for a windfall this time, Fabian would not have considered spending a lot of money to buy it, of course, another reason is that, according to Marianne, a local, the medicine in the West Street Market can be said to be the most, most complete, and cheapest in the New World.

Entering the pharmacy, the strange smell formed by the mixing of various raw materials immediately reminded Lily of the situation when Jacques and Fat Tangerine were hiding in the alchemy room, mixing breakthrough potions.

The shopkeeper asked them about their intentions, and learned that what they needed was the primary source energy enhancement secret medicine of natural attribute and water attribute, so he opened his mouth to quote: "The primary enhancement potion of water attribute is more in stock in our store, 3500 silver coins per bottle! As for the natural attribute, there is only one bottle left in our store, 8000 silver coins." ”

"8,000 silver coins!" Fabian shouted in surprise when he heard the offer, and asked the shopkeeper with a confused expression: "Why are the natural attribute ones so expensive, and they are more than twice as expensive as the water attribute ones!"

Some wealthy shopkeepers spread their hands and said: "Guest, it's not me who makes random quotations, you ask in this street, other people quote higher than me! I also know that this price is expensive, but I also follow the market price." Normally, we'd sell for around 3,000 credits. ”

Natasha also asked suspiciously, "So the reason for the price increase?"

The fat shopkeeper said helplessly: "It's not that the main material for making natural attribute primary enhancement potions is close to being out of stock, and occasionally it is also bought at a high price on the market and used for other purposes." When the material is expensive, the price of the finished product will naturally increase.

Fortifying drugs are not a necessity, and when the price is high, customers will choose not to buy them. I definitely don't dare to accept the materials, for fear that the potions I make will not be sold. Now the bottle I have in hand is still the processing commission after being commissioned by other customers. If you really want it, I can provide a list of materials, and you can collect the materials by yourself and I will help with the processing. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper also pulled up the badge pinned to his chest and emphasized: "You see, I am a certified junior alchemist of the Pharmacists Association, and this is my qualification badge. If you can get the materials, be sure to come to me for processing! ”

Natasha took the list of materials handed over by the fat shopkeeper, read it carefully, and found no special materials, so she asked the shopkeeper: "Which kind of main material are you talking about?"

The fat shopkeeper replied, "The flowers of the spirit plant and the wind vine bloom every spring. Last spring, the flowers on the market in the huge West Street Market were less than 30% of those of previous years, resulting in a shortage of stocks this year, not only the primary strengthening potions of the natural system, but also several other potions were mainly it. ”

Hearing the words of the fat shopkeeper, Natasha, who was in the business of alien beast spirit plant materials at home, was puzzled and said: "Wind Seeking Vine is not a particularly rare spirit plant, right? ”

Some people say that it is because of the rebellion in the north, which has caused fewer adventurers to enter the forest to pick in the spring, but I don't think it's that simple......

The fat shopkeeper said halfway through his words, but he didn't say any more, and changed his words: "The cost of other materials is not high, you can buy them on West Street, if you see the flowers of the complete wind vine within a thousand silver coins, and the preservation is relatively good, you can buy it, each bottle needs two complete flowers as the main material."

Of course, you can also wait two or three months, and then in the spring when the new flowers come on the market, maybe the price will come back a little bit. ”

In the end, Fabian and Natasha had no choice but to buy two bottles of water-attribute primary source energy enhancement potion, gave up the natural attribute potion, and everyone left the potion shop.

Then finally arrived at the material store that Jacques wanted to visit, Fabian asked the price according to the list of the fat shopkeeper, and sure enough, the other materials were indeed not expensive, except for the complete flower of the Wind Vine, the price had reached 1200 silver coins each.

Because of the difference in the individual absorption of the potion, Fabian may not be able to reach the peak of the Awakened by drinking two or three bottles, and according to eight thousand bottles, it is really not worth spending nearly 30,000 silver coins on promotion, so he has to give up.

However, Jacques found the ideal material for making armor in the store, a complete half-step bison leather of the strength of the Beastmaster. He planned to use this cowhide as the main material to make a cuirass, and add Mithril woven locking rings to the important parts to strengthen the protection, forming a leather armor with a ring. This armor is a little less protective than all the Mithril armor tools that have been built before, but it is much lighter.

Those armor people don't usually like to wear, it's too cumbersome and heavy. Lightweight armor is also more suitable for mercenary missions.

It wasn't until Jacques went to three shops to buy all the accessories that everyone left West Street and returned to Marianne's house.
