Looking at the four bottles of potions that North took out, the effect of the potions has been judged by the system to meet the standards that Rod needs, which can improve Rode's control spirit attributes, and the only thing that makes Rod a little regretful is naturally the number of these potions.

According to Rod's prediction, a long period of time has passed since he returned to Diya, but in such a long period of time, North only refined four bottles of potions, and in terms of quantity, it was far from reaching Rod's expectations, and Rod was naturally a little dissatisfied with this.

"Is that all?"

Looking at North on the side, Rhodes asked the doubts in his heart.

Hearing Rod's words, North took out these potions and took the initiative to explain: "This is all the potions, during this time, there has been great turmoil within the liberal professional chamber of commerce in the city, and there are few merchant groups that will sell refining materials as before. ”

"Although the city lord has issued a task to collect refining materials in the freelance chamber of commerce, it has not achieved much results."

"If it weren't for the refining materials you provided me before this, plus I still have some refining materials left, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have these four bottles of potions."

North's explanation made Rhodes realize something at once.

In order to complete the refining of potions, refining materials are indispensable, no matter what kind of refining is carried out. The importance of refining materials, even more so before the refining method, without the support of refining materials, potions will not appear out of thin air.

Because of this, before refining potions, refiners often need to spend a lot of effort to collect materials.

Like North, it may be good to have a lord willing to provide a collection of materials, which can save the time required to collect materials and focus on refining instead, and if no one is willing to provide support, the refiner will have to rely on himself to obtain these materials.

What surprised Rhodes was naturally the explanation given by North about the various matters related to the freelance chamber of commerce.

According to North's words, he failed to refine enough potions because the refining materials provided to him were not enough, and the source of these refining materials was naturally the various merchant groups of the liberal chamber of commerce in the city.

After returning to Werning, Rhodes had heard about the merchant group more than once, and at this time he learned about it again from North's mouth.

Recalling the information he received from Elon earlier, it seems that not long ago, the centaur leader forced many merchants out of the city because of his own actions, which led to this situation.

If there is no freelance chamber of commerce in the city, many things are much more complicated, and if you want to obtain the refining materials for potions, you can only choose more cumbersome ways, and you can't directly rely on the merchant group to obtain them.

There are not enough refining materials, even if North has the ability to refine top-level potions, it seems to be useless, without the supply of refining materials, it is impossible to refine potions at all.

Perhaps for the centaur leader, all it did was to obtain a few special treasures, but its own behavior had a great impact on the development of the city.

Rhodes believed that when this situation arose, the goods that would be lacking in the freelance chamber of commerce would not only be as simple as the materials needed to refine potions, but also the other basic goods.

As if to make up for this, and to complete the orders given before Rhodes' departure, the Centaur Leader then issued a task in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce to collect refining materials, but it was expected that such a task would not be effective.

Rhodes realized that this situation might have lasted much longer had he not returned to the realm in time, and that during that time, North would not have been able to refine more potions.

Rhodes also needs to deal with the freelance chamber of commerce, but not now.

Although there were not enough refining materials for him to refine, during this time, North still completed the task assigned by Rod very well, and Rod believed that the emergence of this type of potion could solve his lack of control spirit for a period of time in the future.

Putting away the four potions that North had taken out, Rhodes seemed to remember something, and began to carefully examine the environment in the ashram.

Rhodes noticed that an iron cauldron was erected at the rear near the wall to complete the refining of potions, and that the wall above the cauldron had a distinct opening that connected to the space outside the ashram to maintain the air circulation during the refining of potions.

Rhodes recalls entering the ashram and distinctly smelling the pungent scent of potions, which was clearly not very effective.

In front of North, there was a long table, with all kinds of branches and leaves, herbs of different colors, scattered in the corner of the table, and in the middle of the long table, the utensils used to process the materials were displayed.

Rhodes was all too familiar with the utensils that appeared on the table, and the existence of these utensils was to complete the refining of crude potions in order to obtain potions that could be drunk directly.

The utensils on the table were relatively rudimentary, and Rhodes had not seen any of the silver utensils he had seen in the Potions Contest at this time, and according to Rhodes' expectations, these utensils would be enough to maintain the basic potions refining.

And inside the ashram, there is also a room connected, and Rhodes knows that the room inside should be the location where North lived during this time.

After observing the surrounding environment, Rhodes also confirmed what he had in mind.

This ashram was apparently built for North, and all the facilities in it were prepared for the refining of potions.

Compared to what Rhodes had seen in the magic academy, the facilities in front of him were obviously incomplete, and some of the refining processes could not even be carried out due to the lack of corresponding utensils, but compared to the simple environment in the ashram, these facilities were relatively complete.

Seeing the environment in the ashram, Rhodes knew that this was the most suitable place for potion refining in the entire Ao City.

After getting the heart of the Beamon Behemoth from Els, Rhodes was not in a hurry to start refining potions, in addition to the lack of other refining materials to match it, and other matters to deal with in the city, more importantly, there was still no suitable refining site.

The ashram where North is currently located is undoubtedly the most suitable location for Rhodes to refine perfect potions, and the ready-made refining equipment that exists in it is also enough for Rhodes to use.
