Chapter 947: The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras
In addition, these three major shareholders usually heard too much of Hoffman's praise for Lin Li's attainments in pharmacy, although they all believed that Hoffman would not talk nonsense, after all, pharmacy is broad and profound, and some people may not be able to become masters after studying all their lives, how can a young man in his early twenties do it. And, even more exaggerated, this young man also had amazing achievements in magic, and stepped into the realm of legend early.
Under the gaze of several people, either curious or expectant, Lin Li took the potion formula, and after only one glance, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
This is the recipe for a Vulcan advent potion, and the effect is that the user can transform into a flame form in a short period of time, similar to the Rogge Great Sacrifice after the accident in the Great Rift. When the user transforms into the flame form, they will lose the ability to use the power of other elements, but the control of the fire element will be too extreme, which is not as good as the flame form of the Rogge High Sacrifice.
According to the difficulty of preparing the Vulcan Advent Elixir and its effect, this elixir is a master-level elixir, but it can only rank in the middle of the master-level elixir. With Hoffman's master-level potions, it is difficult to prepare the Vulcan Advent Elixir, but it is not impossible to prepare. And the reason why Hoffman, and even many famous potion masters, was helpless because there were some differences between this recipe and the real one.
After a while, Lin Li handed the potion formula back to Hoffman, and said with a smile: "Master Hoffman, I think you should have all been deceived. β
"What!" Hearing Lin Li's words, Hoffman was taken aback.
When Hoffman first mentioned this potion formula to Lin Li, he once said that it was purchased for a lot of money, and with Hoffman's strong net worth, it must be said to be a lot of money, and the amount must be quite large. Of course, Hoffman is not unable to afford to lose, even the so-called heavy money is far from reaching the point where he feels distressed. But, thinking about the fact that he took this potion recipe and looked around for the potion masters among his friends, Hoffman couldn't afford to lose this person.
And the other three major shareholders were naturally quite surprised, as a master of pharmacies, Hoffman actually looked away? You know, Hoffman's level of pharmacy, which is quite recognized by Balbo of the Pharmacists' Union, is now actually looking at a pharmacy formula and looking away?
Seeing the expressions of Hoffman and the others, Lin Li couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then said: "Master Hoffman, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this potion formula is fake, but the reason why you can't prepare it is because you were deceived by the content of the formula. β
"Oh, what's going on, please!" Hoffman was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, he was a little puzzled.
"That's right, in fact, this recipe is locked." Lin Li smiled and said something that made everyone even more incomprehensible.
"Plus...... Locked? Hoffman and the others were surprised.
Lin Li nodded, and then explained: "This is actually a way to prevent the potion formula from being stolen by others, simply put, the formula is filled with some useless herbs that can be removed by special techniques. In this recipe, a total of one hundred and three herbs are used, but in my opinion, fifteen of them should play a role in forming an anti-theft lock, so that even if others get this formula, they will not be able to really prepare the potion at all, and even pose some threats to those who try to prepare it. β
As soon as Lin Li's explanation was spoken, not to mention Hoffman, who was a master of apothecary, even Alvin and Jerene, who originally knew nothing about pharmacy, couldn't help but show a strong interest on their faces.
"So, isn't it possible that when we prepare, we omit the process of adding these fifteen herbs, and we can prepare the potions on the formula?" Hoffman hurriedly asked, handing over the recipe again, wanting Lin Li to point out those useless herbs.
"It's not that simple," Seeing Hoffman's impatient expression, Lin Li took the formula, but shook his head with a smile, and then said: "These fifteen herbs, not all of them are useless for potion preparation, the key is still the method of preparation. To open a lock, you need to have a matching key, and this special recipe is the key to open the lock on this recipe. β
Lin Li didn't wait for Hoffman to ask, and then began to explain the problem of the formula of the potion, from the properties of various herbs and the changes in their reactions, step by step, the special techniques required to prepare this formula.
Hoffman, the president of the dignified Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, was like a primary school student at this time, listening to Lin Li's narration with a serious face, and even his breathing gradually slowed down a little. And with Lin Li's explanation, the problem gradually became clear, and Hoffman's pair of small eyes narrowed into thin slits slowly flashed with excitement and fanaticism.
Thomas knew a little about pharmacy, but he was far less than Hoffman, who was a master of apothecary, and the other two Alvin and Gereni, knew nothing. However, they didn't need to know anything, they didn't even need to know what Lin Li was talking about, just looking at Hoffman's drunken expression, they knew that what the young president of the Tower of Twilight was telling was true.
Moreover, they also knew that after getting this potion formula, Hoffman had asked many famous potion masters for help, but none of them could give a clear explanation like Lin Li. Although they didn't know much about pharmacy, they could guess from Lin Li's relaxed demeanor when he explained this recipe that this question, which had stumped almost all the potion masters, was just a minor problem for Lin Li.
After some explanations, Hoffman finally figured out the problem with the formula, and his face showed irrepressible joy. After putting away the recipe for the Vulcan advent potion, Hoffman took out an old-looking magic book, handed it to Lin Li, and said, "Master Ferry, according to the promise I once made, please accept this book of ten thousand spells." β
It is said that this Book of Ten Thousand Spells was snatched from the palace of a great demon when the Great Lord Osric was conquering the Endless Abyss, and somehow found it in Hoffman's hands. Hoffman was able to have a status in the Light Wind Plains, known as the Land of Chaos, and almost no one dared to mess with it, in addition to the reason for the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, his terrifying strength was also an important reason. What's more, if you don't have such strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit in the current position in the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. And Hoffman can have such strength, relying on this book of ten thousand spells, which shows that this book of ten thousand spells must be extraordinary.
Hearing Hoffman say that he was going to give away the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, the three major shareholders next to him were a little shocked for a while. Although they had heard Hoffman say to many people that as long as the problem with the recipe of the potion was solved, the Book of Ten Thousand Spells would be the price, but it was still a little difficult to accept that this thing had actually become a reality.
Just a few words, in exchange for such an important thing from others, with Lin Li's personality, he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly excused himself: "Master Hoffman is too polite, I just answer a few small questions, this book of ten thousand spells ......"
Before Lin Li could finish speaking, Hoffman had already stuffed the Book of Ten Thousand Spells into his hand and said, "Master Ferry, don't shirk, this is what we said, to be a businessman, you have to be honest, you can't cause me to lose my reputation." β
Seeing that Hoffman was so resolute and had some credibility problems, Lin Li couldn't refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accept this book of ten thousand spells with shame." β
With Lin Li's current strength at the peak of the legend, he actually doesn't value the Book of Ten Thousand Spells as much as before, after all, there are the Book of Eternity and Star Fragments in his hand, and these things alone are enough to push himself into the gate of the Holy Domain. However, in front of the previous master, Lin Li always didn't want to be too casual, so he was forced to stuff the book of ten thousand spells in his hand, and solemnly rectified it before preparing to enter the Ring of Infinity.
However, when Lin Li was tidying up, he inadvertently turned the pages of the book, but he couldn't help but be surprised. The handwriting in this Book of Ten Thousand Spells is actually somewhat similar to the handwriting on the Immortal King's notebook given to him by the Ash Warlock! According to Hoffman, wasn't this book of incantations stolen by Osric from the archdemon, and the handwriting was just similar, or was it really related to the Immortal King?
Although a huge question flashed in his heart, Lin Li did not show it on the surface, but then put the sorted book of ten thousand spells into the Ring of Immersturm.
At this time, it was already late at night, and although everyone was legendary and strong, they would not feel tired at this time, but it was not in line with the hospitality to continue chatting. What's more, Hoffman figured out the problem with the potion recipe, and couldn't wait to try to prepare it, so he arranged a room for Lin Li and his men and asked them to take them to rest.
When he arrived at the resting room, after the waiter who led the way left, Lin Li took out the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras again, sat at the table and flipped through it. And really reading the content of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, Lin Li can't help but admire Hoffman's generosity, this Book of Ten Thousand Mantras is indeed worthy of being a treasure book for creating a strong man.
In this book of ten thousand spells, thousands of magic spells are densely recorded, many of which are very precious. Especially for the world of Anriel today, although the war at the end of the dark ages overthrew the cruel rule of the High Elves, it also caused the loss of knowledge in various fields, and a large number of magic spells were also lost in the magic field.
The magic spells on this Book of Ten Thousand Spells, let alone ordinary mage towers, even if they are many magic guilds, they may not be able to find them. Probably only Orlana will be able to find most of the spells in the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, but it is also very difficult. You know, in order to copy two more spells for the Orlana Magic Guild, MedellΓn even gave up the opportunity to join the Supreme Council.
I think that Lin Li was still a magician, and when he participated in the trial in the Orlana Magic Guild, he promised to build a magic weapon for Odwin in order to win a bet with the Adventurer's Guild, and the reward was nothing more than a fifteenth-level magic spell. But at the same time, Hoffman had already made a promise that as long as Lin Li helped him solve this recipe problem, he would send this book of ten thousand spells, how generous this promise was.
It's just that time has passed, and now Lin Li is no longer the little magician who has just entered the magic hall. And this book of ten thousand spells, for him, who can already say that he has one foot in the gate of the holy realm, does not reflect such a huge value. After all, with Lin Li's current strength, magic spells were nothing more than a tool for manipulating the elements of magic. Rules are the essence of magic, with the comprehension and control of the rules, as long as he wants, he can even use any spell to cast any magic, of course, no matter what, it cannot be denied that this book of ten thousand spells is indeed a good thing, even if Lin Li himself can no longer use it, but there are so many magicians in the Tower of Dusk.
After flipping through a few pages, Lin Li's attention couldn't help but gradually shift from the content of those magic spells to the words that wrote the magic spells. When he got the Book of Ten Thousand Spells before, he had doubts about the handwriting in the book, but things with similar handwriting in this world are not so rare, and at first glance it doesn't mean anything. But now, after carefully flipping through these pages, the doubts in his heart have not only not been eliminated, but have become heavier.
Although Lin Li does not know how to identify professional handwriting, a simple comparison of handwriting, especially the handwriting of the same text, can still be done. So, he placed the Book of Spells on the table and retrieved the Immortal King's notebook from the Rings of Immersturm. One is a book with thousands of magic spells, and the other is a note on the technique of creating the perfect body, but it's easy to find the same words from them.
Lin Li was completely shocked by this comparison, the handwriting on the Book of Ten Thousand Spells actually had an amazing resemblance to the handwriting in the notes of the Immortal King, even if someone deliberately imitated it, they couldn't imitate it to this extent. Lin Li could even conclude from this that there was at least a ninety percent chance that this Book of Ten Thousand Spells was left by the Immortal King.
However, in the face of this conclusion, the only thought in Lin Li's heart was impossible. Aside from the handwriting in between, Lin Li couldn't find any reason to link the Book of Ten Thousand Spells to the Immortal King.
Yes, this book of ten thousand spells is indeed a priceless magic book for magicians. However, it also depends on who it is for, when Lin Li was just a magician, he was so excited when he got a fifteenth-level magic spell, not to mention this book of ten thousand spells that recorded thousands of magic spells. But now, Lin Li had comprehended a trace of the mystery of the power of the Holy Domain, and naturally knew that magic spells were actually dispensable for a top-level magician.
