Chapter 38: The Ruhr Elixir

Coming back from the mountain, the black tattoo on Sean's chest has changed significantly, presumably because he absorbed so much energy at the Evil Altar last time.

Now, even if he didn't summon the wraith, he could still use his spiritual power to connect with it, and he could clearly feel that the wraith was somewhere in his body.

Sean tried to use his mental power to find it, but after several attempts, he couldn't find the location of the wraith.

In the past few days, he summoned the resentful spirit several times, and found that the phantom was becoming more and more condensed, and even this thing had a certain intelligence.

Sean can roughly distinguish its joys, sorrows, and sorrows from that hideous and terrifying face, which is clearly a sign of gradual development towards an "evil spirit".

What worries Sean even more is his emotions, I don't know why, he has occasionally become irritable inexplicably recently, and his chest is like holding a violent breath that is about to be vented at any time.

Although he tried to suppress as much as possible, there was always a strong desire to destroy in his heart, an urge to smash everything he saw in his eyes.

At this time, as long as he practiced the Nameless Method a few times, the irritable mood in his heart would be greatly relieved.

The last time he was in the mountains, he found that his family was missing, and he couldn't control his emotions, and he almost couldn't bear to kill Peilan, but now as long as he thinks about it, he is covered in cold sweat.

Sean, who has experienced the end times, certainly knows how dangerous this situation is, and once a person becomes impulsive and irritable, it means that he is not far from death.

Now every time Sean meditates, the cold, cold, gray and rotten aura in the room becomes more and more intense.

And Sean's whole temperament has also changed slightly, and he is already taciturn, but now he is becoming more and more gloomy.

Sean is very worried now, he doesn't know what this black tattoo is, and he doesn't know if it will bring him some unknown danger in the future.

But there was nothing he could do but go with the flow and quietly observe the changes in the tattoo.

He studied this black tattoo specifically and the results surprised him.

He took a mirror to observe the tattoo carefully, and found that the tattoo the size of a silver coin was densely engraved with hundreds of runes, and the runes were stacked on top of each other, which was dazzling.

It took him a long time and a lot of mental energy to transcribe the several sets of runes on the very edge of the tattoo, and compared them with the runes on the book, and none of them were similar.

Sean also wanted to continue to study this black tattoo, but in the face of layers of strange runes, as long as he looked at it for a while, Sean would become dizzy, and even have a mental overdraft.

During this time, everything was normal in Sean's house, and the peaceful days kept repeating.

Flender guards the grocery store, Mia takes care of the housework, and Sean spends his spare time reading in the house in addition to practicing.

The trip to Cato City helped Sean so much that he was finally no longer a white wizard apprentice.

The books that Sean brought back from Cato City not only allowed him to gain various basic knowledge of wizarding apprenticeship, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the wizarding world through communication with other apprentices.

In addition, he found several zero-level spell rune templates with negative energy in several wizarding books that Edgar helped him translate.

A first-level wizard apprentice can engrave five zero-level spell marks in his mental space.

After careful consideration, Sean opted for "Acid Splash" and "Vertigo".

In doing so, Sean has mastered five zero-level spells, including "Dark Raven", "Necromantic Servant", "Hand of Shadow", "Vertigo", and "Acid Splash".

Through the study of books such as "Analysis of the Principle of Zero-level Spell Casting" and "The Construction Rules of the Spell Rune Array Template", Sean has a deep understanding of the spell casting principles of the five spells he has mastered and the analysis of the construction of the rune array template.

Now Sean casts five zero-level spells, and both the cast time, spell power, and cast distance have been qualitatively improved.

In addition, the "Elementary Potions" book that Sean found from Edgar's bookstore also gave Sean a preliminary understanding of the knowledge of wizarding potions.

This book of "Elementary Potions" records the recipes of most of the junior wizards' potions, and not only that, but also details the refining methods of various low-level potions.

Compared to mortal potions, the refining method of wizard potions is more complicated and cumbersome, and the materials required are more precious.

In fact, in areas rich in wizard resources, the concentration of various energy particles in the air is very high, and only in such an environment can potions and magical beasts be born.

And these potions and the crystal nuclei, blood, and various organs on the body of the demonic beast are the main materials needed for wizard potions.

The recipes for these low-level wizard potions include the "Wild Bull Elixir" and "Galloping Horse Elixir" that Sean wanted to refine the most.

And these two potions can only be regarded as the entry type of the beginner wizard potions.

Even the "Dragon's Blood Elixir" he had taken was the lowest grade of wizard potion, and it was generally only taken by apprentices.

Sean found that the relatively high-level wizard potions were almost all about mana and mental power.

Two of the most precious of these are the "Awakening Elixir" that increases mana, and the "Water of Lola" that increases mental power.

The materials required for these two potions are very rare and extremely difficult to refine, even if you spend more magic crystals, you can't even buy them, and they may not even be found in those wizarding organizations in the wizarding gathering place.

But Sean is more interested in another, that is, "Luer Elixir", don't look at the name is inconspicuous, but the function is very rebellious.

Taking the "Luer Elixir" can greatly enhance the ability of the Wizard Apprentice to perceive energy particles in a few spell hours.

The name of this potion is named after the pharmacist, and it is said that this pharmacist named Ruhr was a wizard with very poor qualifications, and in order to make up for his qualifications, after years of research, he finally invented this potion.

Moreover, the materials required for this elixir are not so expensive, and the refining process is not complicated.

It is said that such a potion is definitely a blessing for the majority of apprentices with extremely poor qualifications, and it should have been widely popularized in the wizarding world a long time ago.

But the vast majority of apprentices in the wizarding world are qualifications below the third level, so this potion has naturally become in demand.

After years of wear and tear, the various materials of this potion have been collected on a large scale, and now they have become increasingly scarce, especially the four main materials are almost extinct.

Because of the huge interests involved, the major wizarding organizations began to artificially cultivate in the Potions Garden, gradually monopolizing the resources of these materials.

Today, the price of this potion has reached fifty magic crystals, which is much more expensive than many junior wizard potions.

A low-level potion that was supposed to benefit the public was monopolized by the major wizarding organizations, and gradually became an expensive potion that could only be used by the academies under the major wizarding organizations and those wizarding families that had a long heritage.

Fortunately, Sean's ability to feel energy particles is not bad, and now his mana is almost catching up with the third-level wizard apprentice, so he has no need for this potion.

Although he didn't want to make this potion thanklessly, Sean still longed for the profession of pharmacist.

In the wizarding world, the pharmacist is definitely a gold-collar class, not only rich in wealth, but also very noble in status, even if it is just a low-level pharmacist, the major wizarding organizations and wizard families will try their best to recruit you.

Because it is too difficult to become a pharmacist, the resources invested in the early stage alone are not something that ordinary wizards can afford, even ordinary small wizard organizations cannot afford the consumption of a pharmacist apprentice, so pharmacists are in supply no matter where they are.

Sean got some materials in Cato City, but the amount was not large, and he could only barely scrape together a few sets of materials for refining "Brute Bull Elixir" and "Galloping Horse Elixir".

Because there are too few potion materials, Sean has not tried to refine it, but has been studying the "low-level potions", trying to understand the knowledge in the book as much as possible, and will start refining it when the time is right.

In addition to the harvest of the trip to Cato City, Sean also seized some loot from several evil wizard organizations.

It's a pity that the skin on the black-robed old man's body, the high-level demonic witch weapon, as well as the dozen piles of magic crystals that opened the altar, and more than twenty evil wizard apprentices were all devoured.

So he only got some gains from a few evil wizard apprentices, but none of them were very wealthy.

There were only dozens of magic crystals, thousands of gold coins, a dozen books, more than twenty bottles of low-level potions, a few low-grade enchanted weapons, and some spell-casting materials, and I didn't find any big surprises.

But Sean is already very satisfied, not to mention magic crystals, gold coins, wizard potions can also be used in the future, those low-grade enchanted weapons and various spell-casting materials can be sold or traded in Cato City in the future.

Nine of the dozen wizarding books were identical to the three Sean had gotten from Alva, and he had destroyed them all.

Only two of them were written in several wizarding scripts, and Sean was going to go to Cato City next time and ask Edgar to help translate them.

The rest of the books are all manuscripts, all of which are the spell notes of these evil wizard apprentices, and Sean has also read them carefully, and has also gained some inspiration and gains from them.
