Chapter 40 Praise of Moonlight
In the trading area.
"Hanks, I want to send out a batch of recovery potions." Lucian directly found a third-level wizard apprentice who had a fixed booth and told him his purpose.
"Fortunately, the original owner was a half-baked pharmacist before, otherwise I would have some trouble directly disposing of large quantities of potions." While taking out the potions, Lucian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"Recovery potion? Lucian, it seems I want to congratulate you, you finally succeeded!" Hanks is a chubby third-level wizard apprentice. He looks extremely kind, not even like a cold wizard. Instead, he looks like a well-rounded businessman.
"Don't talk about it, how much have I invested in practicing potions?" Lucian curled his lips, "Now I have almost finished practicing the recovery potions, but you also know that if the success rate is not high, it will only make a hard money. "
Hanks smiled and did not respond to the second half of Lucian's words, but carefully examined the forty recovery potions Lucian sent this time.
"The quality of these potions of yours is not up to standard." Hanks took out a defective recovery potion, his expression became a little embarrassed.
"Give me a price. If it doesn't work, I'll just wait a little longer in the trading area and go directly to the apprentices who need it. It's possible to make a move. At most, it's just a waste of time." Lucian shrugged and did not refute Hanks's pickiness.
"There's really nothing we can do about you pharmacists..." Hanks muttered, but he still decisively counted the remaining recovery potions and quickly calculated a number in his mind.
"Total together, one hundred and twenty-five magic stones." Hanks looked at Lucian. "You should know that a potion with flaws is only worth so much."
"One hundred and thirty magic stones." Lucian looked at Hanks and saw that he seemed to be shaking off the fat on his face to refuse. He added, "I will also buy fifty more from you. The preparation materials of Moonlight Praise, and the formula of Moonlight Praise.”
Hanks's mouth that had been opened just now closed immediately, and his small eyes shone with a shrewd light.
Praise of Moonlight is one of the most difficult potions to prepare in the wizard apprenticeship stage. The purchase price of the materials alone is worth two magic stones each!
This is extremely profitable, and if a pharmacist wants to successfully prepare a medicine, the amount of materials he needs to consume in the early stage is not a small number! When the time comes, what he makes less from the recovery potion can be made up in this transaction and subsequent expected transactions.
"Okay, even if it's a gift after you become a pharmacist, Lucian." Hanks smiled.
Lucian also smiled. At least so far, his goal of coming to the trading area this time has been basically achieved.
Moonlight Praise.
It was the potion that Lucian finally chose to concoct. The reason why I chose to use Moonlight Praise as a potion to assist meditation is very simple, that is because the main material of this potion is moonlight moss.
Later, when we get to Kosai Island, an island that produces moonlight moss, it will be easier and cheaper to obtain this kind of potion material, so that we won't be stuck by interested people just because we left the academy.
And in Lucian's heart, there is another plan.
That is, Kali can be taught to prepare Moonlight Praise. If an upgraded version of the potion with better effects can be obtained in the future, then the upgraded Moonlight Praise will most likely use moonlight moss as the core material, or use moonlight moss as one of the core materials.
On Kosai Island, which is rich in moonlight moss, you might be able to get all the materials needed for the upgraded Moonlight Praise. And with the upgraded Moonlight Praise as an assistant, the time it takes for him to be promoted to an official wizard will definitely be shortened accordingly.
"By the way, do you have the finished [Moonlight Praise] here?" Lucian asked after thinking of something after taking the magic stone and materials handed over by Hanks.
"Want a sample?" Hanks smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile, "I'm sorry, I don't have any here. After all, you know, medicines like Moonlight Potion that are used to assist cultivation are very popular. Yes. But if you want to sell finished medicine in the future, you must come to me and I will give you a price that you are absolutely satisfied with."
When Hanks said this, there was confidence in his eyes. "Thanks in advance, Hanks." Lucian smiled and responded. But he didn't follow Hanks's path.
After all, unlike recovery potions, which are relatively common potions, high-end goods like Moonlight Praise are definitely a seller's market. Even if they are not marketable, there will definitely be no shortage of buyers.
Even from a certain perspective, high-level magic potions like Moonlight Praise are even more valuable than magic stones.
"By the way, Hanks, have you seen Norian during this time?" Lucian was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of this. He looked at Hanks and asked.
Hanks had a troubled expression on his fat face, "Oh, Lucian, my friend, although I really want to help you, Noliaan is also a loyal customer of mine..."
Lucian took out two magic stones and placed them on the table in front of Hanks.
"This is not a problem with the magic stone. This is a principle. I cannot expose the customer's information..."
Lucian took out three more magic stones and placed them on the table, "I need to buy information."
"He went to the bone mound three days ago, and he told me that he was going to retreat there!" Hanks' fleshy hands moved so fast that he could see the afterimage, and he put them away. The five magic stones on the table, with their mouths slightly open and closed, quietly told Lucian this piece of information through their mental power.
…
"Moonlight Praise, it is said that this ancient potion formula comes from the elves, so the name of the potion and the preparation method have the elegant but cumbersome feeling of the elves."
In the laboratory, Lucian looked through the potion formula recorded on a huge special leaf. After repeatedly confirming that he had completely mastered the entire process, he put away the formula, then waved his hand and took out a potion from the space ring. Materials for Moonlight Praise.
The seeds of the Chiko tree, the moonlight moss, and... the tears of the beauty shell.
"Fortunately, the seeds of the Qi Ke tree and the tears of the beauty shell are both renewable resources. After purchasing the Qi Ke tree and the living body of the beauty shell, as long as they are raised properly, the cost of obtaining them later is relatively low. The main cost is still On Moon Moss.”
Lucian let out a breath and began to prepare the potion.
…
"Listen to the praise of the moonlight, it is a gorgeous movement composed by nature..." Lucian said a song-like verse in Elvish language while staring at a small seedling growing on the moonlight moss. The spiritual power is mobilized to nourish and care for this beautiful but fragile plant in a special way.
The seedlings were silver like moonlight, swaying and dancing slowly, growing slowly under the nourishment of Lucian's singing and witchcraft.
But suddenly, the fragile silver plant withered instantly, and the unit of moonlight moss with which it took root also lost its luster, and its internal energy escaped, turning it into a piece of waste.
"The twenty-first time, failed." Lucian's expression was very calm. He first restored his mental power to its peak through meditation, and then opened the system's appraisal module and used two points of reverence to mark his failure this time. Make an identification.
"Did you make a mistake in the operation of mental power?" Lucian nodded lightly, then he arranged the table and started the twenty-second attempt.
