Abe the Wizard

Chapter 6 Master Level Potion

After leaving the town of Li Bao and returning to Bennett Castle, it was already getting late, with the sun starting to set in the west. It was important to leave before it got too late, as the road would become unsafe. Norman, who was accompanying Abbe, didn't say anything when he saw the box in Abbe's hand. He didn't care about what the young master had bought; his job was to ensure Abbe's safety.

Abbe had originally planned to put the box into the Heradric cube, but the cube only recognized one potion per slot, with a maximum capacity of 10 potions. Additionally, the town teleportation book also took up two slots, so he had no choice but to carry the box in his hand.

The journey back to the castle was uneventful, and Abbe arrived safely. At that time, Bennett Knights and his elder brother Zack were practicing horsemanship. Abbe had chosen this time to return precisely because, apart from his elder brother, neither his father nor mother would inquire about what he had bought. His parents strictly adhered to the rules of nobility and respected the privacy of each family member, including their secrets.

In this life, Abbe felt a different kind of familial love. This love was different from the love of parents on Earth, where parents almost encompassed every aspect of a child's life, including their studies, friendships, relationships, and marriage. On Earth, parents considered it a lack of trust if their children withheld secrets from them. In this life, however, Abbe's parents would listen to his choices in almost every important decision, even if those choices might significantly change his life. For instance, when Abbe chose to become a knight, the Bennett Knights knew very well the difficulties that lay ahead for the second son of the family, but they still agreed to Abbe's decision. This was a different kind of love, and both forms of love made Abbe very grateful. He felt lucky to receive two different but equally profound forms of love in his two lives.

Upon returning to his room, Abbe couldn't wait to open the box and take out a bottle of "Potion of Condensation." He carefully observed it in the fading sunlight. The bottle of "Potion of Condensation" displayed a constantly flickering white arc of light on its surface. Even without considering its other properties, such an appearance would be priceless back on Earth.

Abbe couldn't help but sigh. Since seeing the "Town Teleportation Book" yesterday, he had rarely thought about home for a year. Now, thoughts of his family on Earth would occasionally surface in his mind. Shaking his head, he forced himself not to dwell on these thoughts. The most important thing at the moment was his experiment. If successful, he could become stronger faster.

He took out three bottles of "Potion of Condensation" and placed them into the Heradric cube. With a nervous heart, he lightly pressed the synthesis button. The three bottles of "Potion of Condensation" disappeared in a burst of white light, transforming into one bottle of "Potion of Condensation." This bottle was different from the earlier ones; instead of the white arc of light, it now displayed a swirling blue arc.

Success! Abbe's heart raced at that moment. This should be the intermediate "Potion of Condensation." Though he had never seen an intermediate potion before, he was certain. The synthesis formula of the Heradric cube wouldn't be wrong.

Earning 20 gold coins, Abbe was hit by a peculiar thought. He couldn't help but smile. By value, three bottles of "Potion of Condensation" were worth 10 gold coins each, totaling 30 gold coins. A bottle of intermediate "Potion of Condensation" was worth 50 gold coins. Wasn't this a profit of 20 gold coins? Even in this serious moment, Abbe found this strange thought amusing.

He inserted another three bottles of "Potion of Condensation." At this point, Abbe felt like a master potion maker, skillfully concocting potions. Although excited and lost in wild thoughts, his hands didn't stop. He continuously placed the bottles into the Heradric cube for synthesis, and soon, 54 bottles of "Potion of Condensation" transformed into 18 bottles of intermediate "Potion of Condensation."

Looking at the full box of intermediate "Potion of Condensation" now arranged on the table, Abbe's emotions surged. Even if he didn't succeed in creating higher-level potions, he now had a means of survival in this world. Once he learned alchemy, mass-producing intermediate "Potion of Condensation" to become a respected alchemist was also a good choice, though becoming a knight was his current priority.

Calmly collecting himself, he picked up three bottles of intermediate "Potion of Condensation" and placed them in the Heradric cube. After pressing the synthesis button, there were no unexpected occurrences. The three bottles disappeared in a flash of light, and a bottle of "Potion of Condensation" appeared in the slot. This potion was surrounded by a golden arc of light, exuding an exquisite air. This was the advanced "Potion of Condensation." Abbe didn't know its exact value, but he did know that there weren't many grandmasters of potion-making within the principality.

Subsequently, 18 bottles of intermediate "Potion of Condensation" transformed into six bottles of advanced "Potion of Condensation." By now, Abbe was sure that his idea had been right. Spending all his money on these potions was the correct choice.

Once again, he inserted three bottles of advanced "Potion of Condensation" into the Heradric cube and pressed the synthesis button. Just like the previous times, the three bottles vanished, and a "Potion of Condensation" with a faint dark golden arc of light appeared in the slot. This was the master-level "Potion of Condensation." Abbe carefully picked it up. The contents of this potion were no longer transparent like the previous levels; rather, it resembled a liquid amber, somewhat viscous when gently shaken.

After another operation, Abbe finally obtained two bottles of master-level "Potion of Condensation," the ultimate potion for apprentice knights' training.

The question of how to use these two bottles of master-level "Potion of Condensation" now lay before Abbe. He couldn't risk exposing the Heradric cube, which was his most important means of survival in this world. He would have to find a safe opportunity to use the master-level potion. Safety came first.

The more Abbe learned about this world, the less secure he felt. On Earth, everything could be explained with science, but in this world, he couldn't apply Earth's scientific principles to explain a knight's power. Norman had injured his leg, and although it wasn't severe, on Earth, such injuries would take a hundred days to heal. Here, a low-level priest at a church easily treated it with a minor divine spell.

Li Bao Town, where Abbe resided, was just a small town. What inexplicable events might occur in the great cities and royal capitals?
