Wizard System: Dissecting a Mutated Monster From the Start - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: Invitation from the White Orchid
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
As Edward expected, the boss started hiring the next day.
One plant for one gold coin!
With such a sky-high reward, all the ingredients for the Cleansing Potion were collected.
At the same time, this matter had also been published in the White Orchid Daily and attracted the attention of everyone in the city. They were all asking if there would still be such a good thing in the future!
After the transaction with Hakka and when the money entered his account, he was completely convinced that Edward was a real tycoon.
Meanwhile, news of Edward’s huge payment to search for herbs had spread.
Hakka would never leak the information of such a generous guest.
Edward was the one who spread the news himself.
Currently, in another clean room in the hotel.
Four-leafed flower, starry grass, mist flower…
Edward looked at the ten plants on the table and began his first alchemy potion refinement.
He had also bought everything related to alchemy potions from Hakka, and his spiritual power had recovered to its original state after three days.
The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the dizziness in his head.
Was his brain really damaged?
With this dangerous thought, he asked the system to check his body condition again. In the end, he found that the dizziness after teleportation could only be slowly alleviated over time.
With the help of the system, the steps of refining the Cleansing Potion, the strength of the flame, the time needed to add the potion, and the fusion of spiritual power were all engraved in his mind.
As long as he followed these steps, the success rate of the final concoction would be as high as 90%, and the product would have no impurities.
Edward began his attempt. First, he threw the mist attribute plant into the furnace and then crushed the supportive plant juice into it.
Time trickled under Edward’s full attention, and the alchemy process was coming to an end. The potion in the furnace had changed color, from a milky white to a dark blue, and the most crucial part was the addition of spiritual power.
With the addition of his spiritual power, the alchemy potion officially reached its final step. Beads of sweat began to form on Edward’s forehead. After all, this was his first practice.
Even with the help of the system, it was not that easy.
His body was too stiff for those specialized movements.
As his spiritual power decreased, Edward heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the potion change.
Sizzle~
With a soft sound, a fragrant aroma floated in the room. The Cleansing Potion was completed!
“System, create a training plan using the template of my earlier attempt and also help me gain muscle memory!”
[System prompt: Creating the training plan… Actions of the alchemy steps have been learned. Information has been stored in the system database.]
Edward looked at the purplish-blue liquid in the furnace curiously. It was crystal clear without any impurities.
He poured the medicine into a glass bottle that he had prepared beforehand.
A basic Cleansing Potion was concocted.
Generally speaking, beginners would only start practicing after a year of theoretical knowledge, and they would fail at least dozens of times each time.
They would slowly gain experience from the process of refining potions.
This was the reason why alchemists were so rare. Firstly, it was a waste of time and money, and secondly, it could not give the strength and lifespan of a wizard.
However, after becoming a true alchemist, the benefits were also immense.
With the help of the system, he directly gained more than a year of theoretical knowledge and started to practice it directly. In practice, he even had the system guiding him step by step.
All he needed to do now was to get over the fact that his body was too stiff.
——————
As time flew by, Edward stayed in the inn for about a month, concocting potions in peace.
He had already refined the two most basic potions dozens of times.
The amount of money that had been used was close to a thousand gold coins.
Among them, not just the owner of the inn, but even the children who sold newspapers, the lady boss of the flower shop, and the blacksmith had been hired.
Hence, he unlocked some other interesting potions.
For example, a Rabbit Potion that could turn others into rabbits, or a Meditation Potion that could speed up the drawing of inscriptions.
There were dozens of bottles of different sizes.
The Meditation Potion was the most difficult to concoct. Even with the help of the system, he had also failed two or three times before he could master it.
Edward’s character panel had been updated again during this time.
[Host: Edward Feylan]
[Identity: Heir to the Feylan Family]
[Strength: Rank 1 Wizard (Sky Knight)]
[Class Branch: Alchemist (Lv3)]
[Constitution: 72]
[Spiritual Power: 42]
[Bloodline: Snake of Curses]
[Ability: Corrosive Water (Lv1), Night Stealth (Lv6), Shadow Control (Lv5), Thorn Vine (Lv1), Blazing Fireball (Lv2)]
[Special Passive: Spirit Vision, Pressure, Heat Sensor…]
Who would have thought that meditating with the Meditation Potion could also greatly increase one’s spiritual power!
But just as Edward was thinking, he heard knocking at the door.
Immediately after, a wave of spiritual power swept over, bringing about a breeze.
This spiritual power was extremely careful, as if it was afraid of touching something, as if it was spying!
Edward’s lips curled into a smile. It seemed that they had taken the bait already.
He used his powerful spiritual power to invade the other party’s mind through this spying spiritual power. The moment the invasion succeeded, a scream came from outside the door!
Immediately after, there was a loud knock on the door.
It was accompanied by a young voice: “Senior, it is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Esteemed Lord Wizard, please spare my companion!”
“System, did you hack all the useful information in the other party’s mind?”
Edward asked calmly as he sipped his tea while ignoring the ones outside.
[System prompt: All useful information has been obtained!]
Edward nodded, retracted his invasive spiritual power, and opened the door.
He saw two very young Apprentice Wizards who had probably just become wizards recently.
The companion, who was spying on him, was staring at Edward in fear, his face covered in sweat.
“We are very sorry, oh noble Wizard. We are Apprentice Wizard from the White Orchid. We have just become wizards and do not know the rules. We are truly sorry!”
“Our teacher let us come here to invite you to the annual White Orchid Ball. It’s a gathering of wizards, and I’m sure you’ll like it there!”
