Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 80 White Elf's Magic Growth Potion

"No, Wizard Mord only let me watch."

"Me too..." Lexus said, "Although I've made some progress, it feels very difficult. Advanced Potions seems much harder to learn than Basic Potions. I hope that by the time this lab project ends, I'll have mastered impurity separation."

Leo was quite surprised to hear that Lexus had made some gains.

He also realized once again the gap between himself and a normal wizarding genius.

Lexus has only 11 points of spiritual energy, 4 points less than Leo.

Without the help of the encyclopedia, even with slightly higher mental energy, Leo's learning ability still lagged behind those of these wizarding geniuses.

Lexus seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, abandoning his previous silence, and said, "However, the biggest gain from this trip was the crafting of level 1 potions. Although I couldn't craft a complete level 1 potion all at once, it involved basic potion-making techniques like sorting, which weren't difficult to learn."

"That's right," Leo said. "It seems that as long as you have a solid grasp of basic potion-making, you can also use sorting when crafting level 1 potions."

The two started chatting.

Hughes listened from the side, looking at Lexus with suspicion.

Lexus had never spoken to anyone so proactively before, except for the instructors and teaching assistants at the gathering.

Hughes interjected, "Lexus, why are you so talkative when you're with Leo?"

Lexus said, "I just don't want to talk to people who aren't good enough. It feels like a waste of my time."

"Hehehe." Hughes' face showed a smug look after hearing this, and he said, "Then you've already figured out that I'm a genius of a very high level by talking to me."

"...Talking to you has nothing to do with that." Lexus's expression was indifferent, but his tone carried a hint of helplessness. He said, "If I don't talk to you, I feel like you'll keep bothering me and wasting my time. So rather than letting you waste my time, I'd rather take the initiative to talk to you, that way you won't keep bothering me."

Hughes: "..."

Leo suppressed a laugh.

Leo now understood why Hughes had said he didn't like Lexus.

Lexus's style of doing things means that people who lack talent and strength are basically just passersby with no value to them.

Although Hughes has a level 4 mental power talent, he is not worth communicating with in front of Lexus, who has a level 5 mental power talent.

At this moment, in Lexus's eyes, the only people who could meet his communication requirements, besides those who had already become wizards, were geniuses with level 5 mental power talent or above.

After chatting for a while, Leo said, "I need to go buy something, let's part ways here."

"goodbye."

After saying goodbye to the two, Leo headed to the Woodpecker's Hut.

Upon seeing Leo enter, the elf at the counter greeted him with a smile and said, "Hello, Wizard Leo, what would you like to buy?"

Leo said, "I want to buy potions to enhance my mental energy, preferably ones suitable for a third-rate wizard apprentice like myself."

The elf thought for a moment and said, "Besides this requirement, are there any other requirements? For example, do you want it to be cheap or expensive, of ordinary or high quality, with mild or severe side effects?"

After a moment's thought, Leo said, "The price should be below 150 magic stones, the quality should be excellent, and the side effects should be short-term or only temporary and not seriously affect my work."

"Alright." The elf pondered for a moment and then said, "I recommend two potions to you."

"One is a White Elf Mana Growth Potion. The other is a Night Spirit Strengthening Potion."

"The cost of both is the same. And the price of both high-quality potions is 140 magic stones."

"Aside from the side effects of mental radiation, both of them have their own side effects."

"After taking the White Elf Mana Growth Potion, one will experience anemia for several days, but the duration of this anemia depends on the individual's physical condition. Those in good health will recover easily. For a Prosperan like you, Wizard Leo, the recovery should be quite rapid."

"After taking the Nighttime Mental Strengthening Potion, you will experience continuous muscle pain all over your body for several days."

"Among similar types of potions, both of these have a moderate to high effect on enhancing mental energy."

Leo pondered for a moment.

Both of these side effects are short-term, and their impact doesn't seem to be very significant.

The drug's effect is above average, indicating that it is quite good compared to others of the same type.

Leo said, "Give me two bottles of White Elf Mana Growth Potion and two bottles of Night Spirit Strengthening Potion. Both types of potions must be of superior quality."

"Okay, it's ready for you now."

When the fairy lady at the counter went to prepare.

Leo waited where he was.

Leo's gaze unconsciously fell on the mission assignment posted next to him.

This is a material collection commission issued by the manager of Woodpecker's Hut. The only requirement for the commission is to master the magic of the flesh and blood puppet type.

Leo looked at the request document and pondered for a moment.

"Yes, Wizard Leo, your potion is ready. It costs 560 magic stones in total."

Leo picked up the potion.

The counter sprite noticed that Leo had been looking at the commission, and she said, "Master Leo, you've been looking at the commission for a while now. Are you interested in it?"

Leo nodded and said, "I am indeed somewhat interested; I'm a bit short on magic stones lately."

The counter sprite's eyes lit up, and she said, "Actually, I highly recommend that you take on this commission. The difficulty of this commission lies not in your personal safety, but in the fact that very few people would learn flesh and blood puppet-type spells."

Leo rested his chin on his right hand and asked, "Are flesh-and-blood puppet-type spells rarely used?"

"Yes, flesh and blood puppet-type spells are considered relatively unimpressive by wizards. They can neither create effective attacks nor provide any guarantee for one's survival. However, the main problem is that they are difficult to learn."

The counter elf said, "The Flesh and Blood Puppet spell uses itself as the medium, requiring a certain level of physical strength. For a Protoss like you, Wizard Leo, it's much easier to learn. But it's quite difficult for others."

"Most wizards simply wouldn't spend the time learning such a useless type of spell."

"The reward for this commission from the shopkeeper isn't exactly generous, but it's not bad either. You only need one set of materials to get 50 magic stones."

The elf recommended the benefits of this commission to Leo.

Leo asked, "Approximately how many sets of materials does your shop manager, Barbara, need? Also, how many sets of materials can she collect at a time?"

Seeing that Leo was interested, the elf continued, "I don't know how many materials the shopkeeper needs. But based on the previous situation, you should be able to collect three to four sets of materials at a time."

Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll think about it."

A single mission could yield two hundred magic stones, which was quite appealing to Leo.
