Leo took a deep breath.

His "golden touch" was a bit too strong.

Even an unfinished medicine can be completed in one step.

All that remains is to enhance its effectiveness.

Leo thought to himself, 'This absolutely cannot be exposed. Someone who isn't even a wizard has managed to perfect a potion formula that even qualified wizards crave; this is beyond genius.'

Leo then tried to learn how to use the potion, but quickly withdrew from the learning process.

Leo rubbed his temples.

The mental strain was severe.

This potion is far beyond the advanced potion formulas that he can currently learn.

However, with the acquisition of these herbal materials, Leo's basic potion-making encyclopedia also received a considerable amount of feedback.

As the foundation of the higher-level potion encyclopedia, these lower-level encyclopedias can be used to supplement and enhance your potion skills.

Leo thought to himself, 'If only I could find the lower-level illustrations for the Elementary Meditation Technique.'

The Elementary Meditation Method is the most difficult to improve among the illustrations that Leo currently possesses, aside from those that require high refinement points and cannot yet be learned.

It took Leo a great deal of time to master even the basic, low-quality meditation technique.

Meditation is the source of spiritual energy, a core ability of wizards.

It is the foundation of the entire wizarding system.

The best thing would be to get access to high-quality illustrations as soon as possible.

The next day, at the same time of nine o'clock, Leo and Chris arrived at the teaching room.

Chris looked at the empty classroom and said with mixed feelings, "Leo, now it's just the two of us."

"Sigh, it's a bit lonely to think about it."

"I wonder what happened to Sono and John. I heard they weren't expelled from the Tower of Dawn, but were taken away by the Uriel Assembly."

Leo said indifferently, "Their situation is no longer our concern. Let's focus on our studies as wizards."

"Yeah, I guess so." Chris shrugged.

Shortly after, Sally arrived, empty-handed.

Sally stood on the lecturer's platform, and then some bottles and potion-making utensils appeared on the platform.

Leo was very envious of these utensils.

Sally said, "Before we begin the lessons, we first need to understand what Potions is."

"The discipline of potion-making involves infusing herbs with spiritual energy to enable them to exert effects valuable to wizards. Examples of wizard potions include those that enhance memory, increase defensive resilience, and strengthen cellular vitality."

"There are three basic operations for beginners in potion making: blending, sorting, and smelting."

"The most difficult part is reconciliation."

"Next, you will use the book I sent you to mix the fish herbs you bought."

After Sally finished speaking, she called Leo over: "Danville, you go first."

Leo was surprised that he was called first. Although he was a little taken aback, he still stepped forward.

Leo took out his fish vanilla.

Sally's gaze was instantly drawn to it. She said, "Danville, your Fish Vanilla is of perfect quality... It seems you have quite a talent for potions."

Sally had tried selecting fish herbs, but failed.

Seeing Leo take out the perfect quality fish vanilla was quite a surprise.

Leo was concentrating intently on the fish-herb in his hand.

Leo placed the fish vanilla in a container on the table and then evenly infused it with spiritual energy.

Leo read the herb encyclopedia several times yesterday and understood why Sally chose this herb for the first lesson.

When infused with spiritual energy, the fish-herb has a strong absorption capacity, requiring few techniques or variations.

It is the most suitable herb to be used for the initial potion-making instruction.

Even as Leo was reading the images, the gentle voice appeared in his mind.

"Having mastered the inferior quality Fish Herb in the Compendium, you have gained 10 Refinement Points."

With the help of the lower-level encyclopedia, Leo gained a deeper understanding of basic potion-making.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, Leo quickly completed the infusion of spiritual energy using the most perfect technique from the inferior-quality Fish Herb Illustrated Manual.

Sally, seeing this, also said, "That's right. It seems that Senior Nova was right; you do indeed have a talent for potions."

Leo smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Sally the Wizard."

"Alright, next up is Chris."

Chris was a little nervous. It was just him and Leo here, which meant that he was being directly compared to Leo.

Chris felt that he was completely outmatched by Leo's excellence.

Chris said awkwardly, "Witch Sally, I don't think I need to. I haven't even scratched the surface of Potions."

Leo chimed in, "Didn't you say yesterday you wanted to compete with Nova the Wizard? Now, you're scared just because it's your turn to take an introductory potion course."

Sally's face showed a strange expression when she heard that Chris wanted to be with Novably.

Leo and Nova are somewhat comparable.

As for Chris... these two are not even in the same league.

However, Chris was persuaded by what Leo said.

"Alright, let's give it a try. At worst, we'll just be defeated by Leo's talent."

Chris sighed inwardly, then, prepared to be utterly defeated by Leo, he went straight up and was about to begin his mental energy infusion.

Then Sally said, "Hmm, the fish herbs you chose are of inferior quality."

Chris was already discouraged by Sally's words before he even started.

Chris scratched his head and said, "Witch Sally, does this mean I have no talent for potions?"

"That's not necessarily true. You should try it first."

Upon hearing this, Chris refocused his mind and began channeling his spiritual energy.

After a short while, the process of mixing the ingredients was completed.

Sally nodded slightly and said, "It's alright."

Chris's performance wasn't outstanding, but it met the average standard.

Upon hearing this, Chris wiped the sweat from his brow, secretly relieved.

Judging from Sally's evaluation, Chris's performance is within the normal range, rather than being a weak assessment of insufficient effort or lack of talent.

Chris asked curiously, "Witch Sally, I wonder what our scores would be in the overall evaluation for today?"

Sally said, "The overall assessment score for Potions is based on the potions you concoct. However, a typical beginner potion will probably only get one or two points."

Sally said, "Over the next two weeks, I will try my best to teach you the three practical aspects of potions: blending, sorting, and smelting."

"Within two weeks, you need to concoct a potion under my guidance. You can decide for yourself which potion to concoct."

"You can come to me anytime during this period if you have any questions about refining potions."

"Two weeks from now, I will include your findings in your resumes and submit them to the research lab of the Asmond Assembly wizards."

"Only if you succeed in refining it can I give you a passing grade in the field of potion-making."

"Passing a subject is related to whether you can find a research lab. You must study diligently."

Sally reminded her.

Although Leo and Chris aren't as busy with socializing as John, Sally is still worried that they might neglect their studies.

"Yes, Lady Sally the Wizard."

"Also, it's best to choose the potions you want to refine within the first week, which will give you plenty of time."

"I have all the potion recipes from the introductory books on potion-making. You can just ask me for the recipes when the time comes."

"As for the materials for refining, you can ask me for magic stones, and I will deduct these magic stones from your scholarships. However, you are only allowed to take a maximum of three magic stones from me."

Sally finished speaking and was about to leave get out of class when she heard Leo say, "Witch Sally, I've already chosen the potion."
