Chapter 8: Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion

Su Nan had never been particularly interested in banquets, and now that he had found the thing he had been yearning for, he had even less desire to stay. After a few words with Kei, he left the banquet hall early and returned to his courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Su Nan saw two boxes placed in the courtyard. He used Master’s Hand to move the two boxes into his study and then opened them to examine them carefully.

One of the boxes contained more than a dozen books. On the dark hard covers, intricate and irregular lines formed words that only wizards (apprentices) could understand.

*Fatigue’s Touch*, *Detecting Toxicity*, *Lockpicking*, *Enchanting Humans*, *Shield Technique*, *Analysis of Heterogeneous Lifeforms*, *Necrotic Rebirth*, *Negative Energy Principle*.

Of the twelve books, five were spell model books, while the rest were various professional knowledge books. Among these five spells, *Enchanting Humans* and *Shield Technique* were both first-ring spells.

“First-ring spells?” Su Nan’s eyes lit up with excitement.

*Enchanting Humans* and *Shield Technique* were both very practical first-ring spells. *Shield Technique*, in particular, was a life-saving spell that almost every wizard apprentice had to learn.

Unfortunately, to learn a first-ring spell, one’s Spiritual Power had to reach at least 10 points. He was still far from that.

“Although the wizards have abandoned this world, they left behind many books, magical items, and even legacies,” Su Nan mused. “These things are useless to ordinary people, they can’t even understand them. But for wizard apprentices, they are precious treasures.”

Su Nan smiled. As long as they were willing to spend time and have enough financial resources, any wizard apprentice could actually collect enough knowledge in this world to advance to a formal wizard.

Of course, resources were another matter.

Although the two first-ring spells were temporarily out of reach, the three zero-ring spells were not a problem. Su Nan put away the spell books, planning to study them slowly later.

He then flipped through the remaining professional knowledge books one by one, but unfortunately, none of them triggered the corresponding skills. It seemed that these knowledge were not categorized as skills.

“I’ll keep them and read them slowly when I have time. It’s good to expand my knowledge,” Su Nan sighed in disappointment, putting the books away. He then opened the other box.

The box was crammed with various small boxes, of different sizes. Su Nan opened them one by one.

As expected, the boxes contained various preserved materials.

“Calm-Heart Herb, Dragon Eye Mint, Black Spotted Python Bone Powder… they are all materials for making the Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion!”

After finally counting them, except for the Mind-Enlightenment Tree Sap, all the materials for making the Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion were complete.

Moreover, the amount was quite substantial, enough to make forty or fifty potions.

“With so many materials, I should be able to research a new version of the Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion.” Su Nan was immediately eager to get started, and he took the materials and went straight to the laboratory.

The progress bar for the Star Ring Meditation Method was already more than halfway completed. If he had the Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion to assist him, he would be able to construct the first Star Ring soon.

Arriving at the laboratory, Su Nan lit the candles and went straight to the long table filled with beakers and test tubes. In the past three months, he had made at least two hundred Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potions. His Potion Making had already reached Lv2, more than sufficient for zero-order potion experiments. ??

So, in addition to his meditation and spell practice, Su Nan now had an extra job: potion experiments. He continuously synthesized different purity and volume of Silver Moon Flower Essence, experimenting with its compatibility with other materials, and exploring the optimal proportions for its substitutes.

Starlight Calendar 1249, Revitalization Moon (February)

Since the Black Scale Lizardfolk had completely retreated to their lair in the Red Horned Wasteland, Blackstone City, free from threats, had become completely relaxed. Kei focused his attention on managing the territory.

Because Blackstone City was located in the south, the climate was warmer, and the snow that had accumulated at the beginning of the month was beginning to melt. It was expected that they could start sowing and tilling by Spring Dawn Moon (March).

Kei had ordered the militia to build irrigation canals in the territory early, bringing in river water to prepare for the farming in Spring Dawn Moon. With the irrigation of the river water, this year’s harvest was bound to be excellent.

In addition, Kei also encouraged the serfs in the territory to fish in their spare time, using the river water, as a way to increase the territory’s income.

After a battle with the Black Scale Lizardfolk, the Blackstone City army had not weakened, but rather increased in strength. Under the effect of the Lower-Grade Dragon Blood Potion, the number of knights had increased from the original nine to twenty-one.

Moreover, this number was expected to increase steadily over the next two months until they ran out of accumulated Black Scale Lizardfolk blood. This brought about a significant increase in the territory’s meat consumption.

After all, a knight could eat thirty or forty pounds of meat a day if they ate their fill. The beef and mutton from Blackstone City alone was not enough, so they had to find ways to increase fishing.

However, fishing could only slightly alleviate the food problem. Kei had to spend money to buy large amounts of meat from other cities.

In addition, his younger brother’s research was also a huge expense. Just last month’s batch of antiques and materials had cost him tens of gold coins, almost equivalent to Blackstone City’s monthly tax revenue. It made Kei’s heart ache as if it were bleeding.

But considering the long-term development of the territory, Su Nan’s research funding could not be cut off.

Kei, the lord, had been worrying about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure these days, losing a lot of hair over it.

Su Nan, who was locked in his laboratory wholeheartedly studying potions, was oblivious to this.

Mid-Revitalization Moon.

After tireless experimentation and research, Su Nan finally created the first bottle of Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion.

[Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion (Zero-Order/Inferior Quality), Increases spiritual vitality after consumption, lasts for 15 days and 4 hours, stacking has no effect.]

“It’s finally done!” Looking at the beautiful silver-blue liquid in the potion bottle, Su Nan let out a sigh of relief.

With the help of the Synthesis Cube, he could precisely control the invigorating effect of the Silver Moon Flower Essence, allowing it to approach the effect of Mind-Enlightenment Tree Sap infinitely, reaching the level of becoming a substitute.

The entire experiment process was basically about constantly adjusting the proportions of the materials, and it went exceptionally smoothly. That was why Su Nan was able to make the new version of the Lower-Grade Revitalization Potion so quickly.

Without hesitation, he immediately drank the potion, then sat down and began to meditate. A cool sensation like mint suddenly spread from his abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his body.

In an instant, Su Nan felt as if he were floating at the bottom of a cool lake, with an indescribable sense of peace.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body radiating with vitality. This was the positive effect brought by the slight increase in Spiritual Power in a short period of time.

Su Nan immediately opened his personal panel.

[Su Nan·Arnest, Human Male, 16 years old]

[Spirit 2.82/Constitution 2.94]

[Skills]

Star Ring Meditation Method Lv1 (750/1000)

Potion Making Lv2 (289/3000)

“My Spiritual Power has increased by 0.03, and my proficiency in the Star Ring Meditation Method has increased by 25 points,” Su Nan exclaimed in delight.

This efficiency was almost five times that of before!

“Sure enough, the effect of the potion is much better than just using plant essence!” Su Nan was overjoyed.

At this rate, he would be able to construct the first Star Ring in 10 days!
