Chapter 1124 - Maximum Brewing



Chapter 1124: Maximum Brewing

After two hours, Wizard Dolan took out a portal bag and placed it outside the seclusion circle. Behind him were Wizard Doran and Wizard Golan. Both had very serious looks on their faces. Both of them were worried that the ingredients they collected this time would go to waste. Wizard Dolan was just as worried as them, but he was different because he was much more confident in Master Bennett.

As for where his confidence came from, it had to do with all the “light recovery potions,” “power potions,” and “mana potions” that were produced before. Also, his own life was saved by Master Bennett’s potion.

Abel walked out of the circle and saw the three legendary wizards, “You got the ingredients, Wizard Dolan?”

Wizard Dolan passed the bag over, “100 portions ready, Master Bennett.”

“Good! Pass the ingredients over after two hours,” Abel took the bag over, then threw Wizard Dolan another bag, “The mana resistance potions are in this. You take care of it.”

Wizard Dolan was about to say something in response, but Abel was already walking back into the seclusion circle. So when he inserted his power of the Will to inspect the bag, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Wizard Doran was a bit uncertain, “The brew works?”

After two hours, the brew should’ve only worked once. According to the rumors, Master Bennett had an extremely high success rate, but to get it right in one go was nothing short of a miracle. The Wizard Union’s estimate was a 50% success rate, but in truth, Abel didn’t want them to know that the number was actually 100%.

Wizard Dolan just started laughing, “Ha, ha ha!”

Wizard Doran was concerned, “Stop laughing, Dolan! Is it good or not?”

Wizard Dolan laughed, “We’ve underestimated Master Bennett this whole time! The whole continent underestimated him. He’s better than the other three potionmasters, no, actually, he’s better than all three of them combined!”

The Wizard Union did think about bringing the other three potion masters over. However, given their fighting capabilities, the presence of one sea creature would kill them. The reason that they had Master Bennett was really because he was a dragon druid. That, combined with the protection of the other three legendary wizards, was what made the Wizard Union decide that they should trust Master Bennett.

Wizard Dolan threw the portal bag to Wizard Doran, “You’ve underestimated him as well!”

Wizard Golan saw Wizard Doran’s expression. He was more curious than surprised. After snatching the bag off, he saw a total of 20 mana rabbit potions, each with blue lightning sparks over the surface. The amount they collected was all turned into products in two hours. Not only that, they were all blue quality potions.

Wizard Golan spoke out loud, “So that’s how he’s so rich!”

The Potionmaster Guild would always demand clients to make five portions for one brew. This was because failures would happen. It’s just how things were. However, if one could guarantee a 100% success rate, all the four other portions would be for the potion master to take. This meant that a lot more income would come apart from the actual income.

For master-level potion, the ingredients that were needed were mostly scarce. Some of them were sold at ridiculous prices. Like the “longevity potion,” some of them only contained materials from the ancient ruins. Most class holders would spend their entire lives collecting five amounts worth.

Wizard Dolan smiled, “You think all potionmasters are like Master Bennett, Golan?”

Wizard Doran interrupted, “I don’t care, Dolan! Next time, just have Master Bennett help brewing the potion. I’ll do my part to provide only one portion, even if you replace the other portions with, I don’t know, whatever!”

Although legendary wizards could live long enough to get the ingredients in time, they couldn’t secure the quality of the longevity potions. Also, the longevity potion could only be consumed once in a person’s lifetime. Under most situations, when the longevity potion was brewed, the quality would only be regular. When Master Bennett put out the blue quality potion, Wizard Doran was starting to see hope.

Wizard Dolan saw the other two legendary wizards, “It’s okay if you help Master Bennett brew the potion, but make sure you don’t spread the news too much.”

Wizard Golan was already nodding, “Of course we’re not! We keep this to ourselves!”

Wizard Dolan interrupted and laughed, “Just go and collect the ingredients! Actually, you think Master Bennett will give us a perfect product this time?”

Wizard Golan was already changing his mind, “It’s Master Bennett. Why, of course!”

Wizard Dolan and Wizard Doran both laughed. They knew that the mission this time would be accomplished perfectly. The number of the mana resistance potion was already enough to be distributed to the law-defying wizards fighting on the frontline. Before, the Wizard Union would only give the potion to the legendary potions. Now, all the law-defying wizards were guaranteed to get their own.

After two hours, Wizard Dolan was already waiting outside of the seclusion circle. With some motivation in mind, he began collecting the herbs. Abel was walking out of the circle when the time went up. He took out the mana resistance potion, all 100 blue quality bottles, and threw them to the ground. Then, he took the portal bag in Wizard Dolan’s hand and walked to the seclusion circle.

Wizard Dolan couldn’t help but be amazed, “This is insane!”

Another 100% success rate brew. Abel was also gaining a lot more alchemist energy from brewing this type of potion. His alchemist rune was starting to fill up every time he made a brew.

In this world, the study of potions and potionology was a systemic study founded on the documents left since ancient times. After generations of research, the recipes were improved and recorded to fit into the context and demands of that particular time. The procedures were hard, but many potion masters had been busy persisting their research, and that’s what resulted in the Potionmaster’s Guild as what it was today.

Among the potion recipes, apart from some of the newer ones invented, many existing ones were improved versions of the original ones from ancient times. The potion master-level ones Abel made before, for instance, consisted of mostly ancient ingredients. As it was not easy to find the ancient ingredients, countless research was done to look for the right supplementary materials, which was good. More potions were made than ever before, and the cost of manufacturing was going down.

However, the gains of training as potion masters were starting to go down. This could be seen from the fact that no grandmaster potion master ever existed in modern times. Without using ancient ingredients and not substitutes, it would be much harder to fill the alchemist run with one’s energy. This herb garden was definitely something of a rarity in that regard. As all the ingredients belonged to ancient times, the amount of energy being rewarded was equivalent.

Same in ancient times. No potion masters had the same success rate as Abel, and no potion masters could mass-produce the master-level potions. So he was the only one making actual progress in filling his alchemist rune.

Abel was acting very much like he was in a rush. On the second, he just stopped talking after walking out of the seclusion circle. He only wanted to focus on his potion. Although he thought that it would take at least several decades or centuries to fill up his alchemist runes, he was starting to see the hope of his rune being filled up after allowing the mass production two times.

In the initial brew, he did feel an influx of energy when he was done making the twenty bottles. For the second time, he could feel an obvious increase after the manufacturing. In this herb garden, he would be going out after every two hours. When he was done, he would throw the potions on the ground and return to the seclusion circle. The three legendary wizards never stopped collecting the ingredients. They had no time to rest, not even the time to continue eating.

On the noon of the second day, Abel was walking out of the seclusion circle once more. This time, after throwing the bottles of the mana resistance potion, he also threw out three bottles of the blue howling rabbit flavor “ration potion.”

Wizard Golan picked up a ration potion with a bitter look, “I miss the days on the ancient submarine!”

On the five days, they were on the ancient submarine. They used to show dishes containing Abel’s rabbit essence. They were also drinking red wine and water spirit fruit juices that were synthesized twice. Now, they could only have the ration potion.

Wizard Dolan shook his head, “Would you stop whining? Master Bennett’s still brewing his potions, and what’s he got to eat?”

Wizard Dolan then drank the ration potion. Suddenly, his eyes started to sparkle. He used to dislike ration potions, but this one tasted quite good.

Wizard Dolan threw a menacing smile at Wizard Golan, “Can you give me the bottle, Golan? I don’t think you want this?”

Wizard Golan’s eyes sparkled as well, “I see what you’re trying. Actually, I’m pretty hungry now, so no.”

For the next few days, Abel continued to craft the potions without rest. He only stopped on the eighth day, and it was only because there were no ingredients left. As large as the size of the garden potion, the ingredients that could be used only took up a small fraction. Abel had brewed the 9000 bottles of the blue quality potion. The number was enough to clear up everything.

Abel could feel the alchemist rune inside of him starting to fill him. He believed that more potions would keep him in full state. Still, the ingredients were already gone. He had no chance to promote himself to become a grandmaster potion master.

On a side note, Wizard Golan was thinking about asking for more ration potions from Abel, but he never felt hungry even after eight days. He didn’t know what Abel was giving him was a special edition that would last ten days, whereas the ones available in most markets would last for three.
