Chapter 2395: Chapter 504: Nightmare Evolution! Sensing Everything, Nothing Can Hide!
The Thousand Mountains Immortal paused and said,
"This is a potion of epoch-making significance. Thank you, Madam Triss. As the president of the Pharmacist Association, I hereby award you the [Nine-star Medal]. From now on, you have nine-star authority to access the Pharmacist Association’s knowledge base."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Both Triss and other pharmacist officials at the headquarters gasped.
Nine-star authority is equivalent to the authority of a ninth-circle pharmacist. In the current Wizard World, there are only 56 wizards with this authority.
Of these, 14 are Legendary Wizards. Anyone promoted to Legend, whether or not they are a ninth-circle pharmacist, automatically receives this authority.
Among the remaining, 36 are Grand Wizards.
Only 6 are below the ninth-circle.
What an honor this is!
Triss was somewhat surprised.
She wanted to say that the potion owed more to the original formula provided by Knight Levi and Ms. Lucy’s contributions, but remembering their instructions, she held her tongue.
As a wizard wholly devoted to the potion industry, Triss had once fantasized about this day, now almost moved to tears of joy.
"Thank you, President, and everyone. I was merely lucky to have researched this potion. To prevent myself from being unworthy of the position, I will work hard to live up to the Association’s trust."
...
"I’ve received the Nine-star Medal!"
Triss immediately shared the good news with everyone, unable to conceal her joy.
"That’s fantastic!"
Elena hugged Triss, truly happy for her.
The two women danced in circles excitedly, looking like children.
Levi also showed a look of heartfelt satisfaction.
Madam Triss deserved it.
In fact, Triss wanted Levi to be recognized as the inventor of the potion, after all, the formula for the Knight Return Potion was given by Levi.
But Levi steadfastly refused. First, he hardly participated, spending most of his time practicing in seclusion; second, he wished to repay Madam for her years of kindness, and nothing was more fitting than the honor of the [Nine-star Medal].
"Thank you, Levi."
Triss thanked him earnestly.
Levi smiled and said,
"Why thank me? You should thank Ms. Lucy."
After discussion, the Witch Trace Return Potion was named [Triss’s Water of Erasure], simple and easy to understand.
This is a seven-circle potion, but of course, it’s also applicable to eighth-circle wizards.
Forget about the ninth-circle, at that point, witch marks are already set. The current version of the Water of Erasure can’t do it yet.
However, with knowledge development, it might be possible in the future.
Unlike some potions which only work once per person, [Water of Erasure] has no usage limit! If unsatisfied, one can disperse techniques and rebuild a second time, as long as there’s enough time and resources.
Triss and Gandaph began formulating subsequent plans in earnest.
This is a blue ocean market worth over a trillion and for a long time, there will be no competitors. Of course, it can’t be ruled out that some people might reverse-engineer the potion formula, but it’s very difficult.
Because the potion’s refinement itself involves many unique incantations and processes.
Even if all the materials are found, it might still be impossible to refine.
...
A year later.
The year 806 of Nora.
1230-year-old Levi stopped his cultivation of the "Nightmare Traveler" breathing technique.
"Reached the limit."
With the help of secret medicine from the pure-blood Dragon Clan, this breathing technique, which had always lagged behind the main group, achieved perfection shortly after the Death Ember Dragon.
In his hand floated a deep red potion, with a mesmerizing gleam, bewitching any who looked at it too long.
"Let’s begin."
...
While Levi was in seclusion, Elena and Triss each took [Water of Erasure] and embarked on their journeys to disperse techniques and rebuild.
This time, both had a minimum target of 15 Six Ring Witch Marks each. Elena even aimed for 22 marks.
Although Triss had less lifespan than Elena, her talent was also excellent and she hadn’t studied as diversely as Elena, so she also aimed for 22 marks.
Whether or not they could become legends in the future, one must always have dreams. Moreover, her spiritual force was not far off from the seven circles limit, already bearing 11 Seven Circle Witch Marks.
Being only over 1,800 years old, promotion to the eighth circle was more than achievable, with a total future lifespan of 4,000 years. As long as she continued progressing at this pace, the Grand Wizard level was within reach. If she could extend her life by another thousand years, even more so.
Meanwhile, the initial batch of 10 [Water of Erasure] was launched at Gandalf Pharmacy. The pre-launch publicity was ample, so on the first day, all 10 potions were sold out.
Seventh and eighth-circle wizards from various schools, in urgent need of this item, were already lined up at the door. The scene was comparable to the "far leading" term of past lives. The reason people trusted this newly developed potion so much was due to a report from the Pharmacist Association Headquarters:
[Recently, our member, seven-circle wizard Triss, developed a Witch Trace Return Potion, personally tested by the "Thousand Mountains Immortal" and confirmed to be without issues. This is a potion of epochal significance, enabling primordial soul wizards to reconsider their quantity of witch marks. The first batch is distributed through Gandalf Pharmacy, and those in need can purchase it themselves. Madam Triss was awarded the "Nine-star Medal" for her outstanding contribution.]
With the endorsement from both Legendary Wizards and the Pharmacist Association, the quality was undoubtedly reliable.
Of course, many chose to observe, awaiting the first batch of "guinea pigs" results first.
After all, the consequences of erasing witch marks were severe. If it couldn’t be restored, it would mean much of one’s cultivation would be in vain. In the future, they could only rely on innate spells.
