9 Helping (1/2)

”Let's go.” After finishing, Lin Yun took the three potions and left the alchemy laboratory.

Lin Yun's words snapped Raymond out of his intense introspection about his pride, and after getting his bearings, the young mage mumbled, ”Eh… Yes!” But before leaving, he seemed to recall something... If he wasn't wrong, when Young Master Merlin cleaned the alchemy table, he seemed to have thrown the test tube used for the red coral solution into the incinerator...

Although he had already seen with his own eyes that the flame rock didn't cause the red coral solution to erupt earlier, he still had those teachings stuck in his mind. He began to ask, ”That red coral solution…”

”Don't worry, there will be no issue.” Before Raymond had even asked anything, Lin Yun had already answered. Lin Yun knew what was troubling Raymond, which was whether the remnants of the red coral solution would explode in the incinerator.

It wouldn't, of course.

How much longer would it take before alchemists were able to find out that the problem of red coral solution going violently out of control when heated or agitated wasn't something unsolvable? A bit of moonlight sand and a short incantation was enough to fix that problem.

When that time came, the discovery would change the way that alchemy was taught, a great number of new techniques would emerge, and countless alchemists would be deeply immersed in studying the red coral solution. They would make use of the incredible amount of magic contained inside to make countless shocking achievements in the field.

And among these were the three Spectrum Potions in Lin Yun's pocket.

That's right, these weren't Colorful Potions, they were Spectrum Potions. Naturally, Raymond wasn't completely wrong in his assessment. The scent and magic fluctuations of the Spectrum Potion were the same as those of the Colorful Potion, and even the effects weren't totally different.

Though, even if they were similar, they weren't completely the same.

After all, the added effect of the red coral solution was a game changer. The only use of the Colorful Potion was to purify the mana whirlpool. There was no need to use a dangerous material that was full of mana like the red coral solution for this.

Only the Spectrum Potion had this kind of mana requirement. Even if the Spectrum Potion could also purify the mana whirlpool, the main effect was to strengthen the mana whirlpool. After bathing in the glow of the moonlight sand, the red coral solution's mana was even more stable. Adding the thousand knot flowers made it so that the mana could be absorbed by mages.

Although absorbing the mana seemed difficult and would need a large amount of time, it was extremely valuable. Even the worst mage would be able to understand. What did a mage yearn for most? It was definitely the chance to strengthen their mana whirlpool. As long as they had a mana whirlpool that was strong enough, a mage could be nearly omnipotent.

And the Spectrum Potion offered that possibility.

Despite it not being as good at purifying the mana whirlpool as the Colorful Potion, there were no other alternatives for strengthening the mana whirlpool, so the Spectrum Potion was bound to be worth more than the Colorful Potion.

Especially for the mages that had yet to reach 9th Rank. They weren't in a hurry to purify their mana whirlpools and were still trying to just strengthen them as much as possible. They were the true targets for the sale of the Spectrum Potion. Moreover, there were far more of those mages than the ones at 9th Rank who were on the verge of breaking through.

”Oh right, Raymond, help me with something.”

”Eh? Help?” Raymond was still a bit dazed and subconsciously expressed his confusion, but he immediately reacted and corrected himself. 'That's a 20-year-old alchemist, he is someone that can trample my pride anytime, I can't offend him, I really can't offend him.'

Thus, Raymond hurriedly answered with a smile, ”Please tell me what to do.”

Unfortunately for him, Lin Yun didn't pay attention to the fact that Raymond was addressing him so politely for the first time. He only took the three potions from his pocket and said, ”Help me deliver these potions. This bottle is for the Victorious Return Main Street's auction house, tell them that I need it sold within three days, and let them decide the price. This potion is for the Mage Guild, I need a library pass with the highest privileges. As for the remaining potion… Do as you wish.”

”Okay, auction house, Mage Guild, me… As I wish…?”

”Yes, as you wish, you can decide. If you want to drink it or give it away, do as you wish.”

”Eh…” The hand that was holding the Spectrum Potions suddenly shook, and he nearly dropped the potions.

”These are Spectrum Potions. Besides purifying the mana whirlpool, it can also strengthen the mana whirlpool. I see that you should be a 5th Rank Mage, so drinking this should be very beneficial for you.”
