31 Volcano and Ghos (1/2)
Cadgar still had his eyes narrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking. The young Alchemist on the side was wide-eyed, looking at Lin Yun in disbelief as he wondered, 'How could someone refuse such an opportunity, he is crazy…'
At this time, the young Alchemist truly wished to change places with this fellow. It would be so great if a potion that he had refined could appear in the Black Horn Auction.
”Because I need money immediately. There are four things that I fancy in the Black Horn Auction, so I would need money right now in order to compete for these things.” Lin Yun decided to explain his reasoning since Cadgar had been so courteous with him while Lin Yun had rejected him twice already, which could be considered quite impolite.
When he heard Lin Yun's explanation, the squinting Cadgar suddenly smiled. ”Mage Merlin, this is an easy matter to deal with. I can appraise your two potions right away. However much they are initially valued at is how much credit we'll front you to use in the auction. Moreover, I can guarantee that their eventual price will exceed my estimation.”
”That should be good…” Lin Yun nodded and took out the two potions from his pocket.
Cadgar glanced at them for a moment before an expression of amazement appeared on his face. He promptly grabbed the two potions and frowned as he carefully analyzed them. After a long time, he nodded gently as he turned back and asked uncertainly, ”Volcano Potion?”
”Indeed, a Volcano Potion.”
Lin Yun's calm answer made Cadgar hold his breath, ”My god…”
And the young Alchemist who had wished to be in Lin Yun's shoes suddenly felt everything turning black around him when he heard those words.
'Volcano Potion, it's actually a Volcano Potion…'
Even if no one paid attention to him, the young Alchemist still subconsciously bowed. He was hoping for a hole to appear so he could jump inside.
It was the rumored Volcano Potion that could make one's mana burst like a volcano and let a Great Mage break through the High Mage boundary… It had appeared in front of him, and he had valued it at just 300 gold coins and treated it as trash...
That potion was the mark of a Great Alchemist. Being able to compound a Volcano Potion meant that one was surely qualified to enter the ranks of the Great Alchemists.
'This young mage… he is a Great Alchemist…'
Someone that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Cadgar and Thorpe. The young Alchemist was in disbelief. He had offended a Great Alchemist, and one that was only 20 years old!
”This potion…” In contrast, Cadgar was a lot calmer. After the initial surprise, he had already recovered and was looking suspiciously at the other potion. ”Sorry, it might be due to my age, but I cannot recognize the other potion.”
”This is a Ghost Potion.” Lin Yun smiled.
”...”
This time, Cadgar was stunned in silence.
If the compounding of a Volcano Potion was the sign of a Great Alchemist, then the Ghost Potion was the sign of a pinnacle Great Alchemist. It was the potion that required skills closest to the Master rank. For a Great Alchemist to be able to refine a Ghost Potion meant that he had already reached the summit of Potioneering. As long as he had enough experience and time, he would be able to enter the Master level at any time...
