Chapter 1197 - Crushed (1/2)

“The winner is Sir Mafa Merlin.”

Watby’s smile froze as Gurud pronounced his verdict.

“Impossible! This is impossible! Sir Gurud, I believed you because of your upright personality, I didn’t expect you to actually be so partial!”

Gurud bitterly smiled, he still had a strange expression as he pointed at the few pieces of paper on the crystal table.

“Sir Watby, take a look at it yourself.”

Watby coldly snorted and picked up the few pieces of paper Lin Yun had left on the crystal table. It only took one look for his expression to change.

Because the first set of data he saw was exactly the same as what he had calculated, it was entirely correct.

When he saw the second sheet, Watby instantly froze. The 2nd sheet wasn’t the draft of the calculations, it was another set of data, but the recipe was different. The 3rd sheet, 4th sheet, and 5th sheet all had different ratios.

Watby burst out laughing.

“Sir Mafa Merlin, could it be that you think of winning by using quantity? What’s the most important thing in alchemy? Correctness. Data accuracy is most important. There is only one correct set of data among your five sets. How about it, can you guarantee that you’ll pick the correct one?”

Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Watby.

“Who said that there is only one correct recipe? Aside from the Wind Dispelling Potion on the first sheet, the other four recipes can all be made with these materials. It’s just that the 2nd and the 3rd recipes have to be handled differently, while the 4th and the 5th recipes will leave leftover materials.”

The corner of Watby’s mouth rose in a sneer.

“Sir Mafa Merlin, you must be joking, right? Could it be that you are unwilling to acknowledge it? A mistake is a mistake. I’ve never heard of these potions. Let’s see… Ghost Incarnation Potion. You think I’m a clueless Apprentice Alchemist?

“Is there such a thing as a Ghost Incarnation Potion? That’s an Incarnation Spell very few mages can master…”

Stebe also sneered.

“Looks like there is a sore loser. Mistakes on the alchemy path are unavoidable, but not admitting defeat and refusing to fulfil one’s side of the bet is an issue of personality. I believe the Starry Sky College doesn’t wish for that kind of person to enter their college.”

Gurud opened his mouth, but didn’t dare to speak. He wasn’t proficient in potioneering so he couldn’t tell whether it was true or not. He only saw Watby provide one recipe while Lin Yun provided five. This was naturally Lin Yun’s win for him. He hadn’t expected this…

As for Raphael, he was a bit stunned as he didn’t know what to do. He was most proficient in arrays and could be compared to an Apprentice Alchemist at best when it came to potioneering.

Lin Yun frowned. He had casually written down a few recipes, and although two of them weren’t potions of this era, two of them were quite simple. He truly hadn’t expected this Watby to not know them…

The Wind Dispelling Potion was a kind of potion that would substantially decrease the damage caused by wind elements. Taking this potion when entering a Wind Elemental Plane would allow a mage to reduce his mana consumption when resisting a plane’s poor environment. It’s a kind of relatively precious True Spirit Grade Potion. The difficulty in making it is very hard, only Artisan could make it.

As for the others, they were even more troublesome in their own ways. That Ghost Incarnation could grant full immunity to physical attacks for three minutes. When conquering some special planes in the future, this thing would be no different from an Artifact.

And in the current era, no one had researched this potion.

Lin Yun usually wouldn’t have felt like bickering with Watby, but that Holysong Blood was of great use to Lin Yun, it would be a waste to leave it in Watby’s hands.

Lin Yun didn’t answer and directly walked to the crystal table. He then took out potioneering tools and spat out runes. Immediately, a dozen Mana Hands appeared before his eyes as well as flames and ice. Using dazzling techniques, every ingredient was refined once within a dozen seconds.

Watby closed his mouth as he saw that scene and calmly waited for Lin Yun. As an alchemist, the most basic rule to respect was to not disturb other alchemists when they were working.

The group remained silent and calmly watched Lin Yun using dazzling techniques to process those medicinal ingredients.

Lin Yun didn’t stop after all the ingredients were refined and he refined five kinds of materials once more.

He then refined one kind of material for the third time before summoning a sphere of pure water and a sphere of cold flames to complete the compounding.

More than a dozen Mana Hands were assisting Lin Yun’s refining and the entire process seemed to have been sped up a dozen times. Within fifteen minutes, a bottle filled with dark blue liquid appeared on the crystal table. Wisps of dark aura roamed within the liquid, just like a ghost’s aura.

Watby foolishly looked at Lin Yun, already stunned by his actions.

‘Eighteen Mana Hands, heavens, he can actually control eighteen Mana Hands at the same time and still complete double refinement… He even refined a material thrice. Sh*t, how did he do that?

‘Why can’t I understand? What’s this technique, what recipe did he use?

‘Is that potion real?’

Stebe was reluctant to admit his mistake and sneered as he looked at the potion on the table.

“Who knows if this potion is real or fake and if it is the same as the set of data. Everyone knows that theory has to be tested…”

Gurud walked over, picked up the potion and swallowed it down.

“As a referee, it is my job to test it.”

Gurud’s body turned translucent before he even finished his sentence.
