Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Enhanced Potion
Silence.
The hall was utterly quiet, everyone staring in shock at the scene before them, mouths agape, unable to utter a word.
What just happened?
They hadn't even started fighting, and this guy had already surrendered?
Among them, only the Silvermoon Viscount's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something, a glimmer of surprise flashing across his face.
"What did you do to him?"
A man, seemingly a close friend of the burly knight, rushed forward and yanked him off the ground, glaring angrily at Sunan.
Sunan replied nonchalantly, "Just a little trick. What, do you want to try it too?"
The man faltered under Sunan's indifferent gaze, the words stuck in his throat.
At that moment, the burly knight regained his senses.
Recalling his earlier actions, his face flushed a deep crimson as he angrily drew his battle axe and charged at Sunan.
The crowd gasped in shock.
Two knights standing by the Silvermoon Viscount instinctively moved to intervene, but the next second, they saw Sunan wave his hand. A blinding bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, piercing the air and striking the burly knight.
Crack!
In the blink of an eye, the man collapsed to the ground, charred and lifeless.
The hall fell into a second silence.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the fallen knight, struggling to comprehend what had just transpired.
An advanced knight was so easily defeated?
What on earth was that lightning?
Clap, clap, clap!
Suddenly, applause broke the stillness, snapping everyone back to reality.
Turning to look, they saw the Silvermoon Viscount standing, clapping his hands with a broad smile as he gazed at Sunan.
"Excellent skills, sir! As you said, if you can eliminate that evil spirit, the entire bounty will be yours!"
At these words, the expressions of the knights turned sour.
However, none dared to voice their objections.
Not only had the Silvermoon Viscount made a decision, but Sunan's display of power had stripped them of any inclination to resist.
Some of the more experienced knights had begun to suspect Sunan's true identity.
They knew they had no chance against him and left without a word.
Soon, the hall was empty except for Sunan.
The Silvermoon Viscount fixed his piercing gaze on Sunan and asked, "What do you go by, sir?"
"Ang McLean."
"If I'm not mistaken, you are a wizard, right?"
"Correct."
"Wonderful!"
Though he had suspected as much, hearing Sunan confirm it filled the Viscount with excitement.
"With you here, we can surely deal with that evil spirit!"
"Dealing with the evil spirit is not the issue," Sunan replied coolly. "However, before I take care of it, I have some conditions."
"Please, go ahead."
"I would like the one thousand gold coins paid in advance, replaced with equivalent items of my specification."
The Silvermoon Viscount hesitated for a moment but quickly agreed.
"Of course, what items do you wish to exchange for?"
Sunan handed over a list detailing the materials required for creating secondary active potions, along with a set of potion-making tools.
Due to the limited space in the Synthesis Cube, he hadn't brought his tools, necessitating a new purchase.
The Viscount glanced at the list, relieved to find it contained mostly common items. He smiled and said, "I'll arrange for the procurement of these items promptly. You can rest in my estate in the meantime."
Sunan accepted the offer without refusal.
The Viscount then summoned the steward, instructing him to prepare a room for Sunan and ensure he received attentive service.
After Sunan left the hall, one of the remaining knights could no longer hold back. "My lord, you're just going to trust him? What if he takes the items and runs?"
The speaker was one of the two remaining major knights under the Silvermoon Viscount.
Seeing his doubt, the Viscount smiled, unperturbed. "Urbano, if you were to face him, what are your chances of winning?"
Urbano hesitated before answering honestly, "Less than fifty percent. That man's methods are too strange; I can't see through them."
While he too could defeat advanced knights in an instant, he could never match Sunan's ease.
Moreover, it was clear that Sunan hadn't exerted his full strength.
The image of the burly knight being manipulated like a puppet, kneeling and barking, was still vivid in his mind—such a technique was truly unfathomable!
The Silvermoon Viscount chuckled and shook his head, patting Urbano on the shoulder. "You are bound to lose."
Seeing Urbano's discontent, he simply smiled and walked through a side door of the hall.
Those unfamiliar with wizards had no idea how terrifying and enigmatic this group truly was.
Their powers were beyond ordinary comprehension, belonging to another realm entirely!
The Silvermoon Viscount was efficient in his dealings.
The next day, a large shipment of Silvermoon Flowers arrived at Sunan's doorstep.
Instructing the steward not to allow any disturbances, Sunan began crafting potions.
Using materials worth nearly one thousand gold coins, he ultimately produced one hundred and two bottles of secondary active potions.
Sunan then moved on to synthesis.
As he had estimated, when he added twenty-two bottles of secondary active potions, the synthesis interface indicated that the active potion had transformed into a first-grade superior potion.
Both its effectiveness and duration had increased.
However, the mental power requirement had risen to 8 points.
Sunan didn't stop there; he continued to add potions to the Synthesis Cube.
Once the total reached fifty-eight bottles, the synthesis interface suddenly changed.
[Super Potion (Tier 2 / Inferior): Increases mental activity significantly, improves energy particle absorption efficiency, extends meditation time; duration is 48 days and 4 hours; stacking has no additional effect; mental power requirement must be above 13.]
"Not bad!"
Sunan felt a surge of delight.
The effects of this potion were vastly superior to the active potion!
Especially the enhancement of energy particle absorption efficiency, which, when combined with Blood Amber, could result in a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Additionally, the duration had nearly increased by half.
"I wonder how the medium and superior grades compare?"
Sunan continued adding potions.
When the total reached eighty-five bottles, the Super Potion upgraded to Tier 2 Medium.
The effect description remained largely unchanged, but the duration increased to 54 days, with the mental power requirement rising to 15.
After incorporating one hundred and five bottles—adding the remaining potions he had—Sunan's Super Potion finally transformed into Tier 2 Superior.
[Super Potion (Tier 2 / Superior): Increases mental activity significantly, greatly enhances energy particle absorption efficiency, extends meditation time; duration is 62 days and 10 hours; stacking has no additional effect; mental power requirement must be above 18.]
"An 18-point requirement."
Sunan shook his head in slight disappointment.
His mental power was still below 16; even if he had synthesized a Tier 2 Superior Super Potion, he couldn't use it.
However, he quickly rallied his spirits.
Producing a Tier 2 Medium Super Potion was already quite an achievement.
For now, it would be sufficient.
Once his mental power broke through 18, he could synthesize the Tier 2 Superior Super Potion without delay.
"A single Tier 2 Medium Super Potion costs about 850 gold coins, with effects lasting just under two months. That means I might spend five to six thousand gold coins a year."
Sunan couldn't help but sigh.
Being a level two witch apprentice already incurs such high expenses; he wondered how many gold coins he would need once he became a full-fledged wizard.
