Chapter 31 The Armored Knight, The 4th Star
"That's right, a cave. It's said that it suddenly collapsed, and a plume of hot air shot straight into the sky, scalding all the surrounding plants and animals to death. After that, wild goblins, earth demons, and the like kept crawling out of that cave, making the area quite unsettled."
Old Turner blew on the tea leaves in the beaker and sipped his hot tea.
Lynn found it rather strange.
Does this happen frequently?
Old Turner shook his head.
"I've been here for decades and have never encountered anything like this before. I guess it's caused by underground magma activity. Come to think of it, these underground creatures are pretty unlucky, no... actually, we're even more unlucky than them. They just suddenly went black and died, while we still have to work overtime here, haha."
Lynn ignored his complaints.
He sat down next to old Turner and asked with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, why do you insist on having us brew the healing potions? I remember the church also provides healing potions."
Old Turner paused for a moment, then glanced at Lynn mysteriously.
He pointed to his head and smiled.
"Even if it's just a friendly reminder, don't drink anything from the Nansha Church; it's bad for your brain."
Lynn was taken aback, then nodded.
indeed.
Even before he became a superhuman, he instinctively suspected there was something wrong with the blood of God; now it seems the Church has tampered with everything.
I just don't understand what this "bad for the brain" means.
Lynn ate some of Turner's beaker tea.
After a while, his students returned with materials and began to remove the hairs from the Bauhinia plants.
Old Turner continued to concoct mid-level three-star potions for the Baron.
Lynn felt she had rested enough, so she returned to her workstation to continue working.
During his time, Old Turner wanted Lynn to move in and work together on potion making.
But Lynn, feeling guilty, politely declined.
His scheme to fleece customers cannot stop here.
Lunch break.
The baron's confidants took away boxes of healing potions.
Lynn went to the restaurant with the alchemists for a meal.
His bauhinia grass has been processed.
The Bauhinia Bear Heart Elixir can be prepared this afternoon.
......
in the afternoon.
The bear heart mud has reacted fully with the stone powder.
The bauhinia grass has also been processed.
Lynn officially began the refining process.
He used the skill "Divine Assistance" right from the start.
A sense of complete control over the body reappeared.
As Lynn looked at the materials on the alchemy table, a series of processing tips kept flashing through his mind.
With the help of his proficiency, he only needed to mentally repeat the content a few times to memorize it all.
This is a new trick he recently discovered: using familiarity to quickly memorize shorter pieces of information.
Unlike Benjamin Butler's "Principles of Alchemy," short segments of information require fewer repetitions and are less time-consuming.
Usually, repeating it seven or eight times is enough to memorize it completely.
Lynn, having prepared everything, first poured the bear heart mud into the alchemy pot.
The water temperature continued to rise, and bloody foam gradually floated to the surface.
Lynn skimmed off all the foam and then added the remaining ingredients.
Once the water was boiling, Lynn finally added the last ingredient, the Bauhinia, intact into the pot.
The reason why the so-called mid-three-star medicine is much more difficult than the low-three-star medicine is that the first-tier mid-three-star medicine begins to use the method of influencing the energy of the medicinal materials with mental power.
Therefore, the three-star potion in the first tier is also known as the gateway between apprentices and alchemists.
Only when one can use mental energy to refine medicine can one formally enter the realm of alchemy.
Lynn waited for the bauhinia in the pot to decompose.
A long wait.
Finally, the outer shell of the Bauhinia grass gradually became transparent, and the purplish-green sap inside began to seep into the water.
Lynn immediately recited the incantation for guiding spiritual power in his mind.
The colorful energy field reappeared.
Lynn was initially somewhat bewildered.
But with the help of "divine intervention," Lynn immediately used her mind to pinpoint the purple-green component.
He subconsciously used his mental power to skillfully gather the purple-green spheres together and remove the surrounding gray-yellow impurities from the boundary.
In just a moment.
Pharmaceutical preparation.

【Crafting Bauhinia Bear Heart Potion (Level 0 1/100)】
The effect, as if divinely inspired, was indeed miraculous.
They actually produced a bottle of first-class medicine.
Lynn clutched his heavy, stinging head and slumped onto the lab table.
With his current mental strength, he simply cannot complete the preparation of the three-star medicine.
If we want to produce in large quantities, it seems we should consider using a machine.
At that time, I was just worried that his body couldn't take it.
"Lynn...you succeeded?"
Old Turner appeared behind Lynn at some point, his eyes filled with shock.
Lynn was startled and instinctively covered the alchemical pot with the wooden lid.
He forced a laugh, trying to suppress his discomfort.
"Mr. Turner, you think too highly of me. No, my current mental strength is completely inadequate to move the scalding hot drug energy."
Old Turner looked at him suspiciously, hesitating to speak.
"In short, take it easy and don't overdo it. I'm not exaggerating."
Thank you for your concern.
Lynn forced a smile.
Turner is gone.
Lynn's heart was still beating a little fast.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Old Turner definitely saw it just now.
I wonder if he will tell Brown Narell.
If he tells the Baron, he'll probably have to hand over the potion ahead of schedule.
Lynn was in a state of confusion, and as usual, he poured the potion from the alchemy pot into the kettle next to him.
Once no one was looking this way, everyone busied themselves with the medicine in their hands.
Lynn drank the medicine in the kettle in one gulp.
[Life energy detected entering]
[Heavy Armor Knight's Fourth Star: 3%......50%......100%]
[Heavy Armor Knight's Fifth Star: 1%......10%......30%]
The energy level stopped at 30%.
This potion boosted his rank by more than one star, truly befitting a mid-to-three-star potion!
Lynn suppressed her excitement.
At this rate, he could reach seven stars in a month, no, maybe even eight stars!
When he truly reaches a point where his strength is equal to Baron Nareel's, perhaps the most sensible option would be to flee with his family.
Lynn thought to herself.
He was blinded by rage when he decided to kill Nareel.
Upon closer examination, he realized there was no need for him to risk being wanted by the Kingdom of Uma to kill a nobleman.
Alright, once he reaches the Nine Stars, he will take his family and Pingrun to Sirnus!
Lynn was in a good mood and continued plucking the fluffy hairs of the bauhinia plants all afternoon.
It's almost time to leave work.
The guards from the manor entered the workshop.
"The next two days are your rest time, gentlemen. There will be no more carriages in the morning, so please enjoy your holiday to the fullest."
The guards left.
The young alchemists in the workshop cheered softly.
Lynn put the bauhinia grass into a food storage container.
In a sealed container, whole Bauhinia herbs can be preserved for up to three months.
Lynn dragged his weary body out of the workshop.
Soon, the carriage arrived at their home in the city.
As soon as Lynn got out of the car, he saw the cargo wagon in the yard.
The room seemed quite lively.
Lynn then remembered.
Yes, Charlie is here.
Charlie, my second uncle's son, brought over those one hundred books.
The unlock conditions for the Evoker can finally be advanced.
