My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 40 Condensing the 6th Star

Soon.

Lynn retrieved the ingredients for the Tiger Bone and Ginseng Potion.

This is a Tier 1 potion with a 7-star difficulty level.

Its characteristics include relatively simple material processing, but it requires a high level of mental strength from the alchemist.

All tiger bones need to be soaked in high-concentration ethanol for a year in advance, the longer the better.

Basically, there's no need for an alchemist to handle things on the spot.

Lynn wiped the dirt off the magic ginseng with a dry cloth and did a simple treatment.

Old Turner walked over at that moment.

It seems like he wanted to provide guidance from the sidelines.

Lynn coughed twice and said softly, "Mr. Turner, I appreciate your concern, but I'm not used to having someone around when I'm making medicine; it makes me very nervous."

Turner was taken aback, then laughed helplessly.

"Well, getting a three-star potion is difficult for me too, so there's not much I can do to help."

"I will tell you the result when the alchemy is finished."

Lynn watched Old Turner leave, then activated his skill [Divine Assistance].

Her peak form has returned.

Lynn processed the various medicinal herbs with precision and accuracy, and soon began to brew the medicine.

Pour the tiger bones and the wine into the pot.

The alcohol evaporated continuously, while the tiger bone components remained in the pot.

Lynn quickly filled the pot with the remaining ingredients.

Finally, only the slices of magic ginseng remain to complete the process.

This is the most crucial step.

The energy contained in the magic ginseng is incomparable to that of ordinary medicinal materials, so it also requires extremely high mental strength.

So what's coming next might hurt a lot.

Lynn took a deep breath and put the sliced ​​ginseng into the pot.

Silently recite the incantation, and an energy vision appears.

With the help of the skill "Divine Assistance", Lynn immediately guided and moved all the energy in an orderly manner.

In less than half a minute, the medicine was ready.

You have successfully crafted: Tiger Bone and Magic Ginseng Potion (Rank 4)

[Alchemist entry progress +0.1%]

[Proficiency +1]

Tiger Bone and Ginseng Potion (Level 0, 1/100)

The divine intervention is about to end.

Just before leaving, Lynn immediately poured the still-boiling liquid into a kettle and quickly put the lid on the pot.

There was nothing left in the pot.

No one would have guessed that he would pour the finished medicine into the kettle.

He has the final say on the quality of the finished product.

Now... I can faint without worry.

As the state ended, Lynn's vision went black, he staggered, and collapsed in front of the alchemy platform.

He didn't faint, but his mind was churning with pain.

It took him two minutes to recover and stand up from his seat.

Old Turner, who had been secretly watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a head pop out from behind the partition.

Lynn rubbed her temples and secretly glanced around.

He immediately put the kettle to his mouth and poured most of it in.

[Life energy detected entering]

[Heavy Armor Knight's Fifth Star 30%......60%......100%]

[Heavy Armor Knight's Sixth Star 30%......60%......100%]

[Heavy Armor Knight's Seventh Star 1%......8%......15%]

Progress stalled at 15% of the seventh star's condensation level.

Lynn's spirits lifted.

Upon entering the sixth star, he could clearly feel a tremendous change in his body.

Although I'm still mentally exhausted, I feel like I have inexhaustible energy.

He can now beat three of his five-star selves!

It's just that this place isn't convenient, otherwise Lynn would definitely have tested his strength.

"Captain Lucas is also a six-star, but he was still easily killed by Brown... I can't be too happy yet, we still have to keep fleecing him."

He now feels perfectly justified in taking advantage of Nareel.

In short, it's free money for the Japanese devils and their lackeys; why not take it?

A tribute to a legendary Ironclad player.

Lynn added some distilled water to the kettle, shook it, and then bottled the medicine.

He used the liquid extractor to take a drop, put it on the back of his hand, and then took a sip.

The energy level has increased, but the increase is very slight.

This potion is probably equivalent to a bottle of a first-grade six-star potion.

He told old Turner that he had successfully refined it.

Lynn felt that old Turner was looking at him like he was a ghost.

Old Turner stared blankly at the medicine in the bottle.

"This is definitely the right state, but why does it feel... a bit runny?"

Lynn coughed twice and explained, "In the end, the fire got too hot, so I added some water, otherwise it would have been a complete failure."

Old Turner wiped his face, feeling that his past experiences had been somewhat overturned.

Well, maybe this is the world of geniuses.

Old Turner quickly summoned his guards and handed over the medicine.

All the brewing of three-star potions must be reported to Brown Narell himself.

Old Turner patted Lynn on the shoulder, relieved, and said, "That's good. Once the Baron arrives, your sister will be released."

Lynn smiled.

He claimed to be feeling unwell and went to rest in his bedroom in the manor.

While he was at it, Lynn took out his Old French dictionary.

After an afternoon of speed reading, I finally finished the book.

[Proficiency +1]

[Old Rican Vocabulary (Max Level)]

Lynn hurriedly took out an ancient book about forbidden mercury.

He wanted to finish the book as soon as possible and absorb the forbidden mercury outside the city.

As long as he absorbs the forbidden mercury, his mental strength will increase significantly, to say the least.

This way, when he refines three-star potions in the future, he will not only be able to level up faster, but also show a sense of gradual progress.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Lynn flipped through the thin booklet repeatedly.

This time he read it very fluently.

Knowledge about the dangers of mercury was gradually being etched into his mind.

at last.

[Proficiency +1]

[An Overview of the Theoretical System of Alchemy, Mental Power, and Forbidden Mercury (Max Level)]

Lynn let out a long breath and put the ancient book back into his ring.

This book only provides a general overview of forbidden mercury.

It is a book aimed at alchemists of average talent.

It only discusses the absorption methods of different types of Forbidden Mercury, including Foolish Beast-level and Intelligent-level Mercury, and introduces several well-known owners of Forbidden Mercury of the Calamity level, while also making some theoretical conjectures about their absorption methods.

As for those forbidden mercury of divine punishment level, they were not mentioned at all.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

People tend to only remember the first place.

The most remarkable thing about this kind of treasure, which is like a disaster, is that it has never even been mentioned.

Between the lines of the author's words, Lynn vaguely sensed that he was deliberately avoiding the forbidden mercury of the divine punishment level.

Using inappropriate examples as analogies feels like a taboo from a past life.

No, it was more like escaping literary persecution or something similar.

But why is that?

Lynn couldn't figure it out, so he put it out of his mind.

Anyway, it happened two thousand years ago, so figuring it out is the historian's job.

His immediate priority is to obtain fire retardant.

We'll collect that forbidden mercury one night.

The absorption of this kind of beast-level mercury is actually very simple, involving only four steps.

First, don't let it kill you.

Second, use mental spells to attack its core, weakening it.

Third, pull its core into your own head.

Fourth, endure the pain.

Actually, the hardest part is the first step.

Lynn must ensure that he is not disturbed when casting mental spells.

As for comparing mental strength, it's quite easy.

Literally, the Forbidden Mercury's intelligence level, at the level of a Foolish Beast, is like that of a silly roe deer.

As long as someone is smarter than a silly roe deer, they can't possibly lose to the forbidden mercury of the foolish beast level.

Of course, this is just an inappropriate analogy.

The forbidden mercury levels are classified according to its energy level.

Collecting higher-grade forbidden mercury requires greater mental strength, but it doesn't necessarily mean that forbidden mercury equates to higher intelligence.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the Forbidden Mercury of the Foolish Beast level is very stupid.

Lynn was pondering the matter of forbidden mercury.

Old Turner hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in.

"Lynn, hurry back to the workshop, the Baron is almost here!"
