"How much of an idiot would he have to be to do such a thing? He actually put the Heaven Clover and the Dark Shadow Flower together. What's the nature of the Heaven Clover? It contains pure Light Energy, while the Dark Shadow Flower is a substance condensed from extreme Dark Force. Putting these two things together, is it because they want to die faster? "
William took out his handkerchief, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with trembling hands. However, as soon as he wiped it off, he started sweating again. Although he didn't know what the Heaven Clover and the Dark Shadow Flower were, even those who didn't have any pharmaceutical knowledge would know that Light and Dark Force were irreconcilable.
Most people knew that water and fire were opposites, but those who had some understanding of magic would know that when these two forces were put together, they wouldn't be in absolute conflict. Instead, they would be mutually reinforcing, transforming, and fusing. However, when the two forces of light and darkness were put together, they would be in absolute conflict, and there would be no room for reconciliation.
Wilkinson had learned more than just pharmaceutics knowledge from Lin Li. After all, Lin Li was a teacher who adhered to the teaching method of beating and scolding. Although he didn't beat Wilkinson, he would always scold him. Now that he had learned something useful, and was angry, he didn't show any mercy to William at all.
"You said that no one can concoct it. Indeed, no one can concoct it. You just wrote a bunch of herbs together and it's a potion formula? You're already so old, how could you do such a thing? Do you really think that a random stone you picked up is a treasure? "
Wilkinson's accusation wasn't polite at all. Although William smiled bitterly, he had no intention of interrupting Wilkinson's defense at all. As the only person who could stop Wilkinson, Lin Li didn't say another word after William finished listing the 47 herbs needed for the potion formula.
Lin Li, who appeared to be calm and collected on the surface, was secretly shocked. The potion formula that William had mentioned was actually very similar to a potion formula that he had seen in the Endless World. In fact, it was highly likely that they were the same potion formula.
Back in the Endless World, Lin Li had come into contact with a pharmaceutics Guru who lived in seclusion during a mission. Since his smurf was prepared to develop into a Life Profession, he deliberately befriended the Potion Guru. He used many ways to improve his favorability, and one by one, he dug up many good things.
The pharmaceutics Guru mentioned a potion formula called the Divine Potion when they were chatting casually after Lin Li's affinity with the pharmaceutics Guru reached the level of a confidant. However, the pharmaceutics Guru was not clear about the specific formula. He only mentioned some characteristics of the formula, such as the number and types of medicinal herbs used.
However, a true potion formula was not only about listing all the medicinal ingredients. More importantly, it also included the dosage of each medicinal ingredient, the preparation method of each medicinal ingredient, the special techniques used during the preparation, and so on. The concoction of a potion was a very rigorous work. Any slight mistake would cause immeasurable consequences. In a less serious case, it would be a waste of precious medicinal ingredients. In a more serious case, it could even threaten the pharmacist's life. Therefore, only knowing which medicinal herbs were used for a type of medicine was useless in concocting it.
If it was just an incomplete formula, there was no need for the pharmaceutics Guru to wait until they were on good terms with each other before telling Lin Li. What was really important was that the last potion that a certain Divine Smith concocted before advancing from a pharmaceutics Guru to a Divine Smith was the Divine Potion.
However, although Lin Li's Hunter account did not have a pharmacist as a secondary profession, he still had some knowledge about pharmaceutics. At least, he knew more than William. After hearing the pharmaceutics Guru's description of the formula, he had the same thought as Wilkinson. He thought that it was impossible.
However, not long after, Lin Li saw the true power of the Divine Potion with his own eyes.
It was a B-level mission issued by the system. He had to escort a big shot of the empire to a certain destination. Along the way, he had to pass through the Rift Valley of Hell, which was known as the Impassable Land. After looking at the mission map, everyone thought that this mission could not be considered a B-level mission at all. That was because any mission that involved the Rift Valley of Hell was usually an S-level mission. Even Lin Li only dared to walk around the Rift Valley of Hell after obtaining the Stars of Fury.
At that time, Lin Li had yet to obtain the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Hence, he could only be considered a Hunter with decent equipment and a good level. In fact, he had only accepted this mission because he wanted to avoid being hunted down by hostile players.
When the escort team passed through the Rift Valley of Hell, a large number of Hell creatures swarmed out, and surrounded the team of nearly a thousand people in an instant. Among the group of Hell creatures, the most despairing ones were the dozens of three-headed Hellhounds that guarded the Gates of Hell. They were existences that even Legendary powerhouses did not dare to provoke easily. The team of nearly a thousand people could not even resist for a moment. Lin Li was even prepared to give up.
At this moment, one of the court mages beside the important figure suddenly drank a light gold potion. A golden pillar of light blasted through the darkness in the sky and landed on the body of the court mage. Immediately, a powerful aura surged from the body of the court mage.
At that moment, Lin Li almost shouted out a certain classic movie line when he saw the scene in front of him. The body of the court mage was still so skinny, but he definitely did not seem weak. Instead, he gave off the feeling of a towering mountain in front of him.
With a raise of his hand, the weather changed, and the entire space seemed to be under the control of that person. Thousands of incomparably powerful Hell creatures and more than a dozen three-headed Hellhounds that were no weaker than Legendary powerhouses were instantly turned into ashes in the face of the power that could almost be called God.
Only then did Lin Li understand why this mission was only of Level-B difficulty. As long as he could survive the first wave of attacks from the Hell creatures, he would not have to worry about anything else. After that, he had to rack his brains to find out from the mouth of the court mage that the bottle of light golden potion was the Divine Potion that the pharmaceutics Guru had once told him about.
When he was at the Crack of Death in the Blackstone Mountains, Lin Li was only an Archmage who relied on the All-Knowing Potion to forcibly raise his strength to the Legendary-realm. In the Endless World, the court mage relied on the Divine Potion to obtain strength that was close to the Sanctuary-realm. It was not an exaggeration to call him a Divine Potion.
That was the terrifying thing about pharmacists, and the reason why the status of pharmacists was always above that of mages.
Since then, Lin Li had always wanted to find the complete formula of the Divine Potion. Apart from concocting this heaven-defying potion that could allow one to transform into a god, it was also to prepare for the advancement of his smurf to a Divine Smith in the future. This was because Lin Li vaguely felt that the Divine Potion was very likely to be the key to the advancement of a pharmaceutics Guru to a Divine Smith.
Unfortunately, even when Lin Li's Hunter account obtained the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and even when he crushed the eyeball of the Dragon of Destruction with his foot, all the means and methods that he could use, as well as all kinds of crazy rewards, did not bring him any good news. Later on, when he used the Wishing Scroll and transmigrated to Anril, the matter naturally had to be left unsettled.
Lin Li would never have imagined that after coming to this world, he would actually find the answer to the problem that he had once been completely clueless about. Originally, he did not have any hope for the Divine Potion, but the formula just had to come to him now. He had to admit that fate was really strange.
How could Lin Li let go of the benefits that were right in front of him? However, this great benefit did not make him lose his cool, and his face did not show any signs of desire.
Although Lin Li did not have much talent in business, he knew that William had a favor to ask of him now, and he had the initiative in his hands. However, if he were to show any signs of eagerness, with William's keen insight as an appraiser, the initiative would immediately change to him. Anyway, he didn't have much of a relationship with William. Hence, he decided to maximize his own benefits through business.
"Wilkinson, don't be angry. I don't think Mr William did it on purpose. Why don't you listen to what Mr William has to say?" Lin Li was really afraid that Wilkinson would scold William and run away. This fella learned pharmaceutics quickly, and also scolded people quickly.
Now, Wilkinson and his companions simply treated Lin Li's words as the truth. As long as it was Lin Li's orders, they would not question him at all, and would immediately do as he said. It couldn't be helped. Although they all had some personality, they had already become conditioned reflexes after the painful lessons of disobedience.
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Wilkinson reacted extremely quickly. Before he could finish his sentence, he seemed to be stuck in his throat, and his criticism of William stopped abruptly.
William looked back and forth between the two of them in shock. He thought to himself that he had still underestimated this young President of the Guild of Magic. What kind of relationship did he have with these high-level pharmacists? Although he dared to speak to a high-level pharmacist in such a manner, his tone and attitude were just like talking to an opponent.
"Mr William, do you really have nothing to say?" Lin Li reminded William helplessly upon seeing that he was in a daze.
"Ah, yes, President Felic, Mr Pharmacist, no matter what, please listen to my explanation," William hurriedly said to the two of them. Although he had been reprimanded by Wilkinson, William still believed in his heart that the potion formulas were real. After all, they had been appraised by a pharmaceutics Master from the Pharmacist Guild, and he had also verified the materials.
