"Let's go." After finishing this, Lin Yun put away the three bottles filled with potions and turned to leave the alchemy laboratory.
"Oh, okay!" Raymond, who had been thinking about how to abandon his pride, promptly nodded when he heard the order. But before leaving, he suddenly recalled that if he wasn't wrong, when this Young Master Merlin was cleaning the alchemy table, he seemed to have thrown the test tube containing the red coral solution into the incinerator.
Although he had already determined that a few hundred Fire Stones wouldn't make the red coral solution lose control of its mana, the deep-rooted notion in his mind still made Raymond hesitate. "That red coral solution …"
"Rest assured, there is no problem." Before Raymond could finish his question, Lin Yun gave an affirmative answer, because Lin Yun knew what Raymond wanted to ask. He wanted to know if the red coral solution would lose control of its mana in the incinerator.
Of course it wouldn't …
It wouldn't take long before alchemists discovered that the red coral solution would indeed lose control of its mana when exposed to high temperatures and vibrations, but that kind of loss of control wasn't impossible to solve. A small handful of Moonlight Sand and a short incantation could easily solve this problem.
At that time, this discovery would change the direction of the entire field of alchemy. A large number of new techniques would emerge, and countless alchemists would devote themselves to researching the red coral solution. They would use the huge amount of mana contained within to create countless astonishing achievements.
Among them were the three bottles of Spectrum Potions in Lin Yun's pocket.
That's right, they were Spectrum Potions, not Colorful Potions. Naturally, Raymond's judgement wasn't completely wrong. At least the smell and mana fluctuations of the Spectrum Potion were exactly the same as the Colorful Potion, and even the effects weren't far off.
Note that it wasn't exactly the same.
The characteristics of the red coral solution determined that the effects of the two potions couldn't be exactly the same. After all, the only use of the Colorful Potion was to purify the Mana Whirlpool. There was no need to use the dangerous and huge amount of mana of the red coral solution.
Only the Spectrum Potion needed this kind of mana. Although the Spectrum Potion could also purify the Mana Whirlpool, it had a greater effect on strengthening the Mana Whirlpool. After bathing in the moonlight sand, the mana of the red coral solution would greatly stabilize, and after being processed by the Seven Leaf Grass and the Thousand Knot Flower, this mana could be directly absorbed by mages.
Although the absorption was a little forceful and required a lot of time to complete, the value it produced was something that even the worst mage could understand. What did a mage desire the most? The Mana Whirlpool was undoubtedly powerful. As long as a mage had a sufficiently powerful Mana Whirlpool, they were practically omnipotent.
The Spectrum Potion provided the mages with this possibility.
Although the purification effect of the Mana Whirlpool wasn't as effective as the Colorful Potion, the irreplaceable strengthening effect of the Spectrum Potion was destined to be more valuable than the Colorful Potion.
This was especially true for mages who had yet to reach the 9th Rank. They didn't have an urgent need to purify their mana whirlpools, but at the same time, they were especially eager to strengthen their mana whirlpools. They were the true customers of the Spectrum Potion, and their numbers far surpassed those mages who were about to break through to the 9th Rank.
"Right, Raymond, do me a favor."
"Ah, another favor?" Raymond suddenly froze and subconsciously asked, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. This was a twenty year old alchemist, someone who could trample on his pride at any time. He couldn't afford to offend him, he really couldn't afford to offend him. Thus, Raymond hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Please instruct me."
He only took out the three Spectrum Potions from his pocket and said, "Help me deliver these three potions to three different places. Send this bottle to the Victorious Return Main Street's auction house and tell them that I need to close the deal within three days. Let them decide the price themselves. Send this bottle to the Mage Guild and tell them that I need a library pass with the highest privileges. As for the last bottle … Do as you see fit."
"Alright, auction house, Mage Guild … Do as you see fit?"
"Yes, do as you see fit. It's up to you whether you want to drink it for yourself or give it to someone else."
"Ah …" Raymond's hand that was holding the Spectrum Potions suddenly shook, and he almost dropped the three expensive potions.
"This is called a Spectrum Potion. In addition to purifying the Mana Whirlpool, it can also strengthen the Mana Whirlpool. You should be a 5th Rank Mage right now, so drinking it should be beneficial."
"This … Isn't this a bit too precious?" Raymond hadn't expected that the last potion would actually be given to him. Although it wasn't the Colorful Potion he had imagined, just from the effects, he could tell that this Spectrum Potion was definitely a treasure among treasures. Purifying the Mana Whirlpool and strengthening the Mana Whirlpool, any one of these effects was something mages yearned for day and night. And now, there were actually two of them …
To Raymond, who had just been thinking about how to give up his pride for the other side to trample on, this change was a bit too big. He originally thought that attacking a future Great Alchemist would make him lose at least two layers of skin, even if he didn't die. He was already thinking about how to remedy the situation.
But just as he left the Gilded Rose, a big meat pie fell from the sky, making Raymond dizzy. He didn't know what to say for a while.
"Alright, hurry up and do it." Casually giving away a Spectrum Potion wasn't a big deal to Lin Yun, so he didn't take it to heart.
Only in this era could a Spectrum Potion be considered precious, because the processing technique for the red coral solution had yet to appear. But to Lin Yun, this technique wasn't a secret. Moreover, red coral could be seen everywhere in this era. As long as Lin Yun wanted to, he could make a dozen or so Spectrum Potions at any time. Casually giving away a bottle was just a customary payment.
Raymond helped him with the Mana Transformation, so giving him a bottle of Spectrum Potion as a reward was that simple.
As for what Raymond was thinking, Lin Yun really didn't have the time to care about it.
He had just witnessed the destruction of the world, and he had inexplicably taken over a strange body. Such an exciting and satisfying experience … He still hadn't recovered from it, so how could he have the time to care about what others were thinking?
Raymond was quite efficient. On the third day, he knocked on the door of Merlin's house at noon. After explaining to his father why he had disappeared for two days, he went upstairs to Lin Yun's room.
"This is the thirty thousand gold from the auction of the Spectrum Potion." Raymond handed over a crystal card with some regret on his face. "Unfortunately, time was too tight. The auction house didn't have enough time to advertise it and could only spread the news among the mages of Thousand Sails City. In the end, it was bought by an 8th Rank Mage. Even the people from the auction house said that if they had a few more days, they would have been able to raise the price of this Spectrum Potion to fifty thousand gold."
"Thirty thousand gold is enough." Lin Yun shook his head. Whether it was thirty thousand gold or fifty thousand gold, it didn't make much difference to Lin Yun. That's right, Lin Yun really needed money, but ten thousand gold was too little. What Lin Yun wanted to do wasn't something that could be accomplished with ten thousand or even several hundred thousand gold.
Thirty thousand gold was more than enough to cover his daily expenses. For the current Lin Yun, understanding this world as soon as possible was the most important. Mafa Merlin was only a Magic Apprentice after all. His memory was limited to the level of a Magic Apprentice. He couldn't understand anything higher than that. Using his memory to understand this world would always be very limited.
Therefore, in comparison, Lin Yun was more concerned about the whereabouts of the second bottle of Spectrum Potion.
"What did the Mage's Guild say?"
"Oh, the Mage's Guild …" Raymond was still regretting the loss of twenty thousand gold. Now that he heard Lin Yun's question, he remembered to take out the second crystal card from his pocket. "The Mage's Guild is very successful. I found a senior who works there, and after talking to the higher-ups, they agreed. However, they mentioned that they hope that you can meet with them when you have the time."
"There will be a chance." Lin Yun put away the two crystal cards. He didn't express any obvious rejection towards the Mage's Guild's invitation.
This was very normal. Since he wanted to enter the Mage's Guild's library, it was impossible not to make contact with them. Instead of being beaten around the bush, it was better to meet them openly and see what they wanted to talk about.
"That's great, I'll go talk to that senior of mine later."
"Wait a moment, I still have something I need your help with."
Another … another help? Raymond's saliva almost flowed out. In the past two days, he had been running around the auction house and the Mage's Guild with the Spectrum Potion. How could Raymond not know the true value of the Spectrum Potion? The auction house had alarmed the Chief Alchemist to personally appraise it, and the Mage Guild had even alarmed one of the three big shots. That was a rarely seen big shot, and now, for a bottle of Spectrum Potion, he was personally receiving a small 5th Rank Mage. What was the reason for this? Wasn't it because of the Spectrum Potion's reputation?
He also had a bottle of such a precious potion, and the reason he had gotten it was because he had enchanted a few glass bottles.
Now that he heard that he wanted to help again, Raymond was naturally very willing. He couldn't wait to help a few more times.
