Along the way, Adil silently put on the black ring as proof on his finger and then walked to the next place.
He walked and stopped along the way, buying a lot of materials and preparing to bring them to a faraway place.
The materials and resources in the outside world were not as complete as those in the academy. Now that the prices of various materials had dropped, he naturally had to buy more as a reserve.
After the purchase, Adil went to the archive room again to replenish some spell templates, and then walked in the direction of the dormitory area.
Three days later, his figure once again appeared in a corner of the underground market. There, Ella was standing alone, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Adil, you're here."
He looked at Adil's figure in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief, "Did you bring the things?"
Adil raised his right hand and held up the bag in his hand, "They're all here."
"Very good!"
Ella nodded and looked at the acolytes walking around them. He could not help but say, "It's not suitable to talk here. Come with me."
After saying this, he led Adil to the side.
"Alright, this should be enough."
When he came to a deserted corner, he looked at Adil and said.
Looking around, Adil did not say anything. He placed the bag in his right hand on the wooden table in front of him and opened it.
Hundreds of healing potions were exposed under the wrapping, and they glowed with a faint green light under the light from the outside.
"Alright, there are a total of 100 healing potions. You can check them."
Looking at him, Adil said calmly.
After hearing Adil's words, Ella, who was sitting opposite him, did not waste any more time. She walked forward and examined them one by one.
After a while, he finished checking and could not help but reveal a joyful expression, "The quantity is correct. The quality of these healing potions is very good, and their effects are better than normal."
As an acolyte in the academy who was in charge of selling medicinal ingredients and basic potions, he had studied Potioneering for a period of time when he was young. Although he did not become a Potioneering Master due to his lack of talent, he could still be considered a Potioneering acolyte. He had the most basic eyesight, and it was not a problem for him to identify the quality of the healing potions.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he took out a few items from his bosom.
There were two old and tattered books and a few scrolls on them.
"There are five formulas in one set, and only one of them can be used. The other four are incomplete."
He looked at Adil and said, "Give me an estimate."
He put the things in his hands on the table and gestured to Adil.
Adil nodded lightly. He picked up a book from the wooden table and flipped through a few pages.
"Bloodthirst potion?"
After looking at the introduction at the beginning and the required medicinal herbs, Adil's heart stirred.
"This is an incomplete formula for an ancient potion. Based on the grade of the potion, it is at least a high-grade potion used by official Magi."
Ella looked at Adil and said, "How about 200 Magic Stones?"
Adil shook his head. "Even a master potion maker would find it difficult to improve an incomplete ancient potion, let alone me."
"For me, this potion can only be used as a reference. Apart from that, it doesn't have much value."
"How much do you want?" Ella asked with a frown after hearing Adil's words.
"A hundred magic stones at most."
"Alright!" What surprised Adil was that after hearing his price, Ella did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.
It was obvious that his previous offer was just for show. His true value was probably less than a hundred magic stones.
The next three formulas were of a lower grade, and they were even more incomplete than the Bloodthirst potion.
Adil only used a hundred magic stones to obtain these three formulas.
"This is the formula for the Nourishment Potion?"
Taking the last potion formula from the wooden table, Adil had a surprised expression on his face.
The Nourishment Potion referred to a basic potion that Magi often used. Although it was of a lower grade, it was used more frequently.
This potion could replace food. One only needed to drink one bottle, and the energy it contained would be enough for a person to survive for half a month. It was an extremely convenient potion.
"I want 300 magic stones for this formula."
Ella stood opposite Adil and looked at Adil.
"Deal."
Adil nodded lightly, agreeing to this price.
Although the Nourishment Potion was only a basic potion, the formula was complete. Naturally, it was more expensive than the incomplete formula.
After negotiating the price of the five potion formulas, they quickly completed the transaction and each chose a path to leave.
… …
Half a month later, in a spacious laboratory, Adil stood in front of the experiment table and put the potion in front of him.
After putting the potion in, he turned around to look behind him.
There was a large pile of various ingredients that were placed in Silence. They had not been used up yet.
"After these few days of crazy refining, I have used up almost half of the ingredients used to make the Healing Potion. Although it is a pity to leave the rest of the ingredients to Ella, I can only let her dispose of them cheaply."
Looking at the pile of ingredients behind him, Adil thought to himself.
Over the past few days, apart from the necessary Meditation, he had spent almost all of his time on refining potions. He wanted to make these ingredients into potions so that he could take them away.
Now, there were only 20 or so days left until the academy's compulsory enlistment. For Adil, it was time to leave.
This was a precaution. After all, the situation was still unknown. If the academy's higher-ups gave the order to seal off the academy's exit and not allow the apprentices to leave, Adil would be at a loss.
As such, for the sake of his safety, Adil prepared to leave in the next few days.
After making up his mind, Adil packed up his things and turned around, walking towards the dormitory area.
The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Adil's figure appeared on a long path.
He was riding on a two-meter-tall horse and wore a light red sleeved shirt. His long black hair with a hint of silver flowed down his back, complementing his handsome face, making him look elegant and natural.
Behind him, another horse followed quietly, carrying some of the things he had brought with him.
These two batches of horses had been specially bought by Adil before he left. Along with a few detailed maps, they had cost him 2 magic crystals in total.
After riding quietly for two hours, a huge black iron gate appeared beside the narrow ancient road. It stood quietly on the road, blocking the road ahead.
Looking at this gate, Adil raised his right hand, revealing the black ring within.
As he infused some magic power into the ring, the black ring gave off a faint light, shining on the black metal gate.
Under the illumination of this light, the iron gate in front of them seemed to change a little.
Patterns began to appear on the metal door, and they began to combine, finally forming a huge, ferocious face.
This face was 4 to 5 meters wide, and it seemed to be in great pain at all times, causing its face to become twisted and savage.
It opened its eyes and stared at Adil with its crimson eyes.
"Acolyte, tell me the secret order!"
A roar sounded in his ears, and at this moment, under Adil's spiritual sense, he could feel a huge spiritual force locking onto him. As long as he made the slightest movement, his fragile spiritual force would be heavily injured.
[High energy radiation detected! Recommended to leave immediately!] the A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind.
Looking at the huge face in front of him, Adil took a deep breath and spoke in the ancient Sith language, "Knowledge is power!"
This was a special secret.
The security of Uralto College was very strict. For acolytes who went out, they would all be given a proof of mission. And each certificate had a corresponding secret order.
Even if an acolyte was killed outside and the proof was stolen by the enemy, if they did not know the corresponding secret order, they would not be able to pass the guard's inspection and sneak into the college.
As the correct secret order was spoken, the black metal gate in front of him began to change. The huge face on it quickly disappeared, and it returned to its original appearance.
With a light sound, the huge metal gate in front of Adil opened.
Seeing this, Adil did not hesitate. He immediately rode his horse and headed toward the path leading to the outside world.
"I've already left the boundaries of the college. I need to be careful."
After calming himself down and looking at the map for a while, Adil rode his horse and headed in a direction.
His speed was very fast. The horsemanship he had trained during his time as a Knight was still present. By noon, he was already far away from the college.
"If I continue in this direction, with my speed, I should be able to reach the nearest human kingdom in about ten days."
Sitting under a large tree, Adil took out the map and carefully observed it as he pondered.
The path he was on was a safe path specially opened by the college, and all kinds of dangers had been cleared in advance.
Although there were many ferocious beasts in the surroundings that were dangerous to regular humans, they were not a threat to acolytes like Adil.
After observing the map for a while, Adil stood up and took out a bottle of potion that emitted a light blue glow from his waist and directly swallowed it.
This was the Full Food Potion. One tube was enough to support a person without food for half a month. For Adil who was currently in a hurry, it was just right.
The Full Food Potion was only a basic potion, and the difficulty of mastering it was not too high. Not to mention Adil, even some Potioneering acolytes could make it. Naturally, it was not a problem for him.
Before leaving the college, Adil specially made many of these potions for the rest of his journey. This was to give him more time to hurry and leave this area as soon as possible.
"It's a pity that although the Full Food Potion can provide the body with the energy it needs, its own taste is very ordinary. Also, even after drinking the potion, the body's hunger will not disappear, which makes people feel uncomfortable."
