Chapter 12 Magic Potion
Chapter 12 Magic Potion
Li Ang lay on the bed and opened the book "Basic Potions".
The pages exuded the distinctive scent of parchment, and were depicted in dark brown ink with various plants, minerals, and monsters that could be used to make medicine.
The text is difficult and obscure, filled with a large number of proper nouns and abstract descriptions of magical flow.
He could only calm down and use the enhanced perception and concentration he gained after condensing the star to study it word by word.
When Li Ang saw the chapter on "Basic Recovery and Constitution Enhancement Potions", his gaze suddenly froze.
[Basic Lung Healing Agent]
[Effects: Gently stimulates lung tissue regeneration, significantly enhances the respiratory system's immunity and recovery capabilities, and has a significant relieving and curative effect on old lung injuries and chronic tuberculosis.]
Main ingredients: 3g dried leaves of *Astragalus membranaceus*, 1g powder of *Sedum morganianum*, 150ml pure morning dew, 1 drop of *Moss simonii* extract.
[Auxiliary material: Clear quartz powder (0.5g purification agent)]
[Refining Equipment: Standard crystal crucible, silver stirring rod, stable flame source]
[Key points for refining: The guidance of spiritual energy must be gentle, focusing on harmonizing the life activity of the morning dew with the regenerative properties of the moonlight moss. The purifying power of the purple cloud grass is crucial...]
"Cure...lung disease?" Li Ang's heart pounded, and his fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of the book.
This medicine was practically tailor-made for him! The book clearly states that this medicine can not only relieve symptoms, but also stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissues from the root, enhance immunity, and completely resolve his chronic illness.
He carefully examined the materials list: Purple Cloud Grass, Stone Root Grass, Moonlight Moss... These names were completely unfamiliar to him, and there was absolutely no way he could obtain these magical plants used by wizards at this moment.
You could try using the [Water Creation] spell to condense the purest water to replace the pure morning dew, but the effect would be greatly reduced.
As for crystal crucibles, silver stirring rods, stable flame sources... these professional alchemy tools are beyond his current capabilities.
It seems that only by reaching Riley City and entering the Wizard's Tower can we hope to obtain materials and tools.
He silently memorized the potion's formula and key points of preparation...
The next day, Thelmister "bumped into" Leon, who was enjoying the breeze, on the deck.
Unless summoned, reserve apprentices are not allowed to freely ascend the decks of the wizard ship.
This rule no longer applies once you become a formal apprentice, so at this moment only Leon and Ceronst are on the deck.
"Leon." Celeste's voice remained calm.
"Lord Celeste," Leon immediately bowed respectfully.
Celeste gazed at the distant horizon, as if talking to himself:
"The Wizarding Tower in Riley City is rife with factions. A newly initiated apprentice will find it extremely difficult to progress without support. You must understand that talent only accounts for a small part of achieving success in the wizarding profession..."
He paused, turned his head slightly, and looked at Li Ang. In the depths of his gray eyes, there was a subtle invitation.
"You have decent talent and a fairly calm temperament. If you choose to become my disciple after you arrive, I will, as your mentor, provide you with some... conveniences within the scope of the rules."
He didn't say another word, as if he were merely stating a trivial fact, and then turned and left.
Li Ang stood still, the sea breeze ruffling his brand-new gray robe.
Celeste's words were very straightforward: If you want to avoid detours, become my apprentice.
Was this a preemptive recruitment? Was he eyeing Li Ang's potential and adaptability during the crisis? Thoughts raced through Li Ang's mind, but his face remained calm.
Choosing a mentor is crucial; one needs to gather more information and cannot make a hasty decision.
A few days later, the tranquility of the third floor was broken when Matthew, wearing the same brand-new gray apprentice robe, carried it up with his head held high and an air of arrogance.
His face was still somewhat swollen, and the gap in his missing front tooth looked even more comical under his deliberately serious expression.
When he saw Li Ang walking out of the corridor with a book in his hand, he paused noticeably, and his eyes instantly became extremely complicated.
Fear, dread, deep-seated resentment, and a sense of superiority that had been rekindled by his level 5 talent flashed through his eyes one after another, eventually intertwining into a look of madness.
He stood there, clenching his fists, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
When he saw Li Ang's calm and unwavering gaze, there was no provocation or mockery in his eyes as he had expected, only an almost indifferent calmness, as if he were just an insignificant passerby.
This disregard made Matthew feel more humiliated and angry than any provocation.
He let out a cold, ambiguous snort, glared at Li Ang, and then strode towards his room.
Another day passed, and Helena followed closely behind.
She also changed into a gray robe that was slightly tight around the chest, and her cheeks, which had been somewhat pale from the torment of the lower cabin, were now flushed with a faint blush.
Upon seeing Li Ang, a joyful smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she quickly walked over.
"Li Ang! That's great, we meet again."
Her voice was filled with excitement and barely suppressed joy, and her long golden hair flowed like a golden waterfall with her movements.
"I have successfully learned the [Water Creation Technique], and Lord Celeste has also approved of me. I have finally... finally become an apprentice."
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation for the future and a sense of relief.
"Congratulations, Helena," Li Ang said with a smile, genuinely happy for her.
"That night, I really owe you a lot..." Helena said gratefully, then lowered her voice a little shyly.
"Also, thank you for sharing your experience with the [water creation technique] before. It was really helpful to me."
She was referring to some meditation and spellcasting tips that the two of them mentioned during occasional conversations after meals when they were at the bottom of the social ladder.
"These are just some trivial tips, and in this kind of environment, we need to help each other more to survive better."
Li Ang humbly responded to her thanks.
Helena's appearance brought a touch of warmth to the third floor, which had become tense due to Matthew's arrival.
They naturally walked side by side to the restaurant, leaving Matthew peeking through the crack in the door, his eyes filled with a cold, jealous gaze.
The dark flames within him reignited and burned wildly once more.
Li Ang, that damned sickly guy, what makes him so special? What makes him so special that he learned magic so quickly? What makes him so special that he can get so close to Helena? What makes him look at him like that?
He was a level 5 talent, the most talented person on the entire ship! Even Lord Celeste looked at him differently.
He tried to mobilize the stars in his spiritual world, and a small, flickering orange-red flame condensed in his palm.
The heat of the flames scorched the air, giving him the illusion of possessing power.
