Chapter 154: Toins Reappears

Three days later, Oric came to Ivan's dormitory again.

"Ivan, do you accept the commission to refine medicine?"

"I've been a bit busy lately." Ivan said truthfully.

This is not an empty talk. After talking with his mentor Randall, he determined two goals: to conduct in-depth research on the insect breathing method and the hand of the black devil. The application for observing the original stone array disk related to the hand of the black devil has not been received yet, which does not prevent him from continuing to improve the array disk he made.

Research is always a gradual process, and he is not sure how long it will take.

Alas, what happened a few days ago really left Ivan with some resentment, and Orrick sighed inwardly.

"You might as well take a look. This is a special potion, similar to the Explosion Potion and Ice Crack Potion. It requires some combined enchantment methods. With your ability, it won't take long."

Hearing this, Ivan's heart moved. He had experienced the power of the ice cracking potion before. If it weren't for the protection that Green Tree Star mentioned, he would have been seriously injured if not dead.

"How to say?"

"I'll provide the medicine formula and herbs. Please take a look at the recipe first." Orrick hurriedly handed over a parchment scroll.

"Okay, then let me take a look first." Ivan looked at Orric in surprise. Isn't this equivalent to giving him a potion formula for free? When did Orric become so generous? Although he was a little suspicious, he still took it.

'Filthy Potion'

It is indeed very similar to the Explosive Potion and Ice Crack Potion. Throwing it out is equivalent to casting a spell. It can also be used in conjunction with archery, but its power is far less than the first two.

The power of the tainted potion lies in the fact that it contains a mixture of toxins that can suppress and pollute spiritual power to a certain extent.

If it is used against apprentices who are unaware of the inside story, not to mention the harm caused, the mental pollution alone will be enough to scare many people.

The reason for combining enchantment methods is that, according to the description on the recipe, the contaminated potion needs to be placed in a customized spherical glass bottle. A one-time rune needs to be engraved on the spherical bottle to facilitate the contaminated potion to turn into smoke and sweep around.

Ivan's face looked a little strange. Isn't this just a smoke bomb?

It is similar to what the invaders in the Vortex Secret Realm used, but their vehicles are energy storage crystals of higher value, which are five or six times larger in capacity than this one. Secondly, the nature of the smoke is different.

"how?"

"It can be refined."

"I knew that this difficulty is not a problem for you at all. I will have someone deliver the herbs to you later. No matter how high your yield is, I only want 10% of the raw materials. What do you think?"

Orrick breathed a sigh of relief and offered quite lenient terms.

Hearing his request, Ivan frowned slightly. He could probably guess what the other party was thinking.

"Orick, you should know that I am not a petty person. The Rich family's matter just didn't come to an agreement. It didn't cause any loss to me. You think highly of me and are willing to help me introduce myself. I have to thank you for that."

Seeing his serious and earnest expression, Orrick realized that he had misunderstood.

"How about one and a half?"

"With the prescription and raw materials you provided, plus the unique value of the turbid medicine, I will give you 30% of the finished products in this batch." Ivan has always been like this. If someone shows me respect, I will show him respect.

"Ivan, are you sure?"

Orrick was somewhat doubtful. You know, there is a yield rate for refining medicines. The higher the difficulty of refining, the lower the yield rate. If he asked someone to refine the medicine like this, according to the pharmacist's rules, the yield he could get was usually between 15% and 25%.

Twenty-five percent is a number that a skilled pharmacist can give, which means that the other party is confident that the yield rate can be controlled at around 35%. The extra ten percent is room for maneuver and is also the pharmacist's reward.

Ivan asked for 30% right away, which means that in his mind the yield rate is 40%.

"It's settled," Ivan said firmly.

"Well, I got the advantage." Orrick secretly smacked his lips and cursed the old stubborn man in the family in his heart.

Not counting the spherical bottles that needed to be enchanted, even the newly acquired potions had a success rate of 40%. This showed how superb Ivan's alchemy skills were. There should be no one among the apprentices who could match him. At least he had never seen such a person.

The Rich family, which sticks to old-fashioned family rules and does not try to win over such a talented person, will sooner or later decline.

"I'll have someone send you the raw materials later. You can refine them when you have time. I'm not in a hurry to use them." Orrick left happily.

Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction. Orrick could make at least sixty to seventy times the profit by reselling it. For special items like this, he could make more than just the low-grade magic stones.

Ivan also did not lose out. His alchemy skills had reached level 6, and his yield rate had always been high. He would soon be able to harvest a large number of contaminated potions, which would be equivalent to adding a means of dealing with the enemy, and would also increase his alchemy experience points. It was a sure win.

The materials have not been delivered yet, so Ivan continues to explore the insect breathing method.

The mentor said that if the Blackbeard Crown is to be able to increase the wizard's promotion rate, the greatest possibility is to help the Swift Wood Silkworm become a first-level creature, so that the aura derived from the Swift Wood Silkworm is equal to his spiritual power.

The only way he could think of to improve the strength of the Swift Wood Silkworm was the Spring Bud and the Insect Breathing Method. Once established, it would be a stable training system, and with other means, such as potions, it would not easily have a negative impact on the Swift Wood Silkworm. Without a stable training system, using potions directly would mean instability and mutation for the insects, and the Swift Wood Silkworms, which numbered only over 400, obviously could not withstand such a torment.

The buds of spring have been planted, and over the past so much time, they have become one with the Swift Wood Silkworm without any negative effects.

Currently, the only thing missing is the insect breathing method.

After Ivan became a great knight, his understanding of fighting spirit and breathing techniques rose to a new level. The penetrating nature of fighting spirit also helped him to gain insight into the body of the Swift Wood Silkworm.

After some tests, he summarized the approximate data of the Swift Wood Silkworm.

Strength: 3.3, Agility: 3.5, Constitution: 3.0
Such physical data would rank in the middle of the primary knight stage among humans, which clearly shows how powerful the Swift Wood Silkworm is.

It stands to reason that such a strong body would easily extract the energy of life.

"The essence of breathing techniques is to refine the vital energy. There are three factors involved: movement, breathing rhythm, and body resonance. Only when the movement and breathing rhythm are coordinated can the body resonate and then draw out the vital energy."

"Judging from the Queen Silkworm's previous performance, the movement can be replaced by insect chirping. Insect chirping contains both sound and vibration, and sound can induce vibration with a certain frequency."

After some attempts, Ivan quickly gave up the idea of ​​letting the Silkworm Queen understand the breathing method.

Although the Queen Silkworm is the most intelligent one in the entire clan, it has no concept of breathing method, nor does it know what rhythm and resonance are. It is like talking to a cow to guide the Queen Silkworm to figure it out on her own.

"Perhaps, we can first develop a new basic breathing method for humans, using sound to replace some movements, and then change it to a breathing method with only sound and no movements, and finally consider how to modify it to be suitable for the Swift Wood Silkworm Clan."

"It's a pity that the light of wisdom cannot be used by others, otherwise if it is used on the Queen Silkworm, maybe there will be different changes." He thought greedily.

After some thought, he changed his strategy. Relying on his control and understanding of fighting spirit, he planned to use himself as a test subject to study the basic breathing method that replaced movements with sound, and then adjust the breathing method to a level suitable for the Swift Wood Silkworm.

That afternoon, Orrick had someone deliver the raw materials for refining the filthy potion, so Ivan had to focus part of his attention on refining the potion first.

……

Next to a patch of swamp thatch, a sturdy middle-aged wizard was waiting there.

"Wizard Toins, you seem to be late."

"You arrived early."

The tall and dense thatched grass parted on both sides, and a two-headed strange snake flew out from it. This two-headed strange snake originally had a pair of wings and three tails, but now two of its tails were broken, and the broken ends were blue and black, and the feathers on its wings had become scattered.

The strange snake had two heads, one with a stern look and the other drooping.

The middle-aged wizard did not care about the strange snake's specious arguments. Instead, he said, "Wizard Toins, thank you for your information. We were able to successfully plant a nail in the Flash Vortex Secret Realm."

"Wizard Kisan, where is what you promised me?" the two-headed monster snake asked coldly.

"I'm here to give you something." The Kisan wizard happily took out a box and opened it in front of it. There was a bloody heart inside. He folded it and threw it at it.

The two-headed snake rolled up the box with its remaining tail, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wizard Toins, there's no need to rush to leave every time. Your situation is a big problem here. We already have many complete coping strategies, provided that you trust us." Kisan said upon seeing this.

"No need. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." The two-headed snake was not interested in this. He did not trust these outsiders.

"Wait, don't you want to hear about what happened in the secret realm? By the way, there's also information about your disciple. Haven't you always wanted to know about him?" Kissan threw out another piece of news.

Sure enough, the two-headed monster snake turned around again.

"Do you have any news from Ewen Marichatton?"

"Of course, he appeared in the Flash Vortex Secret Realm this time."

"Tell me."

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the two-headed monster snake. He remembered that his disciple's qualifications were not very outstanding, but his comprehension was somewhat extraordinary.

"I have to say that you have a good eye and found a very interesting disciple. Because of his existence, our plan this time had loopholes, and we had to take more risks in the end. Otherwise, those wizards would never find any traces.

In the end, I had to give up one more chess piece, even though it was a chess piece of less value. "Kisan said with a little regret, and then simply described what happened in the secret realm, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Haha, you've grown so fast. You're worthy of being the one who dares to make demands on me." Both heads of the two-headed monster snake became excited and laughed.

"Your disciple is very valuable. If possible, I hope you can bring him over to our side. We can help him become a formal wizard." Kisan said.

"I'll consider it." The two-headed monster snake hurried away with different thoughts in mind.

Looking at the departing figure, Kisan shook his head slightly. He could of course see that Toins was perfunctory and probably had some plans in mind. At the moment, the apprentice was not as valuable as Toins, so he could only let Toins do what he wanted.
