Chapter 62 - 60: On the Importance of Potions

Hang Yu first used three medicine refining formulas.Goblin Life Potion Formula, Goblin Spiritual Power Potion Formula, Goblin Pain Relief Potion Formula.

The three formulas merged with his body in a flash of light, instantly bringing about a sense of enlightenment. A vast array of techniques and related knowledge flooded into his mind, a feeling beyond words.

Low-level potions are very simple to refine.

For instance, the Spiritual Power Recovery Potion about to be refined.

One piece of Magic Power Grass, a portion of Spiritual Spring water, and one potion tube are enough.

Potion tubes are available for sale at the goblin Production Stele in the camp. One Gray Crystal Stone can buy two hundred tubes, which is extremely cheap.

Some may ask.

Can’t ordinary glass test tubes be used?

Of course, ordinary glass test tubes can be used!

However, mundane materials do not possess Spiritual Energy; they can’t be placed into Storage Space, leading to many inconveniences.

Everything is ready.

Hang Yu officially began medicine refining.

He first extracted Spirit Grass Essence from the Magic Power Grass, then combined it with Spiritual Spring water to form a potion. Finally, after refining the potion for about a minute, it condensed to less than one-tenth of its volume. The bubbles disappeared, and it stopped boiling, turning blue and being poured into the potion tube.

The first Spiritual Power Recovery Potion was thus successfully refined.

[Goblin Spiritual Power Potion], Level 1, Gray Middle Grade Quality, takes effect in 5 seconds, restoring 2 points of Spiritual Power per second, lasting for 18 seconds.

"Success!"

"I didn’t expect it to be so easy!"

There is always a probability of failure in medicine refining, even for the lowest level refining.

The reason Hang Yu found it easy is due to his innate skill effect, which allows him to max out his proficiency from the moment he mastered the medicine refining skill.

The innate skill "Memory of the Great Sage" is non-combat, non-defense, non-support, non-production, offering no direct combat power boost but providing precious knowledge and experience, besides directly increasing skill proficiency.

For Hang Yu, most skills are maxed out in proficiency once learned.

This effectively reduces the time wasted on skill practice and greatly aids production. Even without the production enhancements from innate talents, it can at least save a vast amount of time, resources, and materials.

Hang Yu carefully examined the first potion he refined.

If he remembered correctly, this potion should be of a dark gray quality, with an effect duration of fifteen seconds.

The potion in Hang Yu’s hand is of Light Gray Quality, with the effect duration extended to eighteen seconds. Hang Yu doesn’t have the production talent addition, so this change results from the Spiritual Spring.

Refining with tap water is totally fine.

Low-level potions have very low water quality requirements.

Because Hang Yu specifically used Spiritual Spring water, the potency slightly increased.

"Not bad, with this stuff, Fatty’s production can be secured!" Hang Yu was very satisfied with his creation: "Recovering 2 points every second for a full 18 seconds, totaling 36 points of recovery, far surpasses the current total Spiritual Power of people!"

It is clear to see.

This stuff will be sufficient to meet usage needs for a considerable time in the future.

Potions cannot have cumulative effects, but compared to recovery items like red and blue berries, potions are simple and convenient to use, act fast, and recover quickly, better adapting to combat needs.

Hang Yu then went on to refine a Life Potion.

[Goblin Life Potion], Level 1, Gray Middle Grade Quality, takes effect in 5 seconds, restoring 2 points of Life Energy per second, lasting for 18 seconds.

The effects of the two potions are the same.

Only the type of recovery differs.

Mass production of potions is an absolute breakthrough.

Hang Yu is now at Level 3, yet his total Life Energy is only 20 points. Thanks to the medicinal herbs offered by Er Gou, it has now increased to 21 points.

Regardless of how severe the injuries suffered in battle.

As long as a mouthful of potion is swallowed, one can fully recover.

This is almost akin to a Regeneration Potion, dramatically boosting survival capacity, directly reversing the battle situation, and instantaneously elevating Hang Yu’s overall strength!

Without a doubt.

The ability to mass-refine potions in Jiang City currently belongs solely to this place.

The significance and impact of mass-producing potions are tremendous!

It gives Hang Yu the confidence to venture into more places, challenge stronger monsters, and earn greater and richer rewards, turning intelligence advantages into profit better.

Hang Yu felt that a few hundred potions are still not enough.

He needs to expand herb cultivation, and preferably in the future, utilize the lands of neighbors as well.

The Cyan Dragon Alley community is a treasure trove for planting Spirit Plants, with every inch of land capable of creating immense value!

......

After Hang Yu crafted a few potions.

He immediately rushed to Fatty Brother’s culinary studio.

When Pang Dahai took the azure potion in his hand and learned that Hang Yu could craft them in bulk, his chubby face was filled with disbelief, with surprise shining in his wily eyes.

Fatty’s biggest concern?

Isn’t it the issue of production volume!

"Holy crap, this is amazing! How on earth did you manage to get it?"

"I dare say, even if it sells for a hundred thousand, there’d definitely be someone eager to buy it."

"If this potion can be used in the studio, it would definitely give us a massive advantage!"

"You have no idea, lately as the importance of Spiritual Food has been revealed, the value of Spirit Chefs has skyrocketed crazily, so much so that they’re so in demand you might not be able to hire them even if you’ve got the money."

Now more and more Spirit Realm materials are appearing in the real world.

Some are brought out actively by people crossing into the Spirit Realm, while others materialize directly in the cities due to Spirit Realm infiltration and transfer phenomena, with some Spirit Fruits, Spirit Grass, and Spirit Medicine all having recovery effects.

But none are as awesome as the potion!

The quantity simply can’t meet the demand of Jiang City’s millions of people!

Hang Yu directly said, "Consider it fifty thousand per potion, I’ll sell you a hundred."

"What? Fifty thousand! A hundred!" Pang Dahai’s expression was extremely exaggerated, "Well, fifty thousand isn’t expensive, but Fatty Brother, even if I were to sell my ass to make some extra cash, there’s no way I could scrape together that kind of money."

"Not asking you to sell your ass!" Hang Yu said, "You can buy the potion on credit and repay after the funds are recovered. I’ll also lend you an additional four million in cash to officially open up the restaurant."

Brothers are brothers.

The account still has to be clear.

Hang Yu’s crafting potions does incur costs.

Fatty might at most get an extremely discounted internal price, but there’s no way the potion would be supplied to him for free.

Hang Yu had already calculated the cost of medicine refining, with the market price of White Crystal Stones currently fluctuating between three to four million, the seed price for the Tree Spirit Precision Forest in bags is one White Crystal Stone per bag, with more than two hundred seeds per bag.

The survivability rate of Spirit Realm Seeds is extremely high, so assuming two hundred, the cost per herb is between fifteen to twenty thousand, even adding the consumption of Spiritual Spring and test tubes, the material cost would not exceed twenty-five thousand.

Even selling at a discounted price to Fatty.

Hang Yu could earn approximately double the profits.

He wouldn’t just sell to Fatty alone, with some portion being sold externally, each potion priced no less than a hundred thousand, enough to generate over 300% profit, given the current shortage of supplies, it would inevitably be in short supply, reaping a hefty profit!

Hang Yu couldn’t be sure whether others who buy the potions would also use them in production, or even in the culinary field, causing competition with Fatty Brother’s culinary studio.

However, there’s no need to worry about such issues.

Pang Dahai getting potions at half price would hold a significant cost advantage.

"I also specifically prepared several cooking spices from the Spirit Realm, which considerably enhance food flavor, far beyond anything in the real world!"

"With these, I guarantee the Spirit Realm food products from our studio can firmly occupy the high-end market of Jiang City’s culinary industry. Don’t worry about how others compete and fight, we can stand aloof in an untouchable place, watching over them."

Pang Dahai looked extremely excited.

Holy crap, what’s up with Hangzi?

How can he get so many good things from the Spirit Realm?

Who cares, the important thing is making money!

Fatty’s confidence soared upon getting the Spiritual Power Potion, with no worries left.

"Alright, with Hangzi’s strong support, we can’t delay on opening the restaurant any longer."

Pang Dahai is still very focused on his career.

He immediately took out the prepared materials.

"Everything else is ready. I’m now planning to acquire a restaurant and immediately open it. The location of these few restaurants on the list looks great, with recent intentions for transfer. I’m a bit indecisive about the specific site selection. Do you have any good suggestions?"

The rapid changes in the city mean areas near subway stations or along subway lines, which are high-risk zones, are untouchable.

Additionally, densely packed monster transfer points are untouchable, who knows how many more bombs of monsters will explode in the future!

Hang Yu believes that the future thriving and central areas of cities will revolve around Spirit Land.

Thus acquiring property nearby Spirit Land is most likely a sure bet, Fatty had his eye on these restaurants, with two located on Cyan Dragon Street, with Cyan Dragon Street being an old street near the Cyan Dragon Alley community.

Locals refer to it as Dragon Street.

It used to have high popularity, with dense small eateries, and plenty of bars and KTVs around, likely to become a very popular commercial street in the future due to its proximity to Cyan Dragon Alley community.

Hang Yu directly suggested Fatty acquire a place here.

He also mentioned to Pang Dahai that he had bought a house in Cyan Dragon Alley community, confident that Pang Dahai’s brain would, with his guidance, realize the importance of Spirit Land.

The city’s rampant plant growth is a headache for the citizens.

Some areas are still doing alright, with local residents silently grateful.

But little do they know, the areas where plants grow the most wildly are precisely the places that will be of greater value in the future.
