112: Choose to brew magic potions
After composing himself, Kapdo began to talk about the potions Renn wanted to refine.
"Renn, the stone flower fruit and stone flower juice you provided are both rare Gold Rank materials. Although I haven't seen this kind of magic plant before, there are others with similar effects."
"Therefore, I am confident that I can use the stone flower fruit to refine a gold-grade potion."
"You are already at the Silver Peak; if you can take a gold-grade auxiliary potion, I believe you can definitely break through to the Gold Rank."
"Really? Master Kapdo."
Renn was very excited; he hadn't expected Kapdo to be so confident in refining a gold-grade potion.
"Of course!"
"However, there is a problem. My injuries haven't fully healed yet. My strength had already regressed to the Silver Peak due to the power of the Evil God, and now I have new injuries. I might not be able to refine potions for you until I recover."
"If it were just refining Silver Rank potions, I could start now, but gold-grade potions are different. I won't be certain of success until my injuries are healed."
Hearing Kapdo say this, Renn took out the remaining stone flower fruit and stone flower juice from his spatial ring.
"You still have this much?"
Kapdo looked at the stone flower fruit and stone flower juice on the table with some surprise.
"This is all of it."
In total, there were four stone flower fruits and eight portions of stone flower juice.
"Master Kapdo, I have consumed a portion of this stone flower fruit and stone flower juice myself, and the effects were extraordinary. Master, can this stuff heal your injuries?"
Renn had always felt an inexplicable sense of urgency pushing him to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Since coming to this different world, he had also felt a deep lack of security, wanting to become stronger quickly—to make himself and his territory stronger.
Now that Kapdo, this Potion Master and former Gold Rank Archmage, was willing to assist him with all his might, Renn wanted to make use of all of Kapdo's abilities as soon as possible.
He himself could also take that crucial step as soon as possible to become a Gold Rank powerhouse.
"Ordinary recovery potions are useless to me, but I'm really not sure about this kind of rarity. It's worth a try!"
"However, are you willing to part with it?"
Kapdo looked at Renn, his gaze scrutinizing the young man before him.
"Of course, Master, feel free to take it and try!"
Since Renn had already brought it out, he would not hesitate.
"Good!"
Kapdo said no more. If a young man like Renn had such boldness, what else could he say?
"Renn, wait a moment!"
Putting away a portion of stone flower fruit and stone flower juice, Kapdo returned to the bedroom behind him to attempt to heal his injuries.
Renn waited outside for news from Kapdo.
While waiting outside the door, Renn was still a bit apprehensive. If the stone flower fruit and stone flower juice were ineffective for Kapdo, then he would have wasted a precious resource.
"I hope it's useful!"
After a while, Kapdo hadn't come out, but Cecilia returned first.
Renn told Cecilia about what he and Kapdo had just discussed. After hearing it, little Cecilia's eyes welled up with tears.
"Alright, Cecilia, don't worry. With Dora here, the curse on you will definitely be cleared, and the same goes for the curse on Master Kapdo."
"Just live peacefully in your brother's territory and don't think too much. No one here dares to bully you."
Renn rubbed Cecilia's little head, comforting the young girl.
"Mm!"
Sobbing slightly, Cecilia lowered her head and responded.
Renn and Cecilia chatted quietly outside, but both of their attention was focused on the room inside, constantly sensing the fluctuations of mana within.
When evening came, Kapdo's tightly closed door finally opened.
Seeing a radiant Kapdo walk out from inside, Renn's heart settled, knowing he had made the right bet this time.
"Renn, is little Cecilia getting impatient?"
"Grandpa!"
Cecilia threw herself into Kapdo's arms.
"Master Kapdo, it seems everything went smoothly!"
"Yes, the effects of these two rarities were even better than I expected. My new injuries have completely healed, and some old hidden wounds in my body have also been repaired."
"The mana core damaged by the cursed power has also seen some recovery. My strength has returned to the Gold Rank."
Kapdo spoke while stroking his precious granddaughter's little head in his arms.
"This time, it's all thanks to you, Renn."
"Don't worry, I will settle in the Red River Territory from now on. Just say what you need me to do, and I will help you with all my strength!"
"I have personally experienced the effects of the stone flower fruit and stone flower juice. Having this firsthand experience gives me more inspiration and ideas for the upcoming potion refining."
"I also have some of my own collections that can be used as auxiliary ingredients. These three stone flower fruits can be used to refine at least five gold-grade potions, and if we're lucky, even more."
"As for this stone flower juice, I have two options for you to choose from, Renn!"
"One is to use the stone flower juice to refine gold-grade potions, the effect of which is almost the same as the potions refined from stone flower fruit."
"The other is to refine it into Silver Rank potions. By adding some auxiliary ingredients, I can enhance the aptitude-improving effect of the stone flower juice. The medicinal power of stone flower juice is gentle and has a good effect on users below the Gold Rank."
"If the stone flower juice is refined into gold-grade potions, these seven portions can only produce eleven or twelve gold-grade potions. The aptitude-improving effect of gold-grade potions would be slightly weaker, focusing more on increasing strength."
"But if refined into Silver Rank, I estimate I can produce around a hundred portions. It's just that the amount of auxiliary ingredients will be a bit more, but don't worry, I have enough stock of those."
Kapdo gave Renn two choices, and after a brief thought, Renn chose the second one.
Currently, only he, Ross, and a few others in the territory could use gold-grade potions. Moreover, Ross and the others had just broken through to the Silver Rank, so it would be too difficult for them to use gold-grade potions to break through to the Gold Rank.
Therefore, what the territory needed most right now was Silver Rank potions to create more Silver Rank powerhouses.
Most importantly, Kapdo had enhanced the aptitude-improving effect of the stone flower juice. This was crucial for Renn, as his current subordinates generally had low levels and average talent, so they needed this kind of Silver Rank potion to improve.
Between a few bottles of gold-grade potions and a hundred bottles of highly practical Silver Rank potions, Renn chose the latter.
"Refine the stone flower fruit into gold-grade potions, and the stone flower juice into Silver Rank potions as you suggested, Master Kapdo."
"You can use whichever magic plants you want from the Medicinal Herb Field, Master Kapdo. Feel free to use them as you wish."
"Cecilia, you don't need to refine the blood of the wild wolf or the blood of the magic wolf for now. I've subdued a group of magic wolves."
"We have enough magic wolf mounts for now. I currently need warriors blood and heros blood to improve the strength of the Guard Army soldiers, so you should refine these two kinds of potions from now on."
"Okay, Big Brother Renn!"
Renn had brought back nearly a hundred Bronze Rank Demon Wolves and five Silver Rank Demon Wolves from Magic Wolf Peak. In the short term, the mounts for the Magic Wolf Knights were sufficient.
Renn temporarily released these magic wolves in the Red River Valley to let them lead various Wolf Packs. Over a hundred Wolf Packs of different sizes were distributed from the Bright Moon Territory in the far north to the Blackstone Territory in the south.
When Renn needed magic wolves, he would recall a few to the territory. When not needed, they would gather intelligence and anything else useful for Renn in the wilderness.
The intelligence of a Bronze Rank Demon Wolf was already comparable to that of an ordinary human. With their inclusion, Renn's control over these Wolf Packs instantly improved by several levels.
