122: Chapter 122 Ancient Potion Recipe

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Byron crouched down without the slightest disgust and reached out his hand toward her.

After rummaging through the corpse, Byron pulled his hand back.

At this moment, there was an extra space bag in his hand.

He didn't know if this person had hidden the item well, or if the person who killed her simply didn't have the time, leaving this space bag behind until now.

Byron lightly tossed the space bag in his hand, a look of reflection on his face: "I didn't expect you to be quite wealthy, actually being able to afford a space bag. It's just a shame I don't know what you've got inside."

Saying this, Byron's voice paused slightly: "But regardless of what's inside, all the grievances between us are wiped clean now."

Having said that, Byron raked the fallen leaves back over to cover the corpse.

After finding a puddle to wash up slightly, Byron was not in a hurry to continue his journey; instead, he found a hidden spot and crawled inside.

Traveling was nowhere near as important as opening a blind box.

Byron extended a sliver of Mental Energy, slowly reaching toward the space bag in his hand.

At the same time, he was prepared to cut off the connection to that sliver of Mental Energy at any moment, in case the space bag had any hidden traps.

Contact, open, pour out.

The entire process was very smooth, and no accidents occurred; it seemed Byron had worried too much.

However, if he encountered such a situation again, Byron would still do the same, and if conditions allowed, he would be even more vigilant and cautious.

After all, when it comes to one's own safety, one can never be too vigilant or cautious.

Looking at the things on the ground, a smile appeared on Byron's face; it was time to tally up his gains.

Unexpected surprises are always pleasing!

After clearing away some useless clothing and miscellaneous items, there wasn't much left.

The remaining items included a small pile of magic stones, about a hundred or so, a few bottles of potions to assist with Meditation, and several Potion Formulas recording numerous Materials.

Looking at the items in front of him, Byron curled his lips helplessly: "Truly poor."

Among these, the most valuable were the magic stones, followed by the potions, and the most useless were those few Potion Formulas.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Potion Formulas be the most valuable? Why were they the least valuable here?

Potion Formulas are indeed very valuable because every single Potion Formula is created by a Potion Master after a long period of repeated experiments and research into material ratios.

And such a Potion Formula usually contains a wealth of knowledge from the Potion Master.

Furthermore, during the period of knowledge protection, only the Potion Master who possesses the formula can perform Potion Making; this is equivalent to a machine that continuously produces magic stones, so no Potion Master is willing to sell them.

Adding these factors together, it causes the price of Potion Formulas to remain high.

However, the Potion Formulas mentioned here do not include those developed by Ancient Wizards.

For the Potion Formulas developed by those Ancient Wizards, not only have some of the Materials become extinct, but the formulas also lack clear instructions for Potion Making steps and material ratios.

With such a Potion Formula, because of the disappearance of Materials, it is a question of whether it can even be brewed at all.

Moreover, because the Potion Making process is full of uncertainty, no Wizard dares to attempt it.

Therefore, this leads to the low price of Ancient Wizard Potion Formulas, sometimes even resulting in a situation where no one is interested.

Byron also took a few glances at those Potion Formulas and recognized that they all had a clear function.

That is to assist with Meditation and accelerate the improvement of Mental Energy.

Thinking about it, this woman likely purchased these formulas because her own Mental Energy was improving slowly, hoping to research them herself and brew potions for her own use.

Regarding the woman's idea, Byron directly scoffed; she really thought Potion Making was too simple.

If Potion Making could be done simply by relying on a few Potion Formulas, then would the status of Potion Masters among Wizards still be so high, and would the price of potions remain so high?

Although he had heard his mentor mention that in the Three-Ring Holy Tower, there were indeed Potion Masters who had built factories by programming, standardizing, and automating the Potion Making process, achieving mass production of potions.

And when Byron heard this news, he almost couldn't keep his composure, feeling indignant in his heart.

What kind of sin had he committed? In his previous life, he was killed by AI, and after Transmigration, he was still being chased and killed like this?!

However, after hearing his mentor's subsequent explanation, Byron felt a bit better.

Because those kinds of factories could only brew the lowest-level potions.

Potions that were slightly higher-tier, requiring the addition of various reactions and coordination and connection through Mental Energy, still needed to be brewed by a Potion Master personally.

Therefore, Byron felt disdain for this woman's wishful thinking at this moment.

However, having said that, these Potion Formulas were not completely useless.

Otherwise, Byron would have already swept them into the trash heap along with the other junk.

If he could use the deduction function of the Eye of Omniscience to find replacements for the extinct Materials in the formulas and standardize them, that would be another path to making a fortune.

Because if one takes too much of the same potion, the body will develop a resistance.

Therefore, even if there is already a potion with a certain function on the market, potions with the same function still have competitiveness.

Moreover, among these Potion Formulas, one did indeed pique Byron's interest.

It was also a Potion Formula for increasing Mental Energy.

But this formula had a completely different aspect from the others: it helped a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice increase their Mental Energy to reach Perfection, meeting the requirements to advance to a Limit Wizard Apprentice.

In this way, Byron couldn't help but take it seriously.

If this formula weren't an Ancient Wizard Potion Formula, let alone owning it, even just taking a glance at it would have been a luxury for that woman.

After putting these things away one by one, Byron made a decision in his heart.

After returning to the academy and handling some miscellaneous matters, he would continue his secluded cultivation, trying to see if he could convert this Ancient Wizard Potion Formula.

If this endeavor succeeded, not only would it be a great help to the improvement of his strength, but it would also be a boost to his future Wizard path!

After ensuring there were no omissions, Byron once again set foot on the path to the academy.

Time passed quickly, and another half a month went by.

When Byron, with a face full of vicissitudes and eyes unable to hide his exhaustion, stood before the huge meteorite crater, looking at the town located in the very center of the crater and the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy floating in the sky.

He suddenly felt his eyes grow warm, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

Who knew how he had made it through this period of time?!

He finally understood why the academy would send an Official Wizard for the stretch of road after new students entered the forest.

If there were no Official Wizard to escort them, relying only on two Wizard Apprentices, more than half of the new students would have died.

That forest was too damn hard to travel through; he, a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice, had been so disheveled traveling through it alone, let alone this group of new students!
