31: Chapter 31 The Potions Alliance

After finishing her words, Isolde paid no attention to their expressions and directly took out a crystal ball.

"This is the 'Elementary Potion Manual', which contains the standard formulas and steps for seven types of basic Apprentice potions, as well as various Potionology knowledge."

"However, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, you need to pay me one hundred Magic Stones as the price, and this is still a discounted price because you are my student."

"Have you decided to purchase it?"

Isolde looked at Byron with her gray-blue eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.

Upon hearing Isolde's words, Byron's first reaction was shock.

It was not that Isolde's asking price was too high, but rather, it was too low.

He had seen this book in the Library, where it was priced at exactly one hundred and fifty Magic Stones; the mentor had directly deducted fifty Magic Stones!

Moreover, the one hundred and fifty Magic Stones at the Library were for the book format, not a Knowledge Crystal.

However, after regaining his composure, Byron was not overwhelmed by this huge surprise.

Ignoring the urging gazes of Colin and Elena, Byron said calmly.

"Mentor, I have seen this book in the Library; it costs one hundred and fifty Magic Stones, and yours..."

Isolde waved her hand: "I know what you mean. Rest assured, I would not challenge the Academy's authority for your sake, and you do not need to worry about the school causing you trouble."

"Because I wrote this book myself. I have the right to set the price and distribute it, and the selling price in the Academy was also set by me."

Upon hearing this, Byron looked at Isolde's calm and exquisite face, the corners of his mouth twitching, not knowing what to say.

Since Isolde had already said so, he could not say anything else and immediately took out his payment card to pay the Magic Stones for the book.

Seeing this, Isolde handed the Knowledge Crystal to Byron: "This knowledge now belongs to you."

Byron nodded with a smile, took the Knowledge Crystal, and asked.

"Mentor, I want to know exactly what the situation is with an Official Potion Master, and how to become one. I am willing to pay the corresponding price."

Regarding the question of Official Potion Masters, Byron had also asked Eliza, but he did not receive an answer.

The reason was very simple; this answer did not belong to Eliza, but to her mentor, and she could not disclose it.

As soon as these words were spoken, both Colin and Elena looked at Isolde curiously, waiting for her answer.

Although they did not have enough Aptitude in Potionology, they had studied it after all, and naturally, they were curious about such secrets regarding Potionology.

Isolde glanced at the few of them casually, her red lips moving slightly.

"Since you all want to know, I can tell you about it. As for the price, that is not necessary; it is not important information, so consider it my guidance to you."

Hearing this, the three of them were overjoyed and looked at Isolde with anticipation.

Isolde: "In the Wizard World, there is an Alliance founded by a dozen great existences who have reached the pinnacle of Potionology, which is the Potion Alliance."

"And an Official Potion Master is a title obtained by a Potion Master after passing the assessment of the Wizard Potion Alliance."

"Obtaining this title also means you have joined the Potion Alliance and can enjoy some of the benefits within, such as learning about the most cutting-edge research in potions, purchasing Potionology knowledge, and attending trade fairs held by Potion Masters..."

Hearing this, Byron became extremely interested in becoming an Official Potion Master.

Having been in the Wizard Academy for so long, he certainly knew that the general basic and advanced knowledge at the apprentice level could be purchased through the Academy or with Magic Stones.

But even some research results, cutting-edge knowledge, and secret information at the apprentice level were held in the hands of various mentors, and the difficulty of obtaining them was beyond imagination.

And this was not to mention the knowledge and the latest research results at the Official Wizard level.

If he joined this Wizard Potion Alliance, it would not only help him acquire knowledge, but also allow Byron to understand the situation in the outside world.

And this was the most important thing. Do not forget that the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy is located on a peninsula at the northernmost end of the Wizard Continent; it could be said to be remote among the remote.

"As for how to become an Official Potion Master, as I said before, you need to pass their assessment."

"The assessment consists of three parts."

Saying this, Isolde raised three fingers.

"The first is the assessment of theoretical knowledge, which is the easiest part to achieve."

"The second is practical operation; you need to successfully refine three types of Apprentice potions within a limited time from those selected by the examiner."

"Most people get stuck at this stage. After all, no one can master all Apprentice potions; there will always be one or two that you do not know."

"So this is when your Aptitude and learning ability come into play."

Hearing this, the three people present all gasped; they did not expect the difficulty to be so high at just the second stage, so what about the third stage...

Isolde continued without pausing: "The third part tests Potionology Aptitude and creativity."

"The examiner picks an Apprentice potion formula, and you must improve and optimize it within a limited time."

"This is all the assessment content required to become an Official Potion Master certified by the Potion Alliance."

Seeing the expressions of Byron and the others, Isolde spoke up to comfort them, which was rare.

"Elena, you and Colin do not need to be so depressed. For you, there is no need to consider this problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Elena and the other person's eyes became resentful.

"As for Byron, you also do not need to be too anxious. In fact, the vast majority of wizards only pass the assessment and become Official Potion Masters after becoming Official Wizards."

"Only a small portion of wizards with outstanding Aptitude can pass the assessment at the Wizard Apprentice level, and all of these people later became famous Potion Great Masters."

Saying this, Isolde looked at Byron: "So Byron, as long as you become an Official Potion Master after becoming an Official Wizard, that is already very good and enough to satisfy my expectations for you."

Byron asked back: "Then, Mentor, at which stage did you become an Official Potion Master?"

Facing this question raised by Byron, Isolde did not answer directly, but she rarely revealed a smile, smiling without speaking.

Seeing this, Byron's eyes suddenly narrowed.

At the same time, another doubt arose in his heart.

That is, since this is the case, why would Isolde be a mentor in such a remote wizard academy as the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy?

But Byron did not ask this question out loud, nor did he dare to ask.

After leaving the mentor's spire, Elena pulled Colin and Byron toward the living area.

Actually, Byron wanted to refuse; he had other things to do.

However, being outnumbered, facing Elena's tugging, Byron simply could not break free and had to resign himself to his fate.

Byron said helplessly: "Elena, alright, let go of me. I'll go, okay?"

Colin also nodded quickly, indicating that he agreed as well.

Seeing this, Elena nodded with satisfaction and let the two of them go.

"Wouldn't it have been better to be like this earlier? I'm treating you to a meal to celebrate properly, yet you still decline."

Listening to Elena's words, Byron and Colin looked at each other, both wearing a bitter smile on their faces.

If only it were as she said.
