Tanky Mage System

Pharmacist Test

After some formalities, they quickly got seated.

“I have already told you the reason why Lady Viya is here this time,” Old Cohen said.

“Indeed, it is to test my ability as a Pharmacist, right?” Gurney looked at Viya.

“Yes.” Viya did not conceal anything. “If you really have the ability of a high-tier Pharmacist, we will definitely protect you even more tightly. We will also satisfy more of your requests.”

A high-tier Pharmacist, be it in any force, would need to receive great protection.

After all, high-tier potions contained powerful supernatural medicinal effect. At crucial moments, they could even save a Transcendent’s life.

Greater protection and satisfying more of my requests…

Gurney squinted.

These pioneers of the Pioneer Corps are really rich.

A moment later, Gurney smiled to himself. “The level of a higher-tier Pharmacist? To be honest, I do not know my exact level either, but it is true that I can occasionally make some high-tier potions here for Father Cohen. As for those peak high-tier potions or those high-tier precious potions, I have never tried them. Also… Father does not have any of those materials to make a high-tier potion now. I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to display the extent of my Pharmacist ability for you.”

“No need to worry,” Viya said softly. “I came prepared.”

Days had passed since she arrived in Sugar Ruins City.

Searching for Gurney was one reason. During the rest of her time, using official means, Viya had already obtained the ingredients and recipes for more than ten high-tier precious potions.

Since she was going to test Gurney, then these materials and recipes had to come from her so that his actual skill in pharmacology could truly be displayed.

After saying so, Viya flicked her finger, and three high-tier precious potion recipes appeared. All three recipes were written on yellowish sheepskin parchment scrolls. They were clearly very old.

After receiving the scrolls, Gurney opened them and felt slightly stunned. He saw that there was nothing written on the scroll at all.

“High-tier? Precious?” Gurney raised a brow and looked at Viya.

“Yes!” Viya nodded slightly. “Any issues?”

“Not at all.” Next, Gurney used his catalyst acceptance spell and started to accept this high-tier precious recipe on the sheepskin parchment scroll.

Compared to the normal low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier potions, which were mostly used for recovery and temporary power boosts, within high-tier, there were precious-grade potion recipes.

These potions had already started to peer into the level of secret mark potions and were related to the “supernatural medicinal trait” of the supernatural materials themselves.

High-tier precious potions, if drank for a period of time, were able to raise the respective ability or attribute.

Of course, high-tier precious potions were priced at gold pounds at least. Ordinary Transcendents could not afford them.

A while later, Gurney accepted the contents of all three high-tier precious potion recipes.

Quickly running simulations in his head, Gurney understood the general focus and important aspects in concocting these potions.

“The core of a high-tier precious-grade potion lies in the supernatural medicinal trait of the materials. If they are going to be made for a long period of time and in huge quantities, it would be best if the alchemy secret room was made from black thorn wood or, even better, dragonblood wood, with rune seals carved around the walls.

“As for the work desk of the alchemy room, it needs to be made using corresponding supernatural materials to fully display the supernatural traits of the materials. As for here, we only have an ordinary Potion Alchemy Secret Room, and our work desk is only made with ordinary materials.

“Thus, when creating the potion, there is no doubt that the supernatural trait would be lost to a certain extent. The final effect will be weaker. Furthermore, this is the first time I am handling such supernatural herbs. The losses might be even higher,” Gurney explained as Viya listened with varying emotions.

“I know.” Viya nodded slightly.

She had learned some things about pharmacology and was clear about the difficulties of making high-tier precious potions.

For ordinary high-tier Pharmacists, not to mention concoction, even the handling of the supernatural herbs would be difficult. They might not be able to complete it. After all, not every high-tier Pharmacist could clearly observe the supernatural traits within the herbs.

As for those who were able to smoothly concoct high-tier precious potions, they were Specialist Pharmacists. Even for the Jade Orchid Supernatural Association, they did not have many Pharmacists of this level.

“Give me the materials. We will go and make the potions now. We should be done in about two hours.”

Has this guy really reached the Specialist level?

Seeing that he was asking for the materials so confidently, Viya was internally stirred.

After getting the materials, the three of them went through the secret door, entering the Potion-Alchemy Secret Room.

In the room, and at this moment, Belle and Hawk were processing materials. Seeing their arrival, the two quickly got up and greeted them.

“Go back first!” Old Cohen instructed.

“Yes.” The two of them packed up the materials and left quickly.

Gurney did not wait for long before he started to process the various supernatural herbs.

“Fifty-year black poisonous mushroom, distilled at low pressure and water temperature, would effectively remove toxins, leaving behind only the supernatural medicinal trait…”

...

“Eighty-year transparent jade ginseng needs to be pressed with high pressure. It is a pity we do not have such equipment here, so we can only extract fifty percent of this supernatural trait at most, or even thirty if we are unlucky…”

...

“Blood magic crystal, fifty years of age? No, it is not that old yet. The quality is not high either. It is only usable at best…”

...

Materials were processed by Gurney rapidly one by one.

Looking at Gurney who was processing the materials, Viya felt like he had completely invested himself into this potion alchemy.

Each action was fluid and smooth. As if he was creating a work of art.

And at this time, Gurney was indeed immersed in the processing of these supernatural herbs.

Right now, Gurney’s Bone Essence Potion Mantra had already reached level seven a few days ago. Level seven Bone Essence Potion Mantra allowed Gurney to gain a huge qualitative boost in terms of perception towards medicinal herbs.

When it was level six, Gurney could also sense the supernatural traits of certain herbs. Those medicinal traits had their own unique color and smell, and Gurney could tell what it was in a moment.

And now, with Bone Essence Potion Mantra rising to level seven, the medicinal traits of the herbs, even if they were hidden inside, could be clearly observed by Gurney.

Thus, it was not just high-tier precious potions. Gurney could even create secret mark potions now.

…

Two hours later.

Gurney poured the last of the potion liquid into the bottle. He had a total of 15 bottles of all three types of high-tier precious potions.

They were all created by Gurney successfully.

At the first, because it was his first time making high-tier precious potions, Gurney was a bit unskilled at processing the materials. The amount of medicinal traits he extracted was still not optimal, but afterwards, Gurney became more efficient as he practiced.

After putting them into the bottles, Gurney let out a deep breath and said, “All of the potions have been concocted.”
