Chapter 398 - Master is sus...
Liam tucked away all the other thoughts from his mind and called out the system interface to check out the two new recipes he had learned.
His next steps would heavily depend on how things progress in this.
[Basic Healing Potion]
[Basic Mana Potion]
[Basic Stamina Potion]
[Basic Strength Potion]
[Basic Agility Potion]
[Basic Fire Resistance Potion]
[Basic Anti Venom Potion]
[Low Grade Body Cleansing Potion]
[Low Grade Stealth potion]
[Low Grade Anti Venom Potion]
[Low Grade Water Breathing]
[Low Grade Rage Potion]
[High Grade Healing Potion]
[High Grade Mana Potion]
[Chrysanthemum Lethal Poison]
[Nine-Color Paralyzing Poison]
"Alright, done with the basic potions and the low grade potions, now it is time to try the high grade potions. This should definitely get me the master promotion."
Liam thoroughly looked at the ingredients and concoction process of the two high potion recipes he had learned. He only had two, high grade mana potion and high grade healing potion.
Just like their name suggested, these were far more efficient than their lower grade counterparts.
Especially after reaching Level 50, Liam would need these immediately.
After Level 50, there would be a huge jump in both the quality and quantity of his mana, and also his health would receive a significant buff.
At that time the low grade mana potions and low grade health potions would only be capable of regenerating a small chunk of his needs.
In fact, even now before he is yet to cross the Level 50 threshold, these potions are already insufficient. So it was about time to upgrade these inferior potions.
Besides, there was also another reason that Liam needed the supply of these two potions. Not only were they more effective but they also contained far fewer impurities.
So using these instead of the inferior potions would be less detrimental to his growth once the Level 50 milestone is reached and he forms a mana core.
In his previous life, several people had fallen into this pit and were forced to use these lesser regeneration potions because they did not have the better ones in hand.
At this point, mana potions and health potions were extremely essential to the game. One would simply find it difficult to survive without these.
If they did not have enough stock of these potions and be able to use these potions during a fight, then killing Elites and other stronger monsters would become impossible.
Their movements would become restricted. They would have to go out of their way to avoid PVP or other dead-end situations.
The entire game would suddenly become filled with death traps without the regeneration potions.
Liam had already been through this once before so he knew the importance of these potions. This was precisely why he was focusing on alchemy right now.
Before he touched Level 50, he absolutely needed to concoct a big batch of these potions.
If he fails and doesn't manage to do it before he hits Level 50, it still doesn't matter. He simply cannot go out without these potions in hand.
Otherwise, he would be forced to use the inferior lesser potions and only be undoing all the hard work he did so far and start ruining his body's constitution little by little.
"Ok, between these two, I have the ingredients I need for the mana potion, so I will start with that first."
After studying the ingredients and the concoction process, Liam made up his mind and started working out the details.
He also shared with his fox and his fox's assistant the herbs and the other items that he would be needing. The two busied themselves setting up everything.
"Master, shall I add the water and activate the cauldron?" Seeka asked as Liam seemed to be waiting for the two of them to finish up.
But surprisingly, Liam shook his head.
Only a fool would underestimate the difficulty in concocting high grade potions and he was not going to do that.
Before even touching the cauldron, he first started mentally going over the entire process from start to finish.
He did this several times, paying full attention to all the details, even the smallest ones. Both Luna and Seeka waited for him patiently.
Only after about half an hour, Liam opened his eyes. He looked at the two who were staring at him in a daze and smiled. "Well, we have about 90% chance of success I think. Let's start."
After all, there was only so much thinking and mental preparation one could do. Everything boiled down to the actual execution.
Seeka filled in the water for the cauldron and Liam relaxedly raised his hand to activate the mechanism.
The huge vessel thrummed alive and he started pumping in more and more mana for it to achieve the optimal state.
As the first water bubble appeared with the temperature of the cauldron high enough, Liam immediately commanded the fox. "Luna, now."
