Chapter 515 - 515 484 Fae's Meditation Technique 13

515: Chapter 484 Fae’s Meditation Technique (1/3) 515: Chapter 484 Fae’s Meditation Technique (1/3) Yisen Gard’s current difficulty essentially stems from the fact that he was a parachute leader.

Patrick may have been a bit of a poser as both a villain and a noble, but he managed the many branches of the Platinum Iridium Workshop in the Southern Territory in an orderly manner, at least maintaining stability and incremental progress.

After his death, the disciple of Master Gossay who took over his position was at least highly capable professionally.

As for Yisen Gard, although he could be considered an alchemy genius, he was probably just in the mid-ranks of the elite within the hierarchy of alchemy.

Apprentice, Formal, Elite, Master, Grandmaster… basically, professions are divided like this.

Although the titles aren’t always used so rigidly, this is how they categorize potions specifically.

Apprentice potions are essentially various basic healing potions, coagulating salves, and the various trauma medicines made by adventurers themselves, all of this level.

The potions that an alchemist of this level can make won’t exceed this range in terms of effects; they will at most work faster.

Formal potions have combat capabilities.

For example, quick clotting, temporary wound repair, skin hardening, strength enhancement…

and alchemical potions like the Frost Condensing Potion can even easily freeze a body of water, while a spreading burn potion could destroy a whole forest.

As for Elite potions…

they include potions capable of regenerating limbs, healing internal organs; potions that directly enhance a Sublimator’s abilities, or even potions that provide the strength or agility of Magical Beasts for a short period, as well as various rare Magic Potions, all belong to this tier.

If used for attack, it would be as Ian demonstrated in the battle with the Magnetic Light Knight— the explosive force could even rival a volley from a team of Alchemical Cannons, with a lethal radius enveloping the entire stone tree grove.

This was already considered military-grade supplies, capable of unleashing tremendous destructive power when needed.

At this level, Ian rarely made potions because the materials became scarce, only obtainable with Demonic Beast Materials or Sublimation Plants.

Going higher, we enter the realm of Masters and Grandmasters.

It’s because of this that Master Gossay, even as a Second Energy Level individual, receives the courtesies of many Nobles and powerhouses of The Empire.

Even though he’s only at the Second Energy Level, the value he can create with his potions and his academic value far surpass an Ordinary Third Energy Level.

And Ian’s standard was already nearing this category.

“Actually, it’s mainly because I have the Silver Chip.

If I had to rely on my own techniques, I would probably only be about the same as Yisen Gard,” Ian admitted.

Ian was quite clear-headed about himself; he had been rigorously training in alchemy since about the age of ten and using the Silver Chip to deduce, but this couldn’t completely offset the weak foundation caused by not having systematically learned related alchemy knowledge.

Yisen Gard was able to create a targeted potion against Brain-Eating Parasites on the fly with his solid foundation, whereas Ian at that time couldn’t.

Not just with alchemy alone.

However, through the numerous alchemy books left by Master Gossay and Ian’s ongoing studies and research… most importantly, the keen perception and fine control abilities that came with becoming a Second Energy Level helped him gradually grasp the essence of alchemy.

—The fusion and sublimation of Origin Quality, the various catalysts and transitions…

A simple principle.

The higher the level, the better the hardware, the better the experimental conditions and tools, the easier it is to achieve research results.

But Yisen Gard was different.

He relied purely on his solid foundation and indeed quite strong alchemy talent to reach this point.

Of course, to outsiders, Ian, who could easily purify Ant Queen’s Decay and master the new Regeneration Potion formulation techniques, was already completely a future Alchemy Master, a rising star.

“But in the end, Yisen,”

Ian said, “they haven’t deceived you in any way; if you feel tied down, it’s simply because you’re too young—they won’t be genuinely convinced by you within two months.”

“Indeed,” Yisen Gard nodded, “and being young is not the problem.

What’s most important is that my current identity all comes from my teacher and my mother.

I can’t consult with them on everything I do…

At the very least, I need to gain control of a part of my own power.”

“That’s why I need you, Ian.”

“You can break this initial deadlock.

At least within the Platinum Iridium Workshop, I won’t be so helpless to consult and seek help for a vote.”

“Good, you’ve seen it clearly, you’ve really grasped the key,”

Ian actually smiled at this, standing up: “Let me know when you need it, and I’ll help immediately.”

“But for today, it’s time to rest.”

“Please feel free to choose any room.”

Yisen Gard also stood up, and he was equally happy about this meeting with Ian: “Although this place is meant for a family, only my sister and I stay here.

The adults wouldn’t reside in such inexpensive accommodations.”

——Is this considered cheap?

“You have a sister?”

With a mental remark, Ian was somewhat surprised, while Yisen Gard scratched his head, “I should have mentioned that, shouldn’t I?

But she’s still young and her affairs have nothing to do with the matters I’m involved in, so she’s being taken care of by my mother’s people and hasn’t come to the Imperial Capital.”

The night had grown deep, and even the simulation light screens in the Central Urban District of the Imperial Capital had turned into a dim night sky.

Stepping out of Yisen Gard’s room, Ian found that Hua’an and the Frost Butterfly were very spirited, thoroughly enjoying themselves playing cards at the table.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be the Great Fairy teaching the Little Fairy how to play cards.

Fairy Cards, a rather traditional form of entertainment among the Fairy Clan, the game rules were somewhat similar to some fantasy card games from Ian’s previous life, divided into various classes with special decks and ways of combat.

Hua’an was holding cards about the size of a human thumb, explaining the attributes and meanings of the cards to the Frost Butterfly who seemed to understand yet be confused.

“This is a field card…

it can create long-lasting field effects!”

“This is a monster card, which can be used for combat, to attack the opponent’s cards and the opponent themselves!”

“This is a Spirit Energy card, it can create a variety of special effects…”

“Very good, you’ve got all the basic rules down, let’s play cards then!”

“No.” After seeing all the card effects, the Frost Butterfly shook her head seriously, giving Hua’an a huge blow: “Why not?”

“Because Senior wants to bully me, not to play cards with me,” said the Little Fairy righteously, her words flowing smoothly and hard to believe.

“Why are you so sensitive about that…” Hua’an hung her head in dejection, especially feeling the sting of her little scheme being thwarted.

“Alright then, my two adorable misses,” Ian clapped his hands as he entered the hallway, “It’s time to rest for today.”

“We are Fae, we don’t need rest!” Hua’an protested, then saw the Frost Butterfly yawn widely: “But I want to sleep…”

“Really?” the Little Fairy was shocked, “Do Fae also want to sleep?”

“Maybe I gave the Frost Butterfly some wrong knowledge about humans?” Ian clearly wasn’t accustomed to sleeping so early either; he hadn’t needed sleep for a long time.

At the Second Energy Level, one could effectively control their body, extending the prime condition during non-combat times as much as possible.

But occasionally resting the mind and body could enhance work efficiency.

He sat down on the sofa, then lifted the Frost Butterfly onto his shoulder.

The Little Fairy tousled Ian’s hair, creating a comfortable shape, and then leaned against it to fall asleep.

“Hey,” Hua’an approached curiously, flying close and asking, “What were you and that blond-haired lad discussing about?

Even though I couldn’t hear you, the mood seemed quite lively!”

“We were talking about how to gain more power in the human world,” Ian said with an air of importance, “It’s just the usual stuff that humans talk about — so we were quite excited.”

“Oh.” Hua’an didn’t sense any lie from Ian and lost her enthusiasm as she backed away, “That doesn’t sound very interesting.”

“Indeed, many aspects of human society aren’t much of interest to Fae,” Ian admitted frankly, “I don’t like it much either, but it’s a necessary part.”

“Understood, understood,” Hua’an nodded seriously with her arms crossed, “Just like my teacher says he doesn’t care about money, but when it comes to fighting for funding, he’s really fierce…”

“Speaking of which, Miss Hua’an.”

The white-haired young man glanced at the Frost Butterfly beside him, straightened her slightly askew body, then looked at Hua’an with eyes full of curiosity and eagerness, “What exactly is the Fae’s meditation technique?

Outside of the city, I’ve been wanting to try it, but there wasn’t a stable enough environment.”

“Now, within the Imperial Capital, I should meet all the conditions.”

“I am very curious about it.”
