Chapter 224: Chapter 155 Our comrades are scattered across all directions and have even infiltrated the enemy ranks

Magic Pharmacy.

It was a very popular and rare specialty.

Magic Potion had various magical effects, such as making people bigger or smaller, turning them into animals or magical creatures, or even changing their gender, and rejuvenating.

It could also alleviate fatigue, heal injuries, strengthen constitution, enhance spirit, and amplify magical power...

Even, Magic Pharmacy had progressed to form a system—by taking specially made Magic Potions to elevate the level of life and master transcendent abilities, while the person could also learn magic or other strength systems.

For this reason, potion makers tightly controlled the Magic Pharmacy texts, not allowing them to leak out, to amass wealth and achieve higher status.

Saba was the most accomplished person in Magic Pharmacy at the academy, so much so that even the principal and the king had to greet him warmly and dare not show any disrespect.

Therefore, his arrogance and sense of superiority were not without reason.

Zhou Yuan knew this and put on a visibly shocked expression, "Become your apprentice? Me? Do I have that qualification?"

"You are very brave, and I like apprentices with your personality. If you don’t steal or rob, how can you become strong?"

Saba said calmly, "Don’t worry, even if you don’t have talent in Magic Pharmacy, I can make you talented. Your senior brother’s senior brother’s senior brother was like that."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan was overjoyed, "Please accept me as your student, Master!"

"Follow me."

Saba turned and walked away.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly dug out the eyeballs from the corpse and put them into a glass bottle, then quickly caught up with Saba.

He reminded everyone in the channel, "I’ll go undercover first to check out the situation."

"Be careful."

"We’ll first clean up the surrounding minions."

"Let’s see if we can sneak out a few powerful Magic Potions from the Magic Pharmacy classroom."

·

All the apprentices they encountered on the way were respectfully greeting Saba, and his portraits could be seen on the corridor walls, which showed how high his status was at the Magic Academy.

Soon, Zhou Yuan arrived at the Potion Department.

Unlike the outside, the Magic Pharmacy classroom was clean, with no traces of fighting, neatly arranged items, but the overwhelming pungent odor was somewhat unbearable.

"This is the Potion Department, my Potion Department."

Saba walked ahead with his hands behind his back, came to the bookshelf, pulled out a thick book on Magic Pharmacy, and handed it to Zhou Yuan.

"Finish reading it within a day, no problem, right?"

"No problem." Zhou Yuan nodded.

According to his character design, he now had six eyes, significantly increasing his reading speed, and finishing the book in a day was no problem at all.

"Then go ahead." Saba pointed to the desk nearby.

"Okay."

Zhou Yuan obediently sat down and started reading the book, which was an introduction to Magic Pharmacy, considered beginner’s knowledge.

Saba, meanwhile, went to the burning furnace and started making Magic Potions.

Zhou Yuan glanced over from time to time, curious.

Soon, his face turned pale.

At first, the materials Saba put into the cauldron were quite normal, herbs, crystals, and such, but they became more and more strange as it went on.

Bone ash, fresh blood, flesh fragments, cursed items... even transparent wriggling worms!

[Drink it, and you’ll gain strength, but the price?]

[However, it’s best if you still drink this Magic Potion, despite the disgusting materials used; it can let you acquire a vast amount of Magic Pharmacy knowledge without any side effects. Every Magic Potion master has similar inheritance methods, but Saba’s approach is evidently more twisted.]

So that’s how it is...

Zhou Yuan swallowed hard, realizing it was not unacceptable.

For extraordinary persons to become stronger, they went to great lengths. Sacrificing just a bowl of disgusting soup to gain vast Magic Pharmacy knowledge seemed like a great deal.

As for whether it was disgusting or not, that was completely out of consideration.

Zhou Yuan set aside his thoughts and quickly flipped through the book.

By the time he finished reading, more than two hours had passed.

Saba was still brewing the potion.

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, then started reading the book from the beginning again.

After finishing it the second time, Saba finally completed the potion and placed a bowl of black liquid in front of him, with a nauseating stench wafting over.

The freshly brewed Magic Potion was jet black, emitting steaming heat, with bubbles bursting one after another, accompanied by miserable screams...

"Drink it. Drink this potion, and you’ll directly become a 4-star potion maker."

Saba said, "You are very lucky. The academy’s great competition is coming up, involving resource distribution. Your senior brother died recently, and no one from our Potion Department can participate. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be eligible to enjoy such precious items."

[However, this old man doesn’t have good intentions, adding some unpleasant things in it. If you ever show signs of betrayal, your internal organs will rot and melt. But it’s not a big problem, you can use the ’Abnormal Effect Clearing Spray’ to remove this effect.]

Zhou Yuan thought to himself, as expected, measures like this would be applied to a disciple picked up halfway to ensure peace of mind.

He moved his throat, resolved determination showing on his face, and drank the potion in one gulp.

As soon as it went down, a great deal of Magic Pharmacy knowledge appeared in his mind, formulas, production essentials, refining timing, critical moments... countless details became crystal clear, as if he had done it hundreds or thousands of times.

After a brief digestion, Zhou Yuan came to his senses, unable to hide his excitement, "Master, from now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I am willing to follow you for a lifetime!"
