Chapter 367: Chapter 249 Abnormal Creature Research Department_1

"This is so troublesome..."

Mu You sighed, needing not only a specific time but also to climb a spiral staircase in repetition. It felt eerily like some secret, wicked ritual.

Jing Moniang lifted up her sign once again to tell him about some details to keep in mind: "The night of the full moon in the Star Spirit World is this Thursday night, but it is only during the time when the moonlight is the most concentrated, which is from 11 pm on Thursday to 1 am on Friday, when the Silent Beasts will leave to worship the moon on the rooftop. So, you only have two hours to act."

"Also, after entering the Silent Library, a Search Curse can only be used once. The Search Curse is a large curse; using it consecutively will lead to fluctuations in the magic at the scene. If used a second time, the fluctuating magic will definitely be detected by the Silent Beasts on the rooftop... Remember not to be greedy!"

As Jing Moniang wrote the words ’not to be greedy,’ she emphasized them in bold.

Mu You speculated if this was the taboo she had committed in the past, her excessive desire for knowledge led her to be greedy within the library, searching for multiple questions at once, ultimately causing her to be turned into a ghost by the Silent Beasts.

After answering the questions, Jing Moniang paid no more attention to Mu You and started reading a new book.

After receiving information about the library, Mu You didn’t rush to leave.

He spent a while in the bookstore, grabbed a copy of Harry Potter as soon as it was past midnight, and once again submitted it into the game.

"A new day begins, and Jing Moniang happily accepts your gift of a new book. She asks what other needs do you have?"

As per the usual three options, this time Mu You chose to get help with magic.

"You are currently studying three kinds of magic, which one are you looking to get coaching for?"

Between the three spells he had just learned during the day, Mu You chose the Silence Curse, which had the least progress and also seemed to be useful immediately.

"There is no surprise in your choice by Jing Moniang. You sit across the desk as she consistently demonstrates and disassembles the spell’s details with her Magic Wand. In the process of watching the demonstration, your progress begins to slowly increase."

"Studying the Silence Curse takes around 2 hours..."

Jing Moniang’s desk also seemed like a professional magic teaching platform.

Afterward, Mu You had no control over the game. Jing Moniang’s midnight tutoring lasted for two hours.

Mu You left the game running, completed some rounds, and then returned home to the core lock space, standing in front of the Magic Fireplace he started to concoct magic potions.

Now, after days of accumulation, he only had very few basic herbal magic potions left that Vivian had requested for. The remaining five are Mini Sobering Potion, Mini Healing Potion, Cleaning Potion, Hair Standing Potion, and Antidote Potion.

These five potions are not too complicated, especially since he had been mass-producing the Evolution Elixir recently. His potion refining level has actually surpassed many first-order Magic Potion Masters, he planned to complete all these today.

With all ingredients prepared, the Fool’s Boundary activated, and Mu You began a cycle of repeated practice.

The final process also went smoothly. Apart from the Cleaning Potion which was somewhat complicated and took 452 attempts, the other four took less than 300 attempts to achieve a streak of 100 times without mistakes.

With this, he formally met Vivian’s criteria for being a first-order Magic Potion Master.

As for how high his present level is considered within the Star Spirit World, it depends on the location.

If it’s within small countries or cities with not strict standards for Potion Masters, a success rate of over 70% for any tier potion would be recognized as that tier’s Potion Master. By this standard, Mu You now qualifies as a fourth-order Potion Master.

However, the standards of the Wizard Association are much stricter. For each order, one must successfully concoct at least five types of herbal magic medicine to earn the title of a Magic Potion Master of that order.

Someone like Mu You who only knew how to concoct a single type of fourth-order potion but had not learned a single second or third-order potion is not eligible for the second-order Potion Master examination, still considered as a first-order Potion Master. Though psychologically, others may recognize him to have the capabilities of a fourth-order Magic Potion Master.

Of course, situations of selectiveness like Mu You’s are rare because the leveling process of a Potion Master involves consuming materials, and fourth-tier potion ingredients are much more precious than those of lower tiers.

Typically, Potion Masters start from lower-level potions and only after they have practiced second and third-order potions to a proficient level would they dare to attempt the fourth-tier potion concoction.

No one could be like Mu You, who was supported by the Time Pocket Watch, ignoring the material cost and daringly skipping over lower-tier potions to directly increase proficiency in higher-level potions.

"Next is the second-order potion..."

Mu You flipped open Vivian’s potion recipe book and looked at the second-order potion’s catalog.

Second-order herbal potions were fewer in variety than first-order ones, only thirteen kinds. Most of these were average in effect and had many overlaps in function with first-tier potions, only they were upgraded versions.

Looking through the book, only two potions had unique effects: Truth Speaking Potion, Love Potion.

As the name suggests, Truth Speaking Potion is a potion that, when consumed, makes the person speak the truth. The specific effect is ’during the effect of the potion, the consumer cannot lie’.

But it could only guarantee that what the consumer says is truth, it could not force them to speak about something. Therefore, the real usage of this potion is to prove that what someone is saying is true, rather than to interrogate and steal secrets.
