"Haha, I just came to visit an old friend, do you have to react like that?"
Seeing Jouyi like this, Lin Yun couldn't help feeling suspicious . 'Does that man have some dirt on Jouyi? Why else would such a peak existence shed his integrity and don a smiling face?'
"Visiting an old friend?" Lin Yun guessed right . Jouyi's words caused a huge reaction from Osul . The latter angrily looked at him and roared, "You are saying that? How many magic materials have I lost to you in the past few years! Last time you came, it was a bottle of Dragon Transformation Potion! The time before that you took two Time Potions! And there was another one before thatā¦ Hey Jouyi, did you think this place was your private alchemy laboratory? Fuck off for me, don't you dare think of taking even one more potion from me!"
" . . . " When Lin Yun heard that, he couldn't help glancing at Jouyi awkwardly . That Star Sage's accomplishments could be said to be glorious . . .
Two Time Potions, those weren't something an ordinary Master Alchemist could compound, just like the Ghost Potion that Lin Yun had taken out at that time . As long as he could compound the Time Potion, that would be equivalent to having a foot at the peak of the Master Alchemist Realm, just below a step away from being an Artisan . In the entire Andlusa Kingdom, the Master Alchemists capable of compounding the Time Potion could be counted on one hand .
And this was only with regards to the technical aspect .
The Time Potion needed a total of five magic materials, four of which could easily be found in the alchemy market . However, the last one had already become extinct during the middle of the 3rd Dynasty .
That was the Frost Witch Tear .
It was rumored to be a mysterious fruit that only grew in lands of extreme coldness . And its growing cycle was extremely long . One Frost Witch Tear needed at least several hundred years to completely mature, and it also contained a fragment of the Ice Law . A few Extraordinary Realm sealing spells were needed to use the Frost Witch Tear as a magic material .
However, very few Frost Witch Tears were produced . Let alone in Noscent, even among the various planes, only the Black Horn chamber of commerce's Glacier Plane could produce a few Frost Witch Tears . Moreover, those Frost Witch Tears would already be used by the Black Horn chamber of commerce the moment they reached Noscent . Over the years, there had never been a Frost Witch Tear flowing into the market .
And Lin Yun had never heard any rumors of Time Potions being crafted . . .
He hadn't expected that he would actually hear of such a shocking piece of news in a wooden house in the Lullaby Forest . Star Sage Jouyi actually took three Time Potionsā¦ No wonder that man would be so vigilant towards Jouyi . This truly wasn't Osul being stingy, Lin Yun would have already unleashed the watchdog to see if he would still say such rubbish .
At this time, Lin Yun looked at Jouyi with a faint hint of admiration .
Unfortunately, Jouyi wasn't enjoying this admiration, he was now busy apologizing .
He actually spent a lot of effort before managing to pacify Osul .
"So, what did you come for this time?"
"Haha, nothing, nothing, I mainly came to ask if you would like to go to the Magic Hand gathering the day after tomorrow?"
"Do you have such good intentions?"
"Ermā¦" Jouyi looked at Osul guiltily while awkwardly fiddling with his thumbs . "I also need to ask, do you have a bottle of Shelter Potion?"
" . . . "
Let alone Osul, even Lin Yun felt that the morals of that Star Sage had truly reached the limits . The Shelter Potion was also a peak Master Realm potion . It was even more valuable than the Time Potion . One such bottle could be exchanged for a Spiritual Magic Tool, but that wasn't how Jouyi asked . . . He asked if he "had a bottle" while giving a frivolous feeling like he was asking if he had any cabbage .
"No, I don't have any!"
"Liar, I obviously smelled a Flame Flowerā¦"
"That was for compounding Heaven Awakening Potions!" Osul was getting emotional, nearly yelling at Jouyi .
But he hadn't expected that Jouyi's eyes would suddenly shine at his words . "Haha, I knew you had Heaven Awakening Potionsā¦"
Lin Yun almost laughed when he heard that .
No wonder that Star Sage acted like that after entering the wooden house . Turned out he was after the Heaven Awakening Potion . . .
This was actually quite normal . A Heaven Awakening Potion was the sign of an Artisan . A peak Archmage like Jouyi could fight for a day while using the power of a Heaven Mage after drinking it . Just this increase in power was enough to be regarded as gamebreaking .
Moreover, the impact it would have on Jouyi, who had already touched upon the limit to Heaven Rank, couldn't be estimated .
Using walking as an analogy . . .
The current Jouyi was walking on a path full on unknowns, and he didn't know how long that path was, nor what was at the end of the path, or even if he was walking on a side path or the main path . But after drinking that Heaven Awakening Potion and gaining the power of a Heaven Rank Mage, Jouyi would know where the path ended as well as how to get there in the most cost-efficient way .
It could be said that as long as he had a bottle of Heaven Awakening, the trouble to reach Heaven Rank would be lessened at least one or two times .
"Fuckā¦" Osul looked at Jouyi for a long time before cursing him .
At this time, how could Osul not understand that Jouyi had no interest in some Shelter Potion, rather, he was interested in the Heaven Awakening Potion that he had just compounded . 'That scoundrel must have known from the start . If he told me right away, I wouldn't have acknowledged it, so he went around it . '
'Fuck, I really need to get rid of that crookā¦'
"Osul, you aren't going to be like that, are youā¦" Jouyi was calm and collected now . He was smiling at Osul while not forgetting to add a few sentences . "When we found the Dusk Fire, I didn't even frown as I gave it to you . The only requirement was that I could get a few alchemy potions from you from time to time . I truly didn't expect you to be the kind of scum that would go back on his words after being helpedā¦ The Dusk Fire let you reach Artisan level from previously being a Master Alchemist, yet you don't even want to part with a few bottles of Heaven Awakening Potionā¦"
"A few bottles!" Osul looked as if his tail had been stepped on . He almost jumped up as he said, "Don't even speak of a few bottles, I don't even have one bottle!"
"You said there were someā¦"
While the two old men were arguing, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on Lin Yun's face .
He had finally recalled who that Osul was .
He was the renowned Saint Osul . One of the few in the Planar Colonization Era of Noscent's history that were titled as Saint Alchemists .
It was said that this Saint Osul had compounded countless potions during his time and was considered Noscent's most prolific potion crafter in Noscent history . Many people said that it was because Saint Osul had a True Spirit Magic Tool in his hands, the Dusk Fire .
The Dusk Fire was a True Spirit Magic Tool tailor-made for alchemists . It didn't carry a lot of power by itself, but the Magic Tool Incarnation was a spirit that could produce magic flames, and it was innately an expert at operating all sorts of magic flames . When used for compounding, it would make alchemist save half the work .
It could be said that the reason Osul could become famous as Saint Alchemist during the Plane Colonization era was mostly due to this True Spirit Magic Tool .
But the Dusk Fire's Incarnation shouldn't have awakened yet .
It was supposed to awaken three hundred years later, which is when Osul became a Saint Alchemist . In other words, Lin Yun could cooperate with this future Saint Alchemist so that they would get along!
This was a win-win situation in Lin Yun's eyes .
If everything went smoothly, Osul would be able to advance a few centuries earlier while Lin Yun would obtain a 2nd rich private plane .
Naturally, that was if Osul was willing to cooperate .
While Lin Yun was secretly plotting, Osul had already been cornered by the Star Sage . After saying "follow me" he turned back into his laboratory with the three people in tow .
"This is the Heaven Rank Potion you want!" Osul pointed at a beaker on a refining table, introducing it with a depressed tone .
"Ehā¦" Even though Jouyi's achievements in the field of alchemy weren't high, he still displayed an awkward expression after seeing that beaker .
The beaker was holding some golden liquid, sparkling like real gold . The Flame Flower's unique smell assaulted their noses as it slowly spread from the beaker . It was just like the description of the Heaven Awakening Potion in the book .
The only difference was that no mana fluctuations were released from the beaker .
The Heaven Awakening Potion was a potion used to rouse potential . It was composed of all kinds of magic materials, and each kind contained a shocking amount of magic power . There would be only one situation where it would end up turning into a substance devoid of mana fluctuations, which was if Osul failed to compound the Heaven Awakening Potion .
"How about you try and drink it?"
"Eh, no need to be so politeā¦" Although Jouyi longed to obtain the Heaven Awakening Potion, he still wouldn't have the guts to try a failed potion . If it turned out to be poisonous, wouldn't he have only himself to blame?
