In the end, Abel took away 8 potion formulas from these racks. They were the ‘qi increasing potion’, ‘body strengthening potion’, ‘bruise clearing potion’, ‘poison clearing potion’, ‘bone cleaning potion’, ‘windproof potion’, ‘hundred turn potion’, and ‘solidify blue potion’.
‘Qi increasing potion’ was more direct than doing combat qi training for a human knight. They just needed to drink some before each knight breathing session, and they would be able to get an increase in combat qi.
‘Body strengthening potion’ could strengthen the body of the user. If a knight drank some alongside the ‘qi increasing potion,’ they would be able to have a stronger body to sustain their combat qi capacity.
‘Bruise clearing potion’ was self-explanatory. It would be useful during knight training.
Also, all potions other than the master’s one had side effects. Therefore the best way to deal with those side effects and everyday injuries was with another potion.
‘Poison clearing potion’ could clear most of the damage of a poison a while after it was injected. But of course, the power of the poison and the potion plays a big part in the result.
‘Bone cleaning potion’ could strengthen the skeleton of a warrior or knight. Skeleton was the foundation of a fighter. With a stronger skeleton, one could counteract more powerful attacks and unleash more powerful strikes.
‘Windproof potion’ could temporarily increase speed. They were unique to the elves. It was essentially ‘speed exploding potion’ but more effective.
‘Hundred turn potion’ was a type of strong bone healing potion used for fractures. They were also amazing for assisting knights, and warriors’ training since damage to bones was extremely common. They could heal an injury that would normally take 100 days in just 10 days.
‘Solidify blue potion’ was normally used in Druids’ training, but after Abel had looked at the formula, he realized it might be useful for wizards as well.
These 8 potion formulas were all he got. All the other ones were either impossible to create due to the lack of ingredients or not as powerful.
“Master Alfred, thank you so much for your help!” Abel happily memorized the 8 potions and bowed.
“Master Bennett, I need to thank you too!” Master Alfred said with a smile. Seeing Abel had gotten the potion formulas he wanted, Master Alfred added, “Since your business is sorted, I’ll be on my way now!”
Ever since Master Alfred got the special effect hunger potion, he couldn’t wait to go back to his alchemy room and continue his research.
Seeing Master Alfred turned and left, Abel couldn’t help but smiled. Master Alfred had so much passion for alchemy. Maybe this passion was what led him to becoming a master alchemist by honor.
Abel was different. To him, alchemy was just a way for him to get more potions.
With his Horadric cube, the potions he made were far superior to the potions from normal alchemists. Sometimes it might also have special effects.
Abel walked towards the entrance of the library and glanced at Master Peter. Master Peter still minded his own business, so he did not disturb him. He only respectfully did a bow and left the library.
Afterward, Abel arrived at the alchemy union hall. They found the potion ingredient counter and handed over a list of more than a few hundred ingredients. Due to this big number, the alchemy union needed some time to prepare. Abel could only come back in a few days to get it.
He then left the alchemy union and waved a horse carriage over. He jumped on and said, “Lamb road!”
The carriage moved forward. After a few turns, Abel arrived at a familiar street. His duchy also had a street like this. When he saw the white building, he knew he was back at his home within the elves.
He took out a gold coin and handed it to the coachman. No need for exchange, the extra was the tip. The coachman looked at Abel with eyes of gratitude as Abel walked off.
Steward Brewer saw the carriage arriving, and a familiar silhouette emerged from it. He quickly stepped up and bowed with excitement. “Master, welcome back!”
“Brewer, how’s everything going?” Abel said with a laugh.
“Everything is great. I made the decision to hire Archie’s little brother Kurt as a coachman without your consent. Please forgive me!” Steward Brewer bowed.
Archie was Abel’s past coachman. He had died protecting Abel, so Abel had promised to treat his family well.
“Brewer, you did a good job!” Abel nodded.
Abel stepped into the mansion. It looked like nothing had changed since he left. From the garden and fountain by the gate to the decorations within the mansions, it was exactly the same. It was fresh as always. Steward Brewer had maintained the mansion very well, Abel was very happy.
“Brewer, with your organizing skills, taking care of a little mansion, is a waste of your potential!” Abel said by a side.
“Master, please don’t let me go!’ Steward Brewer quickly bowed and begged.
Although Abel was just a normal status elven lord, he was also a Master Alchemist. He had the respect of all elves in Angstrom City. Especially the female elves; they basically worshipped him.
As Abel’s steward, Brewer had also gotten the respect of elves in Angstrom City. He had basically become the highest status steward in Angstrom City other than the grand-ducal palace steward Derek.
“Brewer, why would I want you to go. You’ll understand in a few days!” Abel said with a laugh.
“Master, I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare your dinner now!” A smile emerged on Steward Brewer’s face again as he bowed.
The kitchen knew Abel’s taste. The dinner was a mixture of meat and fruit. Although he had already drunk the hunger potion, he still ate a little.
After dinner, Abel was getting ready to rest. Suddenly, steward Brewer found him. “Master, steward Derek is here to see you!”
“Invite him in!” Abel’s invitation date was the following day. He came here a day early to take care of his own business, but somehow the grand-ducal palace still found out about it. No surprise. The grand-ducal palace controlled the entire Angstrom City. Nothing could escape them.
“Master Bennett, my master invites you to the grand-ducal palace tomorrow at noon to join the lord granting ceremony!” Steward Derek said with a bow.
“I will be on time tomorrow. Help me say hi to Grand Duke Edwina, Duke Albert, and Lady Carrie as well!” Abel said with a smile.
“Master Bennett, Lady Carrie wants me to tell you something. She wants to buy some beauty potion from you!” Steward Derek added.
“Why does she want another beauty potion. Every elf could only use it once in a lifetime!’ Abel said, confused.
Abel didn’t care much about the beauty potion himself, but its effect was way too powerful. It could almost turn an old elf back into the appearance of his or her prime. Elves were known for their endless desire for beauty, so beauty potions were priceless treasures.
Abe didn’t want the entire elf race to know about these beauty potions. Although Abel had grown some beauty grass in the dark world, an essential ingredient for the beauty potion, he did not have many of them, and he could not mass produce it.
Therefore he didn’t want to sell those beauty potions. He wanted to tightly regulate it.
“Master Bennett, Duke Albert’s birthday is in a few days. Maybe you are not aware, but Duke Albert also cares about his appearance a lot!” Steward Derek looked around and lowered his voice.
“Steward Derek, please help me thank Lady Carrie for her news. I will personally give the beauty potion to Duke Albert!” Abel said with a smile.
Since Abel knew about this as well as Duke Albert’s preference, a great gift giving opportunity was right in front of him. Of course, he would save it for himself.
