My Five Masters Are Way Too Beautiful

Chapter 7: High-Quality Breakthrough Potion

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Just as Tommy was feeling regretful, Laylen changed the topic, “I have a way for you to break through to tier 3. This is tier 3 Breakthrough Potion. It is a high-concentration Breakthrough Potion that can increase your breakthrough rate by 40%.”

As Laylen flipped his palm, a tube of green liquid appeared. He opened the seal and a refreshing fragrance was emitted from the tube.

When the guards around smelled it, they were all shocked.

What a strong medicinal fragrance!

Tommy looked at the vial in Laylen’s hand, his eyes burning, and his breathing quickened, “Young mayor, is this really a Breakthrough Potion? For tier 3?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Laylen rolled his eyes.

With that, he threw the potion to Tommy, as if it was some trash instead of priceless treasure. The latter quickly grabbed it with both hands, carefully holding it in his palms.

 

“Many thanks, young mayor!” He was ecstatic, as though he had been injected with stimulants.

“Let me take a look.”

At the side, Liszt, who had not left, spoke up.

Tommy hurriedly handed the potion over.

Liszt’s expression was solemn. First, he carefully observed the color of the potion in the test tube. Then, he opened the seal and sniffed a few times.

After carefully comprehending it, he said in surprise, “It’s really an extremely high-quality tier 3 Breakthrough Potion. The purity of this potion is at least 80%, or even higher!”

“Although the potion itself is only a tier 3, to refine medicine of such purity requires one to be at least a tier 5 apothecary, right?”

Having said this, Liszt stared at Laylen with a burning gaze.

The process of an apothecary refining medicine, to put it bluntly, was to take its essence and remove its dross. Then, through the combination of different original medicinal liquids, all kinds of magical effects could be produced.

No matter how good an apothecary was, in the process of refining medicine, they would also cause the essence of the medicine itself to be damaged, causing the purity of the medicine to become lower.

For example, if he, Liszt, was a tier 3 apothecary refining a tier 3 Breakthrough Potion, then a pot of medicine he made could probably only produce two or three Breakthrough Potions, with purity of only about 30 to 40 percent.

But now, a bottle of Breakthrough Potion with more than 80 percent purity was placed in front of him.

This made his heart tremble.

The higher the purity, the more expensive the medicine would be. An ordinary Tier 3 Breakthrough Potion on the market was usually only of 30 to 40 percent purity while costing about 10,000 gold coins.

But if its purity was more than 80 percent, its price would double, which would make it cost 20,000 gold coins!

Because the quality of the medicine was directly related to whether the cultivator could successfully break through to the next realm, some cultivators who had cultivated to the peak of tier 2 would use the breakthrough potion to raise their tiers. Therefore, apothecaries were highly respected, with many of them also very rich. Basically, every apothecary was a nouveau riche.

Of course, except for Liszt.

For people like Liszt, friendship was more important than money. If he were to betray the mayor and surrender to Creed, a tier 3 apothecary was actually very popular in most families or other factions.

After confirming that this Breakthrough Potion was really good quality, Liszt threw it to Tommy and said, “Drink this potion. Accept the young mayor’s good intentions. You must break through to tier 4.”

Tommy said excitedly, “Apothecary Liszt, don’t worry. I will not let down the young mayor’s expectations of me!”

“Young mayor, I…”

Tommy looked at Laylen with his mouth open. He wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but for some reason, he felt that his throat was blocked. His nose became a little sore and he could not speak.

“Alright,” Laylen waved his hand and said, “It’s just tier 3 Breakthrough Potion. This isn’t worth much. There’s no need to thank me too much. You deserve it.”

The guards looked at Tommy with envy. To them, obtaining such a potion was much more useful than giving them gold coins.

What was the point of cultivating? Wasn’t it to become stronger?

“Don’t worry. You will all get some.”

Laylen’s words made the eyes of the surrounding guards shine.

He looked around and said calmly, “How many guards are there in the mayor’s residence? Call them all over.”

In just a short while, a group of people in silver armor had gathered on the field.

There were about 800 of them.

One of the guards stood out and said, “Young mayor, all the guards have arrived. There are 850 of them.”

“That’s all?”

Laylen frowned.

Vader City was located along the northern border of Borodin Kingdom. There were about 100,000 people in the city. The mayor’s mansion was the most important place in the city and there should be more than 3,000 guards defending the place. 850 was too few. 

Hearing Laylen’s words, everyone felt awkward. After their friends and brothers had learned that the balance of power was swinging towards Creed outside, they had all either left the mayor’s residence or chose to betray it. Some of them had been killed because they had gone out to gather information.

Laylen continued to ask, “How many guards are there at tiers 1 and 2?”

The captain of the guards glanced at the list in his hand and replied, “Young mayor, there are a total of 500 people at the peak of tier 1, 325 at the beginning of tier 2, 15 at the intermediate-stage of tier 2, and 10 at the peak of tier 2.”

After listening to the report, Laylen looked around and said in a clear voice, “When my old man was in critical condition, you are all still able to guard the mayor’s residence without deserting. Your loyalty is clear to all. A huge thanks to everyone for not leaving!”

“Everyone who stays will be treated as brothers.”

Some of the guards guarding the corner were puzzled. Could it be that the young mayor had gathered them here just to give his motivational speech?

Following this, Laylen waved his right hand and many bottles of potion flew out from his interspatial ring.

These bottles of potion landed on the ground and formed a small mountain. There were around a thousand bottles.

The guards who knew the value of the medicine could tell that there were some that could allow others to break through and some that could heal injuries.

The surrounding guards, including Liszt and Evelyn, were all stunned when they saw the medicine on the ground.

The young mayor had so many potions.

How much money was this worth?

Laylen ignored the dazed crowd and continued, “You can take the tier 3 and tier 2 Breakthrough Potions here. As long as you can break through before those people outside attack, I’ll give you as many potions as you want! If you’re injured, use the blood potion to treat yourselves. There’s no need to conserve any.”

“Right now, the low-level tier 2 guards will get the tier 2 Breakthrough Potions, the intermediate-level tier 3 guards will get the tier 3 Breakthrough Potions, and the injured ones will get blood potions. As for the rest of the potions, I’ll hand them over to Grandpa Liszt for safekeeping. If you need any, go look for him.”

“In the future, if you break through to tier 4, you can also come to me for tier 4 Breakthrough Potion! I’ll provide all potions below the extraordinary tier!”

As Laylen’s words fell, everyone was silent at first, and then they all fell into a frenzy.

Everyone looked at Laylen with a fanatical look.

Laylen had given them something beyond incredible!
