Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

46. ​​Basics of Potions

The materials from the Frostwolf King were more popular than expected and sold very quickly. This item alone cost over a hundred magic stones.

After making up for the loss of potions and alchemical items during the mission, the remaining reward was divided equally among the three of them, with each person receiving more than 90. Luna now had about 100 magic stones in her hand.

"This way, I'm relatively well-off recently."

Luna immediately took another elective course, [Basic Alchemy]. The last mission made her realize the importance of potions, which is also almost the most profitable skill.

After all, her operation is almost at the level of a genius who can learn it with just a little practice. She only needs to fill in the gaps in theoretical knowledge and she can get started quickly.

It is worth mentioning that Luna is currently studying the most introductory stage of both [Basic Alchemy] and [Basic Alchemy], which lasts for about two months.

In order to completely complete a subject in the apprenticeship stage, there are subsequent [Basic XX Course 2], [Basic XX Course 3]... Some have seven or eight sections, some have nearly ten sections, and it will take about a year to complete them.

Most apprentices knew they were not suitable after entering the school, so they gave up or changed their subjects. To continue their studies, the cost of magic stones alone was over a hundred, not to mention the cost of materials, drawings and formulas, etc.

Many apprentices, due to poverty or simply being unable to keep up with the courses, need five to ten years to complete the basic courses even if they have good talent.

Even if the apprentices have completed the basic courses, they only know the theory. It does not represent the actual level of refining and the success rate. Moreover, the apprentice stage of potions and alchemy is not profitable...

Many families do not deliberately train potion makers or alchemists, although these people have a very high status among wizards.

Luna didn't need to consider these things in actual practice. Once she was done in theory, she was done.

The troubles she faces now are in other areas.

"Ms. Luna, this bitter flower contains a slightly toxic ingredient. When extracting it, you must first soak it in boiling water, and then use the purification magic array..."

She had just finished a basic potions class, and this guy in front of her started talking nonstop in front of her.

He was a chubby boy who looked harmless, but the mental fluctuations emanating from his body were already quite close to those of high-level apprentices, and there was a clear gap between him and his fellow apprentices.

Dole and Shuter are two of the most outstanding apprentices in this class of family apprentices. The civilian apprentices started late and nothing can be seen for the time being.

He was talking to Luna non-stop, showing off his knowledge of potions. After a long while, he asked tentatively:

"If Miss Luna wants to further her studies in potions, a good environment is also necessary. My tutor has the best potion-making facilities among formal wizards, and several of my senior brothers and sisters are also famous potion apprentices..."

Luna felt tortured. This guy was being so attentive for no reason. Anyone could see his purpose. The key point was that his attitude seemed pretty good on the surface, so it was not good to offend him too much.

"You can also use my mentor's workshop. After all, I am just an apprentice practicing. There is no need to trouble Master Van Riemann."

"Is that so? That's a pity. But I know a lot of excellent Potions apprentices, and we can communicate more in the future."

There were also several apprentices behind Doller, many of whom were familiar faces.

A few days ago, Luna was still a "vase" with neither bloodline nor strength. She was basically ignored by the family apprentices and lived a peaceful life.

But recently, after breaking through to the intermediate apprentice level, she seemed to have become noticeable among these people again.

"Who knows if that wizard Enissa forced me to get promoted, maybe she used some dirty tricks. After all, it's said that wizard likes beautiful women, and I think she's pretty good at pleasing female wizards."

A small voice sounded, echoing in the vicinity at just the right volume. It seemed to use some kind of witchcraft technique, making it difficult to find the source.

"Who? Who is talking nonsense?"

The little fat boy Dole looked unhappy. He turned around and looked at the apprentices, but they all had confused expressions.

Luna could actually see through such a sinister little trick at a glance.

To be honest, she thought that Senna's direct provocation was cuter than this kind of sneaky trick.

"Can I assume that you are insulting a formal wizard by saying this?"

Luna's gaze was directed at an ordinary-looking female apprentice in the crowd, who was also one of the family's apprentices.

She was stared at by Luna, and suddenly panicked, and said in an excited tone:

"You, what are you talking about? That's not what I said just now! Do you have any evidence?!"

"I don't care whether there is evidence or not. But since someone is provoking me, I will not show mercy. Do you dare to fight me? Go to the apprentice training ground, right now."

"You...you crude commoner!"

"Since you are an apprentice of a noble family, you won't be afraid of me, a mid-level apprentice who has just been promoted, right? Or let my mentor come and see who is spreading rumors?"

Of course, Enissa couldn't come. But Luna's words successfully discouraged those who wanted to help the female apprentice. They didn't dare to take the risk of insulting a noble and formal wizard, even if they had a backer.

"Go ahead! Do you think I'm afraid of you? In the name of the Canniel family..."

"Alright, alright, I don't want to remember the loser's name."

Luna and the female apprentice went to the training ground surrounded by a group of family apprentices, and began her first battle against an enemy since arriving at the Ring of Darkness.

As for the results——

It ended pretty quickly, and there's not much to say about the process.

Luna's spellcasting speed and accuracy far exceeded those of ordinary apprentices. She first broke the opponent's shield defense with a fire bomb, and then used the "Invisible Hand" to lash out at the opponent before he could cast the next spell.

Seeing that the originally ordinary face of the female apprentice had become bruised and swollen like a pig's head, she couldn't help but sigh:

"I already felt like I couldn't get married, and now it's even more unbearable."

"It seems that my previous judgment of you was a little biased... Please forgive me for my previous offense."

Dole found Luna again, but this time she was no longer greasy, but exuded a gentlemanly demeanor:

"If you have any needs for potions in the future, you can tell me. The family behind me is also quite powerful."

"Is that so? Thank you very much then."

Luna was a little surprised, but she didn't intend to make friends with the other party just like that.

Dole didn't care at all, his chubby eyes narrowed slightly:

"I hope that at least we won't become enemies in the future. By the way, as far as I know, that guy Shuter is still mad at you."

47. Master and Disciple Talk

After that little conflict, no one bothered him anymore. Doller also changed his previous attentive style and just nodded every time he met someone.

Luna was able to concentrate on her basic Potions class.

About a month later, she refined the first potion in her life - a hemostatic potion.

This is a potion that only has the effect of stopping bleeding. The processing steps are quite simple, and there is no difference between it and normal herbs. It has low cost and low selling price, and is the first choice for potion apprentices to make for the first time.

Luna didn't spend too much energy on potions for the time being. Analyzing more witchcraft and practicing alchemy took up most of her time.

"You're progressing much faster than I expected."

The voice behind her made Luna stop what she was doing. A slender blue-haired girl wearing thin pajamas and fluffy slippers had quietly come to the nearby area without her noticing.

"Teacher Anessa, you are here."

Luna shut down the alchemy magic array, and the elemental fluctuations quickly extinguished. She reached out and placed a piece of the refined metal on the table beside her.

"Aren't you going to start making that alchemical puppet yet? I can give you some guidance."

Anisha's expressionless face suddenly revealed a faint nostalgic smile:

"I made that myself a long time ago when I was an apprentice. Although it is useless now, it helped me a lot when I was an apprentice."

Luna thought about it and took out a blueprint from her arms, but it was not the one that Anissa had given her before.

"I've already started the preliminary preparations, but I still have some questions, so I haven't really started yet..."

The blue-haired girl took it and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, then looked at her apprentice with some surprise:

"Are you improving the blueprint?"

"Yes, because I recently mastered the art of invisibility, and I got a broken alchemical item of invisibility, so I wanted to improve it."

Luna took out a piece of tattered black cloth and after injecting magic power into it, some fine alchemical runes lit up and their outlines gradually became blurred.

"Part of the additions come from the witchcraft template of 'Invisibility', and the other part comes from this alchemical item, but the runes are a little incomplete, and I'm still trying to restore them..."

"That's a good idea. Although it's not particularly novel, it's encouraging that you dare to try it as an apprentice. But it will also increase the difficulty of refining exponentially. Can you do it?"

"As for refining, I am somewhat confident."

Very confident, she was just being modest. Listening to the slow but firm words of the silver-haired girl in front of her, Enissa was a little dazed. When she became a formal wizard at a young age, she also had similar extreme confidence.

"Now that you've made the decision, don't give up easily. There are still a few problems with your new blueprint..."

After finishing today's instruction, Luna did not leave immediately. Enissa, who was in the image of a blue-haired girl, rested with Luna on the balcony on the second floor.

Beautiful alchemy puppet maids were on hand, and the coffee on the table exuded a faint aroma. Two girls with impeccable looks sat quietly, flipping through books, looking like a painting.

The silver-haired girl was like a quiet silver moon. Even when she was just sitting there, she exuded an aura that could not be ignored.

Anissa thought that her presence would arouse some kind of desire in her heart, but in fact, her mood seemed very peaceful at this time, and the impulse coming from her blood seemed to have inexplicably subsided a lot.

Instead, she felt lost and at a loss. Not long after, she quickly put down the witchcraft book in her hand, which she had not read a few words, and broke the silence:

"Luna, are you no longer afraid of me?"

"Eh? What does this mean?"

Anisha hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"You probably know a lot about the rumors about me. Although some of them are true and some are false, I still know that I am indeed a freak... You have been staying at my place longer than before."

The silver-haired girl also put down the book in her hand. She supported her chin with both hands and looked at Enissa seriously with her deep blue eyes:

"Teacher, you're not a bad person, are you?"

"It's hard to say. If I had met such a mentor when I was an apprentice, I would probably have been unable to sleep or eat for a long time."

"But from what I've seen recently, I think the instructor is still very good."

Luna smiled slightly, and when she saw that Enissa didn't say anything, she continued:

"I was a little scared at first, but you didn't restrict me much, nor did you force me to sign some harsh contracts. And the previous incident with the vampires, and the recent guidance on alchemy, I can still tell whether you are sincere or not."

She reached out and picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip:

"Isn't the instructor more disciplined than expected?"

Anisha was silent for a while and said softly:

"Are you really sure? I don't even have that kind of confidence myself."

boom!

Powerful pressure came from her body, and a large amount of dark elements gathered behind her and spread and rose, turning into a dark mist. A banshee's image vaguely appeared in it, with a face that changed constantly, sometimes charming and sometimes cold, and different faces appeared alternately.

Anessa herself also showed a crazy look, her eyes were extremely dark, and her gaze was like the materialization of greed and fanaticism. She stared at the silver-haired girl opposite her:

"Whenever I see a beautiful woman, I can't help but want to take everything about her for myself. This thought is like poison and can't be shaken off. It torments me day and night. Even if I'm bound by a contract, I never know when I might completely lose control."

She panted, and the raging elemental forces around her slowly calmed down. Her messy aqua-blue hair fell down, and the darkness in her eyes returned to normal.

"You'd better be careful."

Under the pressure from the real wizard, Luna's face turned pale. However, as she watched Anessa recover, she continued to speak firmly:

"At least the mentor has killed enemies so far, right?"

"That's because you haven't seen their miserable plight. Most of the official wizards I know can't accept it."

"Maybe......"

Luna looked at Enissa's lowered eyes and suddenly laughed. She said softly:

"Teacher, you are just like a lonely child. You said not to approach me, but you couldn't help but look expectant. And with your current appearance, isn't this very cute?"

"you......"
