Chapter 590: Tyrant’s Eye Potion and Rented Pharmacy!

In the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion, Locke spent 50,000 magic stones to access a large amount of rare alchemy information in the reading room of this shop.

The tables in the reading room, which has been completely soundproofed, are filled with documents.

These are precious alchemy materials, recipes, and books that are difficult for the outside world to access, but they can be purchased with magic stones in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion.

Moreover, he had the privilege of half price at the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion.

Besides, I am not short of money at the moment, so there is no need to save money in this regard.

It will be of great benefit to you if you can pass the fourth round of ladder test quickly.

According to the green dragon half-dragon, you can use the specified reward range to draw a material for yourself that is very beneficial for your advancement to the second ring.

I have witnessed the difficulty of advancing to the second ring. Even the great wizard Sura prepared for more than 50 years, but failed in the end.

Therefore, the more you do in advancing to the second ring, the better.

Even the Celtic team leader is now over a hundred years old, and he had accumulated a lot before becoming a second-ring wizard.

I had communicated with him privately before and asked him for some opinions on becoming a second-ring wizard. It was said that he only succeeded in establishing the ultimate magic after failing for the fifth time.

Yunze Wetland has a big advantage over the wizarding lands outside, which is that there are a large number of supporting facilities for simulating the creation of extremely large magic, and even these services can be purchased in major store alliances.

Therefore, wizards who cannot become second-ring wizards in the wizarding land outside have more hope of success here.

The Celtic team leader once told himself privately that he felt that if he were in other regions and his luck was not so good, he would probably not even be able to become a second-ring wizard.

The key point is that his entry into Golden Crown Mountain seems to be related to the [Tranquil Garden] that was disbanded during the Abyss War.

Thinking of the Abyss War, Locke looked at the Abyss Alchemy materials in his hand and frowned. In front of him was a top-secret atlas of Abyss creatures, which recorded all the one-ring forms and special abilities of the Eye Demon clan.

With the nourishment of these top-secret materials, his level of abyss pharmacy is improving rapidly.

Locke looked at the information and said, “The most powerful Eye Demon at the first ring is not the Eye Demon Elder, but the Tyrant Eye Demon. The Tyrant Eye Demon has a 360-degree full vision ability, and each pupil can release the mind magic of the School of Psychic.”

“It’s also the core ingredient for many Abyssal potions. Among the materials I exchanged for was a document on the Tyrant’s Eye potion.”

“Although there is no recipe…”

“After taking the Tyrant’s Eye Potion, it’s like being under the gaze of the Tyrant’s Eye. It can instantly increase your mental sensitivity and perception, allowing you to sense things you couldn’t before taking it.”

“Also, it can quickly increase my mental strength.” Locke was shocked. “I didn’t find a way to pass the fourth round of the ladder, but I did find a way to quickly increase my mental strength to 9999 from searching the data.”

“I’ll have to wait for more than half a month for the Soul Magical Weapon, but I can definitely try refining this potion once.”

Locke read the clear warning in the Eye of the Tyrant. “This formula has many adverse side effects. Wizards with weak constitutions are prohibited from taking it.”

“An ordinary wizard can only take it once a year. If they take it too much, they will be contaminated by the spirit of the Tyrant Eye Demon. When they close their eyes, they will be able to see the Tyrant Eye Demon’s hallucinations at all times. It is like being constantly watched by the Tyrant Eye Demon’s pupils. The side effects are very serious.”

Locke looked at this and shook his head slightly. “Never mind. My resistance to the Abyss is also exceptionally high, and I’m no ordinary wizard. Besides, potions that can increase the magic pressure of a wizard in the first ring crystallization stage are extremely rare and hard to find on the market.”

“It’s very rare. Even if such a drug existed, the side effects would probably be even worse than this.”

Even in Yunze Wetlands, wizards in the first crystallization stage are not uncommon.

He is already considered a relatively powerful wizard among the younger generation.

Locke had previously tried to buy a potion in the Dragon Blood Market Castle that could increase the magic power of a wizard in the crystallization stage by one ring.

It turns out that the effects are either weak, like the Dream Heart Potion.

There is almost no difference between having the medicine and not having it, so buying it is a waste of money.

Or it could be something like the Blue Gold Heart, which uses one’s own life essence to exchange for a magical potion that increases magic pressure. The side effects are so great that they are astonishing.

Compared with the sacrificial potion, it is like a small witch meeting a big witch.

If you drink this potion frequently, your soul may suddenly be shattered one day.

There is a potion on the market called the Sun Spring Potion. It can increase the growth rate of one’s mental strength by reducing one’s resistance to the fire element. One bottle only costs 100,000 magic stones.

If taken five times a month, it can increase the spiritual power of a wizard in the crystallization stage by one ring. I originally wanted to buy that kind of potion.

But now, I have a better choice.

For others, the side effects of the Tyrant’s Eye potion must be greater than those of the Fountain of the Burning Sun, or even the Heart of Blue Gold and the Heart of Dreams.

But this may not be the case for me.

Especially his eyes have an independent abyss energy circulation.

“Although from a financial perspective, learning how to make the Tyrant’s Eye Potion, improving it, reducing its side effects, and increasing its effectiveness might cost a bit more than directly purchasing the Sun Spring Potion.”

Locke said, “But developing this Abyssal Potion is itself improving my understanding of Abyssal Alchemy. It’s of great benefit to me, and I have a cheat code that can shorten the research process.”

“So, considering the cost-effectiveness, it would be better for me to research the Tyrant’s Eye Potion myself rather than buying the Sun Spring Potion.”

Locke made his judgment. “Also, while the Sun Spring Potion has relatively few side effects and is somewhat effective, even if I spent half a million a month, it’s absolutely impossible for me to reach 9999 Magic Pressure within six months.”

And more than a month later, the Abyss Ruins Exploration and Spell Combat Competition will begin.

I need a more powerful potion.

This kind of potion is basically impossible to find on the market. Even if it exists, it only appears in the private laboratories of bigwigs.

Then there is only one way to go – develop it yourself.

Locke walked out of the reading room and found the shop’s half-dragon green dragon owner. He asked, “I’d like to borrow your shop’s highest-level potion room, the first ring stage, for a long period of time. I remember they offer this service. The original price is 80,000 magic stones for one month, but I can get it for half the price, 40,000 magic stones.”

The green dragon half-dragon innkeeper saluted Locke. “Dear guest, it is indeed so.”

This service is mainly for those alchemists who want to develop potions but don’t want to invest millions of magic stones in equipment (or they may not have the money).

The investment in equipment for a first-level potion room ranges from hundreds of thousands for the most basic ones, which can only handle ordinary first-level potions, to millions required for a potion room of a first-level crystallization potion master.

Some devices cost one million each.

Therefore, Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion provides rental services.

For example, a top-level first-level potion room with the most complete set of equipment only costs 40,000 yuan in rent per month. You don’t have to take out a loan in advance, attract investment, or borrow money. You can rent a potion room worth more than 5 million magic stones.

Of course, in the long run, it is definitely more cost-effective to directly set up a potion room.

Otherwise, if you rent it for many years, it would basically be like setting up a potion room.

Just setting up a pharmacy requires money, people, and equipment, and it will take half a year to complete.

At this moment, Locke needs to start the pharmacy immediately and develop the Tyrant’s Eye potion to make his magic pressure reach 9999 as soon as possible.

You have to be lucky to get a spot in the Silent Holy Grail Plane Conquest Tournament that happens once every ten years.

So, he had to start immediately.

Besides, from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it would take at least ten years for the cost of renting a potion room in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion to be almost the same as the cost of purchasing a top-level potion room of his own.

It will take at least fifteen to twenty years before the cost of renting exceeds the cost of buying.

But the question was, could he really wait fifteen years?

If he was still a First Ring wizard after fifteen years, he might as well give up playing now.

As a person with a bright future, time is the most valuable thing.

Only things that can be bought with money are cheap.

Locke adjusted his mindset and realized that he had to invest magic stones in himself and buy things that could save him time.

Locke asked, “Besides that, can the Quetzalcoatl provide me with some potion masters for hire? At least first-ring level.”

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner said to Locke, “Dear customer, you want to rent a place and hire talents, right? Yes, as you said, Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion can rent you a top-notch first-ring potion room with complete internal equipment.”

“Some top-level equipment that is rarely used by first-ring alchemists, and second-ring equipment that is only needed by second-ring alchemists, can be rented here separately.”

“Regarding talent, unfortunately, Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion only trains and doesn’t hire. However, if you’d like, we can provide you with a list of potential potion masters and act as an intermediary to help you set up your own pharmacy.”

Locke nodded slightly.

He knew about the business of the Feathered Serpent Ancient Pavilion.

There are so many alchemists around the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. If they take action, they can easily create a complete talent market industry chain.

This industry chain will be very useful just to cultivate excellent potion makers.

If I go to other places, it will be difficult to obtain such a complete resume of first-ring potion masters.

The green dragon half-dragon shop owner said, “I can give you the customer information of our Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. However, for VIPs, we can’t pay them only half of their salary.”

“An ordinary first-level potion master earns about 10,000 magic stones a month.”

“A first-level potion master at the gasification stage earns around 30,000 a month, a first-level potion master at the liquefaction stage earns around 50,000. A first-level potion master at the crystallization stage earns around 100,000.”

“The average salary of a high-level potion master is higher than that of an ordinary wizard. The closer to the second-ring level of potion mastery, the harder it is to obtain. After all, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a wizard to become a second-ring wizard or even break through and advance using knowledge in the field of potion mastery.”

“Studying Potions part-time is itself an extra effort. Many wizards, after years of failing to make progress, may voluntarily give up Potions and focus on Botany or another subject to support their continued progress.”

“As you know, many wizards get stuck in the stage of crystallization from the first ring to the second ring for hundreds of years. During this process, they have to make many choices. Many wizards give up their identity as potions masters at this stage and focus on being just a wizard.”

The green dragon half-dragon said, “So, the price of hiring a potion wizard will be slightly higher. Also, they are usually part-time. If they were full-time, they wouldn’t be able to hire them with this much money.”

“If you work part-time, you can spend about six hours a day in your pharmacy. It could be at night or early in the morning. Anyway, it’s all squeezed out of your free time.”

Locke nodded slightly, understanding the situation.

Formal wizards are all pursuing teaching positions.

People can hire a formal wizard with 10,000 or 20,000 magic stones. The key point is the teaching position related to the White Wizard Association, not the actual small amount of money.

Many wizards even have to work three jobs at the same time for their own research in order to subsidize their own projects.

Even formal wizards, even second-ring wizards, can work themselves to death from exhaustion, or become sleepyheads from not sleeping for too long.

Anyway, it usually takes decades of not sleeping and the gradual accumulation of damage before you become a sleepyhead.

Locke was originally wondering why everyone knew that if you didn’t sleep for a long time, you would become a sleepyhead, but there were some people who couldn’t even sleep once or twice a month.

It was not until I arrived at Yunze Wetland that I understood what it meant to use one’s life to make progress in research.

Everyone knows that they are damaging their own health bar, but some wizards have been forced to lose their health bar in exchange for research funds and continued progress.

After all, there are only a few wizards who can earn a large amount of magic stones on the True Love Festival. More formal wizards either make money by working part-time or make a little money by improving small recipes.

wrong.

Locke suddenly thought of the gossip he had heard from the researchers in Group 6. There was an ordinary researcher among them who said that when he was improving a small recipe for wizard wine, the cost was higher than the profit, and he ended up losing money.

Most wizards lose money when they carry out improvements and research and development.

This is the norm in this world.

I am already an exception.

His student Williams has excellent innovative ability.

Another student of hers, Gregor, did not have her innovative ability and the related business skills.

Of course, there is also a very small group of people who have made money and have the ability to make money.

But while making money, you may be caught up by those with ulterior motives, such as gambling, fraud, venture capital, etc., which will instantly make you fall down the social ladder.

For example, Daniel.

Locke said to the green dragon half-dragon shop owner, “I understand. I want to hire three first-ring crystallization stage potion wizards. I mean, their level must also be at the first-ring crystallization stage, and it would be best if they have experience in refining first-ring crystallization potions. The Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion has an advantage in this regard. I think they should be very clear about the true level of each potion master.”

“I need at least three such wizards, and I need them to come to work soon.”

I want to become a capitalist too.

These people are probably official wizards in major wizard organizations, and there are very few individual wizards.

The wizards in Yunze Wetland either join the major wizard organizations, join the store alliance, or form their own wizard organizations.

Or they could join a wizarding institution like Jungle Hand, the Antiquities Foundation, or the Asylum for Rare Magical Creatures, or wizarding banks like the Big Five, etc…

Or maybe enter major sports leagues, major cross-wizarding clubs, etc…

The worst case scenario is to open your own shop, or have some personal freedom, such as the Troubadour Star Team.

The Mirari Ring wizard sisters are an example.

Their singing group has become a medium-sized wizarding organization, and some of its staff even have teaching positions recognized by the White Wizards Association.

There are also formal wizards who make a living by working for others, but this is not their normal routine. Otherwise, they might as well leave Yunze Wetland and go to other wizard lands to enjoy life.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

The green dragon half-dragon saluted Locke and said, “Then I will send you the compiled information this afternoon.”
