The azure blue spirit water kept bubbling in the pot, giving off large amounts of steam.
This was a phenomenon that had never appeared in potion concoction classes for Bai Yu before.
Spirit water is a type of neutral substance. Unless it was due to other medicinal ingredients, it would not evaporate or overboil.
“Could it be that the purity of the elements is not pure enough? Or is it because I used an iron pot?”
Bai Yu guessed to himself out loud.
Spirit water was like gold, there was a difference in purity.
The information about spirit water that Bai Yu had come into contact with were all from videos or books, so it was very difficult to distinguish the quality of spirit water.
After all, it was hard for one to get their hands on 100% purified spirit water.
Therefore, the current situation was somewhat unexpected, but Bai Yu could not do anything about it, so he tried his best to fiddle around with it to make things work out.
As expected, it seemed simple in theory, but not in practice.
What was written on paper would always feel different from carrying it out. He knew that he had to do it himself!
Now that the spiritual water had mixed in, Bai Yu had no way of turning back. He began to add various materials in sequence.
“Five grams of white-striped rock powder.
“Five grams? The scale of this test tube is a little off. It could be a different measurement.”
“Then I should use the crocodile tears to catalyze the rock powder.
“One, two, three drops.
“The medicinal properties of the withered bewilderment tree leaves are neutralized. That’s about it… I think.”
Bai Yu followed the steps and placed the ingredients into the pot step by step. Then, he stared at the changes in the pot without blinking.
The rock powder floated around, instantly swallowing the withered leaf.
Following that, chattering sounds filled the pot.
The azure blue and white colors merged into a ball, corroding and swallowing each other. inally, with a loud explosion, a ball of blue and white gas surged out.
There seemed to be countless mist flowing out of the pot. It was mixed with strange murmurs and whispers.
Bai Yu only heard a quiet whisper before he felt an oncoming splitting headache. He hurriedly threw a Purification onto his body, only then did he feel slightly relieved.
It was only a soft whisper and yet, it affected him this much.
Purification could only drive away all kinds of negative emotions brought about by the ravings.
Such as despair, grief, madness, and so on. However, it could not resist the damage to the mind and spirit caused by these ravings.
Bai Yu calmed his mood and took the opportunity to put the pale azure liquid in the pot into a glass bottle.
“I didn’t expect that refining this ordinary potion would actually cause ravings. I feel that my sanity value has dropped by a lot. Fortunately, I succeeded.” Bai Yu put away the reagent and looked at the iron pot that had changed color, feeling slightly helpless.
He had already used the qualification to borrow the potion room for this month. In addition, he was pressed for time. Otherwise, he would definitely not use the metal pot to refine the potion.
It was better to use professional equipment than this average pot.
Bai Yu weighed the bottle of potion in his hand that seemed to be emitting strange magic power. He really wanted to open it and taste it, but he gave up on the idea.
A bottle of potion like this would cost about 40,000 dollars.
Every drop used would be wasted money!
“This should be the fastest time I’ve ever completed the mission.”
After dealing with the iron pot, Bai Yu returned to the hotel and entered his Brainiac Space.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the elite mission. Completion rate is at 81%. A good evaluation! Practice more, find out the shortcomings, and learn from them in the future.]
[Reward: 300 potion knowledge points, special potion formula — Apprentice Praying Technique!]
“An Apprentice Praying Technique?”
Bai Yu quickly entered the Brainiac Space and looked at the potion formula in the drawer. His eyes changed to one of shock.
It seemed to be a professional and a limited-level potion formula!
Bai Yu took out the formula.
[Potion: Apprentice Praying Technique]
[Grade: Professional (limited)]
[Description: A fanatic who prayed for magic spells, thirsting for all kinds of strange knowledge, excavating the mysteries of the bloodline and the world. Each bottle is different, and each apprentice will possess different powers.]
[Recipe: Two liters of spiritual water, a tuft of an elven banshee’s hair, thirty grams of 100-year-old tombstone powder, one moonlight pearl, ten drops of a pure girl’s tears, two blooming platycodon flowers.]
[Formula: Wrap the Banshee’s hair around the two platycodon flowers. Then, put ten drops of tears on one of the stamens, and pearl on the other stamen. Irrigate with spiritual water and sprinkle tombstone powder over the materials. Heat the mixture to 90 degrees Celsius. Wait until the two flowers wither, take out the spiritual water and drink it.]
[Drinking Requirements: Level 1 in Mysticism, Level 1 in Extraordinary Biology, Level 1 in Psionic Science.]
[Remarks: The person who drinks it will become radiant!]
…
The preparation method and materials for the Apprentice Praying Technique potion were much more demanding than the Rock Posture.
The amount of spiritual water used was up to two liters. In other words, it was going to be a costly item to make.
He had never seen material like the hair of an elven banshee before.
There were very few elven banshees, and their hair was not a common magic potion material.
As for the other ingredients, they were not very difficult to gather, but just very strange to have in a potion.
Tombstone powder was already a very strange material to have. Plus, what did it mean by a girl’s tears?
How could he get this thing himself?
Moreover, the formula seemed pretty ambiguous. The term girl was a bit too broad. Some old ladies would introduce themselves as girls.
Since it meant a girl, it could not be more than 16 years old, right?
They should not be too young like a toddler either, right?
“Fifteen to sixteen should be about it, and what aspect does the definition of a pure girl refer to?”
Bai Yu fell into deep thought.
This potion was clearly one of those rare professional potions that was hard to craft. Although he did not know the potion formula for the subsequent advancement, Bai Yu did not want to give up.
Even a sequence 9 beyonder would have very strange powers.
Furthermore… would it be impossible to become a Warrior after becoming a Beyonder?
Would it be possible to use mechanical equipment?
Being a Beyonder, Warrior, and a mechanical equipment wielder would be the ultimate goal for him!
Who said that Mages could not use greatswords or wear armor?
With the support of this philosophy, even if Bai Yu could not make the potion today, he would think of another way to become a Beyonder one day.
The reason why extraordinary people were powerful was because they had the rarity and strangeness that the other two routes did not have.
In other words, mechanical equipment could be bought with money.
Although controlling the equipment required training of the body and willpower, this could be strengthened.
As for warriors, they would also have the opportunity to work hard to temper their body resiliency and cultivate the spirit-seeking techniques.
Only extraordinaries, other than drinking potions, would risk their lives to come into contact with the strange and gamble with their lives.
“First, let Qin Shou help me keep an eye on finding an elven banshee. The rest of the materials can be collected slowly. My current Extraordinary Biology level doesn’t meet the requirements. Even if I concoct it, it won’t be something that can be drunk in a day or two.”
Bai Yu looked at the subject tree screen in the elite scholar space.

Mysticism and Psionic Science had already reached the level, but Extraordinary Biology was still a zero.
So there was no way to make that potion right now. He could only wait until that reached Level 1 to reconsider making it..
