Chapter 102: Ferocious Medicinal Effect! Tier 3 Body Tempering Potion!
Leo raised his head and tried to pour the remaining potion from the flask into his palm.
However, in the end, he only managed to pour out three drops of potion onto his fingertips.
Leo quickly undid his shirt and dabbed one drop onto the center of his chest.
The moment that drop of golden potion touched Leo’s skin, it was instantly absorbed by his body.
Leo felt a blazing stream of heat, like a vortex, spreading outward from his chest.
At the same time, he began circulating his Breathing Technique.
Over the past two days, Leo had devoted himself entirely to potion-making.
He had ignored everything else.
Now that he was circulating his Breathing Technique again, after two days of rest, Leo felt the Gray Aura within his body surge rapidly.
Ever since Leo had learned the Breathing Technique, he had not missed a single day of training.
Now, after suddenly resting for two days, he instead felt that when circulating his breathing, the Gray Aura was fuller and more abundant.
In the next moment, Leo felt waves upon waves of energy surging wildly from outside into his body.
“What ferocious medicinal power!”
Just a single drop of a Tier 3 potion had an effect comparable to more than half a bottle of a Tier 2 Body Tempering Potion.
Leo felt as though the Gray Aura within him was constantly being replenished. He tried to coordinate with his breathing to control the newly generated Gray Aura.
About half an hour passed.
By this time, Leo was already drenched in sweat. Only then did the medicinal effect of that drop of Tier 3 Body Tempering Potion completely dissipate.
He looked at the panel.
【Furnace Breathing Technique 74/100 → 78/100】
In just a little over an hour, the experience of the Breathing Technique had increased by four points.
This was the strength of a Tier 3 potion!
Such a terrifying leveling speed!
Leo felt like an athlete who had taken a powerful stimulant.
With this kind of medicinal effect, if he could obtain an entire bottle of Tier 3 Body Tempering Potion—
Then wouldn’t he be able to quickly complete the first stage of Gray Aura Tempering?
And step into the Low-tier Knight realm.
Leo marveled at the potency of high-tier potions.
However, at this moment, he quickly felt his stomach rumbling loudly—a signal that his body was depleted.
Under the catalysis of the Tier 3 Body Tempering Potion, if he wanted to maintain such high-intensity Breathing Technique training—
Then he would need to consume far more energy than usual.
Either he had to eat large amounts of low-tier Beastkin meat, or he needed high-tier Beastkin meat.
Fortunately, Leo had just purchased a type of Tier 3 Beastkin meat called Satyr.
Taking out a handful of dried Satyr meat from his robe, Leo chewed it carefully.
At the same time, he began tidying up the Alchemy equipment in front of him.
First, he used distilled water to thoroughly rinse the flask that had contained the Tier 3 Body Tempering Potion.
Although only a tiny amount of the Tier 3 potion remained clinging to the inner walls, it still could not be wasted.
He poured the rinsing water into his own sealed bottle.
Then Leo began cleaning the other flasks, measuring cups, and various instruments.
At this moment, there were at least seventy to eighty containers on the workbench.
Many of them still contained some leftover solutions.
Although the quantities were small, many of them were prepared from extremely valuable medicinal materials.
Leo estimated that if he had to purchase these materials himself, it would cost at least dozens of silver coins.
But for Lady Manta, she had already successfully produced a Tier 3 Body Tempering Potion.
These scraps and leftovers were beneath her notice.
Moreover, before leaving, she had clearly instructed Leo to clean all these instruments.
In reality, it meant that she was leaving these valuable solutions to Leo.
This was undoubtedly a major benefit of being an assistant to a Tier 3 Alchemist.
Leo carefully sorted these solutions into categories.
He quickly returned to his home, retrieved sealed bottles, and stored all these treasures one by one, labeling them properly.
Then Leo began cleaning Lady Manta’s Alchemy equipment.
After finishing all this, Leo carried a bundle, silently lifted Green onto his back, and prepared to carry him home.
The moonlight was vast and pale, casting a layer of frost-like glow over Blackstone City.
However, Leo carried Green and quickly passed through the night streets of the town.
With his current physical ability, the entire journey took only a little over ten minutes.
Arriving at the entrance of a large residence—
A voice suddenly came from behind him. “You can put me down.”
Green had already opened his eyes. He jumped down from Leo’s back. “Thank you.”
“Senior, you are too polite.”
Leo knew that Green had already awakened when Lady Manta had just finished making the potion.
It was just that in that situation, Green didn’t know how to face Lady Manta, so he simply pretended to remain unconscious.
Leo didn’t know whether Lady Manta had noticed.
But with his keen perception, this small trick had long been seen through by Leo—he simply chose not to expose it.
Green gave an awkward smile. “You probably noticed long ago, didn’t you?”
He knew that Leo had avoided people along the way, deliberately bypassing the busiest areas, so that he wouldn’t be seen.
“Mm. Carrying someone unconscious feels different from carrying someone conscious,” Leo casually made up an excuse.
Green nodded. “Then just consider it my cowardice.”
In truth, Leo knew—not only did he not want to expose Green, but Lady Manta had the same thought.
As an Alchemist, waking up someone who had fainted would have been extremely easy.
However, in that situation, even if Green had awakened, in his current state, he would not have been able to assist in the subsequent work.
Green patted Leo on the shoulder, then silently walked into his residence.
The wooden door slowly closed, and from inside came Green’s blessing.
“Young man, keep it up!”
Leo felt that although he had met Green several times before, this was the first time they had actually spoken.
Previously, this Tier 1 Alchemist had treated him as if he were invisible.
But from today onward, his position under Lady Manta had been completely replaced by Leo.
However, for Green, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
With his aptitude, becoming a Tier 1 Alchemist was already his limit.
Lady Manta’s level was continuously improving, while his own talent and aptitude could no longer support him in continuing as her assistant.
Leo’s appearance was instead a form of relief for him.
He could now peacefully continue fulfilling the duties of a Tier 1 Alchemist.
For an ordinary man who came from a veterinarian background, this was already a very good outcome.
As for Leo—his journey as an Alchemist had only just begun.
……
Late at night, in the quiet stillness—
Lady Manta mysteriously pulled Laforin into a room.
During the day, there were too many people around, and Victor had been present, so she hadn’t mentioned the matter of the Tier 3 potion.
“What did you say?!” At this moment, upon seeing the golden potion in Lady Manta’s hand, Laforin revealed a rare expression of excitement.
He had not expected that Lady Manta had truly succeeded.
“You need to quickly pass this information to the Alchemist Association of the kingdom.”
Laforin pondered for a moment. “The other knights have all been sent out by me to search for the Dragonblood Horse, and they will be leaving the city soon.
Then let Anthony handle this matter. He was just complaining earlier that I treat him like a useless person.”
Lady Manta nodded, then suddenly changed the topic. “Do you know? This time, we also owe a lot to Little Leo.”
“You mean Leo? You’re talking about his contribution in slaughtering Beastkin. That’s part of his duty.”
“What slaughtering Beastkin?” At this moment, Lady Manta had already wrapped her arms around Laforin’s neck. “This time in Alchemy, Leo served as my assistant and completed the auxiliary work.”
Laforin’s large hands slowly wrapped around Lady Manta’s waist. “He can even be your assistant? Didn’t you say only official Alchemists could be your assistants?”
“Yes, didn’t expect that, did you? Leo has already successfully made a Tier 1 potion in such a short time.”
“What?!” This was the second time Laforin had exclaimed in shock that night.
Although Laforin didn’t understand potion-making, he knew how precious a Tier 1 Alchemist was.
In all these years in Blackstone City, Lady Manta had only trained one—Green.
It seemed that the study of Alchemy required even greater talent and diligence than becoming a knight.
But Leo had already given him too many surprises.
Again and again.
Previously, he had already regarded Leo as the next knight seed of Blackstone City.
“Hmm? What do you think of Leo, this child?” Lady Manta stepped closer to Laforin.
Laforin naturally stepped back in response.
The first time they met was at a ball.
Back then, Laforin had conquered Lady Manta with his steady and powerful dancing.
Since then, whenever they had important private matters to discuss, they would tacitly begin to dance together.
This habit had continued for decades.
Their figures swayed slowly in the darkness. Laforin, smelling the faint medicinal fragrance on Lady Manta, gradually relaxed.
He slowly spoke, “A good child. Perhaps he will become a pillar of Blackstone City in the future.”
Lady Manta looked at Laforin, who failed to grasp the mood. “Fool, I mean—what do you think about Eve Sova and Leo, the two of them?”
