Chapter 279 The truth about the promotion potion
Locke’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t expect this promotion potion to be so dangerous.
Locke said: "Lord Forbes, please tell me the function of this magic potion."
The old witch Forbes nodded. She slowly walked around the table, got down from a bookcase, found a magic painting, and then blew on the surface of the magic painting to blow away the dust on it.
h "This is the formula for the action rate of this potion."
h "Next, you must listen carefully to every word I say, as this will play a vital role in whether you can break through the official wizard."
Claudia Forbes unfolded the magic painting, and Locke saw that the magic painting was a drawing of a human body, with the human body's neural network, blood vessels, internal organs, etc. The production level of this magic painting was very high. It should not have been made by an apprentice, but by a formal wizard-level speed painter.
Locke could even see the way and scope of action of the sacrificial potion inside the human body after being drunk, as well as the structure of the effective potion ingredients, and the entire action process in his body.
Locke secretly wrote down the formula written on this magic painting, as well as the content on it.
Claudia Forbes said: "The true function of the sacrificial potion is to sacrifice a wizard's future potential in exchange for his current mental power, so it is called a sacrificial potion."
Locke frowned in confusion. "Sacrificing potential? Does it mean overdrafting one's future? What specific form does that take? Lord Forbes, I see that the main coefficient of this formula seems to be a number."
"This number doesn't seem to be large, around a few hundred. If I'm not wrong, does this coefficient refer to the...remaining lifespan of the wizard who took the potion?"
Claudia Forbes glanced at Locke in surprise, as if she didn't expect that Locke was so smart, and he guessed it just by looking at the magic painting.
She nodded. "Yes, a wizard who takes the sacrificial potion will overdraw part of his future potential, and the specific way is to overdraw his lifespan."
"So, the main coefficient of this potion action rate formula is the wizard's remaining lifespan." Forbes old witch said: "The more lifespan a wizard has left, the more potential he can overdraw every year in the future." If you ask, you are usually required to reach 800 mental strength before you are forty years old, otherwise the academy will not distribute sacrificial potions to you.”
"Especially in the final mental power stage of 950 to 1000, every time you increase one point of mental power, you need to consume a huge amount of potential. If the wizard does not have enough life left, he will directly burn his life and die, or be forced to give up midway."
Forbes Witch said: "The higher the qualifications of a wizard, the more energy he will gain by burning 1 year of life. The lower the qualifications, the wizard will gain slightly less energy by burning 1 year of life."
"So, usually a wizard who can reach 800 spiritual power before the age of 40 can more easily advance with just one or two bottles of sacrificial potions, which will be much safer."
Locke showed a look of sudden realization.
It turns out that sacrificial potion is this kind of thing.
Locke said in a low voice: "No wonder the White Wizard Association wants to restrict this kind of thing, sacrificing future potential in exchange for current mana. Moreover, the refining of this potion and the difficulty of obtaining materials are very low, which will lead to wizards unable to help but take this potion in exchange for their current spiritual power improvement before reaching 800 mental power."
"With more people, some geniuses, even super geniuses, can't help but use it in advance."
"Because bad money will eliminate good money. Watching others secretly use sacrificial potions, and their mana exceeds their own, thus acquiring a lot of magic resources, then this genius will also be unable to help but take sacrificial potions to gain strength in advance."
Locke said: "If this kind of magic potion is not properly restricted, it may indeed lead to the direct collapse of a wizarding world. Wizard apprentices are the foundation of the wizarding world. If wizard apprentices develop the habit of overdrawing their future potential... it will be equivalent to apprentices in the entire wizarding society overdrawing their future, and the wizarding world will lose its future."
Claudia Forbes nodded in agreement. "Locke Augustine, judging from your words, you are a good potion master."
"I have always believed that values determine the upper limit of a person's future achievements, while talent determines the lower limit of a person's future achievements."
Claudia Forbes looked at Locke with satisfaction and said: "You can quickly realize the dangers of advancing to potion. This shows that you are a very thoughtful potion master and you have the necessary qualities to obtain 'excellence'."
Locke suddenly thought of a serious problem. Even if his wizard talent was improved by the Blood Nightshade potion, it was currently only level 4.
Loke asked: "Lord Forbes, a wizard with a relatively low talent, can you get less mana by taking this sacrificial potion?"
"Yes." Witch Forbes said: "Of course, there is another kind. Possibly." Witch Forbes pointed at the magic painting and said, "Look at this part of the magic painting. The potential refers not only to the original talent of a genius, but also to his lifespan. Some of the potential refers to the potions hidden in your body and soul."
"You know, in fact, it is impossible for everyone to fully digest the effect of the potion, or even only part of it. Those potions you drank during the apprenticeship stage, the part that cannot be absorbed and has not been excreted, will accumulate in your body and soul over the years."
"And this part is also your potential!"
"Take the promotion potion. In an instant, this part of the potion effect will be burned and promote the progress of your mental power." Claudia Forbes said: "For example, the Tartarus Crypt Worm spinal fluid you used is a first-level material. To be honest, it is very wasteful for you apprentices to use it. Those medicinal effects should still remain in your body. Over time, part of it is completely wasted and excreted in your body, and part of it is still stored in your body."
"However, the main part of the potential still comes from your talent."
"This is just a small head." Claudia Forbes said: "Because, the resources a person can obtain during the apprenticeship stage are limited." Redeem these potentials and help them become official wizards. "
Claudia Forbes muttered: "The price-performance ratio is really too low. The families in the academy do not have resources of this scale at all. Only the wizard families in the Six Towers have such skill and habits."
"Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for individuals to obtain so many magic resources."
While she was speaking, Locke thought about the Beholder Lord Potion that he had been taking for half a year, as well as the magic potions that he usually used in large quantities, and the exaggerated amount of Tartarus Crypt Worm spinal fluid.
Most of the crypt worm spinal fluid in the dark wizard's large resource bank fell into his own hands!
Furthermore, the Beholder Lord potion that I have been taking for half a year has even obtained an independent and continuous abyss energy cycle. It is true that I have never fully digested the accumulation of so many potions in my body.
Loke looked up at the formula for the drug's action rate and began to do mental calculations. "Looking at it this way, the level 4 qualification is actually not too low, just average. 』
“In addition, I am only 19 years old, close to 20 years old. I am very young, and there are still a lot of potions and magic resources left in my body. The chance of success for me to use the sacrificial potion to become an official wizard is still very high. 』
That makes me feel relieved. 』
Before using the sacrificial potion, you can use another wave of magic resources. After all, I still have a deposit of 200,000 magic stones. 』
『The few projects on hand are also making money continuously. 』
