Chapter 9

"Let's go." After finishing everything, Lin Yun put away the three glass bottles filled with the potion and turned to leave the alchemy laboratory.

"Oh, okay!" Raymond, who was pondering how to discard his dignity, quickly nodded in agreement upon hearing the order. However, just before leaving, he suddenly remembered that if he hadn't seen wrong, the young Master Merlin had just thrown the test tube containing the crimson coral solution into the incinerator...

Although it had already been confirmed that the high-temperature flame stone would not cause the crimson coral solution to lose control, the deeply ingrained notion still made Raymond hesitate: "That crimson coral solution..."

"Rest assured, there's no problem." Before Raymond could finish his question, Lin Yun gave a definitive answer. Lin Yun knew what Raymond was going to ask—whether the residual crimson coral solution in the incinerator would lose control.

Of course, it wouldn't lose control...

Before long, alchemists would discover that the crimson coral solution does indeed lose control when exposed to high temperatures and vibrations, but this loss of control is not unsolvable. A small handful of moonlight sand plus a short incantation can easily resolve this issue.

At that time, this discovery would change the direction of the entire field of alchemy, leading to the emergence of a large number of new technologies. Countless alchemists would devote themselves to the study of the crimson coral solution, using its vast magical power to create numerous astonishing achievements.

Among these achievements are the three bottles of multicolor potion in Lin Yun's pocket.

That's right, it's a multicolor potion, not a polychromatic potion. Of course, Raymond's judgment wasn't entirely wrong. The smell and magical fluctuations of the multicolor potion are indeed identical to those of the polychromatic potion, and even the effects are not much different.

Note, however, that they are not exactly the same.

The characteristics of the crimson coral solution determine that the effects of these two potions cannot be exactly the same. After all, the only use of the polychromatic potion is to purify the magic vortex, which does not require the dangerous and vast magical power of the crimson coral solution.

This magical power is only needed by the multicolor potion, as it can not only purify the magic vortex but also enhance it. After being bathed in the light of moonlight sand, the magical power of the crimson coral solution becomes extremely stable. After being processed by seven-leaf grass and thousand-knot flowers, this magical power begins to be directly absorbable by mages.

Although this absorption is still somewhat勉强 (勉强 means "勉强" in Chinese, which can be translated as "勉强" in English, but in this context, it means "difficult" or "strained"), requiring a large amount of time to complete, the value it produces is something even the most mediocre mage can understand. What do mages desire most? Undoubtedly, it is the strength of their magic vortex. As long as they have a sufficiently powerful magic vortex, mages are almost omnipotent.

And the multicolor potion provides this possibility for mages.

Although its effect in purifying the magic vortex is not as effective as the polychromatic potion, the irreplaceable effect of enhancing the magic vortex means that the value of the multicolor potion is still above that of the polychromatic potion.

This is especially true for mages who have not yet reached the ninth level. Their need to purify the magic vortex is not particularly urgent, but they are especially eager to enhance their magic vortex. They are the true customers of the multicolor potion, and the number of such people far exceeds the number of ninth-level mages who are about to break through.

"By the way, Raymond, do me a favor."

"Ah, another favor?" Raymond was instantly stunned and asked subconsciously, but immediately realized it was wrong. This is a twenty-year-old potion alchemist who can trample on his dignity at any time, someone he cannot afford to offend. So Raymond quickly put on a smile: "Just tell me what to do."

For the first time, he used respectful language, but Lin Yun didn't care. He just took out the three bottles of multicolor potion from his pocket: "Help me deliver these three bottles to three places. Take this one to the auction house on Triumph Street and tell them I need it to be sold within three days. Let them decide the price. Take this one to the Mage Guild and tell them I need a library pass with the highest authority. As for the last one... you decide what to do with it."

"Okay, the auction house, the Mage Guild, and... I decide?"

"Yes, 'you decide' means you can choose to drink it or give it to someone else, as you see fit."

"Ah..." Raymond's hand holding the multicolor potion trembled, almost dropping the three valuable alchemy potions to the ground.

"This is called a multicolor potion. Besides purifying the magic vortex, it can also enhance it. I think you are currently at the fifth level of a mage, so drinking it should be beneficial."

"Is... is this too precious?" Raymond never expected that the last bottle of the alchemy potion would be given to him. Although it wasn't the polychromatic potion he imagined, just hearing its effects made it clear that the multicolor potion was a rare treasure. Purifying the magic vortex and enhancing it, either effect is something mages dream of, and now both effects are combined...

For Raymond, who had just been thinking about how to discard his dignity to be trampled on, this change was really too great. He thought that attacking a future great alchemist would result in severe consequences, and he was already considering how to make amends.

But just as he left the Gilded Rose, a big pie fell from the sky, leaving Raymond dazed and confused, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, go and do it quickly." Giving away a bottle of multicolor potion was nothing to Lin Yun, so he didn't even think about it.

Only in this era is the multicolor potion considered precious, as the technology to process the crimson coral solution has not yet been developed. But for Lin Yun, this technology has no secrets. With the abundance of crimson coral in this era, Lin Yun could easily make dozens of bottles of multicolor potion if he wanted to. Giving away a bottle was just a habitual way of paying a reward.

Raymond helped with the magical treatment, so giving him a bottle of multicolor potion as a reward was that simple.

As for what Raymond was thinking, Lin Yun really didn't have the time to care...

He had just witnessed the destruction of the world and then mysteriously occupied a stranger's body. Such an intense and thrilling experience left him still in shock, with no time to care about what others were thinking.

Raymond's efficiency was quite good. By noon on the third day, he was already knocking on the door of the Merlin family. After explaining to his father why he had been absent for two days, he went upstairs to Lin Yun's room.

"This is the 30,000 gold coins from the auction of the multicolor potion." Raymond handed over a crystal card, his face showing a hint of regret: "Unfortunately, the time was too tight. The auction house didn't have time to promote it, so they only notified the mages in Thousand Sails City. In the end, an eighth-level mage bought it. Even the auction house people said that if they had a few more days, they could have made the price reach 50,000 gold coins."

"30,000 gold coins is enough." Lin Yun shook his head. Whether it was 30,000 or 50,000 gold coins, it didn't matter much to Lin Yun. Yes, Lin Yun did need money, but a few thousand gold coins were too little. What Lin Yun wanted to do couldn't be accomplished with just a few thousand or even tens of thousands of gold coins.

30,000 gold coins were enough to cover daily expenses. For the current Lin Yun, the most important thing was to quickly understand this world. After all, Mafa Merlin was just a magic apprentice, and his memories were limited to that level. Higher levels were beyond his understanding, and understanding the world through his memories was always limited.

Therefore, Lin Yun was more concerned about the second bottle of multicolor potion.

"What did the Mage Guild say?"

"Oh, the Mage Guild..." Raymond was still regretting the lost 20,000 gold coins. Hearing Lin Yun's question, he remembered to take out the second crystal card from his pocket: "The Mage Guild was very smooth. I found a senior brother who works there, and they agreed as soon as I mentioned it. However, they proposed that they hope you can meet them when you have the time."

"There will be an opportunity." Lin Yun put away the two crystal cards and did not show any obvious rejection to the Mage Guild's invitation.

This was normal. Since he wanted to enter the library of the Mage Guild, he had to interact with them. It was better to meet them openly and see what they wanted to discuss.

"Great, I'll go and tell my senior brother."

"Wait a moment, I still need your help with something."

Again... another favor? Raymond's mouth almost dropped open. Over the past two days, he had run to the auction house and the Mage Guild with the multicolor potion, and he knew its true value. The auction house had even involved the chief alchemy potion master to personally appraise it, and the Mage Guild had involved one of the legendary three giants, a rare sight. Now, a small fifth-level mage like him was personally received for a bottle of multicolor potion, all because of the multicolor potion's immense prestige...

He had a bottle of such a precious alchemy potion, and the reason he got it was just because he did some magical treatment for a few glass bottles.

Now, hearing that he needed to help again, Raymond was more than willing, hoping to help as much as possible.
