Chapter 6

After meeting with Norman, it was already quite late; the sun was already setting, and it was time to leave Libao Town and return to Bennett Castle. It would be unsafe to travel any later.

Norman saw the box in Abel's hand but said nothing. He was not concerned with what the young master had bought; his task was to ensure the young master's safety.

In fact, Abel had no choice. He had originally tried to put the box into the Horadric Cube, but the cube only recognized each potion as occupying one slot, and it could hold a maximum of 10 potions. The Town Portal Book also occupied two slots. With no other option, he had to carry the box in his hand.

The journey back was uneventful, and they safely returned to the castle. At this time, Knight Bennett and his elder brother Zak were practicing their riding skills. Abel had chosen to return at this time for a reason; apart from his elder brother, neither his father nor his mother would inquire about what he had bought. His parents strictly adhered to the rules of the nobility, respecting the privacy of each family member, including their secrets.

In this life, Abel felt a different kind of family affection. This affection was different from that of his parents on Earth, where their love for their children encompassed almost every aspect of their lives—studies, friendships, romantic relationships, and marriage. They believed that keeping secrets from parents was a sign of distrust.

In this life, his parents almost always listened to Abel's choices in every important decision, even if those choices could significantly change his life. For example, when Abel chose to become a knight, Knight Bennett was well aware of the difficulties a second son would face on the path of a knight, but he still supported Abel's choice. This was a different kind of love, and Abel cherished both kinds of love, feeling fortunate to have experienced such deep and different forms of love in his two lives.

Back in his room, Abel couldn't wait to open the box. He took out a bottle of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' and carefully examined it in the fading sunlight. The bottle of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' had white light arcs swirling around it, flickering on and off in the sunlight. Even without considering its other values, just the appearance of it would be priceless on Earth.

Abel couldn't help but sigh. Since seeing the "Town Portal Book" yesterday, he had started to think about his home on Earth more often, despite not having thought about it much for a year.

Shaking his head, he forced himself not to think about those things. The most important thing right now was his experiment. If it succeeded, he would be able to become stronger more quickly.

He took out three bottles of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' and placed them in the Horadric Cube, then nervously tapped the synthesis button. The three bottles of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' disappeared in a flash of white light, transforming into one bottle of 'Qi Condensation Potion.' This bottle was different from the初级 'Qi Condensation Potion'; the初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' had white light arcs swirling around it, but this bottle had blue light arcs.

It worked! Abel's heart raced. This must be the中级 'Qi Condensation Potion.' Although he had never seen a中级 'Qi Condensation Potion,' he was certain that the synthesis formula in the Horadric Cube would not be wrong.

He earned 20 gold coins, a strange thought that popped into his mind, making him laugh. By value, three bottles of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' were worth 30 gold coins (10 gold coins each), while one bottle of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' was worth 50 gold coins. So, he had indeed earned 20 gold coins. However, in this serious moment, the strange thought made him feel amused.

He put in another three bottles of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion.' At this moment, Abel felt like he had become a master alchemist, professionally configuring potions.

Despite his excitement and wandering thoughts, his hands did not stop. He continuously placed初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' into the Horadric Cube for synthesis, then placed the synthesized中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' on the table. Soon, 54 bottles of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' were synthesized into 18 bottles of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion.'

Seeing the full box of初级 'Qi Condensation Potion' transformed into 18 bottles of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' neatly arranged on the table, Abel felt extremely excited. Even if he didn't succeed in synthesizing a higher-level 'Qi Condensation Potion,' he now had a means to survive in this world. If he learned alchemy in the future, he could produce a large number of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' and become a respected alchemist, although becoming a knight was still his top choice.

He calmed down, picked up three bottles of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' from the table, and placed them in the Horadric Cube. After pressing the synthesis button, as expected, the three bottles of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' disappeared in a flash of white light, and one bottle of 'Qi Condensation Potion' appeared in the slot.

This bottle of 'Qi Condensation Potion' was surrounded by golden light arcs, making it appear incredibly noble. This was the高级 'Qi Condensation Potion.' It was said that only master alchemists could normally produce such potions, and while senior alchemists could also produce them, they did so only in moments of inspiration, just like master alchemists. Abel did not know the value of the高级 'Qi Condensation Potion,' but he knew that there were not many master alchemists in the duchy.

Next, the 18 bottles of中级 'Qi Condensation Potion' were synthesized into 6 bottles of高级 'Qi Condensation Potion.' At this point, Abel was confident that his idea was correct, and spending all his money on these potions was the right choice.

He placed another three bottles of高级 'Qi Condensation Potion' into the Horadric Cube and pressed the synthesis button. As before, the three bottles of高级 'Qi Condensation Potion' disappeared, and one bottle of 'Qi Condensation Potion' appeared, with dark golden light arcs swirling around it. This was the master-level 'Qi Condensation Potion.' Abel carefully picked up the bottle with his fingers. The liquid inside was no longer transparent like the初级,中级, and高级 'Qi Condensation Potion,' but rather a viscous, amber-colored liquid.

After another operation, Abel finally obtained two bottles of master-level 'Qi Condensation Potion,' a powerful potion without side effects, the ultimate potion for apprentice knights.

The question of how to use these two bottles of master-level 'Qi Condensation Potion' was now before Abel. He could not reveal the Horadric Cube, which was his most important survival tool in this world. He could slowly find opportunities to use the master-level 'Qi Condensation Potion,' prioritizing safety.

The more Abel understood about this world, the less secure he felt. On Earth, everything could be explained by science, but in this world, he could not explain the power of knights using Earth's science. Norman's injured leg, though not severe, would take 100 days to heal on Earth, but here, a low-level divine spell from a church priest easily healed it.

And what unexplainable things might exist in the large cities and capitals?
