Chapter 45 Shocking Eve's High-Level Potion

"This...this is..." Eve's pupils contracted slightly; as a potions master, she instantly saw through the trick.

Was he fusing multiple medicinal properties? At low temperatures? Using that powder as a neutralizing and guiding medium? This completely overturned her common knowledge of potion-making.

The entire fusion process lasted for nearly half an hour. Eve remained motionless behind the cabinet, and after the initial surprise, all that was left was embarrassment.

She missed her chance to go out, which has led to her current behavior being exactly like that of a wicked mentor who is spying on her students' research results.

She could only close her eyes, refusing to watch Li Ang's actions, and pray in her heart that she wouldn't be discovered.

Seeing that the potion was almost fully fused, Li Ang reheated the fused liquid and added the processed moonstone powder and white crystal powder in sequence to neutralize the poison and remove impurities.

With the addition of moonstone powder, traces of residual fire poison were separated and vaporized. The addition of white crystal powder caused impurities and dregs to quickly condense and settle, making the top layer of liquid instantly clearer.

Li Ang succeeded when he held in his hand the muscle-building potion that shimmered with an amber luster, emitted a rich aroma, and whose internal magic flowed slowly like a galaxy.

He felt a little unreal; he had actually succeeded on his first try?

The potion in his hand was still a little hot, a reminder to Li Ang that he wasn't dreaming.

Li Ang suppressed his elation, cleaned the crucible, put the potion into his pocket, and left the workshop.

Meanwhile, Eve, hiding behind the cabinet, could clearly sense the energy fluctuations of the potion even with her eyes closed.

"High...high-level potion?" Eve's mind almost stopped thinking, her rosy lips unconsciously opening slightly, big enough to fit a longan.

An apprentice? A level 0 apprentice who's only been here for a little over a month? Independently designed and successfully refined a brand new potion with unknown effects, but whose energy level is definitely high-grade?

Did they use a low-temperature fusion method she had never seen before, and a magical composite stabilizer?

How is that possible?

Was I still half asleep? Or was I reading some fantasy novel? Or perhaps... this child was actually a legendary wizard in disguise?

The immense shock left Eve completely stunned, her mind blank.

It wasn't until long after Li Ang left the workshop that Eve, as if all her strength had been drained, slowly slid from behind the cabinet and sat down on the carpet.

She leaned against the cold cabinet door, her beautiful face still displaying a complex expression of bewilderment and shock.

"What...did I see?" she murmured to herself, her voice as soft as a dream.

Li Ang took the bottle of muscle-building potion he had developed and returned to his dormitory.

He was leaning against the hard door, his eyes fixed on the small crystal bottle in his hand.

It was a success… at least judging from the refining process and the state of the finished product, the muscle-building potion should have been a success, but his hand holding the bottle hesitated slightly.

The effects of the drug are only the result of theoretical deduction. What is its actual efficacy? Are there any unforeseen side effects? Or even... could it be fatally toxic? All of this is still unknown.

The book "Basic Potions" solemnly warns at the outset that any new potion that has not been fully tested is no different from poison.

Typically, wizards use low-level monsters to conduct toxicity tests during the initial verification phase, and then hire volunteer wizard followers to test the potion during the efficacy verification phase.

This method requires a lot of time to verify the toxicity, but with the competition just days away, he doesn't have the time or the number of potions to slowly experiment with on monsters.

He could only skip the first phase and go directly to the second phase of human efficacy trials.

In an instant, countless faces flashed before Li Ang's eyes—faces of people who chose to stay and serve as servants for that faint hope.

Finally, he shook his head, banishing the thought. Then there was only one way left: to try it himself.

The risks of self-testing drugs are obvious.

If the medicine contains unknown toxins or causes uncontrollable energy distortions, he will die instantly or suffer a fate worse than death.

In this secluded dormitory, his cold, twisted body might not be discovered until Lottie came to clean the room the next day.

Therefore, if we are to try it, we must try it in a place where we can get timely rescue.

Within the entire faction, there is only one place that best fits this condition right now, and that is in front of Mentor Eve.

His mentor, who had lived for at least a hundred years, was not only a level 4 wizard but also a top potion master. With her supervising, even if something went wrong with the potion, the chances of survival would be greatly increased.

After making up his mind, Li Ang carefully put the medicine into his pocket, pushed open the door, and strode towards the cafeteria.

Despite not having much of an appetite, he forced himself to eat a premium chicken wrap with chicken skewers.

After the meal, he found Ginny replenishing materials in the workshop.

"Ms. Ginny," Li Ang said, trying to keep his tone calm, "Could you please ask my mentor, Eve, if I have an audience with her this afternoon? I have... some important progress regarding my self-developed drug that I need to report to her in person, and I might need her help."

Seeing the solemn look on Leon's face, Ginny didn't dare to delay and immediately turned to inform him. She returned shortly after, nodded to Leon, and said, "Lady Eve says you may go now."

"Thank you." After expressing his gratitude, Li Ang took a deep breath and walked towards the familiar wooden door carved with ice crystal patterns.

Upon entering Eve's living room, Li Ang noticed that Eve was wearing a more formal black robe again.

She was sitting on the sofa, not holding a novel, calmly watching him walk in.

"Mentor," Li Ang bowed respectfully.

"Hmm," Eve responded softly, her light blue eyes fixed on him. "Ginny said you've made some important progress?"

"Yes, mentor." Li Ang took out the amber-colored potion from his pocket and carefully placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

"Based on the direction I consulted with you before, I've attempted to develop a new type of drug, tentatively named the Muscle-Building Drug. Its effects are to safely and effectively enhance the user's physique and muscle mass."

Eve's gaze swept over the vial of potion, and she nodded slightly, signaling Li Ang to continue.

"The initial refining process appears to have been successful, but its efficacy and safety have not yet been verified."

Li Ang continued, "This potion is extremely rare, and there's no time for monster experiments, so... I want to try it myself. But to ensure safety, I humbly request your permission to take it here, and in case of any unforeseen circumstances, I hope to receive your assistance."

Eve listened, her expression remaining aloof. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded: "Okay."
