Chapter 40 - Perception Potion

Chapter 40 Perception Potion

As expected, her attention was instantly diverted. Of course, she had thought Mo Fan was bragging from the start, and she wouldn’t have taken him seriously no matter how boastful he sounded. Her eyes lit up and she held her breath for a moment when she saw the red herb. When she saw it, the first thought that came to mind was that she had made the right choice coming here. Just this pear blossom alone made her trip to the Magical Beast Forest worth it.

The magical beast forest was indeed a magical beast forest. It was an abyss, but it still made people flock to it. Ignoring everything else, Edith quickly ran toward the pear blossom, put on the potion gloves again, and carefully plucked the sixth-level pear blossom.

One by one, the three knights came to a halt and watched as the usually steady and proper apothecary flew toward the red flower like a butterfly. The knights had never been proficient in magic, not even in simple dabbling, but they saw how happy she was and probably knew how precious the herb was.

It wasn’t until she’d carefully placed the pear blossom in her magic storage bag, where she kept her potions, that she remembered that the alternate world mage had said something about sensing potions. She turned her attention to the young mage. He had a very bland expression on his face, as if what he was seeing was normal and the dangerous forest of magical beasts wasn’t a dangerous place.

When she saw a precious herb, she would look happy. The Knight Commander and the other two knights had become very nervous ever since they approached the forest of magical beasts. They kept an eye on their surroundings, afraid that a dangerous magical beast would rush out if they were not careful. The knights’ guardedness was obvious just by looking at them. What is it that makes this young mage walk leisurely through the dangerous forest of magical beasts like he’s walking on the streets?

– It doesn’t seem to make sense to use the word ‘ignorance’ to explain it. Besides, he knew about Perception Potions. Edith pulled her white robe closer around her. Her eyes darted around before she slowly walked toward Mo Fan.

She asked casually, “So you also know about the Perception Potion!”

Every apothecary family had one or two or even dozens of secret potion formulas. These were the most precious treasures of an apothecary family. As the number one apothecary family on this continent, the Karensi family had many potion formulas that had been passed down for generations. They were all very precious potion formulas.

However, all these potions had one thing in common, and that was that the raw materials were extremely rare. The formulas for the potions were not in circulation in the continent. Other than the Karensi family, she thought, there could be no one else who knew about the Perception Potion. It was such a precious potion formula, but Mo Fan spoke about it like it was ordinary. He looked very calm and even his voice did not waver.

“Is this a rare recipe? It doesn’t seem strange that I know about it.”

“It’s prepared with pears, moonstones, ponchos, and-gold ore.”

Mo Fan turned his head casually. He looked at the formula on the transparent panel, then at the materials in his backpack. He nodded and continued, “Yes, these are the ones.”

Then he added, “It’s not exactly precious material.”

To Mo Fan, these were indeed not precious materials or formulas. There was a pile of formulas and materials in his backpack that he could use at any time. Previously, he needed to do missions to level up in the game. These things were all rewards that he had unlocked when he did missions.

However, at that time, for the sake of the experience and armaments in the mission, he did not care about these mission treasure chests. After opening them, he put them in his backpack and never bothered with them again. He even had treasure chests in his backpack that had not been opened before. Besides, potions could be bought in the game as long as one had money. He only wanted to level up and fight the Boss and did not want to spend time making potions to sell for money.

Meanwhile, Edith took a deep breath and asked, “Does the Archmage know what the Perception Potion does?”

Mo Fan almost couldn’t be bothered to answer such a low-level question. This potion was like an energy bar in the game. In short, it added energy, energy, and energy.

Every gamer had dozens of them in their backpacks. After all, they were fighting, and when their magic ran out, they would chew on an energy bar to sustain themselves. If one was not enough, it was common for them to consume 10 of them. But he naturally couldn’t use this plain description with Edith. He weighed his words before answering her.

“A Perception Potion can enhance the perception of magical elements for a certain period of time. It can effectively avoid danger, and at the same time, the power of magic can be synchronized. It’s a very basic potion.

A mage should be a mage that everyone needs!”

Edith could have laughed at that. “One for each hand and a necessary presence?”

What kind of speech is that?

Mo Fan turned to look at Edith’s expression. He raised an eyebrow. “What? Am I wrong?”

That shouldn’t be the case. One of the most common scenes in the game where he fought the Boss was when he ran out of magic energy. He would take out a Perception Drug and start drinking it. When he had enough magic energy, he started fighting the Boss again. However, Mo Fan’s magic was powerful enough, so he didn’t need the potion. He still had a lot of them in his backpack.

Every time he opened a treasure chest, he considered it a basic item. The probability of its value falling was very high. Sometimes he did not get the armament he wanted after completing a mission. Instead, he would get a pile of Perception Potions. Every time this happened, Mo Fan would despise this thing. It was useless and even took up space.

Hearing Mo Fan’s words, Edith’s expression was indescribable. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if she was jealous or angry. “Absolutely wrong,” she said. “Apart from the fact that the pear blossoms are the right material for the Perception Potion, everything else is wrong.

You can’t imagine how precious a Perception Potion is. Where’s the common stuff you’re talking about? Do you know how many people would fight over a Perception Potion like that if it was circulated in the Guild of Magic?

This was something that could not be bought with real money.

Besides, its greatest role is not to amplify magic, but to help people awaken it.”
