Chapter 20: Once a spirited nobleman, now bowing his head in resentment.
"What medicine?"
"Deadwood Potion," Leo said.
Upon hearing the name of the potion, Sally frowned and said, "The Withered Wood Potion is a potion for melee mages. Although its difficulty level is considered that of an introductory potion, it is definitely one of the more difficult ones among introductory potions."
"Moreover, the materials required are also quite expensive."
"Danville, are you sure you want to choose the Deadwood Potion?"
"I'm sure."
"Alright. You can get magic stones from me if you need to buy the potion ingredients, but I can only provide three magic stones. I will watch and record the process and provide feedback during the refining."
"Yes, Sally the Wizard," Leo said.
The Deadwood Potion isn't some rare potion that needs to be hidden.
Moreover, with Sally by his side, Leo can avoid some unnecessary mistakes.
Afterwards, Leo returned to his room.
Leo only has one copy of the ingredients for the Deadwood Potion.
This means that Leo can only succeed on his first try.
If it fails, you can only choose other simpler medicines.
Of course, there are many benefits to success.
【Deadwood Potion】

'Consumes 10 Refinement Points'
【Deadwood Potion】
Quality: Normal

Cost: 50 Refinement Points
Superior Encyclopedia: Basic Potions
In terms of the refinement points consumed, the difficulty of refining the Deadwood Potion is among the lowest.
Sally's statement that it was more difficult likely refers to its comparison with other potions in this category.
Leo was engrossed in watching the process of obtaining the Deadwood Potion.
Supervisor's Office
Sally pushed open the door and entered.
The wizard Tesla was writing something on his desk. Without looking up, he asked, "Wizard Sally, how are the three new students doing today?"
"Chris and Molly are average. They're not terrible, but they're not outstanding either."
Sally said with a smile, "And Danville, as always, gave me a big surprise. The fish herbs he selected were of perfect quality."
Tesla paused, a smile curving his lips, and said, "This is very good. Since I obtained perfect quality Fish Vanilla twenty years ago, only Wizard Nova and Danville have obtained perfect quality Fish Vanilla over the years."
"His talent in potion-making, even if not as great as Nova's, should be no less than mine."
Sally's smiling expression suddenly changed, her face becoming as expressionless as a playing card: "Talent isn't just about 'one success'."
Tesla simply smiled upon hearing this: "Indeed, many people's talent in potion-making only became apparent later, and among these people, there are many who are no less talented than me."
Hearing Tesla say this, Sally's expression softened considerably.
Tesla chuckled inwardly.
Sally's talent in potions was indeed no less than his.
Therefore, Sally has always been resentful about not getting the perfect quality fish vanilla.
Tesla said, "Every year, tuition fees weed out a lot of people. There are many gatherings that might bring dozens of people, but in the end, only one or two people remain."
"Judging from the current situation, it's highly likely that Leo will stay. As for Chris and Molly, it will depend on their academic performance."
Tesla suddenly sighed and said, "However, Danville is quite different from the Protoss I've met so far. Many of the Protosss who came to the Tower of Dawn in the past couldn't stand studying academic subjects and preferred fighting and killing."
"It's quite unexpected that Danville, as a Protoss, has the patience to study potion-making and even has considerable talent."
Sally arrived at the Tower of Dawn four years ago, when Protoss were already a rare sight. Therefore, she couldn't understand Tesla's lament. She said, "Even if Protoss are generally like this, there will always be one or two who are different."
"Maybe," Tesla said.
Tesla had barely finished speaking when a crisp knock sounded at the door, followed by a hoarse female voice.
"I am Fura."
"Please come in, Wizard Fura," Tesla said.
The door opened and a tall wizard in a white robe walked in.
She was wearing a clown mask.
"Witch Sally, Witch Tesla, I have a question regarding my research and would like to get your feedback."
Fura explained her problem: "It's actually about the advanced spell of the airflow flight spell that I'm researching. I have some questions about the composition of this spell."
After Fura explained her problem.
Both Sally and Tesla looked troubled.
Fura said, "It seems that neither of you can answer this question. I'm sorry to bother you."
After Fura left, the office was quiet for a moment. Then, Wizard Tesla sighed and said, "Wizard Sally, the problems with the graduate students are the most difficult to solve, compared to the problems with the new students."
"At our level, it's simply impossible for us to be as comprehensive as Professor Esmond. Many of the questions raised by graduate students are ones we can't answer."
Sally was also troubled by this issue, saying, "Regardless of whether our mentor Esmond can return, we can only manage for the next year. If we want to change mentors, we'll have to wait another year."
Tesla said, "That's true."
Tesla suddenly said, "By the way, Sally the Wizard, one of the two wizard buddings you sent to the Uriel Gathering has joined the Knights."
Sally said indifferently, "I have absolutely no concern for what happens to them after they leave the Esmond rally."
Several days passed
Leo, sitting on the bed, ended his meditation.
When Leo opened his eyes, there was a sharp glint in them.
In the past few days, Leo's spiritual energy has increased to 8 points, and he is getting closer and closer to his goal of condensing a spiritual seed.
He estimated that once he reached a basic level of mastery in the beginner meditation method, his mental energy should reach 10 points.
I had just finished meditating when there was a knock on the door.
"Leo, it's me."
Chris's loud voice rang out.
Leo opened the door and asked, "Chris, what's up?"
Chris said, "Leo, would you like to come with me to the market to buy herbs?"
Leo asked, "Have you decided on the potion you want to concoct?"
"That's right, I plan to refine a basic recovery potion."
Upon hearing this, Leo nodded slightly. The basic recovery potion was indeed the easiest potion to make among the beginner-level potions.
Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you; I'd like to buy some herbs too."
Leo still had a few magic stones in his hand, and he planned to buy some simple potion-making materials.
There was only one set of materials for the Deadwood Potion. If the crafting failed, Leo would have to try other potions instead.
Therefore, Leo planned to purchase the materials for a simple medicine in advance.
Thinking of this, Leo sighed inwardly.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the magic stones.
If Leo has enough magic stones, he can buy more Deadwood Potions and have more opportunities to try making them.
Leo went back inside to pack his things, and then went out with Chris.
Chris was extremely excited throughout the journey.
"Leo, do you think the saleswoman will still remember me after this trip?"
Leo said, "She probably doesn't even know your name, does she?"
Upon hearing this, Chris's dark face darkened even more, and he said, "Don't sabotage me, Leo!"
The two soon arrived at the woodpecker's hut.
However, just before Chris was about to go inside, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the side of the woodpecker hut.
A dozen or so young men dressed in silver-white armor were gathered here.
A cloth hung beside them, which read: "Urgent Magic Stone Hunting Mission."
Chris exclaimed in surprise, "Leo, look! Isn't that John?!"
Upon hearing this, Leo instinctively looked over and discovered that one of the young men was none other than John.
Chris raised his hand and said, "John!"
John, who was on the other side, also saw Leo and Chris, and he subconsciously looked at the badges on Leo and Chris's chests.
Seeing the bronze color of the badge on Chris's chest, John felt a surge of jealousy.
Upon seeing the silver color of the badge on Leo's chest and the number 7, his eyes dimmed, and he subconsciously turned his head away to avoid their gaze.
