47: Low-quality potions and alchemical items

After opening the box, it was divided into two layers.

The top layer held several glass test tubes, containing various colored liquids.

The bottom layer held several tightly sealed canning jars, with no leakage whatsoever.

These potions or canning jars were the various low-grade potions and alchemy constructs he had attempted to concoct over the past few days.

Among them, several potions were the Sobering Potion, Sleeping Potion, Excitement Potion, and Aphrodisiac Potion.

The first two potions, needless to say, one could be used to refresh the mind, and the other to induce sleep.

They were simple to concoct, required easily obtainable herbs, and similar effects also existed in folk remedies.

However, the latter two potions were different.

The Excitement Potion, as its name suggested, could make a person feel excited, their heart rate accelerate, and their speech and movements increase.

From its effects alone, it was quite similar to the Sobering Potion.

However, the Excitement Potion's formula contained extracts from two toxic herbs.

If taken in small doses, it could stimulate brain nerves, promote blood circulation, and had effects such as treating dizziness, headaches, and low mood or depression.

But, if the dosage was too high, there was a risk of blood vessel rupture, cardiac arrest, fainting, and sudden death.

In other words, this potion was both a good remedy for saving lives and a silent killer!

As for the Aphrodisiac Potion, Ron used the ji yu grass he had brought back earlier to extract a small amount of liquid, combined with several other drugs to concoct it.

It was generally used for animals, for example, certain magical creatures or magical beasts that were bred by humans and had difficulty reproducing; after taking this medicine, they would go into heat and mate.

However... sometimes, it could actually be used on humans.

As for the several alchemy constructs on the second layer, they were the Molotov Cocktail, Smoke Bomb, Flashbang, and Poison Gas Bomb.

Not all of the formulas for these low-grade alchemy constructs came from Harrington's alchemy notes.

Instead, Ron combined the content in the notes with some knowledge from his previous life.

In a flash of inspiration, he experimented and created them.

For example, the Molotov Cocktail was concocted by Ron using high-concentration distilled alcohol, combined with Firestone and Red Crystal, as well as extracts from two other herbs containing inert substances.

It was not only stable and without the risk of spontaneous combustion.

Moreover, when actually used, its power and range were several times greater than ordinary alcohol combustion!

“Several potions are one thing, but these alchemy constructs are incredibly powerful!”

Ron thought to himself; he had tested the power of these things when he went to the wilderness before.

“If they can be cleverly combined, then even a peak Apprentice Knight might be designed and killed!”

After he stepped into the Apprentice Knight realm, he also had a rough assessment of the strength he could exert at his current level.

If external enhancements were excluded, such as alchemy constructs, amplifying potions, warhorses, or pet beasts... then relying solely on personal strength, a peak Apprentice Knight with armor and a sword, in a life-and-death struggle against Ron carrying several low-grade alchemy constructs...

Then it was really hard to say who would win or lose!

After all, an Apprentice Knight, compared to a Knight Squire, only activated the Life Seed within their body.

The function of the Life Seed was to absorb vital energy and nutrients, and then feed back to the Knight, greatly enhancing their physique.

But this enhancement also had its limits, at most it could only make the Knight's body as hard as iron.

However, that was not real steel after all.

Therefore, it would also fear fire, acidic water, poisonous gas, lightning... “However, if facing a Just Knight, these things would not be enough.”

Ron's eyes flashed, revealing a solemn expression.

After stepping into the Just Knight realm, not only would power and speed double and surge.

But he would also be able to channel the battle qi within his body to his weapons and armor, enhancing their power and defense.

Therefore, if a Just Knight used footwork to dodge, or used shield-type weapons to block.

Then Ron's several alchemy constructs would not pose any threat.

“With my current cultivation speed, even if I obtain essence fruit again as an enhancement.”

“It's impossible to break through Apprentice Knight so quickly in a short time, therefore...”

Ron's heart stirred, and he looked down at Lorraine's Potionology notes.

He turned the pages until he reached the one about the Spirit Awakening Potion.

“Why not find a way in the path of a wizard?”

Although a true Spirit Awakening Potion could only be refined by a true Potion Master.

However, Lorraine's notes actually recorded several low-grade Spirit Awakening Potions.

Although the medicinal effect was greatly reduced, it allowed ordinary people like Ron to concoct it.

Most importantly, the side effects of this potion were extremely low, and it could be taken repeatedly multiple times.

As long as there was a period of time in between to replenish the consumed Mental Energy, the damage could be minimized.

“When I go to Kura City, I must find a way to find those scarce medicinal ingredients in the formula.”

Just as Ron was pondering, a notification sound suddenly came to his ears.

“Has the intelligence been updated...”

Ron murmured to himself, then immersed his mind and looked at the system intelligence.

[Ding! Today's intelligence is as follows—]

[1. After nearly ten days of torture and interrogation, under Gevas's combination of tough and gentle tactics, coercion, and inducements, Pollock and others could not bear it and have decided to confess.]

[2. Mirar, upon learning of the increase in the number of slaves, was in a joyful mood and decided to visit the Enthusiastic Bar again tonight to find a suitable handsome man for a one-night stand.]

[3. Mirar and Madoc Sal's latest slave handover time is the end of this month, and the method is for Gevas to send people to transport them by carriage.]

[4. Jeffman, the librarian of Hibo Town Knight School, was promoted to an official Knight in his youth, but later due to injury, illness, and age, his realm regressed to a low-level Apprentice Knight.]

[5. After Gevas's screening, a large number of Barto Family servants and guards were dismissed or reassigned to Gevas's family.]

[6. Litton will receive a letter from Gavin returning from Cons City this morning and plans to visit him in Kura City tomorrow.]

[7. In Kura City's Commercial Street, the Exchange and pharmacies will sell the following goods tomorrow—click to expand.]

[8. In Kura City's Commercial Street, the Exchange and blacksmith shops will sell the following goods tomorrow—click to expand.]

[9. In Kura City's Commercial Street, the Exchange and jewelry stores will sell the following goods tomorrow—click to expand.]

[10. Sister Martha of Kura City Cathedral will save enough money today to buy her favorite silver ornament tomorrow.]

“Pollock... Is that the young man I saw being dragged away when I went to Gevas's office that day?”

After reading the first piece of intelligence, Ron pondered for a moment and immediately recalled Pollock's figure.
