Chapter 42: Green Herb Potion

When all the food on the table was cleared away, Crown felt the hunger from the depths of his soul gradually disappear.

"When we become extraordinary people, our life level is elevated. We are much better than ordinary people in everything. The most intuitive manifestation is eating," Nick said with a smile on his face.

"Father, I see you don't have a big appetite."

He was a little bit unconvinced, as the two of them had eaten together quite a few times. In his impression, the priest's appetite was similar to that of the quarry workers who did heavy physical work, with no obvious difference.

"There are many ways to replenish energy, and eating is just one of them. The attack methods of exorcist priests are different from yours. We mainly rely on spiritual power. Replenishing spiritual essence is an important way for us to obtain energy. Priests, warlocks, and even spirit masters all replenish energy in this way. Not only can we replenish energy, but we can also train and improve ourselves, killing two birds with one stone."

At this point, the shallowness of Crown's extraordinary knowledge was clearly exposed.

As a person who also practices as a spirit controller, he still doesn't know how to improve his spirit controller abilities.

Now that he has become an insider of the church, he plans to hide his ability as a spirit control master and keep it as a trump card.

"What is spiritual essence? What are the extraordinary professions of spirit masters and warlocks?"

Asking when you don’t understand is a good habit. Now he never pretends to know when he doesn’t.

"Father Hamfa brought a batch of basic knowledge books. You can study on your own when the time comes." Nick stood up. "Today's training ends here. You should adapt to your current physical fitness in the evening. Tomorrow, two senior Crusaders will tutor you. You must study hard. They don't stay here for a long time. How much you can learn depends on your ability."

The priest patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have great confidence in you."

“Doesn’t the church have a system for training new members?”

Hearing that he had to teach himself again, Clown felt a little depressed.

Systematic training will make people grow more comprehensively without obvious shortcomings. When he was a non-staff member, he had no way to fight for anything. Now that he has become a formal employee, he must fight for some rights that he deserves.

"Of course we have a training system for new employees, but now is a special period, so these trainings are no longer available. New employees in the future will have to learn and improve through actual combat."

Nick turned and walked away, leaving the young man still trying to figure out the deeper meaning of his words.

Crown realized that something had happened that he didn't know about.

There are two main differences between senior officials and ordinary people. One is the information asymmetry; the other is the control over resource allocation.

In higher-level circles, they have more and wider sources of information and can be the first to know any changes.

In addition, since they control the allocation of resources, these people will always have a firm say.

He shook his head, thought no more, and left the church.

Knowing too much will only add to your troubles if you don't have the ability to do it. You can only do things within your ability. This is his profound experience in two lifetimes.

As he walked along the road, Crown summoned a golden wall to check how much his proficiency had increased after the afternoon battle.

It is a blessing to see your own progress at all times, and it also gives you motivation.

[Basic Swordsmanship: 4687/5000; Level 3]

[Cross Sword: 1832/2000; Level 2]

Perhaps it is because brutal battles can inspire people's fighting spirit and resilience that the progress in swordsmanship is much greater than expected.

When passersby on the road saw him covered in blood, they subconsciously avoided him.

Crown didn't care at all. Although his injuries looked horrific, they were actually not serious.

No medicine was applied to the wounds, but they had all scabbed over and healed, including the deepest one.

After returning home, he put away the talisman paper that was drying outside and quickly made a fire to cook.

Hurrying to the point of time, he sat cross-legged under the moonlight and began to practice the Golden Light Mantra just as the hour of You arrived.

Now that the Golden Light Mantra is making slow progress, we must seize the favorable time.

A pile of sand forms a tower, a pile of water forms an abyss; the accumulation of little by little is for the purpose of bearing fruit one day.

For others, the road ahead is surrounded by a chaotic fog, and efforts may not necessarily lead to rewards.

For him, there is no wasted journey and every step counts.

Just after the You hour, there was a knock on the door.

There is no need to guess, the two demon hunters arrived as promised.

He opened the door: "Come in."

"You seem a little different." The witcher's eyes were deep, with a gleam of light in them.

Such a sharp intuition? Krahn raised his lips and said, "I'm lucky enough to be promoted to a transcendent. I can learn the breathing method tomorrow."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

His tone was calm, but he couldn't suppress his smugness.

"Congratulations!"

Geralt sighed in his heart. When they first met, he just felt that the other was a sunny and good young man. He didn't expect that only a month had passed, and he had already been promoted to a transcendent.

"Congratulations, big brother, you've advanced. When can I take the Green Grass Trial?"

Alan was very envious, but since he couldn't find an alchemist to help him make potions, he had been unable to take the crucial step of becoming a real demon hunter.

When the white-haired demon hunter heard his student's words, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He sighed and asked, "Klauen, how many kinds of extraordinary potions can you make now, and what is the success rate?"

"I have only mastered the production of one extraordinary potion, the Boiling Blood Potion, and the success rate is about 60%."

These days, he had no raw materials at hand and he hadn't prepared medicine for a long time.

“If I give you a new recipe, can you succeed once in two chances?”

Geralt just finished speaking, then shook his head and laughed at himself, "I was too anxious. No pharmacist can do it."

You keep talking to yourself, you have to give me a chance to show my ability.

Clown smiled. He understood. The demon hunter wanted to prepare a potion, but he didn't have many materials, and it should be difficult to buy them. So, he wanted to find a capable pharmacist to make it, and it would be best if he could succeed in one go.

"Tell me, what potion? I may not be sure about it now, but I may be sure about it someday."

"The Green Herb Potion, also known as the Wild Herb Potion, is a special potion for demon hunters. It is used by apprentices to break through and become real demon hunters."

The witcher looked at his student tenderly and said softly, "Alan wants it, but we only have two sets of materials. For some reason, I left the witcher's base camp and had to find an alchemist to make it myself. Since only witchers can use this potion, the herbal potion we use is replenished in Kaer Morhen. There are very few alchemists outside of there who study this potion that cannot bring them any benefits."

Klauen understood. He tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "If Mr. Geralt can provide me with a few recipes for extraordinary potions with relatively easy-to-buy ingredients so that I can practice, I think I can make the herbal potion."
