"Swallows are a symbol of spring and recovery. The swallow potion made by us demon hunters can speed up the recovery of physical injuries."

"If you are facing a protracted battle, drinking a bottle of swallow potion in advance can help you quickly recover from most common injuries."

"Even if you are unfortunately seriously injured, it can help stabilize your injury and prevent it from getting worse."

While Geralt was explaining the effects of the swallow potion to Wayne, he took out a handful of white clover petals, weighed out a certain amount with a weighing tool, put them into a container, and crushed them into a white, transparent juice.

Then he used a spoon to scrape off a layer of sour-smelling body fluid attached to a water ghost brain and threw it into the container.

Finally, he took out a bottle of dwarven liquor from his waist, poured half of it into the container, placed it on the support of the fire, and continued to say to Wayne while stirring:

"The recipe for the Swallow Potion is relatively simple. It only requires the petals of the white clover flower and a portion of the water ghost brain in a weight ratio of two to one. Add strong liquor and boil for an hour, and that's it."

"It is one of the most commonly used potions for us demon hunters. It is suitable for most battles. It has no side effects of its own, and it can also effectively offset the side effects of several potions such as Thunderbolt, Maribor Forest, Triple Crown, and Stanmoreford's Elixir."

“It tastes like rotten oranges with lard.”

"Of course, just like our other demon hunter potions, the swallow potion also contains a certain amount of toxicity. Only we demon hunters can use it."

"If ordinary people drink it, it will have a certain recovery effect, but before that, they will be poisoned to death by the poison."

Wayne listened and took notes, watching the mixed liquid in the container slowly change from white to light yellow under the high temperature of the flame, and an unpleasant smell filled the air.

The Swallow Potion is indeed the most famous of all Witcher potions, and it frequently appears in both novels and games. Even in The Witcher 3, Geralt used the Swallow Potion to revive a seriously injured ordinary woman.

The two sat by the cold lake and waited for an hour. During this time, Geralt taught Wayne how to brew potions, how to use the tools for making potions, and some other potion recipes. He also let Wayne personally process the petals of the white clover and the water devil's brain.

In the end, after consuming six water ghost brains, a small bag of white clover petals, and three bottles of liquor, they refined a total of twelve bottles of swallow potion.

Geralt took four bottles and stuffed them into his waist bag, then motioned for Wayne to take the remaining eight bottles.

Wayne was not polite and packed up the remaining swallow potion. He took out one of the bottles, looked at the light yellow transparent liquid inside, and asked curiously:

"Geralt, how long can this potion be kept?"

"I read in a book that different potions have different toxicities, and we demon hunters can't take these poisons indefinitely."

"The average demon hunter can only take two or three bottles of potions at the same time before reaching their limit."

“Are there any specific standards?”

Hearing this, White Wolf looked up at the time, then stood up and began to pick up the alchemy tools on the ground, saying:

"Indeed, although the Demon Hunter potion is powerful, if we drink too much at the same time, it will not only have no benefit, but will also cause serious harm to our bodies."

"As for how many potions you can drink at the same time, it depends on the mutated organs in your body and how much toxicity they can withstand."

"This thing is just like alcohol tolerance."

"The stronger the body and the better the physique, the more toxic a demon hunter who frequently takes various potions can withstand."

"However, since our potions are all made with strong liquor, they are not easy to spoil, so they can be stored for a reasonable period of time."

Wayne nodded. This was more in line with his understanding. Since the degree to which each demon hunter could withstand the toxicity of the potion was related to their mutated organs, could it be assumed that taking these highly toxic potions could, to a certain extent, train their toxic resistance?

Looking at the swallow potion in his hand, Wayne suddenly thought of the mutation level in his skill bar.

Over the past year and a half, he had tried many methods, but his mutation level still hadn't gained any proficiency.

Perhaps, the demon hunter potion in hand is the method to train the mutation level.

Wayne thought for a few seconds, then turned to Geralt and said:

"I haven't taken the Demon Hunter potion yet. I want to try the effects of the Swallow potion."

Geralt shrugged nonchalantly, not surprised by the young man's curiosity.

However, he still reminded: "Our potions are all made from strong liquor. If your alcohol tolerance is not good enough, it's best not to drink too much."

Wayne nodded indifferently when he heard this. In his previous life, he was a tough guy who ate a plate of peanuts and drank several kilograms of strong liquor. How could he be afraid of ancient strong liquor? He first used a clean knife to cut a shallow wound on his wrist, then picked up the swallow potion, endured the sour smell, and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the pale yellow liquid entered his body from his throat, a burning heat mixed with a slight cutting pain began to burn in his internal organs.

But soon, the pain and burning sensation began to spread throughout his body and slowly disappeared. A warm feeling enveloped his whole body and his body was no longer as uncomfortable as before.

Then, when the warm feeling flowed to his arm, Wayne could clearly feel that the shallow wound on his arm was no longer painful, but instead there was a tingling sensation as the wound healed.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded as he expected.

Mutation proficiency +1, current progress: 1.

Mutation LV1: Mana recovery speed +10%, poison resistance +1.

After hearing this reminder, Wayne was delighted. Compared with the swordsmanship level which takes several hours to improve a little proficiency, the mutation level is the same as the seal level. It can be improved quickly by taking medicine every day.

The bonus brought by the mutation level is very helpful in improving his strength.

The faster the magic power recovers, the more seals you can cast and the faster you can increase the level of the seals.

The higher the poison resistance, the more Demon Hunter potions you can drink, and the faster you can increase your mutation level. It's simply a virtuous cycle.

It seems that drinking medicine will become one of his daily activities in the future.

Thinking this way, Wayne paid more attention to the alchemy that Geralt taught him.

I just don't know if his cooking skills can be helpful in brewing potions and make these unpalatable potions delicious.

If that was the case, he wouldn't mind helping other witchers from the Wolf School to brew potions.
