Ch.9 Help

“Let’s go” After finishing, Lin Yun took three bottles* and left the alchemy lab.


(TN: the author last chapter said seven bottles)


“OK” 

Raymond who was still thinking how to put away his pride, heard the order and nodded his head obediently. But as they were leaving, he remembered that after cleaning the lab, the young master throw the test tube that was filled with the red coral solution into the oven.


Although he knew that the high temperature produced by the flame stone won’t cause the red coral solution to explode, there was still a deep rooted fear in his mind. So he hesitated before asking:

 “ About the red coral solution….”


“There’s no problem, Rest assured”

 Lin Yun answered before Raymond could finish his question, because he knew what he was going to ask.

 He wanted to know if the remnant of the red coral solution in the test tube would explode, if it was thrown into the oven.


Of course it wouldn’t explode. It won’t take long for alchemists to discover that there was a solution for the problem of the instability of the red coral solution under high temperatures, and that’s by adding a small amount of moonlight sand and chanting a certain short incantation. That would easily solve the problem.


This discovery would change the direction of the alchemy researches. New technologies would be developed and a lot of alchemists would spend time researching the red coral solution and use the huge amount of mana contained in it to produce amazing products.


One of these products is the potion stored in the three bottles in Lin Yun’s pocket.


It wasn’t the multi-colored potion, rather it was called the myriad colors potion*. It wasn’t like that Raymond judgment was completely wrong. After all the smell, mana fluctuations and even the effect were similar to the multi-colored potion.

(TN: *original text is 万 which means 10,000 or a great number)


But even if they were similar, they weren’t the same.


After all the potion got its name ‘myriad’ from the huge amount of mana contained in the red coral solution. And its effect doesn’t stop at purifying the mana vortex.


Not only the myriad colors potion can purify the mana vortex, but also it can strengthen it. The addition of the moonlight sand stabilized the red coral solution, and the addition of the seven leaf clovers and the thousand knot cloves can help the mages in absorbing the mana of the potion.


Although the absorption process is difficult and takes a lot of time, no one can deny its value, even the most incompetent mage. After all what is the thing that any mage desires? Undoubtedly, it’s a strong mana vortex. As long as the mage’s mana vortex is strong, he’ll be invincible.

And the myriad colors potion can grant this wish.


Although its effect in purifying the mana vortex isn’t as strong as the multi-colored potion, its value would still be above the multi-colored potion.


Mages who haven’t reached level 9 yet, they would be more willing to strengthen their mana vortex rather than purifying it. They will be the main customers of that potion and their numbers are higher than the level 9 mages who are preparing to break through.


“Right, Raymond, I want your help with something”


“Huh, help?”


Raymond answered subconsciously, but then he remembered that the person in front of him is a 20 years pharmaceutical alchemist and he couldn’t afford to offend him. So he smiled and said: 

“Sure, How can I help you?”



Raymond answered with an extremely respectful tone, but Lin Yun didn’t care.

He took the three bottles from his pocket and said: 

“Help me with these three bottles. Send one bottle to the auction house in Triumph street and tell them to deal with it in three days and as for the price they can decide themselves. As for this bottle, send it to the magi guild and tell them that i need an access to the
library with the highest level permit. As for the remaining bottle, figure it out yourself. ”



“Okay, Auction house, Magi guild and figure it out ….. Myself?”


“Well, you can decide whether to use it yourself or give it away. ”


“Ah...” 

Raymond was so shocked that the three valuable bottles in his hand nearly fell to ground.


“This is potion is called the myriad colors potion. In addition to purifying the mana vortex, it can also strengthen it. If i guessed right, then you’re a level 5 mage. This potion can be beneficial to you.”


“That… Won’t it be too expensive?”

Raymond didn’t think that the last bottle would be given to him. Even though this wasn’t the multi-colored potion as he imagined, but from the sound of it, the myriad colors potion seemed even more valuable. Purifying the mana and strengthening it, those 2 effects made the potion twice as valuable.



Raymond couldn’t foresee this development. He was still thinking of a way to apologize. After all he has almost attacked a future grand alchemist, even if he didn’t die he had to at least shed a layer of his skin. But instead a pie fell from the sky on him.



As a result he didn’t know what to say after they left the golden rose.


“Well, hurry up and go.”

 For Lin Yun, giving away a myriad colors potion bottle wasn’t a big deal. The potion can only be considered precious in this era as the alchemists have yet to discover the way to deal with the red coral solution. But this knowledge wasn’t a secret for Lin Yun, and the red coral was abundant in this era. If he wanted he could just make another 10 or 20 bottles, so giving one bottle as reward wasn’t a big deal.



Raymond helped with the enchantment, so he rewarded him with a bottle. It was that simple.


As for what Raymond was thinking, Lin Yun didn’t have the time to worry about that.



He just witnessed the world’s destruction and somehow ended up in another body. So he was determined to enjoy his second chance to the fullest. So how could he worry about what the others think.


Raymond was efficient in his work. On the noon of the third day, he went to Merlin’s mansion. After he explained to his father the reason for his disappearance for 2 days, he went upstairs to Lin Yun’s room.


“This is 30,000 GC obtained from selling the myriad colors potion.” 

Raymond said with some regret on his face as he handed Lin Yun a crystal card.

“It’s a pity though. We’re tight on time and auction house didn’t have the chance to advertise the potion.Only the mages of Thousand sails city got the news and finally a level 8 mage bought the potion. The auction house said that if they were given more days, then the price could even reach 50,000 GC.”



“30,000 GC are enough” 

Lin Yun shook his head. 30,000 or 50,000 was the same for him. It was true that he needed money, but what he needed was hundreds of thousands of gold coins.


30,000 GC was enough for his daily expenses. What was important to him right now was to understand this world as soon as possible. 

Mafa Merlin was only an apprentice and his knowledge was limited to the apprentice level.

So Lin Yun was more concerned about the second bottle of the myriad colors potion.


“So, what did the magi guild say?”


“Right, the magi guild...”

 Raymond who was still upset about the 20,000 GC, when he heard Lin Yun he took a second crystal card from his pocket. 

“ The things with the magi guild went smoothly. I found a friend working there. He said they agreed with your conditions, but they wanted you to meet them when you have time.”


“When I have the chance”


Lin Yun said as he took the crystal card and the invitation to the magi guild. His request wasn’t rejected outright. And since he wanted to enter the library, he will come in contact with them. So, instead of antagonizing them, it was better to go and see what they have to say.


“Great, I will go tell my friend”


“Wait. There is another thing, i need your help with.”


‘Help again?’ 

Raymond’s saliva overflowed from his mouth. In the last 2 days, he took the myriad colors potion to the auction house and the magi guild, so how could he not understand its value. The auction house was alarmed that the chief pharmaceutical alchemist came by himself to appraise the potion. As for the magi guild, one of its 3 legendary hegemons received him. He got a VIP treatment not because they were giving face to a trivial level 5 mage, but because of the myriad colors potion.


He even received a bottle for himself, just because he helped enchant few bottles.


Now there was a chance to help again,

'Of course I will do it.'
