Chapter 69 - 69 Ashburn"s Advancement! Wu Tu Returns!
69 Ashburn’s Advancement! Wu Tu Returns!
“There’s actually such a potion!?”
When Zhou Zhou saw this Potential Advancement Potion, his heart immediately pounded.
He really needed this potion!
Most of the soldiers under his command were recruited from the Gate of Summoning through recruitment books.
And at least 50% of them only had Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade potential!
As the recruitment books for soldiers started from Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade monsters, the most number of recruitment books he had were the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade recruitment books.
Therefore, he had the most Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade soldiers under him!
If they broke through from Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade to Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade, there would be no more possibility of a breakthrough.
In fact, Bai Yi had notified him about this situation before,
However, Zhou Zhou had no choice in this situation previously, so he could not resolve it.
If he could have a large number of potential advancement potions, these soldiers would immediately have the possibility of breaking through again!
“Do you know where we can obtain a higher-level Potential Advancement Potion or formula?”
Zhou Zhou immediately asked.
If he had a higher-level advancement potion, the problem of the low potential of the human subjects would be resolved!
“The Potential Advancement Potion is the most difficult to research and obtain among countless potions.”
“There are only Black Iron-Tier ones even in the collection of the Gnome Kingdom’s Alchemy a.s.sociation.”
“I don’t know where we can find a higher-level Potential Advancement Potion or the corresponding formula either.”
Peggy winced, then apologized.
Zhou Zhou felt that it was a pity.
However, he was not too disappointed.
His Gnome Alchemy Workshop could allow monsters to drop related alchemy items.
Perhaps one day, it would drop the formula for the Potential Advancement Potion?
Even though the possibility was relatively small.
But what if?
“Do you have a Potential Advancement Potion on you now?”
Zhou Zhou asked.
“I do. I brought three bottles with me when I left for training.” Peggy wiped her spatial ring with her right hand, and three bottles of potion emitting a faint black iron light appeared in her hand. Then, she handed them to Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou took it and asked Bai Yi to call three soldiers with Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade potential and strength over.
Soon, three soldiers came in front of him.
“My Lord!”
“They are three Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Sword Shield Soldiers. They’re usually very brave in battle and are the first batch of Sword Shield Soldiers to advance to the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade.”
“But later on, they were limited by their potential and couldn’t break through anymore. Moreover, even though they’ve acc.u.mulated a lot of military merits, they haven’t used them much.” Bai Yi introduced.
The three of them were a little embarra.s.sed.
“I just feel that the Lord is very good to us. We don’t have to worry about food and clothes, and our lives are quite satisfied. There’s nothing we need for the time being, so I haven’t exchanged it.”
“Me too.”
“I want to save up for a wife in the future.”
The three of them said.
Zhou Zhou smiled.
“The Blazing Sun City will not mistreat every soldier who fights bravely!”
He handed the three bottles of Potential Advancement Potion to the three of them and told them the effects of the potion.
When the three of them heard this, they were first stunned, then immediately became excited.
Then, Zhou Zhou saw the loyalty of the three of them increase continuously and quickly break through to more than 90 points!
One of them’s loyalty directly broke through to 95 points!
Zhou Zhou suddenly realized that the importance of this Potential Promotion Potion to people with low apt.i.tudes like them was simply immeasurable.
It was like a person could only live to be 60 years old.
If his medicine increased the other party’s lifespan to 70 years old. How could this person not be grateful to the person who gave him the medicine?
They used these three bottles of Potential Advancement Potion immediately.
A moment later.
An energy fluctuation erupted from their bodies.
Zhou Zhou opened their interface.
He realized that their potential had increased from Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade to Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade!
Moreover, their strength had already broken through to the Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade!
It should have been acc.u.mulating advancement energy when he was at the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade.
The advancement energy they acc.u.mulated would directly help them break through now that the upper limit of their potential had advanced.
Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
“Thank you, my Lord!”
When the three of them realized their improvement, they immediately knelt down excitedly.
Zhou Zhou helped them up.
“You deserved it.”
“Go back and tell our brothers who also have the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade potential.”
“Soon…”
“The same Potential Advancement Potion will appear in our Blazing Sun Army’s Military Merit Exchange List!”
“Get them ready!”
Zhou Zhou said.
“Yes!” The three of them said excitedly.
Then, they bade farewell to Zhou Zhou and immediately left.
They wanted to spread this good news to the other soldiers!
“My Lord…”
“The medicinal herbs needed to make the Potential Advancement Potion are actually quite rare. And those herbs live in a rather harsh growing environment.”
“Even though the Gnome Kingdom has mastered the formula for a long time, this Potential Advancement Potion is not popularized either.”
“The promise you just made, I’m afraid…” Peggy hesitated.
She did not expect the Lord that she was loyal to to want to popularize it on a large scale as soon as he saw the Potential Advancement Potion.
Even though he did the right thing, he had to consider the difficulty too.
“Don’t worry about this.”
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhou Zhou’s face.
Ling’er had the Divine Herb Garden.
As long as she was given a medicinal herb seed, she could return hundreds or thousands of grown medicinal herbs to him the next day!
Medicinal herbs that were rare?
It did not exist in front of her.
Then, Zhou Zhou asked her for the list of medicinal herbs needed to make Potential Advancement Potion, high-level life potions, and energy potions.
Then, he brought her to the Gnome Alchemy Workshop.
“From now on, you’ll work here. You’ll have another colleague. He’s the owner of this gnome alchemy workshop.
“Ashburn!”
“Come out here to receive guests!” As soon as Zhou Zhou entered the alchemy workshop, he began to call for Ashburn.
Soon, two apprentices walked out of the studio.
“My Lord.”
“Teacher is developing a Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Life Potion. He’s at a critical moment…” An apprentice said awkwardly.
They were naturally more loyal to Zhou Zhou.
However, their teacher was also at the most critical moment.
Under such circ.u.mstances, they did not know who to choose.
“It’s okay.”
“Then we’ll wait for him to come out.”
“Go help him.”
Zhou Zhou was stunned before saying.
The two apprentices heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, they bowed respectfully and returned to the studio.
“Is the boss also a Gnome? Is he also an Alchemy Pharmacist?” Peggy asked curiously.
“He’s indeed a gnome, and he should be of the same race as you.”
“But he’s not an Alchemy Pharmacist. He’s a Black Iron-Tier Advanced Grade Alchemy Technician.”
“He is researching the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Life Potion because he wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade Alchemy Technician.” Zhou Zhou explained.
Peggy was enlightened.
At the same time, she could not help but be curious.
As the daughter of the Alchemy a.s.sociation’s President, when she broke through to the professional level, she had obtained higher-level potion formulas from her father. Then, under the guidance of several potion masters, she quickly mastered this potion and completed the professional level breakthrough.
In addition, she was extremely talented!
That was why she could be promoted to a White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Alchemy Pharmacist at this age!
For example, Ashburn could break through his profession level by exploring advanced knowledge without higher-level knowledge.
Such behavior was not unheard of in the industry.
However, it was relatively rare and the difficulty far exceeded the difficulty of breaking through to the professional level.
Nonetheless, the benefits were also very high.
People who used this method to break through to the professional level often had a relatively solid foundation. Moreover, it would be easier for them to break through in the future.
Moreover, once he received professional guidance,
such an unorthodox genius would grow very quickly!
Peggy knew that there were a few potion masters who had grown up like this in the a.s.sociation.
Thinking of this, she was suddenly curious about Ashburn.
“Oh yes.”
“I’ll give you these potion formulas as a greeting gift.”
“You can learn it, but you don’t have to spend your energy making these two potions.”
“Just focus on making Life Potions, Energy Potions, and Potential Advancement Potions.”
“I will also send some subjects to be your apprentices or a.s.sistants to increase the efficiency of making potions.”
“In addition, if I obtain a new potion formula in the future, I will also give it to you to learn.”
Zhou Zhou handed the antidote formula and the Blood Cleansing Pill formula to Peggy.
Since the Black-tailed Fog Scorpion’s monster ranch, antidotes and Blood Cleansing Pills were produced in large quant.i.ties every day.
Therefore, Zhou Zhou gave this potion formula to Peggy as a simple greeting gift.
“Thank you, my Lord!” Peggy took it with a delighted expression.
Ashburn did not let Zhou Zhou and the others wait long. He walked out of the studio in no time.
He looked tired, but his eyes were shockingly bright. There was a smile on his lips, and he was holding a bottle of red potion.
“My Lord!”
“I’ve already developed this Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Life Potion.”
“I’m already a Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade Alchemy Technician!” Ashburn said excitedly.
“Congratulations!” Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he introduced Peggy beside him.
“Let me introduce you.”
“This is Peggy Orlena, who just joined Blazing Sun City. She’ll also be your colleague in the future.”
“Oh yes.”
“She’s a White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Alchemy Pharmacist.”
“You don’t have to make the Life Potion and Energy Potion anymore. Just leave them to her.”
Ashburn: “?”
He looked a little confused.
I worked so hard to develop the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Life Potion because I wanted to make it for the benefit of the territory.
My Lord, are you saying you don’t need me anymore?
He was a little depressed and his gaze fell on Peggy’s face for the first time.
After a moment of silence.
He turned around and returned to the studio.
Zhou Zhou and Peggy looked at each other blankly.
“Does the boss not like me?”
Peggy wondered.
“Probably not.”
Zhou Zhou was also a little surprised.
Ashburn didn’t seem like such an ill-mannered gnome.
10 seconds later.
The door of the studio suddenly opened.
Ashburn Hall had become clean and changed into brand new clothes, bowing elegantly to Peggy Orlena.
“Beautiful Lady Peggy!”
“Welcome to the Gnome Alchemy Workshop!”
“Please tell me if you need anything.”
“Ashburn will do his best to fulfill the lady’s request as a gentleman!”
Peggy Orlena: =͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●0ꈊ0●|||)
Zhou Zhou: ( ̄□ ̄;)
A moment later.
Zhou Zhou left the Gnome Alchemy Workshop and returned to the Lord’s courtyard.
Then, he immediately contacted Ling’er and asked her to collect the corresponding herbs and nurture them in large quant.i.ties, especially the herbs for the Potential Advancement Potion.
Ling’er agreed without hesitation.
Not long after, a soldier suddenly sent a message.
Wu Tu had just returned with a reconnaissance team and wanted to see the Lord.
Zhou Zhou immediately asked him to come over.
