Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Skill Level Up, Trouble with the Potion?

It wasn't that concocting potions by hand was particularly rare—many high-level alchemists and potion masters could do it.

The issue was that Luca was merely a Bronze Grade, low-level Witch Doctor. How was he able to use techniques that only high-level professionals typically employed?

Sophia was equally astonished.

Her junior's talent was truly remarkable!

Others might not realize it, but she knew very well that Luca had only recently become a Witch Doctor. In such a short period, he had mastered both multi-ingredient extraction and hand-crafted potion techniques, something she had never heard of before, even with her own high aptitude.

She realize that Luca learn more difficult secret technique, so she feel it is possible that he can use the high-level hand-crafted potion technique.

"It's all thanks to my teacher's guidance. Without him, I wouldn't have mastered these advanced techniques so quickly," Luca casually explained.

"No wonder," everyone nodded in understanding. After all, Franklin was a rare high-level Witch Doctor, so it made sense he knew some special potion-making techniques.

Cassman clicked his tongue in amazement. "I always thought Franklin, with his odd temperament, wouldn't be much of a teacher. But he's really something."

Sophia shook her head slightly. "More than just something. Teaching a low-level Witch Doctor to master high-level potion techniques and advanced secrets in such a short time... even at Red Maple Academy in Southwind City, few teachers could achieve that."

Old butler Charles praised, "Franklin truly lives up to his reputation as the most famous Witch Doctor in Emerald State. It's well-deserved!"

Hearing the group's praises for Franklin, Luca couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

While he didn't want to criticize his teacher, the truth was, Franklin hadn't taught him much besides how to feed an eagle mouse. Even the Witch Doctor skills and knowledge were self-taught by Luca.

However, Luca didn't say anything further.

Having a renowned teacher to draw attention was beneficial, making him seem less conspicuous.

As time passed, it wasn't long before the six essences merged, forming a light purple liquid in Luca's hand.

Luca's speed in merging the potions was astonishing. If high-level healers or Witch Doctors were to witness this, they would likely doubt their own potion-making knowledge.

Potion merging is the most challenging step in potion crafting. The proportion of each ingredient, the order of merging, and whether the potions' properties conflict all require meticulous attention. Any minor error in these steps can lead to the potion's failure or significantly reduced efficacy.

However, Luca not only managed to merge multiple potions flawlessly but did so while still being a low-level Witch Doctor. His ability was nothing short of extraordinary.

Luca's skill didn't come easily.

In his previous life, he spent a significant amount of resources honing his perception and control over potion properties.

This allowed him to perfectly balance the proportion of ingredients and simultaneously extract and merge multiple potions.

As a result, Luca's speed in crafting potions was incredibly fast.

In no time, he successfully created the simplified version of the Clarity Potion!

[Ding! You have crafted a mid-tier potion "Simplified Clarity Potion" across ranks, increasing your proficiency by 3000 points!]

[Ding! Your skill "Potion Synthesis" has leveled up to lv5, increasing your synthesis success rate by 16% and potion effectiveness by 12%...]

Crafting a potion beyond his current level directly boosted Luca's "Potion Synthesis" skill to level 5, significantly enhancing its effects.

At this pace, it wouldn't take long for this skill to reach level 10, at which point Luca could confidently attempt high-tier potion crafting.

Cassman looked at the purple vapor-emitting liquid in Luca's hand and said, "Can this really cure Lady Lenna's illness? Kid, you better not be risking her life!"

The others also looked doubtful.

The potion's appearance didn't inspire confidence; it looked more like poison than a magical remedy.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't joke about the health of my senior's mother," Luca replied casually. He then took out a transparent glass vial and poured the newly synthesized Clarity Potion into it.

Handing the vial to Sophia, he smiled and said, "Now, just feed this potion to Lady Lenna. The potion's effects will cleanse her soul and mind of the Nightmare's curse and pull her out of the nightmare."

Looking at the bubbling purple liquid in the glass vial, Sophia hesitated for a moment.

In the end, she decided to trust Luca and give it a try.

She made this decision for two reasons: first, Luca had previously demonstrated his abilities, making her believe that he truly had the skill.

Second, Franklin had assured her that if anything went wrong, he would step in to back up Luca.

This assurance was enough for her to take the risk.

Sophia carefully took the purple potion from Luca and walked over to her mother's bedside. She gently administered the potion to Lady Lenna.

The purple liquid slid down Lady Lenna's throat.

Everyone, except Luca, watched with bated breath.

Some silently prayed that nothing would go wrong, knowing that few among them could withstand the wrath of Count Ryan.

To their relief, Lady Lenna showed no adverse reactions after drinking the potion.

This at least indicated that Luca's potion was harmless.

Luca paid no mind to their doubts.

He observed Lady Lenna's condition and nodded slightly.

It seemed that his hastily concocted simplified Clarity Potion was quite effective.

The potion took effect quickly.

Within a few breaths, Lenna's body have react.

Her pale complexion began to regain color, and her eyelids fluttered as though she was about to wake up.

"Is this kid's potion really working?!" Charles and the others widened their eyes in astonishment.

This was a nightmare curse from a high-level Nightmare, a condition that even many high-level healers couldn't treat.

Yet, this kid's single potion was showing results?!

Everyone was amazed.

Cassman's heart burned with hope.

If Luca could dispel Lady Lenna's nightmare curse, perhaps he could also deal with the death energy in his own body!

Watching Lady Lenna's color gradually return, Sophia's eyes filled with joy.

She had initially intended to just give it a try, but Luca's potion was truly working!

Her mother was saved!

Under everyone's hopeful gaze, Lady Lenna slowly opened her eyes.

"Ugh... where am I?" she mumbled, her eyes filled with confusion as she clutched her head. She seemed disoriented, as if she hadn't fully woken up from her dream.

"Madam, you're finally awake!" Charles and the others were visibly excited.

Sophia hurried forward, asking with concern, "Mother, how do you feel now?"

Seeing the group in her room, Lady Lenna looked slightly puzzled. "Why are you all here?" she asked.

Then turned to Sophia, surprised. "Sophia, what happened? Why are you asking me this?"

Everyone was confused. Did Lady Lenna not know what had happened?

Luca, however, wasn't surprised.

This was a normal reaction. From Lady Lenna's perception, she had merely taken a nap. She was unaware that a whole day and night had passed. In fact, even the past few days might seem like a mere dream to her.

Realizing this, Sophia quickly recounted the events of the past few days to her mother.

"I was bewitched by a Nightmare?!" Lady Lenna's eyes filled with terror, her face instantly turning pale.

It was then that she remembered what she had experienced in her dream.

She had initially thought it was just a nightmare but never imagined that she had actually fallen victim to a Nightmare's curse!

Thinking about it, Lady Lenna's face showed fear.

Had she not woken up, she might have been trapped in that nightmare forever!

She looked at Luca, wanting to express her gratitude.

But suddenly felt dizzy and extremely weak, as if all her strength had been drained.

"What's... happening..." Lady Lenna's voice was weak.

Before she could finish speaking, she fainted again.

Everyone was shocked.

Could there be a problem with Luca's potion?
