Lord: Stripped of My Inheritance from the Start - Chapter 355 - 349: Support Enhancement Potion
Ronin wasn’t worried about the missing 85 points of Energy Essence.
It was the sixth of the month; he’d have enough after signing in for another eight days.
Ronin was more focused on the effects of the Support Enhancement Potion that Elron had received after his advancement.
“This is a Magic Potion that can enhance a Knight’s strength.”
Elron explained, “I can dilute this Magic Potion for use by Knights of Golden Level and below.”
Ronin’s eyes lit up.
Knights typically increased their strength only through their own Cultivation. So far, he had never seen a Knight enhance their power by chugging potions or spending vast sums of money.
’This Support Enhancement Potion from Elron could probably produce a batch of experts for Wubei Territory.’
“How much of this potion does it take for someone to advance from Intermediate to Advanced Level?”
“That’s hard to say.”
Elron shook his head slightly. “It depends on the individual’s absorption capacity and their tolerance to the potion. Generally speaking, it’s most effective when used right before a breakthrough.”
He paused, perhaps feeling his description was inaccurate, and added, “Of course, it can be used at other times too. But if you use it too often, like eating it for every meal, its effects will gradually diminish.”
Ronin nodded. “I understand.”
His dream of breaking through after just a few doses of a potion was shattered, but the potion was still incredibly valuable.
Many people get stuck at a certain realm for their entire lives, unable to break through via their own Cultivation. The Support Enhancement Potion offered them another chance.
“Are the ingredients for this potion very rare?” Ronin asked.
“Yes!”
Elron nodded without hesitation. “It requires Fury Flame Grass, Dream Flower, Magic Crystal Dust, and Pure Water Essence.”
“Fury Flame Grass makes a Knight’s Fighting Qi churn and their aura become volatile, while Dream Flower perfectly neutralizes this effect. The Magic Crystal Dust is made by combining these two ingredients with Magic Crystal Stone. Add to that the Pure Water Essence, which must be refined by a Water Attribute Senior Mage. By combining these four materials through specific techniques and steps, you can stimulate a Knight’s potential and increase their strength.”
Ronin frowned as he listened.
The Magic Crystal Dust and Pure Water Essence weren’t a problem. The former could be bought, and the latter could be handled by Jenny.
But he had never heard of the other two ingredients, Fury Flame Grass and Dream Flower.
’Ingredients used to make such a High-Tier potion are probably not common items.’
“When you have time, compile the required ingredients for the Magic Potion into a book. Remember to only include basic information like their appearance, characteristics, and suitable growing regions. Don’t include the specific potion-making process.”
Ronin said, “That way, we can help you search for them.”
’Elron and the others should focus their energy on research. The task of finding ingredients can be left to Pearson and his people.’
He suddenly thought of Miroslav.
As the manager of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce in Wushan Territory, he surely had more information than the people at the Pasture City branch.
Lurans’s birthday was coming up at the end of the year. If Ronin could meet Miroslav at Wushan Castle, he might be able to ask him about it.
Next, Ronin asked Elron about his magic and memories.
After becoming a Great Mage, Elron had mastered a new spell: the Light Burst Skill. It was an advanced version of the Light Binding Skill.
Simply put, he could form solid Chains of light to trap an enemy, then detonate those Chains to inflict significant explosive damage.
This also served to strengthen Elron’s combat capabilities.
Coupled with his instant-cast Flash Skill and Punishment Skill, Elron was no longer someone who could be easily handled by any random Knight.
As for the recovery of his memories…
Ronin had always felt that Elron and the other two were connected to this world, so he was hoping to gain more information through the awakening of their memories.
Unfortunately, his wish had not yet come true.
However, it wasn’t a complete failure. At least this time, a specific location name appeared in his memory: Flame Canyon.
After some more conversation, Elron left the room.
Ronin leaned back in his soft chair. ’With a Mage like Elron around, Magic Potions could become a major industry for Wubei Territory in the future, possibly even more profitable than silk and Porcelain.’
However, establishing a production line for Magic Potions would require far more specialized personnel, making it significantly more difficult than producing silk and Porcelain.
After mulling over the matter of the Magic Potions, Ronin’s attention returned to upgrading Elron.
Although he could use the system to improve their talent, the Energy Essence cost had also increased.
’Increasing a Mage’s talent from Seventh-level to Eighth-level costs an extra 4,500 Energy Essence. For a Knight, based on the 1.5x rule, it should be 3,000 points. And Macken’s talent is only Sixth-level.’
’In other words, to make Macken a Silver Moon Knight, I’ll need to upgrade his talent twice.’
’Even though the total Energy Essence for those two upgrades might be about the same as Elron’s single upgrade, it’s still four to five thousand points.’
’If I invested all that Energy Essence into Ridder, the returns would undoubtedly be much greater.’
’After all, Ridder has Ninth Level Proud Sun Talent, so he doesn’t have any extra costs.’
After some thought, Ronin adjusted his priority for strengthening his three followers—
Once Elron becomes a Magic Master, the majority of the Energy Essence would be prioritized for Ridder.
As for Macken, his first Knight follower, Ronin planned to raise his strength to the Meteor Level.
’Silver Level and Golden Level are still not impressive enough. Only by reaching Meteor Level can one truly command respect in a region.’
’By then, Wubei Territory will have four Transcendents at Seventh-level or higher. That’s a terrifying amount of top-tier combat power.’
Ronin believed that as long as he could bolster his low and mid-tier forces, his grand ambitions were well within reach.
KNOCK KNOCK…
The door was tapped twice, and Bella entered from outside. “My lord, Yusuf wishes to see you.”
“Have him come in at once!”
Ronin stood up with a smile to welcome him.
Yusuf was not only a talented Senior Mage, but he also had Viscount Sandro of Lingchuan City behind him. Having someone like him choose to follow was an even rarer opportunity than when Marvin Viscount had sent over his second son, Rogner.
Soon, a dashing Yusuf, dressed in a Mage’s Robe, walked in.
“I just heard from Teacher Elron that you had returned, so I came to pay my respects at once!”
Yusuf bowed slightly. “Greetings, Lord Count!”
“It is my honor that Wubei Territory has attracted a talent like you to join us.”
Ronin smiled. “You’ve taken Elron as your teacher?”
“From Teacher Elron, I have learned many techniques that I never mastered at the Magic Academy.”
Yusuf seemed almost reverent about the study of Magic Potions. “I am very fortunate that my family made the decision for me to come to Wubei Territory. Otherwise, I would have missed out on all this knowledge.”
From this statement, it was clear that Yusuf’s presence in Wubei Territory wasn’t his decision alone, but a collective one made by the Rive Clan.
’It seems many people in Wushan Territory now see me as the future Lord of Wushan Territory.’
“This is a letter my father wrote for you.” Yusuf handed over a letter.
Ronin took it and began to read it carefully.
Sandro’s letter wasn’t long. The first half was filled with compliments—phrases about him being young and promising, having a heroic bearing, and so on.
The middle section briefly introduced Yusuf, asking Ronin to provide him with good training opportunities.
The last and most important point was an offer: if Wubei Territory’s development was hindered by a lack of grain, Lingchuan City could provide it at a low price.
It was a very friendly letter.
Ronin folded it, placed it back in its envelope, and said to Yusuf with a smile,
“Please thank Viscount Sandro for his trust in me. I will cherish this friendship from the Wushan Clan and the Rive Clan, and I hope you will find the knowledge and Power you seek here in Wubei Territory!”
