Beep! Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lan Qingyou could fully savor her little moment of pride, Shang Chuan sent a message through the Magic Desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magic Desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After it was upgraded, Lan Qingyou had moved it right next to the West Tower Alchemy Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was where she spent most of her time, relocating it here simply made things more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did Shang Chuan use the Magic Desk instead of directly sending a message through the much more convenient Tarot Manor Card?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puzzled, Lan Qingyou carried the potion in her hand over to the Magic Desk, where she read Shang Chuan's message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Regarding the compensation for the Three-Eyed Raven incident, I've drafted a proposal after cleaning things up on my end. Take a look at the [Compensation List].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So it's just about the compensation. I wondered what was going on,' she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the message, Lan Qingyou curled her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, she was actually grateful to that person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn't been for the \"Variable X\" introduced by the Three-Eyed Raven's eyeball, the Witch's Potion Lan Qingyou created probably wouldn't have unlocked the Magic Eye as a racial talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, even if the Sap of Knowledge had triggered a racial talent, it likely wouldn't have been the Magic Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the randomness of such things was simply too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was glaringly obvious from the random geographical knowledge she had acquired earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, having the Three-Eyed Raven's eyeball act as an anchor for Variable X had successfully shaped the current Witch Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be entirely unreasonable not to show some gratitude for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou didn't even bother opening the list Shang Chuan sent before replying: \"There's no need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Don't worry about this matter anymore. Do me a favor and ask him if there are any races within the Manor he prefers. I'll get an evolution item for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan was completely baffled. Hadn't she been extremely strict about this before? Why the sudden change of heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he had no idea of the underlying reasons, and Lan Qingyou had no intention of explaining the intricate details to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you kidding? That information was practically a secret recipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a secret even more heavily guarded than the Five Dragons Reincarnation Magic Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she might be willing to sell a magic array, there was absolutely no way Lan Qingyou would ever share the formula for the Witch's Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word \"lineage\" alone said it all. If someone else used their own blood to brew the Witch's Potion, it would be the equivalent of starting a completely new lineage of Witches outside of Lan Qingyou's control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wouldn't be the end of the world, and Lan Qingyou wouldn't particularly mind the existence of another lineage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would still be an annoying hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone managed to research and invent it on their own, that was one thing, but she definitely wasn't going to deliberately invite trouble upon herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Alright, I'll ask him for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan immediately turned to ask his subordinate, and received a reply in less than half a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"He said he wants the Witch's Potion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Are you sure a guy wants the Witch's Potion? Is he into gender-bending or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"She is a woman. When did I ever say she was a man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uhh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou froze for a second when she read Shang Chuan's reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Right, why couldn't she be a woman?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just assumed the subordinate was male when Shang Chuan mentioned them earlier. She never expected it to be a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Fine, I'll give it to her. However, I don't have any on hand right now, so she will have to wait until I brew another batch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Alright, I'll let her know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Shang Chuan turned around and went to relay the news to his subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be entirely honest, Shang Chuan breathed a huge sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just because of the compensation issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the problem this time was partly due to his own poor management, and the offended party was none other than Lan Qingyou, the \"Number One Person of Blue Star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he had been fully prepared to accept whatever astronomical compensation she demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined that Lan Qingyou would completely waive the compensation and actually turn around to reward his subordinate instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn't know the exact reason, Shang Chuan was practically overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"joy\" didn't solely stem from avoiding a hefty payout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came from the thrilling realization that an Alchemist was about to be born within his own team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Lan Qingyou joined Tarot Manor, her need for the supplies he provided had steadily decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he and she were still technically business partners...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to their former \"intimacy,\" their relationship had now been reduced to a fragile connection held together by a single mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, he naturally couldn't buy up potions from Lan Qingyou in massive bulk like he used to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things were different now. With Lan Qingyou's approval, a Witch would emerge from within his own ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what exactly was a Witch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A race fundamentally modified and enhanced for Alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that happened, would he ever have to worry about a lack of potions to sell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the only reason his subordinate had asked for the Witch's Potion was because they had thoroughly discussed it beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, an elated Shang Chuan informed her that Lan Qingyou had agreed to provide the Witch's Potion, and simultaneously dumped a massive pile of Alchemy books on her, ordering her to study hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate who received the books simply stared at them, completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait, I just wanted to become a Witch, and you're making me read books?' she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of doubting her life choices, she remembered Shang Chuan's previous instructions. Left with no other choice, she braced herself and began to pore over the dense material, displaying far more diligence than she ever had during her school days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, words of advice often fell on deaf ears, but the harsh lessons of reality only needed to be taught once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a world fraught with deadly peril. Only by becoming someone like a Witch could she possess the strength to protect herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of her former cellmates had died right in front of her eyes when the first Mana Tide struck, and she absolutely refused to follow in their footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm... the Witch's Potion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her discussion with Shang Chuan, Lan Qingyou leaned back against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This item definitely needed to be brewed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the current population of Witches was only a little over ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lan Qingyou didn't intend to use her status as the Origin Witch to establish herself as some sort of supreme mob boss...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having more Witches around provided her with one incredibly immense benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It provided her with inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, inspiration was something that could only be stumbled upon by chance; it couldn't be sought out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if there were more Witches—or rather, more Alchemists—gathering together to discuss alchemical topics, it would serve as an endless, flowing spring of inspiration for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had learned this exact principle from the discussion seminars at Tarot Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this matter wasn't urgent. She still had other tasks on hand, and expanding the Witch Clan required some serious time and careful planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Lan Qingyou took out the Dark Demon's Monster Crystal Core and a few alchemy materials she had prepared earlier, beginning to ponder how to brew a C-rank Talent Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1420,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","06bd9ba33937a446fa3f3176a36306430a30858b61d75658a0a4346973f2baca","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-205","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-203",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
