Chapter 495: Upgrading to S-Rank Talent

Forsaken Territory, Typhon City Witch Habitat.

Lan Qingyou had locked herself in the Alchemy workshop for the past period of time.

Currently, there were several tasks before her that needed to be completed.

These tasks were basically necessities related to the several elements she wanted before, such as 'protecting Witches', 'increasing mystery', and 'being as high-profile as possible'.

After several days of research, she had finally come up with an answer as to what kind of results she specifically wanted.

And now, Lan Qingyou had entered the phase of attempting production.

Since it was an attempt at production, naturally she had to try producing that potion first.

After obtaining so much of the Beast Emperor's meat, blood, fur, and even bones, Lan Qingyou had no reason not to produce it.

Although the Beast Emperor sounded from its name like it would be very formidable in the physical system, don't forget that when they first entered the cave, they suffered a Mental Attack coming from the heart area of the deceased Beast Emperor.

Of course, the most important thing was that there were finally materials to attempt the Talent Potion, which had always lacked materials and couldn't advance a single step.

Ever since she gained a chance to advance her talent from the last competition and smoothly upgraded her talent to A-rank, she had never found suitable materials to produce an S-rank one.

Now that she had the Beast Emperor's generous contribution, she naturally had to attempt this potion first.

Of course, the most important reason was that if she could successfully advance her rank, it would definitely be a huge boost to her plans.

"Phew——"

After a production process that lasted for as long as six days, Lan Qingyou had finally produced the S-rank Talent Potion.

With both hands resting on the table, Lan Qingyou looked at this batch of potions in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.

The development time for this Talent Potion had completely exceeded Lan Qingyou's own expectations.

It could even be said that this development was Lan Qingyou's longest production since she became an Alchemist.

She had never thought that developing a new potion could take so much time.

However, when she developed potions before, it was always a mess of random things. For example, the Talent Potion was last produced when it was at B-rank.

And then it directly jumped to S-rank.

Although the difficulty had indeed more than doubled all at once, it also indirectly showed the difficulty of producing an S-rank Talent Potion.

Or it could be understood that the difficulty required to advance from A-rank to S-rank was greatly increased.

But it wasn't hard to understand.

After all, S-rank could already be considered a Talent Grade that many people dreamed of.

Further up were the two ranks of SS-rank and SSS-rank.

Pop!

Facing a one percent success rate, Lan Qingyou didn't hesitate at all and drank the first bottle of Talent Potion.

"Hmm... this time it's cherry flavored, tastes a bit sour."

Lan Qingyou, who didn't expect to win the jackpot with the first bottle at all, placed more of her focus on the taste of the potion.

Don't underestimate this.

The reason why the Witch Clan's potions sold better than those made by other Alchemists was, besides their efficacy, their taste.

Just imagine, who wouldn't want to recover Health Value or Mana Value while drinking juice.

However, Lan Qingyou wouldn't foolishly wait until her talent upgraded before taking action either.

She still had quite a few tasks to busy herself with right now.

Thus, Lan Qingyou threw herself into another research project while drinking the Talent Potion for fun.

Meanwhile.

While Lan Qingyou was working hard, the Witches were also working hard.

During the period when Lan Qingyou was conducting experiments, the members of the Workshop Faction also successively moved back into Typhon City.

Because previously, they were scattered out because they were needed to stabilize the Magic Array of the entire region.

As Witches who were also top scholars and straight-A students, they also liked quieter research environments, so they had all agreed to the dispatch.

But the incident of this Forsaken War let them know exactly how vile humans could be.

So apart from a small number of Witches whose shelter locations were relatively special, the rest, whether Workshop Faction members or ordinary Witches, all moved back to Typhon City from various places in the Forsaken Territory.

The various places here referred to all the Witches in the Forsaken City, Abandoned Harbor, and several other towns and villages.

In other words, after driving everyone except Witches out of the Forsaken Territory, and the Witches moving back to Typhon City, there were no other people present in the Forsaken Territory apart from a scattered few Witches outside.

But since Typhon City was big enough anyway, housing two to three hundred thousand people was completely not a problem.

Even the previous commercial districts were demolished and the Witches' respective shelters were placed there.

Of course, moving back didn't mean they had nothing to do.

The Witches already had their own things to be busy with, and their respective researches wouldn't even be interrupted if their residential locations didn't change.

At most, it just took half a day to a large part of a day to migrate their shelters back to Typhon City.

However, besides their own matters to busy themselves with, the Witches' workload was not a bit lower than Lan Qingyou's.

After the Workshop Faction members moved back, the grand Magic Array of the entire Forsaken Territory was basically equivalent to being paralyzed.

No...

Actually, at the beginning of the Forsaken War, a portion of the Magic Array had already been destroyed.

This not only resulted in the defensive capabilities failing to activate, but even the entire Magic Array suffered irreversible effects.

So, under the circumstance that the Magic Array was basically paralyzed, the materials used for the construction of the Magic Array naturally couldn't be wasted.

After recovering most of them, they could be reused.

So when the Witches had nothing to do, they would go out and recover some materials.

Firstly, it was naturally to avoid waste.

Secondly, it was used to enrich the Witch Clan's material warehouse.

Thirdly, it was because some materials were relatively precious materials, so they naturally had to be recovered if not used.

Although the Witch Clan wasn't lacking this bit of material.

But it was completed by spending all the Witch Clan's previous inventory materials and Lan Qingyou's own materials after all.

Just the recovery alone could recover quite a lot of materials.

However, rather than calling it work, to the Witches, especially those apprentice Witches who had just experienced the war, it was more like a kind of learning.

After all, it was a super-large Magic Array. Leaving aside the quality of the materials used, the sheer quantity alone was enough to make Witches with insufficient knowledge reserves flinch.

Now that there was exactly such an opportunity, Diana and Lan Qingyou naturally wouldn't let it go.

In the end, the Witch Clan was still a group with a very strong academic atmosphere.

So even those physical system Witches who seemed unrelated to learning were also studying seriously.

In short, everyone had their own goals and directions of study.

So apart from some Witches who really came to change their mood, other Witches all went with an attitude of learning.

Especially those finished products presented after being produced by Lan Qingyou or the Workshop Faction members were even more worthy of being studied and referenced by many apprentice Witches.

[Ding, your Talent Grade has been upgraded.]

On this day, just as Lan Qingyou had finished organizing the theoretical materials she needed and casually drank a bottle of Talent Potion, the voice of the world's will sounded by her ear.
