Chapter 39: 39

The Situation Regarding Pharmacology

After looking to and fro at the 15 bottles of high-tier precious-grade potions of all three types lined up in three rows, Viya slowly retracted her gaze.

These three potions were the “spiritual origin contract potion”, “seven senses potion”, and “nethersoul potion”. They were all high-tier precious potions that Summoners needed when performing their contract rituals.

With these potions, when she did the contract ritual, the lifeform that she summoned would be at least twice as strong as the average one.

If these potions were used over a long period, she would be able to raise the power of her spirituality, senses, and soul.

In the past, she would have to gain approval from the Pioneer Corps after sending a request for them, but now, she easily got these 15 potions that were not inferior to the ones that she would obtain through the request.

Looking at these potions, Viya knew internally that Gurney was likely the genuine deal, like what Baron Tram had told her teacher. He was a true Pharmacist genius.

A completely monstrous genius in the aspect of pharmacology.

This Gurney did not stop once when he was processing the herbs. When observing the supernatural materials, he did not even need any tools to help him. That means he has a perception ability that can directly see medicinal traits. What a terrifying talent!

Thinking so, Viya could not help but sigh to herself.

And having a direct perception ability that allows him to observe medicinal traits is necessary on the road to becoming a Pharmacist Grandmaster.

One can say that this Gurney is very likely to possess the potential of becoming a Pharmacist Grandmaster. In fact, he is already half a step to becoming Grandmaster level.

Pharmacist Grandmaster, a peak existence in the entire world of pharmacology.

Few would even appear in one generation.

And most importantly, he is only seventeen.

After some surging emotions subsided, Viya finally calmed the tides in her heart.

“Being able to create high-tier precious potions so easily means that you already have the ability of a Specialist Pharmacist.” Viya looked at Gurney with a solemn expression. “But in the report, I will write that you have the ability of a high-tier Pharmacist. This is a form of protection towards you.”

“I understand.” Gurney nodded. He understood the logic that the winds howl around the highest peaks.

If not for the fact that being a high-tier Pharmacist was more beneficial in the Pioneer Corps, Gurney would rather Viya write him down as a low-tier Pharmacist.

“Even a high-tier Pharmacist, within the Pioneer Corps or even the entire Jade Orchid Supernatural Association, would receive quite some attention. However, this is much better than the commotion from the appearance of a new Specialist Pharmacist,” said Viya.

Next, she looked at Gurney. “Since we have already decided on it and Sir Gurney possesses the qualifications of a Specialist Pharmacist… Soon after I send the request, Teacher will have people deliver the materials. Afterwards, Sir Gurney will need to start concocting high-tier precious potions.”

Gurney raised his brows; their work efficiency shocked him. “I just completed the test, and you are already arranging new work for me? My new job starts so quickly?”

“Of course!” Viya did not hide anything from Gurney as she immediately explained, “Our Pioneer Corps is quite independent in the Jade Orchid Supernatural Association. We have high autonomy. After all, the internal factions of the Association are just too big. They cannot operate efficiently.

“Furthermore… Specialist Pharmacists are just too few. Within our Pioneer Corps, we have many geniuses, but only a few Specialist Pharmacists for now. In comparison, we have much more supernatural materials. In fact, at times, we even sell some of the excess supernatural materials.

“Thus, we would like Sir Gurney to quickly start working on high-tier precious potions and gain proficiency in them. We have a deeper objective, which is—”

“The secret mark potions,” Gurney quickly replied.

“Indeed!” Viya nodded. “Specialist Pharmacists are qualified to concoct secret mark potions, as well as doing the related research on them. But in Sir Gurney’s case, you are still not very familiar with the process of making high-tier precious potions.

“Thus, we need to let you concoct many of them in this period of time. One of the reasons is to provide high-tier precious potions for our Pioneer Corps. The other reason is to raise your proficiency in dealing with all sorts of supernatural herbs so that you will be able to create secret mark potions more easily in the future, or even create your own type of secret mark potion.”

“Yes, I know. I am quite interested in secret mark potions too.” Gurney smiled lightly.

Secret mark potions were powerful potions that were able to directly increase one’s attributes.

And most importantly, by consuming secret mark potions, one could raise their “supernatural trait” in that particular aspect.

Otherwise, to raise one’s supernatural trait, the only method was to advance in tier. There was currently no other reliable way than advancing in one’s tier to raise one’s supernatural trait.

Even though some supernatural fruits of great age could do that too, there was only an extremely rare chance of it happening.

By consuming those fruits that contained powerful supernatural medicinal traits, most of the time, unpredictable supernatural trait mutations would occur instead.

Mutation, loss of control, or even insanity were all possible outcomes. One could even grow an extra arm or head.

If the secret mark potion that could raise one’s supernatural trait was formulated, then it would create a whole new era in the supernatural world. It would be a noble invention that would break the stale situation of the world that had remained unchanged for countless years.

Raising the supernatural trait was the most powerful aspect of secret mark potions.

One could assume that once secret mark potions were concocted in mass quantities, the entire supernatural world would undergo a revolution.

After all, the supernatural trait was too important for a Transcendent.

The supernatural trait. One could see it as the “essence” of a Transcendent.

Currently, there were no clear classifications to describe and explain the details of this “supernatural trait”.

In fact, every person had a different understanding and view of the concept of the supernatural trait.

In Gurney’s perspective, supernatural traits had a clear form of expression — hierarchy! It could be expressed as “ordinary monster”, “elite monster”, and “boss monster”.

People with weaker supernatural traits were comparable to ordinary monsters. For example, the humans who only obtained an ordinary class with certain supernatural traits but did not go and learn combat techniques, skills, or spells. These ordinary Transcendents were simply stronger and had more lifespan compared to the average human.

Those with stronger supernatural traits were equivalent to elite monsters. For example, with Lycan, Demonic Snake, and Blood-kin, they were supernatural classes with higher star ranks.

At the same hierarchy…

Consider the ordinary tier-one Transcendent Brawler and a tier-one Lycan. The difference between the two was huge.

In terms of physical defense, the Lycan surpassed an average Brawler.

In terms of physical strength, the Lycan surpassed an average Brawler.

In terms of physical speed, the Lycan surpassed an average Brawler.

In terms of reaction speed, the Lycan surpassed an average Brawler.

A tier-one Lycan could easily kill five to six tier-one Brawlers.

As for a rare supernatural class, like the six-star or seven-star Brawler class, at tier one, they would not be inferior to Lycans in terms of defense, strength, speed, or reaction speed. They might even be stronger than the Lycan warrior.

The supernatural traits of these six- and seven-star Transcendents, as well as the Lycan, Demonic Snake, and Blood-kin, far surpassed that of an ordinary Brawler.

However, if the supernatural trait was improved further and became quite dense, the lifeform’s trait would undergo a huge change.

The most signature lifeforms were Dragons, Titans, Demons, Behemoths, and Angels. These powerful lifeforms were equivalent to “boss monsters”.

Even at tier one, when a six- or seven-star human Transcendent faced these “boss monsters”, the chance of survival would be very small.

“Hierarchy” was a form of expression of the supernatural trait that Gurney understood.

There were, of course, many ways to describe supernatural traits, for example, one’s compatibility with origin force and spells.

The number of supernatural traits that each hierarchy obtained with every advancement of a tier varied.

The upper limit of growth for lower hierarchies was often due to the restraints of their supernatural trait.

And just in terms of hierarchy, many Transcendents would be able to gain more supernatural traits from the secret mark potion.

It could allow them to go from “ordinary monster” to “ordinary monster +1”, and “ordinary monster +2” later.

They could then go from ordinary monster +2 to an “elite monster” before becoming +1, +2, and +3 again.

Using secret mark potions to elevate themselves to the next hierarchy would be possible.

In theory, with sufficient secret mark potions, and after becoming sufficiently strong, it could even be possible for a human to fight against a 100-meter dragon of the same tier using just his body.

Of course, this was only in theory. As for the actual situation, they had to wait for the secret mark potion to be truly created and consumed for a long period of time before an actual conclusion could be made.

As for now, the pharmaceutical theory of secret mark potions had opened the door of the future for the Pharmacists to look forward to.

Currently, the concoction of secret mark potions was still at the initial stage, and progress was very slow. After all, this was something that only Specialist Pharmacists could research, and there were very few of such people now.

Even though they managed to gain some effective results, on the whole, the current supernatural medicinal traits of these secret mark potion prototypes were still weak; some even had negative side effects.

It was obvious that once Gurney or someone else made a breakthrough in this aspect, the influence would be colossal.

This was also why after Gurney’s information was reported to them, Viya was sent over immediately.

If they wanted to make progress in this aspect, they would need to have an extremely deep and clear understanding of the various herbs.

Then there was a need to mass-concoct the potions.

This was also the reason why Viya wanted Gurney to quickly start making potions.

Right now, the creation of secret mark potions was the new trend of this era and was the aspect with the most undercurrents.
