Although Wizard Vladi appeared ungroomed and rather laid-back, he was, in fact, most concentrated when he was making potions. Every step was taken with extreme caution and of utmost accuracy. 

With Merlin's accurate test tube, Wizard Vladi would not make a single mistake.

After a long time in preparing the potion, finally, Wizard Vladi added the last bit of potion material and began to heat up his potion.

"Hiss…"

The viscous potion in the glassware was initially green but it had slowly turned ink black after boiling vigorously. Moreover, there was a pungent smell to it.

Wizard Vladi stared intensely at the ink black potion in the glassware. He could not withhold the surprise on his face. After the potion in the glassware had turned completely black, Wizard Vladi smelled it.

Then, an unconcealable excitement appeared on Wizard Vladi's face. He muttered with a shivering voice, "Haha. I did it. I really did it! The potion I've prepared for half a year… I've finally made it!"

Wizard Vladi was overwhelmed with elation, then carefully carried the potion with both his hands. He squinted his eyes as if he was intoxicated by it.

Merlin was also surprised by Vladi. He was truly skilled in potion-making. Merlin only pointed out a small issue in Wizard Vladi's potion-making process. After he had corrected the issue, he immediately made the potion successfully.

From Merlin's point of view, this was simply incredible. If he was to follow the steps as outlined by the Matrix without a single mistake, he probably could not even succeed in preparing Alkaline Earth Potion. Merlin lacked in skills when it came to potion-making.

Without experience, Merlin's success rate in potion-making could not be improved even with the Matrix's help. Meanwhile, Wizard Vladi was obviously more skilled in potion-making than Merlin.

"Good stuff. It's so rare to have such accurate glassware!"

Wizard Vladi held the test tube which Merlin lent him and was reluctant to let go of it. Merlin gave a small smile. "Since Wizard Vladi likes it, I'll give this glassware to Wizard Vladi."

There were many glassware like these in the Resource Tower. With some contribution points, he could easily exchange for it. Moreover, before Merlin had left the Dark Magic Region, he had prepared many glassware needed to make potions. It was nothing for him to give away a test tube.

"Wizard Vladi, what's the effect of this Alkaline Earth Potion?"

Merlin glanced at the black potion in Wizard Vladi's hands with an odd expression. The name of this potion was strange enough, so Merlin asked this question.

"Hehe, the effect of Alkaline Earth Potion, huh?"

Wizard Vladi raised his head and looked at the Alchemy Creature beside Wizard Burton. Then, he handed the potion to Wizard Burton and said calmly, "Wizard Burton, let your 'pet' swallow this Alkaline Earth Potion."

"This is a potion for Alchemy Creature?"

Wizard Burton was doubtful, but he still allowed his Alchemy Creature to take this potion.

After a moment, the woman's face blushed red and her entire body inflated like a balloon. Her large veins could be seen vaguely under her skin and were expanding frantically. Blood rushed throughout her body and an immense pressure was building up around her. She gave the impression as if she was about to go berserk.

"Howl!"

Suddenly, the woman howled toward the sky in a sharp voice. At the same time, the greenish scales on her body seemed to have stained with a layer of a mysterious black substance which made her seemed more intimidating.

Wizard Vladi nodded in satisfaction and said to Wizard Burton, "Wizard Burton, you can test your 'pet' now."

Wizard Burton nodded, then pointed to a large tree in the yard.

"Swish!"

The woman's figure flashed and reappeared in front of the tree. Then, she released a punch.

"Bang!"

The enormous force caused the tree to split into two. If there was even the slightest of wind, the tree would have toppled over. 

Meanwhile, everyone stared wide-eyed at the woman's punch. Even Wizard Burton was bewildered by the scene. The speed and force presented by the woman in a red shirt had almost increased by two to three times.

Improving by about three times in an instant was terrifying. How dominating was this potion? At once, Wizard Burton let out an agitated gaze at Wizard Vladi.

"Hehe. You see that? That's the effect of Alkaline Earth Potion, specially made for Alchemy Creature. Once it's taken, attributes like speed, force, and more will be improved by two to four times. In addition, the effect can last for about two to three hours!"

Wizard Vladi briefly explained the effect of Alkaline Earth Potion. This potion was made specifically for Alchemy Creature. Normies could not take it because this potion came with the risk of death. Many Normies would die immediately from taking this potion.

Meanwhile, Alchemy Creature had a strong physique and possessed all sorts of abilities. Since they did not have conscious, they could take the strong effects of this potion. Moreover, the potion had no side-effects and did not require the consumption of life force. After taking the potion, the Alchemy Creature had to rest for a while before resuming to a normal state.

"Alright, alright. Wizard Vladi, do you have more Alkaline Earth Potions? Give me a few. Just name the number of elemental crystal stones you need!"

Wizard Burton immediately realized the importance of Alkaline Earth Potion. Once he had this potion in hand, his Alchemy Creature could release enormous strength at crucial moments. She could surely turn the tables around and even kill his enemy.

As soon as Alkaline Earth Potion appeared in the market, it would definitely be welcomed by countless alchemists. After all, many alchemists only focused on studying Alchemy Creature and would not spend their time studying other things.

Thus, many apothecaries were studying some sorts of strange potions which could not be used on Normies. However, they could have an unexpected effect on the strong Alchemy Creatures.

Therefore, the Alchemy Creatures of many alchemists would utilize the potions made by apothecaries. For example, the potion used to erase Normies' memories was made by these apothecaries. They had provided a convenient option for alchemists in controlling their Alchemy Creatures.

Upon hearing that Wizard Burton wanted more Alkaline Earth potion, Wizard Vladi shook his head slightly. "The materials needed to make Alkaline Earth Potion are too precious. It's not something that can be used by any normal alchemists. Moreover, I just succeeded in making it. If I want to continue making it, it will take me a long time to do so."

Wizard Vladi's words were clear. If Wizard Burton wanted more Alkaline Earth Potion, he would have to wait.

Wizard Burton showed an expectant look, but he soon recovered. After looking at Merlin and the black-robed old man, he slapped his forehead hard and said regretfully, "I almost forgot what I came here for. Wizard Vladi, let me introduce you. These are Wizard Merlin and Wizard Hill. They just came to Floating City to buy some precious potion materials to make potions."

Wizard Vladi just accepted the exquisite test tube Merlin gave, so he laughed generously. "So Wizard Merlin wanted some potion materials. Seeing that Wizard Merlin can point out the mistakes in my potion-making process, I figured that you must be knowledgeable in potions as well. We can surely discuss it in the future."

After a pause, Wizard Vladi asked, "What sort of potion materials does Wizard Merlin want? Feel free to name them."

Wizard Vladi was rather confident. He had been studying potions all his life and had also earned a fortune from selling potions. Most of his money was used to buy potion materials, so he was confident that he would have the potion materials that Merlin needed.

Merlin nodded, then told Wizard Vladi about the potion materials he needed to make Phantasmal Magic Potion and Blueberry Potion. The latter appeared relaxed at first, but his expression gradually turned awkward as the potion materials Merlin said became more and more precious.

At last, Merlin had mentioned all the potion materials he needed but Wizard Vladi had lost all his confidence. He was left with a bitter expression.

"Wizard Merlin, the potion materials you mentioned, especially Blueberry. I'm sure you want to make Blueberry Potion from that, right? Blueberry Potion is only used to increase Mind Power. Could it be that your Mind Power is insufficient at this point?"

Wizard Vladi wore a questioning look. After all, most Spell Casters encountered issues in constructing spells, especially complicated spells that were difficult to construct. Thus, most Spell Casters would not lack in Mind Power. Rather, they lacked the Spell Models that suited them.

Merlin did not explain further. He knew that he was troubled and limited by his Mind Power rather than lacking suitable Spell Models because of the Matrix.

Wizard Vladi thought for a moment, then took some potion materials out from his ring. He pointed at these potion materials. "I only have this number of materials for Blueberry Potion. I figured you can make a few Blueberry Potions from this. For the other potion materials that Wizard Merlin needed, I don't have them. Some large-scale stores in Floating City may have them, but the price… Tsk, they'll be expensive."

Merlin looked at the materials of Blueberry Potion with satisfaction. After all, Phantasmal Magic Potion was an ancient potion formula; it was a potion used by ancient Shamans. It was expected that Wizard Vladi did not have the materials for Phantasmal Magic Potion.

With these materials for Blueberry Potion, Merlin could also increase his Mind Power rapidly. He would be able to improve his Mind Power to an extent where it could support another construction of a First-level spell.

Wizard Vladi gave these materials to Merlin for free. He could have done it because he wanted to return the favor to Merlin who had helped him in preparing Alkaline Earth Potion and for gifting him the accurate glassware.

"Wizard Merlin, I can see that you're talented in making potions. If you have time, you're welcomed to look for me here so we can exchange our experiences in potion-making."

Wizard Vladi invited Merlin sincerely to exchange knowledge and experience in potion-making if he had time.

Merlin also nodded. "If I have time, I'll surely visit Wizard Vladi again!"

After saying that, Merlin, the black-robed old man, and Wizard Burton bade Wizard Vladi goodbye and quickly left Wizard Vladi's residence.
