Punk's arrangements for Bilan were really cumbersome, like; cleaning the white tower, processing the experimental materials, and taking care of the group of slaves in the basement.

Of course, Punk was not stingy in terms of remuneration. He made a room inscribed with the elemental affinity magic formation for Bilan and also gave her five apprentice-level alchemy spell models as a meeting ceremony gift from the mentor. So compare to other mages who hardly shared any knowledge with other people, Punk could be said to be very generous.

However, Bilan still seemed very dissatisfied with this kind of arrangement where Punk was treating her as a golem. Although he paid her a lot, it looked like that she would rather receive nothing than accepting the task of cleaning up those piles of corpses.

But Punk had too many experiments to do, so he didn't pay any attention to the little girl's dissatisfaction.

After sending Bilan to get acquainted with the White Tower and ordering her not to disturb him during his experiment, Punk returned to the experiment platform again and devoted all his energy to the official-level alchemy potion that he found from McNeesey's notes.

Perhaps because McNeesey was a mage who specialized in elemental magic, he had a very shallow experience in alchemy potions. The formulas of alchemy potions collected by him were so few and pitiful that they were completely inconsistent with his old and long-lived official mage identity.

Punk rummaged through the seven or eight notebooks that he found in the McNeesey's ring and got only three official alchemy potion formulas, one of which was even incomplete.

However, these three formulas were the kind of rare potions that could be used as trump cards. Punk had a hunch that McNeesey most likely obtained these three excellent quality potion formulas using some improper means; after all, if someone had this kind of trump card quality potion formula, it was very unlikely that they would trade them with others.

To put it bluntly, each of these three potions could save One's life at a critical moment, especially the one called "Activation Potion."

Punk was holding a crumpled piece of burnt yellow parchment, but he was very careful not to touch the flashing green runes on this shabby parchment.

Those runes were a magic formation. And once it detected any physical contact of any creature, or the magic formation itself was invaded by some external energy, it would immediately release a powerful corrosive compound on the paper and turn the entire piece of parchment paper into energy and ash.

This kind of meticulous arrangement also showed that the previous owner of the parchment paper gave great importance to the information recorded on it.

The full name of the activation potion recorded on the parchment was-"Lovska's Temporary Soul Potential Activation Potion," but Punk simply referred to it as the "Activation Potion."

Punk took a breath after analyzing the scribbled writing on the parchment paper using the system. The results of the system's analysis clearly listed the information obtained from the parchment.

Potion Name: Lovska's Official Level Temporary Soul Potential Activation Potion, Modified Version-7.30…

Potion formula: Stable soul fragments of intelligent creatures (below the official level), Obsession of the dead, liquefied happiness, Solidified pain, Ghost sparks, Munnar green vine powder, and Misery grass.

Potion level: official level.

Potion's Effect: After taking this Potion, the souls of creatures below the official level would explode within three minutes.

For Official-level creatures, it would increase their energy recovery speed (Holy/Devine energy is excluded) by a maximum of 7.5 times and a minimum of 4.6 times within 15 minutes after taking the Potion. (This estimate may vary a little from person to person)

After taking this Potion, Master-level creatures would experience an increase in their energy recovery speed by a maximum of 2.3 times and a minimum of 1.2 times within three minutes. (except for the Holy/Devine energy) (Effect might Vary slightly from person to person)

If Legendary or above creatures took this Potion, it would only help them quench their thirst.

Potion's side effects: After the Potion's effect ended, the energy recovery speed of that person who used the Potion would be greatly reduced for the next 100 magic hours, and the reduction rate would be equivalent to the increase rate during the Potion's effective period.

Note:

1. Repeated use of this medicine was likely to damage One's soul, and in some severe cases, it might cause One's soul to be fragmented.

2. If this medicine was used simultaneously with other Potential activating medicines, it was likely to produce unknown effects. From the system's analysis, the probability that the unknown effect would be a negative effect is as high as 90% or more.

3. Repeated use of this medicine has a chance of causing One's level to fall.

Although It had some very tricky side effects, still the Activation Potion's powerful effects could not be ignored. If this Potion was used in a battle, a six or seven times increase in energy recovery speed meant that One could use that many more skills or spell without worrying about energy reserve.

If the Potion was used after the battle, it meant that One's energy could be restored very quickly, and even if they had to enter another battle immediately, they would not face much trouble.

Receiving this kind of life-saving trump card, Punk was very excited. One must know that as an official-level mage who had just been promoted, the spells Punk used were not that rare, so what he lacked at present was the kind of trump cards that most experienced mages had. Therefore, the discovery of this Potion was bound to make Punk happy.

But the difficulty of refining such rare and powerful potions also could not be underestimated. And Punk, who had experienced more than a dozen failures in the last month, knew this word "difficulty" very well.

Now, there were dozens of looming irregular blue light fragments floating in Punk's palm. If One listened carefully, these fragments seemed to be still screaming and wailing while floating up and down, and sporadic flashing of light burst out from these fragments from time to time. These Shining light fragments were the soul fragments of intelligent creatures that Punk has just cut out.

Punk frowned and used some mana to fiddle with the chaotic soul fragments carefully, but the reaction of the fragments made him very dissatisfied. Not only did their chaos not calm down with time, but they became even more crazy and twisted.

These souls fragments were drawn from the body of a young man, now the body of that poor slave young man was curled up on the floor, and every inch of the body's muscles was tight and distorted. Which showed how much pain he experienced while his soul was being pulled out from his body.

Punk kicked this body in an irritable mode and sent it to the group of bodies in the corner. He also threw away the imprisoned soul fragments and allowed them to be swallowed by the illusory long river of time. For these suffering souls, such an end might seem a kind of relief, but there was a possibility that it might not be the case.

Slowly kneading his temples, Punk complained about the difficulty of this potion formula in his mind.

According to the instructions on the formula, the core ingredient of this "Activation potion" was the "stable soul fragments of intelligent creatures below the official level." But no creature wanted its soul to be manipulated by others, not to mention that the pain of being cut into pieces was enough to make any intelligent creature, with insufficient soul level, go crazy. So after such a painful operation, the soul fragments became distorted and full of madness.

Even after investing a lot of his time and energy, Punk didn't get any results. So now, even with his indifferent personality, Punk had an urge to smash things at this time. But in the end, Punk only took a few deep breaths and calmed down as anger not only wouldn't help him find a solution to this problem, but it would only worsen the state of his mind.

After calming down, he told Bilan with a short-range messaging spell to go to the basement and bring a few slaves up, and he picked up the shabby parchment and started to read it again, looking for any details that he might have missed previously.
