Demon Hunter and His Cabin-Chapter 1022 - 738: This Potion Is a Bit Overwhelming

"Mix the powder of Purple Citrus Flower with Blue Mist Grass, then inject the resulting solution into the shriveled eyeball."

Roger’s voice was steady, directing the experiment with mechanical precision.

"Such an operation is against common sense!"

Having endured for a long time, Valanie finally voiced her doubts, "Once Purple Citrus Flower is ground into powder, its internal juices mix with the air, forming a highly toxic substance."

"Not only that, Blue Mist Grass is an essential ingredient in hallucinogenic potions. When these two are combined, their toxicity increases exponentially. What you’ve concocted is not at all consumable."

"This is a lethal concoction!"

She retorted loudly, "Mr. Roger, don’t you plan to explain yourself?"

Valanie, always proud, had to reluctantly submit and become Roger’s assistant under Olivia’s pressure at the dining table.

But for someone like her, it would be more difficult to stop her from speaking out than to kill her. So after enduring for a long time, the accumulated negative emotions erupted all at once.

Valanie at least believed that she had some authority on potionology.

Roger halted his actions, looking at the furious Valanie.

"What, did I touch a sore spot?"

"Or is it that your so-called potion recipes were just unearthed from those bizarre tombs and have never really been experimented on?"

Her expression softened slightly, but her words remained as sharp as ever.

"Indeed, many seemingly plausible potion recipes exist in those so-called ancient relics, but as we’ve verified, most of them turn out to be mere figments of the ancients’ imagination."

"Lacking the most basic knowledge, some even stem from hallucinations induced by strong hallucinogenic potions."

At this point, Valanie smiled, "Upon a careful review, you’ll find that the majority of alchemical recipes include various hallucinogenic potions."

"Please answer my question, Mr. Roger, do you truly understand the principles behind it, or are you simply carrying out bizarre experiments by rote?"

Valanie pressed step by step.

"I have nothing to say." Roger pinched his forehead, seemingly trying to look more relaxed.

In reality, such gestures did nothing to ease his mind, but he still subconsciously orchestrated many such small movements to make his bodily actions appear more ’normal.’

"As per Madam Olivia’s orders, you’re my assistant, meant to unconditionally aid me in completing the experiment."

"Additionally..."

"Some knowledge, even if I were willing to share, you might not understand."

"Your arrogance is laughable!"

Valanie sneered, "Though I’m unsure how you’ve enhanced your body to the Transcendent Realm, I believe there’s some secret behind it."

"And my recent interactions with you have revealed your true nature; your common knowledge in potionology is pathetically lacking."

"Thus, I have every reason to doubt your abilities and whether you can accomplish what Madam Olivia expects."

Valanie trusted her judgment, a confidence stemming from countless hours of diligent study, firmly considering herself among the foremost experts in the world on potionology.

And this young man before her?

Woefully lacking knowledge and prone to making basic factual errors; her interactions over these past days cemented her judgment.

He was merely an impostor, perhaps having discovered something in some ruin and made some accomplishments.

But those achievements were not his own.

He was merely a replicator, not a discoverer.

"I must see Aerfie and expose your true nature!"

Valanie, with resolute determination in her eyes, swiftly tapped a golden bell beside her. Shortly after, footsteps echoed outside the lab, and Aerfie appeared at the entrance.

"Miss Aerfie, both you and Madam Olivia have been deceived by this man. He’s not a true Alchemy expert; his potionology knowledge is even worse than a novice."

"I believe our current research direction is completely wrong. It’s impossible to find transcendent properties in ordinary materials and create potions effective on Transcendent Beings."

"We need to..."

"You say Roger’s potions are ineffective?"

Aerfie abruptly interrupted Valanie. Regardless of when, this woman always appeared meticulous, yet now her usually beautiful but somewhat rigid expression revealed a rare peculiarity.

Interrupting others on a whim was not polite; Valanie paused, then quickly nodded.

"Isn’t this obvious?"

"Turning ordinary materials into gold was the core desire of ancient alchemy, but we all know it’s impossible."

Valanie spoke eloquently, "And what Roger is doing now is nearly identical to ancient alchemy."

"Attempting to create potions effective on Transcendent Beings from ordinary items is conjuring something from nothing. We all know a blade of grass remains grass no matter how it’s processed."

"The principle of potionology is conservation, both materially and in terms of energy levels..."
