Demon Hunter and His Cabin-Chapter 1023 - 738: This Potion Is a Bit Overwhelming_2

"Miss Valanie."

Aerfie interrupted her again, "Is this what you called me here to say?"

"I’m very busy, I need to help Mrs. Olivia with many things, hm...forget it, let’s end it here for today. As for everything you just said, I won’t mention it to Mrs. Olivia, but I hope from now on."

"You can gather some little thoughts, focus all your attention on the experiment at hand. As a good experimental assistant, you should play a positive role, rather than dragging Mr. Roger back."

"You don’t trust me?! "

Valanie was bewildered, "I am the youngest pharmacist master within the federation. In terms of experience, I may not be able to compare with my teacher, but when it comes to innovation and future achievements, one day I will be ahead of everyone."

"I swear by my professional integrity, everything I just said is factual."

"Fact? "

Aerfie frowned slightly, a trace of impatience rising on her face.

"Go and try the effects of those potions, the results will be enough to explain everything. It seems I’ve been too naive in my thinking."

Shaking her head helplessly, "I’ve decided to change my mind and tell Mrs. Olivia everything that happened here."

After speaking, she nodded towards Roger, "Mr. Roger, please continue your experiment. Additionally, for the third stage, whatever aspect needs help, please feel free to speak up."

"This is Mrs. Olivia’s order, we must race against time, the sooner the better."

"Rest assured, I’m ready and won’t keep her waiting for long."

Roger returned with a smile.

After that day’s lunch, the three of them were left in the estate, and then Olivia seemed to have met with a few others one after another.

Roger didn’t inquire about the specifics, but soon, Olivia assigned Roger some potion research tasks.

Needless to say, the potions Olivia required were not ordinary; even if someone else had higher expertise, it would still be difficult to achieve a breakthrough in a short time without research in a similar field.

But Roger was completely different from others.

He had now somewhat grasped the core approach to alchemy knowledge at the Hunter’s Cabin.

Rules.

Alchemy, at its root, isn’t just so-called potionology, nor is it completely different from the chemistry Roger once studied.

Everything in the world, from the tiniest grain of dust to the tallest tree, whether it’s living or non-living, as long as it’s part of the world’s composition, its interior must contain the basic rules that build this world.

These rules are not as apparent and powerful as other forces but are more like a passive attribute.

The alchemy and formulas in the Hunter’s Cabin achieve the summarization of these tiny basic rules.

Starting from the core, completely stripping away the original properties of matter, directly targeting its origins.

It is precisely because of this that alchemy seems so incredible and unreasonable.

Ordinary pharmacists or researchers see the original properties of matter, but Roger and the Hunter’s Cabin can utilize the most fundamental rules.

Only this way can one break conventions and turn decay into wonder.

And similar knowledge, even if Roger was willing to teach, others would be unable to comprehend it. At most, they could only mimic the alchemical recipes.

Aerfie and Olivia knew nothing about alchemical knowledge, nor did they know much about potionology, which, ironically, allowed them to focus more on the results of matters.

Potency.

Roger used a few alchemy potions to successfully dispel Olivia’s doubts and made her extremely confident in Roger’s previous statements.

In contrast, Valanie, who considered herself an expert, based all her reasoning on her past experience, even if she completed the experiments under Roger’s orders, deep down she believed Roger was a charlatan who only knew a little surface-level knowledge.

As for the effectiveness?

Knowing a dish made from feces is placed in front of me, even if it is disguised as a delicacy, must I still personally taste it?

Of course, Valanie refused.

But unexpectedly for her, her so-called righteous statement only received a cold response. After a moment of anger, Valanie surprisingly calmed down eerily.

"Yes, it’s like this again."

"It’s exactly the same as my experiences when I was young and learning."

"People always lack rationality, unwilling to believe the summarization of objective laws, reluctant to trust the facts in front of them, and are then deceived by some flowery speech and falsehoods."

She clenched her fist tightly, her gaze falling on Roger.

"How did you do it?"

"Using some bizarre recipes, some chaotic and self-inconsistent things tricked Mrs. Olivia!"

Valanie sighed deeply, "Even someone as powerful and wise as Mrs. Olivia couldn’t be omniscient."

"I won’t give up, I will definitely expose your true colors!"

"Along with that damned Alchemy!!"

Looking at the woman in front of him, who was issuing a righteous roar, Roger couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Roger had learned some information about Valanie from other sources.

This woman truly was exceptionally talented; she was not only the youngest master of Potionology but also a Transcendent who reached the Third Tier.

Hmm... at the age of fifty, she certainly could be considered young.

People in this world have a deep misunderstanding of the word young.

From the information provided by Ox, Roger learned about Valanie’s childhood. She was born into a wealthy family, her family was engaged in business, accumulating considerable wealth.

But later, it was said her father became obsessed with ancient Alchemy, not only spending a large sum of money to purchase Alchemy instruments but also secretly conducting related experiments.

Until finally, he squandered all the family’s property, even their once magnificent manor was reduced to ashes. According to Ox’s analysis, all signs indicated that Valanie’s father used forbidden Alchemy on her mother in a frenzy.

This led directly to the death of Valanie’s mother and the subsequent fire.

But specifically, what really happened in the burned-down manor is probably known only by Valanie herself.

Since then, Valanie had openly expressed her disdain for ancient Alchemy on numerous occasions, which also explained her initial display of disgust upon seeing Roger.

The woman in front of him though easy to use, Roger was not planning to say anything to change her attitude.

He wasn’t that bored; besides, if Valanie really left in a fit of anger, that wouldn’t be a bad thing for Roger.

"Mr. Roger, I’m feeling unwell now and want to return to my room to rest for a while."

Valanie said with a stern face.

"Go ahead, make sure to close the door."

Roger turned around and continued with his experiments.

Behind him, a hint of anger flashed across Valanie’s face as she was treated indifferently.

"Just wait, I will definitely expose your true colors!"

"And then I will cast you and your ancient Alchemy into the Abyss together!"

After some simple tidying up, taking several important materials in hand, Valanie hurriedly left the laboratory.

After stepping out, she did not return to her room but instead went to the other side of the manor, applying to use a new laboratory.

The entire manor was vast, with many empty rooms, some not even prepared for Roger and others.

If following the initial plan, Valanie should have possessed her own independent laboratory, with all necessary equipment, which could be directly used for experiments with just a casual preparation.

"Alright, I have all the experimental processes memorized, no matter what means you employed, as long as I repeat the experiment, I can produce the potion you gave to Olivia."

"By then, I want to see how you will explain this!"

Valanie cheered herself on.

"Start with the first one..."

"Let me think, first I need White Stone Powder, Fragrant Flower Oil, Green Calyx, and Swelling Pancreas..."

"Right, and Blue Mist Grass, an exceptionally potent Hallucinogen."

Valanie was full of energy, not long after she obtained a potion emitting a pink glow.

"What’s the effect of this thing?"

She knew the specific recipe but was clueless about the effect, as deduced from her Potionology knowledge, she should have ended up with a foul-smelling failure.

But the thing in front of her...

"Unexpectedly quite pleasing to the eye?"

Shaking the liquid inside, Valanie imitated Roger’s manner, pulled the cork out and lightly sniffed at the bottle near her nose.

Originally she wouldn’t do something so reckless, but as Roger had personally demonstrated it before, she naturally let her guard down.

"It smells good."

Her expression changed, but Valanie did not notice, a faint blush crept across her cheeks unconsciously.

And by now, her eyes almost seemed to be welling with moisture.

"Hoo... It’s so hot."

Valanie gasped.
