C12 Perfect Level Potion!

"Ding! Congratulations on refining your first black iron-level potion. You have earned the black iron-level breeder achievement. Would you like to claim it?"

"Claim!"

Having gone through the process a few times, Symas had become quite adept.

Breeder Achievement: Black Iron 1-Star Breeder

Effect: Gain a lucky point bonus from the black iron-level potion!

Skills: Black Iron-level Multibeast Body, Black Iron-level Authentication.

Buff: Soul Refining (Spiritual Cultivation Method)

Multibeast Body: Can intimidate black iron-level pets!

Authentication Skill: Can identify black iron-level pets, materials, and all items.

Subsequently.

A flood of information entered Symas' mind. He was intrigued by how the lucky point bonus from the black iron-level potion would manifest.

This time, the achievement even unlocked a skill, particularly the authentication skill, which thrilled Symas.

With this authentication skill, he could potentially advance swiftly to a black iron-level six-star breeder.

He had been stuck at the black iron-level three-star breeder rank because much of the information on pets and materials for four stars and above was controlled by the major breeding families within the Trintis Dukedom.

The cost of obtaining their pet material compendiums was exorbitant.

Even on the black market, these breeders' compendiums were incredibly rare and monopolized by the powerful families.

With the authentication skill, his concerns about accessing those compendiums vanished.

However, what captivated Symas the most was the mind refining technique.

The attribute panel also indicated it as a psychic cultivation method.

In his previous life.

He had learned of Mind Magic at the Imperial College, which appeared to be crucial for advancing to an overlord-level tamer.

Contracting an overlord-level battle pet was a significant strain on one's soul.

To become an overlord-level tamer, one's Soul Power needed to reach a certain threshold to withstand the demands of an overlord-level battle pet.

Yet, the arcane knowledge of psychic methods was closely guarded by the elite clans!

Even in his past life, having scoured the Tamer University's library, he had only gleaned snippets about psychic abilities from the memoirs of master tamers.

The mind refining technique was a unique form of mental cultivation, likely the sole method of its kind on all of Orithyia.

Possessing this method,

Symas had embarked on the path of an Overlord-tier tamer, ensuring a smooth journey ahead.

All of this transpired in the blink of an eye.

Outside, in the examination room, Corey carefully assessed the Tempering Potion on the black stone table, detecting that something was off.

The potion Symas had concocted was several times more potent than the standard variety.

"This is..."

Corey approached the table, picking up the potion.

"It truly is a Perfect Level potion."

"Though it's a Black Iron 1-star potion, its efficacy rivals that of some 3-star potions!"

"Perfect Level potions are rare, with maybe one appearing in 10,000 batches. It requires reaching the peak of perfection during the fusion process."

Even with the ability to probe with Soul Power, he couldn't detect the subtlest changes in the potion's fusion.

Going all out, a Black Iron level potion had a decent chance of success, but it was also incredibly draining mentally, hardly worth the effort.

"Not bad," Corey offered his praise.

The potions crafted by the examinee during the test belonged to them.

Next,

Symas moved on to the second challenge, where two thirty-meter black tables awaited, laden with a hundred different pet materials.

With his past life's knowledge as a Three Stars breeder, identifying these hundred materials was effortless, even without the authentication technique.

Nearly half of these materials had been sourced from the Level D relic, the Kobold Mountains, under Littlewell's control.

Without any hesitation, Symas annotated each material, with a small display screen beneath each offering ten possible materials to identify.

The examinee had to choose from these ten options. A random guess had only a one in ten chance of being correct.

And there was a second layer of choice: the properties of the pet materials. If the properties were wrong, the entire answer was incorrect.

Corey watched, his expectations for Symas growing by the moment.

After witnessing the creation of a Perfect Level 1-star tempering potion, he knew Symas had invested considerable effort. His technique alone spoke volumes of his expertise.

Upon crafting a perfect-level one-star tempering potion with such fluidity and precision, it was clear that Symas had put in the work; his technique was unmistakably that of a seasoned pro. Remembering that Symas was only sixteen years old, Corey couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Even if Symas didn't pass the assessment this time, Corey was confident that he would succeed within a year or two. Achieving such a feat at such a young age was indeed rare. It wasn't just a question of diligence; talent played a crucial role. Potion refining required intense concentration and placed a significant burden on the soul.

"Hmm?"

"That was quick."

Before his eyes, Symas had just reached the second stage of the pet material identification assessment. With just a brief glance, he approached the first table and his pale fingers danced rapidly across the display screen without a moment's hesitation. He was identifying materials at a rate of one every two seconds. In just a minute, he had completed forty.

The display screen in front of the examiner, Corey, showed Symas's assessment accuracy rate: 100%! After two minutes, Symas had correctly identified all the materials, with not a single error in their characteristics. Among them were a few mixed with two-star and three-star pet materials, and some were even specialties from another base city's pet relics.

There were two materials that even Corey had not been familiar with previously, prompting him to research them through the association's internal network. Symas answered correctly on both counts, showing no signs of guesswork.

Once Corey confirmed the results, Symas, without any hesitation, selected three ingredients from the hundred types of pet materials. The potion he was about to refine would be his to command. He immediately set his sights on the three three-star materials – the most valuable ones.

The final challenge allowed for three attempts, and Symas was intent on crafting a two-star Blazebrew. The two-star fire grass, similar in appearance to Dog Tail Grass but red and about twenty centimeters long, was one of the ingredients. The two-star Frost Fluid was a widely sought-after neutralizing agent for many potions. The two-star topaz, resembling a thumb-sized bean of yellow jade, was actually a fruit from the black iron level yellow jade tree, which yielded only thirty to fifty fruits per year.

With his usual precision, Symas added the Frost Fluid to the cauldron. A slight flick of his wrist followed as he introduced the fire grass. The two ingredients mingled, unleashing their medicinal potency.

In the mixing vessel, Symas, as usual, skillfully poured in the Frost Fluid. With a slight flick of his wrist, he then added the fire grass to the mix. The two ingredients neutralized each other, and the potency of the medicine began to evaporate.

Then, he introduced the topaz into the mixture.

After a few moments, the potion within the vessel took on the appearance of dark, lustrous red, reminiscent of glimmering stained glass.

"Success, a two-star Blazebrew," Symas exclaimed, a hint of excitement in his eyes. He hadn't anticipated such a smooth process, finding it much easier than his first attempt at concocting a potion. His sensitivity to the potency had increased manifold.

Finally, upon the successful creation of the potion, he sensed an elusive force infusing the potion, causing the medicinal strength to multiply significantly.

"Could this be the lucky point bonus from the black iron breeder achievement?" Symas mused, pondering the fortunate turn of events.
