"Uh!?" Bexia slowly woke up.

"Wow!" When he opened his eyes, he was startled by a face full of wrinkles. Bexia's first reaction was to step back. If it wasn't for recognizing that it was someone else, he would have almost summoned Christine.

"Teacher, do you have to scare people like that!?"

"Scare people?! You almost scared me to death! You ate such a big piece of Fantasia Beast meat without any problem, and with so many of my magic potions. Aren't you afraid of the overwhelming magic power bursting you apart?"

"It wasn't intentional. I was just a little hungry after reading the book, so I took a bit. Who knew that thing would make me want more after just a taste? And I started feeling really excited, like my brain was floating..."

"That's the meat of a Fantasia Beast, which has stimulating and hallucinogenic effects. Of course you would end up like that. I don't know what your stomach is made of. You should know that just a piece the size of a fingernail can keep a regular person exhilarated for hours. It's good that you didn't die on the spot!" Bor complained. "You don't know how precious that research material is!"

"I was just experimenting with a new secret medicine, combining it with the secret potions from your book. I was also a bit hungry, so I added some meat to stew. But it seems like the effect is different from what I expected!" Bexia remembered the process of making the secret medicine. After adding the meat, something seemed to have changed.

"How do you feel now?"

"Okay, I guess. I don't feel anything unusual."

"Pay close attention. You've eaten so much stuff. What if something goes wrong with your body?" Bor still worried about Bexia's body. So much food, even if he ate it himself, would be difficult to digest.

"Uh, let me check?" Bexia closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. Using mental power to perceive was the most effective method.

"My mental power seems to be stronger than before, and my magic power has improved a bit. It seems like my physique has also changed..." Bexia opened his eyes and said.

"Do you know what you've created?" Bor suddenly asked, leaving Bexia stunned.

"What have I created?!"

"You dare to drink random potions without even knowing what they are?!" Bor covered his head, thinking how daring his disciple was. He didn't even know anything but dared to mess around. But thinking about it carefully, maybe that's why he was able to break common sense and create that kind of secret medicine.

"I made it myself, so there should be no problem. I should be able to know the effect. After all, I've read your manuscripts. I just mixed them together!" Bexia confidently answered. After all, he made it himself and didn't see any major issues after consuming it.

"You're lucky that you are able to create the lost all-purpose secret medicine that has been sought after for thousands of years. I don't know whether your luck is good or if you are truly a genius."

"From the tone of your voice, does that mean I successfully created the secret medicine?" Bexia felt a sense of surprise.

"Well, sort of! But next time, can you try a different method? Don't use my magic mixer to cook soup!" Bor complained.

"But that's the method I understood. If I want a thorough mix, I have to use high temperatures. Besides boiling, are there other high-temperature methods? I did it to ensure the purity of the secret medicine!" Bexia gave a reasonable answer, which he understood himself.

"Then, do it again now so I can see it," Bor said.

"Can I eat something first?" Bexia's stomach was still growling!

"Forget about eating! You've already consumed so much magic potion."

"But I'm hungry!"

"Fine, half an hour... no, fifteen minutes to solve your problem, then come directly to the lab. I'll prepare the materials for you. Later, you can make... no! Stew a pot of all-purpose secret medicine for me!"

"Teacher, that's just too much!"

"It's already been half a minute. If you're late, I'll strip you naked and hang you at the entrance of the academy!" Bor gave a sinister smile. Dealing with someone like Bexia required some tough measures, otherwise, who would even know who the teacher was?

"Okay then!" Without further ado, Bexia ran out. Bor's appearance did not seem like a joke.

After more than ten minutes, Bor's private study!

Bexia looked at the large amount of magic potions piled up on several tables, as well as a piece of bloody dream beast meat. It was truly worthy of Dean. He managed to gather so many things in just over ten minutes, and they all looked very fresh. Especially the meat, it looked like it had just been cut.

Bexia looked at the pot... no, it was a magical mixer that Bor had cleaned. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Bor and asked, "Teacher, do you mind if I use this?"

"As long as you can make the secret potion for me, I don't mind if you eat all the equipment here!"

"In that case, I won't use it. My teeth aren't that good anyway."

With permission granted, Bexia started pouring water into the magical mixer. Of course, it wasn't ordinary water, but magic spring water specifically used to make secret potions, which contained abundant magic power.

Bexia began operating according to her previous method. Bor was beside her, holding a feather pen and writing on his notebook, hardly blinking his eyes, afraid to miss any of Bexia's processes. He looked strictly like a student!

After stewing in the magical mixer for over an hour, when Bexia lifted the lid, a meaty fragrance spread throughout the room. Bexia poured out all the soup using a strainer, and the milky white liquid emitted steam in the test tube.

"Done!" Bexia looked at her creation and said to Bor with satisfaction.

"Give it to me and let me test its effects!" Bor couldn't wait any longer. Nothing was more exciting for an alchemist than learning a secret potion lost for thousands of years.

"Here! It might still be hot since it just came out of the pot."

"Gululu!" Bor didn't care. As a King-level elemental mage, his magic power automatically protected his body. This temperature meant nothing to him!

"It's really an all-purpose secret potion!" For someone like Bor at his level, the effects of this secret potion were only a little bit impressive, but it couldn't suppress his amazement.

"You're truly a genius, kid! Don't bother practicing any martial arts or magic anymore! Study alchemy with me instead. With your talent, your fame will resound throughout the continent in a few years!" Bor's face was full of joy, which was a bit scary to Bexia. She felt like this old man's brain wasn't functioning properly!

"Apprentice! Don't mention the matter of this secret potion to anyone for now, in case someone... well, you know what I mean!" Bor was afraid that someone would peek into Bexia's successful research. After all, such incidents had happened numerous times in history books, right?

"Alright!" Bexia didn't think much of it. Even if Bor didn't say so, she would at most tell Carter, Long Momo, or Ophelia.

Wait, what about sister Ophelia!?

Bexia suddenly remembered...
