Chapter 269 - Aura Concealment Potion (1)
He wanted her to produce a potion? Shen Yanxiao was dumbfounded. Even though she had amazing talents in herbalism, she was still only a first-year student. Luo De was someone with high authority and also respected in the Herbalist Division. Even if one were to disregard his identity, his status as an Advanced Herbalist was reason enough for all the students to worship him.
Why would an Advanced Herbalist want a first-year student to produce a potion?
It was still an odd request, no matter how she looked at it.
“What kind of potion?” Shen Yanxiao was in doubt, but she knew her proper limits as a student.
Luo De glared at the two students for a second before he slowly said, “The Aura Concealment Potion.”
“The Aura Concealment Potion?” Shen Yanxiao was momentarily stunned. She had heard of the potion. It was a potion to reduce the user’s aura for a short time so that they could conceal their battle aura or magic. The Aura Concealment Potion was a necessary potion for some people in certain professions to hide their presence.
When mercenaries hunted high-level magical beasts, they would use the Aura Concealment Potion to hide their aura so that the beasts would not discover them before they could strike.
If she remembered correctly, the Aura Concealment Potion was an intermediate potion.
Luo De wanted her to attempt an intermediate potion?
However, he knew that she was a first-year student who had only enrolled in the academy less than two months ago!
Luo De nodded and said, ” That’s right, it’s the Aura Concealment Potion. I am currently teaching my students to produce this potion for the past month, and you can give it a try too. If you succeed, then we shall discuss some other things. If you fail, then you can return to your class.”
Luo De’s task not only surprised Shen Yanxiao, but even the two students looked at him in shock.
Had their teacher gone crazy? He had just asked a first-year student to produce an intermediate potion!
Only the gods knew how many brain cells they had sacrificed for the Aura Concealment Potion. The students had devoted so much effort to the potion, but only about one-fifth of their class had managed to produce it.
As for the remaining students, the Aura Concealment Potion had nearly tortured them to their deaths.
Why would Luo De asked a first-year student to produce a potion that had tortured the second-year students in the violet class?
If they had not gone crazy, then it must have been Luo De, who had gone mad.
Shen Yanxiao felt a slight hesitation. She had only attempted junior potions that were not difficult to produce. The intermediate potion did not only require difficult skills, but she was also unsure if she would succeed.
It was apparent that Luo De had something else on his mind when he sent his invitation. Yet, he had pushed the problem with the Aura Concealment Potion to her, and it looked like he would not reveal any further information unless she could produce the potion.
“If Teacher Luo De could demonstrate the process to me, then I am willing to give it a go,” Shen Yanxiao said as she looked at Luo De.
If she did not even try it, then all opportunities would be lost. If she did try it, then at least there was a chance that she could succeed.
Shen Yanxiao was not a person who would give up, even if there was only one percent chance to succeed.
“Very well.” Luo De nodded with satisfaction.
“Follow me to the lab.”
Luo De told the two students to go with them as well, and they followed behind them. They had somewhat complicated expressions on their faces as they stared at the small physique behind Luo De.
“This little kid is very reckless. Did he really think that he could successfully produce the Aura Concealment Potion?” One of the students looked at Shen Yanxiao with displeasure. Luo De had given them a long ‘lecture,’ and he had shown nothing but care and concern for that kid. They were quite upset with the difference in their teacher’s attitude.
