Chapter 53: Watching Remy's Stupefying Operations (Please keep reading, please add to favorites, please...)

Chapter 53

"Crack!"

After finishing the processing of the killer bee's wings, Lynn immediately turned to the other materials, meticulously handling the petals and powders.

The first step was basic material processing. According to the requirements of the recipe, each material had its own specific ideal state.

However, this state was not a precise absolute value, but rather a range that allowed for error.

To ensure the success of the potion brewing, all materials had to be adjusted within this range. Judging the state of the materials relied heavily on an apprentice's mental strength—specifically, whether they could capture those subtle changes.

When it came to the application of mental strength, Lynn was naturally at ease.

Remy and Yara watched Lynn's operations. Although he appeared somewhat unpracticed, the materials were ultimately processed in an orderly fashion.

The next step was to prepare the base type of the potion according to the proportions.

Remy recalled his own assessment experience; he had made frequent mistakes during this stage and had barely passed through sheer luck.

For Lynn, however, this was only the second step. After completing the base type, he would still need to add energy factors to allow the potion to truly take shape.

However, during the mixing process, Lynn's timing for adding the Spring Field flower petals was slightly delayed by a few seconds.

Even though he added the other materials according to the proportions afterward, the state of the base type deviated from the description in the recipe.

Clearly, this brewing attempt had failed.

"Failure is the mother of success, Lynn, keep going..."

Remy and Yara encouraged him softly from the side.

At that moment, an apprentice passing through the hall caught sight of Lynn's operation. The person let out a light chuckle and snorted with a hint of mockery before turning to leave.

Though such a "snort" wasn't physically harmful, it was highly distracting.

Both Remy and Yara couldn't help but frown, their faces filled with dissatisfaction.

Lynn, however, remained calm, completely unaffected.

He swiped his card again and took out the next set of materials.

"The processing method just now seemed to have an issue..."

He calmly reviewed his previous operations, silently summarizing the reasons for his mistakes in his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Lynn threw himself back into the potion configuration.

During the second attempt, Lynn's movements were much smoother than before. Remy and Yara continued to watch intently from the side.

However, before long, Lynn made a mistake in another detail, causing the second attempt to fail once again.

Undeterred, Lynn swiped his card for more materials and continued to try.

After several failures, Remy's mindset underwent a subtle change.

As he watched Lynn fail repeatedly, a strange sense of satisfaction quietly rose in his heart.

"Even though Lynn's realm is higher than mine, his talent for potion brewing doesn't seem to be as good as mine!"

This inexplicable sense of competition made Remy feel somewhat uplifted.

Yara glanced at the time, hesitating to remind Remy to return to work, but Remy insisted on staying, even asking Yara to use his vacation days in advance, calling it "cheering Lynn on."

Although Yara had a timid personality, she was exceptionally sensitive to emotions and noticed the change in Remy's mindset.

Her little face puffed out, and she muttered to herself, "How can he be more childish than me?"

Despite this, Yara silently stayed by Remy's side.

The seventh attempt: failure.

The ninth attempt: still a failure.

Watching this, the blow Remy had taken at noon because Lynn's strength exceeded his own gradually eased.

"It seems everyone just has their own specialties; Lynn isn't much stronger than me after all."

However, just as Remy was feeling secretly smug, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Lynn's operational technique was already vastly different from when he had started.

From grinding materials and processing petals to mixing the base type according to proportions, every step was becoming increasingly smooth and precise.

While it couldn't be called effortless, the level of proficiency clearly exceeded Remy's expectations.

In fact, Remy vaguely felt that Lynn's technique was even more skilled than his own.

"Is this still the same Lynn from before? How is he progressing so fast?"

Remy was momentarily speechless, his heart churning with massive waves of emotion.

He had originally thought that potion studies required the accumulation of practice over time to improve, but the Lynn before him seemed to overturn his understanding.

Lynn was currently focused on his operations, without a single stray thought.

He also gradually realized that his sensitivity to the state of materials was becoming higher and higher, and his skills were advancing rapidly in a short period.

He understood in his heart that this was his talent at work.

Combined with constant trial and error and summarization, his brewing level naturally rose.

Furthermore, having possessed his talent for a long time, Lynn had already excavated many new aspects of its deep characteristics.

With the help of "Heaven Rewards the Diligent," even when facing a completely unfamiliar field, Lynn could gradually grasp the core mysteries through continuous attempts.

However, the speed of progress was closely related to the complexity of the learning content and his own foundation.

For example, if he used his current level to study the profound materials of a Level 4 Morning Star Wizard.

Although he would certainly gain something with the help of his talent, improving even a tiny bit of progress might take years, or even decades or centuries.

This wasn't because his talent was useless, but because his foundation was still too weak.

As a wizard apprentice who had not even crossed the threshold of becoming a formal wizard, rushing into profound fields would inevitably yield half the results for twice the effort.

But if he steadily improved his foundation and mastered various related pieces of knowledge before relying on his talent, his learning speed would increase dramatically.

Just like now, if Lynn were to learn mortal swordsmanship, with his physical fitness and talent, he might leap from a complete novice to the level of a knight within a single day.

This was because the improvement of the foundation made the enhancement effect of the talent even more significant.

Currently, this was exactly the case as Lynn processed those potion materials.

For a mortal, this content was incomprehensible; they wouldn't even be able to handle the first step.

For a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, it was complex content; they would need to expend great effort and summarize experience just to pass the second step like Remy.

For a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, the part that would cause complexity and confusion would likely be the third step: processing the energy factors.

But Lynn's current realm was that of a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. It was only logical that when he looked back to learn the foundational content, he could improve rapidly in a short amount of time.

It was exactly as the saying goes: "Looking down from a high vantage point, all paths lead to the same destination."

"Tenth attempt: success!"

With a light breath, Lynn entered the third step of potion brewing—introducing the energy factors.

This step was significantly more difficult than the second, but Lynn was not impatient; his mindset was steady.

The realm of a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice granted him immense confidence. Whether it was mental strength or the control of energy factors, he handled them with ease.

He believed that with his foundation, his progress in potion brewing would also break through rapidly.

However, Remy, standing to the side, was watching in stunned silence.

Can potion studies be learned like this?

This completely overturned Remy's understanding of potion studies.

In just half an hour, Lynn had progressed from a novice who was unpracticed even in grinding materials to his current level of proficiency, even surpassing Remy himself.

"Is there any justice in this world!"

Remy screamed internally, completely unable to accept it.
