Chapter 72: Outrageous Speed Activation Pill!
However, Lu Li had no use for Jin Fengjiao, as the saying goes, judge by actions not intentions. Although the Yu Family had many schemes against him, one thing could not be denied.
That was that the benefits they gave were real and tangible. Most importantly, they hadn’t harmed him, at least not yet.
The most important thing in life is to distinguish clearly between kindness and grudges, so Lu Li has always been quite grateful to the Yu Family.
Lu Li smiled in agreement on the surface, giving Jin Fengjiao face. Only a fool would refute her at such a time, after all, their statuses were not on the same level.
After finishing the meal, the two left the Gym, then rode Bidoof to that familiar auction.
Yu Lili directly took him to find Jin Longma who was in the office.
After giving the bent spoon to Jin Longma, Yu Lili said: “Uncle, this item is troubling you. Just transfer the money to this account at that time.”
Jin Longma gave Lu Li a meaningful glance, then smiled and said it was no problem.
Jin Longma didn’t find it strange at all that Lu Li appeared by Yu Lili’s side.
Without exaggeration, even a genius falling from the sky would ultimately belong to either the Jin Family or the Yu Family.
With the Jin Family and Yu Family joining forces, the vast Qingfeng City was almost like their backyard garden.
This was the influence of noble families on the region.
After returning to the Gym, Jin Fengjiao took out the space backpack she had prepared long ago.
Jin Fengjiao handed the backpack to Lu Li: “Inside here are the speed activation potion recipe and its manufacturing materials that you need, as well as the seeds that you had my Lili collect before.”
Lu Li, taking the backpack, sincerely thanked her: “Thank you, Aunt.”
“If you really want to thank me, treat my Lili better.” Jin Fengjiao said with a smile.
Lu Li nodded solemnly, then rode Bidoof back to the countryside villa with Yu Lili.
To be honest, Lu Li actually didn’t want to deal with someone like Jin Fengjiao who had a lot of schemes, but during the process of growth, some things were unavoidable.
“I’m going to make the speed activation potion first.” After returning home, Lu Li hurriedly said this and impatiently dove into the basement alchemy room.
Lu Li first took out that recipe from the space backpack. The speed activation potion recipe wasn’t complicated; even including the main ingredient Sitou Fruit, the materials needed to make the potion were only nine kinds.
Among them were three kinds of berries, two kinds of materials from Pokémon, and six kinds of herbs.
“It takes two Sitou Fruits to manufacture one bottle of speed activation potion. Isn’t this cost-performance too low?” Lu Li frowned at the recipe and muttered to himself.
To reduce the risk of using Sitou Fruit, some waste was unavoidable.
Thinking of this, Lu Li decided to properly research the medicinal properties of these nine materials and see if he could optimize it.
Although the world rules were different, his knowledge reserves were there, so Lu Li felt he could give it a try.
After more than two hours of research, Lu Li finally decided to honestly follow the recipe and turn it into a pill.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t make the potion, but the pill had better cost-performance.
He took out the alchemy furnace, then activated the Flame Manipulation Art!
Half an hour later.
Lu Li looked at the semi-finished pill in the alchemy furnace and fell into thought.
As expected, the first time had some minor issues, but this was within President Lu’s expectations.
After taking out the pill from the alchemy furnace, Lu Li took a test tube filled with pure water, crushed the pill into powder and dissolved it in the water, then Lu Li nodded in satisfaction.
In alchemy, this refining could only be considered a semi-finished product, but in potion-making, the potion in this tube was indeed a speed activation potion.
Its function was exactly the same as the speed activation potions on the market: developing a Pokémon’s speed potential, with no side effects, and this potion even eliminated the defect of being usable only once.
After the first test run, feeling it was practically guaranteed, Lu Li dumped all the remaining materials into the alchemy furnace at once.
Other breeders knowledgeable in potion-making might have to make these higher-difficulty potions one bottle at a time, but for a master level alchemist, refining a batch of pills at once was simply too easy.
Nearly an hour later, the flames receded.
Pills complete.
After using up all the materials, Lu Li had refined a total of seven speed activation pills.
Unlike the speed activation potion, the speed activation pill could now be used three times repeatedly.
The effect of the speed activation potion was roughly shallow-level speed potential development.
The effect of the speed activation pill was: the first pill for shallow-level development, the second for deep development, and the third for complete development.
To be honest, Lu Li felt the effect of this speed activation pill was a bit outrageous.
“Should I take one myself to test the effect?” Lu Li looked at the pill in his hand and was a bit tempted.
The speed activation pill wasn’t just targeted at Pokémon; it was also effective for cultivators.
After three pills, Lu Li suspected he might comprehend a divine ability.
In the cultivation world, cultivators could develop their own potential to comprehend divine abilities.
The cultivation world also had pills for developing potential in a single attribute, but the value of those pills was even more outrageous than the legendary foundation establishment pill.
After all, it involved legendary divine abilities.
After hesitating repeatedly, Lu Li finally decided to use it on Pokémon.
After all, this was a world centered on Pokémon. Strengthening Pokémon’s strength first was absolutely the right move. Moreover, he himself wasn’t some cultivation genius yet, so using these resources on himself would be a bit wasteful. He could take them later once his team developed.
However, what Lu Li was more troubled about now was how to allocate these pills. Equal distribution definitely wouldn’t work; as the pill refiner, Lu Li knew too well the gap between two developments and three developments.
After searching his memory for a moment, Lu Li decided to give them first to Xiao Lü and Xiao Mei. Charmander hadn’t fully evolved yet, so no rush.
Xiao Lü’s biggest shortcoming was its slower speed; three speed activation pills could just make up for that weakness.
As for Xiao Mei, there was even less need to say; its talent in speed wasn’t like Xiao Lü’s, but it wasn’t much better either.
The remaining pill was what Lu Li was most conflicted about.
He was wondering whether to give the pill to Yu Lili. Giving the pill directly definitely wouldn’t do; the best way was to turn the pill into a potion like just now.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Li took out two test tubes filled with water, broke the pill in half, then crushed it and dissolved it into the test tubes.
One bottle to the auction to exchange for funds, and the other two bottles just right for Yu Lili’s Squirtle and Wailmer.
As for Xiao Hong?
His own Pokémon of course had to use the best; potions and such were out of the question. Better to wait and use the pill directly in the future.
After making the decision, Lu Li left the basement.
Just arriving in the living room, Lu Li saw Yu Lili wearing an apron and serving dishes to the table.
Seeing Lu Li, Yu Lili explained embarrassedly: “Although my cooking isn’t as good as yours, I figured you definitely wouldn’t have time to cook, so…”
Lu Li smiled and shook his head: “It’s fine, I’m not picky about food.”
Lu Li came from modern society in another world. Facing a woman like Yu Lili who was willing to cook for him, he was genuinely a little touched.
……….ps: The effect of the speed activation potion is similar to those that convert potential into strength, like the super divine water in Dragon Ball; it doesn’t directly increase the potential upper limit.
Initial development equals ten years of training in speed for that Pokémon, deep development = 50 years, ultimate development = 100 years.
