“I’m in good health, I don’t need this. Do you have any combat-oriented potion here?”
Zhou Chen was speechless. He did not come here for this thing.
“I do.”
The old witch, whose face was filled with wrinkles, was very energetic. She quickly took out a small box, placed it on the counter, and opened the box.
“These are the latest strengthening potions I made. They take effect quickly and have little side effects.”
She began to introduce them to Zhou Chen.
“This is a Berserker Potion. Drink it and your strength will double. The sense of pain will be greatly reduced. The effect will last for about ten minutes. After the effect is over, your body will be exhausted for half a day.”
“This is an Ethereal Potion. It can greatly increase your spiritual power. The effect will last for about 15 minutes. After the effect is over, you will feel dizzy for a day.”
“This is a steel potion. After drinking it, your skin will be as hard as steel armor and can ignore the attacks of ordinary blades, spears, and arrows. The effect will last for about 15 minutes. After the effect is over, the skin might flake and crack.”
“This is a fire resistance potion. After drinking it, you will become the most troublesome opponent for a Fire Mage.”
…
The old witch patiently introduced the effects of her potions to Zhou Chen and the tall girl. The two of them listened while observing the potions.
As the witch said, most of the potions in her box were marked by the system, and the labels were similar to what she had said. This meant that the things she sold were genuine.
“What is the price of these potions?”
Zhou Chen asked.
“Hehe, it’s very cheap. Every bottle costs ten gold coins.”
The old witch replied happily.
“It’s a little expensive.”
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but frown. Although the effects of these potions were not bad, the duration of the effects was a little short, and the side effects were heavy unlike what the old witch said. The price was definitely not reasonable.
“I want a potion that has a permanent strengthening effect and doesn’t have many side effects. Do you have it here?”
Zhou Chen asked the old witch.
What he wanted the most was the potion that had a permanent strengthening effect, instead of having to find a chance to drink the potions when a battle started.
“Hehe, young man, I have such potions too, but unfortunately, they were sold out last month.”
The old witch smiled.
“What are the specific types? Can you still make them?”
Zhou Chen was interested.
“Young man, the cheapest potion among those types costs 50 gold coins. Are you sure you can afford it?”
The old witch did not answer Zhou Chen’s question because she was a little doubtful of his purchasing ability.
“Money is not a problem. As long as the effect is good, even 1,000 gold coins is not a problem.”
Zhou Chen immediately replied.
The old witch’s eyes, which were surrounded by wrinkles, immediately lit up.
“I can concoct five types of permanent effect potion, but I might not be able to make them within a short period because I lack some key materials.”
“Which five?”
“Robust Potion that can permanently strengthen the body; Swift Potion that can permanently increase speed; Sage Potion that can permanently strengthen the spirit; Spring Potion that can permanently increase self-healing ability; and Falcon Potion that can permanently enhance vision.”
The old witch replied unhurriedly.
‘It sounds similar to the attribute scrolls. I wonder if they can be stacked…’
Zhou Chen thought inwardly.
“What materials are you missing for the first three potions? Can we help you find them? If we can bring the missing materials over, can you make the potion within a week?”
Zhou Chen asked.
“Of course. As long as the materials are enough, I can make a bottle in a day.”
The old witch looked up at Zhou Chen and the tall girl.
“But the materials of these potions come from some ferocious creatures or dangerous places. It’s very difficult to obtain them. Even the Black Blood Mercenary Group I commission fails frequently.”
She expressed that this was not an easy task.
“I see…”
Zhou Chen nodded in understanding.
“But tell us what the materials are. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to obtain them when we go out to explore.”
Since he could theoretically help finish these potions, Zhou Chen planned to give it a try. If he could do it, he would do it. If he really could not, he would give up.
“Hehe, okay. Remember, the key ingredients for these five potions are the complete heart of the Giant Saber-Toothed Tiger King, the soul of the lightning specter, the amethyst stone produced in the underground world, …”
The old witch mentioned the key materials and also mentioned some of the common areas they were found in.
“Alright, I’ll take note.”
Zhou Chen immediately remembered the information about these materials.
“Do you sell healing potions here?”
After Zhou Chen finished chatting, the tall girl asked about the items she wanted.
“Of course.”
The old witch replied immediately.
“Low-tier healing potions are three gold coins a bottle, mid-tier ones are fifteen gold coins, and high-tier ones are a hundred gold coins a bottle.”
“Let me see the low and mid-tier ones.”
The tall girl was interested because the healing potions here seemed to be cheaper than she had expected.
“Alright, I’ll bring them over. Actually, even if you wanted to see the high-tier ones, I couldn’t show them because I lack the materials to concoct them.”
The old witch smiled and turned to get the potions.
Half a minute later, the strengthening potions on the counter were replaced with two types of healing potions. The quality of these potions was also good, and they were marked by the system. The effects were similar to low and mid bronze healing potions, which could quickly heal light and moderate injuries.
“I want a mid-tier potion.”
Zhou Chen immediately took out 15 gold coins to buy a bottle of mid-tier healing potion.
“Let me get a bottle of low-tier potion.”
The tall girl bought a bottle of low-tier healing potion. After killing the people who blocked the alley, she had been given a gold coin and some silver coins. She now had enough money for the low-tier potion.
The two of them bid farewell to the old witch.
“Do you think we can earn a fortune by buying a lot of the healing potions here and selling them in the trading area?”
Zhou Chen said to the tall girl on the way to their next destination.
“Yes, it is possible.”
The girl nodded.
“But we need a lot of gold coins to buy them. If we forcibly snatch the potions, the situation might change. That old woman can open that store alone here, she’s definitely not a simple person.”
She judged.
