He took out a series of materials, some common, some relatively rare, but all within the reach of an Advanced Apprentice.
"Observe the energy patterns of the ingredients, feel the interaction between the components, and adjust the proportions and procedures as needed. This is the true art of Magic Potion Making."
Ron’s fingers gently passed over the mortar, indicating to the apprentices to pay attention to the order of the material combinations.
Every step was meticulously designed, not simply following a set process, but rather adapting to the real-time reactions of the materials to make the optimal choices.
When handling Ice Crystal Heart Stone Powder, he didn’t follow the traditional method of directly crushing it, but first softened it with a special solution, then crystallized it at a low temperature, and finally ground it into powder.
This innovative handling method significantly reduced its repulsion to Moon Shadow Dandelion, allowing the two ingredients to fuse better.
When the last drop of liquid was added to the container, the entire Magic Potion suddenly emitted a gentle silver glow, and then quickly stabilized into a clear light purple liquid.
"This is the improved ’Spiritual Stabilizer,’" Ron stated the results matter-of-factly:
"The efficacy is 1.6 times that of the standard formula, the duration increased by 35%, and the side effects reduced by nearly 60%."
He specifically emphasized:
"Moreover, the entire process didn’t use any rare materials, but was achieved through optimizing proportions and improving procedures."
The classroom was silent, and all the apprentices frowned deeply, incredulously watching the scene on the podium.
It felt as if their eyes understood, but their minds and fingers remained in a dazed state.
"This... this is incredible," Jack whispered in amazement, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"He didn’t use standard procedures just now, but adjusted the proportions and order based on the real-time reactions of the materials. Many senior Magic Potion Making lecturers can’t match this level of Assistant Ron."
Beside him, Liss completely ignored her companion.
The girl was both inputting Magic Power into an automatic recording quill to quickly record Ron’s dictated knowledge and working hard to digest everything she had just seen.
In the front row, Eve also showed an unusually focused expression.
Her eyes, like purple crystals, were fixed intently on Ron’s every move.
"Next, I would like to invite a volunteer to come on stage to complete a simple experiment together."
Ron scanned the classroom, his gaze finally landing on Liss.
The thirst for knowledge flickering in those brown eyes immediately drew his attention to this serious female apprentice:
"The female apprentice with the silver hairpin, would you like to come up and assist me?"
Liss widened her eyes in slight surprise and pointed at herself.
After getting confirmation, her heart started racing as she walked onto the podium under everyone’s gaze.
"Don’t be nervous, this is just a simple demonstration."
Ron said soothingly, his voice carrying a natural calming power that made people unknowingly relax.
He took out a small bottle of the freshly prepared ’Spiritual Stabilizer’ from the container:
"Tell me, what is the biggest challenge you face during meditation?"
Liss swallowed, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness:
"I... my Spiritual Power is not focused enough, easily disturbed by external distractions, and it lasts only for a short time, at most ten minutes of deep meditation."
Ron nodded, a trace of understanding flashing in his eyes:
"A typical beginner’s concentration problem, which is common among apprentices, is mainly due to the incomplete opening of Spiritual Power pathways, leading to poor energy flow."
He took a small crystal glass from the podium, poured in three drops of the prepared potion, and then added some clear water to dilute it:
"This is a diluted version of the improved ’Spiritual Stabilizer,’ mild in effect but sufficient to demonstrate the principle. Would you like to try it?"
Liss hesitated for a moment but quickly nodded in agreement.
She knew a Treasure-level Genius would not do anything dangerous in such a public setting.
Moreover, being able to experience the effects of such an efficient Magic Potion personally was a rare opportunity for an ordinary apprentice like her.
Receiving the crystal glass, Liss carefully drank the pale purple liquid.
As soon as the potion entered her mouth, a cool energy immediately spread from her throat throughout her body.
It was as if a small electric current flowed along the meridians throughout her body, activating the dormant energy at each node.
The feeling was both unfamiliar and wonderful—not stimulating, nor numbing, but an indescribable sense of clarity.
It was as if someone had gently wiped the dusty mirror in her mind, making everything clearer to see.
Her gaze instantly became bright and focused, and her mind became unprecedentedly clear.
The flow of surrounding Magic Power seemed visible, like ribbons of color flowing lightly through the air.
"Now, please try a short meditation and feel the difference compared to usual," Ron instructed.
Liss nodded, closed her eyes, and began to operate her Spiritual Power as she would usually do.
To her shock, all the distracting thoughts and interruptions she normally experienced disappeared.
Her Spiritual Power flowed remarkably smoothly, like a clear stream without any obstacles or whirlpools.
A brief thirty-second meditation gave her a sense of spiritual concentration more intense than her usual ten minutes, almost a realm she had never experienced before.
"This is amazing!"
Liss opened her eyes, her face full of surprise and gratitude, her hands trembling slightly with excitement:
"I’ve never felt this way before, it’s like... it’s like I suddenly gained a higher level of Spiritual Talent!"
