Wizard:Start as a Potion Master

Fortunately, Su Nan still had a small vial of the warlock's heart blood from before, along with a few unused hearts from the Storm Knights.

Looking at the ongoing battle in the distance, Su Nan realized he needed to capture more knights and warlocks as experimental materials.

He added a drop of the warlock's heart blood into the cauldron, extracting its magical essence, causing the potion to undergo a profound transformation.

"Add a wolf's claw in 20 seconds, then a toad in 10 seconds. Once the potion begins boiling, add 10 grams of osmanthus, 5 grams of pomelo peel, and 1 gram of evening primrose powder. After three boils, add a bowl of pitch-black dog's blood and a ruby. Finally, when the potion reaches its fifth boil, add five gold coins and channel the simulated lunar eclipse magic from your inner world into it during the natural cooling phase."

With the Brain Core's assisted control mode, Su Nan executed each step with flawless precision. After the fifth boil, he threw in five gold coins, waited for the potion to naturally cool for ten minutes, and infused it with his magic.

After ten minutes, the Variant Werewolf Potion was complete.

Carefully, Su Nan poured the potion into five glass vials, his forehead beaded with sweat.

This potion was extraordinarily difficult to craft. Timing the potion's boiling and cooling phases required near-insane precision, with a margin of error of less than one-tenth of a second.

This made the process heavily dependent on the brewer's precise control and mental strength.

Additionally, crafting the Variant Werewolf Potion demanded the most materials Su Nan had ever used in a single potion.

It required all the ingredients from the basic and Super Werewolf Potions, along with those for the triple-evolved version, totaling dozens of components.

This complexity introduced a web of interconnections between the ingredients. Any deviation, no matter how slight, could destabilize the potion's properties, potentially leading to disastrous consequences if consumed by a werewolf.

After completing the potion, Su Nan infused it with Inner Realm Starlight, further enhancing its effects.

He then picked up a bottle of Mental Power Enhancement +2 Potion from his cabinet and drank it to replenish the mental and magical energy he had consumed.

Five potions later—half of his stock—Su Nan was fully recovered, back at peak condition.

With a battle looming, Su Nan needed to maintain his peak state at all times.

Rubbing his stomach, Su Nan sighed, "These +2 potions can't keep up with me anymore. Five bottles just to recover what I lost."

"Even if I'm willing to drink more, my stomach has its limits. At this rate, even if I overstuff myself, the effectiveness will diminish."

"Fortunately, the recipe for the Mental Power Enhancement +3 Potion has already been calculated. The Brain Core is even working on the formula for a +4 version."

Su Nan pondered, "I'll likely obtain many warlock corpses in the future. I should also calculate a special version of the +3 potion that utilizes warlock blood essence."

"Additionally, I'll need to research the mental power thresholds required by full-fledged wizards."

"And begin a project to find more potions that can rapidly boost magical and mental power."

The mental enhancement potion series was stable—reliable in its effects but devoid of surprises.

Thus, Su Nan tasked the Brain Core with exploring the feasibility of other types of enhancement potions.

Without delay, Su Nan began crafting the Mental Power Enhancement +3 Potion, leveraging his potion system's specialty: mass production of restorative potions for combat.

Given the number of enemies he faced, running out of magical energy was a real danger.

The core ingredients for the +3 potion were ginseng, licorice, and sour jujube seed.

Since he had used sour jujube seeds in crafting the Drowsy Bug Potion, Su Nan still had some in his cabinet. This fortunate stock allowed him to brew the +3 potion on short notice.

The cauldron automatically cleaned itself as water magic particles gathered. Fire magic ignited beneath the cauldron, and in less than five minutes, Su Nan had crafted five bottles of the +3 potion.

At the first-tier apprentice level, these potions were relatively simple to produce.

Low difficulty was key for crafting consumable potions, ensuring their reliability and consistency.

Standing by the cauldron, Su Nan reflected, "Time is running short. I can't be a perfectionist here. But perhaps I can brew potions during the battle itself."

With his abilities as a first-tier apprentice dramatically enhanced, crafting potions mid-combat was now a viable strategy.

Setting up the cauldron again, Su Nan brewed five bottles of Blood Essence Extraction Potion.

This potion was conceived after Su Nan first encountered a warlock. Realizing the value of blood essence, he developed this formula to efficiently extract it—even from living subjects during battle.

The potion had been challenging to develop, but the Blind Nun had inadvertently provided him with insights into the energy world's rune system. This knowledge unlocked the secrets needed to complete the formula.

After crafting the blood essence potions, Su Nan moved on to five bottles of Heart Extraction Potion.

This potion, also inspired by energy world rune techniques, was designed for a singular purpose: extracting organs mid-battle.

Specifically, it allowed Su Nan to cleanly harvest the hearts of Storm Knights without damaging or contaminating them, ensuring their usability in subsequent experiments.

Next, he crafted Magic Stabilization Potion, primarily composed of birch sap.

This potion was a shortcut, designed to stabilize other potions in emergency situations. Su Nan had already used this technique to craft the Black-and-White Flame Potion.

Finally, Su Nan infused all his recently crafted potions with Inner Realm Starlight.

This luminous energy seemed nearly inexhaustible. Even if Su Nan felt fatigued, a dose of mental power potion would restore his strength, allowing him to channel more starlight.

With starlight as a permanent buff, all his potions were significantly enhanced.

Once preparations were complete, Su Nan issued orders to mobilize his forces.

He summoned ten gargoyles, two obsidian minotaur statues, Angel Statue Soldier No. 1, Pella, and all remaining werewolves to the heart of his territory—West Virginia Lake.

Su Nan brought along his entire inventory of Drowsy Bug, One-Leg Stiffness, Firefly, Ghost: Summon Wolf, Ghost: Summon Frog, and Ghost: Summon Knight Attendant potions, distributing them to his werewolf army.

He left only ten werewolf messengers and one werewolf steward to guard the castle.

These eleven werewolves wouldn't add much to his fighting strength but would secure the rear, preventing any enemies from sneaking in.

The castle itself was a fortress, capable of repelling forces dozens of times larger with minimal defenders—a hallmark of feudal society's resilience.

Fortunately, West Virginia Lake was near the castle, with no villagers residing in the area. Su Nan wasn't concerned about his magical army being seen.

Pella had already ordered

the servants to stay inside their quarters. Those witnessing these events were all trusted confidants.
