In the early days of the Magic Pharmacist Association, no recruitment fee was charged, so many wizards came for the assessment with a 'give it a try' mentality.

The result was that very few passed the assessment, and on the contrary, a lot of potion materials were wasted.

Later, the Magic Pharmacist Association had no choice but to change the rule, requiring those registering for the assessment to pay a fee as a deposit.

If you pass the assessment, all money is refunded, if not, it is considered a material fee.

After this regulation came into effect, the number of people registering for assessments dropped significantly.

Only wizards who were truly confident and had considerable skill would sign up for the assessment.

Some, even after failing two or three times, often managed to pass later on.

These wizards generally had some proficiency in Magic Potion, but either made mistakes during the assessment or were unfamiliar with the given three topics, leading to their failure.

For them, as long as they encounter appropriate topics and perform well, they can often pass the assessment.

Herag checked that the material fee for a Tier One Potion was generally within a thousand magic stones, with varying costs for different potion materials, and the differences were quite large.

The main reason is that some materials have low yield, resulting in very high prices, which in turn causes the corresponding potion prices to skyrocket.

Despite the large price differences, they all fall under Tier One Potions.

A while ago, Herag entered into the Silver Moon City library and recorded a large number of books, naturally including those related to Magic Potion.

There are more than sixty Tier One Potion recipes in total, and Herag had only brewed a few of them before.

Now it's unrealistic to brew each one in turn; it would take unknown amounts of time and magic stones just to purchase and gather all materials.

So Herag plans to first review all these potion recipes recorded by Shenlan, memorize the brewing process, and mentally train himself on how to brew them.

When it comes to the assessment, he plans to choose a relatively simple one to brew, with Shenlan's assistance, and by being cautious, there shouldn't be much of an issue.

The worst outcome is a failure, losing a few hundred magic stones, but he can always try again next time.

Because there's a high probability of encountering a potion he hasn't brewed before, Herag is already mentally prepared for failure.

The brewing of Tier One Potions is not easy, a small mistake can cause a complete loss, necessitating starting over, and it requires a very high level of proficiency.

After spending two or three days thoroughly familiarizing himself with each Tier One Potion recorded in Shenlan's database, from recipe to brewing process, Herag went to the Magic Pharmacist Association to prepare for the assessment.

The Magic Pharmacist Association is also located southeast of Silver Moon City, actually very close to the Witch Array Master Association, with only two streets apart.

The entrance to the Magic Pharmacist Association was busier, with significantly more traffic compared to the Witch Array Master Association.

This is mainly a demand issue; the need for potions among wizards is certainly greater than that for arrays.

Arrays are part of an establishment process; once laid out, there won't be new demands in the short term.

But potions are different; they are consumables, with a high usage rate.

Moreover, the number of alchemists is much greater than that of array masters, creating a significant difference in traffic between the two associations.

The symbol of the Magic Pharmacist Association is a wizard hat and a round-bellied beaker, making its representation clear at a glance.

After entering the alchemist hall, Herag looked around, the internal noise was somewhat loud.

There were many people here, some were entrusting potion making, some were taking potion orders, and those participating in assessments were in the minority.

Herag watched for a while before finding the registration counter for assessments in the corner.

Similar to the Witch Array Master Association, he filled out a form, registered, and then waited for assessment arrangements.

This time he could participate in the assessment in an hour, unlike last time when he had to wait for a while.

Herag guessed that it was because there were so few people taking the Witch Array Master assessment, necessitating prior notification of the examiner, like Israel, a Level 2 Witch Array Master.

An hour later, Herag arrived at a potion room, which was the location for the exam.

He was momentarily stunned upon entering, as there was a person standing inside.

This person was the examiner for this assessment, and someone he knew, the bald Mr. Baron.

"Herag? You want to take the Magic Pharmacist assessment too?" Baron was also a bit surprised.

"Didn't expect it to be Mr. Baron," Herag said.

He recalled that when he added Gabalun Talisman Stone as a friend, indeed saw a label on Baron's personal information.

But at that time, he didn't know it was a label from the Magic Pharmacist Association and didn't pay attention.

Unexpectedly, when he came for the Magic Pharmacist assessment, the examiner turned out to be Baron.

Thinking back to that day at the Witch Array Master Association where Baron was complaining, it seemed like Baron was just making a casual visit, given the proximity of the two associations.

Baron chuckled, "Young man, you got to focus. Both witch array studies and Magic Potion are very profound and deep, trying to grasp both could mean not mastering either, as human energy is limited."

Baron sincerely advised, as he believed that since Herag had such great talent in arrays, he should concentrate on studying and researching arrays.

As an experienced Level 2 alchemist himself, Baron naturally knew that neither array studies nor Magic Potion were easy.

Herag was clearly too young, wanting too much.

Herag explained, "Thank you for the advice, Mr. Baron. I know that. I'm only participating in the Magic Pharmacist assessment to try my luck. If I pass, I can earn some extra money by brewing potions, but I'm not planning on spending too much time on it."

"Alright then. Let's begin. The three questions were prepared in advance, with no partiality involved," Baron said, gesturing to the three scrolls of parchment on the table.

Baron unfolded them one by one, spreading them out on the table.

Herag glanced at them, and each of the three pieces of parchment had the name of a potion written on it: Giant Potion, Night Elf Spring, and Abyssinian Potion.

These three potions were all in Shenlan's database records, except for Night Elf Spring, which was uncommon, the other two were common Tier One Potions.

The Giant Potion, as the name suggests, is a type of body enhancement potion that can make the drinker's body larger and enhance various physical abilities.

However, this potion has a high requirement for the drinker's constitution; without sufficient constitution, there will be aftereffects once the potion's effects wear off.

The aftereffects are generally that some parts of the body return to their original size while others remain in an enlarged state.

For example, the left leg returns to normal size, while the right leg remain large.

This reflects that the individual's constitution is insufficient to manifest the effects of the Giant Potion.

Night Elf Spring is a relatively rare potion, and its effect is to allow a person to have some characteristics of the Night Elves for three days.
