Ilubeck had explained for quite a while before Rein finally understood what the so-called "Seventy-Two Legendary Divine General Sequence" was all about.
Simply put, all potion systems had evolved from the seventy-two Extraordinary Sequences of the original Monkell Civilization. They were powerful inheritances that led directly to the divine tier.

"Oh, I see."
Rein finally understood why Gold Potion Recipes were so valuable.
The higher the quality of the recipe, the closer it was to the original "Seventy-Two Legendary Divine General
