Another week passed. During this time, Locke and Alicia had deeply exchanged knowledge of Potions, and both benefited greatly from their discussions.
Alicia's understanding of Potions, along with the finest Potions education she had received at Verdantia University, greatly enhanced Locke's knowledge of the field.
Likewise, during this week, Locke used the Synthesis Cube to synthesize the common First-Ring potion of the Southeastern Corner Region, the Holy Spring Nectar Potion, producing an eighth-level synthesized item.
In its improved formula, the method of using lightning-attributed Magic Flame during the final heating stage to abruptly extract a large amount of medicinal potency from the potion ingredients could greatly enhance the effects of the Holy Spring Nectar Potion.
Since Alicia had helped him greatly with the fundamentals of Potions, Locke shared this knowledge with her in return.
There was no particular reason for it. Exchanges had to go both ways.
Otherwise, a one-sided exchange would become instruction.
And that kind of communication would be difficult to maintain between peers for long.
With Alicia's help, Locke identified and filled in the gaps in his knowledge, rapidly making up for his weak foundations in Potions and solidifying the basics that had once been faintly inferior to his foundation in Breeding Science.
