Chapter Sixty-Eight: Spell Books, Spell Scrolls

There was the first failure in refining the first-order mana coordination potion, all the first-order elixirs were four materials plus a purple mana polar core, and these slightly valuable materials turned into waste water and went into the waste pool.

The potions that Vickers is refining now are far more difficult than the first-order healing potions or first-order mana recovery potions, so its value is also much higher than the latter two, and the price of the materials alone has exceeded the combined value of the finished products of the two basic potions.

If a novice alchemist needs to rely on uninterrupted practice to improve his alchemy skills, he needs a lot of expensive materials, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has burned money after many refining failures.

Catimos could see Vickers's determined eyes on the side, and he said softly, "Try to keep adjusting, the movement of your hand slows down, and it speeds up when it heats up, making up for the little slowdown you have slowed down before." ”

With Catimos's suggestion, Vickers was inexplicably relieved, and he concentrated again, his palm brushing over the material in front of him.

With the experience of the previous time, Vickers's movements during the second refining were a few points more proficient, and his confidence increased on his solemn face.

Fireleaf and Ice Grass have been concocted to lose their form, in order to make them fully effective. The collision of ice and fire caused the clear water in the crystal bottle to be like boiling water, and bubbles surged at the bottom of the bottle.

It was the mixture of ice and fire that balanced the originally chaotic mana, so the difficulty of refining this potion skyrocketed.

Then the key materials were added to mediate the conflict of ice and fire, and they mixed into a mass of gelatinous and hot water.

At this point, the water in the crystal bottle is no longer ordinary water, its boiling point has increased several times, and the flames in the furnace are close to 1,000 degrees.

It is impossible for such a hot flame to appear in the furnace for no reason, and the alchemist must have to pay some price, and the mana input of Vickers is supporting the output of the furnace. It wasn't so much that Vickers was injecting mana into the alchemy table, but that he was draining his mana, and in less than an hour, Vickers's mana was about to run out.

Vickers' eyes were black, he was sweating, his energy was flowing away with his mana, his will supported him, and what he was doing now was something that could not be easily defeated.

Now it has finally reached the most critical step of refining the potion, adding the Purple Mana Extreme Core to make the medicine that is still a semi-finished product exert its maximum efficacy.

This potion of blue to purple gradient color is slightly lighter than its higher level.

The purple crystals fell into the liquid in the crystal bottle, and before they could begin to merge, Vickers's spell core was completely depleted, and the flames that heated the crystal bottle shrank.

Vickers' shoulders collapsed, and he slowly sat down on the ground reluctantly, his ass about to hit the ground, and a large hand held his armpit.

Catimos helped him straighten up behind him, grabbed Vickers's wrist and pressed his palm against the alchemy table, a few traces of mana were pouring in, and the flames in the furnace were re-energizing, but Vickers was completely out of mana, and it was impossible for him to use mana in this situation.

It was Catimos who was helping him, using a few drops of massive mana to guide the alchemy table through Vickers's wrist.

Catimos' mana seemed to have a refreshing effect, and Vickers regained some of his spirits. Looking along the slender arm that was clutching his wrist, Vickers saw Catimos close behind him.

"Don't get distracted. Catimos made eye contact with him and said lightly.

When he came back to his senses, Vickers found that the teacher's mana seemed to be controlled by himself after being injected into the alchemy table, and he quickly understood Catimos's intentions, and in one go, the mana poured into the crystal bottle, and the mana polar core was melted after being stimulated, and melted into every drop of the potion, which made it truly valuable.

In this process, there is no bad change in the elixir, which means that the first-order mana coordination elixir has been successfully refined, and after it is cooled, it can be perfectly divided and packed with five tubes and bottles.

Without Catimos' help, Vickers would have had no time carefully packing the potion into the bottle. When the mana is exhausted, he loses his spirit and can't stand on the ground.

Looking at the five bottles of crystal elixir placed on the alchemy table, a sense of joy could not help but well-up in Vickers's heart. Although the effect of this elixir is not as obvious as that of the third order, the effect on Vickers' cultivation is as immediate, and not only that, but the restriction of Catimos has disappeared here, which is what really makes Vickers happy.

Catimos originally thought that the first-order mana coordination elixir that made Vickers quite difficult to refine was a seedling boost, but Vickers really succeeded, and if he was replaced by other novice alchemists, even if he succeeded for the first time, it would take a day to successfully refine the first-order mana coordination elixir again.

This shows Vickers' talent for alchemy, the memories that have been replayed again and again in his mind, and the illusory feelings have all become his experiences and reflect his efforts.

Strictly speaking, these five bottles of potions were not completed by Vickers alone, it was Catimos who helped his apprentice in the final stage of refining, Vickers's own mana was not enough to refine the first-order mana for the second time, which was a more difficult potion, and Catimos only made up for the lack of mana.

Vickers's mana level is still too low, to refine a more advanced potion, it is still necessary for him to improve his own cultivation, if Vickers's cultivation is higher and his mana is enough, the result of the success of this refining potion will still be the same, which shows Vickers's excellence in alchemy from another aspect.

"I'm my talk, the alchemy table allows you to use it as you please. With that, Catimos turned and left.

Wix was very grateful, "Thank you, teacher!"

Catimos ignored it, his steps did not waver in the slightest, his back to Vickers, a faint smile spread on his face, in fact, his heart was also excited.

There is such an alchemy genius apprentice, I don't know how many peers will envy him.

Until now, Catimos has not demonstrated alchemy for his apprentices, he believes that the teacher's teaching should be a guide, not to let him draw a scoop according to the gourd, so that practice makes perfect, and he is one of the few alchemy masters in the world, and too high a level will affect the foundation of Vickers.

After estimating the time, the joy on Vickers's face suddenly faded, and he took the packaged potion, and hurriedly left in the villa of Catimos.

Halfway through the three hours agreed with Lucius, Vickers had only one thing to prepare.

With these five bottles of first-order mana coordination elixir, you can buy the two things you need after exchanging money in the market.

These two items are potions and spell books, in fact, Vickers originally planned to directly refine the first-order healing potion and the first-order mana recovery potion, this red and blue basic potion is one of the most practical potions, and it is a must-have for almost every magic master.

The spell book allows Vickers to learn new first-order spells, so that his combat skills can be more abundant, and the new spells will increase his strength, so that he can be more secure in dangerous pens.

It's too late to refine the basic potion now, alchemy takes too much time, for Vickers, time is more precious than money, and since there is a first-order mana coordination potion that can be sold at a high price, there is no need to spend any more time.

Coupled with the money he earned from his part-time job, it was more than enough to buy a few first-order spell books, and the rest of the money after buying them would be used to buy potions.

Spellbooks are one-time items created by runemasters, and the spell master can learn the spells recorded in the spell book immediately after using them, and at the same time, the spell book will disappear.

Powerful spells are inscribed on paper by runemasters, and these words called runes are the key to the spell master's use of spells, which tells the spell core which way to use mana, so as to prompt the spell master to release the spell.

When the contents of the spell book are all in the core of the spell, the spell master learns the spell, but whether or not he can use it proficiently is another matter.

In addition to making spell books, rune masters in the seven side hustles also make spell scrolls that are also disposable.

Spell Scrolls can be used by Spell Masters to unleash spells that differ from their own class or specialization, and do not consume mana, and low-tier spell scrolls can be used even by ordinary people without mana.

Vickers had used the Spell Scroll before he had become a Spell Trainer, and when he was a child, he was capable of dealing with adults who were much taller than him.

Spell scrolls seem to be convenient, but the disadvantages are very obvious, and they must be spells learned by the runemasters themselves in order to create the corresponding spell books and spell scrolls.

For example, if a warrior becomes a runemaster, it is impossible to create a fireball scroll, because fireball is a spell that a mage is proficient in.

The price of the spell scroll is very high, slightly lower than the spell book, the spell book can benefit the spell master for a lifetime, but the spell scroll can only be used once, and the thing that disappears after one use, in comparison, the price of the spell scroll is naturally on the high side.

Despite this, there are still many people who will buy spell scrolls, but those who are not too wealthy use spell scrolls as a last resort to save their lives, and they will not use them easily until an emergency, and they will use a lot of money!

The vendors in the market are not only the ones who sell the goods, but also the ones who buy them.

After a trip to the market in the living area, five bottles of first-order mana were sold for a high price of one hundred gold coins, and Vickers used the money to buy three spell books first, and the rest of the money was used to buy first-order healing potions and first-order mana recovery potions.

Vickers then hurried to the dormitory building.
