Outside the door of the villa in Catimos.

Vickers pushed the door straight in, he didn't have to knock when he got here.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" said Catimos, still sitting in his usual seat.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are the time for Vickers to work, and it is also the time to come here to receive the teachings of Catimos.

"Teacher, ...... and I," Vickers stepped forward and told Catimos about his and his roommates' plans to enter the pens.

The beast pen is a jungle with trees and water, but it is by no means a tourist place, and without the ability to protect itself or the protection of others, the weakest first-order demonic beasts will easily kill people without mercy.

At present, Vickers's strength is not enough, entering the beast pen to be safe and sound is almost frying water into ice, and going there without the power of mana is equivalent to looking for death.

With the power of Vickers, no matter where he is, he is a tiny existence, and he can't set off any strong winds and waves, although his mana level is only level four, but the mana level is not only a symbol of strength. Mana is the foundation of the spell master, support the spell master to use spells, the strength of the spell can prove whether the spell master is strong, in addition, the magic master's weapons, armor, potions, enchantments, scrolls and other external forces, all are part of the strength.

"I agree with you to use the alchemy table, but on one condition. Catimos's voice deepened, "Before dusk, you can successfully refine the first-order mana coordination potion by yourself, if you really succeed, you can use the alchemy table downstairs at will and refine the potion you want to refine as you like, so I won't help you refine this potion anymore." ”

Vickers' face changed, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

The first-order mana coordination elixir does exist, and the difference between it and the third-order mana coordination elixir refined by Catimos for Vickers is that the ingredients of these two elixirs are fundamentally different, and the materials used to refine the two are not of the same level, and the effect of the former will only be much worse than the latter.

They have the same name because the effects are similar, and the same potion is ranked according to the level of effect.

Why didn't Catimos give Vickers a higher-level mana coordination potion? In this way, Vickers's obstacles to cultivation could be further reduced.

Catimos said that with Vickers's cultivation, he could withstand the third-order medicinal power at most, and if he drank the fourth-order mana coordination potion, the consequences would be counterproductive.

"I want to try, teacher. Vickers made up his mind.

Hearing this, Catimos stood up and walked towards the staircase, stepping on the stairs leading to the next level, Vickers following him.

As he walked, Catimos squinted at Vickers, with a cold light in his eyes, and said resolutely: "As for you want me to teach you spells, I won't agree." Even if I'm an elemental mage, I'll only teach you alchemy. As I said, I won't teach you anything that has nothing to do with alchemy. ”

Vickers's heart sank, he still had a little hope, but these words made the light in his heart shatter. Catimos is also an elemental mage, and his cultivation is also an unattainable height for Vickers, if he has his guidance, Vickers will definitely be able to increase his strength by a few steps.

Spells learned by a Spell Trainer can be taught to someone who is of the same combat class, or who has the same specialization in the core of a spell.

He only knows the first-order spells of the seven elements that come with the elemental spell core and the two first-order spells that come with the divine spell core, and if you want to deal with the demonic beasts in such a dangerous place as the beast pen, the spells that come with the spell core are far from enough.

With a wave of his long sleeves, several alchemy materials appeared on the alchemy table on the far left of this room.

Vickers recognized these materials, and they all appeared on the recipe for refining the first-order mana coordination potion, and a large number of potion formulas were stored in his mind like white paper full of words, and he never forgot them.

"Let's get started. Catimos took a few steps back and motioned for Vickers to come to the alchemy table.

The difficulty of refining the first-order mana coordination potion is far more difficult than the first-order healing potion and the first-order mana recovery potion, which is undoubtedly a very difficult challenge for Vickers.

Vickers glanced at the material in front of him, he didn't do it for a long time, this is by no means something that can be easily tried, success will be immense, but failure will be very uncomfortable.

Without the teacher's restrictions on him, Vickers's eager and long-brewing hands could be released on the alchemy table and freely alchemy, which was exactly what he longed for.

Potions are of great help to spell masters, and the same is true for Vickers, the main use of which is to improve the abilities of spell masters in all aspects, and many potions can make up for their own shortcomings.

The potions refined by alchemists are a necessity for almost every Dharma master, because of the high demand, alchemists are often the most profitable of the seven side hustles. Wix rarely goes to the cafeteria anymore, he is trying to save credits as much as possible, and if he does not reach a certain number of credits, he cannot be promoted from the freshman department to the junior department.

As long as you have alchemy materials, Vickers can refine them into potions and complete more academy tasks, which is not a problem.

The materials on the alchemy table were stared at by Vickers for a long time, and Vickers didn't seem to have decided when to do it. Catimos stood straight, motionless, not in any attempt to give Vickers advice.

After a while, Vickers picked up the alchemy materials on the alchemy table, named Fire Leaf Grass and Ice Grass Whiskers, respectively, a bunch of crimson leaf grass and a root with Vickers' arm that was a little thinner than chopsticks were the key to refining the first-order mana coordination potion.

The leaves of the fire leaf grass seem to be tattooed with flames, but in fact, you can't feel the temperature of the hot one when you touch it, and the ice grass whiskers seem to be condensed from frost, which looks like they will break when you touch them, but the touch in your hand is just an ordinary plant root, but it is slightly cold.

Vickers used his mana, and the palm of his left hand suddenly rose with high temperature, and gradually flames appeared, wrapping the ice grass whiskers coiled in his hand, and his right hand emitted low temperature, and the fire leaf grass was quickly covered with a thin layer of frost.

Vickers was already quite proficient in fire and ice spells, so he was familiar with both elements.

Elemental mages can convert their own mana into any of the seven elements, and unlike spells, they need to re-run their mana to use spells of different elements, but the converted fire or frost does not have mana, it is ordinary fire and ice, not too powerful, far from being used as an attack or defense, at most, it is to make the mage's own life more convenient.

And this convenience is perfectly practiced in alchemy, a trace of arrogance appeared on Catimos's face, he always thinks that the elemental mage is the most suitable for being an alchemist, everything is made of elements, and the knowledge and understanding of the elements is of great help to the alchemist.

When it comes to finding, collecting, and concocting alchemy materials, elemental mages have an advantage over other combat professions in these aspects.

Instead of melting into water like ice, the Ice Grass became thinner after being burned by the fire, and Vickers put it in a crystal bottle. At present, the furnace of the alchemy platform has not been opened, the water in the crystal bottle is cold, and the ice grass whiskers that have lost weight are soaked in clear water like this.

The Fire Leaf Herb on Vickers' right hand was originally red, and it turned pale blue after being coated in a layer of frost, and it was also put into the clear water in the crystal bottle by Vickers.

Vickers was engrossed in the crystal bottle, expecting the changes inside, but the furnace was still not opened, so what would happen to the two alchemy materials soaked in cold water?

In the crystal bottle, the Ice Grass Whisker and Fire Leaf Grass were stimulated, and bubbles continued to float as if the water had not yet boiled, and little by little the blue color melted into the clear water.

Wickers, anticipating this outcome, seized the opportunity to inject his mana into the alchemy table, opened the furnace, and began to heat the crystal bottle.

Ice grass with the same texture as ice cubes gradually melts, and fire leaf grass melts directly into the water like ice, and the water that is a combination of materials slowly turns blue with the change of the two materials.

Wix adds the remaining ingredients and raises the temperature of the stove.

The process of discoloration stopped abruptly when it reached the pale blue, and Vickers frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

Catimos bowed slightly, and at a glance he knew Vickers's small mistake, the timing of his insertion of the remaining materials was faster, and the furnace was heating up faster, and the temperature was a little higher.

Vickers was a little anxious, which led to the failure of the refining potion this time.

Quickly pouring the failed light blue liquid from the crystal bottle into the waste pool at his feet, Vickers filled a new bottle of water and hung it on the iron shelf of the alchemy platform.

There was still time, less than an hour had passed since they parted with Lucius, and the materials given by the teacher were more than the amount of refining once.

Vickers adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind, he was not discouraged, and quickly plunged back into the state in which he was concentrating on alchemy.

For two months, he didn't refine the potion again, just imagining in his mind, Vickers not only did not produce impetuousness, but also developed a calm mind.

Catimos's way of teaching may be a bit strange, but the results are evident in Vickers.

It stands to reason that the master should let his apprentice practice more, but Catimos is the opposite, he forbids Vickers to practice alchemy. He might have made Vickers feel unfamiliar with alchemy, but the result was the opposite, Vickers seemed to be proficient in refining potions, and the first time he refined a first-order mana coordination potion, it didn't look like the first time he was refining.
