Chapter 50: The Alchemists' Guild

The tubular bottle made of glass is the unified specification of most of the potions, and the crystal bottle on the alchemy table is also of uniform specification, and a whole crystal bottle can hold five tube bottles, and it can be used five times.

After taking a certain dose of a drug orally, the body of the practitioner will become resistant to the same drug, and if the drug is forced to be taken again, the effect of the drug may become very poor, or it may be spit out of the stomach.

A certain dose is the dose of a tube bottle, so the tube bottle less than half a foot long has become the uniform standard for alchemists to hold potions, and the crystal bottles used in refining potions are also exactly five parts of the specification.

It is impossible to take the medicine compulsorily and want to make the medicine fully effective, and later someone invented the injection, that is, the medicine is loaded into the doctor's needle, and the needle is pierced into the blood vessel to play a role, so that people can use the same medicine twice after the body develops resistance, and the time for the drug to take effect is accelerated.

Injections sound very convenient, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the side effects of injections are much more than those of oral medicines, and this is after the alchemist blends the medicine and makes it into an injection, so it is best not to use the injection unless it is absolutely necessary.

There are countless types of potions refined by alchemists, and almost every elixir has its own unique medicinal properties, such as the most common healing potions that will have a healing effect after being drunk, and the mana recovery potion, which can restore a small amount of mana for the magician, and even underwater breathing potions can be bought on the market, as the name suggests, after drinking, you can magically breathe in the water like a fish.

The day after Vickers had successfully made the potion, he awoke from his slumber and sat up sharply, lying on his bed, scanning the familiar room and finding that the dark red wooden furniture was still in its original place, unchanged.

A ray of sunlight from outside the balcony crept in and shone on the quilt in front of Vickers, sobering him up a little.

Even after a deep night's sleep, Vickers still felt a little weak, and the consequences of overdrawing mana were really not so easy to recover.

Holding his slightly heavy head, Vickers sat on the bed for a long time, and only after he was completely awake did he slowly get out of bed, move his body, and after finding that there was no problem, he walked out of the room.

"Oops! I'm skipping work!" Vickers walked briskly down the stairs, suddenly remembering that there was still work to go from yesterday afternoon and evening.

I'll explain it later at the tavern. Vickers let out a sigh of helplessness, he really got carried away when he tried to make alchemy yesterday, and he only thought about making the potion successfully.

When he came to the first floor, Catimos was not here, and at this time, he would always drink tea and read a book on the sofa in the living room.

Just as Vickers was expecting, a calm voice from the alchemy studio downstairs came from Catimos: "Go downstairs." ”

Hearing this, Vickers suddenly felt a little more energetic, and it seems that the teacher is going to teach me alchemy again.

Vickers couldn't help but think of the process of alchemy yesterday, and he tried dozens of times before he finally grasped all the steps at the last time, so that he didn't have to change the color of the potion when the alchemy materials were mixed.

The potion is really not so easy to refine, but it is not just a matter of mixing various materials together and then heating it, all kinds of details during alchemy will lead to the success of the elixir, if it is successful, the potion can be sold at a high price, if it fails, it will be a waste of time and materials.

"The last one yesterday should have been successful, and the mana cores were all added. At the end, I should have to give a drug to cool down, I wonder if the teacher helped me complete the last step. Vickers quickened his pace, his breathing quickened, and the first thing he wanted to do when he woke up was to try alchemy after his first success.

Walking up two floors of stairs, Vickers could see a soft white light illuminating the entire basement, and he looked straight to the other end of the staircase, where Catimos was waiting for him in front of the alchemy table.

Vickers hurriedly walked over to Catimos, conjured a dark red cloth bag from the sleeve of the dark gold robe, and handed it to Vickers.

"Teacher, is this?" asked Vickers, picking a cloth bag that was not light or heavy.

Catimos glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "This is your work, so it belongs to you." ”

When I opened the bag, there were five bottles inside, each filled with a bright red and sparkling liquid, and they stood neatly on the stand, so there was no sound of glass colliding when the bag moved, and there was no need to worry about being easily damaged in the bag.

Vickers' eyes lit up, and joy suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, and his weak body regained his spirit.

"Thank you, teacher!" Vickers said with a smile and excitement.

"You deserve it. Catimos took a step back and took out the same materials as yesterday, including a purple mana polar core, and placed it on the alchemy table, "You try again, but the finished product belongs to me." ”

"Yes!" Vickers immediately agreed, moving his fingers and eagerly trying, although the finished product was to be handed over to the teacher, he was already satisfied.

This time, Catimos did not give Vickers a formula for a first-order healing potion, but after trying to refine a potion for dozens of hours, Vickers had already memorized the detailed recipe.

After processing the materials and placing his palm on the alchemy table engraved with strange patterns, Vickers slowly injected mana, and the furnace at the back of the alchemy table suddenly caught fire and began to heat the crystal bottle filled with water before.

Less than a minute later, the water in the crystal bottle boiled, and Vickers immediately put a mixture of red sea salt and red spirit butterfly dust into it, and the boiling water instantly turned pale red and stopped boiling.

Vickers constantly replays yesterday's experience in his head, keeping in mind the details and mistakes, and carefully completing every step. After a successful attempt, he began to gradually figure out the temperature and timing that needed to be controlled for the brewing of the potion.

Next, accurately follow the process on the recipe to put in the corresponding materials, control the temperature of the furnace fire, add the purple mana polar core, Vickers took a deep breath, very focused on the process of letting his mana enter the crystal bottle.

Mana is invisible in the air, but when absorbed into the core of mana by the master, it will take on a blue energy state.

Vickers's other hand also began to press on the alchemy table, increasing the power of the input method, and the mana jumped from the end in front of Vickers to the section opposite it, turning into a thin blue line, emerging at the low end of the crystal bottle, slipping into the crystal bottle like a small snake, wrapping the mana polar core inside, and attracting the spar that stored a large amount of mana.

This step is particularly important, determining the effectiveness of the potion, without the large amount of mana in the mana polar core, the effect of the potion must be very small for the master of the law.

The mana contained in the materials of the refining potion itself is insignificant, and the core function of the mana is to integrate it into the elixir and amplify the mana contained in the elixir, so that the effect of the elixir is greatly obvious.

How to make the mana polar core completely act on the potion is the most difficult step in refining the potion, if you are not careful, the energy in the mana polar core will destroy the components of the potion, and then the potion will become a puddle of useless liquid, or the semi-finished product of the mana polar core and the potion will be unstable, and the unfinished potion will also be wasted.

The success of integrating into the core of mana depends on the alchemist's skills and skills, and the control of mana over the potion. Even if Vickers is a beginner, he controls his mana beautifully like an alchemy veteran, so that the mana polar core is perfectly integrated into the potion, and Vickers once again successfully refines the first-order healing potion.

Adjusting the furnace, the blazing flame was converted into a cold fire, and the crystal bottle was quickly cooled down, and after a while, the crystal bottle could be touched with his hands, and Vickers poured the medicine in the crystal bottle into the tube bottle on the side of the alchemy table, and divided it into five equal parts.

Catimos witnessed the whole process of Vickers's alchemy, and in his heart, he was even more excited than Vickers, and he had truly recognized Vickers as his apprentice, but his face did not show it, and no one could detect his mood. He regarded Vickers as a treasure from God, and as long as he encountered it, he would be very lucky.

Being able to successfully refine a potion for the first time in one day is already an extraordinary thing, and being able to refine it again immediately the next day, Vickers is in no way inferior to Catimos when he was a beginner in alchemy.

Collecting the released mana, Vickers relaxed, and sighed in his heart: "As long as you succeed once, it won't be so difficult to refine it later!"

Looking at the black-haired young man in front of him, Catimos nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, you already have the ability to register with the Alchemist Association." ”

"Teacher, is the Alchemist's Guild also in the living quarters?" Vickers turned to look at him suspiciously.

"Hmm. Catimos stepped aside, made way for Vickers, and said in a deep voice, "Go now." ”
