Chapter 49: First-Order Healing Agents
"You're saying that the ingredients aren't directly mixed to make potions?" Vickers asked, puzzled, looking at what Catimos had casually pulled out of his sleeve.
A blue mountain flower, a brown feather about seven inches long, a small porcelain bowl with red powder, and a small dish of pale red grains were placed on the alchemy table by Catimos.
"What is this?"
Vickers almost blurted out: "Enfield Mountain, red mountain flowers, mountain eagle feathers, red spirit butterfly dust, red sea salt." ”
"If you've read those pages carefully, you'll know all the information you need to get through these four materials. Catimos said flatly.
Vickers pondered, recalling the contents of the compendium, and after a moment remembered the details of the four alchemical materials recorded in the thousands of pages of the compendium.
"Enfield Mountain Red Mountain Flower, produced in Enfield Mountain, is the unique alchemy material of Enfield Mountain, the appearance is no different from the ordinary mountain flower, but it is a plant with trace mana, sweet, slightly astringent, non-toxic, the whole can be used as medicine, its petals can be crushed and applied externally to play a therapeutic role, the treatment effect is general, only can heal meager wounds......
The feathers of the mountain eagle, as the name suggests, are taken from the mountain eagle, an ordinary animal that does not have any magical powers, are brown and slightly hard, and have different effects when combined with different materials into the medicine, and the best quality feathers appear in the period when the mountain eagle is about to moult......
Red Spirit Butterfly Dust, light red powder naturally dropped from the wings of the first-order Warcraft Red Spirit Butterfly, which is very easy to be absorbed by the soil, and is easily blown away by the breeze, so be sure to pick it up quickly......
Red Sea salt, refined from the vast sea area called the Red Sea between the Ownerless Realm and the Ming Continent, is difficult to refine, just boiling the sea water takes a meal of seawater to produce one or two, it is light red grains, containing in the mouth will make the tongue be burned, but it can make the body hot, not afraid of cold, harmless to the human body......"
It took Vickers more than ten minutes to finish the detailed introduction of the four materials, and the words on any page of the "Compendium of Alchemical Materials" were the size of a grain of rice, and in addition to the front picture of the material, there was also a structural diagram, and even the role of each structure was printed on the book in detail.
"Well, that's good. Catimos leaned back a little in approval, took out a folded yellowed piece of paper, and handed it to Vickers, "This is the recipe for the first time you made a potion. ”
Vickers flipped through the paper, the handwriting on it was a little blurry, but he could barely make out it, "First-Order Healing Potion Formula-Enfield Mountain Red Mountain Flower, Mountain Eagle Feather, Red Spirit Butterfly Dust, Red Sea Salt, ......"
"Try it out, I'll watch from the sidelines. Catimos said lightly.
When Vickers heard this, he hadn't finished reading the recipe, so he looked up at Catimos in surprise and said, "Teacher, I don't know how to use the alchemy table yet." ”
"There is a fire in the furnace on the alchemy table, press the palm on the alchemy table, inject mana to make the furnace warm the potion, it's as simple as that. Catimos took a step back to give him room to spread his legs.
Looking at the regular lines on the alchemy table like a layman, Vickers was stunned, looked at the formula again, and then nodded abruptly.
The recipe recorded in detail the process of making the first-order healing potion, the processing method and amount of materials, and the details of the temperature of each stage of the furnace during refining, and the small text was densely packed on a piece of paper, slowing down Vickers's reading speed, but he was still able to read it in its entirety.
The recipe was placed aside by Vickers on the alchemy table, and he roughly memorized its contents. Vickers took a deep breath, slowed down, and began to move.
Picking up a silver knife on the alchemy table, the stamens of the red mountain flower from Mount Enfield were carefully cut open by Vickers, revealing the structure inside, and the stamens were cut off, and only the pistils were left in the stamens of the mountain flower.
Vickers handled the alchemy materials, and Catimos spoke on the side: "The healing potion is mainly based on the red mountain flower of Mount Enfield, and its whole has a healing effect on wounds, but the healing potion is oral, and the effect is better than direct external application. Its stamens contain the most mana, and if it is not removed, it will affect the effect of other materials mixing in the compound. ”
The agent is mainly divided into two components - the main material and the synthesis, the main material is a variety of alchemy materials, the synthesis is the medium that allows these alchemy materials to be mixed together, the synthesis is generally liquid, and the type of liquid is the key to mixing the main material.
Vickers also ground the red sea salt into powder with a mortar, mixed it with the red spirit butterfly dust, and injected a small amount of mana into the alchemy table with his palm, and the furnace on the alchemy platform immediately caught fire, heating the transparent liquid in the crystal bottle hanging above the furnace.
The crystal bottle was filled with ordinary water, which was the most common compound in the first-order elixir, and it was found everywhere.
The water boiled, and Vickers used the small scale that came with the alchemy table to measure the weight of the powder mixed together, and then poured the boiling water together, leaving at least half of the powder in the small porcelain bowl.
The red powder quickly melts into the water, and without stirring, the substance in the crystal bottle becomes pale red. Vickers increased the mana output, and the orange flame burned more vigorously, and when boiling water, Vickers probably figured out the relationship between the power of the input method and the temperature of the furnace.
After increasing the temperature, the liquid in the crystal bottle did not boil more, but calmed down.
"When the red spirit butterfly dust is mixed with red sea salt, the synthetic quality is no longer ordinary water, and it can withstand extremely high temperatures. Catimos said.
Vickers continued to heat up, the fire did not get stronger, but Vickers, who was only a few feet away, felt that the temperature of the flame was rising.
The liquid in the crystal bottle began to bubble, and the furnace fire was much higher than the boiling point of the water to make it boil, and Vickers immediately put the red mountain flower of Mount Enfield and the feathers of the mountain eagle into the crystal bottle. I've done a lot of bartending work, and Wickers's movements are quite quick.
The mountain flowers and feathers were immediately dissolved by the high temperature of the liquid, and the temperature reached a fairly high level, and the light red color of the liquid became darker, and the potion gradually took shape, and the previous light red transparency disappeared.
"It's almost done, and that one is needed. Vickers turned his head to look at Catimos, but he didn't have any intention of giving Vickers anything, he had already expected the failure of this alchemy.
The potion in the crystal bottle boiled violently, and Vickers heard the boiling sound and hurriedly turned back, only to see that the potion that was about to be completed changed color again and turned purple red.
It is written in the recipe that if the potion turns purple red when it is fired, it means that it has failed, to the point of no recovery.
Vickers released his palm, the input mana was interrupted, and the flames in the furnace were extinguished.
"Why?" Before Vickers could open his mouth to ask Catimos, the teacher spoke first.
Vickers shook his head, he had clearly done it according to the recipe.
Catimos didn't answer him, but said lightly: "The materials are still there, try again." ”
The exact same materials were taken out several times more, and Catimos also conjured a wooden table out of thin air, so that these alchemy materials could be placed.
With the ingredients in hand, Vickers read the recipe more carefully and started again. This time, Catimos began to reveal Vickers's subtle mistakes.
"The material slowed down. ”
"It's heating up too fast. ”
"The stamens of the mountain flower have not been removed. ”
……
As night fell, the potion in the crystal bottle finally did not change color in the final stage.
With a wave of his hand, a purple crystal landed on the alchemy table, and Vickers immediately added it to the crystal bottle.
This is the mana polar core of Zipin, a crystal that can store mana, and under its action it can stimulate the medicinal properties of the potion, and it is a material that exists in the formulation of all potions, and it is also an indispensable material.
The seven grades of mana polar cores are used in the recipe of the first to seventh order potions, and to make the eighth order and above, you need to use two red mana polar cores or more, and the difficulty of integrating multiple mana polar cores into the potion at the same time has created a rarity of high-level elixirs, and there are even fewer alchemy that can make high-level elixirs.
"Now, inject your own mana into the potion and activate the polar core!" Catimos said with a smile and excitement.
Today is a very meaningful day, his apprentice is about to become an official alchemist, and it only took less than a day, which is absolutely incredible in the alchemist world.
Vickers was sweating profusely and was exhausted, and although the furnace on the alchemy table needed little mana, if he kept inputting mana, the alchemist would eventually overdraw his mana.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Vickers ignored his body that had exhausted his mana, and forcibly used the most fundamental mana in the core of the spell.
When the spell controller fuses the spell core, the spell core is like a heart blood supply, providing mana to the spell master's body, and the mana master's body has no mana, which is equivalent to a creature without blood.
The mana polar core was triggered by Vickers's mana, and from the inside of the crystal bottle, purple light overflowed, mixed with the bright red of the potion, and then the purple light slowly dimmed, and the mana in the mana polar core had been completely integrated into the potion.
Vickers was now pale and weak, and he had no strength to support his body to stand upright, his eyes were black, and he was unconscious.
Catimos's attention was always on the potion, and he was extremely happy to notice that his apprentice was not in the right state after he noticed that Vickers's body was leaning, and hurriedly caught him.
Pouring a bottle of light blue potion into Vickers's mouth, Vickers's face softened a little.
Catimos adjusted the furnace and continued to infuse it with mana, and the fire turned strangely blue, emitting an extremely low temperature. He finished the cooling of the potion for Vickers, and poured the potions in the crystal bottles into five glass tubes, and the first-order healing potion was truly completed.
