Chapter 30: Refining
Hughes took his purchases and prepared to go back to the dormitory.
"Hey, Theseus, long time no see. ”
Hughes heard a familiar voice and looked back to see that it was Amy greeting him.
"Sister Aimi, long time no see!"
"yes!" Ammy greeted Hughes with a smile.
"How's it going, how have you learned lately?" said Amy, seeing what Hughes had bought.
"You are,, bought the instrument?"
"Wow, Xiusi, have you already entered the first-level apprenticeship? It's only been half a month!"
"You're so talented!, it took me a month to get into the first-level apprenticeship,,,,"
"I was lucky enough to enter the first-level apprentice Senior Sister Aimi!" Theseus looked at Aimi, who was talking exaggeratedly, a little embarrassed.
"Then the teacher has already taught you advanced knowledge?"
"Yes, I chose pharmacy, so I came over and bought something. ”
Hughes and Amy chatted for a moment before saying goodbye to each other.
Hughes also took his things, went to the dormitory, and put his things in the dormitory.
Hughes took the formulas for the two potions and fell into deep thought.
"Chip, can you analyze the above steps. ”
"The task is established, and the formula of simulated physical strength medicine and hemostatic agent is analyzed, which is expected to take 34 days."
"A month? It's okay!" said Hughes, looking at the time given by the chip.
"In this month's time, I can try my best to cultivate the meditation method, if I am promoted to a second-level apprentice, and I can drill magic stones with the elixir, then I will have more spells to choose by then. ”
Xius had already secretly decided in his heart that in the next month, he would try to reach the second level of apprenticeship.
For the next month, Theseus was Wizard Matt's laboratory, teaching area, library area, and dormitory, but he felt that he was living a fulfilling life.
Wizard Sport also asked Wizard Matt for a few questions that he didn't understand, but although Wizard Matt was Wizard Theseus's teacher, he still charged a certain amount of magic stones, and Wizard Theseus knew that this was a fair deal between wizards, and interests came first.
"Drop! The simulation of the analysis of the pharmaceutical formula is complete. ”
Hughes, who was meditating in the dormitory, heard the sound of chips and opened his eyes. ”
"Is the analysis finally complete!" Hughes has been watching the progress of the elixir's analysis every day for the past month, and now it is finally healed.
"Well, tomorrow I can try to make potions!"
Hughes went to Wizard Matt's laboratory as usual, went to the teaching area in the afternoon, and then went directly back to the dormitory, Hughes has almost finished reading the free books on the first floor of the library area with the scanning of the chip, whether it is useful to himself or not, all can be scanned and recorded by the chip.
Hughes returned to his dormitory, closed the door, and thought that he didn't know anyone in the academy and wouldn't bother him, so he went straight back to his room.
Hughes placed the instrument he had bought on the table, ready to start experimenting with alchemy.
"Well, let's start with the stamina potion first!"
Xius set up his tools and took out the raw materials containing the potion of stamina.
"A few red fruits smelled faintly bloody, and a small pile of black powder, a piece of plant rhizome, and a flower that resembled a daisy. ”
"Chips! Turn on the assist!" Hughes was ready to start refining the potion.
"Drip! Elixir Simulation Assist Activation!"
"Chip!, can you analyze what my success rate is?"
"Drop! It is estimated that the success rate of the host in refining the stamina potion is 26.71%. ”
"So high?" Xius was a little surprised when he heard the chip's words, the success rate of this quarter is already very high, the most difficult thing in pharmacy is refining, and there is often a slight accident that this potion will be wasted, which is also the reason for the shortage of pharmacists.
The success rate is such a thing, even pharmacists can only rely on a lot of experience to improve, and it is surprising that Xius has such a high success rate in the first place.
"Alright! Ready to begin. ”
Many lines appeared in front of his eyes, and his mind felt as if he had done many physical potions.
Hughes first took out the Crimson Fruit, which was the main ingredient of the stamina potion.
The method of dealing with these herbs came out in the mind of Xiusi.
Theseus took a crimson fruit, put it in a small bowl, and with a small hammer, smashed all the flesh.
A strainer is used to separate the pulp from the juice.
Theseus poured the red juice into the glass beaker again.
"Smack!" Hughes snapped his fingers and lit the candle beneath the beaker, which was held in place by a shelf, far from the candle's flame.
The flame of the candle kept licking the bottom of the beaker, and the juice in the beaker began to tumble, and the smell of the crimson fruit was completely stimulated, and a strong smell of blood spread in the room of Xius.
Xius also frowned when he smelled this, there was no way that the space was too small.
Hughes took the glass and began to stir the juice in the beaker, and seeing that it was already starting to thicken, he put the black into the beaker in a certain proportion.
Hughes carefully added the powder little by little to the beaker and mixed it with the juice.
"Poof!"
There was a soft sound from inside the beaker, and a smell of burnt came out.
"Drop! The host joins inaccurately, resulting in failure!"
"This, this is a failure? My one-quarter success rate is too fake, right, this is my first step?" Theseus looked at the beaker in front of him speechlessly.
"Forget it, I'm just starting, take your time!" Xius adjusted his mentality, threw the results of the failure in the trash, and planned to start over.
Theseus repeated the action, reheating the juice of the crimson fruit.
Looking at the churning juice, Theseus added black powder more carefully to it this time.
Seeing that the juice with black powder did not appear as it had just happened, Theseus held the glass, and his spiritual power attached to the glass rod spread into the crimson juice.
Xius stirred slowly, and the juice inside slowly turned from bright red to dark red.
"Poof!"
As before, a burning smell began to permeate.
"Drop! The host's mental power is unstable, and the spiritual power fluctuates, resulting in refining failure. ”
"Shhh
Hughes heard the sound of the chip, but he had no choice but to start over.
"Whew!" Taking a deep breath, Xius continued to refine his potion.
Filtering, heating, adding, stirring, Xius repeated the steps just now, and did it again, but there was no such situation as the mental power was unstable just now.
Seeing that the two raw materials were finally fused together, Xius breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax his spirit, Xiusi himself knew that the real difficulty was still to come.
Hughes filled the confluent liquid into a test tube that had been prepared in advance.
After Hughes put the test tube in place, he took out the rhizome of the sage and prepared it for processing.
There was no problem with the rhizome of sage, and there were no accidents in the middle, but it went smoothly.
Hughes set aside the sage powder that had been processed.
I poured it out again, and the heat began to merge with the rhizome of the sage.
"Poof!"
Hughes looked at the failed fruits in his hands.
"Analyze the reason!"
"The purity of sage is not high enough, and there are too many impurities!"
"Let's do it all over again!"
The purification of these sages, Hughes let the chip be fully scanned, and what was wrong was understood and corrected.
Finally.
Seeing that the juice and the sage powder were completely fused, a smile finally appeared on Hughes's face.
"It's finally time for the final step. ”
Hughes said, his face cautious again.
Hughes looked at the tumbling liquid, and only by adding the petals of the chamomile flower to the liquid and completing the fusion, the physical potion could be made.
Hughes took the chamomile flower, tore off a few petals from it, and carefully added it to the beaker, Hughes had to be careful, Hughes had seen a lot of experience in potion refining, and many pharmacists often made mistakes in the last step, resulting in failure.
The petals were added to the liquid in the beaker, and Theseus took the glass rod and began to stir it gently, and the spiritual power also seeped into the beaker.
"Sodokara," Theseus' lips moved slightly, and he spoke in Arlen syllables.
The liquid in the beaker began to tumble violently.
"It looks like we're going to fail again this time. Looking at the situation inside the beaker, Xius had a hunch that this time he might have to start again.
