Chapter 646: Potions Lesson—Focus on Potion

The herb class was followed by a potions class with a half-hour break in between.

Sherlock didn't wander around the rest of the place, but went straight to the Potions classroom.

Potions professor Snape, as soon as he heard the name, the image of a man and a horse came to mind.

Tian Ling'er ......

Ferenze ......

Although the virtual network has brought people closer together, they can meet whenever they want.

But in fact, if two people are separated from each other, no matter how good the relationship is, it will eventually fade away.

The same applies to this theory in Faeron.

During the time when they were separated from Tian Ling'er, the two of them often exchanged their experience in refining medicine.

Later, Sherlock was busy with various tasks, and Tian Ling'er was immersed in the sea of knowledge of Candle Castle, and slowly became less contacted.

Eh~

In the end, all the regrets only turned into a sigh, and I don't know if it was for Tian Ling'er, for those days of collecting and refining medicine together, or for that beautiful friendship, or all three.

"Mr. Sherlock, is there anything wrong with you?" Snape said with a grim look on his face, he had never had a good opinion of Gryffindor's students.

Sherlock raised his head, only to find that he had unconsciously walked to the door of Professor Snape's office, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Professor Snape, do you know Ferenze?" “

"Mr. Ferenze was my last Potions professor, but he left the school many years ago and is missing."

Sherlock was overjoyed and handed out a letter of recommendation: "I had the privilege of being taught by Mr. Ferenze for a period of time in the High Forest, and at the time of his parting, the teacher wanted me to continue to study alchemy with Professor Snape. “

"It's really a teacher's note." After Snape saw it, his face was much softer, and he still respected his former Potions teacher: "Now that class is coming soon, you can come to my office after school in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, Professor!"

……

Ten minutes later, Snape walked into the classroom with a gloomy face, and the originally noisy classroom immediately fell silent.

"Truth be told, I don't really expect many of you to truly comprehend the exact science and rigor of potion configuration.

But my class can at least keep you from drinking the water of life and death when you want to drink a bottle in battle.

So, can anyone tell me what these two potions do, and how to distinguish them? “

Potions is no better than herbalism, and simply reading books can't really grasp the mysteries.

What's more, Snape's two questions were obviously out of line, so there was not a single person in the classroom who raised their hands.

"Sherlock, answer my question." Snape called by name.

Sherlock knew that the other party was probably testing him, and said eloquently: "Focus potions can reduce the chance of backlash and interruption when casting, life and death water is good for sleep, and diluted in water has a growth-promoting effect on most plants."

Both are pale green clear liquids in appearance, but the water of life and death will have a faint grassy scent. “

"What's the difference between a perilla stalk and a green stalk?" Snape asked.

"Perilla and green stalk are the same plant, but they have different growth cycles and colors depending on how they are cultivated.

The former is three-year-old, with purple stems and leaves, and strong medicinal properties; The latter is annual, with blue-blue stems and leaves, and mild medicinal properties. "It's not a question that a master who is proficient in herbology won't touch at all, and Sherlock only knew a little bit after reading Ferenze's notes.

"If you have a few materials in your hands, such as rauff wood, honeysuckle vine, spider incense, cat's claw grass, comfrey mushroom, salamander's tail, rock pepper seeds, sea floating moths, and green moss tortoiseshells, how many potions with different effects can you refine."

This question has already touched on the origin of potions, and Sherlock thought about it for nearly a quarter of an hour before he came up with an answer: "The combination of three medicinal herbs, sea floating moth, spider incense, and cat scratch grass, should be able to refine the potion of hidden breath......"

"Anything else?"

After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, Sherlock could only shake his head helplessly: "Sorry, Professor!" “

At this time, if it was Tian Ling'er, with her imagination and creativity, she should be able to come up with at least three combinations.

Sherlock, on the other hand, is really not very good at R&D, as can be seen from his dark dishes, and it is already a matter of urgency to come up with a reasonable combination at this time.

Snape's serious face showed no emotion, and he stared at Sherlock for a moment before turning away.

Just as Sherlock was disappointed and thought he hadn't passed the test, an indifferent voice came from the podium.

"Sherlock plus 2 points."

Hearing this, everyone in the classroom couldn't help but whisper in surprise.

You know, no matter how good you are, Snape would never give extra points to a Gryffindor student.

"Quiet!"

Snape snorted, and the restlessness that had just risen in the classroom immediately fell silent again.

Next, the Potions lesson finally got to the point.

"Sherlock has already talked about the effect of the concentration potion, its main ingredient, the bulb of bellflower, you should have also known it in the herbal medicine class just now, you need to use it to successfully brew a concentration potion, the method of making it is on the tenth page of the book."

As they prepared to turn the pages, Snape shouted, "Did I tell you to turn the books now?"

Watch me do it first, watch my movements, I don't want to see someone stupid enough to blow up the whole classroom. “

The process of making a concentration potion is not complicated, Sherlock has learned it after just reading the book.

It's just that Snape's refining skills at this time are slightly different from those recorded in the books.

For example, in the treatment of bellflower bulbs, it is recorded in the book that the bellflower bulbs are sliced, and he directly crushes the juice with a knife edge.

"The medicinal properties of the bellflower bulb are entirely in its juice, and it is not only easier and faster to juice it directly than it is sliced and boiled, but it does not affect the final effect of the potion at all......," Snape explained.

System Prompt: Snape teaches you alchemy, alchemy proficiency +127!

"Therefore, we need to lower the flame temperature at this time......"

System Prompt: Snape teaches you alchemy, alchemy proficiency +65!

"The amount of rootless rattan core powder must be well controlled......

System Prompt: Snape teaches you alchemy, and the alchemy proficiency is +52!

……

Listening to Snape's teachings gave Sherlock a great deal of proficiency, and it was much faster than he could squander high-grade medicinal herbs at the Room of Requirement.

By the time he finished explaining everything, his alchemy level had already broken through to level 6 and 3%.

Next, when it was everyone's turn to refine it themselves, Sherlock followed Snape's teachings and successfully refined a pot of 89-quality concentration potion, winning 10 points again.
