Chapter 23 Assignment and Refining of Potions
Leaving the shop and heading to the street, Alan paid for a leather armor for Xiong Daya at a roadside stall and spent 30 gold coins.
This wallet is weaker than the rock python leather armor on Allen's own body, but it is also enough to use Xiong Da's own defensive ability.
I also went to the clothing store to buy a few suitable clothes for Xiong Da, and at the same time, considering myself, the robe made of ordinary fabric I bought last time was badly damaged during the jungle mission.
Alan had cramped on the street and bought himself two robes, which were made of the fur of a zero-tier demonic beast. Although it doesn't have as much defense as Armor Wash, at least it won't be scratched by branches. And wearing it in a wallet can still slightly increase the defense ability.
After purchasing these things, Alan took Xiong Da to the mercenary tavern.
Push the door in, it is still so lively inside, and the noisy atmosphere is blowing in the face.
However, I didn't see Sean and his group this time, so I don't know if they went on a mission or what
Alan didn't waste time, and went straight to the task counter and said to the staff:
"Help me hand over the task."
Alan took off the other package from Xiong Da's back and opened it, then took out three mission vouchers from his arms and put them on the counter along with his mercenary token.
"Okay, wait a minute!" The staff said casually.
First, pick up a few task vouchers to check the task, and then check the items in the package.
"There are a total of three zero-level tasks to obtain green bamboo snake gall, civet animal skin, and collect vermilion blood fruit. The quest items are complete, do you confirm the submission? ”
"Submit! But wait, there's one more task to submit. Alan said.
After speaking, Alan took out another task voucher and a spirit spirit from his arms and handed them over, and the staff took them and checked them.
"First-order quest, get a Wind Weapon Type Spirit." After discovering that it was a first-order task, the staff took it a lot seriously.
After carefully confirming the information of the spirit, Alan asked:
"Are you sure you use this one, the Wind Tooth Dagger Spirit to hand over the task?"
"Sure." Alan replied in the affirmative.
That's right, the one that Eren used to hand over the task was the ordinary first-order wind dagger spirit.
As for the Wind Sword, it was temporarily put up by Allen. Wait until you have the opportunity to sell it with the other spirits in his collection, after all, that spirit is worth a lot of money, and it is too much of a loss to pay for the 100 gold coins to hand in the quest.
After Alan confirmed the submission of the mission, the staff received the mission items and vouchers at the counter, and at the same time picked up Alan's mercenary token to register.
Just as the staff was registering, Alan remembered something and asked the bear beside him:
"Big bear! Have you ever registered as a mercenary? ”
"Boss, I haven't registered!" Xiong Da replied.
Hearing Xiong Da's answer, Alan thought about it and felt that it was too. It turned out that the gang was obviously just using Xiong Da as a tool, so how could they waste time registering him as a mercenary.
So when the staff helped him register the task and handed him the honorarium of 140 gold coins, Alan said to him again:
"Help me register him as a mercenary, and if you bring it, you can call it a violent bear!"
"Okay!" The staff agreed, and soon Xiong Da's mercenary token was ready.
After the handover was completed, Alan did not take on any other tasks. After staying in the jungle for a long time, Alan also has to combine work and rest to take care of it.
At the same time, he has some things on him that he can make good use of and enhance his strength.
Then he took Xiong Da to eat some food in the tavern and improve the food. After all, although the barbecue made by Allen is good, he is tired of eating it for many days in a row.
After eating and drinking, they returned to the restaurant.
In the next few days, Alan didn't go to pick up the task, and guided Xiong Da to cultivate in the building. Although Allen relies on system upgrades to improve his strength, his basic cultivation is still at least better than Xiong Da, who relies entirely on instinct.
At the same time, the Vermilion Blood Fruit obtained in the last mission was also taken out and used by Allen, and Allen obtained a total of 35 pieces. 10 were used to hand over the mission, and 5 of the remaining 25 were sold.
The last 20 pieces were eaten by Alan and Bear, which was exactly the upper limit of 10 pieces per person. As for the panther, it didn't prepare it for eating based on speed.
After eating the 10 Vermilion Blood Fruits, Alan could clearly feel that his flesh had been strengthened. Although the amplitude is not large, it still has some effect.
As for the three purple blood fruits, Alan himself ate one.
It is worthy of being an elixir that can make Aoki Ape mutate and evolve, but it brought him 60% experience, plus the experience gained by continuing to experience after the last upgrade, so that Allen's experience value reached 90% of the first-order and second-order levels.
It may be upgraded again on the next mission, and this speed of improvement surprises Alan himself.
For the remaining two purple blood fruits, Alan gave one to the black panther. In any case, it is a partner who has signed a contract with itself, and there must be a share of it.
A spirit fruit is in the belly, although the level of the panther has not changed. But it has also reached the peak of the first and fourth levels, and you can advance at any time as long as you have the opportunity.
As for the remaining one, it was left by Alan to be kept. Xiong Da has just been promoted, and unlike Allen, who relies on the system without any side effects.
If you advance too quickly, it will cause the foundation to be unstable, so Alan will keep it for him first and wait for his strength to stabilize before letting him take it.
And during the time of repairing in the past few days, Alan also took Xiong Da to the outside of the town to practice combat cooperation. In this way, the strength of the two can be reasonably exerted in the battle, and the advantages can be complementary.
At the same time, during these days, Alan will find time to visit shops and stalls every day. Let's see if you can rely on your own system scanning function to pick up a leak and buy any treasures.
I didn't pick up anything for three days, but I was found by Alan with a set of second-hand pharmacist-specific tools.
Although it is only the most basic and simple version, it is also a rare thing that can only be sold in the city.
I don't know where the seller got it, of course, it may be that someone wanted to try to see if he had the talent to become a pharmacist and bought it to practice, and finally changed hands after failing.
Anyway, this set of tools ended up in the hands of Allen, although it was only a simple version of the second-hand tools. But it also cost him 40 gold coins to get it, which is really expensive.
With the tools in hand, Allen, who had itchy hands, used gold coins to buy some materials for making primary healing potions in the town, and made up 12 copies of each, plus his own 12 blood-streaked grasses, which were just enough to make 12 potions.
Of course, there are certainly not so many finished products in the end, and some mistakes that may occur in the production process will cause formulation failures and waste of materials.
Tools plus medicinal herbs, a total of almost 100 gold coins cost Allen. accounted for one-third of his total property, which can be regarded as a blood investment.
The tools are available, and the materials are complete. Alan couldn't wait to try it, and after returning to the restaurant and telling Xiong Da not to disturb him, he began to act according to the detailed information given by the system in his mind.
In Alan's room in the restaurant, let the panther play aside and not disturb himself, and then Alan began to do it.
First of all, it cleans up all the tools and materials and puts them on the table for later use.
The materials needed for the primary healing elixir, such as Baicao Dew, Blood Coagulation Grass, Living Qi Fruit, Bone Flower, Yellow Lotus Essence, and the Blood Streak Grass obtained by Allen himself, were all processed by Allen according to the requirements.
Let the post-refining work officially begin, first light a small furnace with an energy mine as energy. Then put on the bracket and put the beaker, put in the paracais, heat it up, stir it well in the blood-streaked grass, and then start to filter...
"Poof!" A strange noise came from the beaker, and at the same time, a puff of black smoke came out of the beaker with an unpleasant smell.
In this way, Allen's first potion refining ended in failure, although the system had all the details of the potion recipe related to the potion configuration. The experience was all transmitted into his brain.
But after all, this is his first actual operation, and some steps are still not standard enough, so the potion configuration fails.
However, Alan had already predicted, how could refining potions be so simple?
You must know that there is not a single official apothecary in the entire town of Blackwood, and all potions can only be purchased from outside.
To become a full-fledged pharmacist, you need to have a certain amount of talent. What's more important is that someone needs to spend a lot of money to cultivate. Spending a lot of money and time on experimentation, every pharmacist learns from a lot of failures before they can succeed.
This process consumes a lot of resources, and ordinary forces simply can't afford to consume them.
Even if Alan has the help of the system, he directly instilled a lot of experience in his mind. But to become proficient in these technical experiences, you still have to do it a few more times.
In this way, Alan was not discouraged, calmed down, rested for a while, and then started to work again.
"It's too hot"
"Filtering is not thorough enough"
"It's too late to put in the bone flower"
"Turn off the fire too early, the potion is not completely integrated"
"Whew! Finally succeeded in one! ”
In this way, Eren failed four more times in a row, and finally refined the first primary healing potion on the fifth.
This time, the potion was contained in a finger-thick glass test tube, and the pale green liquid revealed a breath of life.
Although according to the information of the system professor, this potion has been successful, but Allen, who is not at ease, still uses the system scan function and checks it again
Name: Primary treatment agent
Type: Drug
Effect: It can treat minor injuries, speed up wound healing, and also have a certain degree of recovery effect on moderate injuries!
"Good, it really worked!" Seeing the data displayed by the system, Alan said happily.
With this successful potion, even if all the other ingredients were wasted, Eren would not lose money.
Because it is such a primary healing potion, the price in the town has also reached about 100 gold coins, and it is often out of stock.
Don't underestimate it, it can only treat minor injuries and relieve moderate injuries. But in some special cases, maybe such a small potion can make people escape death.
Therefore, whenever there is a caravan in the town that brings potions from the big city, it will be bought by the major mercenary teams and individuals in the town.
After succeeding in one, it was simple, and Alan used the remaining six ingredients to refine four identical primary healing potions.
Together with the one Alan at the beginning, a total of 12 materials were used to successfully refine five potions. The success rate has reached almost 40%, and it should be able to stabilize at about 6 or 70% after proficiency.
This is already a high success rate, even those senior pharmacists come to get it, and only this success rate is there, after all, no one can guarantee 100% success in refining potions.
