Did I really guess wrong?

Faced with such self-doubt, Qin Ran finally shook his head.

It's not stubbornness, or refusal to admit mistakes.

It's just that he can't give up his doubts about Finks until the doubts in his heart are solved.

But that didn't stop him from continuing to find Finks and take care of the teenagers who were suffering from the 'spell backlash'.

In the former, he reached a cooperation with some famous private detectives through Shi Qi.

On the premise that there is enough money to pay them, these private detectives are willing to help.

There is strength in numbers.

Qin Ran would never ignore such wise sayings.

Even though he is far superior to these private detectives, he is far inferior to these professionals when it comes to finding people.

Of course, if the Finks left some conspicuous traces, that's another story.

The skill [Tracking] was enough for Qin Ran to show extraordinary ability in this regard.

Unfortunately, the Finks did not leave any conspicuous traces.

Therefore, Qin Ran had to rely on the most traditional way: inquiring!

The only thing to be thankful for is that he didn't have to go into battle himself.

With Shi Qi's introduction, those private detectives can naturally be trusted.

Whether it is ability, or character.

He just had to wait quietly.

As for the latter?

Qin Ran's gaze fell on the crucible in front of him.

A lit alcohol lamp was continuously heating the crucible, the grease in the crucible was melting due to the temperature, and when it melted to a state similar to a liquid but containing solids, Qin Ran carefully added the sun-dried hibiscus flowers and ground sandalwood powder to it.

He tried to make the sprinkling of hibiscus flowers and sandalwood powder evenly into the oil, and carefully controlled the heat, trying to complete this step before the oil completely melted into a liquid.

This is not an easy task.

It takes countless experiences to accumulate experience.

In fact, this was the fifth time Qin Ran had made a calming ointment.

The first four times, all failed at this step.

Either because the powder of the two plants is not homogeneous enough, or because the oil is completely melted. However, the two plant powders were not incorporated into the oil.

Another time was because of a change in the temperature of the alcohol lamp.

And Simmons didn't have much potion material to give him.

At most, it can be refined two more times before it runs out.

Although Qin Ran believed that if he spoke, Simmons would definitely give him more materials.

But if he could, Qin Ran didn't want to do it.

Because, again, you owe the other party a favor.

Therefore, this time, Qin Ran became more and more careful.

Under Qin Ran's gaze, the last bit of powder in the small wooden bowl was all integrated into the grease, and the next moment the solids in the grease completely melted.

The liquid grease that should have been yellowish in white quickly turned purple.

"It worked!"

Qin Ran looked at such a transformation. A flash of joy flashed across his face.

However, he did not forget what to do next because of his joy.

Carefully extinguish the alcohol lamp.

Wait for the oil to solidify naturally.

Throughout the process, Qin Ran stood in front of the crucible to check the change.

When the grease completely solidified into a purple semi-solid, Qin Ran obtained the first potion he had refined by himself in his life.

Qin Ran, who obtained the first potion refining by himself in his life. It didn't take long for another piece of good news.

(Note: You are learning to master this skill.) Therefore, it is not possible to increase the skill level by relying on points and skill points! If you want to improve, you need to continue studying or skill books! ）

……

Look at the Potions science that appears. and the label of 'mastered: Ningshen ointment' in the subordinate column, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

After nearly three weeks of study, I finally got a reward.

There is a reward for learning, and there is a reward for labor.

It's a wonderful feeling.

However, even if it was wonderful, Qin Ran would not be immersed in it and could not extricate himself, making himself stand still.

He knew exactly what he was going to do next.

"Alchemy and astrology are left!"

Qin Ran thought as he sealed the bowl containing the [Tranquility Ointment] with plastic wrap.

This is also a guide from Simmons, of course.

It looks a little weird, but it works pretty well! ’

'Go far beyond some of the traditional methods!' ’

Qin Ran clearly remembered that after seeing Simmons' approach, the other party looked a little embarrassed.

For traditional methods, Qin Ran was unable to make an evaluation because of his limited learning.

But for the use of plastic wrap, Qin Ran is still very much in favor.

At least, it's convenient.

Holding the bowl containing the [Tranquility Ointment], Qin Ran walked towards No. 2 Black Street.

He needed these ointments to ease the suffering of the young men and to share the joy of his success with Simmons.

After instructing Qin Ran to make this potion independently, Simmons spent most of his time on the teenagers at No. 2 Black Street.

Qin Ran could see that Simmons also had considerable research on 'spell casting backlash'.

Otherwise, there would be no potions like [Tranquility Ointment].

That's right, the [Tranquility Ointment] was created by Simmons himself.

When he heard the news for the first time, Qin Ran was both surprised and relieved.

Surprised by Simmons's potions attainments, relieved that Nikellet is commensurate with Simmons' friend, and sure enough, because Simmons has a unique ability.

"Welcome!"

"Even better than I thought it would be!"

"Originally, I thought that 2567 would take you at least two weeks to complete the production of [Tranquility Ointment]!"

Sitting in a chair, Simmons, who was flipping through a book, looked at Qin Ran who walked in and immediately laughed.

It was a genuine, heartfelt smile.

"Doesn't that prove that I'm gifted and you're teaching me well?"

Qin Ran praised with a slight teasing.

"Of course!"

Simmons accepted the compliment without hesitation.

Then, he waved at Qin Ran casually.

When Qin Ran walked to his side, Simmons picked up the book in his hand and showed one of the pages to Qin Ran.

There's brand new text on it that doesn't belong to the book itself.

Boyle has quirks!
