Chapter 475: Medicinal Properties

With the help of the skull key, even the almost seamless trap in front of him was pried open by Derryman, and the key part was opened alive and directly destroyed. This situation made Wei Xu once again confirm the power www.biquge.info of this skull key, and estimated that the so-called "opening all the locks" was not a bluffing gimmick.

"Watch out for that Neengen, don't take it lightly." Wei Xu looked at the mage who couldn't wait to go in and inspect the scarlet plant, and only came to remind him urgently.

But fortunately, his noble status as a lord is still useful, as soon as the words fell, he saw that the mage who had already entered the room in front of him stopped, turned to Wei Xu and saluted, and then continued to walk towards the plant. Before getting closer, I didn't forget to take out the mortar crucible in my waist bag and the small scissors for collection, ready to sample and analyze.

Standard pedantic ...... Wei Xu watched this mage's every move and muttered in his heart. Then he didn't rush to study the Scarlet Neengen with the mage, and walked directly to the dead mage in the corner. Rather than starting from scratch with a physical object, he prefers to see how far this mage has gone before he talks about it.

"The second month, the ninth day

An adventurer who emerged from an underground dwarven ruin came to me with a scarlet herb, which, according to him, had fallen into an underground dwarven ruin. According to the inscription he copied, it can be seen that the place should be the legendary 'black fall'......

The second seed month, the 10th

This scarlet herb, no! It should be called the scarlet Neengen, and the sleepy someone sent a pillow, isn't this the best proof of the problem of Nayngen's habits that I researched before?! Ha ha! The stupid adventurer left me a map to go to the Black Drop when he left, and I gave him a thousand gold coins in return. And this scarlet Neengen ended up being relegated to an appendage. He didn't know that I could pay a thousand gold for this herb alone!

The month of the fire, the 11th

…… Pack your bags and head out as soon as possible. I can't wait to take a closer look at the secret realm that has not been touched...... Black Fall, I'm coming!

……

The month of the Hearth, the twentieth day

Mora on top, finally! I finally found it! This red wonder plant! I'm going to try to transplant a few plants into the house where I'm temporarily staying......

Recording:

Name: Scarlet Neengen

【Morphology】Herbaceous plant with red serrated leaves. The leaves are thick and juicy, the roots are thin and dense, and they grow in moist areas along dark rivers. The mesophyll itself oscillates at a specific frequency under the action of the juice in the body, making a unique sound.

【Sample data】6 inches high, 8 inches in diameter

【Efficacy】The edge of the leaf is crimson sap, highly toxic, and has a certain volatility after being blended with ordinary Nene root. Reddish sap in the middle of the leaf, hallucinogenic Mesophyll, unknown efficacy. Leaf bark, unknown efficacy. Roots, unknown efficacy......

The month of the fire, the 30th

I really decided to use that method...... All other methods of analysis of the plant that I know of have come to a completely useless stage...... Well, it is certain that one or more of its mesophyll, skin, and roots have a great and possibly permanent effect on the human body...... Ten days have passed, and my physical condition has deteriorated. If I can't figure out its effects, then I'll probably be delayed to death by the effects! I can't help it...... I can only use this last method, the most primitive means of analysis, and only in this way can I feel its most intuitive impact on the human body......"

The diary ends at this place, and the owner of the diary thinks that he has directly taken this scarlet Neengen and is directly given by the strong toxin in it, and there is a scribbled thing at the end that is completely unrecognizable, which is probably the last struggle of this mage.

On the other side, after Wei Xu had just finished reading the useful information in the diary, the mage over there had already finished observing the appearance of this "newly discovered" plant. The small stove and crucible have been set up, and they are ready to start collecting materials for effect testing. Driven by curiosity, Wei Xu also walked over and carefully watched the movements of this mage......

After a few hours of identification, the mage finally divided the three parts of powder and three parts of the juice evenly. Judging by his casual but methodical approach and how well he is familiar with doing this, Wei Xu can be sure that this guy must have received complete guidance from an alchemist before.

"My lord, the medicinal properties have been investigated." Seeing that the lord had been indulging in watching his alchemy for hours, there was obviously some pleasure in the mage's tone. Wei Xu's attention made him feel honored.

The mage was secretly happy in his heart, and he had already begun to introduce his results to Wei Xu: "This is the red juice in the leaves, which has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and its effect is similar to that of Moon Candy; The red liquid in the second bottle is the sap on the edge of the leaf, which is highly toxic and a little more toxic than the ordinary Nairngen. The remaining mushy root juice is a plant nutrient solution that is edible and has the effect of restoring physical strength according to my inference and the personal experiment just now. However, due to the incomplete materials I have prepared at the moment, the specific effect of these three bottles of powder has not been analyzed. ”

Yes! For the first time, Wei Xu took a serious look at the dark elf mage in front of him. As a superior, there are so many subordinates of his own, if you ask each one to remember, it really requires brain cells to consume too much and die of overwork. Therefore, Wei Xu has long been accustomed to "selective face blindness", and he will only pay attention to those who show enough talent here.

And the dark elf in front of him, who was wearing a mage robe that the Half-Moon Collar Mage Group had bought from the Mage Academy, and had a full potion bag around his waist, naturally met this requirement. You must know that judging from the diary, it took many days for the dead mage lying on the ground to understand the two effects of this scarlet neengen, and the dark elf mage in front of him could actually measure it in just a few hours.

"Very good......" Wei Xu glanced at the dark elf appreciatively. Master, what's your name? ”

"Mario...... My name is Mario, my lord. The Dark Elf mage replied with trepidation, although he was over forty years old, according to the life span of the Dark Elves, he was now in his adolescence.

Horse...... Mario? Wei Xu struggled to resist the urge to twitch his cheeks, and a cartoon character holding a pipe wrench suddenly flashed in his mind.

Such an anomaly Wei Xu quickly suppressed it, and no one noticed Wei Xu's expression just now: "Mario...... According to your talent for discerning medicinal properties, it is estimated that you are already a qualified alchemist, why don't you take the test? You deserve better......"

Mario coughed awkwardly, "Honestly, my lord...... I just got the first half of an alchemist's note, which only talks about how to discern medicinal properties......"

"What?" Wei Xu glanced at this dark elf mage in surprise and asked tentatively, "Are you self-taught?" ”

Mario was obviously a little overwhelmed by Wei Xu's side-of-the-road focus, shouldn't ordinary people notice the fact that he "can't refine medicine"?

“…… Any questions? Your Excellency ......" Mario asked tentatively.

Wei Xu has also been in the position of lord for a few years, and after being surprised for a while, he quickly recovered his emotions, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think that your talent in alchemy shouldn't be buried here." When you get back, remember to come to me and I'll send you a letter of introduction, and you can go to the Ulag Guru at the Mage Academy for a year. ”

Talented? Wei Xu didn't know for sure, but Wei Xu saw this guy's talent in alchemy. Even if someone else got the complete alchemist's notes, it was impossible to do every step of the medicinal herb identification so easily.

And some things really can't be made up for by sweat, just like when separating the medicinal properties of the Blue Mountain Flower, the part of the liquid that distills out to treat the wound is only a few tenths of a percentage point higher than the part of the liquid that damages the mana, and these few tenths of a percent A gifted person can tell two bottles of liquid at a glance, And people who lack talent will not see the reason for it in their lives (so most of the blood-invigorating potions in the hands of pharmacists who are obscure will have more or less mental fatigue side effects after excessive drinking). Not to mention that the two bottles in front of me are red liquids that have been separated from the leaves and are almost indistinguishable in the dim light!
