Chapter 226: Shortcuts
The two old men muttered and discussed for a while, no one knew what they had said, anyway, after the discussion, Balbo was already smiling, and anyone who saw it knew that he was in a good mood now.
After the recipe was announced, the hall of the guild began to become noisy, and the pharmacists who knew each other well were gathering in twos and threes to exchange their thoughts on this recipe, and some of them were full of confidence, and even asked Balbo directly for an apothecary, took out herbs to prop up the cauldron, and fought against the Void Power Elixir.
"These guys, they're really bold enough...... Lin Li looked at them, and couldn't help but shake his head, the first time people who came into contact with the Void Elixir, nine out of ten were going to be driven crazy by it, these guys walked in with confidence, and most of them were going to come out nervously for a while.
Lin Li has experienced this feeling.
Among the formulas known to Lin Li, the Void Power Elixir is undoubtedly the easiest to drive people crazy, all kinds of accidents, even the iron heart can't stand it, often watching the day's efforts are about to bear fruit, but because of a gust of wind blowing, or the flames beat twice, causing a bottle of Void Elixir to directly become poison, once or twice poured it is okay, more than a dozen times, I am afraid that a person can't stand it.
So Lin Li was not in a hurry at all, and after walking around the guild hall, he found a secluded corner and sat down, chatting with Sean while listening to the discussion of the nearby pharmacists.
To be honest, although this exchange meeting gathered the best pharmacists in the whole flange, to Lin Li's ears, their discussion was really lackluster, because Lin Li knew very well in his heart that they had embarked on a wrong path from the beginning.
When Old Green wrote out the formula, a group of pharmacists unanimously decided that this was an impossible task, to grasp the balance of the ten herbs, and to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, which was beyond the limits of what could be achieved by humans, and even the most sophisticated machines were probably impossible to do such a job.
As a result, almost everyone thought of a trick.
Almost all of the discussion revolves around how to be tricky.
It has been proposed that the ten herbs be grouped into categories, each treated according to the requirements of the formula, and then mixed together after the treatment is completed; It has also been proposed to add primordial leaves to the potion to make the structure of the various herbs more balanced and cohesive; Some people even propose to use the dimensional space to prepare in that almost completely ideal state, so as to reduce the accidents that may occur in the preparation process...... There were all kinds of proposals, but Lin Li, who was quietly hiding on the side, frowned when he heard it.
The existence of the Void Power Elixir was originally intended to test the technical level of a pharmacist, in the endless world, if a Potion Master wants to be promoted to a Potion Grandmaster, he must prepare a bottle of Void Power Elixir, which means that although the formula requirements of the Void Power Elixir are not high, the technical requirements belong to the Grandmaster level, and there is no way to trick it before reaching the Grandmaster level.
There were more than a hundred pharmacists present, and there were only a few people who had reached the master level, and as for the grandmaster, there was only one Lin Li, and if he wanted to be clever in the Void Power Elixir, only Lin Li had this qualification.
As for the others, let's honestly sum up the experience of failure.
It sounded like this kind of discussion, and Lin Li was a little tired of listening to it, and finally got out of the guild hall when it was time for lunch.
After lunch, Balbo warmly invited everyone to visit the guild pharmacy.
This morning, everyone should have discussed about it, and it was when their hands were itching, Balbo's invitation naturally got everyone's response, and almost all of the hundreds of potions went up to the second floor, and even the spacious guild pharmacy room was faintly crowded.
In the morning, the guild pharmacy room had already been cleaned up, not at all like an explosion had just occurred, and the apothecary table was full of all kinds of herbs, Lin Li casually glanced at it, and found out the herbs needed for various void power potions such as silver leaf grass, tranquility flower, agave, etc., Balbo's thoughts of taking everyone to visit were naturally self-evident.
"The pharmacists have been discussing all morning, and they must have some ideas, and the guild has prepared various herbs for everyone, and everyone can use them at will."
"I'll try!" Standing out of the crowd was none other than the fat man Hoffman.
As soon as Hoffman stood up, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and several immoral ghosts shouted extremely loudly.
"Haha, Hoffman, can you do it?"
"Hoffman, listen to my advice, you're so fat, you're not fit to be a pharmacist!"
"Yes, yes, Hoffman, don't make a mistake, this recipe can't be made with tricolor flowers!"
"You sluts, sooner or later Lao Tzu will have to teach you a lesson!" Hoffman swaggered over to the apothecary, glaring angrily at a few unscrupulous ghosts, and skillfully sorting the various herbs into categories.
"Hey, this fat man really can't be underestimated......" Lin Li stood in the crowd, seeing everything clearly, when Hoffman classified various herbs, the technique can be said to be extremely skilled, and at a glance, he knew that he was a character who had been working with herbs all year round, especially Lin Li noticed a detail, when he was assigned agave, this fat man actually consciously put agave and silver leaf grass together.
This is a detail that cannot be ignored, even Lin Li himself, after breaking through the grandmaster level, gradually figured it out, when the agave is exposed to the air, it will automatically overflow some juice, and these juices carry a strong corrosive surname, so under normal circumstances, pharmacists put the agave in a beaker, but there is an exception, when a medicine needs to use both agave and silver leaf grass, you can put agave and silver leaf grass together, because this juice will not only not corrode silver leaf grass, On the contrary, it helps the medicinal surname of Silver Leaf Grass to play, and in the process of dispensing medicine, it will save a lot of effort on the pharmacist.
"Of course, this fat man can't be underestimated." I'm afraid only God knows when Anduin stood up, and the sudden words at this time almost didn't scare Lin Li's half life.
"......" Lin Li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to Anduin with a helpless face: "I said Master Mentor, do you know that people are scared to death, please trouble you next time you want to appear, can you squeak first, let me have a psychological preparation?" ”
"yes, I'll squeak next time." Anduin had a rightful look on his face.
"Forget it......" Lin Li shook his head, knowing that he couldn't tell any tricks when reasoning with this old man, he wisely put the topic aside: "I said Master Mentor, this Hoffman is very familiar with you?" ”
"Well, it's an old friend." Anduin nodded, restrained his joking expression, and gradually became serious: "Let me tell you, this guy must not be underestimated, don't look at his amiable face in the Apothecary Guild, do you know what he is doing behind his back?" ”
"What the ...... for"
"This guy is engaged in a high-risk industry."
"Killer?"
"Much more powerful than a killer." Anduin glanced at Hoffman, lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Lin Li's ear: "Spellcaster......"
"Holy!" Lin Li was startled, and immediately remembered the patriarch of the Saruman family in Garros.
"Always, don't mess with him if it's okay, Lao Tzu is looking at him now and his heart is a little empty......"
While the two were muttering, Hoffman had already declared his defeat.
No way, from the beginning he was on the wrong path, although he was indeed a senior pharmacist, both the technology and the details were handled quite well, but helplessly in the wrong direction, everything after that naturally became useless, Hoffman used, it was the most hotly discussed method in the guild hall just now, to classify all the herbs, each according to the requirements of the formula, and then mix together after the processing was completed, in order to complete this complicated work, Hoffman also asked Balbo for a little primordial leaves, so that the various herbs could be mixed together more closely together.
But the result was still a failure...... There is no suspense at all.
"Damn, Lao Tzu obviously didn't make any mistakes, why did he fail inexplicably......" After the fat man failed, he didn't have any disappointed look on his face, just muttered a few words, and then retreated into the crowd again.
No one made fun of him this time, after all, they were all senior pharmacists, and everyone saw Hoffman's just now, everyone knew that even if he changed himself, he could not be stronger than Hoffman technically, and even he failed inexplicably, so I am afraid that changing myself can only be the same result.
After that, two more pharmacists volunteered.
One is a scrawny necromancer, and the other is the leader of the killer who runs the largest assassin organization.
The failure of the necromancer is almost the same as that of Hoffman, technically impeccable, but because he chose the wrong path, he inexplicably turned a bottle of Void Power Elixir into poison, but the cultivation of the necromancer is obviously not as good as Hoffman, and when he retreated to the crowd, his pale face was pale, and even the priest who knew him well did not dare to be bored.
And not to mention the killer boss...... It's just a farce, this guy's potion level, probably Anduin's grade, it's okay to get some arcane potion sober potion, and it's just self-defeating to make a void power potion, and he didn't even deal with the herbs in front of the apothecary, so he retreated in embarrassment.
