"Cultivator" pharmacy.

The room is spacious, well-lit, with a crystal skylight on the dome, and arch-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows on the walls, and a circuit of magic energy running along the edges, dotted with star-like gems dotted at the nodes, which are dim at this time, but when the night comes, they will replace the sun's lighting.

"It's really extravagant, it seems that the pharmacist profession is quite sufficient......" Levi looked around the room and whispered quietly.

"There's no such thing as a magic lieutenant!" Blaise said with a clear level of knowledge, "a forger, a circle master, or even a puppeteer, if you are proficient in any of them, you will be able to master the 'alchemy'." As for the armorer, you and I don't even think about it, I heard that there is not a single person with that kind of qualification. ”

Levi nodded, and continued to look around.

The room is a six-by-six layout, a total of thirty-six workbenches, the countertop is rigorously arranged, the front end is a row of test tubes from large to small, on the left side are mortars, evaporation dishes, condensation tubes and other utensils, and on the right hand side are placed a variety of colorful magic materials.

Except for the alcohol lamp replaced by a magic stove in the center of the countertop that resembles a "planetary engine", this workbench is not much different from the chemistry lab in Levi's memory.

At the end of the rectangular pharmacy, a door was opened, and out of the door came an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with the words "Unkind" written on his face.

Levi noticed that the man had alopecia on the top of his head, pitted face, and burn marks on the back of his hands and front elbows.

"Mr. Aaron. Someone knew him and greeted him respectfully.

Aaron coughed, did not answer, but knocked on the wall behind him with an expressionless face: "There are pharmaceutical facilities and refining materials on the workbench, and the pharmaceutical process is posted here, whoever can be the first to refine these three potions and pass my review will be my assistant." Also, everyone only gets one chance, because the people I hate the most are people who waste materials. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the participants gathered around and perused the notice posted on the wallboard.

Levi blended in the crowd, didn't look at the notice first, and swept his gaze left and right.

There are still a lot of competitors, and there are probably no vacant seats for the thirty-six workbenches.

Levi made a judgment in his heart, and he also calmed down, and read the proclamation word by word, not daring to skip a single word.

He knows that "carefulness" is the most important quality of an assistant, and there is no one.

"A good night's dreams, a star in a bottle, a perfume of Eros. Levi stroked his chin and commented secretly, "If nothing else, the name is quite elegant, and it also conforms to the characteristics of the potion, like a luxury." ”

A good night's dreams, taking potions, the effect is similar to sleeping pills, but the effect is better, can weave a night of sweet dreams, making people addicted; the star in the bottle is a luminous liquid, which can release the light of exorcism similar to the holy light, expelling resentful spirits, zombies, skeleton soldiers and other necromantic creatures, and also has a certain effect on evil creatures and disciples of the old gods; and the perfume of the god of love is the most magical, it is a smear-type potion, similar to a certain male hormone, which can have a fatal attraction to women.

On the notice, the pharmaceutical process is listed in rows, the description is quite complex, the steps are cumbersome and detailed, and the dosage, heat, and sequence of drugs are also extremely exquisite, and some places even seem to be verbose and chatty, which makes people annoying.

Levi read intently, but his expression became more cautious.

He understands that the more rambling the description, the more demanding the pharmaceutical requirements and the more careful he must be.

At this time, the teenagers around him had turned around and strode to the workbench.

Blaise also blended in with the crowd and hurriedly beckoned to Levi.

"Oh, so that'......" He bowed slightly, realizing something, but he didn't hurry to leave.

There is no time limit for pharmaceuticals, but the first successful person to qualify, such a clause will make the trainees compete with each other for fear of falling behind. However, these teenagers seem to have overlooked another rule, and everyone only has one chance.

"A young man is a young man, too impetuous, to be calm. Levi made an outsider's assessment, but he himself was one of them.

He walked to the corner workbench and took a few deep breaths to let the pharmaceutical process go through his mind again, and then he started to make it unhurried.

"The first step is ......"

Levi's expression was calm, his hands were equally steady, and he did not deliberately speed up because he was lagging behind, but followed the process step by step, and even followed the process a little rigidly.

"Oh?" Aaron glanced at Levi and nodded imperceptibly, "Unlike those frivolous and impatient little guys, this kind of calm and cautious posture and attitude has some cultivation value, it depends on the talent." ”

As early as when the rules were announced, he was secretly observing all the cadets.

At first, Levi didn't leave a good impression on Aaron, especially the wisp of smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, which looked cynical and a little frivolous.

What Aaron didn't expect was that this seemingly frivolous little guy was the most carefully read, the most peaceful, and the most calm and orderly pharmaceutical process.

About a quarter of an hour later, many teenagers had already begun to work on the "star in a bottle", and Levi had just completed a "good night's dream".

"What's wrong?"

Aaron noticed that Levi's hands were still steady, but his face was no longer calm, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, his expression was distorted, his vision was full of complex emotions, and his teeth were even more clenched, like a mouse grinding his teeth.

"Is it because he has no talent?" Aaron shook his head, a little disappointed, "This is normal, the medicine technique seems simple, but not everyone can master it." It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Seeing that the time was almost up, he turned around, opened the door at the end of the pharmacy, and walked in. At the other end of the door is a small room connected to the pharmacy room, which resembles an office in terms of the arrangement of items.

Aaron sat down, ready to begin the review.

......

"Your creations will always belong to chaos. ”

Levi didn't say a word, but the corners of his eyes twitched, and in his mind, a familiar phrase played back and forth like a single loop.

"Looks like I'm a pharmaceutical whiz. After a while, he said in a voice that only he could hear.

Li Wei let out a long sigh, with a face of "my heart is dead, and I have something to burn paper", but his hands are still orderly and there is no omission.

The pharmacy room fell silent, and even the swaying of the flames in the magic stove was audible.

In one corner of the house, the hourglass scale is falling, and time is silently passing away every minute.

Soon, someone rushed to finish the pharmaceutical.

The silver-eyed boy looked around left and right, his eyes were a little happy, his face was as calm as possible, and he rushed into the small room at the end with light steps.

In less than half a minute, Aaron's cold voice came out of the room.

"What do you think of me as a place? and dare to hand it over such garbage?"

Then, it's a neat "get out".

"-Get out!"

Aaron's roar concealed the power of the rules, and the roar provoked a violent storm, enveloping the student and flying upside down from the door, keeping his feet off the ground, and flying straight to the other end of the pharmacy, his back slammed against the wall, his whole body pressed against the wall.

The muffled sound of the student landing and the screams that followed made many people's fingers tremble, and their expressions showed hesitation and fear, and their movements were somewhat deformed.

They face another layer of pressure, in addition to the competitors around them, and Aaron's "Storm Fury".

Levi was still calm, there was no wave on his face, and his fingers were as smooth as ever.

As I said earlier, if there is anything that years of street fighting career have brought him, it is the cheekiness of being scolded as a eunuch after breaking off without warning, and the strong psychological quality of being frantically sent a blade after writing the heroine to death on a whim.

"Rubbish!"

"Idiot!"

"Get out!"

......

The top of the hourglass grew shorter, and one potion after another was presented, in exchange for more impatience and brief evaluations, but the "Storm Fury" became more and more tyrannical, and a roaring giant's face loomed in the wind, almost making Levi suspect that it was not Aaron in the room, but the bald priest Immorton who performed the mummy version of "The Ghost Love".

There are fewer and fewer people left.

Blaise also failed in a wild roar and left disgraced, and before leaving, he reluctantly gave Levi a gesture of "Lady luck bless you".

"It's my turn. Levi took a deep breath and walked to the small door at the end.

His steps were heavy, like a condemned prisoner walking towards the gallows.

Li Wei had a hunch of what was waiting for him, and it was not from the mage's intuition, but from careful logical reasoning.

"Well, I'm fine," he said in a good mood, "Mr. Aaron won't be, will he?"

......

"Huh?" Aaron's eyebrows tightened, his eyes revealing confusion, "these three potions...... Why has the color changed?"

He was surprised and puzzled.

"A Good Night's Dream" is light green, but Levi refines it in gray-black; "Eros's Perfume" is supposed to be transparent, but the other party's hand is pale gold, and there is a little bit of blurry starlight; "Stars in a Bottle" is even stranger, it should be overflowing with pure, sacred, and brilliant light, but after passing through his hands, it is no different from water.

What's even more bizarre is that, logically speaking, this kind of work that obviously does not conform to the prescription should have chaotic underlying rules and extremely poor stability, but Aaron sensed the fluctuation of the magic energy of the potion, but sensed that its underlying rules were self-consistent. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a human and a demon, although they are two sides of the coin, each of them is stable.

"The potion you have refined, even I can't see through it!So, you have improved the potion?" Aaron sat unchanged, his hands crossed in front of him, "Tell me, what is the effect of these three potions?"

"It's not an improvement, it's a small attempt. Levi smiled innocently and said cautiously.

Even he thought the smile was silly.

"Tell me about it. Aaron didn't mind and waved his hand.

Li Wei gently shook the first test tube and slowly introduced: "The effect of a good night's dream is 'good sleep', and the kind I have refined, the sleep effect is fifty or sixty percent stronger than that of a good night's dream, and even the body will not wake up if it is injured." ”

"Oh?" Aaron's eyelids lifted and he became interested, "Are there no side effects?"

"Uh-" Levi hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "This potion, maybe it would be more accurate to change the name." ”

"What's the name?" Aaron asked again.

"A nightmare. Levi paused and continued, "Those who take potions will sleep in the deepest nightmares and have nightmares all night. ”

"What kind of nightmare?" Aaron asked, frowning.

"It's the kind of nightmare that makes your scalp tingle, makes your heart pound, makes you shiver, and makes you wake up more tired than before bed, like a tiring night. Levi said honestly.

When Aaron heard this, his face fell.
