Chapter 227: What's the Problem?
With the injection of the dark energy technique, the inside of the cauldron that was still mixed up immediately changed, and the medicinal herbs and water began to boil and tumble, as if someone had lit a flame underneath.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman knew that it should be the formula that had taken effect, and even Lin Sisi on the side observed the changes in the pot through the special perceptual vision of the spirit exploration technique, and his eyes were just staring, with joy on his face.
"It's working! It actually moved on its own! ”
Dane pointed to the pot and said that for him and Sam, such a scene was exactly like the mysterious alchemy they imagined:
In a mysterious secret, a powerful "magician" added ingredients to the cauldron, and the pot made a "gurgling" sound, making people extremely anticipating what kind of magical potion could be refined inside.
The two brothers are now going through such a process firsthand, although they understand that the other party is not a so-called magician, but an awakened person from the Star Alliance.
But they just can't help but think in that direction, just like a good man, every time they see Zhang Xiaoman using the Zixiao Divine Sword, they always can't help but think about the aspect of swordsmanship.
Such an immersive experience gives them a feeling of fairy tales coming true, which is extremely novel and exciting.
It's just that the ingredients in the crucible became drier and drier in the process of boiling, and in the end, the fire was directly extinguished, and it became a hard and sticky mass of things.
"This ...... What's going on, failed? ”
Sam couldn't help but ask when he saw the scene in front of him, if he remembered correctly, what the star lord said just now was to refine some kind of potion, right? But looking at the pot now, it can't match the word medicine.
Zhang Xiaoman also frowned and looked at all this, he was now also blessed with the effect of the spirit detection technique, in his perception, the original surging dark energy fluctuations in the pot decreased sharply, and in the end, it simply disappeared, and the things inside also became the current hard pot-like appearance.
"Did it fail?"
He had already guessed now, after all, this thing didn't look like a potion, and it was even more impossible to say that it was successful.
However, this situation was already expected by him, Zhang Xiaoman had already prepared before he came, and the materials he brought were sufficient, enough for him to try many times.
"My steps just now are all correct, the dark energy formula is no problem, and the material ratio is also correct, what is the problem?"
Zhang Xiaoman didn't understand the reason for this failure, and decided to start again after pondering for a while.
"30 ml of Touch Spirit Flower, 80 ml of pure water, 3 drops of snake venom, 5 grams of fairy grass...... Okay, that's all right, and the next step is to inject the dark energy spell......"
In this attempt, he made each step a little more serious, and weighed each material several times before putting it to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
With the injection of dark energy techniques, the cauldron boiled again.
However, this time, the result was no different from the last time, the dark energy fluctuations in the pot were also gradually decreasing, until finally disappeared completely, accompanied by the large pile of materials all solidified into a stiff pot.
"Failed again? Why is this happening? I've already followed the steps I've written......"
Zhang Xiaoman looked helplessly at the codex he used to record the dark energy technique, trying to find out what he had gone wrong with.
"Could it be that there is too much dragon beard grass? No, no, this should be fine, maybe I'm running out of water, and I don't necessarily say it's not necessary...... Forget it, I'll try again, this time I'll have to be a little more careful! ”
Zhang Xiaoman searched for the reason in his heart for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest clue, so he decided to try a few more times.
……
Three hours later.
In Winchern Manor, under an abandoned granary that had been destroyed by flames, four people were working around a small crucible, inside which were some coffee-colored hard things stuck together, and in a trash can next to several people, a lot of this waste residue had been dumped.
Obviously, Zhang Xiaoman's inspiration potion was never made, and after hours of attempts, it ended in failure.
"What's the problem, I'm sure all the steps are right, but the result will always fail to refine, could it be that the recorded dark energy technique is wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the formula in his hand with some depression, he had already failed 5 times, because each refining required more than 100 dark energy, so his speed was not very fast, and he often had to use the Starry Stone to brush a wave of energy after he was not blue, and then use the teleportation technique to rush back.
The two brothers also looked at the cauldron in front of them with some helplessness at this time, and they couldn't help but think of the scenes they had seen in those legends.
When magicians refine new potions, they need to go through countless failed attempts and accumulation before they can successfully produce a finished potion.
Now after what happened just now, the two of them now have a little more recognition of this statement, it seems that alchemy is not so easy to control, and it is indeed not easy to configure a new potion.
"Dane, when will the next batch of Touch Flowers ripen?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the left and back part of the Soul Flower juice in his hand, and asked about the time when they had matured.
"According to my observations, the next batch of Touch Flowers may not mature until ten days later, that is the most recent batch, and the number is not much, and it may only be possible to extract a total of about ten bottles."
Dane replied that he was talking about a bottle that naturally meant the amount needed to make it at one time, which was 30 milliliters.
"Ten days? It seems that the production of this inspiration potion may be delayed for a while......"
Zhang Xiaoman frowned and thought, he only had the last material left in his hand, if he failed this time, then he would have to wait at least ten days to get the inspiration potion.
He was thinking about the problem, when Lin Sisi, who had been silently observing next to him, suddenly moved.
During the time she had just now, she would brush herself up with a spirit detection technique every hour, and although her eyes couldn't see, the special dark energy perception still allowed her to clearly know the changes in the dark energy generated during the refining process.
At this moment, Lin Sisi immediately raised his head as if he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flashing with silver light followed him to the person in front of him.
"Star Lord, I know where the problem is......"
