Chapter 351: Refining
In the Black Domain, in William's own shop, the neatly dressed William sat cross-legged on the bed with a thoughtful expression.
It's been a while since I left the fairy tale world and came back to the real world.
The Potions Master taught William the basics of potion alchemy, and showed William the three methods of refining potions, and after explaining some of the key points, he went to study William's magic stone by himself.
This kind of cramming education, if you are not talented, you will not learn anything at all!
Fortunately, William had the Magic Mirror.
The Magic Mirror completely printed the Potions Master's refining process and kept playing it back to William.
The process of refining potions is ever-changing!
In the process of William's practice of refining potions, the magic mirror meticulously recorded it, constantly compared it with the refining techniques of the potions master, summed up the experience, and then improved it.
In this way, William's potion refining progressed rapidly.
At first, the "Crimson Moon Drink" was fried four or five times in a row, or it was boiled into a black mass of liquid with an enticing fragrance.
The true Crimson Moon Drink should be an amber, tasteless liquid.
Although the black, fragrant Crimson Moon Drink was tempting, William didn't dare to drink it at all, and he didn't dare to test its efficacy with the courage of "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs", so he just poured it aside.
This time, fifty magic stones are missing.
Because none of these materials are free, this old witch who picks the door has all kinds of materials in her hands, but except for the first free one, everything else - all have to be paid, oh no, it is to collect magic stones.
This damn old witch sat on the ground and took a lot of magic stones from William's hand, that is, William was slaughtered as a fat sheep, and William had no ability to resist, anyway, she was like you like to buy it or not, and she dragged it very much, and ate William.
It's a pity that William, who has the magic mirror, is progressing too quickly.
The fifth Crimson Moon Drink already had an amber color, though it still didn't taste right.
The Scarlet Moon Drink made for the sixth time tastes right, but the color is wrong.
The Drink of the Crimson Moon made for the seventh time is even closer to success.
By the eighth time, the Crimson Moon Drink refined by William was almost no different from the Crimson Moon Drink refined by the Potions Master, the same amber color, the same tasteless!
William took this potion witch for identification, her expression was complicated, although her brows were furrowed, but she still made a correct evaluation: William's Crimson Moon Drink potion was successfully refined, but the quality was a little insufficient, and the quality could only be said to be average.
But that was enough for William to get excited.
Generally, wizards refine potions, the formula is the foundation, the time is controlled, the use of techniques, and the quality of materials, a little mistake will seriously affect the results in the later stage.
Moreover, in the refining of potions, feelings are also very important.
There have been many unreasonable situations, and it is clear that the refining process is perfect, but in the end it fails, and sometimes it is just a little bit of feeling, a little aura in the dark.
Luckily, William felt good.
The side effects of the Crimson Moon Drink were low, and William took the potion on the spot, closing his eyes and meditating on "The Trail of the Stars".
Shining softly on his body like moonlight, William felt his spirit clear.
After the potion effected, William used the magic mirror to detect his mental power attributes, although the data was still 16.3, but William felt that he had improved, although the progress was minimal!
But it's much faster than normal meditation.
It's good that it works, and William is still quite satisfied with this result.
Catch time by the forelock.
Taking advantage of this success, William began to refine the other two potions in high spirits!
The refining of the other two potions is more complicated, and the requirements for the heat in them are even higher.
I did it more than a dozen times in a row, but none of them succeeded.
William was so devastated that he doubted his life and suspected that he had no talent for it.
Fortunately, in the end, William persevered.
He took out the secret potion recipe "Banshee's Blood" that he had obtained at the auction in the Black Domain, translated it into the local language, and used it to exchange it with the Potions Master for her guidance to William.
The Potions Master was obsessed with potions, and when she saw a new recipe for potions, she only hesitated before agreeing.
William immediately gave the potions recipe to the Potions master.
It's just that the recipes on the potions are all material vocabulary on the Black Domain, which is completely different from the fairy tale world.
William had to write down the various material properties on this potion one by one, and let the potions master find a way to solve it.
The potions master only looked at the phases of various materials, and after thinking for a while, he recognized the value of this potion and personally instructed William in the refining of potions.
Sure enough, the effect of someone who has come to personally point out is different, and there are some extremely subtle points that the magic mirror can't completely understand.
Under the guidance of this potions master, William made great strides in the refining process of the other two potions.
Forty days later, William successfully refined the evil spirit powder, and after making sufficient preparations that night, William drank the evil spirit powder to improve his mental power.
At that time, William had been taking the Crimson Moon Drink, and his mental power had reached 16.5, and after eating the evil spirit powder, William's spiritual power had directly reached 16.8!
Forty-seven days later, William succeeded in refining the Helem Elixir. At this time, William's mental power successfully broke through to 17 points.
After nearly two months, the Potions Master, who forgot to punish the donkey, succeeded in researching the potion of "Banshee's Blood" using local materials.
The blood of the banshee was replaced by the blood of a magical beast with extraordinary powers, and the effect of the new potion was only one-third of that of the original, but it was much more convenient to use, and the side effects were much reduced.
The potions master in the black domain couldn't do it in hundreds of years, but this potions master in the fairy tale world only used more than two months.
When the Potions Master was studying, William was also watching, and when the Potions Master was successfully developed, William also held this potion in his heart.
In this way, on this fairy tale journey, William mastered the refining of the four potions, and in the black domain, he had surpassed the level of a potions apprentice and reached the realm of a first-order potions master.
A first-order potion master is able to refine potions that are useful for first-order wizards!
Several times in the area where William is now, I don't know if there is a first-order potions master with ten exponential powers.
The preciousness of the first-order potions master can be seen from this.
Of course, William's foundation as a first-order potions master is not very solid, he didn't start practicing and growing up from the basic apprentice-level potion formula, just like a pavilion in the sky, it looks good, but it's not steady!
William had wanted to stay in the Potions Master's tower and plantation to see if he could learn more about potions.
But the Potions Master was tired of him, and after seeing that he had mastered the refining of several potions, he didn't want to keep him there.
The Potions Master had always been wary of William, and took advantage of this opportunity to drive William away.
William was helpless, and although he wanted to say "I'm a good guy" to the potions master, it was clear that people didn't think so at all.
He had to buy a lot of materials and seeds from the Potions Master, spend thousands of magic stones, and then reluctantly leave her base camp.
