Chapter 142: A Situation That Doesn't Allow for Optimism
On the Celestial Star Continent, only those who can refine magic potions are worthy of being called pharmacists. A person who can only dispense potions can only be called a potion apprentice.
In other words, the potions that Bingyan had prepared before were all at the level of an apothecary apprentice. It's just that the difference between him and ordinary potion apprentices is that he knows much more recipes than they do.
Of course, in the previous life, he had been mixing for more than two hundred years, and refining magic potions was actually not a problem, but the current magic level was not up to standard.
If you want to become a pharmacist, you must have at least the level of a ninth-level magician. Because the lowest level of refining magic, it also requires a ninth-level magician to use it.
Now he is equivalent to an eighth-level magician, and he can't reach the minimum threshold of a pharmacist, so he doesn't use the refined version of the magic potion, but uses the most basic blend.
In fact, they don't have a real magic apothecary in the Earl of Eyre, and what they call a pharmacist is just an apothecary apprentice.
In fact, on the mainland, pharmacists are also an extremely rare profession, and the refining magic they use is several times more complex than ordinary magic, which requires them to have extremely strong magic sensitivity and magic manipulation, not to mention the knowledge of medicinal materials.
However, the most fundamental thing is the monopoly of knowledge.
On the Celestial Star Continent, many of the formulas of the blended version of the magic potion have been pinched in their hands, and as for the refined version of the magic potion, the monopoly is even more serious.
Because of the particularity of the refining version of the magic potion, the formula and recipe were accidentally leaked, and it was fine. Apothecaries who have this knowledge can ensure that this magic potion is not leaked out as long as they are not shown to people while refining.
If you want to learn how to make magic potions, you either have to study it yourself or join the Apothecary's Guild.
The Apothecary Guild, which is an alliance of countless pharmacists, has chapters throughout the Celestial Star Continent. The power of this organization is extremely terrifying, not to mention their Lane Kingdom, even the three major empires dare not touch their interests.
Studying on your own is a headless fly, but joining the Apothecary Guild is not so simple. The Apothecary's Guild only recruits extremely talented magical geniuses, and its vetting is so strict that even the four major academies can't match it.
It is precisely because of the power of the Apothecary's Guild that they disdain to open a branch in a remote area like the Earl of Eyre. So they don't have a real pharmacist on their side at all.
The only way to get the magic potions you can make here is to turn to self-taught apothecaries. So it is easy to understand that this person paid a sky-high price of 300 gold coins to ask for medicine.
As for this medicinal herb merchant, he is not a liar, he just made a small amount of money by taking advantage of this announcement. It's a bit opportunistic, but it's not a crime.
"It's decided, let's just prepare this magic potion. ”
Bing Yan said to himself.
Since this heavy search for medicine is true, then he can also start acting. As long as this potion is dispensed, he will have the money to configure a new amplification magic array.
Other people may not know about the refining magic of this potion, but he has also been mixed in the Apothecary Guild for more than a hundred years, where would he not know?
Although he hadn't yet reached the level of an entry-level ninth-level magician, as long as he burned four layers of dragon blood, he would be able to possess the strength of ninth-level magic in a short period of time, just like he had done against Wu Ye in the arena before.
He had already calculated that the duration of burning dragon blood was enough for him to complete the refining of magic. And there is also the magic energy rough stone he just bought, which can ensure that he is not overdrawn energy.
So, this plan is feasible.
"How about brother, do you want to make an appointment?"
At this time, the merchant who sold medicinal herbs also came over. He watched Bingyan look at this announcement for a long time, and he should be interested in this potion.
"Wait. ”
Bing Yan shook his head, although the plan was feasible, he still had to do one last thing before concocting the potion.
"Boss, I want to know, who made this announcement?"
After a pause, Bingyan asked again.
Although he said that he could refine this magic potion, he also had to ensure that the other party would give money! If he concocted the potion himself, but the other party didn't give the money, then where would he reason with it?
"Don't worry, this is an announcement from the Earl. You see, there's also the Count's own seal. ”
Hearing Bingyan's words, the merchant immediately understood what he meant, and also pointed to the place where the announcement was made.
"Oh?"
Bing Yan raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly looked along, only then did he find the earl's seal below.
"It turned out to be from the earl......"
Bing Yan was also a little surprised, why did the Count suddenly need this kind of potion? This kind of potion, but it is used by the mage who has been injured by the stigmata, and the level of the user, and the person of the great mage and above is ineffective.
However, he didn't think much about it, and after knowing that it was the Earl's announcement, he was also relieved to buy medicine and go back to the training camp to prepare it.
"Brother Huoyun, I have already put a heavy reward on this molten potion of money, and there should be news soon. ”
Meanwhile, in the Earl's Palace, the Count is talking to a middle-aged man of a similar age. The middle-aged man was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, and it was clear that he was just as prominent as he was.
In fact, he was really a person with a prominent status, this middle-aged man was the lord of the Earls of Huoyun.
"I hope there are really folk masters. ”
Huoyun replied weakly, obviously still very sad. He originally brought his son to visit the Earl of Eyre, but he didn't expect his son to sneak a group of demonic beasts to practice on the way.
Unexpectedly, the practice was unsuccessful, and his son himself was disabled, if his guards hadn't arrived in time, his son might not have survived.
However, although his son is not dead now, he is almost the same, because his stigma is so badly wounded. If he didn't get the molten potion within a day, his stigma would likely be scrapped.
The day was too short for them to go anywhere else to get the potion of molten gunpowder. Therefore, Count El thought of a way to ask for a lot of money, hoping to get a molten potion.
But he didn't feel optimistic, after all, the county of El was even more remote than them. They didn't have any apothecaries on their side, so how could there be on Earl County's side?
