Chapter 43: Concealment and Penetration
For the rest of the time, he deliberately stared at the crucible motionlessly, pretending to be counting the time, and when it was almost cooked, he immediately poured it out separately and cooled it.
There is no problem with the movements, and the performance is quite skillful, but it is not as perfect as before, and it is done in one go.
Ye Qing did this on purpose, he had thought about it before he came, he was excellent, between excellent and genius, but not too genius, the ten plates were so perfect like a mold, it was too incredible.
If it is an apprentice who has studied pharmacy for a few years, it is understandable, but he has only been exposed to pharmacy for a day, and it is too perfect to be too incredible, and it may have the opposite effect.
As the saying goes, half a step ahead is a genius, and a step ahead is a demon, these are within the scope of understanding and acceptance, but if you are more than one step ahead, it is five steps and ten steps, then it will not work, it is a monster, an existence that cannot be understood.
This copy is not a reality of scientific and technological prosperity, the power of religion is still very strong, and this kind of over-limelight should not be done.
That's why Ye Qing deliberately did this, making himself a genius one step ahead, not a monster ten steps ahead.
Stir well, pour in, shake, he deliberately kept it within a certain range, guaranteed to succeed, but could not refine the perfect potion.
Soon, the first small red vial appeared in his hand, set it aside, and began to mix it a second time.
The second time he deliberately failed to blend, and the amplitude was slightly larger when he shook it, and the result was that the fusion potion was half red and half silver, which was definitely not qualified.
By the third time, he succeeded again.
By the fourth time, it failed again, and the failure was that the temperature was wrong at the beginning, and it was deliberately used for deployment without waiting for the cooling time, and failure was inevitable.
The fifth time, the sixth time, all failed, and only by the seventh time, did he begin to succeed one after another, and he succeeded twice in one breath, until the ninth time, he deliberately pretended to be low in energy, and when he first cooked the material, the heat was not enough, and the material was not completely boiled, and the result was bound to fail.
So nine deployments, four successes and five failures.
The old mage didn't bother him the whole time, and kept watching Ye Qing deploying, and by the ninth time, the old mage simply didn't look at the mixing, but looked at him and his gestures, and a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Qing pretended to sigh, preparing to clean the utensils and start the last blending, when he accidentally looked up and saw the smile on the corner of the old mage's mouth, his heart trembled, his hand shook slightly, and he almost dropped a beaker.
It's just that the old mage's smile is too magical, as soon as he sees it, he feels a message passed to him in this smile - boy, don't pretend, I can see it.
Yes, there was a message in the smile, and he could feel it clearly.
This embarrassed him, holding the tool and not knowing whether to continue or...
"Why don't you continue?"
The old mage restrained his smile and looked at Ye Qing who came out from behind the experimental table.
The tenth time he didn't continue, because he knew that the old mage must have seen something, and besides, he had succeeded four times, and he had already passed the level.
After a little embarrassed and thinking for a moment, Ye Qing decided to tell the truth, looked up at the old mage, and asked in a low voice:
"Did the teacher see it?"
The old mage smiled, and did not say anything else, but tapped the experimental table with the stick in his hand, and said:
"Use your real skills and mix it a few more times."
Sure enough, knowing it, Ye Qing patted his forehead with his left hand, and could only nod.
When he came to the experimental table, the voice of the old mage came:
"You must know that mages are not ordinary people who can do it, the better you are, the greater your achievements will be in the future, don't worry that you are too good, I'm afraid you are not good enough! Could it be that your talent can be compared to that of the Son of God? ”
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up as if he suddenly realized, nodded to the old mage, and then put his eyes on the experimental table in front of him, took a deep breath, and began to prepare the secondary life elixir.
Skillfully throw the two ingredients into the two crucibles, turn on the stove, and as soon as the lid is placed, they don't care about it.
Then pick up a plate and prepare the materials on the back shelf, the heating furnace behind it ignored it, took ten materials again, processed them one by one on the laboratory table, put the plate aside, and then picked up the tongs to filter the boiled melt into the evaporation dish.
Then place the evaporator dish on the oven with the temperature turned down, and then prepare the flasks, glass rods, etc.
After waiting for a while, pour the melt that has been evaporated and concentrated into two beakers, stir them separately, wait for them to cool, and then pour them into the flasks in turn, and shake them gently.
The whole process time is controlled exactly the same as the previous perfect blend, the swing frequency is exactly the same, and the finished product is exactly the same as before, which is a perfect secondary life potion.
The old mage on the side kept stroking his long beard and watching him mix it, and when he saw the bright red finished potion, he reached out and took it, opened the cork and drank it directly, and then nodded.
At this time, Ye Qing was deploying for the second time.
If the old mage was very happy the first time he was blended, his eyes were a little serious the second time, especially when the last two raw materials were fused and swayed, his gaze was always on Ye Qing's wrist.
As soon as the second bottle was concocted, the old mage took a sip and drank it.
By the time of the third dispensing, the old mage's expression was already very serious, and he just stood motionless in front of the experimental table and looked at his hands.
This time, the old mage didn't drink, but stood there motioning for him to continue.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth times, the old mage's expression became more and more serious, and there was not a trace of a smile on his face.
When the eighth deployment was completed, the old mage suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Ye Qing from preparing to continue the deployment, and said:
"No need to continue, you come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the rattan chair and sat down.
Ye Qing was a little apprehensive, after listening to the old mage's words, he didn't spare his hand, he went all out, and the eight deployments were exactly the same, like a mold printed. But the old mage's expression is so serious, there won't be any problem, right?
Walked up to the old mage and stood still, looking at him expectantly.
After a long while, the old mage looked up at Ye Qing, a strange light bloomed in his eyes, and he said:
"Your talent is beyond my expectations, it surprises me so much, I have never seen it before, and even I am jealous of it."
Hearing this, Ye Qing suddenly chuckled in his heart, sure enough, this kind of talent is too rebellious, it is too rebellious, it has aroused suspicion, I already knew...
"I can't imagine that there is such a talent in the world,"
Before he could finish thinking about it, the old mage immediately changed his words and continued:
"I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true and appear in front of me."
