Chapter 54: Potions Lessons
At night, in the Mystic Retreat.
Simon had been lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his hands crossed on his abdomen, and had been in this position for a long time.
It has been about eight days since he came to the Esoteric Retreat, and for these eight days he has been soaking in the library, shuttling among the books every day, constantly absorbing the knowledge in the books.
A great deal of knowledge is constantly absorbed by him and the Mirror of Eternity, and new ideas are born in his mind every moment. Many unknown secrets have been presented in front of his eyes, and he has a vague understanding of the planet under his feet.
Suddenly, Simon opened his eyes, his glass-like eyes sparkling, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he were a god on a throne, full of endless majesty and sacredness, making people dare not look directly.
The Mirror of Eternity floated in front of him, and the Ouroboros wrapped in the mirror kept turning, eternally chasing its tail.
A faint mirror light fell from the mirror, reflecting Simon's entire figure on it, and as a ripple like water waves spread out on the mirror, a consciousness crossed the distance of space and descended on the natives near the Great Rift Valley.
The whole process was silent, and it didn't attract anyone's attention, not even the tower spirit who had been scanning and monitoring the entire half-dimensional space, but he didn't find the slightest thing.
In the native tribe, many black-brown skinned natives are surrounding the campfire, listening to a slender white old man tell a story.
He had white hair, a wrinkled forehead, loose skin, and a somewhat slurred speech, but his eyes were very bright, without the cloudiness of an ordinary old man.
It may be that the stories he tells are particularly beautiful, and many natives are attentively listening to the strange stories told by the old man.
The battle between the Thunder Giant and the giant serpent the size of a mountain, the conflict between werewolves and humans, the evil monsters in the eerie castle.
The campfire crackled constantly, and the old man's voice grew deeper and deeper into his story.
Slowly, his breath became weaker and weaker, and his mouth gradually lost his breath. But he still held the broken mirror in his hand tightly, and there was no intention of letting go.
Laugh at!!!!
Suddenly, the mirror in his palm shone brightly, and the broken crack suddenly healed, as if none of the previous cracks had ever existed.
The mirror light directly enveloped his whole body, and a little unspeakable light fell into his eyebrows, and after a while, the mirror light disappeared abruptly, and the old man collapsed directly to the ground.
After a long time, the natives who were frightened by the mirror light and scattered and avoided slowly surrounded them, and a few of them came up boldly and cautiously to see what was going on.
Upa picked up a branch and gently poked the old man's body. The old man didn't react, and when he saw this, he poked again, but he still didn't respond.
Upa grew bold, and he slowly put his fingers under the old man's nose to see if he was still breathing.
Syllable!!!
As soon as his finger reached over, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and he grabbed Upa's finger and threw it over.
"Wow!!" Upa screamed in fright, sat down on the ground, and quickly crawled backwards, "Hell, !!"
I saw that the old man stood up suddenly, and his snow-white hair began to transform from the roots of his hair, and returned to his original color, and the loose and wrinkled skin on his face once again glowed with vitality.
Angus held the mirror in his hand tightly, and tears couldn't stop sliding out, he
He fell to his knees and shouted excitedly to the mirror in his hand, "Praise my lord, praise the great mirror of eternity." ”
However, Simon didn't see all this, he just came over and taught Angus the meditation methods he had sorted out in the past few days and left.
With the help of several basic meditation books in the library of the Mystic Hermitage, Simon incorporated the "White Bone Pure World View" recorded in the Mirror of Eternity, the "Diagram of the True Monarch of Taishang Morality" and other contemplative ideas into it, and constructed this set of Eternal Mirror meditation methods.
This meditation method is based on the Mirror of Eternity, visualizing and meditating on its existence, inducing each other with it, condensing the seed that belongs to the Mirror of Eternity with the help of its power, and then meditating continuously to slowly grow this seed, so that when casting the spell he gave it, it will no longer consume life force.
The Mirror of Eternity will unconsciously have one more person to sacrifice, and there will be a new source of power, although this power is very small, but it is always good to add up to a lot.
I have to say that Angus is really very lucky, although he is not as lucky as the real Chosen One, but compared to the non-chieftains, it is also amazingly lucky.
After Simon left Shadowfang Castle that day, he was actually rescued by the local natives, although his vitality was little, but it was supported until Simon remembered him again as a guinea pig, and I have to say that luck was really good.
Simon not only passed down this meditation method at this moment, but even gave him the strong talent that he had deprived himself of the ghoul lord, after all, a psychic believer was still quite useful.
After all, now that there is a cultivation method, cultivating them is no longer a one-shot deal like before, and it is necessary to carry out sustainable development in a long way.
Early the next morning.
Simon got up early in the morning, and by the way, he packed himself up and prepared to sit in on the class, which was already shown that there would be a tutor to teach the Potions class today.
He felt that he needed to go and study, after all, he was still a potions master, and it was a little unreasonable to soak in the library every day.
On the way to the classroom, many apprentices who recognized Simon looked at him in surprise, was this person willing to leave the library, and it was really strange to look at the direction of the teaching building!
Many idle mage apprentices also slowly followed to the potions room with curiosity, ready to see the demeanor of this legendary school master.
The potions room is in a remote basement, and Simon wouldn't have been able to find it if it weren't for the guidance of the floating saucer.
The basement was much colder than above, and along the walls were glass jars soaked with the corpses of all sorts of strange creatures, and strange plants that were firmly bound in flower pots and unfurled from time to time full of fangs and thorns.
All in all, this potions room looks very eerie.
Around nine o'clock, Mokanas appeared in the potions room punctually.
He looked at the sudden addition of many apprentices today, and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, cleared his throat and started today's lesson directly.
His voice was slightly muffled, but it was audible to every apprentice in the classroom.
"What we're learning about today is an enhancer, a potion that has the effect of enhancing other potions, and although it's not a very advanced potion, it's one of the potions that a potions master must be able to make because of its widespread use. ”
Mokanas beckoned to the corner, and a test bench full of various instruments and materials ran over with stone table legs, and stopped steadily in front of him.
He took a vial of white powder from the test bench in front of him, held it up, and explained, "Enhancers can enhance the effects of most potions, so they don't have many properties, so we chose Aijia powder and talcum powder as the base to make sure it doesn't react badly with most potions." ”
Mokanas kept taking out the same raw materials, explaining its function and precautions to the apprentices in front of him without emotion, and then quickly added it to the crucible in front of him, and the glass rod in his hand kept stirring in the bubbling crucible.
"Remember, the magic should be slowly integrated into the potion to ensure that the properties of each part of the potion are sufficiently volatilized, otherwise if one place goes wrong, the enhancer will be ineffective. ”
The apprentices underground, taking notes quickly, except for the flat and deep voice of Mokanas in the potions room, only the sound of brushing and writing remained.
Dozens of apprentices who came over to see Simon's performance found that he didn't take any notes, but would lower his hair from time to time and stay stunned, which disappointed many apprentices who heard the rumors, this guy's performance didn't look like a top student.
After more than two hours, Mokanas poured the clear clear liquid from the crucible into the bottle, and then shook it to make sure that there was no impurity in the bottle before he said, "Okay, this is how to make the enhancer, you can try to make it yourself, you can ask me three times during the period, and if you don't want to make it, you can leave it." ”
As soon as Mokanas finished speaking, many of the apprentices got up and prepared to leave, and there were only three or four apprentices who were ready to experiment, and there were two of them who worked in groups.
Simon walked over to the place where the raw materials were stored, and according to what Mokanas had just explained, he directly took out the raw materials that had just been made, and then returned to his seat just now, ready to test it.
Many apprentices who were about to leave looked at his actions and shook their heads one after another, this guy is too confident. He only took one potion material, did he think he could succeed at once?
You must know that making potions is no better than others, because of the additives poured one second earlier, or the properties of the raw materials to stimulate the magic power are not complete, and the effect of the medicine will change if there is a slight difference in each step, and eventually the production will fail.
He only watched the production process of Master Mokanas once, and he wanted to succeed once, it was ridiculous!
You must know that the potion destroys three generations, and the alchemy is poor for a lifetime. Every Potions Master has grown up through repeated failures, and of course many more have completely bankrupted in failure and given up on this idea.
This profession is not something that can be played by talent, but more of a lot of experience accumulation.
Many people stopped here, ready to see if he would fail and whether it would be such an indifferent face.
Simon paid no attention to the stares that came to him, and as he took out the wormwood powder and talcum powder, he was about to start work, when the floater suddenly flew over and stopped in front of him.
The projection above shows that the cost of raw materials consumed by you this time is 40,204 yuan, the cost of loss of experimental equipment is 4,796 yuan, and your remaining amount is 255,000 yuan.
Simon looked at the floater and the corners of his eyes twitched a little, remembering the handwriting left on the basic potions book on the second floor, and suddenly understood a little.
"If you have the money, buy some spell scrolls, don't come to learn potions, this broken profession will be finished sooner or later. ”
