Early in the morning, Ian and Harris arrive at the market together. After agreeing to www.biquge.info deal with Olivia, he didn't rush to ask for advice on power. Regardless, most of his powers could only be used at night, and during the day they had to run for money on the road.

Harris decided to use the silver coins he had to buy some potion refining utensils and some relatively common herbs first, so that he could instruct Ian on medicine and sell the potions in exchange for the necessary expenses for the journey. After all, they no longer looked down on the other small tasks on the street billboard, and wanted to continue to "enjoy" the fun of the journey, and the grandmaster who had not done it for a long time finally had to pick up his duties again.

Of course, this gentleman has not forgotten his original intention. It was still far from the city of the Holy White, and it seemed to him that it would be a great sin to let the two ladies walk all the way, so the purpose of his trip was to buy a carriage for transportation.

Fortunately, the town of Vík is small in size, but most of the things are fairly complete. When the two hundred or so Emperor's heads in their pockets had shrunk to only about thirty, they had finally purchased all the necessary things by noon and returned to the inn where they had stayed.

Becoming a qualified pharmacist has always started by burning money. Pharmaceutical tables, measuring tubes, medicine tanks, balance scales, funnels, infusion tubes, crucibles, glass bottles...... In this world, these products that require precise scales are not cheap at all, and even the lowest grade products cost them nearly twice as much as a horse-drawn carriage. If it weren't for the fact that they had made a transfer before, and the price of ordinary medicinal materials was relatively low, then they probably wouldn't even be able to afford the lowest-grade defective products......

"It seems that so-so can only be like this. ”

In the hotel room, Harris pouted in disgust as he looked at the assembled pharmaceutical table in front of him. They had been carrying the best utensils, but unfortunately they had long since been reduced to ashes in the crimson eyes. The rough apparatus in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt uncomfortable.

"At times like these, there's nothing to complain about. Ian shrugged his shoulders and picked up the utensils and began to calibrate the scales. Accurate scaling is an extremely important thing in pharmaceuticals, and many difficult drugs can often cause serious consequences if the material ratio is not properly blended. Appliances with standard equipment must be inspected before use, not to mention the pile of defective products in front of you.

"It's just a matter of hemostatic ointment and antipyretics......" He carefully carved a shallow mark on the measuring tube with his fingernails, and after proofreading it with a few other finished products, he nodded: "This should be about the same." ”

The configuration requirements for hemostatic powder and antipyretic medicine are not too high, after all, Ian has been working for Yelena all year round, as long as he marks some important scales, he can judge the appropriate measurement by feeling.

It is worth mentioning here that many people think that the pharmacy of the Atlas is basically for combat, but the reality is that the potions dedicated to combat, such as stamina potions, berserk potions, etc., actually only occupy a very small part of pharmacy.

In this world, the status of a pharmacist is closer to that of a physician, and most of the potions are actually used to detoxify and treat diseases. Just as different symptoms require different medicines in previous lives, pharmacists also have to develop different drugs to deal with the ever-increasing number of poisons and diseases.

The absurdity of using a bottle of so-called "anti-disease potion" to cure all diseases is only possible in games.

Of course, the main reason why Ian chose to prepare the basic potion was that this type of potion has a wide range of applications and is easy to test the color. Otherwise, if they rashly make some high-grade potions, the pharmacists in such rural areas may not be able to recognize them, and out of consideration for the reputation of their own stores, I am afraid that they will not dare to accept the "unknown potions" concocted by these two "apprentices" at all.

"Yes. Harris picked up a measuring tube and looked at it a few times, then sighed helplessly, "Before you go to the pharmacy conference, using these things to make medicine is also a kind of exercise." ”

"Huh?" Ian frowned, it wasn't the same as they had said before.

"Isn't that the excuse you used to fool people?" he looked up in surprise and asked inexplicably, "When is it going to be that I am going to the academic exchange?"

"It's not an excuse, the two of us are really going to this meeting. Harris couldn't help but smile mysteriously, and then slapped Ian on the shoulder.

"Listen, boy, there are often competitions for apprentices, and Pharmacy is no exception. Without waiting for Ian to speak, he then explained: "You also know that sinners are not allowed to participate in the pharmacist examination, and without the certificate of the pharmacist, no matter how high your level is, it is impossible to be recognized in the empire, and you will not inherit your mother's apothecary." ”

"But—" He said with a gloating smile and a seductive tone, "as long as you can finish in the top three in this kind of competition, then even if the Pharmacist Society is reluctant, they must issue you an official pharmacist certificate." ”

"Again, think about what a stir a sinner-apothecary would make. He paused, and said meaningfully: "If you want to integrate into the underground kingdom formed by those criminals outside the circle and obtain the information of your little lover, this kind of identity is quite useful, and it can save us a lot of trouble." ”

"But even if you're right, wouldn't the sinners be allowed to attend such an exchange?" Ian exclaimed, not daring to expect anything from it.

"I know the rules of this kind of exchange meeting. They didn't say that criminals were allowed to participate, but—" Harris raised an eyebrow and smiled like a fox, "Again, there is no saying in the ordinance that criminals are not allowed to participate. ”

"You also know that within the Empire, criminals are currently only able to receive the most basic education, and have no access to the academic knowledge of the upper echelons. So when they made the rules, they didn't even think that the criminals might come and participate, and we could just take advantage of this loophole. ”

"I always felt like things weren't going to go as smoothly as you thought. ”

"Don't worry. Harris smiled meaningfully and gloated, "In order to be able to see the faces of those old men, I will help you solve all the obstacles." ”

"As for how to win—" he muttered, looking at the humble medicine table, "I have double insurance here." (To be continued.) )
