Section 313: Potions

In the cognition of the man inherited by Norman, Potions is a mysterious science, vast as the sea, the production of condiments as fine as the exact breathing time and the complex recipe list of each potion can make people's heads bigger, the most difficult thing is that the memory can not be made a little mistake, the formula, materials, refining methods, etc. cannot be wrong, otherwise, the nature of the whole potion will be completely different.

The requirements for brain power are so high, and only those mages with strong mental power can be competent, plus Potions also needs to use magic power, which is even more impossible for non-teachers to do, so it's no wonder that if you want to become a potions master, you have to be a mage first. And with these other needs, it's no wonder that potions masters are even rarer than mages.

Because of the above reasons, coupled with experience, it takes a lot of time to become a potions master who can independently refine potions on his own, and there are many cases where it took more than ten years to become a potions master from an apprentice to a potions master, accounting for the vast majority of potions masters in this world, and those who only take ten or even six or seven years to become a qualified potions master are already called geniuses.

To sum up, if Ji Ruoxi knew something about the profession of potions master, she would never be at ease to let Norman refine the antidote, after all, she had seen with her own eyes that half a year ago, this guy in front of her was still an ordinary person who didn't know anything, but after half a year, how could this person become a qualified potions master? Moreover, it was also the antidote to refining the tears of Cenarius, a magical secret medicine that specializes in restraining dragons!

But the potions master is too unpopular after all, and Ji Ruoxi doesn't know much about this business, so she was run around under Norman's command, and she never doubted whether this guy could really refine the antidote.

It only took less than half a year for this guy to change from an ordinary person who didn't know anything to a super mage who could cast forbidden spells, and he also became a saint of the Father's Religion, the first church of mankind, from a commoner to an object of worship by ten thousand people, which is completely a myth. Such a myth that he can refine potions seems to be a very reasonable thing, right?

This is what Ji Ruoxi really thinks in her heart recently, she really believes that Norman can refine the antidote.

Norman's faith was not as strong as she was.

The knowledge he had inherited had taught him how difficult Potions could be, especially vast, as vast as the sea, and from the perspective of an ordinary mage who had just inherited a lot of Potions knowledge, he could not believe that he could successfully refine a viable potion the first time, especially the antidote to the miraculous potion of Cenarius's tears.

The reason why he dared to refine now was because Chen Qinghe couldn't afford it, and because the Knights Templar gave him confidence.

"Pharmacology, which you can also understand as natural chemistry, is a discipline that studies the composition, properties, structure and changes of substances, and even creates new substances. Potions is very similar to natural chemistry in terms of manifestation, but due to the addition of magic, the experience between the two is not connected, and many of the laws that originally seemed normal to us have undergone changes under the influence of magic......"

This was what Lancelot told Norman after he had shown the Templars a lot of knowledge about potions and some simple practices under their guidance, and it also broke Norman's desire for the Templars to guide them to another path to the cure.

However, the Templars were not helpless against this.

"The old experience doesn't apply anymore, but we can summarize the new rules. ”

"Originally, there was no such thing as 'chemistry' in the earth world, all of which were accumulated bit by bit over thousands of years from scratch, and we can do the same in Potions. ”

Lancelot's voice at that time was not impatient, and he said: "And we still have two powerful weapons now: first, you have a lot of knowledge about potions. The more mature the rule sample, the more likely it is that the intrinsic rule will be summarized and the higher the reliability. Second, we have strong data computing power, which can greatly reduce the time it takes us to summarize the rules......"

Lancelot wasn't talking big about it, and they were quick to show Norman what they had done: they had figured out the possible relationship between some of the materials and the magical powers. It was also because of the Templars' research results that Norman did not really try to refine the antidote until today, when the magic power broke through 48.

As for the other bits and pieces of little rule of experience, that's more, so I won't mention it.

The Knights Templar's research was a secondary addition to the knowledge of Potions, and more importantly, they opened up a completely different path from traditional Potions.

From Norman's knowledge, it can be learned that the Potions knowledge inheritance system on the continent is basically rote memorization, and it is the main job of most Potions masters to memorize all kinds of complex recipes and carry out continuous practice to improve the refining power of potions—which is not easy. This work alone would take a potions master's entire life, and if he had the time to create a new recipe that worked, it would definitely leave a name in the history of potionsmen, who were often supermen with such brilliant brains, and in this way left their names in the history of potionsmen.

But the Knights Templar are different: no matter how complex the recipe is, no matter how detailed the measurements, for them it is just a process of burning data, the total time does not exceed one second, and there is absolutely no mistake;

Therefore, they can only devote all their energy to another aspect, that is, the field they are best at, exploring the inner laws of things.

"Through the analysis of 7 formulas, it can be basically determined that the reaction of Claw Grass under the action of 0.5 square magic power and 0.8 magic power will produce hot toxic substances, and the reliability of the conclusion is 86.1%, the specific magic catalytic amount can be appropriately increased or decreased, and the effective range is plus or minus 0.1 square mana, and the specific results need to be demonstrated through practice......"

"Through the analysis of 12 formulas, the purple-tailed madder can produce the maximum potency under the action of 0.4 square magic power, and the magic range fluctuates greatly, with the effective range reaching plus or minus 0.2 squares, which is greater than the effective range of positive and negative values of the sample, and the data reliability is 76.89%......"

"Through 5 formulas and two experiments, it was inferred that the active ingredient will be lost in the air, and the active ingredient will be completely lost in the interval of 8 to 10 months, and the loss rate during this period is roughly sinusoidal, and the data reliability is 82.9%......"

......

These were all developed by the Knights Templar during this time, and many of the terms such as "intervals" were understood by Norman through his ears, so it was not difficult to understand.

This is also a great source of Norman's confidence: among the knowledge that Norman inherited, this information is a secret that must be passed down from one Potions Master to another! Such information, each of which must be passed down through the ages for a Potions Master, is a great treasure, which will never be revealed to outsiders, and can only be passed on to the most trustworthy students, which will help the students who inherited their school to avoid many detours.

The small number of potions masters also has something to do with this inheritance ethos.

But these things, which were treasured by every potions master, were now being continuously researched by the Templars, throwing them at Norman like cabbage without money, and new discoveries were made every day.

If you were a different orthodox potions master, I am afraid that you would have fainted happily.

And that's not all, in Lancelot's words, "there is too little data, too little practice, too little time, and only some superficial things can be introduced first, and the real and effective results of the essence need to be studied slowly"......

With such a team as the backing, can Norman not have confidence?

Practice is not enough, theory is enough!

It was also based on the Templars' short-lived, dense theories of terror that Norman was finally about to begin his first antidote refinement.
