Chapter 42: Dreams
The next day, Sean began to take Luer Elixir, using the potion to enhance his ability to feel energy particles and accumulate as much mana as possible in his body.
He spent almost all of his time meditating, and when his mental power was exhausted, he practiced the nameless method, then fell asleep, woke up and took another Luer potion, and then continued to meditate.
The effect of the Ruhr potion was indeed extraordinary, and each meditation would attract a large number of energy particles into his mental space, greatly speeding up the speed of mana accumulation.
Each time you take the Ruhr potion, the effect can last for four spells, while other wizard apprentices can only meditate on two spells a day, and any more will hurt the mental power.
Sean didn't have this concern, he now meditated twice a day, and each meditation time required at least four spell hours.
In order to accumulate mana to the standard of promotion as soon as possible, Sean also fought hard.
In less than two months, his mana had accumulated to 6, not only meeting the criteria for promotion, but also being promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice in one go.
Although he was successful, Sean was not complacent, because his wizarding path had just begun.
You can't spend a huge amount of magic crystals to buy Luer potions every time you advance, if you calculate it like that, it must be an astronomical amount, where to find so many magic crystals.
Therefore, it is better to become a pharmacist as soon as possible, not only to earn a large number of magic crystals for yourself, but also to refine Luer potions for your own consumption, so that the cost will also be reduced.
For the next few days, Sean soaked in the alchemy room almost every day.
But pharmacists are not so easy to be a pharmacist, until nearly half of the hundreds of sets of potion materials have been consumed, Sean has not succeeded even once.
The refining process of wizard potions is very complicated, and the steps are extremely cumbersome, especially the heat.
Moreover, the control of spiritual power is very demanding, and the entire refining process, even if there is the slightest mistake, will be wasted.
There is no way, Sean has no teacher to teach, although the refining methods of various low-level potions are introduced in detail in "Elementary Potions", but the processing of many details still depends on Sean himself to slowly explore.
The process of groping is desperate, and every bit of experience requires repeated experimentation and the cost of wasting several sets of potion materials.
In fact, Sean also understands that this is a stage that pharmacists must go through in the early days.
This is still the foundation of his mortal apothecary, at least the most difficult entry stage is omitted.
To become a pharmacist, you usually have to work as an apprentice with a pharmacist for at least a few years before you can be taught.
I've never heard of anyone who became a pharmacist by their own groping.
"Bang".
The potions in the beaker didn't fuse perfectly, resulting in a deflagration, and Sean failed again.
He rubbed his temples and felt a splitting headache.
When Sean stayed in the alchemy room for a few spells, his mental power was already in a state of extreme overdraft.
He poured out the residue from the beaker, left the alchemy room, returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced the nameless method a few times, and then fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Sean woke up.
He felt something was wrong, his surroundings were very unfamiliar, and he was standing in a dimly lit hallway.
The hallway was long, and there were several oil lamps hanging on the walls on either side, giving off a dim glow.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and Sean subconsciously hid in the shadows.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a black-robed man walked over from the other side of the hallway, he was wearing a huge hood, and the hallway was very dark, and Sean didn't see the other party's face.
The black-robed man walked to the door of a room, pushed the door in, and the door was not closed.
Sean, who was hiding in the shadows, quietly followed, looking carefully into the room.
The black-robed man released a light spell, and the dim room suddenly lit up, allowing Sean to see the scene in the room.
There were rows of medicine cabinets in the room, as well as bookshelves and desks, and in the middle of the room was a workbench, which turned out to be also a medicine refining room.
The black-robed man took out a few wooden boxes from the medicine cabinet and began to refine the potion, the other party happened to stand sideways, and Sean could clearly see his every movement.
Sean was interested, his repeated attempts in the past few days have ended in failure, and he is still quite excited to see others refining medicine at this time, and wants to see how the other party refines potions.
As soon as he looked at it for a while, Sean found that what the other party was refining was the "Brute Bull Elixir" that he had failed to try again.
The black-robed man is very skillful, like a peer.
The more Sean looked at it, the more frightened he became, could it be that this black-robed man was a pharmacist.
He suddenly became excited, staring at each step of the other party without blinking, for fear of missing a single detail.
Finally, the black-robed man successfully refined a "Brute Bull Elixir", took it in his hand and looked at it, and then put it in the leather bag around his waist.
Sean looked at the black-robed man dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that the other party was really a pharmacist.
At this time, the black-robed man began to refine another potion, and his movements were also very skillful, which was pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Sean had forgotten where he was, and all he could think about was the details of each step of the other party.
The black-robed man refined several different wizard potions one after another, and none of them failed, which made Sean excited.
He had seen with his own eyes the correct refining method of these potions, and he had memorized the details of each step of the other party, as if it was deeply engraved in his mind.
Suddenly, Sean realized something, because the few potions that this black-robed man had just refined were the ones that Sean had tried repeatedly these days.
Thinking of this, Sean felt that his scalp was numb, how could it be so coincidental, and before he had time to think about it, the black-robed man had already turned his head and looked at Sean who was hiding at the door.
Sean glanced at the face in the hood, and suddenly his hair was cold, and goosebumps all over his body.
The hood was empty, and there was nothing at all......
"Ah......h
Sean sat up from the bed violently, covered in cold sweat.
It turned out to be a dream, this dream, it's too scary......
By this time it was already dawn outside.
Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking about it day and dreaming at night.
Maybe I have been failing to refine the medicine myself in the past few days, because of too much pressure, which is why I have such a nightmare.
After eating breakfast and assigning homework for Mia, Sean came to the alchemy room again.
Although his path as a pharmacist made Sean feel lost, he had already made a decision that no matter how difficult this road was, he would continue to walk.
He came to the workbench, took a deep breath, picked up the potion materials, and wanted to continue refining the potion.
Suddenly, Sean felt as if something was wrong.
Because the scene from last night's dream came to his mind, the whole process of the gray-robed man's refining of potions seemed to be vivid, even if he remembered the details of each step clearly.
Sean's scalp was numb, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It took a while for Sean to come to his senses, but his throat and eyes were dry, as if he were on fire.
He turned and walked out of the house, found a large bowl of water, drank it, and sat in the yard panting.
This is too evil......
