Chapter 8: The Making of the Elixir of Awakening
"I need a silverweed, two skunk fruits, and a money beetle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mel said what he needed.
"I've got a copy of silver thread here. The fox walked up to Mair and said, "But I need a horsetail or two awakening potions in exchange, do you have a bat?"
Mel shook his head and said, "I don't have a horsetail fruit, and I can't take out the Awakening Elixir, but I can get ten more gold coins." ”
The fox hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, the purchasing power of gold coins in the principality is very strong, and the expenses of ordinary civilian families are only tens of gold coins a year.
With an extra ten gold coins, you can buy sargases more easily in other people's hands.
With only seven people, the exchange of goods proceeded quickly.
Of course, even if there are more people, the exchange will not take too long, because the longer the time, the greater the risk, and the temple priests and night watchmen in the small town of Xilin are very competent.
......
......
Mel has recently reached the bottleneck of an intermediate magician apprentice, and is only one step away from becoming a high-level magician apprentice, both in terms of mana capacity and spell casting speed.
And you can also learn new spells, even more powerful spells.
However, this bottleneck cannot be broken through by time, and mid-level mage apprentices need to use at least one twilight potion when promoting to a high-level mage apprentice, otherwise, the success rate is zero.
There are many materials needed to make Twilight Elixir, among which Silverweed, Qiu Yuguo, and Money Beetle are the three most important and the most difficult to obtain.
To be honest, Maier was a little disappointed with the meeting, he had expected to get at least two of them, and then the other by other means.
But in fact, this time Maier only got one piece of silver thread, or at the cost of ten more gold coins, Skunk Fruit only got one piece of information, and the money beetle didn't even get any information at all.
There is still too much to make the Twilight Elixir.
Maier sighed, the witch's sacrifice still had a huge impact on the magicians near the town of Xilin, and a full-fledged mage could easily take out a twilight potion.
Shaking his head, Mel made his way to the basement.
As a magician, you will have your own laboratory, where you can prepare potions, alchemy experiments, and some magic tests, and the laboratory is indispensable for magicians.
But at the same time, it is easy to reveal the identity of the laboratory, because no other profession will build a similar laboratory except the magician, not even the doctor.
What's more, the doctors of this world are extremely unvalued, and they have always relied on magicians to cure diseases, and there are even many doctors who are directly recognized as heretics and then executed.
Because many physicians are suspicious of what the temple preaches when they pursue the essence of the human body, they embark on a path closer to the magician.
This is not allowed in the temple.
Therefore, how to build a hidden laboratory is a compulsory course for every magician.
Mel walked to the corner of the basement and removed one of the stone slabs, a mixture of dirt and sand underneath, and Mel began to chant a spell, and the dirt began to wriggle.
Immediately after, an entrance appeared.
Mel jumped, then moved the slab over again, using magic to restore the dirt to its original shape, the slab and dirt were nearly a meter high, and it was difficult to find an entrance underneath with normal inspection.
Underneath the entrance, there is a narrow passage.
Mel walked along the passageway, and after about a moment stopped, a stone stood in front of him, and Mel chanted a spell, and the ground beneath the stone softened, and the stone sank slightly.
Mel slipped through the gap.
A small room appeared in front of Myer's eyes, a longboard table full of bottles and jars, and on the other side were many bamboo baskets, which were full of materials.
Maier took out two huge plants that resembled green onion seedlings from the bamboo basket, called Awakening Grass, which was the main ingredient for making Awakening Elixir.
Then Maier took out a green potted plant and plucked two leaves from it.
The plant inside the green pot is called the Tree of Radiance, a material that can increase the power of potions, which Maier accidentally obtained, and is currently the most valuable item on Maier's possession.
The sagebrush is chopped, ground, and watered to mix, mixed into a green juice, and filtered with gauze to obtain the sap with very little impurities.
This process is repeated many times, because the lower the amount of impurities, the higher the success rate of formulation.
Mel started a fire, a glass beaker on it, into which he poured the juice of the Awakening Herb into the beaker, and then poured in some white particles.
These white particles are the abrasives obtained from the dried fruits of autumn and winter, and they are also one of the formulas of the awakening elixir.
It wasn't until the liquid in the beaker boiled that Maier began grinding the leaves of the Tree of Radiance, getting two drops of green liquid, extinguishing the fire and dripping the green liquid into the beaker.
The two liquids began to mix, and a golden light fluttered through the beaker.
A smile appeared on Mel's face.
Because this golden light means that the potion has been successfully made.
Take out the six test tubes, pour the solution from the beaker into the test tube, then plug it with a stopper, seal it, and Mel takes out the sixth test tube and puts it in the wooden barrel next to it.
The hot test tube wall collided with the cold water, and with a hiss, a burst of water mist evaporated.
When the temperature of the potion dropped to normal temperature, Maier opened the test tube and poured it into his mouth, and then a pungent sensation rolled in his stomach.
Maier immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate on the meditation method, entering a meditative state.
......
......
After three days of ordinary junior editing life, Maier once again handed in a manuscript for Master Loren to review, this time the brave little tailor, and one of the more famous stories in Grimm's fairy tales, and completely different from Snow White's style.
It's a story of adventure and good luck.
It has to be said that compared with traditional chivalric novels, this story is more vivid and spiritual, although it may not be so rigorous in terms of logic, but this cannot hide the brilliance of this story.
Master Loren was so satisfied and relieved that he felt that his teachings had been effective for Mehr, so much so that he agreed to Mel's leave of absence for two days without even asking why.
Wren and Elle first picked up the story from Mel, and both were curious about the whimsy in the story, as well as an unprecedented interest in the forest outside the town.
"I decided that when I became an adult, I would definitely go on an adventure in the forest. Wren patted his chest.
Mel shook his head, not taking Wren's words to heart, the real-world forest and the forest in the story are completely two different things, where can it be so interesting.
By the way, I have to go back early today, and I have to go far tomorrow.
