The essence ingredients extracted from each material were added one after another, and with steady and continuous agitation, the color of the liquid medicine in the crucible gradually turned from the gray and black mixed at the beginning to a wisp of blue like a starry sky.

"The main function of this step is to promote the fusion of the medicinal properties of various materials...... No wonder the potion is called 'blending'. ”

Cheng Shen thought about it.

The concoction of potions is still very different from the description of the sigils, mainly the medicinal properties, which are not ingredients that can be distinguished by energy changes alone.

The medicinal properties of each herb are different.

Even.

An herb can have multiple medicinal properties at the same time.

And it is not easy to combine the medicinal properties of the two herbs.

Different dosage ratios, different temperature changes, different degrees of refining.

It will affect the properties of the final blend.

Even if two herbs with a single medicinal property are blended in the simplest way, when it comes to many of the above situations, it will produce a fusion result that is far greater than 1.

Therefore.

The recipe of the drug has become a very important information.

Every successful potion recipe is the result of countless experiments and countless types of herbs.

For novice alchemy apprentices who are new to pharmacy.

Pharmaceutics.

It is more of a discipline that relies on rote memorization, familiarity with formulas and medicinal properties, and the accumulation of countless blends.

There are no shortcuts.

This is related to Cheng Shen's mastery of rune carving and formation carving.

Completely different.

"Stir at a constant speed for 30 seconds, see the color of the liquid medicine change, and then speed up the stirring for 5 seconds, if the liquid medicine turns blue, it will be considered a success......"

Cheng Shen recalled.

As the liquid medicine in the crucible turned up a blue color, he reluctantly sped up the stirring. The stirring rod with a soft glow drove the viscous liquid medicine, bringing up patches of residual light inside the silver-gray crucible.

Peng!

Suddenly.

Without warning, a puff of black smoke rose from the cauldron.

Cheng Shen reacted very quickly and dodged back, the explosion force was not very strong, but the smell of a scorched lake quickly spread in the air.

"Failed ......"

Cheng Shen frowned and thought about removing the black residue in the crucible.

He immediately recalled the description in the recipe.

Pyrocidant carbon, a fire-related material, will have an overreaction when it is fused with an aqueous solution of another material used in the formula, so in the blending process, other materials should be added to change the medicinal properties of the pyroctopic carbon.

Otherwise.

will explode.

Of the five refining failures recorded in the recipe, there is only one reason why an explosion will occur. That is, when he finally added the aqueous solution, the ignorant carbon was not fully mixed with the liquid of other materials.

"But how do you observe how well the liquid is mixed to the right level?"

Cheng Shen frowned.

This is undoubtedly a standard of accuracy that he can grasp after many attempts.

A single defeat did not discourage him.

After all.

He's getting in touch with a completely different new field of study.

Cheng Shen soon experimented again.

Compared to most alchemy apprentices who are new to pharmacy, Cheng Shen still has an incomparable advantage, he has an amazing memory that he will never forget, and it is difficult to make mistakes after mastering the precise extraction process for the first time.

This time, he reduced the time to refine the five materials to two minutes.

Then it is time for the final blending step.

Cheng Shen suddenly thought.

The drug conflict is an accumulation of knowledge that he cannot fully grasp at the moment.

But just look at the recipe of this potion potion.

There will be an intensifying reaction between the ignorant carbon and the aqueous solution, which is entirely due to the energy attributes!

Is it possible for him to intervene in this process of energy intensification through his abilities?

Do what you think.

Cheng Shen immediately turned on the energy control talent, and the silver-gray crucible filled with medicinal liquid in front of him was suddenly filled with a cloud of colorful light.

"Sure enough......"

His mood fluctuated slightly.

"If you don't take into account the medicinal ingredients, every herb is really just a magical material...... And the fusion of medicinal properties can also be reflected through the degree of integration at the energy level in a sense......"

Cheng Shen's thoughts suddenly became active.

In contrast, it is necessary to keep in mind the different medicinal properties of hundreds of thousands of herbs, as well as the fusion of medicinal properties that are more complex.

If he translates the problem into the realm of elemental variables that he is familiar with.

Undoubtedly.

It will be of great help to him to master this subject!

Cheng Shen immediately tested it, he still maintained the agitation of the harmony rod in his hand, but his attention was no longer on this at all, but by releasing his spiritual power, he directly controlled the energy in the crucible to fuse.

It's a no-brainer for him.

Of course.

In practice, it will be different.

In the past, when Cheng Shen fused two different or even mutually restrained elemental energies, he used functional runes to mobilize them in the center, but in the process of refining potions, he couldn't depict runes, so it was still a little difficult.

However, the problem is still not too big.

Because.

The herbs offered in this potion recipe already have the potential to fuse.

Cheng Shen just needs to be reconciled in the order of proportion.

The theory remains the same.

But in practice, it is countless times easier than relying on manual blending.

Manual work also requires consideration of muscle control and the accumulation of experience in tuning.

But entering the realm of mind control, Cheng Shen is like a precision machine that will never make a mistake, every slight change can be controlled by him to the extreme, and the probability of making a mistake is infinitely close to 1 in 10,000!

Soon.

With the last cloud of blue energy matter perfectly integrated into the crucible by Cheng Shen.

The energy mass that filled the entire crucible suddenly underwent a wonderful change.

The colorful energy began to transform into a unified and magical blue, but at the moment when it completely turned blue, the brilliant multicolored light poured out in the liquid medicine, making a colorful rise in the crucible!

[Refining successful!] 】

[Hint: Potion Blending Mastery +5!] 】

[You have understood—Potion Harmony!] 】

……

A small blue vial logo appears on his profile.

Meantime.

A special wave of knowledge poured into Cheng Shen's mind.

This knowledge was nothing else, it was the specific medicinal properties of the five materials used to refine the formula of the ordinary potential potion, and the moment he mixed the potion, these five materials were also integrated into a part of his memory.

Cheng Shen then took out a thumb-length medicine bottle and poured out the five-color solution in the crucible.

Suddenly.

A system prompt will follow.

[Hint: You have successfully refined a potion of excellent quality (with a medicinal property fusion rate of more than 95%), and you have obtained the right to authorship!] Successfully refining an excellent quality flask more than five times will unlock the Apothecary's Mark! 】

……

【Potent Elixir】

【Items】

[Level: Normal]

[Description: After taking it, it can increase the potential awakening by 25%, which can only be used by ordinary units, and can be used up to three times, and the effect will continue to decrease each time it is used]

【Refining: Orange】

……

"Authorship? Pharmacist's imprint? ”

Cheng Shen is unknown.

Fortunately, the system has thoughtfully explained these two concepts.

The right of authorship is only a symbolic meaning and has little effect, but only in the same level, the best quality medicine can appear to be signed, so it can also be regarded as a quality certification, which is conducive to promoting one's own reputation.

The Pharmacist's Mark is a certification badge that belongs exclusively to every pharmacist.

This imprint has a special effect:

Prevents others from cracking potions.

A knowledgeable pharmacist can reverse the ratio of a potion through the ingredients of a liquid and thus reproduce it, but this kind of patent stealing was hated by all orthodox pharmacists in the old days.

As a result, under the consciousness of many pharmacists, the system gave birth to such a special rule, all potions engraved with exclusive marks, others can not parse the ingredients through any means.

Of course.

This protection is mainly aimed at the originators of a new type of drug.

Or a pharmacist who makes a brilliant modification of an old recipe can help.

For example, some rotten potion recipes such as life potions and magic potions.

There is no need for this patent protection.

But I have to say that this function is extremely useful to Cheng Shen, although the potential potion is not his originality, but the value of this formula is quite precious, Cheng Shen doesn't want to be copied casually!

"Isn't it just refining a potion of excellent quality five times......"

Cheng Shen disagreed.

The quality of the finished product of the pharmaceutical is divided into four categories: lower grade, medium grade, upper grade and excellent grade.

It is differentiated by the fusion rate of medicinal properties.

The fusion rate of medicinal properties should be taken into account at every step from the refining of the material.

It is quite difficult to achieve a very good quality potion.

Normally, if the blending is successful and the fusion rate of medicinal properties can reach more than 30%, it is already a finished drug.

Be the best.

It's something that many seasoned pharmacists can't do.

And in order to achieve this achievement, you must also refine the potion at the stage corresponding to your skill level.

Other words.

A high-level pharmacist who wants to go back and refine a low-level potion to unlock this achievement will not be recognized by the system.

The more advanced it is, the more complex the ingredients of the drug are facing.

The harder it is to meet the requirements.

For the vast majority of pharmacists, if they can't get the mark in the early stages, then there is a high probability.

It's just that you can't unlock your own exclusive Apothecary Mark for the rest of your life......

But this situation has nothing to do with Cheng Shen.

Precise control of energy allows him to grasp and fuse each medicinal property.

And.

The most critical thing is.

Ordinary pharmacists can no longer interfere with the state of the material after the blending step has been carried out.

Therefore.

This requires a high degree of precision when refining the material.

Any kind of problems caused by improper purification, and a trace of impurities mixed in, will greatly affect the final drug fusion rate.

The depth of the range is different.

He can still screen and remove impurities in the liquid medicine when blending the medicine!

For him.

As long as the medicinal properties of the materials provided by the formula are accurate, there is the possibility of becoming a drug.

Then the details of everything in the process are no longer a problem...

As if to test his ideas.

Soon.

A second potion of finished potency reappeared in the cauldron.

Still excellent quality!

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
