Philosopher's stone?

Martin was a little confused.

Is it the kind that can turn stones into gold?

"Cook tasted its name, but Cook didn't know what its recipe was... Cook didn't taste the salt......"

After revealing the name of the potion, Whiteface Cook received no more useful information.

"There is no smell of salt..."

Martin pondered Cook's words, does this mean that the Philosopher's Stone is not a potion based on the Salt of Life?

In his previous exploration of recipes, Martin had discovered that there were three types of potion bases: [Salt of Life], [Oil of Nothingness], and [Peacock's Tail], each of which had its own corresponding potion map.

The recipe that Whiteface Cook is in after activation has the map of [Salt of Life], and the remaining two maps are in Blackface's recipe.

Cook said that the Philosopher's Stone does not have the breath of "salt", could it be because its base is not the [Salt of Life], but the [Oil of Nothingness], or the [Peacock's Tail] that Martin has not seen so far?

Thinking of this, Martin dug up some more remnants of the collapse and handed them to Blackface's eyes.

"It's your share."

Martin said to Blackface that he hoped Blackface would be able to taste the specific information of the Philosopher's Stone, but he understood that the probability of such a situation was very low.

After all, as Blackface said before, changing a "meat" is a new taste, which means a new potion recipe, and the possibility of encountering the same potion is very small.

Although Cook just experienced it.

It fell asleep after tasting the ancient taste of "gold" last time, but the first "meat" it tasted after waking up came to this familiar taste again, and further tasted its name.

Martin couldn't help but lament that this was too much of a coincidence.

Blackface unceremoniously ate the "meat" and chewed it heavily.

"Hmm... Something familiar..."

"This feeling... It's not as delicate as ghost oil, nor does it have the rough graininess of ogre oil..."

"Bland... It's too bland... I even smelled a faint stench......"

Blackface went from savoring it to chewing it heavily, and instead of even swallowing the "meat" into his body, he spit it out after chewing for a while.

It was a puddle of foul-smelling gelatin, not at all like what it was before the black face swallowed it, and the moisture in it had been almost absorbed.

Martin went from anticipation to doubt, and finally to some surprise.

Could it be that these remnants of collapse are no longer attractive to it?

No, it was obviously very interested in this "meat" before tasting it, and that expression couldn't be faked.

What went wrong with that?

Martin looked at the disgusting puddle of filth and frowned.

"I got it, a new recipe for a dark potion."

Blackface said calmly.

Martin's mood changed again, and the thrill of opening a blind box lingered in his heart.

"What's the recipe?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"See for yourself."

Blackface motioned for him to open the recipe, as if it had no interest in it.

Martin felt Blackface's reaction a little strange, but he didn't say anything, instead opening the recipe and flipping it to the page where the [Oil of Nothingness] map was recorded.

There is an extra path on it.

"Sure enough, the blackface recipe can taste the recipe for the oil, but I don't know what the effect of the potion made of the mysterious [Peacock's Tail] will be..."

He thought as he surveyed the path.

The path points to the water droplet on the right, but compared to the previous potion recipes such as the [Virgin Body], the new line seems very short, and it is still some distance from the water drop symbol on the far right.

At the end of the path, there are several weed-like plants, which seem a little monotonous.

"What is this..."

The previous [Virgin Body] corresponds to a black feather, [Morning Dew of the Sea] corresponds to a white heart, and [Lava Kiss] is a black rock, so what do these "weeds" represent?

Martin flipped back with confusion and found the new recipe:

“

50 ml of [Nightingale] spirit

+3 grams of rat tails

+ 10 g of purple ginger powder

+20 g of viscous cape slime

+1 drop of Oil of Nothingness. ”

This recipe is somewhat similar to the recipe of [Lava Kiss], except that the dosage is much less.

As for the purple ginger powder and the sticky cape, Martin felt that he had seen it in the medicine cabinet in the front hall, and it didn't seem to be some of the herbs that were difficult to obtain.

The name of the potion is "Craty's Garland".

Below the recipe is written the potion description:

"A mediocre alchemist named Craty, who concocted it in order to become a werewolf, was the only potion he succeeded in concocting."

"He firmly believed that werewolves were the darlings of the creator gods, and imitated werewolves to smear potions all over their bodies under the blood moon, but he got nothing but the thick hair on his body."

Unlike the introduction of other potions, this note does not follow the principle of brevity, but instead uses two lines of text to describe the alchemist who concocted the potion.

There seemed to be a hint of ridicule in the description, and perhaps even the author of the recipe thought the alchemist was a strange one.

I've only made one potion for the rest of my life, and I'm crazy about becoming a werewolf...

Martin remembered the werewolves in the Dark Side of the Moon, they weren't handsome, and they were plagued by crazy thoughts, and he didn't want to be like that.

Martin didn't understand.

"It's just a failed test for a madman."

The voice of the black face came from the recipe cover.

"Compared to the previous formula, it didn't seem to work."

There was a hint of dejection in the voice of the black face.

"No wonder it's so disappointed after tasting it... Yes, it is also a black potion, the [Virgin Body] plays a very big role in the overall growth of the physique, and the [Lava Kiss] can be said to be a very powerful offensive potion, which can save your life at a critical moment. ”

"But this so-called [Craty's wreath] can only make people grow hair..."

Martin thought to himself, suddenly, something in his mind flashed away like a shooting star.

"Does this potion promote human hair growth?"

As he asked, an emotion rose from his heart like a flame, and he even became a little nervous.

It was an arc of great opportunity, and he seemed to be able to reach out and touch it.

"Yes, but it will only turn people into long-haired monsters, and the thick black hairs will cover every inch of your skin, and under the influence of the [Oil of Nothingness], these long-hairs will not fall off until you die."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the blackface's tone, as if he was also laughing at the alchemist who didn't do his job.

"That alchemist is a genius!"

Martin closed the recipe and shouted.

Blackface was a little puzzled, it didn't understand, why a failed alchemist who worshipped werewolves could be called a genius?

Even the white-faced Cook next to him showed a surprised expression, and it was silent at the moment when it was good at praising Martin.

Martin's guess was confirmed, and a huge sense of excitement filled his mind, and he walked to the medicine cabinet in the corner and began to rummage through the cabinets to find the medicinal herbs.

He's going to make it now.

Since there are these kinds of medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet in the front hall, there is no reason why you can't find them here as a warehouse.

He found purple ginger powder and sticky capes based on the label.

The sticky cape is a red, flattened creature with six spiny wrists that extend outwards and many nodulous appendages on its surface.

It looked a bit like the starfish Martin had seen in his previous life, but it was much smaller than the starfish, and was housed in a glass bottle soaked in a clear liquid.

Martin shook the glass bottle, and the cape squirmed a few times, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.

He opened the cap and poured out some clear liquid, which was sticky and sticky.

"It's still a rat's tail..."

As the name suggests, dried rat tail is air-dried rat tail, Martin remembers Juncker mentioned in the conversation that rat tail has the effect of anti-wrinkle, moisturizing and even whitening, and many women with low incomes will buy it into a medicinal powder instead of expensive cosmetics or moisturizing products.

"Beauty is a huge productivity in any era..."

He sighed as he made the label on the medicine cabinet, and finally found this somewhat curious drug in the corner.

With all the ingredients ready, Martin went to the crucible where he had just concocted the [Lava Kiss] again, measured all the ingredients with a measuring cup and a scale, and threw them into the pot in turn.

With the last drop of [Void Oil] thrown in, a spicy smell came out of the crucible.

The prepared [Craty's wreath] is grayish-black, which may be the reason for the small dose of [Nightingale], and it is a paste as a whole, like a diluted black sesame paste.

With a smile on his face, Martin scooped it out and put it into a glass bottle, shaking it, feeling that he was shaking not potions but a large amount of gold coins.

The next step was to ask Belisarius to prove the feasibility of their idea.

He grabbed the glass bottle and went to open the door to the antechamber.

"Smack-"

At that moment, a mortar on the wooden frame by the wall suddenly knocked to the ground and cracked into pieces, and some of the white powder spilled out, stopping Martin from opening the door.

"Bang!"

A cluster of flames appeared on the white powder out of thin air, and I saw that the powder quickly turned black and expanded sharply, and a huge golden pillar rose to the ground.

It was a golden serpent that emerged out of thin air from the powder, its triangular head shaking as if it had traveled from another dimension.

After the serpent's body snaked out completely, its two black pupilless eyes stared at Martin with interest, and the potion he had freshly mixed in his hand.

I saw that it was smeared with letters, and its expression was vivid and spoken:

"[Craty's garland]? This kind of garbage is also a waste of material. ”

Its eyes moved away from the glass bottle, and its expression became a little disdainful.

"Instead of wasting time on this potion, why don't you try to concoct the [Philosopher's Stone] you just mentioned?"
