Leo took it and looked at it, and the name of the book was "The Complete Book of Elementary Magic Potions". Although it is well maintained, and the paper is made of special materials and is very tough, the entire edge has been ground out of the edges, which is obviously some years.

In this world, mages are not only a combat profession, but also play many other roles. The two main branches are the Alchemy School and the Inscription School, each of which is divided into many sub-schools.

Potions is an important sub-school of the Alchemy School, and it is something that many mages must learn. However, according to common sense, learning magic should first lay a good theoretical foundation and exercise the ability to cast spells, rather than alchemy and inscriptions.

Although Leo was very puzzled, he didn't dare to ask more. Fortunately, he was still very interested in potions, so he commanded the professor and copied the entire "Elementary Magic Potions" to his head. But because the notes were so thick, he had to empty the contents that had previously been stored in the professor's cache to make enough space for copying the notes.

After just ten minutes, Leo had memorized 100 pages of notes containing more than 20 primary magic potions, and he said, "Master, I have written it down. ”

"So fast?" the old mage couldn't believe it, although he had already tested Leo's ability, "Recite to me the recipe and process of making the sleeping water." ”

Leo had no difficulty reciting what had already been copied in his head, and he was even more fluent than he was reading.

"The standard amount of sleeping water requires 3 grams of tranquil stamens, 1 gram of blood-coated vine thorns, 2 grams of Kamo rhino horn powder, and 3 grams of dreamstone essence. When comparing, first dissolve the Camo rhino horn powder with pure water, then add blood-coated vine thorns, and inject magic power to activate the properties of the potion, and finally add the tranquil stamen and dream stone essence, if the potion changes from reddish-brown to colorless and transparent, it means that the potion is successful. ”

The old mage was still not at ease, and asked Leo to recite the recipes and preparation processes of the other two potions one after another.

Leo did not pause, and immediately recited it without missing a trace.

............

............

"Alas, this is really a godsend!" the old mage couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, bitterness, envy, and even jealousy. But soon he was happy again, because this boy was so well suited to be an assistant.

"From today onwards, every afternoon I will teach you how to make a magic potion, which is an important part of learning magic. Of course, the old mage had his own plans, and deliberately scared Leo and said: "Don't look at your own ability to learn magic, but you must be guided by someone to make the potion, although the recipe and the process of making zuò are listed in the notes, but many details can only be grasped by experience, and if you are a little less, it will cause an accident, so you must be careful." ”

"Good master, I will definitely redouble my heart. Leo replied very earnestly.

The old mage suddenly glared at him, and said unhappily, "Do you still call me master?"

Leo was stunned for a moment, but then he was happy in his heart, and said this to Jean, obviously to change his name, that is, to completely accept himself. He hurriedly straightened his body and bowed respectfully, "Teacher!"

Byron smiled with satisfaction, "Well, today I will teach you the most basic and most widely used medicine for treating minor injuries." Recite the recipe. ”

"3 grams of bone-setting grass, 3 grams of heather, and 5 milliliters of lizard blood. ”

The old mage was obviously ready, and opened the box on the platform, revealing a few blue blades of grass, a few small pale yellow flowers, and a bottle of dark red liquid inside.

"I'll tell you the nature of these things first, you must read them carefully and remember them clearly, if you make a mistake in the future, you may kill yourself and others!" the old mage took the grass stem, "This is bone-setting grass, even if it is not made into a medicine, it has a good effect on stopping bleeding." Do you see clearly, the leaves are jagged, and there is another bitter cold grass, which looks very similar to it, but the edges of the leaves are not so sharp, and the nature is completely different. ”

Picking up the little flower again, the old mage continued: "This is a heather, its function is to inhibit corruption, smell this fragrance, it's very special, right?" ”

Seeing that Leo was very serious, the old mage finally picked up the bottle of liquid, "This is the blood of the ground lizard, the ground lizard, even if it lacks limbs, can grow quickly, so its blood can make the wound heal faster." However, things are so similar to the blood of other creatures that there is no good way to tell them apart. ”

"So what to do?" Leo wondered.

The old mage said logically: "What else can I do, catch a ground lizard and bleed it yourself, and it will definitely not be wrong." ”

"Uh......" Leo was speechless.

"Now I'll make a bottle of zuò first, you see. The old mage set up the cauldron, lit the magic flame again, turned his head and said, "Go and get a bottle of pure water." ”

Leo had already done a lot of work for the old mage, so he naturally knew where the pure water was, so he walked a few steps to the shelves around the real yàn room, retrieved a bottle, and handed it to the old mage.

"Remember, to make a magic potion, you must use pure water, even if there is a little impurity in the water, the potion is likely to fail. The old mage explained as he poured pure water into the cauldron.

When the water boiled, he crushed the bruising grass again, pinched the weight, and threw it into the crucible. "When adding materials, you must be careful, never add more or too little. If you add too much, the agent is too viscous, add too little, the amount of medicine is insufficient, try to strictly follow the formula, and you will generally not go wrong. Now I'm going to start stirring, remember, always go in one direction. Keep an eye on the temperature too!"

"Are you afraid of affecting the ingredients of the potion?" Leo interjected.

"Yes!" the old mage glanced at Leo, satisfied with his understanding, "If the temperature is too high, the ingredients of the potion will be destroyed, and if it is too low, it will not be able to completely dissolve into the water." ”

"How do you control this temperature?"

"According to the color of the crucible, you see that the crucible is black now, which means that the temperature is normal, if it turns red, the temperature is too high, if it turns cyan, it means that the temperature is too low, and the specific subtle changes depend on the accumulation of experience. ”

"It's not the end of getting a thermometer, with the standards of this world, it shouldn't be difficult. Leo muttered secretly.

At this time, the bone-setting grass had completely dissolved into the water and turned into a light blue liquid, and the old mage saw the opportunity and threw the heather powder into it.

"Observe that the solution has not changed yet, and after a while, it will turn green. ”

Sure enough, as the heating continued, the solution slowly turned green. The old mage sniffed, "Do you smell the fragrance?"

"Smelled. Leo carefully distinguished this peculiar fragrance, which was somewhat similar to the aroma of heather just now, but completely different, and he subconsciously said: "These are two substances, which have been fused?"

Fortunately, Leo reacted in time, so he didn't say the word chemical reaction, and God knows if there is a specific chemical concept in this world.

The old mage dipped a little solution with a stirring rod to make Leo look more closely, and said, "Yes, under heating conditions, bone-setting and heather will merge to form a completely new substance, and only when this fragrance is emitted can the fusion be successful." ”

After the solvent continued to boil for a while, and most of the pure water had evaporated, the old mage saw that the fire was almost ready, so he extinguished the magic flame and poured the liquid in the cauldron into an empty potion bottle.

"Here's the most crucial, infuse the mana, and then add the blood of the earth lizard. Basically, all magic potions need to be infused with magic in order to be fully active. You can't see this process, so you have to feel the magic fluctuations carefully. "The old mage's attitude is noticeably more serious.

As soon as the words fell, the magic in the space suddenly fluctuated slightly.

Leo could perceive it, and the invisible magic slowly flowed into the potion bottle like a trickle.

And the liquid, which had been stabilized, instantly boiled again.

"Now add the blood of the earth lizard, and you must not cut off the mana infusion, otherwise the potion will be completely invalid. Byron spoke.

Leo saw that his movements in his hands were quite steady, and he should not be interrupted by himself, so he interjected and asked, "Teacher, what is the intention of injecting magic power?"

"The primordial pure magic is full of activity, so it can bring out the activity that many substances have lost, and that's the most important point. Of course, the method of making high-grade potions will be very different, but you don't need to know so much about it now. The old mage explained, carefully observed the potion, and continued: "For example, this bottle of potion, when the concentration of mana reaches a certain level. The substance fused with the bone-setting grass and heather will be activated and perfectly fused with the blood of the ground lizard, look!"

With the old mage injecting the blood of the earth lizard, the original green potion quickly turned milky white. And a cloud of smoke also rose with it, carrying a thick bloody gas.

The boiling liquid quickly subsided, and for a moment, Leo even saw the brilliance of magic in it.

A bottle of healing potion for minor injuries had been made, and the old mage asked, "Leo, have you memorized the whole process?"

"Remembered. Leo looked at the milky liquid curiously, eager to try its effects.

The old mage, of course, knew what he was thinking, and pointed to the potion bottle and said, "You can try it." ”

"There won't be any side effects, right?" Leo hesitated.

The old mage smiled: "Of course not, this is only a primary potion, the effect of the medicine is very weak, even if you drink this bottle, there will be no problem." ”

Leo relieved himself, picked up the vial and took a sip. Although it smelled bloody, I didn't expect the taste of the potion to be very cool and smooth, even better than the drinks in my previous life.

"It tastes pretty good, a lot of mages like to drink it when they have nothing to do, and it has a slight pick-me-up. The old mage pursed his lips, obviously wanting to take a bite himself, but for some reason, he had to give up.
