Chapter 109: First Refining

Three days passed in a flash.

Link spent the day in the pharmacy, learning potion dispensing with Tina.

In the evening, I returned to the academy and practiced what I had learned during the day in the laboratory on the third basement floor, using intelligent simulation equipment.

In this way, he has reached the point where he can barely get started, and he can try to dispense some relatively ordinary potions.

Not......

The relatively ordinary potions produced by Wizard Seren are equivalent to the six potions for first- and second-level wizards launched at the press conference, and they are of a high level that many pharmacists cannot refine in their lifetimes.

When Link got his hands dirty, he always felt that what he was holding in his hand was not a potion, but a magic stone.

It's hot!

Fortunately, Link is also a bold and careful person, and with the help of "Occlumency", even if he stumbles, he still successfully dispenses without causing waste.

This surprised Tina, who was watching from the sidelines.

I think that at the beginning, Tina was the first time to get hands-on, but she ruined several bottles of precious potion stock solution.

It was also lucky that Tina met a good boss at that time and didn't let her compensate for the loss.

Otherwise, I would really respond to Link's sentence and I can't afford to sell her!

"I envy your talent, Little Link."

Coldly, Tina let out a heartfelt sigh.

To be gifted is to be willful and to do whatever you want.

Tina believed that it would not be long before the shortcomings of her knowledge of pharmacy and alchemy potions were made up, and Link would be able to become a qualified full-fledged pharmacist.

Instead of being like her, you need to climb slowly step by step from plant and herbal pretreatment handyman, finishing handyman, pharmacy dispensing assistant, pharmacy refining assistant, trainee pharmacist, and formal pharmacist.

It took her more than two years to take advantage of the rare return of Wizard Selene from the front line to become a potion dispensing assistant, and she was expected to become an official apothecary.

Otherwise, it will probably take more time!

"Huh?"

Link carefully put the potion into the refrigerator, and instead of pretending to be stupid and trying to perfunctory, he said seriously, "Sister Tina, what is there to envy?" I also envy that you have graduated from the High Academy at a young age. I just happen to have a little talent in botany and pharmacy, but whether I can live to become an official wizard is a bumpy road! ”

These words did have a little comforting effect, but not much.

It was more of a diversion from Tina's attention, reminding her of something from the past, good or regretful.

She couldn't help but smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with memories and remembrance.

Either way, it was the green years.

Coming back to her senses, Tina smiled and said, "Little Link, you may not know that in the spring semester of the third year and the spring semester of the fourth year, the academy has arranged an excellent opportunity each, as long as you grasp these two opportunities, even if one of them wants to be promoted to an official wizard, it is not difficult." ”

Link suddenly became interested and asked, "Can you elaborate, Sister Tina?" ”

"I can't go into details."

Tina shook her head and said, "The academy has rules that you can't divulge too much about this. As long as you remember, the two districts are better than the good ones, and then continue on your current path, do more research, publish more 'papers', and produce more results, the more the better. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Tina still emphasized: "For the academy, strong combat power and excellent research will always be scarce, never too much. ”

"Understood."

Link nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, Sister Tina, for the reminder, I will keep it in mind." ”

"Hmm. Let's get to work. ”

Tina reckons that Wizard Seren is about to return, so she decides not to fish again.

Link wouldn't refuse, walked over to the workbench, and got to work.

Complicated and difficult to operate, Link still gives Tina a hand.

Relatively simple and not so difficult to operate, Link estimated that if he could get started on his own, he would definitely get started.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

Leaving the Wizard of Seren's Apothecary, it was even more difficult to have such a chance to learn the whole process of potion refining.

This must be cherished.

It's been another busy afternoon.

Halfway through, Wizard Céline and Lorcan return to the apothecary.

As he passed the stairwell, the giant Lorcan casually glanced at the staircase on the second floor.

To be honest, he really wanted to go up.

However, his hands were too clumsy, his talent in pharmacy was insufficient, and his body size was too large, which was extremely disliked by Wizard Selene.

Therefore, he was quite envious of those guys who had extremely high aptitude for pharmacy.

It's a pity that this talent is an invisible talent, and it can't be transplanted into oneself like those physical explicit talents.

What a pity!

The sky is shining at sunset, and I get off work.

Leave the pharmacy, take the rail train, arrive at the station, and walk back to the college.

Jasmine couldn't help but ask, "Link, is that new wizard coming here today embarrassing you?" ”

She got to know Link better and better, and could see that Link's reaction to Tina's questioning at noon today was a little unnatural.

"There's no embarrassment."

Link thought for a moment and said, "It's just that something happened, a little unpleasant, not that serious." ”

"Oh, it's fine."

Jasmine explained, "Even if something happens, you have to endure it a little more, anyway, we will have a day tomorrow." ”

Tomorrow is Sunday of the sixth week of the holiday.

The last day of part-time work.

This was followed by a three-day break waiting for the start of the spring semester.

Jasmine was a little worried that Link's strong vindictiveness in the past would make Link impulsively do something stupid about hitting a stone with an egg.

Although she also knew that this worry was a bit unnecessary.

Well, but still worried.

Link smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that reckless." ”

"Hmm."

Jasmine nodded, and stopped talking.

As a shopping guide, in the face of a steady stream of customers, introducing one pharmacy after another, there are too many things to say.

It makes Jasmine not want to talk now that she doesn't have to, and she doesn't want to chat.

Evenings are usually eating, experimenting, meditating, and sleeping.

Following.

Still early risers, still early arrivals.

"Your pay."

Wizard Céline was still the first to arrive, sipping a hot drink in her right hand and tapping at the two boxes on the counter with her straight white index finger in her left hand.

The box is one large and one small, and the magic stones contained in it are naturally more and less.

The big box is Link's.

First, he has been doing it for a longer time, and secondly, the wages for the pretreatment, refining, and drug packaging of plants and herbs are higher.

The little box is Jasmine's, and she's content and doesn't have emotions just because she's less than Link.

How many first-year Storm Sea freshmen can't even find a part-time job during the holidays, so they can only stay in the academy and read books and study?

Lanie. Taylor, right?

"Thank you, Wizard Selene."

Link and Jasmine thanked each other and took their boxes.

Dressing room.

Before changing his uniform, Link opened the box and glanced at it, and there were 54 standard first-level magic stones.

Mental arithmetic, the daily wage for the pretreatment of plants and herbs is 1 standard first-class magic stone, and the daily salary for finishing and potion packaging is 2 standard first-class magic stones.

This is much higher than the average salary of a part-time part-time job in the first year of Storm Sea New Blood during the holidays, as disclosed on the "forum".

Jasmine got her hands on it, and it should be around 30 magic stones.

It's good that I have learned a lot of new things, practiced a lot of theoretical knowledge, and also got tangible benefits.

Putting away the box, Link walked out of the locker room and walked up to the second floor.

Do things from the beginning to the end.

On the last day of part-time work, you have to be more responsible and do your own things well.

It didn't take long for Tina to come to work, and when she saw Link busy in the potion dispensing operation room, preparing in advance, she couldn't help but sigh: "Little Link, you've only been here for three days, and you've raised me." ”

"What do you say, Sister Tina?"

Link asked as he put a batch of matte potion bottles that needed to be preheated into the incubator, closed the door, and turned around.

"Because you're so capable."

Tina smiled, "I've been worry-free these days, I can have whatever I want, and I'll deliver it to you right away, and I don't have to prepare in advance." ”

Link smiled too, but didn't answer.

A good assistant can really improve work efficiency.

Based on his expectations for Jasmine, Link has been demanding himself according to that expectation in the past few days when he has been working on Tina.

Do your best to be the best you can be.

After a brief chat, the two of them got busy.

The better the business in the pharmacy, the heavier the workload!

In the evening, see off the last guest.

Close most of the store's doors and turn the sign on the doorknob from "open" to "resting".

Wizard Serene calls everyone to the room where the dining room + bar has been assembled.

With a wave of her hand, the bar began to work.

Moments later, a tray of seven glasses of golden, clear sparkling wine moved onto the countertop.

Wizard Céline was the first to pick up a glass of sparkling wine.

The remaining six followed.

Giant Lorcan comes first, followed by Salia, Tina, Ella, and Link and Jasmine.

That's how status is manifested.

After only two days of coming, through some small things, the giant Lorcan showed his presence and established his status.

Wizard Cherine raised his glass and toasted: "Link. Grande, Jasmine. Kidman, congratulations on your part-time job. I am very satisfied with your work, so I will give you a short farewell party. ”

With that, Wizard Sereen raised her long, white and delicate neck and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

"Thank you, Wizard Céline, and thank you to the three sisters for taking care of me these days."

Link also raised his glass and thanked him before drinking.

"Thank you, Wizard Cérene, for this precious opportunity. Thank you three sisters for your careful teaching and maintenance. ”

Jasmine's eyes were slightly red, and she was reluctant to leave like this, saying something from her heart.

Shopping guides, just like Wizard Selene said at the beginning, will inevitably encounter some difficult customers, and will inevitably be subject to some difficulties.

Salia is a gentle big sister who always notices Jasmine in time to comfort and explain.

Even Ella, who looked at Link's displeasure, did not embarrass Jasmine, but often patiently taught Jasmine some words and sales skills.

"Congratulations."

Salia, Tina, and Ella raised their glasses and toasted with Link and Jasmine.

The successful completion of the part-time job during the holidays in the first grade, Storm Sea, is indeed something worth celebrating.

There are no explicit requirements in the academy, however, these performances will be recorded in the file.

Yutina said that the two opportunities of the leak were beneficial.

Giant Lorcan didn't speak, just took a sip of wine.

Unfamiliar, no friendship.

"Besides, Link may know better, and little Jasmine is not ignorant."

Wizard Selene spoke again at this time, and said, "The Junior Academy, the Senior Academy, and this city are only calm and safe on the surface, but in fact, they are full of dangers. I hope that you will be brave and diligent in the future, and be careful of the hidden dangers around you. ”

It's genuinely appreciative of Link. Grande's aptitude for pharmacy really feels like Link. Grande is worth cultivating, and I really think Jasmine. Kidman has a very good sparkle in him, and Wizard Selene has made a name for himself.

In other words, let alone mentioning it, there is not even a short farewell party.

"Without further ado, I wish you all a great future!"

Wizard Céline took a sip of wine and ended the short but heartfelt farewell party.

The crowd followed, and drank all the wine in their cups.

Then the group walked out of the room and left the pharmacy.

North or east, or by car, or by rail, each back to their own place.

Life is like this, often gather and often disperse, less gather and more disperse.

"Is that the end of it?"

Returning to the academy in silence, Jasmine sighed, "It feels like the first day of work happened yesterday." ”

"Well, that's the end of it."

Link said lightly, "I'm tired during this time, take a good rest for a few days, slow down, people can't be too tight." ”

"Hmm."

Jasmine nodded, and let out a long breath with a feeling of loss.

She didn't know where this emotion came from or why.

I just feel that this month's experience is much more complicated and rewarding than the previous four months.

There is a faint reluctance, a faint confusion.

But soon, Jasmine removed this emotion from her heart.

If you say you want to be brave, how can you be sentimental?

She strode upstairs and went back to her dormitory.

It is true that you need to take a break to rest.

As for Link, whatever he does.

Anyway, I can't see through that guy, so I don't bother to pay attention to him.

I'll talk about it when I'm rested.

Link left the downstairs of Jasmine's dormitory and went to the laboratory on the third basement floor of the laboratory building.

In the laboratory, Link took out the raw materials that had been prepared in advance, lilily leaf extract, sleeping flower pollen, pure water, bitter root incense, and several other plant spices.

From the development of potions to the refining of potions, in Link's plan, both are equally important.

Through the Lilily series, including aromatherapy essential oils, fragrances, and perfumes, Link has some experience in the research and development of medicines.

But in terms of potion refining, Link is still a pure rookie.

In addition to the gimmicks and the influence of the witch equality movement, the Lidaylily series was able to get good reviews and cause panic buying, because it was sublimated in all aspects through the hands of Wizard Selene.

Link hasn't refined even a single bottle of finished product yet.

However, after a month and a half of part-time work, from the pretreatment of plants and herbs, to the refining, to the dispensing of potions, to watching Wizard Seren refine potions a few times in his free time, Link felt that he could now try to make potions independently.

It's better to be raw than cooked.

As a practitioner, the Lilily series is the most suitable.

After adjusting the parameters of several key pieces of equipment, Link poured the licanopy leaf extract into a crucible and heated it to a boil.

At the same time, the sleeping flower pollen was put into the reactor engraved with an alchemy rune array, and Link steadily input a certain frequency and amount of spiritual power and magic power according to the requirements.

This process is an extension and elevation of Link's thinking by Wizard Seren.

Sleeping flowers are ordinary plants, and after being treated with the conventional methods and means of pharmacy, they may have a certain effect on wizard apprentices, but not much.

Not to mention for official wizards.

After the sublimation of the alchemy rune array, the effect of the sleeping flower pollen has been enhanced, and as an ingredient that plays an auxiliary role in the potion, it is completely qualified.

Sleeping pollen requires a long alchemical reaction.

Link went back to the already boiled lily leaf extract.

Filter out impurities, let stand and cool, and then process and crystallize.

The leaf extract crystallized into powder and added to the main reactor engraved with a set of alchemy rune arrays, input a certain frequency and amount of spiritual power and magic power, and preheat it for fifteen minutes.

This step was also added by Wizard Selene.

It can maximize the effect of licanopy leaf extract.

Compared with the conventional means of pharmacy, the positive impact on meditation is a grade higher.

The preheating is complete, and the sleeping pollen is processed at this time and transferred to the main reactor.

Add five times the amount of pure water, and patiently boil slowly for two hours to obtain a high-concentration stock solution of daylily aromatherapy essential oil.

After doing this, Link took a break and continued to refine the fragrance and perfume of licanis.

Late at night, early in the morning.

Link had finally finished his first formal potion refining.

Daylily aromatherapy essential oil stock solution, fragrance stock solution, perfume stock solution, contained in three large-capacity glass jars, placed in front of Link one by one.

A drop of the stock solution is sucked from each of the three glass jars and sent to the instrument for testing one by one.

After a few moments, the test results came in.

Link carefully read all the data, both satisfied and a little regretful.

The satisfaction lies in the fact that the three stock solutions have reached the qualified standards and can be diluted, aliquoted, and brought to the market.

Unfortunately, there are a few data indicators that are a little lower than expected, and it is because of Link's refining method that there are problems.

"We need to keep working hard."

Muttering to himself, Link continued to do things.

The stock solution is diluted one by one, aliquoted, and stored in refrigeration equipment.

Then clean up the equipment and instruments used before in the laboratory, and mobilize intelligent puppets to clean up.

It wasn't until the lab was cleaned up and the items were sorted that Link changed his clothes and returned to his dorm.

Wash up, meditate deeply, and sleep soundly.

Sleep till dawn.

Link cleaned up his personal hygiene and went to the study.

Spreading out the pen and paper, recalling the process, mistakes, mistakes, and experiences of refining potions for the first time last night, Link began to write.

From the preparation of raw materials, to the parameter debugging of refining equipment, to the processing of ingredients, the processing of main materials, the pharmaceutical methods and alchemy pharmacy technology that need to be used, and then to the various precautions and their own refining experience, all write down.

Raise the outline and analyze it in detail.

Jasmine follows the study, as long as she is willing to spend time, energy, and use her brain to think, she will soon be able to learn.

One person gets it, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, probably like that.
