Chapter 524 I'm thinking
Pota are art.
Yes, there is no doubt that potions are art—Professor Snape said it in the first lesson of Potions.
It is a magic in another sense, a spell sealed by liquid, and another strange method of casting, rather than a herbal boiled soup as commonly understood.
Although herbal medicine and pharmacology have a lot in common, they have real essential differences.
Andrew burned potion ingredients for nearly a year and was very supportive of the theory proposed by Professor Snape when he entered school. Potions are not something that can be made by simply stirring. It is actually rare in the ritual magic of the old wizard era. The legacy of things.
The more complex the potion is, the more we need to pay attention to the sense of ritual, and time, heat, materials, steps... we must not miss one.
But this was just the initial understanding. After starting to use deformation techniques to explore the characteristics of the potion raw materials and began to substitute these characteristics into a series of steps when cooking potion, Andrew gradually became more and more likely to do so in his mind. The concept of alternative was constructed - the exact point, this was an expansion in the field of transformation, but it was already in line with the concept of potion.
But he wasn't sure if his thinking was correct, until Professor Snape gave him a positive answer.
"So, will I start now?"
Andrew suppressed his inner excitement and asked in a low voice. "Yes, but prepare the materials yourself." Professor Snape nodded - this reaction was a bit beyond Andrew's expectations.
But he had no intention of expecting the professor in front of him to get the answer from Professor Snape, which was beyond the expectations of many students. He was so expensive on his list that he was dying Even Slytherin students dare not dream of teaching materials.
So Andrew quickly ran back to his laboratory, got all the materials and crucibles--hesitated for a little, and prepared another one.
After getting ready, Andrew ran down to Professor Snape's office with his own stuff.
"What a luxurious configuration. How much does your new formula cost?"
Professor Snape looked at the first material that Andrew put on, and his tone returned to the kind he had in the previous class. With a sarcastic feeling.
"Five times the price? I'm not sure, the supplier gave me a discount when I purchased it..."
Andrew responded in a low voice, patiently pre-treating the materials.
It's not possible. The first time I changed it. For the sake of safety, he directly used materials with better effect as a flat replacement. It is naturally much more expensive than the general version, not to mention that his main intention is to shorten the boiling time. That would cost even more money.
If you don't spend money, Professor Snape would only allow him to boil potions that had been cooked in his office for nearly a month - compound decoction is not a short-term potion.
'But the problem is not big. I mastered the human body deformation technique. Although I only thought about it according to the cooking method of the book in the library's forbidden book area, my feelings should be the same. ’
After understanding of the transformation technique, this complex potion was the most familiar potion, and he did not choose randomly.
Immediately, boil water.
Andrew took a deep breath and stopped thinking about anything else - it was definitely not a joke to shorten a potion that had been used for a month to less than two hours, which meant that the addition stage of the replacement was the most demanding.
First of all, the grass worm that has been boiled for the longest time. The 21-day boiling time is used to make the change from egg to adult in the potion ceremony.
It sounds strange, but it does - potions are artistic and magical rituals. Its essential effect is to attach this change force to the liquid spell, which is something that Andrew only determined after he frantically explored the raw materials of the potion and brought it into the ceremony.
Grass worms are not valuable, and they don’t even count herbs. This thing is even luxurious enough to be used for free for students because it is too common.
‘The main medicine is…’
He carefully stuffed the crystal worms in his hand into the pot--thirty-galone pair of this thing, or a smuggled goods!
The power similar to the transfiguration was quickly decomposed, but it was sealed tightly by the crucible, and even Andrew could only sense a little.
'Then the vampire's blood…'
…
One potion after another, which was priced by Galone, was stuffed into the pot by Andrew. He stared at his cauldron, not missing a slight change.
It costs more than just Gallon to concentrate in one month to two hours!
He didn't even have time to sort out the thoughts that emerged with the steam, but just blindly judged the condition of the medicine and added materials when appropriate.
'I still have to thank those failed cases for their inspiration. If there is no potion of different quality from my classmates...'
"Cough!"
Professor Snape's cough interrupted Andrew's sudden dissipation of thought. He just took a look and immediately added another material to his hand.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
Black smoke instantly boiled out of the pot, and the expensive pot of medicine became like a pile of mud.
But Andrew's face showed a look of surprise. He poked the potion with the stirred copper rod, then dipped the copper rod with his left hand, and made a simple gesture, and the transformation technique was instantly mobilized.
"Don't cast spells with gestures."
Professor Snape's expression was not very friendly to remind him, but he didn't feel much unhappy in his tone, "No need to test, the potion succeeded."
The professor's judgment was correct, and the feedback from Andrew's hand of the transfiguration It is exactly the same as before in the laboratory.
"Thank you very much for your guidance, professor."
Andrew put away the stirring rod, then carefully extinguish the flames, clean the potion ingredients at hand and encapsulate them again, then this is what happened after Andrew put the stirring rod in place, Turn around and thank Professor Snape seriously. "Nothing, it's just a normal potion foundation. Although I always meet stupid people, I'm still willing to teach something when I meet students who can understand them occasionally," Professor Snape He looked at Andrew's potion, "It's just the first time I've encountered such a wasteful change."
He shook his head and looked at another packaged potion material that Andrew brought, "What is there?"
Andrew carefully unwrapped the package and displayed the ingredients one by one.
"That's all?"
Professor Snape glanced, thought again, and his tone improved a little, "Is it a compound decoction? That's all?"
< br>"Just that, I just tested it, Professor - if nothing unexpected happens, these cheap raw materials plus special restrictions are enough to constitute the element of the potion ritual."
Of course, it is expensive to ensure success, but the product has no meaning except showing off. It has not only improved the raw materials!
