Chapter 53 Tiny Progress
Medicine Garden, in Gaode’s workshop.
Gaode carefully opened the box, took out a small bottle of basic magic potion, and held it in his hand.
"Luxury!" He couldn't help but sigh again.
The price of this small bottle of liquid medicine is enough to cover the expenses of eight people in the medicine garden for nearly ten days.
And when he practices the guidance method, he can consume a small bottle in two days.
The money was spent, and Gaode stopped worrying and gently pulled out the cork.
A strange smell of medicinal liquid filled the air, but it was not unpleasant.
Gulu~
Gothe raised his head and drank the bottle of basic magic potion in one gulp. After making sure that not a drop was left, he put the empty bottle back into the box.
Rinse it, and the medicine can be recycled later, but it cannot be wasted.
“Don’t let me down with such an expensive price.”
Gaode muttered to himself, and then quickly fell into concentration and entered the state of meditation necessary for the practice of guidance.
As soon as he entered the state of meditation, Gaode felt the difference.
A stream of heat was continuously emerging from his abdomen, which was a continuous flow of magic power.
Under normal circumstances, magic power floats in the outside world, and he needs to guide it into his body through the guidance method, and then convert it into his own mana.
But now, the magic power is gathering in his abdomen, where does it need to be guided into the body from the outside world?
Gaode had never seen such a good thing before, and he quickly ran the guidance method eagerly, greedily absorbing the magic power accumulated in his lower abdomen and converting it into his own magic power.
Feeling the increasingly full mana in his body, Gaode, who was in a state of trance, unconsciously had a smile on his face.
It wasn't until the mental depletion reached the critical point that Gaode woke up from his trance and stopped practicing the guidance method.
"Sure enough, you get what you pay for. The progress in cultivation this time is worth the five or six times in the past." Gothe felt the improvement of his magic power carefully and sighed sincerely.
“If I insist on drinking basic magic potions to assist in the practice of Guidance, my mana will be able to reach a higher level in three days.”
It took the predecessor two years to combine Guidance and Meditation. Each of them practiced to the realm of five tricks and five lotus petals.
This is on the premise that his cultivation talent is already outstanding compared to other apprentices in the medicine garden.
In fact, not only the apprentices, but also Master Seda's mage talent is far inferior to "Gaode".
Master Seda did not reach the third-level apprenticeship until he was thirty-five years old, despite occasionally drinking basic magic potion.
In fact, even if the scope is enlarged to include all mages, the talent of the previous mages should still be ranked in the middle and lower reaches.
Even so, it took him an average of 144 days, or 5 months, to break through the first level.
If calculated based on this level of practice efficiency, it seems that it would only take 2880 days if Gao De's predecessor wanted to advance the guidance method from entry-level practice to third-class apprenticeship (twenty tricks) without slacking off for a day. That is eight years.
Of course, practice cannot be calculated in such a simple way.
The reason why mage apprentices are divided into first level to third level is because for each level, the time required to increase a small level of mana also increases by one level.
In layman’s terms, it means progressing from 60 to 70, and from 70 to 80. Although they both increase by ten points, the effort and energy required are definitely different.
Normally, the time it takes for the same person to increase one level of mana in the second-class apprenticeship stage is 1.5 times that of the first-class apprenticeship stage.
"From a second-class apprentice to a third-class apprentice, the mana needs to be increased by fifteen small levels. One small level is 144 days multiplied by 1.5, that is 216 days." Gothe calculated in his mind.
"If you want to become a third-class apprentice, then you have to."
Gao Delue did some mental calculations and came up with the answer: "3240 days."
Exactly 9 years.
Including the previous two years, it is 11 years.
As for those with more average mage talents, if they want to practice to a third-class apprentice, it will even take more than twenty years.
“No, it can’t be calculated that way. With the breakthrough of meditation and the growth of mental power, the time that can be practiced in the guidance method in a day will also increase, and the efficiency of absorbing magic power will also increase.”< br>
"This is equivalent to the fact that the speed of training in the guidance method will continue to increase with the breakthrough of meditation."
With this layer added, Gaode will no longer be able to make accurate calculations.
But it’s good to know that the total time required will be much less than 9 years. The tentative estimate is seven years. After seven years, he will only be twenty.
At the age of twenty, he can reach the level of third-class apprentice.
"You can also drink basic magic potions to speed up your practice. Now after drinking basic magic potions, one day is better than five days."
"A set (3 small bottles) of basic magic potions can last me six days of practice. , but this is because I am still a first-class apprentice. Once I reach the second-class apprenticeship, I will need to consume a small bottle of magic potion a day."
"If you drink the basic magic potion throughout the whole process,"
I thought. Calculating, Gaode once again came up with the answer: "43.2 days to advance to a small level, and the next level will be broken through soon. If deductions are not included, there will be fourteen small levels left."
He calculated for a while. .
604.8 days, 1.68 years.
Yes, if he insists on taking drugs, he can reach the level of third-class apprentice in no more than two years, which is the same level as Master Seda.
This is the charm of "taking drugs".
“A set of basic magic potions is 6 gold and 10 silver. Calculated according to the consumption rate of second-class apprentices, it will consume approximately 201 sets of basic magic potions, which is 1306 gold.”
Gaode used both hands. Don't forget it.
Not really.
"Let's keep our feet on the ground. This medicine can only be taken occasionally." He became honest and no longer had wishful thinking.
It’s just
Gaode frowned again, thinking of a key question.
I have only been in this world for two months, and my meditation technique has already broken through from five lotus petals to seven lotus petals!
"Without the aid of magic potion, my meditation progress will soon be far ahead of the guidance method."
"But if I want to drink basic magic potion for a long time, I can never afford this expense." "
The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable.
A penny can stump a hero, but never Gao De.
But for 1,306 gold, two high virtues can be stumped.
"It would be great if I could get a prescription for the basic magic potion." Gothe murmured.
Elementary spider poison potion, if all the raw materials are purchased, the material cost of a set of potions is 30 silver.
If you have your own medicine garden and cultivate the raw materials required for medicine, the cost of these materials can be reduced by more than half.
The purchase price offered by Phil's Potion Shop to the potion master is a set of 2 gold.
The primary spider poison potion was transferred from the hands of the potion master to the pharmacy. After being transferred, the selling price will rise to 2 gold and 10 silver.
Based on this rough estimate, if Gaode can prepare basic magic potions by himself, the cost of a set of basic magic potions can be reduced from the current 6 gold and 10 silver to about 3 gold, or even lower.
It’s just that this is almost impossible.
It is impossible for the prescription of basic magic potion to appear on the market.
For any potion master, this is not for sale!
After drinking the basic magic potion, the practice speed of Gaode's guidance method finally caught up with the meditation method for the time being, and began to advance rapidly.
Just as he predicted, three days later, on the 13th day of the Green Bud Month, the guidance method, which had been progressing so slowly as an old ox pulling a cart that made Gothe anxious, finally had a breakthrough.
As the magic power from the potion in his lower abdomen was absorbed and transformed into his own mana, it gradually blended in with his own mana and became huge
Suddenly, his whole body shook slightly. The mana flow suddenly expanded by 20%.
Gaode knew what was going on and let out a sigh of relief.
"I finally made a breakthrough. Now I have enough mana to cast six tricks."
If he practices the guidance method to perfection, he will have enough magic power to cast twenty tricks in one breath.
Although the guidance method does not clearly divide the realm, it is only roughly divided into first to third class apprentices.
But based on the number of spells that his current mana can release in one breath, Gaode can also calculate every bit of progress he has made.
