Chapter 36 First attempt, potion?
"Deal!" Lucian looked at Carly, thought for a moment, and nodded seriously.
Carly secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it. One magic stone a week is the basis. If you work hard and don't make mistakes, then add more. This will also give full play to your enthusiasm for work!" Lucian nodded, feeling Carly's suggestion. Very well put.
Carly: Σ()
That’s really not what she meant...
"Okay, don't waste time, hurry up and start today's assistant work." Lucian gently patted Carly, who was still a little confused at this time, but he was in a very good mood.
After all, he just directly gained 50 points of reverence, which is much more valuable to Lucian at this stage than the magic stone!
Then, Lucian pointed to the wizard robe, "Even if this is 80 magic stones, before that, I won't pay you any salary...well, it's just a reward."
Carly, after being stunned for a while, slowly lowered her head. After hesitating for a moment, she silently took out her notebook, then opened the last page and began to record a special "account book".
I owe mentor Lucian a magic stone..." Carly quickly recorded it. At the same time, she looked at the many IOUs that had not been "crossed out" in the ledger, and felt a little heavy in her heart.
Before, Carly had always maintained a mentality of "get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later", but now Carly was doubting whether she had the ability to get on the bus again.
"Stop standing there stupidly. It's still the same old rules. If you delay for three hours, I will have to extend the time." Lucian looked at Carly, who was still standing at the door a little stupidly, and smiled. A reminder.
Carly then trotted in as if waking up from a dream.
"I'm going to teach you some of the most basic pharmacy operations first. Then when I prepare the pharmaceuticals, you will need to assist me in completing some of these mechanized tasks." Lucian looked at Carly, paused and said.
"After you are familiar with these tasks, and when your mental power reaches the standard, then some pharmacy processing methods that require mental assistance to operate. I will teach you step by step at that time, but by that time, some work of processing materials It will also be handed over to you."
Carly nodded slightly. After the ideological struggle just now, she now has a clear goal.
If possible, I must become an excellent pharmacist, and then do my best so that I can truly help Master Lucian instead of always hiding behind Master Lucian.
Thinking of this, a fire called fighting spirit began to burn in Carly's eyes.
"This feeling of not having to do it yourself seems to be quite good." Lucian sat on the chair, watching Carly carefully cleaning the set of equipment needed to prepare the medicine, while making plans in his mind. Placement in Pharmacy.
"At this stage, for me, the most suitable potions for improving mental strength are the Calming Potion and the Praise of the Moon." Lucian tapped his fingers on the table, "However, the configuration of these two potions is very difficult. Moreover, the price of raw materials is relatively high. If I fail several times in a row, I will not have enough magic stones. If I want to continue trying, I will need to sell the materials. "
"So it's best to choose a relatively easy potion for practice first, accumulate some experience, and at the same time earn some magic stones with the potion..." Lucian thought while sorting out the existing materials in his hand.
"Just prepare a recovery potion. The original owner has practiced the preparation of this potion before, so it is more or less a reference. And I can just make up a few copies from the existing materials, so there is no need to go to the trading area to buy it."
Soon, Lucian made a decision. With a wave of his hand, he took out the three materials needed to prepare the recovery potion from the space ring.
Blue ring mushrooms, healing grass and cold water grass.
"If there wasn't a clear record on the formula, who would have thought that the highly poisonous blue-ringed mushroom is the core material of the recovery potion?" After Lucian put on his gloves, he picked up a blue-ringed mushroom about the size of an adult's thumb. mushroom. The surface of this mushroom has beautiful blue circle-like lines. If you gently pinch the handle of the mushroom with your fingers, you can even squeeze out a translucent mucus.
Lucian took out a blunt scraper and gently scraped the translucent mucus on the blue-ringed mushroom. At the same time, he was extremely careful not to let the scraper scratch the surface of the blue-ringed mushroom.
This kind of mucus is highly toxic. Once it contaminates the effective parts inside the blue ring mushroom, the blue ring mushroom will be useless!
Moreover, because this natural toxin targets nervous tissue, it can even contaminate the wizard's mental power. Therefore, in the detoxification step, you cannot use your mental power to assist at all. You must be highly concentrated to ensure that you do not make mistakes!
After carefully peeling away the toxic mucus secreted from the surface of the blue mushroom, Lucian quickly waved a silver dagger and quickly chopped the blue mushroom into pieces.
The cut surface of the blue mushroom is pure white at first, but as it is exposed to the air, the components inside it are also rapidly oxidized, causing the cut surface to gradually turn light blue. As time goes by, the color becomes darker and darker. .
Lucian did not dare to hesitate and quickly poured these preliminary processed blue mushrooms into the crucible. Then he quickly grabbed the cold water grass on the side, quickly squeezed out the light blue juice inside and poured it into the crucible.
Gululu... As the cold waterweed juice was poured in, a large number of bubbles emerged from the inside of the crucible, and the two different substances began to react violently.
Lucian picked up the glass rod and started stirring. At the same time, his mental power also used the glass rod as a medium to reach into the "boiling" liquid. It began to act as a buffer for the two active ingredients, allowing the reaction of the blue mushroom and cold waterweed juice to change from the original Mutual consumption becomes a slow but constant fusion.
This process seems simple, but it places a huge burden on mental energy. It not only requires the pharmacist's mental energy to maintain high-precision fine control for a long time, but also has an extremely low error tolerance rate. It could be just a tiny mistake that leads to ultimate failure.
The fusion is still proceeding slowly and steadily, the semi-finished medicine liquid in the crucible is slowly bubbling, and the color of the medicine is also slowly changing.
As time passed, there were small beads of sweat on Lucian's forehead.
Suddenly, Lucian's temples jumped slightly.
laugh--
As Lucian's mental power slightly lost control, the entire potion suddenly boiled. Then the color of the potion quickly turned blue, and a puff of black smoke appeared. Along with it, there was a stench similar to that of rotting objects.
"Failed." Lucian put down the glass rod helplessly, but he did not immediately clean up the failed product. Instead, he spent 1 point of reverence to appraise it.
[Item]: Unnamed poison
[Positioning]: Potion·Poison
[Raw materials]: Cold water grass, blue mushroom
[Explanation]: The product of the pharmacist's apprentice's failure to prepare the recovery potion, which smells like decay. However, due to the operation of the reckless pharmacist apprentice, the toxic effect inside the blue ring mushroom was greatly stimulated, giving it micro-toxins that can cause mild diarrhea.
【detail】:……
Lucian's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he looked at this extremely detailed appraisal report. I feel that this appraisal report is a bit too insulting.
