NABC Chapter 23 Secondary Hemostatic Potion, Wizard's Market
Chapter 23 Secondary Hemostatic Potion, Wizard's Market
After the combat course ended.
Soon, we entered the final pharmacy course.
It wasn't in the classroom from last time, but in a huge laboratory, with complete experimental equipment laid out on twenty tables.
Brass crucibles, mortars and pestles, handmade glassware, tin balances and weights...
"These are just basic experimental equipment, not alchemical artifacts, but they are sufficient for your use."
For the next three months, we will be learning about secondary hemostatic agents. Each person can receive a set of materials. I'll demonstrate first!
Ahead, Victor arrived at the experimental table.
I took a deep breath, opened my eyes again, and exuded a strong sense of confidence.
"First, the weight of 1.5g of Trifoliate Hemostatic Herb must be accurate, otherwise it will greatly affect the stability."
Using his mental strength, Victor controlled the scales and the weights.
"Secondly, silver root grass powder and evening primrose juice are important blending and stabilizing agents, 3g each."
The former is a pale silver powder with a faint luster, while the latter is a viscous, transparent liquid.
"Next, process the main materials!"
Victor picked up the grinding pestle and began to grind the blades steadily and rhythmically.
The movements are small, yet they possess a unique sense of rhythm.
"Grinding is not about making it as fine as possible. The goal is to release the active ingredients while preventing impurities from seeping out. It needs to be in powder form, but with a slightly fine texture."
Victor explained.
The crowd below listened intently, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
"The third step is to fuse the three together, resulting in a bright red color. Finally, heating is used to promote the fusion."
Victor mixed the three substances together and then placed them on a small alcohol lamp.
The blue flame steadily licked the bottom of the crucible.
At the same time, he stirred it slowly with a stirring stick, as if caressing it.
The entire process lasted approximately ten minutes.
The liquid inside the crucible gradually deepened in color, changing from bright red to a deep and stable ruby red, emitting a unique medicinal aroma that was slightly sweet and had a hint of rust.
"Now you can start trying it."
Victor distributed the written steps to everyone, along with a copy of the materials for each person.
Ian looked down at the materials.
He took a deep breath and began to study it carefully.
The assignments came in rotation, and soon it was Ian's turn.
More than half an hour later.
Looking at the dark green potion inside the crucible, Ian's face darkened slightly.
It was clearly a complete failure.
There weren't even any new skills displayed on the panel.
"We really need to try more!"
Ian remarked with a sigh.
On the stage, Victor observed everyone; no one had succeeded.
This is normal.
If concocting potions were that simple, apothecaries wouldn't have such a high status.
In previous years, this would have ended with the end of the class.
Apprentices will gradually give up potion making and turn to other directions, either the combat department or try other logistics departments.
This is also part of the college's selection process.
......
night.
Mutual aid society.
"I'm prepared to give up on the fundamentals of pharmacy."
Logan said directly.
"Me too, this isn't a lesson prepared for us at all," Emily said, also feeling down.
"I'm going to focus on combat now. I'm going to the market today to buy a weapon." The strong William made his choice.
"I'd like to try and see what other departments within the logistics department can do."
Alfie said he was a thin boy who never had a strong presence.
"But boss, you should still be in the potions department, right?" Koro, the underling, turned to look at Ian.
"Hmm, I'm going to try again."
Ian didn't tell them about Victor, but turned to William and said, "Bring me some materials when you go to the market."
Ian hadn't been to the market since Merlin's apprentices with only third-rate talents died on their way there.
He had no intention of going there at that time.
So he planned to ask the members of the mutual aid society to help him make the trip.
"Can."
William nodded in agreement.
......
the next day.
Ian received the materials from William, who had returned.
"Ian, you really should go to the market, it's really fun," Logan, who was traveling with William, exclaimed.
"Maybe another time."
Ian smiled.
He knew there were many fun and delicious places in the market, but he simply didn't have time to waste right now.
A trip there would take at least several hours; it would be better to study more magic tricks and witchcraft.
In addition, the road is not necessarily completely safe.
He won't go there personally anytime soon.
"Wow, you really work so hard."
Logan remarked with a sigh.
After knowing Ian for a while, he realized that Ian's excellence was entirely due to hard work and dedication.
Every achievement is the result of hard work.
........
Ian's life returned to normal.
I get up at five in the morning and start studying witchcraft. In the afternoon, I go to rent a laboratory to prepare magic potions. In the evening, I fight and communicate with the members of the mutual aid society.
Because of his previous battles, Harman earned the nickname "One-Punch Harman".
It spread quite widely.
Harman was so angry that he fell into a coma.
..........
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the laboratory.
Ian looked at the pale red potion in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the quality was ridiculously poor, at least it was a success.
Open the panel.
Name: Ian Green
Age: 13
[Strength: First-class Wizard Apprentice (22/100), Knight (Perfect)]
[Talent: Three-star (164/250)]
【Skill:
Magic Tricks: Light (Master Level), Breeze (Master Level), Dust (Master Level)... (45 spells)
Zero Ring: Basic Meditation (Master Level), Lionheart Knight Technique (Master Level), Mental Impact (Master Level), Wizard's Hand (Master Level), Mental Detection (Master Level), Lightness Skill (Proficient 2/200), Magical Plant Identification (Proficient 150/200), Secondary Hemostatic Potion (Beginner 1/100)
"She's 13 years old."
Ian sighed with emotion. As a serf, the original owner of this body had no idea how old he was, let alone his birthday.
Just yesterday, on the sixth day of December, you finally changed.
As for the other changes, they all happened naturally, and the three zero-ring witchcrafts reached the master level.
He had learned as many as 42 magic tricks, but unfortunately, as he learned more and more tricks, his talent for improving his magic skills diminished.
Only about one in four or five can provide a little talent.
On the contrary, it's not as good as before.
Of course, the most important development was the emergence of secondary hemostatic agents.
"If it appears on the panel, it means you can improve it. Your crafting proficiency will increase with each subsequent crafting attempt."
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried it wouldn't appear on the panel!
Making potions is really expensive. Just to get started, he spent ten magic stones on materials and five magic stones on renting a laboratory.
There are only six left now.
......
Magic stones are consumed very quickly.
A few days later, the arrival of aid from the Silvermoon Lake family gave him a slight respite.
To Ian's surprise, however, was...
Ian is gradually able to understand the runes on the feathers, and it is estimated that they will appear on the panel in a few days.
Excellent-level witchcraft, a level above his current witchcraft.
It can also be used as a trump card.
In the blink of an eye, the second lesson proceeded as scheduled.
"good."
In the distance, Victor nodded in satisfaction as he watched Ian's movements become much more practiced than before.
Their potion-making skills are also quite good.
That night.
Ian finally succeeded in imprinting the initial runes on the feather.
New skills have appeared on the panel.
