"The last step."
Maureen held a test tube in her hand and muttered to herself.
There was a light purple liquid in the test tube, with slight bubbles coming out.
"Add the solution of Fenglan root to increase the activity of the recovery potion...ah, damn it!" Morin had just thought so when suddenly, a huge muffled sound came from the glass container in front of him, and then with a puff, a puff of white smoke came out of the glass container. The originally green colloidal liquid in the entire glass container suddenly turned black, and a foul smell continued to be emitted.
Maureen's body froze.
After a long time, he sighed, slowly put down the glass test tube in his hand, and said: "The refining failed..."
Mo Lin felt really helpless. He was only one step away from success, but at such a critical moment, who could have thought that he would suddenly fail.
"Chip, analyze the cause!"
"Ding! The reasons are analyzed as follows!"
"The main body's mental power fluctuates!"
"When the first set of materials was dissolved, I didn't prepare to grasp the melting point properly!"
"The second set of materials did not handle the timing of adding the blending agent properly!"
"…"
The chip sounded and immediately gave many reasons.
Mo Lin suddenly felt a toothache. He thought for a moment and said, "Call up the previous simulation plan and compare it with my actual operation!"
"Ding! Based on the actual operation of the subject, there are deviations in the second and fourth links of the simulation plan!"
Maureen didn't know what expression to use. Well, there could actually be deviations.
"It seems that I still have a lot of work to do." Morin's mood finally calmed down.
He cleaned up the wasted liquid and tried again, but it still didn't work, so Morin didn't continue.
After thinking about it, Maureen rested for a while, then went out to meet Adrian.
"Teacher." Morin bowed slightly.
"Molin, you're here. Um, come and help me deal with the Holland worms today. By the way, it's your turn to clean the lab today." Adrian glanced at Morin, and suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, "Such a breath, Morin, are you trying to refine a recovery potion?"
"Yes, mentor." Morin nodded, but still felt strange.
"Don't be surprised. After all, I smelled the scent of purple-blue grass and phoenix tail root on you. Combined with your current apprentice status, I naturally know what you are doing." Adrian smiled and then said, "It's just that, Morin, you have only been a first-class apprentice for a short time, and the subject knowledge you have mastered is not very sufficient."
Maureen touched his nose and said nothing.
Of course he couldn't tell Adrian about his own situation.
"Maureen, did you succeed in refining the potion?" Winnie put down the glass test tube in her hand and looked at Maureen.
"No." Morin shook his head, looking somewhat surprised.
"Okay, Morin, it's okay. After all, this is your first time refining potions. It's normal to fail." Mace comforted him. A faint smile appeared on his face, looking very gentle. He said, "Molin, if you are willing, I can explain to you some tips and precautions for refining recovery potions."
Morin was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to Mace and said, "Okay, then Mace, thank you very much."
Mace is the most proud disciple of mentor Adrian. He is very close to becoming a formal wizard and has made great achievements in alchemy. He is able to explain it to him, so Morin naturally would not refuse such a thing.
Even Maureen had to admit that Mace was really a very gentle person.
After greeting Mace and the others, Morin walked to the experimental table next to him and began to process the Holan insects.
Ever since he became a first-class apprentice, he had to help Adrian process some necessary materials according to the agreement with Adrian.
"Ugh, damn, it stinks, so fucking disgusting." Morin's face turned green as he looked at the many gray-brown bugs in the glass container that were covered in mucus, wriggling constantly, and emitting a strange stench that was a mixture of rotten eggs and sewers.
"When I become a pharmacist in the future, I will never choose disgusting ingredients! I definitely won't!"
Maureen put on gloves and screamed fiercely in his heart.
Beside them, Metz and the others looked at Morin's expression and couldn't help but burst into good-natured laughter.
Before long, Morin had dealt with all the Holan bugs. Adrian gave Morin some guidance on his practice. Coincidentally, Mace was also free at this time, so he also told Morin the techniques and precautions of refining recovery potions.
Maureen listened and recorded it with a chip, then turned around and walked outside.
"Hey, Maureen."
As soon as he came out, Lilith appeared beside him, looking straight at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Lilith." Maureen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Tsk tsk, I never thought that Morin, you are actually trying to make a potion." Lilith looked at Morin with interest, as if she had thought of something, and slowly approached Morin and said, "Molin, let's go, let's go to the party together."
"Lilith, what party are you talking about?" Morin's voice sounded a little surprised. He was actually quite confused about the party Lilith was talking about.
"It's a gathering of pharmacist apprentices." Lilith whispered, "There are several instructors in the Dark Forest who are good at pharmacy, but we can't ask the instructors for everything, so it is inevitable that we pharmacist apprentices will hold a gathering."
"After all, you can't study pharmacy in isolation. You have to communicate and exchange with others. This is the best way to make progress."
Lilith looked at Maureen, her eyes shining and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Okay, when?" Morin understood the meaning of this party and naturally would not refuse.
"Now!"
Lilith smiled.
Morin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. Then he followed Lilith and walked forward.
After walking for a while and turning a few corners, they appeared in a remote hall. There were many wizard apprentices here, but they all had mixed smells on their bodies, and they were obviously pharmacist apprentices at a glance.
However, there are no other wizard apprentices here. It seems strange, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. After all, this is a place for pharmacist apprentices to communicate with each other. If you are not a pharmacist apprentice, it is actually difficult to communicate here, and there is no point in coming.
Furthermore, if you want finished medicine, you can go to the trading area, there is no need to come to this place.
"Look, Morin, that's the notice board. You can list some things you want, and you can get the answer as long as you pay magic stones. Of course, you can also get magic stones by answering other people's questions."
Lilith pointed to a huge gray curtain hanging in the center and kept talking, appearing very enthusiastic.
Morin nodded, looking around.
"Transactions, public announcements, answers, exchanges. It seems that the functions here are quite comprehensive. For a pharmacist apprentice, this is already quite good." Morin touched his chin and thought silently in his heart.
Soon, Maureen and Lilith separated. Lilith went to a small stall, as if buying something, while Maureen stood in front of the bulletin board, looking at it, watching it non-stop.
"Come and see what's there." Morin's eyes kept scanning the bulletin board.
"On the maintenance of the physiological activity of the blue-blooded frog at zero degrees..."
"On the three ways to deal with the Skek beetle and the use of the Skek beetle juice..."
"…"
Morin looked at it slowly and found that the contents were all extremely useful knowledge, and there were also many good guesses, some of which were not even included in the library area.
"If I had known there was such a thing, I would have come here sooner."
Maureen touched his nose and felt that he was really late.
But then he collected his thoughts and began to read it seriously.
The chip is scanning, recording and recording faithfully.
At the same time, Maureen also raised his own questions and transmitted them on the bulletin board using simple witchcraft energy particles. At the same time, he was also trying to answer the questions of other pharmacist apprentices. Some of them were very simple and were just common sense questions, while some of the questions and angles of thinking were very strange, which made him feel difficult.
After all this, Morin not only did not lose money, but also earned some magic stones.
After a long time, Morin finally withdrew his gaze.
"This trip is really worthwhile." Morin whispered to himself.
"Chip, what's going on?"
"Ding! Knowledge is being collected!"
"Complete collection!"
"Successfully classified into the category of pharmacy knowledge!"
"That's good." Seeing this, Morin smiled softly.
He looked around, thought for a while, and then slowly walked around the stalls.
Next to a small stall, Morin glanced at the materials around him and was about to turn around and leave, but just as he turned around, the owner of the stall called him.
"Hey, friend, do you think the things here are unattractive?" The owner of the stall was a young man with golden curly hair and light freckles on his face. He slowly approached Maureen and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm George."
"I'm Maureen." Maureen glanced at George and said, "From what you said, you have something good. So, what do you have?"
"Have you ever heard of combined witchcraft?"
George looked mysterious and said, "It means that you can combine the various witchcrafts that you have released to form a more powerful combination of witchcraft."
"Combination of witchcraft?" Morin became interested and asked, "Do you have something like this?"
"Of course."
George flipped his hand and immediately took out a thick book with an old-looking cover. He said, "This is combined witchcraft. I accidentally found it in the ruins of an ancient wizard. How about it? Are you interested?"
"Let me take a look." Morin took the book and began to flip through the front page.
But the more he read, the darker his face became. He said, "George, the things on it are just some guesses. They become more and more irrelevant. In the end, you even have to use secret codes to read them."
George seemed very embarrassed, but he reacted immediately and said, "But this thing is a guess by a real wizard, and I found it in the ruins of an ancient wizard. This is the most mysterious and powerful ancient wizard. Maybe the combined witchcraft inside is real. If so, wouldn't you make a fortune?"
Hearing George say this, Maureen began to waver.
"Okay, what do you need in exchange for this thing?" Morin asked.
"How about a high-level paid subject knowledge?" George smiled brightly.
"An advanced paid subject? This should cost at least 300 magic stones."
Maureen's face immediately darkened.
He had the paid subject knowledge of "Basic Principles of Pharmacy" as an exchange, but he just gave it away like that. Do you think he is a fool?
"Well, don't think like that. After all, I have never heard of anyone talking about combined witchcraft. If you buy it, you might make some new discoveries, which will let... Hey, don't go!" George couldn't go on when he was halfway through his words.
"No, thank you. I can't afford it. I have no money!" Mo Lin turned around and walked to the back.
But before Morin had walked far, he suddenly heard a quarrel. In front of him, a group of people gathered together, arguing loudly about something.
Mo Lin originally wanted to leave and not care about this matter, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Lilith?"
Maureen whispered to herself.
He looked ahead and couldn't help frowning.
