"Pharmacy is the pursuit of pharmacological preparation, is the principle of understanding of plants and animals and even minerals, refining combinations to produce the most marvelous results, and by extension can be said to be the fundamental exploration and understanding of all things."
"Configuring a potion is nothing more than simply utilizing a portion of the knowledge of the basic principles of medicine, which can be said to be only a crude and simple utilization of the principles, and it simply does not reach the deep level of subtle use, let alone the pursuit of the limits of things."
"Just like the Fiber Grain Tower in the hand, but it is just the use of its ability to stimulate potential, then why is it that the Fiber Grain Tower can stimulate potential, is it what component in its body is at work? And what is the reason for this component to have such an ability?"
"Just like the adrenaline found on Earth, completely overdrawing the body at the cost of obtaining a short burst, but the after-effects are very serious, the Fiber Grain Tower does not have such side effects, the function between the two is similar, but the after-effects are not the same, where is the difference?"
"Then is the Fiber Grain Tower a replacement for adrenaline?"
"Continuing to delve deeper into its principles, can we reduce the after-effects or even cancel them out completely?"
Consider the discovery on Earth that many people can explode several times their strength in a critical situation, and that a woman can even explode to lift a car in order to save a child crushed underneath it.
It is as if there is a hidden switch naturally present in the human body, and only a very few humans can flip it on certain occasions and explode with unimaginable power.
So is it possible to find this switch?
After finding it, can it be turned on?
If it can be turned on, can this ability be normalized?
If it could be found and also normalized to turn it on, and then mitigate the side effects, would the attack power instantly increase by several times?
Li Xi, who was preparing the potion, froze, not even bothering with the boiling water in the test tube.
He didn't expect that he had just thought about pharmacology and associated so much at once.
"This is divergent thinking? Pursuing limits?"
"Seeing the world from a sorcerer's perspective? Turning the impossible into the possible?"
At this moment, Li Xi could clearly hear his heart thumping in his chest as if it was beating a drum, and the sound was so loud that even Lilith above his head looked over with a sideways glance.
"I .... , I ..."
Li Xi wanted to say something, but did not know where to start, only felt that his mouth was dry, and his brain had already been messed up into a line, could not find the beginning, could not see the end.
Messy, messy!
"Quack."
Lilith croaked when she saw the frozen Leahy.
Seeing that Li Xi did not respond, she instantly flicked out her tongue, rolled the test tube from Li Xi's hand, and took over the following process when Li Xi was about to fail in the preparation.
The skillful movements made Li Xi blush, the gap between him and Lilith was like the difference between an apprentice laborer and an eighth grade laborer, a world of difference.
In three clicks Lilith placed a dominantly prepared potion, squinting her froggy eyes at Li Xi with some obvious questioning, why did you suddenly stop, don't you know that this behavior will lead to experiment failure?
Drifted?
Don't want to buy yourself a bug platter anymore?
Facing Lilith's questioning eyes, Li Xi could only smile awkwardly, he couldn't tell Lilith that he had just thought of himself as a super god, right?
"Hehe, a sorcerer's life may give birth to countless ideas, but in the end, those that can be verified and successfully transformed into their own combat power are but a handful, to be so complacent when one has just had an idea, it's no wonder that Lilith is looking down on herself."
Li Xi forcibly pressed down the various strange thoughts that popped up in his mind, he just had 10,000 ideas right now and couldn't do anything with them, his knowledge reserve was not enough and he didn't know where to start.
This situation is equivalent to kindergarten students challenge the century problem, simply unrealistic.
It's better to be down-to-earth. If you don't have enough knowledge, then go and learn.
If you don't know how to do an experiment, do it.
If you don't know where to start, then go find it.
The life span of a sorcerer's apprentice is as long as three hundred years, and the life span of a first-class formal sorcerer is as long as a thousand years, so it's not too late for everything!
...
With Li Xi running to the Purple Gold Flower Merchant Shop again and again to make deliveries, eight years had passed, which meant that Li Xi had spent a full ten years in the Gavage High Tower.
If one still looked at it from Earth's perspective, this was really a long experience, and a human's life was only six or seven decades.
But for a sorcerer, ten years was like a blink of an eye.
Even Li Xi didn't perceive anything, busy every day, either doing experiments or being experimented on.
All kinds of new and strange knowledge filled the brain, making Li Xi unable to stop.
Only when he was called by Gavage did Li Xi touch his cheeks in a daze, it was a bit solid, without realizing it he had actually gone up ten years.
"Li Xi, my experiment has been successful, you can leave anytime." Gavage said to Li Xi.
"This period of time disturbed the master, the master taught a lot of knowledge, I will never forget, if I have that ability and qualification in the future, the master has the need to come to me despite, this is the promise of an apprentice who has been taught by you for ten years."
Time makes people grow and also teaches reasoning in an invisible way, Li Xi is not as jumpy as ten years ago, ten years of knowledge accumulation makes him more stable, even if the sudden separation can make Li Xi face it calmly and not lose his mind as if he is a homeless puppy.
What is more valuable is that even as a sorcerer apprentice, he dared to make a promise to a full-fledged sorcerer who had lived for a thousand years, and still felt very reasonable with a straight face.
This would never have been the case ten years ago.
"I'll keep that in mind, and I'll contact you if I need you in the future."
Gavage didn't smile, as if he really took a sorcerer apprentice's promise to heart.
Li Xi looked fondly at the place where he had stayed for ten years, especially the laboratory, which was almost the second home in Li Xi's short career.
With light footsteps, shadows twisted and tumbled under his feet, and a platter of bugs appeared on the ground, all of which Li Xi had prepared long ago.
"I also have to thank Master Lilith for taking care of me, I will definitely bring back delicious bugs for you when I find them in the future."
After thanking Gavage, naturally he couldn't forget Lilith, in the long time of companionship, Li Xi had already understood the meaning of a sorcerer's companion.
It wasn't what he used to think of as a pet, but a true partner, a partner who could walk through life together and fight together.
Leahy also wanted to have a partner, Lilith was no better than Gavage.
"Quack."
A black shadow flashed, and the plate was instantly all but empty.
"...."
Lish looked at Lilith who was sitting on top of Galvarchi's head, and was as quick as ever.
Lilith heard Li Xi was leaving and simply croaked twice before continuing to sit on the head of the Gavage in a daze, perhaps for her, brief encounters and departures were nothing more than a regular part of life, after all, with her lifespan, she could have witnessed the rise and fall of several dynasties.
There was nothing to hold on to, perhaps when Li Xi came next time, Lilith would only think that Li Xi had just left for a while, the same as she did every time she went to deliver medicine to the Purple Flower Merchant's Shop.
....
"Teacher Gru."
In Gru's small courtyard at the edge of the Purple Flame Wizard Academy, facing Gru whose body manifested power everywhere, Li Xi calmly saluted in greeting.
After not seeing him for ten years, Gru hadn't changed a bit, time hadn't left a little trace on his face.
This time Gru didn't fight upon meeting, but tsked at Li Xi as if he was sizing up a novelty.
"I just got up from a nap, why have you changed your appearance?" Gru asked curiously.
"Have I changed?" Li Xi faced Grue's inspecting gaze, looking straight and calm.
"I taught you the path of an Alchemy Sorcerer, look at you, do you still have a bit of the appearance of an Alchemy Sorcerer? Completely becoming an elemental sorcerer's disciple." Gelu accused in dissatisfaction.
"Teacher Gelu, is there a difference between a body refining sorcerer and an elemental sorcerer? Both are just tools for pursuing the ultimate path."
Facing Li Xi's rhetorical question, Gelu obviously froze for a moment, then laughed so loudly that the entire small courtyard shook.
Li Xi frowned as he drove his body mana to resist, it was a struggle, and the shadows under his feet were constantly tumbling to counteract the force from space.
This ten years of time Li Xi strength on the strength did not improve a little, was tortured by poison for ten whole years, the body has long been weak, if not the body refining sorcerer apprentice base is still there, Li Xi has long been a substantial regression.
Gelu laughed for a full five minutes before stopping, his face showed unprecedented positive color, this is still the first time Li Xi saw Gelu such an expression, "I didn't expect that only just ten years you understand the path of the sorcerer, good, very good."
"And many thanks to Mr. Gru for his teaching." Li Xi said.
"Don't say those useless things, the path of body refining sorcerer is something you have to take, I don't care about other things, as long as you can meet my requirements everything is as you wish." Gelu waved his hand, in his tone there was an additional importance and respect that was not there before.
If the previous Li Xi was just a pawn that was at the mercy of others, then now it was a pawn that saw its own destiny and had more freedom to choose its own direction.
"Thank you, Mr. Grue."
Li Xi understood Gru's meaning in a second, Gru had given him more freedom.
"Originally according to the plan you had a three to five years to fully adapt to triple gravity, then there was a change of events, which delayed it, you will now follow me to train, wait until you have fully mastered the level of strength that can be normally exerted in triple gravity, then we'll go." Gelu simply set the next training plan, then let Li Xi leave.
"I'll listen to Mr. Gelu in everything."
Because his body had just gotten rid of the poison, Li Xi, who was in the recovery period, did not have any training plan, and his current body could not accept any training plan, everything listened to Li Xi's own arrangements, and only when his body was back to normal could he start the next training.
The healing rune array operated around the clock, healing every detail of his body's injuries.
After ten years of testing countless poisons on his body, his body had long been greatly damaged, and there was even a lot of toxicity deposited in his bloodline that could not be dispersed.
Even if the power of the healing rune array washed the body over and over again, the deepest level of toxicity still could not be dispersed.
This was the price Li Xi had paid, and it was also Li Xi's main task at the moment - restoring his body!
