As usual, the Bat's Eye Clinic seemed a little deserted.
The clinic charges relatively high fees, and the patients are mainly wealthier civilians, such as mercenaries, and a small number of nobles. The majority of the poor at the bottom of the society rarely come.
After curing a patient, the clinic returned to peace again.
"Mr. Orr, I would like you to teach me how to make potions." Ivan suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Jiushi looked at him in surprise, then she thought of something and revealed a barely perceptible smile, thinking that something interesting was about to happen.
Old Orr didn't answer, obviously unhappy.
After spending some time with Old Orr, Ivan had a general idea of Old Orr's character, and this time he chose to get straight to the point.
"Here is a general breathing prescription. I hope it satisfies you."
He directly handed over his chips, which were the formula of the water vortex potion given to him by his father.
This is a good idea. Jiushiti's face changed slightly and she watched the development of the situation closely.
Old Orr took it and glanced at it, his eyes fixed on the parchment for a long time, so that the two people next to him did not dare to disturb him. Jiusiti consciously took a step back and wisely did not glance at the prescription.
Ivan suppressed his inner anxiety and waited.
After a while, Old Orr's voice sounded: "Tell me, which potions do you think might replace water vortex and barberry?" His eyes were still on the prescription.
Here it comes. Ivan knew that this question was the key, so he didn't rush to answer.
[Pharmacy: lv1(6/100)]
[Knight's Breathing: lv0(9/10)]
[Linguistics: lv0(1/10)]
A panel appeared in his eyes that others could not see. His pharmacy skills had improved a lot during this period, thanks to the reading of volumes 1, 2 and 3 of "Detailed Record of Medicinal Materials". However, his progress stopped there because Old Orr did not give him other books and had no intention of teaching him further.
Ivan could fully understand this. After all, Old Orr had only lost a drinking contest, and he had done his best by being willing to teach him so much.
'Well, let's give it a try.'
He pondered for a moment, bit his back teeth secretly, and used the light of wisdom gained from upgrading his alchemy skills by one level.
In an instant, he felt his mind was exceptionally clear and agile. All the medicinal materials he had memorized in the past appeared clearly in his mind. They were so profound that he knew all the medicinal effects, hidden properties, and things to avoid.
The possible effects of different combinations of medicinal materials also sparked sparks one by one, and my thoughts seemed to have no boundaries.
This is the effect of the light of wisdom, which increases understanding and spirituality by 3 times.
Thinking that there were only 2 minutes left, Ivan quickly gathered his other thoughts and began to think about the medicinal materials and refining process of the water vortex potion. Combining the knowledge of medicinal materials he had learned, he tried to find a combination that could replace the water vortex flower and the barberry grass.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the clinic seemed particularly solemn.
Jiusiti looked at Ivan who was lost in thought, feeling a little resentful and expectant. After two or three minutes, she heard Ivan sigh inexplicably, as if he was reluctant and regretful.
"You can consider using silverfish flower and radix spatholobi."
"Or instead of using the barley grass, use water wheat algae fruit, and maybe add a little ripple stone powder."
"You can try using olives, black spider flowers, and the gland fluid of the sword-wielding spider to see the effect. Maybe you will get some inspiration."
The prescription is a whole. If one part of the prescription is changed, the whole body will be affected. If the main ingredient is replaced, other ingredients must be changed. Ivan gave three answers in succession, all of which are possible replacement combinations.
After saying this, he looked at Old Orr expectantly.
Old Orr raised his head and nodded slightly: "Not bad." After that, he put the prescription away.
It's done!
Ivan's eyes lit up and he couldn't suppress a smile.
Seeing this, Jiushiti curled her lips.
In fact, she didn't feel so resentful at the moment. From Ivan's fantastic answer just now, she could sense Ivan's talent and ability, and she had to admit that she was inferior to him.
Secondly, she knew how to become a disciple.
The next morning, Old Orr called Ivan into the alchemy room.
"Bang."
Under Jiushiti's eager gaze, the door closed tightly, blocking her out.
"Ah——asshole!"
Jiushiti felt jealous, since she was the one who came first.

In the alchemy room, Old Orr taught Ivan in detail how to process medicinal materials and how to make simple potions such as disinfectant and hemostatic powder, allowing Ivan to experience the feeling of a spiral increase in experience points.
After one morning, his pharmacy experience points increased by 3 points, while it would take him at least two or three days to increase one point when he studied on his own.
Ivan secretly praised, this is the difference between learning by stealing and learning the real thing, the gap is really huge.
From that day on, Ivan became old Orr's real pharmacy apprentice.
This stimulated Jiushiti. She had been looking for a way to find a secret breathing medicine recipe like Ivan, so that she could truly become old Or's disciple.
…
More than a month later.
In the training ground of Kasha Sword Art School, two young men were fighting with swords in a corner.
"drink."
At this time, Donnie let out a low roar, gathered all his strength into a sword, and slashed forward again.
"Well done." Facing such an attack, Ivan was not afraid. He took a sword step forward, and the Quillen sword in his hand lightly hit the weak point of the opposite iron sword, blocking the attack of the iron sword.
Ivan took a half step back and blocked the sword attack steadily.
Donnie drew his sword and stood up: "No more fighting, no more fighting, my swordsmanship is not as good as yours."
He failed to defeat Ivan again, which made him feel helpless. He was obviously superior to his opponent in strength and speed, but was defeated by the opponent's swordsmanship, and the two could only end in a draw.
Ivan was also somewhat dissatisfied: "Swordsmanship is just an external method, breathing techniques are the foundation."
Strength: 1.5, Agility 1.3, Constitution: 1.1, Spirit: 1.4
Over the past month, he has worked hard all the time, and his strength has increased by 0.2, while his agility and constitution have only increased by 0.1. This progress is really hard for him to be satisfied with.
Donnie is different. He bought the rushing potion twice, and his actual strength is higher than his, so he can only use swordsmanship to make up for his combat power and barely maintain an undefeated situation.
Speaking of swordsmanship, he had to mention the last time the Knight's Breathing Skills were upgraded to level 1.
The little light of wisdom that time brought many benefits. In addition to a deeper understanding of breathing techniques, it also gave him some insights into basic swordsmanship, horsemanship, and archery. The latter seemed to be a subsidiary of the former, and he reviewed them in depth together.
After he had mastered the basic sword skills, he successively learned the Running Flow Sword Skill and the Family Frog Sword Skill. He made remarkable progress in sword skills and surpassed Donny by a large margin.
Unfortunately, basic breathing method is basic breathing method. No matter how deeply you understand it, it cannot change its inherent limitations and its efficiency is still low.
Donnie said, "I'm going to buy the last of the Flowing Potion. Are you coming?"
"Together."
Ivan thought about it carefully, and then decided to agree, thinking of the gold coins he had just earned.
Donnie smiled and patted his shoulder: "That's right, spend the gold coins on potions, and you can earn more gold coins after improving your strength, and gold coins make gold coins."
The two of them walked into the inner hall of the swordplay hall together, and when they came out, each of them had an extra small bottle of rushing potion.
"I have to go to the central library. See you later."
"What are you going there for? The fees there are not cheap."
"I have my own plans."
Under Donny's puzzled gaze, Ivan walked towards the west of Flying Fish Harbor. He needed to upgrade his linguistics to level 1 in order to gain more wisdom, which would be of great use to him.
