"Ahem, the silverfish flower looks like silk in the water, but it has such a strong odor. You can't judge a flower by its appearance. Ahem, it seems I need to ask Padge to sew a few masks for me."
"The side effects of the water wheat algae fruit are not small and difficult to reconcile, so it is temporarily shelved."
"Water olives are also scarce, and their situation is similar to that of the original balsamic weeds. They can only be used as a backup."
"——"
In the following days, Ivan immersed himself in exploring the various medicinal ingredients of the water vortex potion, trying to find substitutes to form a new water vortex potion.
It just so happened that Biman and a few others were at home, so he could ask Biman to help him buy various medicinal herbs. The price was a little higher, but it was convenient.
[Pharmacy EXP +1]
[Pharmacy EXP +1]
[——]
Another reason why Ivan was intoxicated was the EXP. As he delved deeper into the medicinal properties of various herbs, his EXP increased exceptionally quickly, opening the door to a new world for him.
It turns out that this is a good way to improve pharmacy. It only requires exploring the hidden medicinal properties of herbs, as well as exploring the medicinal properties of unknown herbs.
This made him feel inexplicably excited.
"Forget it, seek help."
Soon, after he explored the medicinal properties of many herbs, he fell into another state of confusion. He didn't know how to choose and go further, so he immediately used the level 1 light of wisdom.
During these two minutes, his thoughts became exceptionally clear and agile, and his inspiration sparked sparks, allowing him to find a direction in the vast sea of medicinal herbs.
"Let me think about it. Maybe I can consider the Fish Swallowing Algae Fruit. Although it contains toxins, it is not impossible to suppress them. It can be used to replace the Water Vortex Flower. As for the subsequent refining problems, we can solve them step by step."
"Seahorse gourd, and seahorse gourd, maybe they can be used."
In the alchemy room, Ivan muttered to himself, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
After a few minutes, he gathered all his thoughts and wrote down his ideas one by one.
He was not in a hurry to change direction. It was undoubtedly unwise to make a decision on impulse, so he had to take it slow.
After coming out of the alchemy room, Ivan left home directly and walked towards the south of the city.
Kasha Swordsmanship Hall.
Ivan spent another 5 gold coins to buy a rush potion, which was his second rush potion.
"Want to try your skills?" He rarely invited Donnie.
But Donny was not in a good mood and did not agree.
Ivan asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
As for the contest between the two, Dhoni used to accept all comers.
After thinking for a while, Donnie whispered, "Another apprentice has reported the death." As he spoke, his expression was a little complicated.
Seeing his expression like this, Ivan guessed: "Is it related to your family?"
Donnie nodded slightly. The dead person was his nominal sister and also the biological sister of a kind-hearted little girl. Thinking of the little girl crying her heart out, he felt very sorry.
In just over two months, news of the death of apprentices came back one after another, which made the two men have a deeper understanding of the dangers faced by apprentices.
Back home, Ivan prepared to take the second dose of the secret medicine.
Strength: 1.8, Agility 1.4, Constitution: 1.3, Spirit: 1.4
These are his current statistics. Over the past period of time, his strength has only increased by 0.1 points. Cultivation has become increasingly difficult, which has made him more determined to research the water vortex potion.
The next morning, he poured the secret medicine into his mouth and swallowed it.
His daily life remained unchanged. He practiced breathing techniques, swordsmanship, and archery, went to the clinic to make medicine, or studied the properties of medicinal materials at home, or studied ancient Chinese.
"Wait, Beeman."
"Buying medicinal herbs again? Tell me what you want."
After returning from the clinic early, Ivan called out to his second brother Biman who was walking out.
Ivan said: "Swallow fish algae fruit and seahorse gourd, just the right amount, you know." This was not the first time he asked Biman to buy medicinal herbs.
"no problem."
Biman agreed readily. He had seen his brother's financial resources and didn't need to worry about him. He didn't care what his brother was researching.
Ivan thought of something and asked casually, "What is Paul doing? He has not been seen in the past few days."
"Him?" When mentioning Paul, Biman had some resentment and said unhappily, "Of course you can't see him. He is pursuing the daughter of that country noble, the daughter of a disgusting man."
This was big news. It was not difficult to tell from Beeman's words that the country baron was not an easy person to get along with, and even had a bad attitude. Paul would probably suffer a lot if he pursued his daughter.
Ivan frowned, and he suddenly thought of his mother.
My maternal grandfather was also a baron. Even after my mother married into the family, my grandfather still despised and looked down on the Marichatton family. Now they have cut off all contact with each other.
Paul actually wanted to repeat the same mistake.
"Didn't father stop it?"
Beeman shook his head and whispered, "He would love it."
Ivan understood that his father's greatest ambition was to lead the family back into the ranks of the nobility, and he had been seeking to establish good relations with the nobles, hoping to find a way out.
Ivan didn't know what to say about this.
Two days later.
Strength: 1.9, Agility 1.4, Constitution: 1.5, Spirit: 1.4.
The secret medicine is a secret medicine, and it is worth its price. It brings Ivan 0.1 strength and 0.2 constitution, and no other changes.
The effects of this secret medicine vary, depending on the individual's physical condition, and sometimes luck is also a factor.
Ivan was very satisfied, after all, his physical fitness unexpectedly improved by 0.2 points.
Once his strength exceeds the 2.0 scale, he will be classified as a second-class knight squire.
…
Also in the east district of the city, in another house.
"Are you okay?"
"Well, that bastard actually dared to use despicable means, I will never let him off."
Facing Benson's questioning, Roseside's face was ferocious. He would never forget the humiliation of that day, and it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart without revenge.
Benson frowned and said, "Even if he attacked you by surprise, you can't be completely powerless to fight back."
"I told you, he poured a very poisonous powder into my eyes—" Roseside explained, speaking with a little more rationality, "You are right, his strength is improving very quickly, and he should be not much worse than you and me."
"You know, he's a fool. He's probably taken a lot of secret breathing drugs."
"Since he dared to attack me, he will definitely not let you go. We must strike first and teach him a profound lesson to suppress his arrogance."
These days, Roseside has been recovering from his injuries. For a knight's squire, the injury is not serious, but the humiliation of having his head stepped on hurts his heart even more, making him unable to sleep or eat.
After a moment's silence, Benson nodded heavily: "I agree. We must find a good opportunity to teach him a more unforgettable lesson."
Since the two sides have become enemies, it is natural for one side to defeat the other.
In the city of Feiyugang, unless it is in the north district of the city, it is definitely not convenient to take drastic measures when there are people coming and going, so you need to find a suitable opportunity.
Rosaid echoed: "Yes, teach him a lesson he will never forget."
He decided that he must break Ivan's legs to wash away his shame.
