A cool breeze was blowing outside.
Walking on the wide road, Athir quickly came to another area.
This is the college's experimental area, which contains many open laboratories that apprentices can use directly.
He walked casually into one of the laboratories, and with a bang, Athir closed the door and walked in.
In the academy, there are also great differences among laboratories. The laboratory that Athir entered was the most basic one. Although it was free, it only had some basic equipment, but it was still relatively clean.
"Let's get started."
After gently tidying up the things around him, Athir placed the equipment on the table in front of him and began his work.
"To make a medicine, the first step is to prepare the medicinal materials."
He talked to himself as he moved.
In the package, there were many small boxes containing many purchased materials.
On the test bench, Athir opened the first box and took out the materials inside.
It was a dried black fruit, about the size of an eyeball, and its surface had begun to crack.
"Well, although the quality is not good, it is still usable."
Holding a few black dried fruits in his right hand, Athir observed them and came to this conclusion.
He crushed the fruits directly in a container beside him, then added some medicine and put them in the groove for steaming.
During this process, Athir sensed extremely weak fluctuations.
It was the familiar energy particles blooming in the material, being released, and being sensed by him.
His heart moved, and a powerful spirit was gathering, pulling the familiar energy particles around him, gathering them in the evaporated medicinal materials, and producing some unique reaction with them.
During this process, in order to prevent problems with the medicinal materials, Atier had to concentrate and carefully sense the changes in the materials to avoid mistakes in the final result.
After processing this kind of medicinal material, Atier put away the black paste he obtained at the end, put it aside to cool, and then started to process the next material.
"Nalan fruit, Enger grass, magic lizard tail..."
Various materials are processed quickly in his hands, and the processing methods for different materials may not be the same. As long as one point is not done well, the material may not meet the requirements in the end.
In the wizard's field, healing potion is just one of the primary potions. It only requires seven or eight kinds of materials, which is not a lot, and all of them can be processed in just a few hours.
"There are nine materials left."
An hour later, standing in front of the test bench and looking at the processed materials in front of him, Atier was certain in his heart.
Because it was his first time to process the materials, he made some mistakes and lost some materials. Originally, there were ten materials for making healing potions, but now there were only nine.
However, this result was within his acceptable range.
Looking at the processed materials in front of him, Athir took a deep breath: "Next, it's the formal refining process."
For pharmacists, brewing medicine is the most difficult process. No matter how proficient the knowledge is, it is useless if you cannot brew the corresponding medicine in the end.
For wizards who study alchemy, the demanding success rate of refining potions is also the biggest problem. Every potion wizard who attracts attention must have failed countless times in the beginning and wasted countless resources before raising the refining rate.
"Let's get started."
With a mutter to himself, he started moving again.
He put several portions of the processed materials into the groove and began to stir and process them slowly.
There is a flame burning slowly under the groove. As the heat slowly rises to a limit, the elemental particles in the material will gradually become active and gradually diffuse out.
The properties of different materials and the elemental particles they contain will not be exactly the same, and certain changes will gradually occur during this process.
This stage is the most difficult to control during the refining process. Athir must always focus his mental power on the material, locking the elemental particles on it into the grooves, and if necessary, he must use his own mana to stimulate the medicinal properties and cause some changes in the properties of the material.
This is a very complicated process, which requires a high level of operating precision from the wizard himself and a great deal of control over his energy.
After a while, a unique smell slowly emanated from the test bench below, and the concentrated materials placed inside seemed to begin to merge and show signs of transformation.
At this time, Athir took out another material from the side, carefully poured some in, and started the next step of refining.
After more than an hour, the refining was completed.
"Failed?"
Atier looked at the light gray solid in front of him, which was obviously different from the healing potion in nature, and couldn't help but make such a judgment.
"Chip, extract the records just now and analyze the cause of the failure."
Without hesitation, he gave the order directly to the chip in his mind.
In an instant, the scene of him refining the potion reappeared in his mind, running rapidly in his mind.
"The Energe grass was placed at an incorrect time, some of the material properties have not yet completely evaporated, and the main body's traction energy particles are incorrect..."
In my mind, the mechanical sound of the chip sounded quickly.
Listening to the chip's prompts, Athir stood there feeling helpless.
Although he had anticipated this, when he actually started, it was much more difficult than he had expected.
Fortunately, with the help of the chip, even if he made a mistake during the refining process, he could find the mistake in the first time, and strengthen the image over and over again through replay, which was much better than other apprentices who could only figure it out on their own.
"Chip, turn on auxiliary mode."
After replaying the previous refining process several times, Athir gave instructions to the chip in his mind.
In an instant, a light blue fluorescence appeared in front of Athir's eyes, and a large amount of data was flowing in it.
All possible changes, temperature, material properties, energy particles and other factors that may affect the refining of the medicine, including various unexpected situations that may affect the results, were all quickly analyzed by the chip at this moment and then transmitted to Athir's mind.
Feeling this, Atier's expression remained unchanged. He quickly took out some materials from the test bench beside him and started refining again.
His movements are very steady. Due to long-term exercise, he has a strong control over his body and can easily complete various movements.
As the refining began, a large amount of data streams continued to flow in his mind, constantly monitoring the refining process to prompt Athir's next move.
"The positive energy particles are released too high, please reduce the concentration!" In my mind, the chip's prompt sound rang from time to time.
Listening to the prompts in his mind, Atier did not hesitate and immediately began to adjust his movements.
···Several hours later.
On the experimental table in front of Athir, the remaining eight materials had been consumed by him, leaving only some residues of the materials.
"Success!!"
Standing in front of the test bench, looking at the two bottles of emerald green solid placed in front of him, Athir's eyes flashed with joy: "Sure enough, in operations like potion refining that require extremely high precision, the chip has a strong auxiliary effect."
"Except for the first time, with the help of the chip, eight ingredients were used to make two healing potions. The success rate is a full one in four, which is comparable to some experienced pharmacists."
Because the operation is complicated and mistakes must not be made, the potions used by wizards often have a very low success rate. According to what Athir heard from his mentor Simora, some experienced and old-fashioned pharmacists often need five materials to refine a finished product, and their success rate is even lower than Athir's.
"A one in four chance. Once I become familiar with the refining process, the chance may even increase."
Thinking of this, Atier felt excited.
After a while, when he calmed down, he couldn't help but look at the two potions in front of the test bench.
After hesitating for a moment, Athir stretched out his right hand, pulled out the black sword hanging on his waist, and slashed it across his left arm without hesitation.
The sharp blade scratched his arm, leaving a bloody mark.
Blood was gushing out of it.
Looking at his wound, Athir took out the healing potion on the test bench, scraped some from the emerald green solid, and applied it directly to the wound on his arm.
A cool feeling surged through the wound, covering up the pain.
"High-energy radiation response detected, accelerated wound regeneration."
The mechanical sound of the chip sounded in my mind.
Under Athir's gaze, after more than ten minutes, the original wound on his arm had disappeared, and a new layer of skin had grown out. Although it was still very thin compared to the surrounding skin, it was faintly green.
"It's amazing."
Looking at this scene, Athir couldn't help but sigh.
When he first came to this world, through the analysis function of the chip, Athir also compiled a formula for a healing potion that can accelerate the healing of wounds and is very useful for mortals.
But compared to the potion in front of him, the effect of the healing potion was immediately overshadowed.
Although mortal medicines can speed up wound healing, they are impossible to heal wounds or even regenerate skin in just a dozen minutes like this.
To achieve this, only the power of a wizard can do it.
"Compared to ordinary potions, the potions used by wizards must use mental power and energy particles during the refining process to make the potions have various magical effects."
Thinking of the refining process just now, Athir sighed: "However, although the potions used by wizards are more effective, the configuration requirements are also higher. Generally, apprentices will not use these things unless they have no other choice."
"But for me, refining potions is very promising."
Standing there, he looked at the healing potion on the test bench. "For an apprentice, one potion is enough to last for a long time. One potion can be sold for five magic stones in the underground market, while ten potions of raw materials are only one magic stone. It is indeed a huge profit. No wonder so many apprentices try every means to become a pharmacist."
Thinking of the apprentices in the pharmacy course, Athir couldn't help but sigh.
