What era is it, still traditional card making

Chapter 470 Potion Completion
Ye Qiong looked at the dark green potion in his hand, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face.

The low-grade disguise potion is only qualified.

During the refining process just now, he still made some mistakes, resulting in the level of the refining potion not being high, only low-grade.

He and Apponias each used two potions, and there was only one ingredient left to make the disguise potion.

Apponias refined it twice, once at a medium level and once at a perfect level. His level in pharmacy was undoubtedly higher than his.

He took the last ingredient for the disguise potion and asked:
"How many ingredients are there for the transmogrification potion?"

"Six."

"You go ahead and refine the transfiguration potion. I only need two bottles of high-grade or above transfiguration potion. If there are any remaining materials, leave them to me to practice."

He has a clear understanding of his level. It is so difficult to refine a two-level disguise potion, let alone a top-level transfiguration potion.

If all six materials were given to him, it would be good to be able to refine a bottle of medium-grade or above transfiguration potion.

Therefore, he chose to leave the work of refining the transfiguration potion in the hands of Apponias. With her ability, it was not difficult to refine two bottles of high-quality transfiguration potion.

She nodded without hesitation and replied:
"Understood, Lord Gatherer."

After saying that, the next round of refining began.

Ye Qiong first took the smooth-skinned toad skin into his hands and began to refine the initial steps of the disguise potion.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Fred looked at the two people working in the room. He was so shocked that he was speechless. So why did that son of a bitch George force Calvis to be on the opposite side of the empire?
The better Calvis performed, the more heartbroken he felt. Originally, this was a talent who was loyal to the empire. What kind of medicine did George take wrongly to send such talent to the execution rack?

Fred just remained silent and focused on Calvis. He had a hunch that this time Calvis would be able to refine a high-grade disguise potion.

Now Calvis is becoming more and more skilled in refining potions. After the first two refinings, he wrote something on the original formula, probably to complete the missing parts of the formula.

After experiencing two failures, this time he summed up his experience and no longer made those small mistakes that would cause the materials to lose their medicinal properties.

The whole process seemed smooth and smooth. If an uninformed magician were to watch, he would definitely think that he was an expert in refining disguise potions.

With this kind of performance, it is hard to imagine that he is just a newcomer who has just studied pharmacy for less than a day.

Half an hour passed.

Ye Qiong's third bottle of disguise potion was released. It was a top-grade disguise potion.

Although it has not yet reached the perfect level, Ye Qiong is still satisfied. At least it proves that his direction is not wrong, and he is making progress every time.

If he could be given the fourth material and combined with the experience of the previous three times, it would not be a problem to refine a perfect level of disguise potion.

Looking towards Apponias, the work in her hands was almost finished.

Pour the potion from the magic furnace into the transparent potion bottle. Just by looking at its color and taste, you can tell that Apponias's refining was successful this time.

It was a pity that the quality did not satisfy her. It was just a low-grade phantom potion that only lasted for an hour. There might even be accidents during the effect of the medicine, causing animal ears to grow while the medicine was still taking effect. , scales and other side effects. Overall, this bottle of potion does not have much value.

However, with a failed experience, the next refining will not be as difficult as before.

Apponias casually put the low-grade transfiguration potion aside and started the next refining.

It can only be said that she is worthy of a goddess-level existence, and her learning speed is truly astonishing.

Although he was just a spectator, Ye Qiong could learn a lot from watching Apponias's actions.

Her methods of refining potions are not all derived from the methods commonly used by magicians that she learned from pharmacy books. Instead, she combines the refining methods of alchemists and magicians to create a unique refining method. Preparation method.

We can see both the innovation of magicians and the rigor of alchemists.

Even Maxine, who is off-screen, can't help but be attracted by this goddess's techniques.

This was unprecedented, and she had no knowledge of it. Just by looking at the smooth movements, she could understand that this "spirit" must have been immersed in the art of pharmacy for many years before she was alive.

Without rich experience, the refining process would never be so skillful.

She carefully recalled the pharmacy master she knew, but she couldn't match up with the woman in front of her.

If she existed before the Dark Crusade, her "spirit" shouldn't be able to survive for many years.

At this moment, she wanted to know who this "spirit" was during his lifetime.

Unknowingly, the refining of the second bottle of transfiguration potion was nearing completion. With an incomplete formula, Apponias had successfully refined a bottle of top-grade potion in just the second refining. Transformation potion.

This time, the expression on her face was not one of disappointment.

After handing the second bottle of disguise potion to Ye Qiong, he started the third refining.

Ye Qiong also learned a lot during this refining process.

For example, the recipe for Firefly Dream Powder is not spelled out in detail, so it may be taken for granted that everyone knows how to do it.

After all, you already know how to refine third-level transfiguration potions. There is no reason why you don’t even know the most basic method of handling Firefly Dream Demon Powder.

But in fact, the two people in charge of refining in the room really don't know.

Ye Qiong was also able to use the ability to understand the essence provided by "Witch's Preference" and through experiments again and again to find a way to deal with the Yinghua Dream Demon Powder.

But how did Apponias do it?

What she did was very simple. She used her fine control over magic power to penetrate into the Firefly Dream Demon Powder, and used the alchemist's ability to decompose it to explore its essence and find the part she needed. , delete them all.

This is the decomposition and extraction technique commonly used by alchemists. Apponias is using his understanding of potions to skip the tedious process of Firefly Dream Powder.

When it comes to so-called illusion potions, aren't the two words "illusion" and "transformation" that need to be paid attention to the most?

The medicinal materials required for refining are also related to these two types of elements.

Firefly Dream Powder contains hallucinogenic elements, obscure mental toxins, as well as some residual magic power and other impurities from Firefly Dream Demon.Except for the hallucinogenic elements, which are required for the transfiguration potion, all other elements are unnecessary. The purpose of processing is to remove these unnecessary elements.

Apponias' approach was more direct, skipping the processing process, and relying on his ability to decompose and reconstruct, he only retained the hallucinogenic elements he needed in the Firefly Dream Powder.

This method is unbelievable. Even Maxine was shocked by such methods.

In addition to Firefly Dream Demon Powder, Aponias also used similar processing methods for other materials. She relied on her own understanding of medicinal materials and her outstanding ability to forcefully use the incomplete formula to create a product. A perfect bottle of magic potion.

In just the third refining process, Apponias had already refined a third-order perfect potion.

Ye Qiong, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help but feel a little amazed. Should he be said to be a goddess-level existence?It is indeed a skill.

After receiving the potion that was handed over, Ye Qiong measured it carefully. The color and taste were indeed qualitatively different from the two bottles of illusion potion that were previously refined.

The effect of this perfect transmutation potion lasts for a full day, and there is no need to worry about side effects.

By this stage Apponias's work was done.

A bottle of top grade plus a bottle of perfect grade transmogrification potion is completely enough.

Ye Qiong plans to try the remaining three materials himself.

He does not have the strong control over magic power like Apponias, nor does he know how to use the alchemist's decomposition and extraction method. He can only rely on his own understanding to process the medicinal materials in his hand.

The first refining was not considered a success. Although it did not reach the point of exploding the furnace, smelling the stench from the magic furnace, Ye Qiong understood that his first attempt was undoubtedly a failure.

It is still somewhat difficult to refine a complete potion from an incomplete formula.

However, this failure also made Ye Qiong understand where his problem lies.

The medicinal properties of the transformed grass snake gallbladder and the firefly dream demon powder conflicted.

Both types of medicinal materials contain toxins. Previously, Apponias decomposed and extracted the toxins contained in the two types of medicinal materials in advance, thus avoiding the conflict between the two materials.

But at this stage, he can't do it at all like Apponias. His control over magic power is not very precise. Even if he uses the separation method, there will always be toxins left. Even if it is completely removed, what will happen to the remaining impurities? Woolen cloth?

If there are impurities left, the result will be the same. Even if the refining is successful by luck, the potion grade will probably only be low-grade or higher.

During the first refining process, he discovered this problem and thought about how other magicians avoided the conflict between these two types of medicinal materials.

Removing impurities is undoubtedly necessary, but the question is, how to do it?
He did not start the second refining, but fell into thinking.

Seeing this, Apponias next to him asked:

"Do you need my help with the medicinal materials?"

Ye Qiong shook his head and replied:

"No, I can't ask you to help me deal with it every time."

Then he was thinking about the difference between the separation method and the decomposition and extraction method used by Apponias.

The former is extremely rough and can only roughly remove unnecessary impurities.

The latter is more precise and direct, expelling all the medicinal materials except the elements that it needs.

There is no doubt that the effect of the decomposition and extraction method is far beyond that of the separation method. At the same time, Ye Qiong also realized that there are similarities between the two, that is, elimination, eliminating the things that he does not need from the medicinal materials themselves. .

He was thinking, why does both the decomposition and extraction method and the separation method emphasize elimination rather than extraction?

The "transformation" element in the transfiguration grass snake gallbladder is what he needs in refining the transfiguration potion.

The "hallucinogenic" element of Firefly Dream Powder is also the element he needs to use in refining the illusion potion.

So can he directly extract these two types of elements and use them in potions?
This type of method does not require high control over magic power. He can directly ignore other impurities and go straight to the required elements. There is no need to be cautious, fearing that destroying the medicinal materials will cause the loss of medicinal properties.

Thinking of this, he took decisive action. This approach would lead to a higher cost of materials required for refining the potion. He planned to use the remaining two materials as one.

First, he transformed into grass snake gallbladder. He injected his own magic power into it, chanted incantations, used separation methods, and felt the various elements contained in the medicinal materials. Finally, he found the "transformation element" he needed.

Manipulate the magic power to wrap these elements and then extract them.

His right hand had already prepared a transparent glass bottle, and the required part turned into ink-black juice and flowed into the bottle.

This approach was undoubtedly extremely luxurious, and he realized the drawbacks of this extraction method when he first tried it.

It's okay to use low-end medicinal materials, but if it is used for high-end medicinal materials, it will appear extremely extravagant and wasteful. No magician would do this.

No wonder this alternative use of separation is not mentioned in the book. This is the original reason.

This kind of shortcut method is indeed detrimental to the growth of a magician. After Ye Qiong realized this, he did not give up this method completely. Maybe there is room for improvement.

After extracting the two medicinal materials, Ye Qiong started the second refining.

This time it was undoubtedly much smoother than before, and there was no poisonous stench coming from the magic furnace.

Ye Qiong's refining technique is not very good, but it is extremely standardized. Everything is just as the formula says.

About half an hour later, the second bottle of transfiguration potion he refined was officially released.

Its color and taste are much worse than the perfect bottle refined by Apponias, and it is barely above the level.

But even so, Ye Qiong is very satisfied. This is a third-level potion. It is already good to be able to refine the higher-level medicine in the second time. You can't ask too much.

Maxine, who had watched the entire process, had a much calmer expression on her face. She was not as shocked as before, as if she was a supporting character responsible for setting off the protagonist.

She is more silent.

It seems that she refined the third-level potion by herself after the second year of studying potion. At that time, she refined a bottle of high-grade Crazy Heart Potion. At that time, her teacher even praised her for her genius.

But now it seems that she is still far from a true genius.
