Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 21 The second round begins

Early the next morning, the doorbell rang.

Li Daoxian rubbed his head.

Before dawn, there were visitors in Tianzhi Pavilion.

Li Daoxian opened the door, and Catherine arrived as promised.

"Good morning, Mr. Number One." Catherine said happily with a smile, "I'm really sorry if it disturbed your sleep time."

Sound unapologetic.

Li Daoxian replied with a smile: "Don't be sorry. Compared to you who simply lost three games to me, you helped me demonstrate the essence condensation method three times. Daoxian is very grateful."

Do you want to hear what you are saying?
  Catherine's almond-shaped eyes widened as her guard was broken by a word.

Before she could speak, Li Daoxian turned around and said, "Please come in, what do you want to drink?"

Hearing this sentence, Catherine subconsciously asked: "What are they?"

"Just crazy wort and water."

"Then Crazy Wort!"

Li Daoxian took two cups and placed them on the coffee table in the living room.

Catherine lay down on the sofa, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and then looking at the environment of Tianzhi Pavilion. She marveled: "This place is completely different from the contestants' dormitory."

Li Daoxian took a sip of the crazy wort and said, "The instructor said last time that the ones here are built according to the standards of top small laboratories."

"The actual feeling and the verbal description are completely different feelings."

Catherine also stood up and tasted the crazy wort. Her eyes widened and she said with surprise: "Hey? It tastes good! Is this from a restaurant on the third or fourth floor? It's completely different."

Li Dao showed a matter-of-fact expression: "I tasted their crazy wort last time at the Star Boundary Restaurant. It tasted very good. I tried it myself when I came back."

"It's strange. I've been to the 'Bright Star Boundary' too, but I always felt that the taste wasn't as good as this one..." Catherine muttered in a low voice.

However, this sentence reminded Catherine.

She asked curiously: "By the way, what was the mysterious reward last time? Was it your secret technique to speed up the reaction of potions? Was it taught by Master Gordon?"

Li Daoxian nodded: "Well, Teacher Gordon taught me a lot. He is indeed a kind and gentle elder."

Catherine took another sip of Crazy Wort, rolled her eyes, and silently thought: I really hope that after seeing you screw up the potion, Gordon can "gently" comment so sharply that it makes you want to cry.

Although Catherine was not scolded by Gordon, she witnessed Gordon's sharp words. Moreover, many netizens have made Gordon's "get out" emoticon package and circulated it on the Magic Net.

"I always feel like you are thinking about something rude..." Li Daoxian asked, "Do you want more drinks?"

"One more cup, thank you." Catherine handed the cup over. Li Daoxian seemed to be quite a gentleman.

Li Daoxian followed the good example and neatly added the crazy wort, placed it in front of Catherine, and asked: "Is there anything else you need?"

Catherine thought for a while: "No more."

"If not..." Li Daoxian looked at Catherine eagerly, "Can we start the demonstration now?"

"Uh... are you so eager because you want to demonstrate quickly?"

"Of course not." Li Daoxian denied. "I'm just asking."

No, you are!
  Catherine added in her mind, got up and came to the laboratory with Li Daoxian.

Catherine is envious again!
  There is an independent operation room in Tianzhi Pavilion, which is far more convenient than the shared operation room on the eleventh floor...

"Hey, what are you cooking?"

Catherine looked at the potion solution being heated at a constant temperature in the brewing room with some curiosity. In her memory, she could not find any intermediate state of the potion. It was the color and taste in front of her: "Is this a homemade potion again?"

Li Daoxian didn't want to say anything more. He simply said "hmm" and took Catherine to the console on the other side.

"Please start your show!"

Although it sounded weird, Catherine still brewed the potion as promised.

Three times in total, each time using different materials.

In the end, different potions were made, with varying degrees of difficulty.

Judging from this point alone, Catherine did indeed abide by the agreement sincerely.

It is precisely because of the comparison of three close refining processes that Li Daoxian observed and found:
  Although on the surface, Catherine's beast-type essence condensation method uses the animal nature of different beast raw materials to devour the main raw materials, and eventually eliminate each other for promotion.

But in essence, it is a process of distinguishing the characteristics of the main material based on the auxiliary beast materials and then reintegrating them.

The main purpose of this process is to weaken the unnecessary characteristics while maintaining the original concept of "integration". It is essentially a reorganization of the main materials.

What plays a key role in this is also a special aura.

After figuring this out, Li Daoxian also turned off knowledge absorption.

At the same time, a [complete clue to the Condensation Method] also fell into his system along with the prompt.

Catherine waved her hand at this time, used magic to clean up the operating table, and asked: "You want to secretly learn the essence condensation method from me, right?"

Li Daoxian admitted frankly: "It is indeed true."

Catherine sat on the operating table, shaking her legs, and said: "It's difficult for you to learn secretly... Have you ever thought about why there is a potion faction? It was because it was too difficult to get started. Each potion school has tried its best to train them from an early age and provide various ritual assistance to slightly increase the probability of entry..."

Catherine looked at Li Daoxian and suddenly asked another question: "Do you know 'Law'?"

Ritsu... of course knows.

If a wizard apprentice is promoted to a formal wizard, the key is to know oneself and touch the soul.

So the key for a wizard to advance to a high-level wizard is to explore the "law" that is consistent with his own knowledge and understand it.

Cognition is like a container and magic is like water.

Water will rise as the container expands.

This improvement in cognition is the cognition of “law”.

All magic is a process of touching "laws". The process of observing, recognizing, simulating, and mastering changes in magic is called "laws."

In principle, the laws mastered by high-level wizards are enough to make a qualitative leap in their related magic.

The law of simultaneity is also the key to weaving rules.

Think of this...

Li Daoxian looked at Catherine.

I see……

Catherine laughed and nodded, with small dimples appearing on both sides of her cheeks, confirming Li Daoxian's idea: "The secret of potions is the expression of 'law'. As for the reason why I have been able to use the essence condensation method since I was a child... …”

"It's the natural law within my body."

Exactly.

The aura induced by the secret technique is indeed the aura of rules, but to be more precise, it refers to the law derived from the rules.

Li Daoxian recalled the precious insight he had at the Star Boundary Restaurant.

No wonder, no wonder Instructor Gordon said before the demonstration that even if you don't understand it, it can be of great help to the subsequent study of secret techniques.

The biggest gain that night was the insight from that astral journey, which gave me the qualification to understand the law.

Looking at Li Daoxian's thoughtful eyes, Catherine reminded:
  "besides……"

"Even if you have superior understanding and are lucky enough to understand the secret technique, without the permission of the sect, if you use it privately, you will not only face huge risks, but you will also be chased by the sect."

Li Daoxian nodded, indicating that he understood the situation. He was also prepared: "I have thought that as long as I can join a school, whether it is the classical alchemy school of Master Gordon or the natural harmony school of Master Xue Qian, I will have the opportunity to become a participant in the 'Ring' project. "

"Once you obtain this quota, you can obtain study qualifications from all denominations and have all permissions."

Catherine shook her head and expressed that she was not optimistic: "I don't know where you got it from. It's just...it's not that easy to participate in the 'Ring' project. People from the older generation are still queuing up, and people from the younger generation are still queuing up." There is no hope in the short term.”

Li Daoxian did not argue and smiled: "There is a second preparation. If it fails, you can also consider joining the War Department of the Wizards Association. The War Department has the highest authority. Naturally, no one will trouble me."

"Are you crazy?" Catherine was a little confused. "You said yesterday that you don't like fighting, and you refused to even discuss with me. Are you going to join the conquest army? Do you know what the death rate is?"

"Of course not right away. At least you have to have enough strength before you consider it."

"It's up to you~ However, I think you'd better think about it more. The deal is over, and it's time for me to leave."

Catherine stood up, moved her body, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, bring me some Crazy Wort."

"Go and pack it yourself. It's in the oak barrel over there."

Catherine said happily: "Ah ha, then I'm welcome."

After bidding farewell to Catherine, Li Daoxian looked at his few remaining points of genius.

"Ah, the accumulation of genius points is still too slow."

It takes 500 points to draw the second card...

Opening the second card slot requires 500 points...

Some system functions should also be reserved for use...

The [Complete Essence Condensation Method Clues] just obtained also require 500 points to use...

There are gold-eating beasts everywhere that are in urgent need of "funding" injections and waiting to be fed.

Fortunately, with the broadcast of "Potion Master", Lee Do-hyun's number of fans has steadily increased, and his weekly income from genius points has also increased a lot.

The beginning of the series "Becoming a Potion Master in One Episode" that I previously released also received an enthusiastic response.

Viewers in the comment section were deeply polarized.

Many people praise and support themselves, thinking that this method is more error-tolerant and more effective.

However, many people also question that this adjustment will affect the easy-to-understand features of the original textbooks. Blindly pursuing this method can easily fall into the embarrassing situation of knowing what is happening but not knowing why.

Controversial?
  It's okay to be controversial.

In the following week, Li Daoxian had a very fulfilling life:
  I am immersed in learning every day, and tutors sometimes come to visit the class to teach.

Lee Do-hyun also took this opportunity to update the second episode of "Becoming a Potion Master: Brewing the Fresh Potion"...

My own patent for "Memory Potion" has also been issued, and my first paying customer is Tutor Maggie...

When studying regularly, time always flies by, and it always feels like nothing has been done. A week has passed like this.

soon.

It's game day again.

Nowadays, "Potion Master" has successfully broken through the industry, and its popularity remains high. Many wizards whose knowledge of potions is only at the compulsory education level are also watching it with gusto.

As soon as the show started, a large number of viewers poured into the live broadcast room, and the barrage quickly became popular.

"I'm coming!"

"Does Gordon curse today? I like it and want to hear it."

"Maggie's mentor support group sincerely invites all gentlemen to join. Joining the group will provide you with bonus comics..."

“Tell us more about welfare comics!”

"You people, where is the morality? Where is the bottom line? Where is the way to join the group?"

……

What is different from the past is that the gathering place for the players today is not in the operation room on the second floor, but in the lobby on the first floor!
  When the contestants arrived, they saw the magic bus parked at the door.

"Perhaps we are going out this time?" some contestants speculated.

While talking.

The instructors walked in from the main entrance with smiles on their faces.

Gordon was the first to speak: "Hi, everyone, good morning. I hope you are in good condition today."

He waved his hand, and two familiar stands appeared, holding red and blue badges respectively.

"As you can see, it is another team match, divided into red and blue teams. The losing side will fall into the knockout round. I believe that after what happened last time, no one wants to fall into the knockout round, right?"

The players take it seriously.

Especially George, who nodded vigorously.

Gordon stretched out his hand to George and said with a smile: "Player George obviously agrees."

The players burst into laughter.

All this is because after the last time, George published an interview that lasted for fifteen minutes, and he finally finished it:
  "I was relieved that I was not eliminated, but I also realized that I had to perform well enough to avoid falling into the last place again. The feeling of just missing the elimination was too uncomfortable. As long as I stood on Once you have been on a high platform and experienced the feeling of overlooking, no one wants to fail..."

The director cut this section into an Easter egg chapter, and the ratings turned out to be pretty good.

Some people jokingly call it the most successful "failure speech".

Gordon got back to business: "Anyway, let's group up first. Maggie, today is your proposal. What are your plans?"

Maggie looked at the team and said casually: "Today, according to the order in which you are currently arranged, separate from the middle. Hu Lun will use the left as the red side, and Lizerota will use the right as the blue side. Please pin on the badges of the corresponding colors. .”

The contestants got badges of corresponding colors and pinned them on themselves.

Gordon waited until everyone had sorted themselves out and said, "Now everyone, look at the people around you. Because your future in the game is in the hands of these people."

The players looked at each other, some were happy and some were worried.

The lineups for both sides are as follows:
  Red side: Lee Daoxian, Catherine, Joffrey, Damia, Miles, Fanny, Myrna, George, Dodge.

Blue side: Yuan Hua, Hu Lun, Imogen, Alfalak, Tian Junlong, Lizerota, Gabo, Zuma, Antonis.

As soon as the lineup came out, some people were happy and some were worried.

George laughed loudly: "Sure! With our lineup, even a leashed dog can win!"

In sharp contrast to the players on the red side, the atmosphere for the players on the blue side was much more depressing.

Xue Qian looked at the atmosphere on both sides and frowned: "If you think you are inferior to others, then there is no need to compare. It may be better to give up as soon as possible and look for other development."

The players looked stern and quickly started to manage their expressions.

Maggie smiled and comforted: "The grouping is like this. Even if you are dissatisfied, there is nothing you can do. Thinking on the bright side, if you fail, the opponents in the knockout round will not be very strong. This can be regarded as a kind of Good news."

The players have a black line.

Well done, don't do it next time.

Gordon attracted everyone's attention by speaking: "Next we need to choose a captain, but before choosing a captain, we need to explain the venue of today's competition."

He looked around, watching the players looking at him, and continued: "Today we will go to a famous magical hospital for injuries and illnesses. I must tell you that this hospital is Selena's signature."

At this point, some of the contestants below were suddenly enlightened and looked excited.

Xue Qian looked at Maggie: "It seems that someone has guessed the answer to the riddle."

Maggie stopped showing off and said to the contestants with a bit of pride: "I happen to be very familiar with this hospital, because the hospital we are going to is the hospital I founded: Santa Maria Minerva."
