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

Chapter 7 Another reversal?

Gordon shouted: "There are only ten minutes left. You must consider drug testing and make final adjustments."

The four contestants were busy making the final touches, while Catherine was already busy waiting for the timer to finish.

Li Daoxian's spirit was tense. The stirring rod in his hand was inserted deeply into the crucible. Every time he stirred, it would be adjusted. If you stand from Li Daoxian's perspective, you can find that there is a fine magic network scattered throughout the crucible. This level of detail ,beyond imagination.

If I hadn't sorted out my memory, reconstructed my cognitive and thinking system, and controlled my consciousness, I wouldn't have been able to do this at this moment.

But it is precisely because of these conditions that gave Li Daoxian the capital to operate.

Li Daoxian's heart was beating fast, because knowing that he was almost defeated, he took the risk to modify the formula and adjust the subsequent processing.

If something unexpected happens, this pot of potion will become useless, and I will fall into the subsequent qualifying rounds. If I stick to my original plan, I can secure the second place...

From a rational point of view, the safe option is undoubtedly more cost-effective.

It's just that Li Daoxian doesn't like safe failure.

There are ways to win, but you don't dare to try, for fear that you will regret your choice later.

In the last life, I had already experienced too many regrets...

What's more, if you just go to the qualifying round, you won't necessarily be eliminated, so why should you have regrets...

Li Daoxian chose to do what he wanted.

At this moment, the color of the potion in the crucible was like flowing sunlight. The blood-red impurities in it are gradually dissolving into the potion, turning into fine bright spots.

"10, 9, 8..."

The instructors are already counting down the days.

Li Daoxian ignored the sweat and tasted it briefly with a test spoon. The taste was sweet, and a surging vitality radiated the moment it touched the tip of his tongue, opening a small piece of pure land in his mouth.

perfect.

"6, 5, 4..."

To pack the medicine, Li Daoxian used magic to activate the crucible. The medicine in the crucible was drained into different crystal bottles and divided into four bottles.

"3, 2, 1..."

Li Daoxian capped the bottle, and the instructor's last voice fell.

"Time's up, everyone stop!"

Magic flames exploded, and the countdown in front stopped at 00:00. Li Daoxian dispersed the magic and raised his hand high.

In front of him were four bottles of high-level healing potions with perfect colors.

Gordon's voice reached everyone's ears: "This time our submission order is in reverse order according to the results of the finalists, first is Key and Barros, then George, and finally Catherine and Li Daoxian."

"Key, come forward with your work."

The young man named Key walked up to the stage, placed his own potion on the judging table, and lined up the three bottles of potion in sequence.

The instructors began to test the properties of the medicine, and Gordon looked to the left: "Xue Qian, what do you think?"

Xue Qian frowned. He did not reply. Instead, he picked up the crystal bottle in front of him and tilted it slightly. You can see that the potion has obvious layers inside.

"It's completely substandard. The last time I saw such levels was a rainbow cake."

Gordon asked again: "Maggie."

Maggie sighed: "Unfortunately, it is difficult to meet the passing standards for this kind of magic potion."

After Gordon tasted the potion, he couldn't help but agree with Maggie's words. The potion has weak properties and a strengthening potion. The side effects are actually stronger than the potion: "Ky, your performance is ridiculous. You used precious materials to make it." A dose of weak poison has been administered, return to your position."

"Thank you, mentor." Brother Keyi responded in a deep voice, as depressed as a corpse.

"Next, Barros."

"Barros?"

Gordon raised his voice until he saw Burrows walking up to the judging table empty-handed.

"You didn't finish your potion. Oh my God…"

Gordon closed his eyes and touched his forehead and temples with both hands, feeling his blood rising.

Barros lowered his head, equally frustrated. He was in the audience and even wanted to leave. The scene in front of him made him pray in his heart that he would be fine with anyone at this moment, as long as it was not Barros. Unfortunately, it backfired.

"Thank you for not bringing up the semi-finished product. Go back." Xue Qian said, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.

This sentence seemed to open the air around Barros, allowing him to breathe for a moment. He ran back to his position as if fleeing. There was a potion being heated on the operating table. For a moment, Barros could not Know whether you should finish it, or what's the use if you finish it.

The game was still going on, and Xue Qian called the third person: "George, come to the front with your potion."

Bearded George came up with three potions that he carefully prepared.

"Tell me about your potion." Gordon observed the potion in front of him.

"Okay, this time I'm making a mimetic potion. I use stealth grass to increase the mimetic effect, empty stone powder to add stability, and hyacinth and evening primrose to maintain balance."

"Standard processing." Gordon nodded, "We all know that you are a herbalist. You know the processing of herbs well. When brewing, the smile on your face cannot be deceived. This is good. .”

"Thank you, tutor." There was a smile on George's face.

Xue Qian picked up his potion, unscrewed the bottle cap, took out a small piece of limb, and put it into the potion while saying: "The most important thing about a mimic potion is the simulation effect, and the second is the effective time. Quality. The higher the mimetic potion, the wider the range of mimicry it can support. The key to distinguishing the quality of a mimetic potion is whether it can support complex simulations... George."

"Yes, mentor." Bearded George raised his head and looked at Xue Qian.

"What I put in is the fangs of the Acromantula. What effect do you want?"

George answered without thinking: "Ao Ya was wrapped in the mimicking potion, and then transformed into the illusion of an Acromantula, as a sign of the effectiveness of the mimicking potion."

"Ok."

Just as George expected, the potion bottle in Xue Qian's hand changed. The potion swallowed Ao Ya, and a tiny shadow of an Acromantula appeared in the reagent bottle and gradually dissipated.

Xue Qian put the potion into the absorption tank on his right hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "The effect of the medicine is perfect, and the details are true."

While talking, Gordon and Maggie also tested it. The former added the hair of the flame rat, and the latter used the muscle tissue of the octopus.

Gordon's brows relaxed a little: "The effect of the medicine is very fast, and the mimicry process is stable. It only targets the characteristics of mimicking creatures, and it may be a little weak. Next time, you can try adding some energy elements, which will be more conducive to the characteristics of mimicking creatures. Maggie?”

"The ability to change skin color in the octopus talent is not well inherited. It should be relatively simple to analyze the medicinal materials or magic structures to be transformed. However, being able to complete such a work in two hours is overall good."

Maggie also put forward her own optimization suggestions. The three mentors all believed that this bottle of magic potion had achieved its effect, and George's heart was finally relieved.

"You passed, George, take your potion and get back to your place. Well done." Gordon said with a smile.

When George returned to his position with a glowing face, Gordon looked at the last two contestants: "Next is our highlight. One is a disciple of the purist school, and the other is the current leader who has been leading since the beginning of the show. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Catherine, present your potion!"

Catherine trotted onto the stage to present the potion, splitting three glass bottles on the stage, corresponding to each instructor.

What was inside the glass bottle was not a liquid potion, but a bright crystal. This is very unique, but it is the characteristic of the purist school. They often sublimate pure main materials and condense them into crystals. The texture on the crystal is very similar to the texture on the color-changing vine, but different and more refined.

After observing, the three instructors started tasting the potion in unison.

Catherine looked at the expressions of the three instructors, but none of them showed any change in expression and looked very calm.

"Catherine, I must say..." Instructor Gordon's expression was solemn, but as soon as he spoke, his cheerful tone could not be hidden: "It's a very beautiful condensation method. You are only twenty-two years old, you can have such a skill at this age Ability is very rare.”

Maggie also praised highly: "Some people say that the essence condensation method is the top secret method of material processing. I completely agree."

Xue Qian: "There are still some places where the processing may seem awkward. However, you are only in your twenties. This shortcoming is completely understandable. I have no problem with it."

Although this was something Catherine expected, she still felt happy after receiving praise from her instructors.

"So," Gordon asked, "what is the part of your potion that fits the theme of 'characteristics'?"

"I introduced myself using the beast-type essence condensation method. This is my characteristic and what I am best at. I like the sublimation of materials in competition. This is also the purpose of my participation in this competition. I hope that I can meet Interesting opponent!"

Catherine said firmly, with confidence on her face.

Gordon nodded: "It's very characteristic of you, and it impressed me deeply."

Xue Qian: "As far as I know, the beast-type essence condensation method has very high requirements, and it also made me remember you."

Maggie's eyes were soft: "There is no doubt that you are number one in my heart."

"Thank you teacher!"

Gordon looked at Maggie and said with a smile: "Maggie seems to be very optimistic about her? Don't forget that there is also a first-time top player."

Maggie also smiled: "I just want to say this, unless the other party also uses the secret magic potion, the degree of completion of the two is completely different."

"There may be viewers who don't know much about the secrets of potions. Let me explain a little bit."

"The potion system has been passed down from ancient times to the present. The names may vary depending on the region and era, but they have all been glorious. Different potion systems have different ideas. People with similar ideas have formed their own factions, and they have mastered the methods of their own schools. Secret technique. Just like the Catherine in front of me, she is a member of the Purist school and masters the secret technique of condensation."

"The secret technique is the result of continuous improvement based on the experience of generations of geniuses. Its lower limit is almost equal to the upper limit of ordinary potionists' operations."

Xue Qian also likes his compatriot who also has black hair and black eyes. He has a different view: "You also said that he is an ordinary potion master. Any routine is not effective for geniuses. I think player Li Daoxian, Have the opportunity."

Gordon was a little surprised, but also very interested: "I didn't expect that the tutor table has been divided into two groups, so let's take a look at Li Daoxian's works. Li Daoxian, please come on stage!"

Looking at Li Daoxian walking up, Gordon expressed his opinion: "If you rely on a complete set of high-level magic potions, there will be great risks in defending the top spot. What I am more interested in is that in the second half of the game, Cheng, actually Li Daoxian has done some special processing, otherwise according to his previous progress, it should be completed about 20 minutes ahead of schedule."

Listening to the instructor's words, Li Daoxian felt calm. This time, he tried his best.

Even if it fails, there is nothing to regret.

Catherine's operation made Li Daoxian realize more deeply that he still has a long way to go in the future. The school of potions and secret inheritance mentioned by Teacher Maggie are things that he, as an ordinary potion master, cannot have access to. .

Although "Potion Master" was the choice of my predecessor, I want to improve on the wizard path. This is the only way. Although it was the choice made by my predecessor, if it were me, I am afraid I would also participate in this program. .

The three instructors walked off the stage.

They gathered around and looked at the three bottles of magic potion on the judging table.

Color is often an intuitive reflection of the quality of a potion.

Maggie noticed something unusual at a glance: "It's different from the standard color, it's redder."

Xue Qian also noticed this: "The dragon's blood has not been removed. Now this potion is either heaven or hell, and there is no stable option. Gordon, what was the solution you thought of before?"

"You can choose to use specially treated enchanted quartz and put it into the potion, and the impurities in the dragon's blood will adhere to the crystal. This method of treatment is very difficult and the effect is very good. The biggest advantage is that it saves time."

Maggie: "Obviously the current players have different ideas than you."

"That's not important." Gordon opened the potion bottle, sniffed it gently, and then drank the potion in one gulp.

Rich vitality blooms in the body, and the characteristics of phoenix feathers are brought to the extreme. The concept of regeneration that fills the body is one of the most important indicators of healing potions. This often requires a long period of brewing to process the medicinal properties into its current form. look.

It’s incredible, it’s simply not something that can be achieved in two hours.

In addition, the dragon's blood is perfectly integrated into the potion, and its own strong vitality becomes another "heart" of the potion, surging with power. It will replenish the energy and activity of the user.

The key to the fusion of the two is the purifying properties of unicorns.

The main characteristics of the unicorn are purity and healing, gentle and surging vitality.

In standard potions, the unicorn vitality should be where "dragon's blood" currently is. But in this potion, Li Daoxian made wonderful use of the purification properties and treated the corrosiveness of dragon blood as a negative effect.

In this way, the three characteristics of phoenix feathers, unicorn tail hair, and dragon blood are cleverly integrated together, forming a precise cycle through exquisite proportion control.

The intense reaction of the dragon's blood stimulated the use of the other two, but the tail of the negative characteristics was swallowed by the unicorn. The common characteristics of the three created an extremely comprehensive recovery effect - the regeneration of flesh and blood, the recovery of spirit, and vitality. and vitality supplement.

It's not like a magic potion made on the fly, even a well-thought-out combination may not be able to achieve this level.

Gordon opened his eyes, looked at Maggie, and also saw the surprise in her eyes.

For a moment, the instructor didn't speak.

Li Daoxian also quietly waited for comments.

On the contrary, the viewers in the live broadcast room were a little anxious.

"What exactly is going on? Didn't we do a good job..."

"I didn't deal with dragon blood before, which was probably the biggest failure."

"The time is still too short, and the opponent is also very strong. In this environment, it is normal for the pressure to be too great to cause abnormal performance."

"My client has already said that if you choose a high-level potion within the two-hour time limit, even if it is completed, there will definitely be flaws. You are just a self-righteous fool."

"Li Zhongke, you said you would eat as soon as you finish... When will the live broadcast start?"

"It's a joke. He's not qualified. Why should I eat it?"
