Friday's pharmacy class has arrived, and the students in the class have made a lot of preparations for this day, and some even memorized the entire process described by the teacher.
Refining simple potions is a must-learn skill for many professions, especially Mage. These potions can not only be used to assist one's future path, but are also necessary for many rituals. Most of the related knowledge will also be used in other courses.
The school provides each student with two potion raw materials in class. If both are successfully refined, the successful potion will be a reward for students who study well. If they fail, not only will their grades be very low, but they will also lose a lot of money in disguise. This is very uncomfortable and regrettable for students from poor families.
The course is held in a special classroom, where various tools have been prepared on the table, and four teachers are walking around to take care of it at the same time.
"What we are going to refine today is the common one "Light Body Potion", which can make a person's body lighter and move faster. It also has a certain damage reduction effect on falling." In class, the teacher wrote down the formula and key steps, and after letting the students become familiar with it again, announced the start.
As [Light Body Potion], which is between First Order and the second level, its production method is difficult and the material is delicate. If the main ingredient "Wind-Breath Mayfly" is not careful, it will die prematurely, or its characteristics will not be stimulated, causing the potion to fail.
Its production materials and effects are First Order, but the refining difficulty is very close to the second level. It is often used by various schools for exams, which can not only test students' abilities, but also save some material costs.
Sylutia stood in the corner of the classroom, looking at the materials on the table. He processed them in a familiar way. First, he put "Willow Catkin White Grass" into a beaker and boiled out the juice. At the same time, he processed Kachila Stone and ground it finely...
Not far away from her, Lovier and Aurora were also concentrating on refining the potion. Because Sylutia had purchased the materials before, and the two of them had practiced several times under the guidance of the girl, they did not seem panicked today, but followed the steps in their memory and slowly reproduced them.
There are many students similar to them, because the teacher also said that this assessment will be relatively difficult, and it is recommended that students buy their own materials and test it several times in advance.
About 70% of the students in the class have done the preview and are not too panicked, but the other 30% of the students are not. Now they are a little in a hurry. Some are too nervous and forget a link in the process, or the handling methods are rough, causing damage to the materials and getting stuck midway.
By the end of the course, most of the students who had not previewed in advance failed to complete the potion refining. As for the other students who had gone through the preview test, 20% had accidents, resulting in the failure of both materials. The students who actually successfully refined both materials accounted for only a small proportion of the students in the class.
Based on the results, the teacher will evaluate the potion that has been completely refined as excellent, the potion that has been successfully refined as good, the incomplete potion that has partial effects as passing, and the potion that has completely failed can only be evaluated as failing.
Not surprisingly, the three people in Sylutia's dormitory all got "Excellent", and the quality of the medicine Sylutia was the highest among them. Among the other students, the best quality of the medicine refined by Sylutia was "Excellent", and hers was "Rare".
[Light Body Potion](First Order·Excellent): It can reduce body weight by 30%, gain faster speed, and reduce the Impact force of falling for 40 seconds.
[Light Body Potion] (First Order·Rare): It can reduce weight by 50%, gain faster speed, and reduce the Impact force of falling for 60 seconds.
Seeing this result, Sylutia nodded slightly. In fact, with her strength, she can prepare it better and achieve perfect quality easily. If she is allowed to restore Emerald Nectar Aspect Power, she can even use Aspect Power's ability to activate the potion's effectiveness and further improve the quality.
Although she thought this kind of thing was no big deal, in the eyes of the teacher, it was like discovering a rare treasure. Not only was she praised in class, but when she returned to the office, the news about Sylutia's achievements in the pharmacy class quickly spread throughout the school's teacher circle.
There are several teachers here who are "third-level" Mage. Even if they prepare [Light Body Potion], the result will be "excellent" at best. If you want to achieve rarity, you need other things to assist, either by changing to better materials, or by using some means to improve the operation ability in a short time.
"Didn't she use other methods when refining the potion?" The director of the office looked at the two potions on the table and asked several other teachers beside him.
"No, several of us have seen it in the past. In fact, as long as you have seen her process of preparing potions, you will not doubt it, because she operates it very smoothly and skillfully, and every movement is just right."
"Oh, has she studied and practiced a lot before coming here?" The director touched his chin.
"That may be true. After all, refining potions is a skill that values experience. Even a genius will panic when faced with completely unfamiliar situations for the first time."
"Hmm..." The director thought for a while.
"Let's record it first. After all, it's First Order's potion. It doesn't mean anything. If she performs well in the potion class every time in the following courses, we will have to consider reporting it."
"It is our duty to recommend talents with special talents, which is good for the school and us." For schools that discover such outstanding talents or talents, Mage Alliance has always been rewarded, and it is very generous. Even the third-level Mage will be eager to receive it.
"Oh, by the way, I remembered that Police Station also came here before and seemed to ask about her situation." A teacher recalled what happened last week.
After he finished telling the description of the police at the time, the teachers present also became curious.
"That said, she is indeed very calm. It's no wonder that she has learned well in the course of refining potions. She is thoughtful, calm and precise."
"Give her special attention, write it in this month's report, and tell your superiors."
"Yes."
After school in the afternoon, Sylutia and his two roommates took their schoolbags and left the school. The three of them had just squeezed out from the crowd of classmates and teachers.
"A lot of people are surrounding Hedra. The teacher said that the potion of Hedra can be exchanged for 2 gold coins. Two bottles are equal to 4 gold coins."
"Several classmates were shocked when they heard it." Lovier said about the scene just now.
"Because the potion you refine is only worth 20 silver coins if it is of passing quality." Aurora shook his head slightly and replied.
"The price of the materials is 40 silver coins per serving. If you want to get back the money, you must at least have good quality."
"If you calculate it this way, the price of rare quality has increased five times. If you refine two bottles every day, you can earn 120 gold coins in a month." Lovier feels so awesome.
"That's why everyone is surprised, because many third-level teachers can only refine potions of "excellent" quality, and they also require a high degree of concentration to complete." Aurora was born in the big family of the Mage Alliance, and has a deeper understanding of the market.
Sylutia walked aside, listening to everyone discuss her affairs, recalling when she first arrived at the Woodland, when she was farming in the valley, and her wheat harvest for a quarter was less than 100 gold coins, but she did not include the portion turned in and the Woodland's supplies.
Speaking of which, she has accumulated a deep foundation at the Woodland. Most of the students at the Mage Alliance buy materials from the store and refine potions according to rules and procedures. However, it is different at the Woodland. Many herbs are unavailable or in short supply, so they need to go to the Secret Realm or various places to collect them.
This took a lot of time, and also made the Woodland's Pharmacist advance more slowly, but the advantage is that they can often have a deeper understanding of the properties of the medicine, clearly understand where the ingredients of the medicine come from, and can better preserve the medicine's properties during collection. They can also obtain better quality medicines during refining because of their better understanding.
In addition, because raw materials are often difficult to find, people will consider substituting them with other materials and actively experiment. This results in many pharmaceutical formulas being diversified, not fixed, and also containing a lot of personal experience.
Under this mechanism, the number of pharmacists in the Woodland is far less than that in the Mage Alliance, but each of them can do their own job.
Nothing is perfect in the world. Both training mechanisms have their own advantages and disadvantages. Mage Alliance can train qualified Pharmacist in large batches to meet the needs of the ever-expanding Transcendent group. However, in terms of pharmaceutical research and development and innovation, it is slightly inferior to the Woodland. However, with the support of its huge size and base, this shortcoming is not obvious, and it will only lag behind at high levels.
Sylutia Thinking about the difference between the two cultivation systems, the three of them walked to the place where they usually eat without knowing it.
It is impossible to cook in the dormitory. Even Sylutia has just come to Asura District and is busy studying and reading, so he has no time to prepare it. The two eldest ladies Lovier and Aurora cannot do it at all, let alone hope.
After the three of them entered the restaurant, they were greeted by several waiters. Everyone was very familiar with Lovier, a wealthy lady. Lovier had entertained the whole class here several times.
"Miss, what are you going to eat today?" The waiter came over enthusiastically.
"It's so hard to think about." Lovier looked at the menu that he had ordered over and over again, worrying about which one to choose.
"Any recommendations?"
"Now that the weather is cold, you can consider a Spiced Stewed Lamb with grilled Windbreak Root slices, and then a cup of slightly sour and sweet Lemon Fruit Tea to relieve fatigue." The waiter recommended skillfully.
"Then order three portions."
"Okay."
After that, the three of them sat in the dining room and waited. The light golden candlelight illuminated the room, and at this moment, there was scattered light snow outside.
Another corner of the city, Agate Street.
"Little girl, come here to help me so late." In a simple restaurant, an aunt with wide ears greeted me.
In the corner of the back kitchen, a girl with an animal horn less than 1.5 meters tall was working hard to wash the dishes and prepare for the upcoming dinner peak period in the evening.
"Because I want to make money, I can't waste time." She raised her head and answered, revealing her horns of different sizes.
While washing the ingredients, the aunt responded, "Hehehe, that's a good idea. It's always right to make money. You need to eat to live."
"But I'm still a little worried about you. I remember you said before that you still have to go to class during the day, right? If you don't study at all at night, will your progress fall behind? In that case, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Hearing this, the little girl didn't answer and could only hear the sound of working in the room.
Regarding this situation, the aunt sighed and said nothing more.
Everyone has their own difficulties, so why bother asking too clearly? This is where Orc and workers gather. Most of the people who live here are Asura District people with low status and limited abilities. It is good to take care of yourself.
After arriving at the time, the aunt opened the shop sign, and soon the workers waiting outside came in.
"Aunt Kujina, you're a little late here." A Orc big man from Sturdy walked in, found a familiar place, and got some pickled radish by the way.
"You're here for dinner, and you still ask for so much." The aunt replied skillfully, and then brought a hot dinner to Orc, which was a stew of noodle soup, vegetables, potatoes and a small amount of minced meat. It was simple to make and large in quantity.
"Hey, if I had lower requirements, I wouldn't have waited so long. I would have gone to another place long ago. Auntie Kujina understands me. Today's dinner was good." He ate with a big spoon while talking about recent events.
"It's been okay lately. I heard that guy Ango was eliminated some time ago. "Tiger Man" Ango" is a famous bully of Agate Street. He often takes free money in various stores and occasionally extorts money.
"Ango... I haven't seen him for a while." The aunt thought for a while.
"Kujina Auntie, don't you know? Haha, I will tell you something tonight." Orc, who has thick body hair, smiled and told about the recent situation.
"I heard that last week, it seemed that it was a rainy evening. Ango and a few boys were wandering around Agate Street. Then Ronda saw a well-dressed girl walking down the street. As you know, Ronda has the talent of "Night Vision" and often does bad things at night."
"Seeing that the girl was well-dressed and very beautiful, a few people gathered around her and made a deal first as usual. If the other party was timid, they could come up with even more obscene ideas."
"Isn't that girl in trouble?" The aunt shook her head, thinking that this story was not good.
"Listen to what I have to say. It is said that the girl was prepared to give her money at first, but when Ronda saw the pocket watch hanging on her waist and saw that she was very beautiful, I immediately didn't want to let her go."
"The result was that when I was about to catch the girl, I was suddenly injured by the other party."
"Now we have offended those guys. If we just give in and let the girl go, how will Ango be able to hang out in front of our brothers in the future? So we rushed forward and prepared to catch the girl in one fell swoop."
"Now the two parties started fighting. Ango originally thought he could catch them, but he didn't expect that the other party was that kind of "genius boy". He actually knocked down Ango and a group of them by himself, causing blood to flow all over the floor."
"Let's talk about our Orc's nose. Even if it rains, the smell of blood can be smelled hundreds of meters away. However, no one dared to go there at that time. They just watched from a distance."
"Ango That guy is really miserable, haha. The little girl strangled his neck with a silk thread and knelt down on the ground. He was taken to the police like a dog."
"Tsk, tsk, looking back on that scene, I could eat every day."
"Okay, please don't say a few words, but that guy Ango disappeared, which is indeed a good thing." Aunt Orc continued to prepare the food and served it to the new guests. Then she collected the leftover dishes from other guests and brought them to the kitchen.
"Anali." She called the name of the girl with horns in the kitchen, and then walked over.
"Did you hear what was said outside just now?"
"Yes, I heard it." She turned around now, revealing her little face in the dim light.
This girl named Anali has messy dark purple hair. The corners on her head are smaller on the left and larger on the right. She looks very thin and the outline of her bones can be seen. Her pair of deep blue eyes are probably the most beautiful part of her body.
"Ango, who snatched your things before, is now locked up. You don't have to worry about running into them on the way home." The aunt hugged the thin girl.
"In the future, you can come to the store to help make money, but you must also study hard, try to stay with good people, and don't learn from others."
"Auntie only does this kind of work. She works hard every day just to make ends meet. Unlike you, you still have a bright future." As she said this, she seemed to be recalling things from her youth.
After hugging him for a while, she let go and touched Anali with a smile.
"When you're not too busy later, you can eat something and go home full."
"Yes." The girl nodded, hugged the aunt's waist, lowered her head and rubbed it, as if to cover up something warm flowing out of her eyes.
