Kate has gone mad. Just as the legendary Nüwa could transform seventy times in a single day, Kate is now changing into multiple forms in a single day.

Ryan suffered a great shock, both physically and mentally.

"I regret it. I shouldn't have taught you the Dieting Magic," Ryan couldn't help but say after shivering several times.

He never imagined Kate's skills would improve to this extent.

Fortunately, the team competition became the savior for Ryan.

"Well, here we go! The competition is about to begin. It's a team competition. We all need to contribute." Then, Lily's version of Kate raised her face and wiped the corner of her mouth.

It has been restored to its original appearance.

"Ryan, you look perfectly energetic." Kate squinted.

She began to suspect that Ryan might have found someone new.

I'm tired of her, my old flame.

She began to consider whether she should draw inspiration from the celebrities she had seen on television.

For example, Sophie Marceau, who was hailed as "the eternal love" by France men.

Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Lyra in Star Wars.

Jennifer Cornelius made a stunning appearance in "Once Upon a Time in America".

"My moral code doesn't allow me to do anything that would betray my friends."

Being Harry's dad once is one thing.

It will recover gradually.

But what if you're the father of multiple classmates at the same time?

They even take turns doing it.

"This would be too much for my conscience to bear," Ryan said sincerely.

As his words fell to the ground.

All traces of him and Kate have vanished.

The clothes were automatically put on their bodies.

Then, the two appeared in the crowd.

Next to her was Penelope, who had her arms crossed and looked slightly dissatisfied.

"How long have you all been delayed?!"

"Penelope! Penelope, absorb energy!" Kate clung to Penelope, her big-eyed cat-like face mirroring Penelope's slightly angry expression.

Penelope's anger quickly melted away like snow under Kate's physical gestures and piercing gaze.

"Looks like we're going to be brewing Potions." Ryan seized the opportunity to shift the topic to the competition.

"Obviously," Penelope smoothed her hair and lifted Kate off her, "but all the equipment:

There were only four sets of the silver dagger, balance scale, mortar and pestle, and the crucible.

It seems like each school should receive one copy.

Even now, I still don't understand how to brew that so-called Group Potion.

"And that crucible."

Its material is also very special.

According to statistics from the International Confederation of Wizards, there are approximately seven commonly used crucible materials.

Pewter crucible: Cast from an alloy of tin and lead, it is soft and has a low melting point, making it suitable only for Potions requiring temperatures below 200°C. Due to its low cost, it is the preferred choice for Potions instruction in many magic schools for lower grades.

Brass Crucible: A zinc-copper alloy crucible, it is the most common type of crucible. Once wizards move beyond using pewter crucibles, they generally choose brass crucibles because they are more efficient and heat-resistant than pewter crucibles. Copper Crucible: A crucible cast from pure copper, it can moderately accelerate the reaction rate of Potions (it can greatly delay the oxidation time of some root and herb herbs, but it cannot be used to make appearance-altering potions).

Silver cauldrons: Made of pure silver. According to the "Quality Certification for Magical Products," silver cauldrons must contain at least 99.9% silver; otherwise, they can only be called silver-containing cauldrons. Due to their property of enhancing the effects of potions, silver cauldrons have become the preferred choice for wizards concocting medicinal Potions (Linfred, the progenitor of the Potter Family, was a staunch advocate of silver cauldrons and used them to create potions such as Pepperup Potion and Skele-Gro). A huge statue of a silver cauldron stands in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Gold Crucible: Made of gold mixed with other metals. The * Quality Certification for Magical Products * stipulates that the gold content of a gold crucible cannot exceed 50%; as long as it contains gold, it can be called a gold crucible. This is because gold causes a rapid degradation of the properties of Potions ingredients. If it's too pure, it will cause the Potions ingredients to explode, making it impossible to brew in time. However, if it's below the specified limit, it's a good helper for shortening the brewing time of potions that take a long time (Felix Felicis). But due to its tendency to explode easily with slight carelessness, few Potions Master are willing to use it to save time. After all, the ingredients for Potions that require a long brewing time are very precious, and the loss is simply unacceptable.

Iron Crucible: A crucible primarily made of iron. Its only advantage is that it slows down the reaction rate of Potions. It's sometimes used to brew Potions with precious ingredients but short reaction times, as it's more reliable. However, precisely because of this, it's excluded as the first choice for Potions instruction in lower grades. Even brewing the simplest potion for treating scabies takes a whole day. Once, an anonymous Potions Master had the sudden inspiration to use it to brew Felix Felicis. What should have been a six-month slow brewing process took this master three years.

Quartz Cauldron: Both transparent crystal cauldrons and opaque quartz cauldrons are collectively known as Quartz Cauldrons. These are cauldrons that only legendary Potions Master can wield. It is said that Merlin possessed a flawless crystal cauldron, while Nicolas Flamel, who forged the Philosopher's Stone, used a quartz cauldron. (Ordinary wizards would most likely destroy it if they used it.)

Bronze cauldron: a Potions tool unique to Eastern wizards, called a 'cauldron'. The East has a completely different Potions theory system from the West. It is known that using a 'cauldron' to make Western Potions will most likely produce ointments with equivalent effects. Ryan paused, giving Kate some time to frantically jot down this information.

Because all Potions Master, including the International Confederation of Wizards, publicly claim that there are only three common crucible materials.

Unlike Penelope, Kate doesn't have a photographic memory.

"However, these four crucibles."

It's not any of the ones I mentioned above.

Its materials are also very complex.

It's so complex that I need to touch it myself before I can analyze it.

You all know my alchemy skills, right?

Even more bizarrely, this crucible had absolutely no effect on the efficiency of brewing the Potions.

It is simply incredibly sturdy.

However, this is impossible.

Crucibles made from any material.

It will have a positive or negative impact on the efficiency of Potions brewing.

Instead of being like them.

"It's as if they don't exist, merely serving as containers," Ryan exclaimed.

"Perhaps they are specifically designed for brewing Group Potion."

These are the ingredients for the Potions.

Over the course of nearly a year, it has been refined by magic from so many wizards.

Although the spells used were all Lighting Charm.

But the nature of each wizard's magic is different.

The goal is to mix them together to create a chemical reaction without causing an explosion.

Perhaps this is exactly the kind of sturdy crucible that is needed.

It only needs to be sturdy.

"Any other influence on the Potions -making rate is unnecessary," Penelope guessed.
