Rise of the Dark Witch

In Roja's exclusive pharmacy room.

After bringing in all thirty ox blood potion materials, Maisie stood nervously.

This is the second time she has assisted her master in refining potions.

first……

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

She patted her cheek hard, "Messy, Messy, make sure you don't make any mistakes!"

Roja asked Macy to open and lay out the refining materials for the Ox Blood Potion one by one and count them one by one.

"One hundred and twenty kilograms of the blood of the advanced magical beast Fire Horned Ox, one kilogram of bone powder, thirty lotus vines, seventy carrot flowers..."

As a primary potion, the Ox Blood Potion uses only seven kinds of materials, and its refining method is relatively simple among the many primary potions of the Beast Sect.

Just because refining is simple doesn't mean that anyone can do it.

No matter how simple the primary potion is, it is still a primary potion, and at least it requires a pharmacist apprentice to refine it.

In the field of herbal medicine that Luo Ya specializes in, there is a medicine that is very similar to the ox blood medicine - herbal tonic medicine.

Ox blood potion and herbal tonic potion, as the two most popular primary potions for replenishing the body's blood, are in short supply in the market. As long as you master one of them, you can make a lot of money in minutes.

However, although the effects of ox blood potion and grass tonic potion are to restore the body's blood and increase the knight's training time and speed, there is a huge difference between them.

Herbal tonic potion, as the primary potion of the herbal school, has mild medicinal properties. It can not only help the user restore blood energy, but also nourish the tired and injured body to a certain extent.

Ox blood potion simply restores blood energy.

If you use ox blood medicine when your body is too tired, you may die suddenly due to lack of supplementation.

The herbal tonic potion is better than the ox blood potion in every aspect.

However, cattle blood potions are much more popular than herbal tonic potions on the market.

In addition to the price of ox blood medicine being 20% ​​lower than that of grass tonic medicine, there is another important reason -

Potion tolerance!

Potions refined from herbal medicines all have a flaw. Potion resistance will develop after use. The more times the same potion is used in a short period of time, the weaker the effect will be.

The Brutalists have fewer concerns in this regard.

If you drink more than three bottles of Cao Tonic potion a day, if you continue to drink it, the efficacy will plummet to less than 30%. If you continue to drink it, it will be a waste of potion and money.

Ox blood medicine does not have this problem. As long as your body can bear it, you can keep drinking it. It doesn't matter if you drink more than ten or twenty bottles a day.

Almost no potion resistance is the biggest advantage of the beast style.

Even though potions of the same difficulty and level are weaker than the herbal and mineral schools, they are still able to stand on the market. This is the reason why they are so popular.

Roja closed his eyes and carefully recalled the refining process of the ox blood potion.

The refining of ox blood potion is actually very simple.

The Ox Blood Potion contains a total of seven ingredients, including the blood of the Fire Horn Ox.

The refining process is to add medicinal materials to the cow's blood, and filter the cow's blood every time one is added.

After all the six medicinal materials are added and the cow blood is filtered six times in total, the essence obtained by mixing the cow blood and the six medicinal materials is the primary medicinal cattle blood agent.

Roja took out a heating container with a filter compartment and poured a portion of the blood of the Firehorn Beef into it.

"The body temperature of the fire-horned bull is 45 degrees Celsius. The first step is to heat the temperature of the cow's blood to 45 degrees Celsius. Only in this way can the medicinal properties of the cow's blood be stimulated."

The medicine refining room that Luo Ya was in was specially built for pharmacists in the Young Lions Hospital. All kinds of medicine refining equipment here are very complete. If the heat container is heated to 0.1 degrees Celsius, it will never be heated to 0.2 degrees Celsius.

"The heating speed should not be too fast or too slow. Too fast or too slow will damage the medicinal properties of cow blood."

"It must be heated and stirred to allow the beef blood to heat evenly."

The heating process of cow blood is recorded in the pharmacy book in the library. As for how to stir, the speed of stirring, the time of stirring, the depth of the stick into the blood... many details are not included.

If you rely on pharmacy books to study on your own without anyone's guidance, this simple mixing process will stump countless pharmacists.

Originally, Roya would also become one of them.

Proof of two souls!

While using the Witness of Two Souls to observe the changes in the cow's blood, Roja held a stick in his hand and slowly stirred it.

"It's going too fast now."

"The circle drawn by stirring should not be fixed, but should be in a spiral shape like a snail shell."

"Okay, the medicinal properties of the cow blood have been fully stimulated, and the bone coagulation powder can be added."

Luo Ya stirred the beef blood with one hand and added bone coagulation powder with the other.

As the bone coagulation powder is added, the speed and strength of Luo Ya's mixing changes accordingly.

He sprinkled bone coagulation powder on the cow's blood according to the method recorded in the book. However, he found that the refining of the potion had undergone changes that were not written in the book. If this continued, the refining of the potion would fail.

"what happened?"

Roja started the Two-Soul Witness Observation again, and soon he discovered the problem.

"Is it the temperature?"

"After adding bone coagulation powder, the moment the bone coagulation powder comes into contact with cow blood, will it absorb the heat of the cow blood, causing the temperature to drop?"

"There has to be an increase in temperature of 0.3 degrees Celsius."

"And you can't keep increasing the temperature. You have to increase the temperature intermittently, and then adjust the temperature back after a period of time."

If Roja didn't have the proof of two souls, this problem would definitely bother him for a long time.

After adding the bone coagulation powder and then stirring the cow blood for five minutes, Roja stopped after the water level of the cow blood dropped by one-fifth.

Pour away the useless cow blood and carefully take away the filter. You can see that there is filtered cow blood in the space under the filter.

"Repeat the appeal process, but the temperature should be raised by 1.2 degrees Celsius compared to the first time, and the added material is carrots ground into powder."

"The filter also needs to be replaced."

“The filters are different for each filtration step.”

after an hour.

Roja looked at the bottle of medicine containing ten grams of red translucent liquid in front of him, with no sadness or joy on his face.

Compared to Roja, whose face was calm, Maisie clenched her fists in excitement.

"Master Vic, the ox blood potion was successfully refined!" Maisie congratulated loudly.

"Yes, the refining was successful." Roja said without any fluctuations in his tone.

"The refining was successful for the first time... Why do you feel that you are not very happy, Master Vic?" Maisie asked strangely.

"Do you think that at the current speed, I can refine a thousand bottles of ox blood potion in a month?" Roja asked.

"...No." Maisie lowered her head in despair.

The reason why Roja didn't have any fluctuations in his heart was not only because the time was too long, but also because he used the Dual Soul Certificate many times during the refining process.

It's just a bottle of elementary potion. Can't he refine it without using the Certificate of Two Souls?

After Luo Ya put the refined ox blood potion aside, he picked up his notebook and started writing.

The part of the notebook used to record the method of refining the ox blood potion originally only had about a thousand words. With Roja's expansion, the number of words increased to five thousand.

"continue."

As materials were consumed one after another and bottles of cattle blood potions were refined, Roja became more and more proficient in the refining techniques of cattle blood potions.

When he refined twelve bottles of ox blood potion, the number in the notebook had expanded from 5,000 words to 70,000 words.

Next, even if Roja does not rely on the evidence of two souls, he can use his own ability to refine the cow blood potion, and the success rate can reach 70%, which is very good among junior pharmacists.

If anyone knew that he was able to master the refining method of Ox Blood Potion to such an extent when he first came into contact with the Beast Sect, refining the primary potion Ox Blood Potion on the first day, they would definitely be shocked.

But in Roja's view, this is just a common thing.

He will become a top potion master in the future.

How could it be possible to be stumped by a mere elementary potion?

How could he become a stronger potions master than the apothecary if it took him decades to reach the end like everyone else?

How could he reach the top of the potion master's ranks within ten years?

Staring at the twelve bottles of ox blood potion that were refined.

Roja rubbed his chin in thought.

Without the help of the dual soul certificate, the success rate is 70%.

It takes one hour to refine a bottle of cow blood potion. It can be refined twenty-four times in 24 hours a day. The success rate is 70%. About sixteen bottles of cow blood potion can be obtained in one day.

In a month and thirty days, four hundred and eighty bottles of ox blood potion can be refined.

The problem is that the potion task he took requires a thousand bottles!

Even if his success rate could be increased to 100%, he would not be able to refine a thousand bottles in a month by refining 24 hours a day!

With the help of the evidence of two souls?

With the help of the power of the Two Souls Certificate, five or six bottles can be refined at one time, and two hundred bottles can be refined in one day. It only takes five days to complete the task.

But this is not what Roja wants.

Roja wanted to be able to complete the mission without the help of the Two Souls Certificate, and wanted to complete the mission with the strength of a junior pharmacist.

"Modify the refining steps, techniques and materials to improve refining efficiency?"

"Would this arouse others' suspicion?"

"You're so suspicious!"

"There are so many pharmacy geniuses in this world."

"Ferguson, who grew up in a slum in the inner courtyard and didn't know a single person, became a junior pharmacist from scratch in two years, and is only one step away from being an intermediate pharmacist."

"Who doubted him?"

"It's just an improvement on a basic potion. It just showcases 'Vic's' talent and allows him to enter the inner courtyard."

Roya likes to keep a low profile.

However, Vic's obsession before his death was to become famous, to be praised by everyone, and to trample those pharmacy geniuses under his feet.

Since you are using someone else's identity, let's help him fulfill his last wish.

While Roja was thinking.

"Gu, Gu, Gu——"

Hungry stomach growls came from Macy's belly who was standing aside.

Macy's face turned red and she held her stomach, "It's okay, Master Vic, you don't have to worry about me."

Roja looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the alchemy room.

"Has it been thirteen hours?"

He stayed in the potion refining room for thirteen hours at a stretch, without even a second of rest.

Of course Maisie, who assisted him in refining the potion, was the same as him.

Apart from drinking some water along the way, Maisie didn't eat anything, nor did she close her eyes to rest.

As a second-class apprentice, Roja had no problem continuing to work hard for ten days and ten nights with such intensity.

Mercy's mortal body couldn't do that.

Roja originally wanted Maisie to go back and rest first, but when he thought about the fact that he was now playing the role of a thin young man, it would not be appropriate for him to study potions sleeplessly for days and nights, right?

And besides studying the ox blood potion, he still has a lot of things to do.

For example, practice.

For example, go to the library and read a book.

For example, you can refine perfect spell-casting materials through "Elementary Chapter of Demonic Vein Insights".

The task of obtaining a thousand bottles of ox blood potion was just a small challenge for him and not worth wasting too much time.

In the end, I really couldn’t figure it out. Wouldn’t it be possible to refine it in batches with the help of the certificate of two souls?

Spending a lot of time researching an ox blood potion is simply a loss-making deal!

After thinking about it.

Roja covered his forehead with his hand and said weakly: "I'm a little tired too. Let's go back to eat and rest early."

Roja asked Macy to go back and cook first. He went to the library to read books for an hour, and then borrowed a hundred books in one go and returned to his residence.

After eating, I finished washing up.

After Luo Ya took some time to read all one hundred books, he looked up at the bright moon outside the window.

The deserted moonlight shines on Luo Ya's face, and the bright moon rises and falls in the depths of Luo Ya's eyes.

Staring at the bright moon, which was many times larger than the moon in his previous life, Luo Ya had many thoughts in his heart.

If he were a poet, he might have recited a poem.

Unfortunately he is not.

"So big! So round! So beautiful!" Luo Ya sighed casually and prepared to blow out the oil lamp and rest.

Crunch——

Maisie, who had changed her clothes, walked in with a shy look on her face.

Last night, Macy was wearing black and white, with a very short skirt, decorated with various flowers, a light and beautiful maid costume.

I actually changed into a different set tonight.

It is a maid uniform with black as the main tone, and the skirt is pulled down to the calf, making Maisie look like a night elf when she wears it. It is full of mystery.

Luo Ya was a little speechless. The maid uniform was just a maid uniform and she was doing so many tricks.

Macy walked towards Roja shyly.

When Roja reached out to hug her slim waist, Macy suddenly raised her head and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Master Vic, let me...let me serve you."

Before, Maisie didn't know whether it was because of fear or because Roja didn't give her room to develop, so she just lay down and let Roja do his bidding, and she didn't use the skills she had learned to serve her master at all.

"What will happen if Master Vic gets tired of this?"

"Macy, Macy, you have to be bold!"

So this scene happened.

To be honest, Roja didn't have much interest. He just wanted to make Maisie faint from exhaustion so that he could do other things.

But since Maisie has taken the initiative, let’s give it a try?
