Chapter 16: The Secret Medicine is Difficult to Make

Inside the alchemy room at Marichaton's house. Ivan was staring at the glass dish on the flame, not daring to blink. The flame burned the bottom of the glass dish, causing the temperature inside the dish to continue to rise. The fish-swallowing algae fruit seeds inside were hot and red, like hot metal. He added a drop of scorpion tail glue oil at the right time. "Pop." A light sound sounded like thunder in his ears. Ivan hurriedly stepped back, and a series of snapping sounds rang out on the workbench. In the glass dish, the addition of scorpion tail glue oil seemed to have triggered something, causing the first fruit seed to explode, and then other fruit seeds exploded continuously, and bursts of black and red poisonous smoke rose, covering the area of ​​the workbench. "Oh, failed again." Ivan was not surprised. He hid in the corner with a mask on his face for a while, and when the poisonous smoke stopped increasing, he skillfully used a homemade sprayer to spray disinfectant water to clean up the poisonous smoke that was trying to spread. After a while, he opened the window to let the air out.

He just turned around and a head popped out of the window. "Uh---I feel dizzy." Sean poked his head out and took a breath of smoke that was discharged to the outside. He felt dizzy. "You deserve it." Ivan looked back at the scene and felt a little embarrassed. He had drunk the antidote beforehand, but his brother Sean hadn't. If he didn't feel dizzy, who would? He was just asking for trouble. After all, he was his brother, so Ivan had to open the door and go to the backyard. He found that Paddy had helped him to one side. Paddy's face flashed a trace of discomfort, and she whispered: "I advised Sean, but he didn't listen and insisted on getting so close." "Drink it." Ivan didn't believe it, of course. It was easy for her to suppress Sean, but she didn't say much. She handed each of them an antidote. Sean was not deeply poisoned because he had cleaned it with disinfectant. Sean used the antidote for a while, and the symptoms of dizziness were indeed relieved. "I'm going to rest." "I'll help you." The two siblings didn't dare to approach the door again, and hurried away with excuses. After sending away the two people who couldn't hold back their curiosity, Ivan returned to the alchemy room. "It seems that this method doesn't work. I still need to add spider flower claws first and mix in bitter wheat mantis whiskers to maintain balance----" He calculated the failure just now, picked up a pen and made a cross on the notebook, eliminating one plan. An hour later, a muffled sound rang out in the alchemy room again, like a fist hitting a quilt. Undoubtedly, he experienced another failure. Failure. Fail again. Fail again and again.

It has become Ivan's key daily routine these days, accompanied by money being spent like water. "Almost, I want to see what's wrong with these plans." After accumulating dozens of failures, Ivan felt that the fire was almost ready, and he used the second-level wisdom light neatly. In an instant, he became another person, with a great understanding and spirituality, his eyes shining, as if he could see through the mysteries of most things. "I understand. Take the seeds of the swallowing fish algae fruit, add the juice of the swallowing fish algae fruit leaves, mix it with pine stone foam, then add spider flower claws and bitter wheat mantis whiskers, and finally add a trace of red rock powder and scorpion tail glue oil. That's it." Ivan did not dare to slack off. He quickly took various medicinal materials and placed them as a whole to start a new round of experiments. He knew the reason and vaguely realized that the types of medicinal materials that replaced the water vortex potion did not mean that they would definitely succeed. It also involved the refining techniques, such as decocting, calcining, melting, pounding, mixing, stewing, etc. A slight difference will lead to a huge loss. He could not relax at all. Accompanied by a pungent smell, Ivan realized that he had failed again. "Almost." There was no dejection in his tone, but a kind of eagerness to try, because he had made too much progress compared to before, and he saw the hope of success. After cleaning the workbench a little, he took the same medicinal materials and started the second round of exploration. The level 2 wisdom light can last for 4 minutes, so he must hurry up. After a moment, the effect of the light of wisdom dissipated, and the refining in his hands was also nearing the end. "Sure enough, it's still a little short. I should have lowered the fire just now, and dripped the scorpion tail glue oil more quickly." Ivan stepped back quickly, and a small cloud of gray smoke just rose from the glass dish, which quickly dissipated, revealing the liquid medicine in the glass dish. The azure liquid medicine was like a piece of blue amber, but unfortunately there were a few gray-black filaments floating on it, which made the medicine fail. At this moment, although he was exhausted, his spirit was particularly excited. "Forget it, pack up and fight again in a few days." Ivan found that the main material, the swallowing fish algae fruit, had been used up and needed to be purchased again, and he had spent all his savings before, including some money supported by Biman. It was just a matter of saving a few more days. He failed dozens of times and was not in a hurry for a certain moment. [Pharmacy: lv2 (33br200)] [Knight Breathing: lv1 (17br100)] [Linguistics: lv1 (5br100)] He was busy exploring and didn't notice it. He found that his pharmacy experience value increased by ten points, which was less than he expected. When he walked out of the alchemy room, Paddy told him a piece of news. "Brother Ivan, Miss Church will visit our house tomorrow."

"Who invited her?" "It was Brother Paul." Ivan gestured to show that he knew. Miss Church was the daughter of the country baron mentioned by Beeman. She came to Flying Fish Harbor to visit relatives. For some reason, Paul fell in love with her and was pursuing her. The next morning, Ivan came to the Bat Eye Medical Center. He needed to make money by refining medicine, otherwise the research would not be sustainable. As for the swordsmanship hall, it is difficult to increase blood energy with the rushing breathing method, so there is no need to go too frequently. He was refining the medicine as usual, and as soon as he got started, he noticed that he was more proficient in his craftsmanship. It was not too easy compared to yesterday's refining. He kept refining the medicine, and from morning to 14:00, he earned a full commission of 3 gold coins, and then rushed to the west of the city to take the Gaoganda ancient language class. "Mr. Ivan, start class." Mrs. Halaya is a one-to-one private tutor, and Ivan is the only student in each class. His progress in his studies has never been slow. At the end of the course, Mrs. Halaya invited him to have tea, and the two chatted for a while, during which Mrs. Halaya repeatedly praised his talent in linguistics. Mrs. Halaya got to the point: "Mr. Ivan, I have a proposal." Ivan said: "Please tell me." Mrs. Halaya smoothed her hair that was blown by the wind, and slowly opened her red lips: "You have reached a certain level in the study of ancient Gaoganda language. All that is left is to slowly accumulate vocabulary. It will not be efficient to take this kind of class again." Gao, so I suggest you switch to another language.” "You are such a kind person." Ivan thought, no wonder the linguistic experience value has been difficult to increase recently. Mrs. Halaya added: "If you agree, the tuition fee can be discounted by 1 gold coin." In terms of time, it seemed like he was at a bit of a disadvantage. Thinking that he was short of money now, Ivan couldn't help but said: "No problem, but I need to take a few days off first and come back to visit after a while." To Mrs. Halaya's ears, this was a polite way of saying no. In her slightly disappointed eyes, Ivan didn't explain too much. He said goodbye to his wife and said he would come back in a few days.
