Chapter 530: Potions Class (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
After receiving the poison, most people poured it into the crucible and heated it, but in the whole classroom, only Hermione could master Scarpin's Apparition Charm and use it to correctly analyze the ingredients of the potion.

Ryan used another method to solve the problem. He first took out a dozen herbs that could be used as antidotes based on his poison from the cabinet. Then he used the power of nature and alchemy to reduce these herbs into a dozen seeds. Finally, he combined these dozen seeds into a soybean-sized, translucent emerald-like seed.

"Oh, my God!" More than half an hour later, Slughorn was completely attracted when he walked to Ryan's pot. Ryan had already put the seed into the crucible, and at this time, a small transparent tree like a crystal was cast. There were more than a dozen leaves on the tree, and each leaf had a different color, but the color of these leaves was fading. In addition, there was only half a pot of completely transparent liquid left in the crucible.

"This is - alchemy? And the power of nature." After waving his wand and casting a few spells, Slughorn finally figured out what was in front of him. "It creates a pseudo-life alchemical tree, reduces the mixed poisons through the alchemical power in the trunk, and makes each leaf on the tree an antidote. Then, it uses the separation function of the alchemical tree to allow each poison to enter the corresponding leaf, and finally, all the poisons are neutralized by the different antidote components on different leaves. I have to admit that you have given me enough surprises in some aspects."

At this point, the crystal-like tree became completely transparent, and then turned into a light yellow liquid with a slight smell of bitter almonds and fell into the pot. Slughorn used his wand to levitate the crucible for everyone to see. "Please look, this is the best theoretical result after the end of our class: all the potions, whether poisons or antidotes, have been reacted, and only completely non-toxic and harmless ingredients are left in the pot, which can even be drunk by people."

"Of course, I need to remind you that Mr. Liang's method is not available to others." After the demonstration, Slughorn put down the crucible and said to the busy students. "The most troublesome thing about mixing potions is that when the poisons are mixed together, they can transform various unrelated ingredients into a large number of new magical mixtures through a reaction that is almost alchemical. Mr. Liang can reverse this change through alchemy. If you don't master alchemy skills, then the only feasible solution for you is to analyze all the reaction components and prepare a targeted antidote at once."

Ryan looked around the classroom at this time and found that except for Hermione who successfully separated the components of the poison and began to prepare the antidote one by one, everyone else was facing the crucible in front of them with a confused look on their faces, which emitted all kinds of strange smells and weird smoke.

When the get out of class was about to end, Hermione finally prepared her own mixed antidote. Ryan found that the antidote in her crucible was khaki in color, bubbling constantly, and looked like mud.

"There are 52 ingredients, and there's even my hair in it. I'm sure I can surpass Harry, the copyist, today." After noticing Ryan was looking at her, Hermione simply leaned over and spoke in a slightly raised tone. It seemed that she had been unhappy with Harry's behavior of copying books and getting first place for a long time.

In fact, Hermione didn't hate learning from others. You know, the reason why Hermione was able to complete the antidote in a short time was because she learned a lot of new knowledge during the adventure and communication with Ryan. Therefore, she didn't mind someone learning a better method, even if it was not authoritative. It was just that she couldn't stand Harry's style of just copying the book without thinking and learning.

"Not necessarily." Ryan just happened to see Harry running out of the medicine storage room next to him, holding something in his hand and returning to his cauldron. "Some things are not just for me to think of."

Just as Hermione was about to say something, Slughorn came down from the podium and began to slowly patrol the classroom. After avoiding a large number of antidotes that looked more deadly than poison, he scooped up Hermione's antidote with a small spoon and praised her: "Very good, Miss Granger, it seems that you have fully understood the knowledge in the book and have some understanding of your own. This antidote is very well made."

But Hermione was not happy about this praise for long. After seeing the bezoar in Harry's open palm, Slughorn was stunned for more than ten seconds, then he picked up the bezoar and held it high for the whole class to see, "Oh, you really look like your mother... I can't judge you wrong... Of course the bezoar can solve all these potions! This is the independent spirit that a real potion master needs!"

The fat Potions professor turned around in a funny way, and then said to all the students in the class: "If you have fecal stone, it will certainly work... However, because it can not cure all poisons, and it is very rare, it is still useful to know how to prepare the antidote..."

"Ding-dong." The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Slughorn stopped talking. "Okay, everyone can pack up and go home. By the way, 20 points for Gryffindor. For Ryan's superb skills and Harry's brave adventure."

"This is simply--" Hermione opened her mouth slightly, with a look of disbelief: "This is obviously a classroom, a place to learn knowledge, Harry is just taking advantage of it, right?" "Indeed." Ryan nodded. "But you can't deny that the method Harry has mastered is also a method, and it is very practical in first aid after poisoning."

"Well, you're right." Hermione looked a little helpless. "Fortunately, he also gave you extra points. At least he can give everyone the right guidance."

At this point, Hermione saw Ryan standing there motionless after packing up his things, so she asked, "Yes, the get out of class is over now, why don't you leave?"

"I need help with something, professor. You can go to the next class and take a seat. I'll be right there."

Soon, Slughorn and Ryan were the only ones left in the classroom. Looking at Ryan standing there, Slughorn fastened the golden buckle of his dragonhide briefcase and said kindly, "Hurry up, Ryan, you'll be late for the next class."

"Sir, I want to ask you something." Ryan said in a slightly flattering tone.

"Then ask quickly, dear child. I am happy to provide some help to a smart student like you. Ask quickly..."

"Sir, I know you are a great potion master. Can you recommend some places or people where I can buy good raw materials?"

"I see, I should have thought of that." Slughorn stopped packing his things. "It is true that some precious materials are difficult for students to obtain, but I think your level of alchemy may require some precious materials--"

"Got it." Slughorn said after thinking for a few seconds. "I'll introduce you to some of my good friends at the next Slug Club meeting. You can buy things from them in the future."

"Thank you very much." Ryan bowed. This time he wanted to thank Professor Slughorn from the bottom of his heart. With the help of the professor, his purchasing speed and research progress would definitely be greatly accelerated. After all, even if Dumbledore wanted to help, as a headmaster, he was definitely not as familiar with the ins and outs of buying things as Professor Slughorn, who dealt with all kinds of people all day long.

Not to mention that Slughorn is a potion professor, he needs these things himself, so naturally there are many channels to buy precious alchemical materials.

Once all the materials are ready, Ryan can start his plan to manufacture Our Lady of the Rose, which will provide a solid guarantee for his survival in the war.
