Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 40: Medications (Seeking follow-up reading)
In Deep Blue's research, this world's pharmacy is deeply influenced by alchemy. It can even be said that it is a vassal of alchemy.

In ancient times, empiricism was the main approach, and all kinds of random things were thrown together and boiled.

Whether the final product works, how effective it is, whether there will be side effects, etc., only God knows.

In modern times, especially after the second great development of magic, potion science has made great progress, and often a small bottle can quickly produce an effect.

As a result, I learned pharmacy in a very good way, from separation to purification, from filtration to synthesis...

I have learned nine out of ten tricks, but I haven't learned the most essential part. To be more precise, I can't learn the part involving magic.

In the end, it became a neither-good nor-bad situation. With the sharing and impact of potions and divine arts, even ordinary citizens didn't trust it much.

At the beginning, Luo Yi was just planning to come up with an alternative prescription, but Shenlan was a particular person and didn't like to be fooled.

After such continuous pursuit of excellence, coupled with comparison and optimization of the knowledge recorded in the book, and repeated attempts, I finally made a qualitative breakthrough recently!

There is a kind of blue grass growing on the Dakar Plain. It doesn't look special, but whenever a magical beast is injured, it likes to eat the leaves of this grass.

This is Peleus, which has a restorative effect on the body, stimulates cell regeneration and accelerates wound healing.

However, this herb itself is somewhat toxic, and if you are not strong enough, you may be poisoned to death.

No matter how strong Luo Yi's physique was, he could not compare with the monster, so he looked for another detoxifying herb - Siren Grass.

This is a kind of aquatic grass that grows in the sea. It can neutralize the toxicity of Peleus grass, but Siren grass will cause heat poison, so it needs to be matched with "ghost moss" that grows in dark areas.

In this way, the three ingredients are combined and the dosage is controlled to form a prescription.

To be honest, there was some luck involved in coming up with this recipe.

The medicine that was finally extracted was black and had a fishy smell.

After it enters the mouth, it is as sticky as paste. If you swallow it with difficulty, you will feel a burning sensation from your throat to your stomach.

As for the effect?

No effect!!!

With Shenlan, Luo Yi monitored the situation in real time and found that the medicine could not be dissolved by gastric juice at all, let alone absorbed.

Therefore, it is ineffective if eaten directly, but it is still possible to melt it at high temperature and then absorb it through the pores of the skin.

So, today we have this medicinal bath!
An hour later, the water in the bathtub had completely cooled down. Roy stepped out, feeling full of energy and ready for another round of high-intensity training.

The effect is unexpectedly good!
More importantly, in the test of Deep Blue, it is found that it is not incompatible with red medicine, blue medicine and fighting spirit liquid, and can be used mixedly.

This result naturally satisfied Luo Yi, and he couldn't be dissatisfied. The main reason was that besides the effect, the cost was quite cheap.

One potion can be used to make ten medicinal bath recipes, which requires about 150 copper nars.

If you buy in large quantities, you can even lower the price further.

Of course, there are disadvantages as well.

The first is that the bathtub cannot be heated continuously, the water cools quickly, and the medicinal bath is not effective.

The second is that after taking the medicinal bath, there is a strange smell on the body that lasts for a long time.

Luo Yi spent half an hour cleaning and spraying a lot of perfume to barely cover it up.

Of course, these are not beyond improvement. Shenlan has already established a research project, and the next step is to eliminate the odor.

And, based on Loy's physical condition, constantly adjust the dosage of the medicine.

At this point, Luo Yi’s first medicine prescription was freshly prepared. After much thought, Luo Yi gave it a very distinctive name - Warming Yang and Strengthening Body Soup Recipe.

This was the style of the previous life, but Koloy didn't care.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the optimization project of the Wen Yang Jian Ti Tang recipe, Luo Yi also finalized the research direction of the next medicine.

It is not a substitute for the red and blue potions. He is not short of money at this stage and does not care about the expenses.

He chose "Mine Grass" as the core to study a sedative drug that can remove emotions.

Mine grass is a kind of herb that grows in the forest. It is said that it will only grow in large quantities in places where shadow dragons are active. It is also one of the very rare species.

Among the effects of Deep Blue Record, it has the effect of calming the mind. Chewing a lot of it will make you extremely calm, even indifferent, which can maintain a stable state of mind.

Shenlan made a suggestion to prepare a potion with the Mine grass as the core, which could soothe the mood and eliminate distracting thoughts.

After one semester of study, Luo Yi has gained a good understanding of basic meditation. It’s not that he has achieved comprehension, but he is very familiar with each step.

He even memorized the meditation runes that needed to be drawn during meditation.

However, he had too many distracting thoughts and his mind was unsettled. He simply couldn't calm down and couldn't even enter a meditative state.

As for Shenlan's suggestion, since his efforts had produced no results, he should use medicine to assist. Luo Yi had been meditating for a long time, so he agreed without hesitation. The next step was to work hard in this direction.

……

The next day was December 310, 12 of the New Divine Calendar.

On this day, Luo Yi went to the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory again. As a major shareholder, he needed to let the factory workers recognize him and give them a bonus.

This was Maruna Márquez's proposal.

In the past year, the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory has gone through many ups and downs and has been on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

These workers stick with us and work hard to keep the factory running even when their wages are in arrears. That is definitely true love.

So, Maruna hopes to take out some money and give everyone a substantial bonus.

If Luo Yi disagrees, it can be deducted from his personal dividends and paid out in the name of the factory.

Luo Yi didn't let him pay, so if it was a matter of buying people's hearts, of course he had to do it himself.

Moreover, Luo Yi increased the bonus by another 10% and distributed a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, which he handed over to the workers personally.

The response was naturally very good. A group of workers almost jumped up, and many of them rushed up to kiss Roy's boots.

Of course, Roy did not forget to point out the traitor to Maruna and let him deal with it himself.

In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about. Traitors must die!

It was also here that Roy received an invitation from Maruna Marquez.

……

The next day, December 310, 12 of the New Divine Calendar,
That evening, Roy took Oliveira and Hoover to attend the family dinner prepared by Maruna.

The banquet was grand, with a lot of food prepared, which was quite rich. There was also a specially invited band that played cheerful music.

The people involved were Maruna’s family, his wife, and two children, a boy and a girl, aged eight or nine.

As for Roy, he only brought Oliveira and Butler Hoover.

In Maruna's words, this banquet was a way for him to express his gratitude to Roy.

If Luo Yi had not taken action, the Xiangsheli Magic Energy Textile Factory would have gone bankrupt by now, and he would have become a rat crossing the street that everyone would want to kill.

The workers cannot get their wages and have worked for half a year for nothing. I’m afraid they can’t even afford to feed themselves.

From this perspective, he really had to be grateful to Luo Yi.

……

December 310, 12 of the New Divine Calendar, it's a new day again.

On this day, Roy was still not idle. He was taken to Provence Manor by Butler Hoover.

There were hundreds of people gathered here, including farmers, shop apprentices, guards, and shop managers!
These talents are the extension of the Raymond family's reach and the embodiment of the aristocracy's strength.

No matter what, Roy was the administrator of Auckland City appointed by Earl Raymond. Even though he was just an illegitimate child, he was the immediate superior of these people.

So, you still have to meet, and then, bonuses, food, oil and salt, also have to be paid.

The Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory has already distributed it, so naturally it has to be distributed here as well, and more must be given.

Of course, the title is different, it is a gift from the nobility!

Just like that, half a day passed in busyness, and Luo Yi just felt very tired these days.

Therefore, he postponed the aristocratic banquets on the 30th and 31st without hesitation.

As a representative of the Raymond family, he was naturally qualified to participate. There were also many nobles and businessmen who, seeing that he had made investments, wanted to cheat him out of his money.

But Luo Yi really didn’t want to get involved. He hadn’t practiced seriously for several days and felt that he was about to fall.

So, he simply refused at first, and then pushed Butler Hoover out.

This was not a big deal for Butler Hoover, as he was the one who handled the matter in previous years.

Thus, two days passed quickly, until after a good night's sleep, when I woke up again, it was already January 311, 1 in the New Divine Calendar.

Grace Day is coming!

　I always feel that my ability to write books is getting worse!
