Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 85 Research and Development of Li Xuan Grass Resumes

"Link, a stunningly beautiful woman is looking for you."

As soon as I entered the lab, Jasmine put down the documents she was holding and greeted me with fiery enthusiasm and a radiant smile.

"She couldn't find you, so she came to me. I told her you weren't there, but she followed me, determined to find you. I told her I might not be able to wait, but she insisted on waiting."

Link seemed to smell a sour odor.

He chuckled and replied, "She's wearing a veil, you can't even see her face, how do you know she's a great beauty?"

"Pooh!"

Jasmine glanced sideways at Link, pouted, and spat out in displeasure, "You actually wanted to lift her veil? You pervert!"

Link's smile widened, but he stopped teasing: "Even a great beauty like her doesn't come with good intentions, but I've already sent her away. Don't worry about her."

"Yeah?"

Jasmine was still somewhat skeptical, so she didn't pursue the topic further and asked, "Why are you back so early today? Have you had lunch?"

"have eaten."

Link nodded. "Once the work is done, you can leave. It's very flexible. Also, I already have a rough plan for the further development of the 'Lihuacao' leaf extract."

"Is that so?"

Jasmine jumped up with joy.

Jasmine was involved in a series of studies and hypotheses about the daylily.

Furthermore, the discovery that the extract of daylily leaves has a calming and soothing effect is closely related to jasmine.

One day, she casually remarked, "The air in the lab is so fresh today; it makes me feel so calm."

This gave Link inspiration, and he discovered the effects of extracts from daylily leaves.

Jasmine made significant contributions to the research and development of Lixuancao, if not unparalleled.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

Jasmine waved her little hands, her expression excited and impatient.

In her studies, research, and experiments, Jasmine has already taken on the shape of Link.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

Link went to Celine Wizard's Apothecary to apply for a job, while Jasmine was the main person in charge of research in the laboratory.

As the main force, how can we not have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the research that is about to be carried out?

Link told Jasmine in detail about his inspiration, research and development plan, and expected research results for developing daylily leaf extract into aromatherapy essential oil.

Collecting and reading relevant information and literature on aromatherapy and essential oils is also very important.

Having references when doing research and development can save you a lot of detours.

Aromatherapy refers to all aromatherapy methods that deliver the medicinal effects of essential oils through the skin and respiratory system.

The research and experiments that Link and Jasmine are about to conduct involve blending and proportioning extracts from daylily leaves to create a perfect aromatherapy essential oil formula.

There are many types of aromatherapy essential oils on the market, each with different functions.

Currently, Link has access to no more than 10 aromatherapy essential oils that have a calming and meditative effect and are suitable for wizard apprentices.

The price is 3 standard level 1 magic stones per bottle.

A bottle of aromatherapy essential oil can only be used 8 to 10 times.

A wizard apprentice, if financially well-off, uses aromatherapy oils for each meditation session, which costs at least 10 magic stones a month.

The market size and expected returns are very considerable.

Although Link hasn't used any medications to aid meditation so far, it hasn't stopped him from being optimistic about the future returns of Hemerocallis aromatherapy oil.

It wasn't that he didn't know such medicine existed before, or that he disdained to use it; it was that he couldn't afford it.

Once he could afford it, in order to maintain the purity of his mental and magical power and prepare for his advancement to a third-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible, Link was no longer suited to use such potions.

Jasmine would be a good fit, but her magic stones couldn't support such spending, and she was unwilling to borrow a large amount of magic stones from Link.

Moreover, once the product is produced and launched, it will certainly not only be sold at Rivos College and Rivos City.

Sales can be conducted throughout the Michel district, the Tudor region, and even the entire West Coast, wherever the Academy's commercial channels can reach.

That said, if Link wants to quickly transfer or sell his patents after his research results are achieved, he must have a differentiated competitive advantage.

The goal is either to reduce costs, enhance effectiveness, or achieve both.

Research findings should not be limited to laboratory products. Even if we do not develop a feasible large-scale production plan, we should at least point out the direction for the development of industrial production processes.

In this way, patents can be quickly monetized.

This is no small matter; the research process must be rigorous enough, the experimental data must be reliable enough, and the resulting formula must be potent enough.

The workload is heavy, and there are many experimental projects.

It won't be possible to get results in a short time.

Being busy will be the keynote for quite some time to come.

……

With no troubles to deal with, the remaining five days of the first week of the holiday passed quickly.

During those five days, Link's life was very regular.

Every morning, I get up early, wash up, eat breakfast, and take the rail transit train to the eastern part of Rivosos City, to Serene Pharmacy.

Upon entering the store, customers check in, change clothes, and have their information regarding the type, quantity, and weight of the plants and herbs to be processed verified.

After verification, pretreatment of plants and herbs is carried out;

Once all the plants and herbs were properly processed, they were handed over to the wizard Tina, who was in charge of refining them.

At this time, it is often lunchtime, and they will eat a staff meal at the store's restaurant.

Occasionally, I could overhear the conversations of the three full-time employees, and thus learn some information about the full-time wizards, the high school, or the front lines.

After a short rest following the meal, I bid farewell to Wizard Celine and left work.

I took the rail transit train back to the college to conduct research and development on extracts from daylily leaves.

I went to the cafeteria to have dinner and fill my stomach.

After dinner, I went to the library to study on my own, accessing advanced literature databases to find materials and documents, focusing on pharmaceutics.

What? Mina Haveczek?

The gap was too large, and she couldn't withstand Tina's cold violence, so she gave up on her own the next day.

What was expected to be a fierce battle turned out to be all bark and no bite, with no real action whatsoever.

Link increasingly looked down on the current "New Blood Mutual Aid Society".

In addition to the above itinerary, Link also continued to hone his skills in witchcraft.

The four newly purchased level 0 sorcery spells have reached the mastery level.

All eight of the original level 0 spells have reached the perfect level and can be "instantly cast" (casting within 1 second).

"Secondary Mist Rain", "Thorn Entanglement", and "Water Shield" are very close to the level of "innovation".

However, Link always felt that there was a very thin but extremely difficult membrane blocking him.

Several attempts to break through failed.

Think deeply, summarize lessons learned, and analyze the reasons for failure.

Link guessed that he might need a trigger, a flash of inspiration, to make a breakthrough.

Ascetic practices and gradual enlightenment are useless in advancing witchcraft from "perfection" to "innovation"; sudden enlightenment is required.

Therefore, Link didn't dwell on this and peacefully enjoyed his long-lost peaceful life.

Feeling refreshed, happy, and extremely comfortable.

Bullshit!
