Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 28 Refining Potions

Pei Ze was somewhat surprised.

I never imagined there was such an unwritten rule among wizards.

But on second thought, it makes perfect sense. Without this rule, many wizards could acquire new knowledge through trading and then resell it.

In this way, the wizards who painstakingly researched and developed new knowledge would be the ones who suffer.

"I never imagined that the Wizarding World also had a sense of copyright protection."

Pei Ze clicked his tongue in amazement.

In the previous life, violating copyright would at most result in legal sanctions, but in the Wizarding World, doing so could very likely lead to losing one's life.

Knowledge equals power, and wizards who can discover new knowledge are rarely weak.

Nobody wants to offend someone like that.

"How about this, junior? I'll offer four magic stone coins for the two improved spells. What do you think?" Yin Xue said.

Four Magic Stone Coins?

Pei Ze was taken aback.

The exchange rate between Logistics Department Magic Stones and Contribution Points is 1:500.

In other words, four magic stone coins are equivalent to two thousand contribution points.

When Mo Weng bought his plant aura, he only paid three bottles of spirit spring potion, which were equivalent to 600 contribution points.

Based on this price, the two spells should cost around 1,200 contribution points.

The price offered by Yin Xue far exceeded Pei Ze's expectations.

Seeing Pei Ze's surprised expression, Yin Xue smiled and explained, "I need to show the improved spell of the Mage's Hand to my teacher later, so it's like selling it twice. It's reasonable to charge two prices, right?"

Even so, four magic stone coins are still somewhat overpriced.

Pei Ze felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that Yin Xue was taking care of him, which was why she deliberately raised the price.

However, he had already made up his mind to repay his senior sister in the future, so he didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yin Xue smiled and took out four magic stone coins and handed them to Pei Ze.

The appearance of the magic stone coin is somewhat like a black coin, the material is stone-like but not stone, and it feels slightly cool to the touch.

Looking at the four magic stone coins in his hand, Pei Ze felt a little relieved. Now he had the money to buy the materials for the brute force potion.

After that, Yin Xue took out a memory crystal ball and had Pei Ze transfer the improved spell into it.

Although he already knew that Yin Xue was wealthy, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take out four magic stone coins without batting an eye, Pei Ze still felt the deep malice of capital when he saw her casually take out a memory crystal ball.

After finishing his daily routine, Pei Ze went straight to the logistics department.

This time, the person sitting behind the desk wasn't an old man with white hair; it was the skinny young apprentice I'd seen before.

The skinny apprentice had a particularly deep impression of Pei Ze. When he looked up and saw it was him, he immediately showed a warm smile.

What would you like to buy?

Pei Ze said in a deep voice: "Twenty portions of level one pet food, and materials for ten portions of brute force potions."

The skinny apprentice already knew that Pei Ze had been promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice and was qualified to contract magical pets, so he was not surprised at all that Pei Ze had bought magical pet food.

But when he heard about the ingredients for the medicine, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Are they preparing to concoct a potion?

But Pei Ze had only recently been promoted to a level two wizard apprentice.

The skinny apprentice couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Being a pharmacist isn't that easy.

He'd seen plenty of people like that; in the end, it was all a waste of his energy.

Although he didn't think highly of Pei Ze's plan, the skinny apprentice didn't say anything and silently went to the warehouse to retrieve the items.

"Level 1 pet food costs 10 contribution points per serving, and 20 servings will cost a total of 200 contribution points."

"One set of brute force potion materials costs 20 contribution points, ten sets cost a total of 200 contribution points."

"All items total 400 contribution points."

Even though he had expected it, Pei Ze still couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard the price.

So expensive!

If it weren't for the income from selling improved spells, he would have needed to save for at least two or three months to afford these things.

"Pay with Magic Stone Coins." Pei Ze handed over a Magic Stone Coin.

"Alright, here's 100 contribution points for you." The skinny apprentice completed the transaction quickly and efficiently.

The Logistics Department can exchange Magic Stone Coins for Contribution Points, but not vice versa.

Holding the purchased items, Pei Ze turned around and headed straight for the experimental area.

The apartment environment was not suitable for brewing potions, so he had to rent a potion brewing room in the experimental area.

The rental fee for an ordinary potion-making room is as high as 5 contribution points per hour. The advantage is that it comes with its own refining utensils, saving Pei Ze the cost of purchasing refining utensils.

It should be noted that even a basic refining vessel costs as much as 250 contribution points per set in the Logistics Department.

Upon entering the potion-making room, Pei Ze did not immediately begin work. Instead, he first took out a portion of pet food to feed Wu Yu.

Actually, the best food for feeding Mist Feathers is Magic Stone Coins.

But Pei Ze can't afford to do something so extravagant right now.

He also needs to save money to buy spell models, cultivation resources, and potion materials; there are quite a few places where he needs to spend money.

However, if a large quantity of potions can be successfully refined, then feeding the Mist Feather Magic Stone Coins will be nothing.

With this in mind, Pei Ze was full of energy.

He took a deep breath, calmed his somewhat agitated mood, and then took out the materials for the brute force potion and placed them on the table.

Each potion was packaged in a black wooden box, containing only three kinds of medicinal materials.

On the left is a black, shriveled root.

In the center is a glass bottle about the size of a thumb, containing a pale red liquid, which appears to be the blood of some kind of ferocious beast.

On the right is a grayish-white powder.

Pei Ze had already mastered the advanced identification of extraordinary materials, and he could recognize the origin of the three materials with just a little identification.

Kudzu root, blood essence of a fierce ape, and iron rhinoceros bone powder.

The latter two both came from ferocious beasts, and were even high-level knight-level beasts.

Pei Ze turned to look at the utensils on the table.

A retort flask, a distillation flask with a cap, a glass tube for guiding the distillation, and then various test tubes and beakers of different sizes, all neatly arranged on the table.

"Omniscient, begin analyzing the brute force potion formula."

[Task created, starting to analyze the brute force potion recipe, estimated time 3 days 18 hours]

"Accelerates mental energy consumption."

In an instant, the analysis time returned to zero, and Pei Ze's mind was suddenly filled with a wealth of knowledge about how to refine brute force potions, extremely detailed.

It took him a while to process all the information. He opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The reason why the success rate of refining potions is low is due to the complexity and tediousness of the process.

The mental energy fluctuations required during refining, the micro-input and control of mental energy, the understanding of the medicinal components, and the precise control and correction of the changes in the medicine at any time and place are all things that are difficult to describe in words.

Even with personal guidance from a pharmacist, it is difficult to fully impart knowledge through words and deeds.

Only through personal experience and understanding during the process of refining potions can one gradually master it.

This process consumes countless resources.

This is also the main reason why it is difficult to train pharmacists.

Behind every qualified pharmacist is an astronomical amount of resources consumed.

Pei Ze, however, was different. His all-knowing eye had long been integrated with his soul. As long as it analyzed the knowledge, it was equivalent to him learning, mastering, and integrating it step by step, so there was no information difference at all.

In this situation, Pei Ze's understanding of brute force potions was no less than that of a pharmacist who had been refining brute force potions for over a decade.

After calming himself down, Pei Ze stood in front of the table and began to concoct a potion.

The first step is chemical treatment.

He took the materials out of the box, weighed them, put them in a beaker, and then lit the gray stone lamp for heating.

The gray stone lamp is somewhat like a solid alcohol lamp, except that it uses gray stone instead of alcohol as its combustion energy. When the wick is lit, it will emit a slightly bluish flame, and the temperature is far greater than that of a regular oil lamp.

Many materials require extremely high temperatures during processing, and ordinary kerosene lamps simply cannot provide the necessary heating temperatures, so only gray stone lamps can be used.

When refining high-level potions, it is even more necessary to use magic stone lamps with a higher flame temperature.

Pei Ze added some water to the beaker and then put the glass lid on.

Under the scorching blue flame, the liquid in the beaker quickly boiled and produced a large number of bubbles.

In just two or three minutes, the water inside turned completely blood red, and a large amount of steam gushed out from the edge of the lid, filling the entire room with a slightly pungent smell.

Pei Ze only took a light breath, but he felt restless all over and his blood was flowing faster.

He quickly suppressed his agitation and focused his attention on the liquid in the beaker.

A moment later, he flicked his finger, and a point of fiery red light instantly disappeared into the beaker.

At the same time, his lips moved slightly, and he uttered a series of strange syllables, sometimes sharp and high-pitched, sometimes low and weak.

As he spoke, the bright red liquid in the beaker changed into various shapes.

After more than ten minutes, the bright red liquid gradually calmed down and its volume slowly shrank, eventually turning into a viscous red liquid like jelly.
