The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 41: Mass Production of Magic Potion (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"Do you have a tool to detect the strength of magic power?" Anna yawned and tapped Richard's head in dissatisfaction. "You came to see me so early in the morning, and you only ask this?"

Although she was very tolerant of Richard, she was still a little grumpy when she was woken up.

"I'm sorry, Sister Anna. I just had an idea that I couldn't help."

Richard scratched his head in embarrassment, and when he saw Anna yawning and opening the shop door, he realized that it was already early in the morning.

"Forget it, I forgive you." Anna pulled a chair and sat down. "There are indeed tools for detecting magic power, and there are many kinds. What do you want to detect the magic power of?"

"Well... it's alchemical materials, medicinal herbs, and these things."

"Alchemical materials? Then use the magic probe. I'll go in and get it for you."

Anna turned and walked into the back room of the shop, and took out a bronze needle about a foot long.

"Come back to your senses." Anna knocked on the table and handed the bronze needle to Richard.

"Dip this thing into the material you want to test, and watch the runes on it light up."

"Okay." Richard took the probe.

"But why do you want to test the magic power? Although the quality of the materials of the Qiyao Chamber of Commerce varies, they are still of passing or excellent quality. They would never sell inferior products."

Anna sat back in her chair, then rested her chin on her hand and looked at Richard curiously.

Richard scratched his head. "To put it simply, I plan to improve it. Or rather, I plan to refine the teacher's formula."

"Improve the formula?" Anna's face suddenly changed. "You've only learned alchemy for a few days, and you want to modify the formula!"

"Huh?" Richard was startled by Anna.

"It's not modification, it's precision!" Richard had to emphasize, "The formula the teacher gave is too vague. There's no way to increase the success rate by making potions that way."

"Stop! Richard, listen to me, stop thinking!" A magical power burst out from Anna's body, suppressing Richard instantly.

Under this powerful magic, Richard couldn't even move a finger.

"Is this the gap between low-level apprentices and senior apprentices?" Richard said in shock.

Although Richard had witnessed Eric's strength at the exchange meeting, it was only when he faced the senior apprentice in person that he realized how strong the senior apprentice was!
"Listen to me, Richard." Anna calmed herself down and then released her repression.

"Richard, I know you are a genius, a genius better than me. But you have to understand that no matter how talented you are, you are just a low-level apprentice who has just started alchemy. You don't even know as much about alchemy as me and Chax."

Anna tried to keep her tone as gentle as possible, knowing full well that Richard at his age would easily become rebellious.

"The knowledge that the teacher gave us, whether it was the formula or the design, was all practiced by him personally. If you follow his formula, you may fail, but there will be no danger.

do you understand? "

Anna's eyes were full of anticipation. She had done similar stupid things before. If Qiao Luode hadn't discovered it in time, she would have become a pile of bones now.

She didn't want Richard to make the same mistake again.

"I think you are a little too sensitive, Sister Anna. Let me repeat again, I am not modifying, I am being precise."

Richard explained helplessly that Anna's symptoms were like PTSD.

Anna wanted to continue persuading him, but Richard interrupted her immediately.

"If you are worried, Sister Anna, can you come with me? Nothing can happen to me with you protecting me. I am just making potions, not playing with red mercury."

"You...ah!" Anna knew that her persuasion was futile, and said with a little annoyance, "Let's go to the experimental area, and I will pay for the magic stones. You won't learn your lesson unless you suffer a loss once!" Richard was happy in his heart, as he didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.

"Okay. How about we go now?"

Anna glared at Richard fiercely:
"go!"

……

test area.

There are not many things in the laboratory. Apart from the test bench, the rest of the things need to be prepared by the wizard himself.

Anna stood in the corner, using a screen she got from somewhere to hide herself.

"I am only responsible for saving you. I will not watch your experiments or get involved."

Richard shook his head helplessly. There was no such thing as patents in the wizarding world. If the knowledge was leaked, the only way to deal with the thieves was to use fists.

Before the Wizard Academy, wild wizards who accidentally awakened their spiritual power but had no master could only explore knowledge on their own. And even the Wizard Academy only opened up knowledge to the apprentice level. If you want to go further, you can only become a disciple or explore on your own.

Therefore, in the wizarding world, it is very common for wizards to be partial to certain subjects. Richard guessed that the reason why his formula was so vague was probably because Joe Lord's main research was not potions, so he was too lazy to make a precise formula, or he simply got the formula from someone else.

"Okay, I'll start."

After three months of preparation, Richard had already mastered the art of preparing special potions. Processing materials, adding materials, inputting magic power, all steps were in order in Richard's hands.

As the experiment progressed, Richard kept recording the magic value of each step in preparing the potion.

The sun and the moon alternate, and time flies.

In a blink of an eye, Richard had been in the experiment for half a month.

In the past half month, Richard spent all his time on experiments, except for meditation and restoring his magic power. Anna, who was responsible for protecting him, took a few books from the store to the laboratory and decided to protect Richard until the last moment.

She held her breath in her heart. She failed that year, so could Richard succeed?

"For the last test, the magic value for the ninth step is 13.5. If it succeeds, 13.5 will be the lowest point. If it fails, 14 will be the lowest point."

Richard recorded the last piece of experimental data in his notebook with dark circles under his eyes. The probe Anna lent him could only measure 0.5, and he didn't intend to be more precise.

As long as he completes this final configuration, he will be able to obtain a fairly accurate concentration potion formula.

Richard mechanically processed the materials and then mechanically put the materials into the cauldron.

At this moment, he no longer had the passion of the past, only endless numbness.

Repetitive work is the most draining of people's passion.

The liquid in the cauldron gradually changed color as materials were added. Richard also measured the magic value in the cauldron at each step. When it came to the last step, Richard's numb heart finally felt a wave.

boom!
Blue steam gushed out of the pot. Richard looked at the dark blue liquid in the pot, stunned for a moment, and then felt relieved.

"Senior sister, come out! I succeeded!"

Richard laughed and pulled aside the screen that was hiding Anna.

"Successful? How did you succeed?" Anna was a little confused. Wasn't Richard just making concentration potions these days?
Apart from the configuration failure, there was not even an explosion.

"Sister, you don't understand." Richard shook his head without further explanation.

This is the first cry of the new era!
