Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 27 Pharmaceutics

"There are many ways to classify poisons, the most common being by their source and purpose."

Hibel held a piece of an unidentified twig, cut it off with scissors, squeezed out the sap, and continued:

"Natural toxins include plant-based toxins, such as those found in poisonous mushrooms, cassava, bitter almonds, ginkgo nuts, etc..."

"Animal toxins, such as those from pufferfish, venomous snakes, and spiders."

"There are also toxins that are extracted and refined later, the most common of which are pesticides used by farmers to weed and kill insects."

This is a laboratory in Adolf Estate, now used as a guest room for pharmacy lectures.

Carl held a quill pen, nodding and taking notes, and occasionally helping to process the medicinal herbs.

"Your habit of taking notes is very good."

Hibel picked up a glass bottle, gently shook the liquid inside, and exclaimed in admiration:

"My mentor once said, never put down your pen and ink; they work better than your brain."

A good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

There are similar proverbs here.

"Besides the previous classification, I prefer another one."

Hibel continued:

"Classified according to toxic effects."

"They can be roughly divided into blood toxins, neurotoxins, corrosive toxins, enzyme toxins, etc., so that the antidote can be formulated more effectively."

As he spoke, he handed over a test tube containing half a vial of medicine.

"Try it."

"This is a paralyzing toxin I concocted. It can make a knight's squire's body stiffen and lose the ability to resist for a short period of time."

?

Karl's face turned pale:

"You really want to try it?"

"Of course," Hibel replied matter-of-factly.

"There's nothing more profound than learning about the principles and combinations of medicines than trying them out yourself. Plus, the more you try, the more your body can develop resistance to poisons."

"It will be easier to learn the witchcraft technique of 'toxic immunity' in the future."

"Alright." Karl sighed helplessly, forcibly suppressing his unease, and took the poison, drinking it down in one gulp.

He has tried several different medications in the past few days.

According to Sybil, this immersive learning experience is the most efficient, and it's a style she learned from her mentor, Adolf.

In just a few breaths, Karl felt his breathing become rapid and his body began to stiffen.

"How is it?"

Hibel smiled.

"Are you starting to feel it?"

Karl's face was flushed, and he nodded with difficulty. At the same time, he staggered to the experimental table and began to prepare the medicine.

Not long after.

He poured down the medicine he had prepared, and his body went limp, collapsing into the seat, gasping for breath.

"good!"

Hibel taps her hands lightly:

"It seems you have fully grasped the knowledge taught in class yesterday, and you did not make any mistakes in preparing the medicine while your body was paralyzed. I was originally planning to help you detoxify."

Karl was exhausted and unable to respond.

After spending some time with him, he gained some understanding of Hibel's personality.

Essentially.

Hibel is a girl full of curiosity about the world, but she is also very cautious about the outside world because of her education.

So I'm often confused.

At first glance, she may seem aloof and distant, but once you get to know her, she becomes very approachable.

After all, she's just a girl in her early teens; how deep could her mind be?

"Ring ring..."

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Hibel stopped what she was doing, smiled, and reached out her hand:

"I had three classes today, plus two potion recipes, for a total of twelve gold coins."

"Twelve?" Karl's face turned pale.

I don't know if it was because the toxins in my body hadn't been cleared out yet, or because I was shocked by the number, but I remained silent for a long time.

Knowledge has value.

It was only after entering the world of wizards that he truly grasped this point.

Even for the purpose of teaching, the prescription for the medicine has to be paid for, and different prescriptions have different prices.

and,

Even the materials used in class have to be paid for by the students themselves.

In short, money is needed everywhere.

Even though he brought back a lot of things from the other world, the gold coins he received were being consumed at a visible rate.

All we can do now is sigh.

"I'll bring it in a couple of days."

"Alright."

Thanks to his previous good reputation, Hibel didn't care about his debts.

"Hibel".

The classroom door opened, and a beautiful woman walked in: "Your advisor wrote a letter mentioning something very important. Come and take a look."

Karl rose and bowed:

"lady."

Catherine was Adolf's wife, and in the semantics of the Kingdom of Gondor, her name symbolized purity.

Unlike the elderly Adolf.

Catherine was not yet thirty, the prime of a woman's life, and she was extremely beautiful.

Of all the women Karl had ever met, perhaps only the captivating Mrs. Anne, who charmed countless men, could rival him in terms of eyebrows.

"Karl".

Catherine nodded:

"Would you like to stay for dinner today?"

"No." Karl shook his head.

"It's too late to go back; it won't be safe on the road."

"You can stay here," Catherine said with a smile.

"There are many empty houses in the manor."

"No need to trouble yourself," Karl said, shaking his head in refusal.

"Oh well."

Catherine shrugged.

She was quite satisfied with Adolf's new disciple, who had always shown her great respect.

Unlike Tim.

He appears to be a gentleman, but his eyes are wicked. He often sneaks glances at you, making you feel very uncomfortable.

Back at their lodgings, Jenny had already prepared dinner.

Her cooking skills are getting better and better.

Karl didn't stand on ceremony; his rent included food and laundry, which was normal in the Kingdom of Gondor.

bedroom.

Karl packed up all the collected supplies and then, as if familiar with the way, headed to the Fragment of the Gods.

"finally……"

"We've got the potion formula!"

These days, he's been studying potion making with Sybil, partly to acquire knowledge and partly to learn how to formulate formulas.

That potion recipe, with necromantic dust as the main ingredient, can increase the mental strength of wizard apprentices.

The light of wisdom!

This is the name of the recipe.

Preparing medicines requires extremely strict control over the order, timing, and proportion of materials.

The slightest mistake could render the medicine ineffective, or even cause an explosion or turn the tonic into poison.

And precision,

That was precisely Carl's forte.

Within the fragments of the divine realm, he could control his power perfectly, ensuring that there were no mistakes in its allocation.

Furthermore, by allocating fragments of the Divine Realm, the impact of the external environment can be minimized.

"20% diluted honey, crushed purple lotus seeds, and seven grams of high-purity crystal shards..."

Glassware, test tubes, oil lamps...

All kinds of laboratory equipment were neatly arranged.

"puff!"

A plume of black smoke billowed out, signaling the failure of the experiment.

Karl remained unmoved.

Even though he had precise control over his own power, he was still unfamiliar with the proportions of the potions.

The chances of a successful experiment on the first try are extremely low.

Failure is inevitable.

Pick up a quill pen and record the experimental data.

"Second attempt: Increase the weight of the crystal shards to delay the time it takes to place the necromantic dust, and record the data."

"puff!"

"Try three: treat the purple lotus roots..."

"Bang!"

A burst of flame caused some of the utensils to break, but fortunately Karl had prepared in advance and bought spares.

"Try 37, honey coagulation degree 2, necromantic dust quantity 7..."

"clatter!"

As a few drops of liquid flowed into the test tube, Karl understood why the potion was called the Light of Wisdom.

The powdered crystal shimmered faintly after dissolving.

Gently shaking the test tube reveals a dazzling, shimmering spectacle that captivates the viewer.

"Well……"

"It must be the effect of the necromantic dust that gives the potion's glow its alluring properties."

After putting down the test tube, Karl continued his experiment.

soon.

"One part Necromancer Dust can be mixed into two parts Light of Wisdom, and the other materials cost six gold pounds."

"Next..."

"Let's see how it goes!"
