Tokyo Paranormal, the beginning reminds me of the game plot

The referee from the royal family couldn't help but ask this.

Not only him, but also the students and professors present who had some knowledge of potions-related fields were extremely curious in their hearts even though they didn't say it out loud.

You know, the Onmyoji of Sakura Empire is still researching Type VIII strengthening potion, but you, without making any noise, have come up with a Type IX strengthening potion.

This can no longer be described as an evildoer, but rather a monster!

However, facing the shocked looks of the three referees and other contestants, Taichi Yagami just smiled.

"actually……"

268 Concentrated Potion

"What I refined was not some Type IX strengthening potion, but a concentrated version of Type VI strengthening potion."

The judges became more confused after hearing this. Not only them, but the other contestants who came to the operating table where Taiyi Yagami was also looked bewildered.

Then, Hannah Abbott was the first to lose patience and asked:

"Mr. Yagami, if possible, could you explain to me what the concentrated version of the Type VI strengthening potion is?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that she was being rude, and added:

"Of course, if it involves the privacy of your refining techniques, please pretend I never said anything."

"It doesn't matter." Yagami Taichi shook his head and didn't intend to hide it.

In other words, the reason why he only refined the so-called concentrated potion instead of forcibly increasing the grade of the enhanced potion like others did.

It’s all about this present moment.

"The so-called concentrated potion, in essence, is to gather the effects of multiple bottles of the same potion together, thereby reducing the number of times the same potion is taken."

Taichi Yagami had a gentle smile on his face.

"I initially refined three bottles of Type VI potion, and then added nectar grass, ethereal lily and other spiritual materials as reaction stabilizers. Although I used some external force in the end, it was because I didn't have enough time, so I had to resort to trickery. In fact, I could have achieved the same effect through normal evaporation steps."

"As for the results..." Yagami Taichi pointed to the measuring instrument beside him, "I'm sure you all have seen it."

"..."xn

Yagami Taiyi's explanation was not complicated, or rather, the subject of potion-making was not difficult as long as one could break through that layer of paper.

But because of this, the referees and other contestants all had weird expressions on their faces after hearing this.

"Using three bottles of ordinary potions to refine a concentrated potion that is only 1.5 times or even less than 1.5 times the normal effect. Probably, it will only appear in competitions that require potion effects." The referee from the Empire muttered softly.

"That's not the case." The White Eagle referee retorted, "If I'm right, similar preparation methods should also be used for healing and recovery potions, right?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yagami Taichi, and when he saw the latter nodded, he smiled and deduced:

"The extraordinary people below don't have that many points to buy high-grade potions. If they can carry a few more bottles of concentrated potions, they will be safer when performing exorcisms."

Just as the White Eagle judge said, the preparation of concentrated medicine is really useless to the middle and high-level officials of various countries.

No fool would concentrate all kinds of strengthening potions. As for recovery potions, higher quality ones can be used.

But for the low-level Onmyoji, Star Knights, Psychics, and wizards who are fighting on the front lines of exorcism and demon hunting, concentrated healing potions may be able to save their lives in times of danger.

From this point of view, the method of concentrating potions discovered by Yagami Taiyi can undoubtedly save a lot of expenses for organizations such as the Onmyoji Bureau and the Clock Tower - the value of low-grade spiritual materials used to make potions is far lower than that of high-grade ones.

As a result, when they returned to the rest area of ​​Sakura Empire, Katagiri Kase, the head of the pharmacy department, came to the boy.

"Brother Ye Shen, after the joint exam, can you write a report on your specific method of concentrating the potion and submit it to the Onmyoji Bureau? I will reward you with enough points as the head of the potion department. Of course, you can also directly exchange them for secret techniques."

"Okay."

Faced with Katagiri Kase's kindness, Taichi Yagami would naturally not choose to refuse.

The process of concentrating the potion is not complicated in nature. It just utilizes the inherent properties of some spiritual materials. In his opinion, the potion masters present should have mastered it directly through observation.

Katagiri Kase is no exception.

If it were some stingy senior executives, they would simply keep such techniques to themselves and not give any rewards.

But the other party did not do so.

Taichi Yagami said he would remember this favor.

Even so, nowadays, his demand for Onmyoji's points and spiritual arts is not as strong as in the past.

——So, the concentrated potion really only has a small effect?

Not long after I sat down, I heard Xier's voice deep in my heart.

Not only her, but also Ryuguu Setsuna who was sitting next to her sent a similar question.

Faced with the questions from his fiancée and childhood friend, Taichi Yagami smiled softly.

then……

--you guess?

——……x2

'Concentration' is a newly discovered technique in potion-making. How could it be so-called useless?

In Taiyi Yagami's deduction, the real purpose of this technique is to consume low-quality potions to enhance the final effect of the same potion but of higher quality.

Take the Type VIII strengthening potion developed by the Onmyoji Ryo a few months later as an example.

A lot of A-level spiritual materials and S-level treasures were included in it.

A-level spiritual materials are already very rare and can only be obtained through exploring strange areas or killing high-level monsters.

Not to mention S-level treasures. Even the Dragon Palace clan, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, can only produce dozens of them, and most of them are unique.

In other words, even if Yagami Taichi deduces the corresponding formula in the future,

He was also lucky enough to obtain all the spiritual materials needed to refine Type VIII enhanced potions, but at best he could only refine one or two bottles of potion.

As for strengthening potions, whether for life or spirit, in order to achieve the theoretical full effect, at least eleven bottles are needed. Sometimes, depending on the refiner's technique, it may even reach thirteen bottles.

This is undoubtedly a fantasy for Taichi Yagami, who was born in the modern world.

No, even people like Ryuuguu Setsuna and Tsuchimikado Sayuri, who come from big families, most likely won't be able to drink all of this type of potion.

Since it is impossible to obtain complete attribute enhancement through normal means, Yagami Taichi naturally needs to find a shortcut.

The final result is his own unique condensed method, the second stage.

To put it simply, it is to use the inclusive characteristics of the void-attributed Death Flame shared from Xiel to replace the spiritual materials with the same effects that Ye Shen Taiyi has not yet discovered, concentrate and sublimate the effects of low-quality potions, and then fill them into the corresponding high-quality potions.

"So, you were deducing this during the competition just now?"

In Gensokyo, Ryuuguu Setsuna's eyes suddenly lit up.

She was not stupid and obviously understood her fiancé's subtext.

Hierer was not present here because he was discussing tactics for Friday's team competition with his teammates.

But after listening to Taichi Yagami's description of the whole process, he sent a picture and read a message.

——b(￣▽￣)d

269 ​​Hymn: Hymn to the Stars

With the ranking of the first competition event decided, Sakura Empire's points jumped to first place.

Following closely behind were the Holy See and the Empire.

In previous joint examinations, this was something that the Onmyoji Bureau's top brass would never have dared to imagine.

But it actually happened in reality.

So, that night, the verbal praise from the Onmyoji families was relayed to everyone through Nura and Ma.

They also said that if the next eight people can perform well, or even get first place in the total points, they don't mind adding an S-level treasure on top of the original reward!

As mentioned before, S-level spiritual materials are extremely precious at all times.

Not to mention Onmyojis who were born in the modern world such as Taichi Yagami and Tohka Takamiya, even Sayuri Tsuchimiya and Setsuna Ryuuguu were all cheered up.

With everyone so excited, the third match day arrived quietly.

Taking into account the production of magical instruments, it is much more complicated than the refining of potions.

Just after seven in the morning, all the contestants gathered in the arena.

Although the Chongqing Onmyoji Academy will teach students how to refine soul weapons, how to make more universal magical tools is an elective course, and only the most basic refining methods will be taught in class. More advanced knowledge can only be exchanged with points after graduation.

Because of this, there were only two people from the Sakura Empire participating in the magic weapon making competition: Sayuri Tsuchimikado and Tohka Takamiya.

The former was born in the Tsuchimikado clan. Although his status in the clan was not as high as that of Ryugu Setsuna, who had the support of the Ryugu ancestor next door, he was granted the high-level secret technique of the Nine Generals of the Phantom Spirit, which had a wide range of effects, when he entered school.

After the test questions were given by the referee, it only took two-thirds of the total time to successfully submit the corresponding magic weapon embryo and pass the preliminary round.

As for the latter...

To everyone's surprise, the method used was a ritual refining method that was known to be extremely difficult to learn.

The purple-haired girl standing in front of the operating table, after selecting the corresponding materials, clasped her hands together and knelt on one knee on the ground.

then……

“Lala~ Lala~ Lala Lala~”

Along with the sudden breeze on the field, an ethereal song suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

The tune that Tohka Takamiya hummed did not have exact lyrics.

But inexplicably, whether it was the thirteen players competing on the field or the people watching the game in the audience.

A sense of tranquility arose in my heart.

"This is?!"

In the lounge area of ​​the Vatican, Bishop Eva's eyes suddenly widened.

As the daughter of the current Pope and a clergyman who had read a large number of Vatican scriptures since childhood, she froze in place the moment something strange arose in her heart.

——Hymn: Hymn to the Stars.

This is the name of the ballad that Touka Takamiya hums.

Although it is not a complete version with lyrics, according to records, in this world, only a saint blessed by angels should be able to master it.

But now...

Bishop Eva thought of something in her mind and subconsciously looked in the direction of her own saint.

Almost at the same time, Aisha Edes also tilted her head towards her.

"Bishop Eva, do you have any doubts?"

Aisha Edes had a holy smile on her face.

Just like an elegant and noble lotus.

"…I'm sorry, I disturbed the Saint."

Bishop Eva shook her head apologetically, throwing away the disrespectful thought that had just arisen in her mind.

——In the same era, there is only one angel coming.

——He will choose the girl with the highest affinity with Himself to bless her and reside in her body.

——In other words, the appearance of two saints at the same time was impossible from the very beginning.

——Instead of doubting whether Lady Aisha is a saint, it would be better to think about why the contestant from Sakura Empire can hum a hymn.

The Royal Lounge is right next to the Vatican Lounge.

Therefore, Princess Shirley did not miss the conversation between Master Eva and the Saint.

"Ha~"

The pink-haired girl chuckled, but her eyes were not focused on the Vatican's lounge area.

Instead, it landed directly on the face of the purple-haired girl in the center of the arena.

——It depends on the situation. Has he not fully awakened yet?
