Ark Journey

The pharmacist thought back to his master's frustrated expression after a busy night this morning and said:

"It's probably difficult."

Xue Zhi didn't force it, he himself didn't know.

"Okay, black box technology can also be used."

As they were talking, they came to the farmland.

Xue Zhi didn't say anything else. Instead, she asked everyone to make room for her and started to take things out.

Chapter 7: Two Alchemy Techniques

All kinds of useful things were piled up on the ground.

After taking out all the things, Xue Zhi began to introduce them one by one.

He held in his hand a brown plant that was about as long as a finger and looked like a bunch of grapes.

"Hell wart. It is the core of refining potions. Please don't delve into why it is called this name. This is what I called it when I got it."

"oh oh."

Several pharmacists nearby hurriedly recorded the results in the notebooks they carried with them.

Xue Zhi continued to introduce and pointed to a red backpack at her feet.

"This is a plant that can be grown and requires almost no land. I have a lot of it in this bag. You can pick some to do experiments and study it, but that's a story for later. Now I'm going to teach you how to grow it well. In addition, we're going to do a few planting experiments."

Hearing this, several agricultural masters perked up.

After saying this, Xue Zhi turned around and walked into the field. There were many things floating behind him, and many people following him.

He would first try to see if he could plant hell wart in the ground here without the help of crop racks. If crop racks were necessary, he would also have to see if the crop racks made by the Terrans themselves could be used.

A pit naturally appeared under his feet. Xue Zhi threw a hell wart into it and the pit closed.

Then he took out a handful of white powder and sprinkled it down.

There was a young agricultural master who was very curious.

"Sir, what is this?"

"Bone meal mixed with some ripening agents can be used to quickly grow crops."

After sprinkling it several times, the hell warts did not grow at all. Seeing this, Xue Zhi sighed.

A large group of people nearby didn't understand and didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing Xue Zhi.

The best planting method failed, so the hell wart was dug out, and a crop rack floating behind him floated autonomously and was inserted into the ground. Then Xue Zhi planted the hell wart that had just been dug out in the center of the crop rack.

He then sprinkled the bone meal, and within a few seconds, a miracle happened, a brown-green vine quickly emerged from the ground and climbed onto the crop rack, and then five hell warts appeared everywhere on the vine.

Xue Zhi let out a long sigh.

All the people watching were amazed. They had never seen such an efficient ripening potion. Only some Originium techniques could achieve this effect.

"Sir, what exactly is this made of?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Xue Zhi's face.

"Want to know?"

He was going to make a bad joke, but it wasn't really a joke because the source of bone meal in my world is really scary.

"The main ingredient is powder made from human bones. It doesn't matter what race they are from. I have collected a lot of it in Kazdel. Do you need it?"

Silence fell all around.

"..."

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange, Xue Zhi smiled and said:

"It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously."

Everyone who was tense all seemed relieved when they heard this.

Someone even asked with a smile:

"It turned out to be a joke. Then can animal bone meal achieve such an effect?"

"No."

Can't laugh anymore.

"..."

This denial made everyone, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, nervous again.

However, Xue Zhi did not give them time to ask questions. Instead, she took out a crop rack and told everyone to make some of the same.

They didn't know why Xue Zhi did this, but earlier Zhong Yue told them a code of conduct, which was to do more and ask less.

And this crop is very strange. It only grows when there is a rack.

Everyone worked quickly and soon produced a lot of imitation samples.

"Put it in the ground like I did earlier and plant these."

Xue Zhi didn't do it herself, but let others do it.

He had to make sure the hell wart he planted grew without his interference.

After the crops were planted, he distributed bone meal.

"Spread it."

Everyone did as he said, but just like the first time, nothing grew after they scattered several handfuls.

A hint of disappointment appeared in Xue Zhi's eyes, and he once again directed everyone to start another attempt.

"Well, it seems that this won't work. Scrape these off and try this one."

The local crop racks were thrown aside, and a group of people began to use the crop racks provided by Xue Zhi to stick them into the ground.

This time, there was finally a harvest. After spreading bone meal for nearly ten handfuls, brown-green vines slowly emerged. They were totally different from the vines that had been creeping up when Xue Zhi had spread it.

But even so, Xue Zhi still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Done. Let's plant it this way from now on."

As he said this, he took out five more backpacks.

"There are crop racks in there, and there are a lot of them. They should be enough for you to use for a while. You can study the tricks here by yourself. I don't know why they grow or why they don't grow."

The agricultural master, who was full of questions, could only nod after taking the backpack.

Xue Zhi, who had finally managed to finish one thing, stretched and said to the pharmacists:

"The basics are done. The next step is to refine the medicine. This requires some equipment. Have you been given space?"

"There are some."

The agricultural master was left here to grow crops, and the rest of the people, led by the pharmacist, drove to a house with a very large interior space and a large number of chemical equipment.

A pharmacist pointed to these things and said:

"We don't know what tools will be used to make the medicine, so we haven't arranged any, but if needed we can prepare them immediately."

Xue Zhi shook her head.

"It's not that troublesome. The process of refining medicine may be different from what you imagine."

Then he came to a place with a faucet and started to set up the equipment.

There is only one way to make medicine in the original version, but he has installed an infusion brewing module so he can use infusion to brew richer and higher-level potions.

The alchemy table was not a big deal, as it looked quite similar to some other equipment. However, when several pharmacists saw Xue Zhi start to place something similar to an altar here, they became a little uncomfortable.

What era is this still going on? If the potion Xue Zhi brought out wasn't really effective, and the altar wasn't really authentic, they would have really suspected that the person who came was a charlatan.

The construction of the altar took some time, because in order to make it a version that could produce one cubic meter or even several cubic meters of potion at a time, Xue Zhi had to make overall improvements to it.

The increase in the overall volume means that the number of candles used to stabilize the altar below must also increase.

Although the risk of infusing magic potions is small, Xue Zhi is still worried that problems will arise if too much is made. Candles are not expensive, and putting in more will only waste a little time.

Moreover, the construction of the demon-infusing altar requires a matching alchemy furnace to provide the necessary source materials.

Chapter 8: Success

After spending some time to finish, Xue Zhi began the extremely long explanation process.

The operation of the brewing station was relatively simple. He first handed the pharmacists a book full of potion recipes, and then began the practical demonstration.

The brewing stand in the real world is very large, with many contact points at the bottom, and can hold 24 bottles of water at a time.

"For example, let's make a batch of healing potions. The recipe is in the book I gave you. What you need for the healing potion is gold and watermelon. You need 9 grams of gold, and the watermelon should be about this size."

As she spoke, Xue Zhi took out a shiny watermelon.

Gold nuggets or all metal nuggets are special in the exchange system. Blocks and ingots are very huge, but nuggets are just small 1-gram gadgets, and nuggets cannot be turned into ingots through the nine-in-one process.

"Then stuff the hell wart in first. The opening is here. One is enough. You only need one copy for all the materials mentioned in the book."

After inserting the hell wart, the thick yellow pillar in the center of the brewing table, which had no energy supply, suddenly lit up from bottom to top at a fairly fast speed, and there was obvious heat generated.

This was also the first time Xue Zhi saw it, but he estimated that this should be the progress of medicine refining.

After the pillars completely lit up and then went out, he picked up a bottle of potion and saw that it had turned into a crude potion, and he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Did you see that? That's the progress of the medicine refining. Don't add other ingredients before it's finished, otherwise the pot will be ruined."

The pharmacist who was writing non-stop kept nodding.

At the same time, a pharmacist with rich associative ability and knowledge showed a very interesting expression on his face.

Thinking of various things, he suspected that Xue Zhi had dug up the graves of the fire demons in Kazdel and made parts of their bodies into the core of the brewing stand.

Otherwise how do you explain how this thing can work without any energy at all.

Xue Zhi didn't notice anything unusual about this man. He was now introducing two balls of powder, one red and one yellow.

"The potion made with the golden watermelon has already shown some initial effects, but we still have some things to strengthen it. The red one can extend the duration, and the yellow one can enhance the effect. These are also in the book I gave you. But I don't have much left, so I can only give you some. You can then research their substitutes or something."

After a while, everyone who had been listening for a long time nodded and said they understood what to do.

So Xue Zhi started the same experiment as before.

The effect this time was very ideal. Ordinary glass bottles and the manual manipulation of the Terrans could also produce qualified potions.

Xue Zhi placed a total of 20 brewing tables here, enough for all pharmacists to try their hand at it.

After refining a large number of potions, Xue Zhi clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to look over.

"Everyone, that's all we have to do with the brewing stand. The next part is the highlight. I believe you can see that this equipment has defects. The amount it can brew at one time is very small, so..."

Xue Zhi dragged out the word, and then he pointed to the demon-infused altar that had just been built.

"We need this to mass produce the potion."

Regardless of their expressions, Xue Zhi threw a book to them.

I wrote this after getting up in the morning.

The person who took the book found that it was much thicker than the one he had just read, and it was full of knowledge that was difficult to understand at first glance.

Xue Zhi also became serious. In the morning he wrote another book for teaching. After all, it was still difficult to make these people understand how to infuse magic.

First, Xue Zhi talked about the source material, but she didn’t go into detail, just saying that brewing potions in large quantities requires the participation of some substances.

Secondly, he told the pharmacists what raw materials were needed to brew potions and what they could be obtained from.

He then explained the method of extracting source materials by burning them in the alchemical furnaces he had set up.

Finally, the most important thing is to inject the magic potion and upgrade it to the best level, which is level IV, a 16-minute potion.

All the recipes have been written in the notebook that Xue Zhi gave to those people, which also records the possible situations and solutions that may arise after the magic infusion fails.

In addition, Xue Zhi also exchanged for a lot of revealer goggles, staffs for activating altars, and sets of source jars and placed them next to the infusion altar.

All his explanations were recorded by a camera nearby.

The whole story lasted until noon, and he also tasted lunch from the pharmacy here.
