God-level Demon Hunter

"This...how is this different from what I thought?" Roy said hesitantly,

"Little ghost, what do you think? Have you seen a different alchemy platform in other places?" Lei Suo was puzzled,

"I just think it's a little too crude. Could it be that our school, Geswald, also uses this set of alchemy equipment?" Roy didn't quite believe that the alchemy equipment would be so full of "local flavor".It feels like a small country workshop producing some contraband.

In his impression, alchemy should have something to do with chemistry.At least there should be some transparent glass test tubes, alcohol lamps, iron stands and the like.

"Are you dissatisfied?" Lei Suo's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, not knowing where he got his confidence, but he still explained patiently, "The alchemy equipment in the Snake School is indeed more advanced, complete and beautiful. But you You have to know that it is not easy to meet the basic requirements of alchemy with limited conditions outside."

"It's another matter if there is an alchemy room that a warlock is willing to lend. Most of those guys have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they have extremely high requirements for the details of everything, so they often have the most exquisite alchemy equipment."

"However, this set in front of you is completely sufficient for you as a beginner." The witcher suddenly reached out and knocked on Roy's forehead, and emphasized his tone, "Now focus, I will show you the most elementary and simplest A kind of potion, the refining process of calendula potion."

Roy rubbed his forehead, cheered up, and began to observe seriously.

……

Lei Suo first took a bag of marigolds and nettles, put them on the platform on the right hand side, weighed out a certain amount with a scale, put them into the stone mortar in turn, crushed and ground the two with a pounding pestle, and put the samples Show it to Roy.

The degree of grinding is also particular. If it is not fine enough, it will affect the properties of the medicine. If it is too fine, it will easily be overcooked and cause refining failure. As for how to control it, under the current crude conditions, it can only be judged by experience.

When Roy had seen enough, he added a quarter of the water to the large central iron pot, poured in one ounce of ground nettles and two ounces of calendula, and stirred them evenly with a spoon. Yellow suspension.

Then he pulled the blower's traction rope to ignite the charcoal at the bottom of the pot. At the same time, he glanced at the wall clock and waited quietly.

At this time, Roy seized the opportunity to ask about the amount of everything involved before, the amount of nettle and calendula as the main ingredients, and the amount of the base water.

The demon hunter explained one by one, and asked rhetorical questions to test his mastery of the two herbs involved in alchemy.

A quarter of an hour after the clock ticked down, the medicinal liquid in the pot hadn't boiled yet, and there was a faint fragrance.

Lei Suo immediately turned off the flame, held the handle of the iron pot and poured the liquid medicine into the finger-length translucent snake-necked bottle. His muscular arms were surprisingly stable, and not a single drop of the liquid medicine splashed out, as if a muscular man was knitting a sweater. Every stitch is just right.

Finally, the cork is inserted cleanly.

The whole refining process, in Roy's view, can be summed up as - adding water and ingredients to a large iron pot, pulling the blower traction rope, igniting the fire and boiling, and collecting the juice from the pot.

A slightly funny idea popped up in his mind.

If he watched the whole process from behind the other party, he would probably think that the bald man in front of him was a cook, and he was cooking some wonderful food.

"Calendula potion, internal and external application can speed up the healing of wounds and prevent wound infection... the effect is much better than simply applying and swallowing calendula." Lei Suo shook the snake neck bottle, looking very satisfied, " As the most basic and most practical potion, you must master it well. After all, your small body can't bear potions like 'Swallow'."

"This is not so much a potion, but a medicinal soup." Roy said something in his heart, and looked at Lei Suo expectantly, "What is the specific effect of this potion?"

"Take a bottle when you are injured and you will be clear." The witcher said, "If the wound is not so serious, it will probably cut your healing time in half."

"Shall I try it?"

The demon hunter gave up his position in front of the alchemy platform.

Roy rolled up his sleeves, skillfully took out a bag of marigolds and a bag of nettles from the side, came to the alchemy table, and began to copy the process in memory.Take the amount and grind the two herbs into powder with a pounding pestle.

He thought that he kept the refining process in mind, and he didn't feel the difficulty at all. As soon as he started, the problem came.It took him a lot of effort to use a scale to weigh the appropriate amount of medicine, and the speed was much slower than that of a witcher.

It is difficult to get all the herbs, should I use a pestle to grind them, how fine is the grinding?

"Uh, probably, it's thicker than the flour milled in a mill?" He pounded herbs, took the time to launch a surprise attack, and glanced at the bald man next to him, trying to get some clues.

The other party was already prepared, and raised his chin expressionlessly, signaling him to continue.

"Ugh……"

No matter how anxious he was, Roy simply let go and followed his intuition...

For a quarter of the pot of water, just pour the pot for ten seconds.

Heat on low heat and let the blower blow three times.

A quarter of an hour later, half a pot of steaming hot medicinal soup was boiled, exuding a strong feces yellow color and a pungent burnt smell.

Roy had a serious face. The medicinal soup that Lei Suo cooked last time was obviously light yellow and exuded a fragrance.

Why is the gap so big, but he is not discouraged at all. It is normal to fail in the first refinement.

He bit the bullet and bottled the pot. During the process, he put his fingers in the wrong position, and was scalded by the iron pot, and the potion splashed out in an instant.

Turning a blind eye, he continued to slowly pour the remaining potion into the snake-neck bottle, shook it slightly, then covered the cork, and placed it on the alchemy table in a dignified manner.

"This is the potion of calendula? Can it reduce inflammation and stop bleeding?" Lei Suo took the potion bottle with a blank expression and looked at it carefully, opened it and smelled it, and then his facial muscles visibly twitched. "Little ghost, I think the only effect of this bottle of medicine is to laxative."

"Unqualified!"

"continue!"

Chapter 33 Drinking the Pain

Under the dim light of the fire, a black-haired boy was standing in front of the alchemy platform, his hands nimbly moving back and forth among the herbal bag, scales, pounding pestle, large iron pot, and blower rope:

Add two ounces of shade-dried calendula and one ounce of nettle to the stone mortar respectively, and use five minutes of strength to roll them while stirring, two times a second, and count a thousand times.

Add a quarter of the water to the wok...

Pour in the crushed herbs one after the other...

boil...

The steps are not complicated, but each of his movements seems to be measured with a ruler, precise, concise, and moderate in strength...

After a quarter of an hour, the flame on the stove was extinguished. The young man held the handle of the iron pot, shook his wrists evenly, and then slowly poured the potion that had not yet boiled into the snake-neck bottle. This time, he moved smoothly and quickly without spilling a single drop.

When he picked up the light yellow potion and smelled the fragrance of chrysanthemums, he carefully handed it to the bald man with his hands folded on his chest.

"Leso, how about you take a look at the finished product?"

The big man sniffed it, then dipped a little of the liquid medicine with his fingertips, put it in his mouth, and closed his eyes to feel it for a while.

Roy wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead, and clenched his hands tightly together, like a criminal waiting for a judge to judge, his whole body looked very nervous.

"Little devil, congratulations!"

"Huh—" The young man let out a long breath of relief, stretched his arms and turned around in a circle, almost crying with joy.

No one knows what kind of life he has lived in these three days. Apart from routine training, he started alchemy when he opened his eyes, and meditated when he closed his eyes.

In his opinion, alchemy, a skill that pays attention to details, is much more difficult and boring than crossbow shooting training.Whether it was the previous world or this world, Roy was not very interested in precision instruments.However, Lei Suo, the snake demon hunter, pays great attention to alchemy and has very strict requirements on him.

How he hopes to have a skill that can be refined in an instant in the future.

"Well, although the quality of this calendula potion is not as good as that of most country herbalists, it is effective." The witcher said, "You just need to keep practicing to create hundreds of thousands of potions. With a qualified medicine, the level will naturally improve."

"By the way, Lei Suo, since the potion of calendula is more effective than simple herbal medicine in treating trauma," Roy expressed his doubts in his heart, "How about selling it, will there be sales, and can it make money?"

The demon hunter shook his head and explained, "If you can think of this, other people are not fools. The common people at the bottom will think that the medicine is too expensive, and they would rather buy some ready-made and cheap herbs themselves, which are completely enough. The rich can't use it. Calendula potion, there are well-known doctors to visit them... The medical field, no matter which city it is in, involves intricate and complicated interests, and the involvement is very deep. "

"If you dare to sell potions casually on the street, if you are lucky, you will be able to sell a few... Then you will be reported, thrown into prison and eaten with rats for a month."

"Let's get rid of unrealistic thoughts, the most suitable use of the potion is to keep it for your own use."

Roy felt a little regretful after hearing this, but he thought that if he was willing to work hard to develop relationships, he should be able to make money, but that would take a lot of time, so it would be better to be a businessman directly.

"If stored properly, this bottle of potion will be valid for nearly a month." Lei Suo began to urge again, "Continue now, make about five, and it will be enough for the road."

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Under the strict supervision of the demon hunter, after dozens of attempts, Roy successfully refined five potions of calendula flowers of varying quality. The improvement in alchemy efficiency was extremely slow. In the beginning, it might have been successful once in ten times, but now it is almost nine times.

It's just the opposite of Lei Suo's level.

Roy could also understand, after all, he only spent a few days refining the potion, so naturally he couldn't compare with the decades of experience of the demon hunters.Moreover, "Alchemy" has not yet been introduced, and no skills have been formed in the template.

This is probably a long process.

Roy's alchemy practice class came to an end temporarily.

The demon hunter began to take over the alchemy platform, refining potions, alchemy bombs, and the prodrug of the green herbal reagent prepared for him.

He was not idle either, as an assistant, he was responsible for the preliminary treatment of herbs.

"Five ounces of shade-dried white chrysanthemum, ground into powder, and one ounce of water ghost, ground into powder, remembering the precautions I have emphasized."

Lei Suo kept a stern face and kept spit out instructions one after another. His facial features were as cold as stone carvings, and various light alchemy instruments were smoothly switched in his thick palm.

In front of the alchemy platform, the majestic figure formed a strong contrast with the dexterous fingers.The witcher is like a brilliant master of oil painting, creating a wonderful painting.

Roy, on the other hand, became a "puppet" with a clockwork tightened, moving non-stop from morning to night in the narrow and dark alchemy room.

An ordinary person might have been dizzy for a long time, but thanks to his mental attributes beyond ordinary people, he can stay focused for a long time without feeling overly tired.

Only after he personally participated in the whole process did he understand the difference between potion refining and potion refining.

Taking the simplest and most commonly used "swallow" by demon hunters as an example, the only materials involved are white chrysanthemum and water ghost brain.The steps include drying in the shade, crushing, heating, distilling, reheating... Dozens of steps, each step is very particular, even if there is a slight mistake or a trembling finger.The final product is absolutely defective.

A crucial step, after bottling the boiled liquid medicine, the witcher holds it with both hands, closes his eyes and enters a state of meditation.

At this time, Roy could faintly feel that there seemed to be some invisible communication between Lei Suo and the bottle of potion, which involved the level of magic power.In fact, it was Lei Suo who was using the magic power in his body to reconcile the potion, so that the water in the bottle could finally stabilize.

Without this link, the potion can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.

……

In the day and night of alchemy, Roy almost forgot the passage of time. When he first refined the "Swallow" potion, he was still familiar with a few steps.

Afterwards, when he started to mix sword oil, alchemy bombs, and prodrugs, his eyes became dark and his mind became a mess.

There are too many processes involved, too complicated.This part of the content is definitely beyond his current alchemy level, so he simply gave up thinking and simply followed the demon hunter's instructions.

Although he only learned one type of calendula potion, his familiarity with alchemy equipment has greatly increased during the busy time working as a demon hunter's assistant.These will lay a solid foundation for further study of alchemy in the future.

I don't know how long it took, five days, or a week.After the demon hunter refined two bottles of "Swallows", two "Anti-Magic Metal Bombs", and another pile of potions.

Suddenly let Roy leave the alchemy room to move freely and relax for a day.

Roy was relieved from the tense work that was almost suffocated and did not dare to breathe, and his mind became a little more active.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the witcher took out a finger-thick glass bottle filled with some kind of liquid and put it in front of him.

"This is a pre-drug specially refined for you." Lei Suo's amber pupils stared at his black eyes, and said slowly, "Drinking for a long time will make your body gradually adapt to the toxicity of the potion. Drinking grass potion is a good way to fight against it." Good base."

Hearing the word "toxic", Roy's face turned pale.

"No wonder it makes me relax for a day. Before the death row inmates are executed, they also have a decapitated meal."

Even though he seemed indifferent to the dangers of the Green Grass Trial, out of self-protection instinct, he refused to drink these highly poisonous substances in his heart.

"Don't worry, brat, with your current physique, it is enough to withstand the toxicity of the predrug." Lei Suo took a panoramic view of his expression, and rarely encouraged him, "Except for short-term pain, it will never To leave you with any sequelae, this is the conclusion of countless experiments."

"Drinking this stuff, will I be able to pass the grass test in the future?" Roy held the transparent glass bottle up to the light, and suddenly found that the pre-medication of the grass test is not as simple in color and pure as ordinary medicines.

Instead, it is filled with dense algae-like and parasite-like green filaments, and the overall appearance is turbid and heavy black, and it is thick and thick, which makes people panic.

"There is no absolute reason for everything in the world?" Lei Suo said truthfully, "I can only tell you that once you get through this slow and painful process, your chances of surviving the Grass Trial will be greatly increased."

"How painful will it be?" Roy took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down.

"Did you know that women give birth to children?"

"Why do you ask?"

"According to Visgedli's test records, taking the prodrug is about as painful as giving birth to a woman..."

Roy was silent, and the words "women give birth" were automatically blocked in his mind.He began to wonder if he could hold on.

A will of 5.8, a physique of 5.5, higher than ordinary people?should be no problem?

"The Viper Academy has not produced fresh blood for nearly 20 years. If the grass trial fails this time..."

Lei Suo's tone became lower, and he covered his shoulders with warm and heavy palms, as if containing some kind of magical power, which made him calm down quickly. "So, I hope you have the courage to drink the former medicine."

"Actually, according to the original plan, you will use the prodrug for the first time half a year later." Lei Suo also had doubts in his eyes. "Perhaps you are a bit too precocious, and your physical fitness has reached my standard half a year earlier."

Of course Roy knew the reason, ordinary people don't have attribute points.

"Don't carry too much psychological burden, I'll give you two more days to prepare."

"Can you not drink?"

"Ok?"

"I'm joking." Roy forced a smile, and his face recovered a little blood. The matter has come to this point, so there is no room for regret, not to mention that this was in his plan, and he chose the demon hunter. There is no way, no matter how painful it is, we must endure it.

The prodrug can increase the survival rate of the grass trial, how can one not drink it?

"There's no need to wait another two days, it's today."

Under the supervision of the demon hunter, Roy took a potion and shook it lightly, but he didn't take it immediately. Instead, he squatted on the ground and began to meditate to get rid of distracting thoughts and relax his body and mind.
