Chapter 61 A Recognized Genius

Unsurprisingly, their Professor Snape was unusually late for this club activity.

But the young wizards who had experienced Snape's poisonous tongue did not slack off because of the professor's lateness, and started to study by themselves quite spontaneously.

They consciously went to get some crucibles and potion ingredients, and honestly began to brew the potion.

About a week has passed, and many people have new ideas during this period, so there will be some discussions from time to time.

Noah was still in the same group as Lu, but compared to the last time, Lu was obviously a lot more cautious this time. He didn't do it right away, but cautiously wrote down the potion formula first, and handed it to Noah for a look.

Noah, who has already read two books, is equivalent to having previewed the textbooks for the second and third grades. This formula is easy to understand.The only thing he lacks now is practice.

The formula is nothing special, quite satisfactory, but compared to the original formula, it only adds a little sneezeweed syrup, which is a blue viscous liquid extracted from a flowering plant called sneezeweed.

Although many sneezeweeds are poisonous, these extracts are unexpectedly not very toxic, and instead are a very good palliative medicinal material.

It is quite satisfactory, it should not have much impact on the effect of the medicine, but it will not improve it, at most it will ease the effect of the medicine.

Noah can only guess based on the existing materials, and he needs to cook a pot to see how it goes.

After confirming for the second time from Noah that there would be no conflicting materials, Lu planned to start brewing the potion.

He had just set up the cauldron when the door of the classroom was suddenly opened, and Professor Snape walked in swiftly.

The late professor's expression was more gloomy than ever. He glanced at the people in the classroom and walked to the podium: "I'm late, sorry. You are still a little self-conscious."

Even an apology still seemed blunt, sounding more perfunctory than an apology.

But no one would express dissatisfaction with this. Students who can come here know what this professor represents.

However, this professor's temper is indeed very bad, and it is common to vent anger or something, but he is never stingy in teaching, at most, his mouth is too poisonous.

Professor Snape was quite satisfied with this, so his expression softened a little.

Now show me what you have done for a week, and you have two hours.

A group of little wizards nodded, and quickly started today's potion brewing.

Noah originally planned to be with Lu, but he was named.

"Lannister, come here."

Noah glanced at his senior partner, put down the potion ingredients in his hand, and walked to the podium.

Of course, when he left, he also took the two primary potions books with him.

"I remember I said that I will check your progress." Professor Snape motioned him to put the book down, and stood up to wait for the question.

Noah obediently complied.

"Recipe for sobriety potion."

"Snake teeth, wolfbane aconitum, dry billywig stinger, standard ingredients."

"Tell me one use of the collard plant."

"It can be used to make beauty potions."

"If I wanted to make a shrinking potion, which part of the mouse would I take?"

"Spleen of a mouse."

"What material is there?"

"Shrinking Fig, Daisy Root, Caterpillar, Wormwood, Leech, Hemlock Essence."

At this point in the question, Professor Snape stopped asking, and his habitual eyes stared at Noah like this: "Excellent memory."

He said again: "Memorizing the knowledge of two potion books in a week is not a bad feat. But if you feel proud because of this, then you'd better not show it in front of me."

"Nobody hates a genius, but," he paused, "a genius requires more than a memory, I hope you know that."

"Yes, professor." Noah listened humbly without showing any arrogance.

Professor Snape withdrew his gaze: "Now you can go to brew the potion."

Noah was about to go back when he heard him say, "You make a pot yourself."

"Okay, Professor." Noah understood what Snape meant.

He didn't have to stick with Lu, Snape let him try to improve the formula himself.

Ordinary antidote, although it was only boiled by looking at the road before, but Noah has also seen the changes in the brewing of the potion.

After that, he also borrowed a lot of related books from the library, and found fourteen improved formulas of this common potion, and he did have a little idea about it.

At present, most of the improvement methods are to change a certain flavor material or to increase or decrease certain materials, and the effect of the modification is also strange.

But there is one material that no one has ever tried to change, and that is - standard ingredients.

As a compound material that can be applied to many kinds of potions, its function is probably like the compound spices that Tuchao must put in when cooking. The wizard who brews potions does not need to know the specific ingredients and proportions of these materials. Just put it in when you need it.

However, Noah has carefully studied this compounding material, and found that although these materials can be widely used, in fact, the ratio of certain potions can be slightly changed.

So Noah decided to start here.

Of course, he would not be foolish enough to remake a standard ingredient with a changed ratio, he only needs to slightly increase the amount of several single materials on the basis of the original.

It's not very difficult, at most it is more time-consuming to grind.

But two hours is enough.

When Noah started to take the materials, the other little wizards couldn't help casting their eyes frequently.

Seeing him re-reading the cauldron, the other young wizards guessed what Snape had just said to him.

Professor Snape actually admitted the strength of a first-year little wizard, and let him directly start trying to improve potions? !

They were all allowed to try potion improvement after participating in a semester of study. This first-year little wizard only came to one event!

Is this genius?A genius that even Professor Snape acknowledged?

The eyes of the young wizards looking at Noah gradually became meaningful.

Noah didn't pay attention to other people's eyes at all. He carefully measured the measurement of materials and added them one by one in strict accordance with the standards. Snape was quite satisfied with his attitude of being prepared.

So Professor Snape stood directly beside Noah, giving various instructions in a growling manner from time to time.

Noah remained calm the whole time, Professor Snape kept a cold face the whole time, and the other young wizards abruptly saw the "harmony" between the two.

Other little wizards: "..."

Probably because their eyes became more and more blatant, Professor Snape cast his gaze impatiently: "See if I can improve your potions? Or do you expect me to teach you by hand?"
