the only savior

Chapter 932 Side Effects of Improved Potion
A newcomer who has just been exposed to alchemy for a day, unexpectedly directly simplified a basic alchemy potion that has been passed down for thousands of years.

If she hadn't seen this with her own eyes, Yi Fei wouldn't believe it, so it's no wonder she had this reaction.

Compared with the other party's confusion and amazement, Zhang Xiaoman, who is the person involved, seemed much calmer.

Whether others know it or not, can he still not know it himself?

Although he only studied for one day on the surface, who knows how many times he has activated quicksand between fingers during this day.

Almost every time the dark energy is fully charged, it will be used once, for several hours at a time.

At the end of the day, the time he spent in the quicksand between his fingers was at least equivalent to others studying non-stop for more than a month.

Use one day as a month, which is why he is confident in quickly mastering alchemy.

Of course, if you want to be truly proficient, simply relying on this method is not enough.

Even for many alchemy geniuses, if they want to reach the level of a high-level alchemist, a few years are not enough.

And the reason why Zhang Xiaoman was able to create the miracle in Yifei's eyes is actually related to his affinity for dark energy.

In his perception, he could clearly sense the changes in the dark spiritual power of these medicines when they were boiled in the crucible.

He may not be able to perceive ordinary herbs, but those potions that contain spiritual power are easy to capture.

Especially with the combination of his spiritual vision skills, the changes in the spiritual power of those medicinal materials could not escape his eyes.

It's like this bottle of spirit potion right now.

It is because Zhang Xiaoman discovered that after these three materials are mixed, the medicinal properties of them will neutralize each other and cancel each other out, causing them to not exert any substantial effect at all.

Maybe it's because people in this world are too rudimentary about the application of dark spiritual power, and they don't have spells like spiritual vision.

Or most of the alchemists are ordinary people without magic power, at most they are low-level professionals who have mastered elemental power, and they can't reach the level of dark energy.

So in such a long history of alchemy development, no one has discovered the disadvantages of this potion.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't know how to explain to this girl.

For a person who cannot perceive dark energy, if you tell her how to experience the changes of dark spiritual energy in objects, there is no way to communicate with her.

In the end, he could only explain it with the simplest two words, that is talent.

Yi Fei was also completely hit at this time.

Her mood is complicated.

I have been called a genius of alchemy since I was a child, but I only know today what it means to have people beyond people and heaven beyond heaven.

Seeing myself being easily surpassed in what I do best is really frustrating.

But other than that, Iffy was also very excited.

She was excited about the success of the improvement of the spirit potion, which was an achievement enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

It is not that no one has improved potions before, but this is the first time that the three basic potions have been created by Master Brin.

"So that's the case, I said why you reduced the amount of [-] grams when you put in the Cucuta powder just now. It turned out that the neutralizing effect of tree essential oil and stachyus was missing, resulting in a corresponding dosage going down!"

"These two ingredients are potions. Stachys is fine, and the price is not very high, but tree essential oil is selling very expensive now. The reason seems to be that the number of tree spirits is decreasing. I was worried that if there is no What should we do with our spiritual potion after losing the dryad..."

"It's all right now, without the expense of these two materials, we can save a full third of the cost after the bottle of spirit potion is finished! My God! You are really the most talented alchemist I have ever seen in my life people!"

"..."

While Yifei summed up Zhang Xiaoman's operation steps just now, she was still thinking about how much cost she could save by doing so. The more she counted, the brighter the little stars in her eyes would be.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoman picked up the bottle of potion he refined just now, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Although the contents of this small bottle have just passed the test of Yi Fei, a senior alchemist, and it is confirmed that it is an effective medicine.

But this is also the first time he has really refined the finished product outside of the state of quicksand between his fingers, at least he has to try it himself.

only……

Looking at the green medicinal liquid in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't swallow his mouth no matter what.

Especially when he thought of the eyes of a blue field frog in the ingredients used to boil the medicinal liquid, he lost his appetite even more.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaoman stopped thinking about those unpleasant things, and drank the potion.

The entrance is a slightly green taste, not as bad as imagined.

But with those potions entering his throat, Zhang Xiaoman only felt a strong pungent stench filling his mouth, and finally even his nose was full of this disgusting smell.

This feeling is like eating the most pungent mustard oil, or the kind that eats a big bucket as soon as you eat it.

Even with Zhang Xiaoman's current physique, it was somewhat unbearable.

If it were those ordinary mages who ate it, I'm afraid they would have to take off in place.

He now understands why there is such a thing as stachyion in this potion formula.

Because this potion has the effect of a powerful deodorant, properly adding a part of it to the material ratio can effectively reduce the stench caused by the blue field frog's eyeballs.

But fortunately, although the medicine stinks, the effect is still very good. Zhang Xiaoman can clearly feel that his mental strength has improved a little.

According to his current quantitative ratio, this bottle of spiritual potion can increase his mental power by about 5 points.

Tell Yi Fei about this discovery, and the latter also showed a surprised expression after hearing about it.

"So that's the case? But I've never heard of the reason why the stamens are put in. I always thought it was put in because it can improve a small amount of mental power...

"However, although the blue field frog's eyeballs are very smelly, it's not impossible to swallow... Could it be that the cucuta pollen has strengthened the irritation...?"

"Oh, although the formula of the spirit potion has been handed down, many original manuscripts are still lost. It really made people take a lot of detours..."

"..."

The girl muttered for a while, then raised her head and looked at Zhang Xiaoman expectantly.

"Mr. Jixing, may I also use your method to make a spiritual potion..."

"of course can."

"Thank you!"

After Yifei thanked her, she immediately cleaned up the crucible in a hurry, and then started to cook it using Zhang Xiaoman's method.

It has to be said that as a genius-level senior alchemist, the girl is still very powerful in her professional field.

Whether it is her cooking method or cooking speed, it is faster and more stable than Zhang Xiaoman just now.

It didn't take long for a bottle of fresh blue field frog eyeball spirit potion to come out.

Without tree essential oil and stachys, not only the cost of materials has been greatly reduced, but the cooking speed has also been improved a lot.

However, it is precisely because of these changes that the whole body is affected by a single hair, and there are higher requirements for the alchemist's ability to adapt to the situation.

If Yifei was not good enough, I am afraid it would not be possible to succeed in one go.

Zhang Xiaoman saw that she had cooled the potion, and impatiently put it in his mouth, it seemed that he also wanted to experience the effect of this new version of spiritual potion.

He wanted to remind the girl, after all, the smell of this thing was too strong.

Although it can't be smelled from the nose, once it enters the throat, the feeling is really driving people crazy.

However, before he could speak, Yi Fei had already put the potion into his mouth, as if someone was trying to snatch it from her.

"vomit!!"

In the next second, Yi Fei vomited out all the potion, not even the breakfast she had just eaten.

"Uh uh uh... ah ah!"

The girl pinched her throat and retched non-stop. Tears and snot bubbled her face, ruining her image as a lady.

"Hey……"

Zhang Xiaoman sighed, this girl might not be able to hold her head up in front of him from now on.

Sure enough, after the girl finally calmed down, when she faced him, her face was almost red to the base of her neck, her head was always lowered, and she didn't dare to look at him.

"Ahem, although this recipe can save some ingredients, but the side effects are too obvious. In my opinion, let's forget it and use the original recipe..."

Zhang Xiaoman broke the silence with his words.

Xu Shi heard the topic related to alchemy, Yifei finally came out of the state of embarrassment, and said eagerly.

"Ah! Please don't do this, sir! I, I actually feel fine...just now...just now it was mainly due to lack of mental preparation..."

"If, if you let me drink again, I will definitely not be the same as before...I promise..."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Xiaoman expectantly.

"Sir, I'm afraid you don't know that the simplification of potion ingredients is really important to us... Whether it's an alchemist or a professional, if you can save 30.00% in cost, I believe it's even No matter how bad it is, there must be many people willing to buy it..."

"So... I beg you, sir, please don't take back the right to use this spirit-improving medicine. It is really a good thing that can benefit everyone... This is also a good thing that can last forever... You, you again Think about it!"

"..."

Seeing her pleading appearance, Zhang Xiaoman was slightly taken aback.

"You already know the formula of this spiritual potion anyway. If you want to brew it, you can just do it directly. There is no need to ask for my consent."

He asked out his inner doubts.

After hearing this, Yifei's face became solemn, and she hurriedly said:
"Sir, how can I do it! This is an improved formula you developed. Even if I already know it, I can't refine it without your authorization. This is a matter of principle for alchemists!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"Yes! This is a condition that every alchemist must abide by."

"Then if you refine and use it directly, it doesn't seem to have any effect, so why ask me?"

"This, if this is the case... everyone will be ashamed! No one is willing to cooperate with such an alchemist, and he will even be banned from entering the Alchemist Association forever!"

Zhang Xiaoman understands that there is no such thing as a patent in this world, but the method similar to hidden rules mentioned by the other party is indeed such a behavior.

There may not be corresponding legal provisions for the time being, but maybe in a few decades, the corresponding patent laws will emerge as the times require.

It's just that the current thinking in this world is a bit too much.

Even if it is the patent law, it only prohibits buying and selling transactions, and there is no problem in doing it alone at home.

"Mr. Pole Star...I know this request is a bit presumptuous...but your improvement is really important, I don't want you to disclose it unconditionally...I just beg you not to bury this improved formula...the spirit As one of the three basic medicines, medicine is used in a very high amount, if it can be promoted, I believe it can affect countless people!"

"If you agree, I can serve as an assistant to help you contact the Alchemy Association and the shops in the city. At that time, every time the potion is sold, a sum of money will be recorded, and finally transferred to you through the Alchemist Association ..."

"However, since you are not the original creator of the potion, the money may not be a lot, but the sales of spiritual potions are large, so there should be a lot of money in the end..."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, but let's not be in a hurry for now, it won't be too late to be busy after you finish the latest course."

Hearing that he agreed to authorize the opening of the spirit-improving potion, Iffy was overjoyed immediately, and even forgot about the embarrassment she had just made.

……

This matter has come to an end for the time being, and the alchemy course of the two can continue.

What Yifei didn't know was that all this was just the beginning.

In the next few days, she saw what a real alchemy genius was, and also saw all kinds of new medicines improved by this genius.

Just as planned, the learning process lasted a total of ten days.

During this period, Zhang Xiaoman stayed in the residence provided by the Mercenary Association, never leaving for half a step.

And the association also helped him stop countless people who wanted to visit, even the vice president of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, Ogmondu, was stopped.

Although he was a strong man of the seventh rank, the strength of the Mercenary Association was even stronger, and there were only three of the eighth rank masters sitting in this city.

Out of respect for big customers, without Zhang Xiaoman's consent, even if Fox, the president of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, came in person, then don't want to meet anyone.
