Chapter 97 Potion Master Assistant Examination!
Inside Locke's residence.
Loke looked at the two gems in front of him and fell into deep thought. There was a gem placed on the table. It was a dark blue diamond. This was a diamond that he synthesized using two grade 6 dark sapphires and a grade 6 diamond.
Locke saw its entry——
【Dark sapphire, a variant of deep sapphire that can only be found deep in extremely deep underground veins. Dark sapphire has swallowed up the raw diamond ore, resulting in a mutation. A different version of the Deep Sapphire, its mana filtering performance is more than ten times that of the Deep Sapphire, and its durability is far beyond that of the Deep Sapphire. A single Deep Sapphire can stabilize its owner's mana and produce filtering effects, reducing the user's mana fluctuations to incredible levels. 】
Locke used a diamond necklace to hide this special gemstone. He put the gemstone into a special space on the inside of the diamond necklace.
This kind of diamond, unless you actively inject mana, it is impossible to find anything special. After all, it itself is similar to a mana filtering container.
Hence, Locke doesn’t need to worry, someone will find it.
Locke tried to use his magic power, his expression changed slightly. "Wearing this deep sapphire diamond, the stability of my magic power is even several times higher than before. I can almost make the magic power prohibitive."
Locke tried to use the magic flame technology. The biggest difficulty of the Potions Assistant is how to use magic flames skillfully and switch between various elemental fire sources smoothly during the refining process. At least one must be able to switch between five kinds of magic flames skillfully before one can skillfully refine potions at the level of a Potions Assistant.
In this process, the stability and accuracy of mana are the most important things.
Locke snapped his fingers. First, there was a 1,400-degree wood element magic flame. A ball of blue flame burned and swayed at his fingertips.
Wood elemental flame has the softest nature and is the most commonly used flame by potions masters. If you don't know how to do this, you can't say you are studying potions.
Next, Locke's fingertips turned into a thousand-degree fire element magic flame, and the cyan flame turned into a red flame.
Fire element has explosive properties and is often used when extracting medicinal ingredients.
The temperature of the fire element flame is relatively low, but this makes it easier to extract the special ingredients in the material, otherwise the magic flame will destroy the medicinal materials.
Locke's expression remained unchanged, and he continuously turned the flames on his fingertips into water elemental flames - blue magic flames, wind elemental flames - pale magic flames, and earth elemental flames - earthy yellow magic flames.
Wood elemental flame, earth elemental flame, fire elemental flame, wind elemental flame, water elemental flame, these flames are all magic flames, mana flames that cannot be easily extinguished by mortal water.
Each has its own characteristics.
Water element has the lowest flame temperature and is suitable for low-temperature extraction of internal components of medicinal materials.
The wind element has the highest flame temperature and is suitable for obtaining certain ingredients through violence.
The earth elemental flame has a temperature of only 800 and is mild in nature. It is suitable for neutralizing polar magic flames, containing extreme ingredients in medicines, eliminating drug toxicity, and reducing the toxicity of refined medicines.
These five magic flames are the five types of flames that a potion assistant should at least master first. Locke originally learned it very slowly. If he wants to be fully proficient in using it, it will probably take five to ten years to fully learn it.
But now, with the blessing of the Deep Sapphire Diamond, the stability of his mana has been further improved.
The magic flames at his fingertips are changing faster and faster.
Locke looked at the magic flame and fell into thought. "Having the deep sapphire diamond will speed up my process of becoming a potion master's assistant."
"At the potion master's assistant stage, the most important talent is the stability of mana, because at this stage, the potion master only needs to follow the formula step by step to make potions."
"For the identification of medicinal properties, the demand for formula development is very low."
Locke said: "I only need to compress the switching speed of the five magic flames to less than 3 seconds, and I can start to officially refine medium-difficulty potions."
Medium-difficulty potions, that is, potions at the potion master's assistant level, generally have quite complex properties and may require skilled switching of more than three types of magic flames.
Of course, during the assessment, you still have to assess the switching speed and mastery of the five common magic flames.
This is the basic skill.
Locke had confidence in his eyes. "Becoming a Potions Assistant as soon as possible, I can prepare high-grade fast-acting gels, high-grade nutrient soils, and nutrient solutions, and I can save a lot of money."
"Becoming a Potions Assistant, I might also be able to get a new way to earn magic stones. The potions I refine myself can be further synthesized to improve the effect, and they should soon be able to feed back my spiritual growth progress, and even feed back my studies in the field of breeders."
「育种领域到了后面，会需要大量的高级药剂，许多育种师只能去魔药师那边用魔石购买。」
他现在每个月的花费都要小三千，所以要积极扩大收入途径。
Also, whether in the field of meditation or breeding, a large number of high-level pharmaceuticals are needed. If you can refine them yourself, you can save a lot of costs and synthesize them better.
Locke has also always been concerned about what the so-called necessary potion needed to advance to the official wizard's level mentioned by Witch Sophia.
Perhaps, becoming a potion master's assistant will allow you to get in touch with that field earlier.
Locke calmed down and prepared to go to the Chimera Market to buy a batch of meditation ointment training materials to learn how to refine the meditation ointment.
…
Two months later, the Potions Assistant Examination Certification in Lilith’s Cottage was held.
Locke quickly filled out the potions-related questions and handed them to the official wizard in front of him, Mr. Derek Jones.
Mr. Derek Jones is a first-level potion master, and his representative work is the first-level Thousand-faced Potion.
The Thousand-Faced Potion has even entered the textbook of Sassari's All Things Course. It is a potion that can permanently change the breath and appearance of the soul after being taken.
This type of auxiliary potion has many uses, and there are even many escapist wizards who need to use them to completely separate themselves from their past.
Of course I am not the only one who is undergoing this certification. I applied for the Potions Assistant Examination Certification, and then waited for a while. I just waited until the number of applicants reached three before I got the opportunity to take the assessment.
Furthermore, the fee for applying for the assessment is five hundred magic stones.
In addition to myself, one of the people participating in the assessment this time was an old first-class wizard apprentice from Lilith's cabin, and the last person was a first-class wizard apprentice from a nearby small wizard organization.
Those small wizard organizations are not qualified to conduct assessments, and the outside world will not recognize their assessment results.
If they want to take the Potions Assistant Certification Examination, they must go to a relatively large wizarding organization like Lilith's Cabin to take the assessment.
In front of them, in addition to wizard Derrick Jones, there were actually two other wizards.
The assessment of Potion Assistants is already relatively strict, so those responsible for the assessment must have three official wizards, one of whom must have a Potion Master badge.
This is also the reason why many small wizard organizations are not qualified to conduct assessments.
The official wizard Derrick Jones glanced at the three answer sheets, and then snorted. "The foundations of the three of you are a bit weak. Forget it, you can barely pass."
"The next step is the magic flame transformation test."
The two people beside Locke looked very nervous. The passing rate of the Potions Assistant test has never been very high.
Many people are close to passing the test in private, but once they arrive in the examination room, under the cross glances of the three official wizards, some people will be unable to calm down and cannot show their strength at all.
Then he failed the assessment.
Locke is not very nervous. Of course, his answer score will not be very high. After all, the study time is short.
Generally, when first-class wizard apprentices come for the examination, they have already studied potions for several years, but I have only studied for more than two years.
However, the next two tests are my strengths. As long as I can pass this first round, the subsequent magic flame test and the actual operation of preparing potions will not be a problem.
Wizard Derek Jones, as well as the other two official wizards, set their sights on the first-class wizard apprentice in Lilith's cabin who was the first to undergo the magic flame assessment.
After watching his magic flame switch, Wizard Derek Jones frowned, and after writing down his score, reprimanded: "Bate, you are a student of our Lilith cabin after all."
"Are you going to be tested at this level? Wasting your magic stones, or not? You're wasting our time..."
"The switching speed of your magic flame is about 5 seconds. If you are taking the test at this level, you are really not afraid that your crucible will be boiled and exploded by your magic flame."
Bete's face was pale and he bowed to the three official wizards. "I'm sorry, I can usually do it. I'm just too nervous..."
"My latest job requires a certificate as a Potion Master's Assistant, and I need that job too, so..."
Wizard Derek Jones snorted coldly. "This is no reason."
"It really embarrasses our Lilith House in front of outsiders."
