Chapter 99 Potion Master Assistant Certificate!

 Locke snapped his fingers, and immediately a 1,400-degree wood elemental flame burned on the bracket below the crucible. The green flame was the mildest in nature.

  Only simple potions can be refined using mortal fire, and slightly more complex potions require the use of magic flames.

 Only magic flames can extract the natural magic ingredients in those medicinal materials, and use the different properties of magic flames to change these ingredients and prepare the potion effects desired by the magician.

 It can be said that in the process of refining potions, the material formula is one aspect, and how to control the temperature of the magic flame is also another aspect.

  To a certain extent, the heat and the recipe are equally important.

Ordinary wizards without relevant qualifications, even if they know the specific formula and gather all the materials, will never be able to refine a qualified potion because they cannot accurately grasp the heat and timing.

Locke put the honey and cowhide gel into the crucible first, and waited quietly for them to start boiling.

 Then, he poured the blue chrysalis powder and opal powder into it, and then waited quietly.

  Thirty seconds after the liquid in the crucible turned blue-green, Locke poured the sap of the Baiye tree into it, and then the magic flame at the bottom of the crucible suddenly turned red, which was the magic flame of the fire element.

  The liquid in the crucible began to boil violently as if it felt the violence of the fire element's flame magic.

 In Locke's mind, he recalled the key points of refining the Meditation Ointment.

  The main material of meditation ointment is actually silver leaf mint. Silver leaf mint contains several natural magic structures. These natural magic structures themselves have the effect of calming people and increasing concentration.

  In other words, there are many natural ingredients in the magic rune structure of the [Attention Concentration] enchantment model inside the magic plant like Silver Leaf Mint.

 In fact, many spell rune models were borrowed and optimized by wizards from the natural magic structure in the magic plant ingredients.

 This is also one of the basics of potions.

 Potion masters can refine potions with different effects through blending, modification, and extraction of the natural magical structural components within these different materials.

Locke now converts the magic flame into the fire element flame in order to better extract the different magical structural natural components in the materials in the crucible.

 After Locke waited for a minute, he skillfully placed a piece of silver leaf mint into the crucible, and then changed the magic flame from the fire elemental flame to the wood elemental flame.

 In the process of refining magic potion, the main function of the fire elemental flame is to better force the special natural magic structural components in the materials to flow out.

 But the natural magical structural components inside Silver Leaf Mint can easily be destroyed by too violent fire elemental flames, so Locke needs to change the magic flames to wood elemental magic flames.

 The effect of wood elemental magic flames in forcing out the natural magic structural components inside the material is not that good, but it is milder in nature, has no extreme characteristics, and can be compatible with almost all materials.

Locke waited another three minutes. After the liquid in the crucible turned silver-blue and exuded an intoxicating fragrance, Locke changed the wood element magic flame into the earth element magic flame.

 Under the influence of the earthy yellow flame, the liquid in the crucible gradually turned into a gel-like substance, similar to a plaster.

 Locke waited for a little more than five minutes, and then immediately extinguished the earth element magic flame. Because the refining work had been completed, he changed the magic flame on the stand into a water element magic flame.

The temperature of the water element magic flame is very low, only a mere 100 degrees. This can slowly cool down the crucible and reduce the impact of sudden temperature changes on the medicinal properties of the meditation ointment.

 This is actually a little trick that Witch Sophia taught herself. This little trick can probably improve the efficacy of the potion a little bit. Although it is not much, it is really useful.

  Many wizards do not pay much attention to this point during the refining process. After the refining is completed, the medicine is cooled quickly, resulting in a weak impact on the medicinal properties, but Sophia Witch has a different understanding of this.

  She believes that after the refining of most potions, the water elemental magic flame should be used to converge the medicinal properties in the final stage.

 This is also a good habit that many first-level potion masters will retain.

 The three official wizards, seeing this scene, nodded slightly.

 Wizard Derek Jones praised: "Good habits. Although your theoretical foundation is not very solid, in practical operation, the foundation is very good." . Of course, without enough mana stability, doing this last step is really tiring, which is why many potion master assistants will take the initiative to be lazy."

The reason why Locke can retain this little habit for a long time is because it is too easy for him to convert magic flames.

  Otherwise, if you have to concentrate every time you convert, it will be very tiring. The assistants of the potion master will indeed try to reduce the number of conversions of magic flames during the refining process.

 An hour later, all three of them had finished refining.

  Wizard Derek Jones first inspected the Meditation Ointment made by Locke. He first observed the appearance of the Meditation Ointment, then smelled the smell, and then said: "The quality is very high."

  "Your precise operation has made the quality of this Meditation Ointment at an above-average level. This is a wizard apprentice who has not yet passed the test of Potion Master's Assistant. A level that is rarely achieved." Wizard Derek Jones praised: "It seems that the Potion Master Assistant is just a stepping stone for your future. I hope you can continue to work hard."

Wizard Derek Jones returned the Meditation Ointment to Locke, "The Meditation Ointment distributed by the academy to second-class wizard apprentices is generally of a below-average level, and sometimes the quality is lower."

"If you become proficient in the technology of refining meditation ointment in large quantities in the future, you may be able to earn a stable amount of magic stones by accepting the task of refining meditation ointment for the academy, and even receive contribution points from the academy as a reward." The teacher saluted and said: "Thank you, Lord Jones for your advice."

 "I will keep up my efforts."

 Wizard Derek Jones smiled and nodded. Then he walked up to Gogor and checked the quality of the hemostatic ointment.

 "It's quite satisfactory."

 Wizard Derek Jones couldn't help but said: "The quality is a bit low."

 In Gogor's anxious eyes, Wizard Derek Jones still said: "Forget it for you."

Gogol breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of ecstasy in his eyes. He quickly bowed to Wizard Derek Jones, "Thank you, Lord Jones." He said: "Although it was successfully refined, the quality of such a simple potion is still so low."

  "Unqualified."

 Bete grimaced. He knew that the academy generally had higher requirements for its students than outside wizard apprentices, but when it really happened to him, he felt extremely depressed.

  Lilith's Cottage is, after all, the leader in potions science in the southeast corner, and its requirements for its first-class wizard apprentices will definitely be much higher than those of the outside world.

 Bate saluted Wizard Derek Jones and said, "Thank you, Teacher Jones, for your guidance. I...I...I will continue to work hard in the next exam."

 Wizard Derek Jones waved his hands and turned to leave. "The assessment is over, Locke Augustine and Gogor Harden. You two have passed the Potion Master's Assistant assessment and become the Potion Master's Assistant."

   "Congratulations to you two."

  "The field of Potions is vast. I hope you can improve your skills in this field, learn more things, and stand out in the future."
