Chapter 176 Configuring Bear Spirit Bile Potion

  Chapter 176 Configuring the Spirit Bear Bile Potion

  After completing the actual combat data inspection of the Eye of Perseus, Locke immediately spent eight hours and quickly wrote four articles.

 One is a magic plant data report submitted to Lilith's cabin's combat department for participation in the competition; one is a research report on magic plants that defend against a specific magic - curse magic; one is a practical manipulation method that uses magic vines and grafting to cultivate the ability to defend against magic counterattacks by magic plants, as well as various techniques to improve the success rate of this method.

 The last article is the purification ability of the Eye of Perseus when it reflects curse magic, and its specific mechanism of damage to vampires.

In short, one experiment and one product can produce a bunch of high-value articles. Locke can even assign some of the less important parts to his three students who teach, so that they can also get some low-scoring articles.

 Locke has already examined Howard who was in a coma and confirmed that the purifying energy of plant magic causes damage to vampires based on two forms of damage.

  One is a structure similar to sacred magic, and the other is a structure similar to dispelling magic.

 Locke, after repeatedly considering the sentence, wrote at the end of the article, "The purifying energy of the Eye of Perseus is more similar to the restraint of undead creatures such as vampires by life magic. It is a natural evolution that occurs after life adapts to the concept of vampire curse." 』

“This purifying energy is similar to holy magic, causing burning and other damage to vampires, but compared to holy magic, this damage will be softer; it also has dispersing properties that holy magic does not have, that is, it can dispel the blood curse energy entangled in the vampire’s blood, allowing the vampire’s blood to return to its original state.  

   That means returning to a state close to human blood. 』

    『I think the emergence of the Eye of Perseus proves that the natural environment will automatically adapt to this kind of magic and develop corresponding restraint mechanisms after being devastated by negative energy magic for a long time. This is part of the natural ecological chain. The Eye of Perseus lichen itself is proof of this possibility. 』

Locke’s last paragraph is intended to propose a future development direction in the article, that is, based on continued research on the Eye of Perseus lichen, it may be possible to develop a magic plant system that specifically restrains curse magic, and even the ecological environment, and derives a series of plant magic that specifically restrains curses.

 Of course, this direction is too big, and it is impossible for one person to do it with his current ability.

 Locke never thought about doing it right away. He just sublimated his status as the Eye of Perseus at the end of the article.

 Just think about it, there is no limit to this kind of thing.

 But this kind of thing can enhance the value of the Eye of Perseus lichen in the eyes of general scholars and people who read this article.

Also, try to improve the evaluation score of this article as much as possible.

 The difference between Grade B and Grade A is huge.

  There are many people who have published many B-level articles, but they don’t even have one A-level article.

  And this idea is just a simple inspiration at the moment. Maybe someone will read this article in the future and happen to have relevant interests or foundations, so they can implement their ideas thoroughly.

 This is also the significance of the article system of the white wizard society.

 After writing these four articles, Locke stood up and stretched his muscles. He was about to go to bed, but when he looked up, he found that it was already dawn outside the window, and there was the sound of roosters crowing.

“It’s actually so late, it’s already the next morning.” Locke rubbed his temples. Although wizards’ mental power is very strong, they can sustain it even if they don’t sleep for several months.

 However, there is a serious warning in the meditation method. During the meditation method, it is best to sleep for ten days a month.

 Otherwise, there will be a mutation crisis of [Sleeping Ghost].

 As a result, he finished writing four articles and went directly to the next day, so Locke didn't want to sleep.

 In any case, even if I miss a day of sleep for a month and only sleep for nine days, it won't have much impact.

 One should not get too hung up on such details.

"But sleep is still very important." Locke rubbed his forehead and said, "In that case, let's finish refining the spirit bear bile potion first."

"This potion should be the most complicated potion I have, besides refining the secondary emerald green potion."

 "I can write a few more articles."

 Locke has now entered a period of rapid development of producing articles quickly. The research content accumulated in the past six months will quickly produce many results during this period, and these results can be transformed into many high-scoring articles.

 Locke first went to the plantation, collected an emerald iris lichen and an Eye of Perseus, and then returned to his simple laboratory.

There is a set of simple laboratories in the academy. The academy is equipped with benefits for first-class wizard apprentices. It is a set of simple basic potion refining equipment. Although it is not very convenient to use, it is enough for experiments.

 Locke skillfully cut two emerald iris lichen strains (and one variant) into pieces in the laboratory, squeezed the juice, and used layer column elemental separation equipment to separate the main magical structural components of the two emerald iris lichen strains from the mixed liquid, further improving the quality of extraction.

  In fact, this step is not necessary.

   To prepare Bear Spirit Bile Potion, it is not necessary to separate the main active ingredients from the juice of Emerald Iris Lichen.

 But the Reeves family once gave him a set of layer column elemental separation equipment, so Locke used it conveniently.

 This can slightly improve the quality of the Xiong Spirit Bile Potion, which is considered an optimization process.

 This is the same type of operation as what Robert did before, optimizing the process of worm regeneration medicine to improve the quality of the medicine.

 Locke set up the crucible and snapped his fingers at the same time, and a ball of green wood elemental flame appeared under the crucible.

  Locke methodically added the various configuration materials for the Spirit Bear Bile Potion.

 At the same time, he silently memorized the key points of preparing this potion.

 The first thing is that this potion requires switching between three types of magic flames that all assistants must master, wood element magic flame, fire element magic flame and earth element magic flame. It also needs to use a magic flame that is not commonly used - air element magic flame.

Wood element magic flame is the most commonly used magic flame, fire element magic flame is used to extract the magic structural components from various materials, and earth element magic flame is used to remove the toxicity of various pharmaceutical materials as much as possible.

 But the most unique thing about the Bear Spirit Bile Potion is that it requires blending the two main materials, jade lichen juice and bear bile, and mixing the two ingredients into a new ingredient. This is the main ingredient of this potion.

 This requires the use of air element magic flame.
