Chapter 10 Unusual Talent
Hybrid needs to be ground into powder.
Sage needs to be boiled. Add a large cup of water (8 ounces) into a crucible and boil together until only 1 ounce remains. Then use this 1 ounce of juice.
Gaode estimated that 1 ounce was approximately equal to 30 milliliters in his world.
The treatment of the green spider sac is much simpler, just puncture it and extract the venom.
This step was completed by Gaode with the hands of a mage.
Because although the toxicity of green spider venom is mainly paralysis, it is still slightly corrosive. If you accidentally get it on your hands, it will still be a bit troublesome.
After all the materials have been processed, the last step is to combine the medicinal power of all the materials. This is also the most important step in preparing the medicine.
Gothe took a deep breath, took out a conical potion bottle from the shelf on the table, "expertly" poured the juice boiled from sagebrush into the bottle, and then added 5 ounces of honey water.
He shook the potion bottle slightly, and after the liquid inside was completely integrated, he quickly poured most of the gray-green powder ground into the bottle.
As soon as the Snake Tooth Herbal Powder was added, the liquid in the bottle began to boil violently, and its color gradually began to change.
Gothe released his mental power again and stared at the potion bottle.
Strange ripples appeared in his field of vision again.
Only this time, the ripples are constantly intertwining and merging, changing constantly.
He carefully observed the changes in the ripples, and added snake fang herbal powder from time to time according to the actual situation, trying to control the final state of the ripples to shape in the direction he needed.
Snake tooth herbal powder should be neither too much nor too little, and a certain degree must be grasped. If it is too much, a little honey water needs to be added immediately to neutralize it. If it is too little, it must be replenished immediately.
To put it bluntly, this process means that if there is too much water, add noodles, and if there is too much noodles, add water.
It's just that the operation is not that easy. On the one hand, Gothe needs to concentrate on observing the changes in the ripples. On the other hand, it requires him to have an absolute understanding of the properties of the material and know how much material to add under what circumstances is the most appropriate.
After experiencing the failure to grasp the amount of Snake Tooth Herbal Powder several times before and the potion almost failed, Gaode finally calmed down from the rush, and the preparation of the potion was nearing completion.
When the last drop of green spider venom was dropped into the medicine bottle, the constantly rolling liquid gradually calmed down.
Humblingly visible, a gray-green magical light flashed through the liquid.
This is a sign of successful preparation of the primary spider poison potion. If you master the trick: [Detect Magic], you can see this magical aura in the potion again.
Gaode looked at the slightly green liquid in the potion bottle, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart.
Elementary spider poison potion, level 0 potion, has a strong paralysis effect and is non-lethal. It is usually bought and smeared on arrows to deal with ferocious beasts.
He couldn't wait to take down three more obviously smaller conical potion bottles from the shelf on the side, and then poured the newly prepared primary spider poison potion into them.
A basic spider poison potion prepared with a standard formula can be divided into three small bottles for sale. This sale is more profitable for the potion master and easier for buyers to accept.
Just after Gaode filled the three small potion bottles, he discovered that there was still about one-half ounce of potion left in the large potion bottle in his hand.
According to his memory, a standard formula of primary spider poison potion is enough for three small bottles, and a small bottle of primary spider poison potion is only 2 ounces. How could there be so much left.
"Unless it is"
A thought suddenly flashed in Gothe's mind.
The next moment, he immediately started searching in the small workshop.
Finally, Gaode dug out a wooden box from the bottom of the shelf.
In the wooden box are three small bottles of primary spider poison potion, six gold coins that shine with a charming color, and dozens of scattered silver and copper coins.
Gaode's heart beat violently.
There is no doubt that this is a huge amount of money.
In this world's monetary system, the most basic currency is copper coins.
Here, the actual purchasing power of 1 copper coin is equivalent to the four yuan before Gaode traveled through, plus a fraction of two cents more.
The second layer of the monetary system is silver coins.
One silver coin is equal to 12 copper coins, which is about the purchasing power of fifty yuan.
Gold coins are at the top of the monetary system. One gold coin can be exchanged for 20 silver coins, and the actual purchasing power is about one thousand yuan.
Furthermore, silver coins and copper coins are not necessarily universal among different countries due to differences in coinage techniques, materials used, and the country's own national strength. The actual purchasing power also varies greatly in different regions. However, because gold coins are directly linked to gold, these two problems do not exist.
It is universal and has similar value.
Gothe picked up a gold coin with a charming color. The gold was shining and dazzled a bit. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and fell in love with it.
His area is the Principality of Xi'an.
The gold coins currently used by the Principality of Xi'en are scientifically called Xi'en gold coins, which is easy to understand.
The front of the Xi'en gold coin shows the face of the founding Duke of Xi'en, and the reverse side shows a rooster, so people privately call it "clucking" or "little rooster".
"What a cute little rooster!" Gothe admired the exquisite rooster pattern on the back of the Sean gold coin and couldn't help but sigh.
This is definitely not because he is greedy for money, he just simply likes chickens!
He defended himself in his mind.
After admiring the charming "little cock" for dozens of seconds, Gothe picked up another silver coin.
The front image of the silver coin of the Principality of Xi'an still shows the face of the founding prince, but the back is replaced by a three-leaf flower, so it is called the three-leaf flower silver coin.
Gaode carefully counted and found a total of 6 gold coins, 7 silver coins and 14 round copper coins.
Equivalent to 6,400 yuan before he traveled through time.
It doesn’t seem like there are many.
But you must know that in this world, under normal circumstances, the minimum living expenses for a family of five is only 57 gold coins a year, and this is based on the need to pay rent.
If you have your own house, your annual living expenses can even be reduced to less than 45 gold coins.
It is absolutely incredible that an apprentice who was born as a beggar could accumulate such a huge sum of money in such a high-pressure environment - after all, apprentices do not receive any compensation for doing things for Master Seda.
The previous memory of the source of the money was not left to Gaode, but Gaode already understood everything at this moment.
Whether it is the remaining two-and-a-half ounces of potion or the three small bottles of primary spider poison potion neatly arranged in the wooden box, they all tell a truth.
————Predecessor, he was a gifted genius.
A genius in the field of potions.
With unsystematic teachings, in less than a year, he was able to produce one-half ounce more of the finished product by mixing primary spider poison according to the standard formula proportions.
In other words, for every four copies of primary spider poison potion prepared, there will be one more bottle of primary spider poison potion belonging to Gaode.
All of this is based on the predecessor's precise grasp of the properties of materials and the outstanding effect of material demonization. This is also the embodiment of the predecessor's talent, and Gothe inherited all of these.
