Chapter 53 Small Progress
Medicine Garden, in Gaode’s workshop.
Gaode carefully opened the box, took out a small bottle of basic magic potion, and held it in his hand.
"Luxury!" He couldn't help but sigh again.
The price of this small bottle of medicinal liquid is enough to cover the expenses of eight people in the medicine garden for nearly ten days.
And he practiced the guidance method and could consume a small bottle in two days.
The money was spent, Gaode stopped worrying and gently pulled out the cork.
A strange medicinal liquid smell filled the air, but it was not unpleasant.
Gulu~
Gothe raised his head and drank the bottle of basic magic potion in one gulp. After making sure that not a drop was left, he put the empty bottle back into the box.
Rinse it, and the medicine can be recycled afterwards, but it cannot be wasted.
"Such an expensive price, don't let me down."
Gaode muttered to himself, and then quickly fell into concentration and entered the state of meditation necessary for the practice of guiding the law.
As soon as he entered the state of meditation, Gaode felt something different.
A stream of heat is continuously emerging from his abdomen, which is a continuous magic power.
Under normal conditions, magic power floats in the outside world, and he needs to guide it into his body through the guidance method, and then convert it into his own mana.
But now, the magic power is gathering in his abdomen, where does it need to be guided into the body from the outside world?
Gothe had never seen such a good thing before, and he immediately started to run the guidance method eagerly, greedily absorbing the magic power accumulated in his lower abdomen and converting it into his own magic power.
Feeling the increasingly full mana in his body, Gaode, who was in a state of trance, unconsciously raised a smile on his face.
It was not until the mental depletion reached the critical point that Gaode woke up from his trance and stopped practicing the guided method.
"You really get what you pay for. The progress in practice this time is worth the five or six times in the past." Gao De felt the improvement of his magic power carefully and sighed sincerely.
"If I insist on drinking basic magic potions to assist in the practice of guidance, my magic power will be able to reach a higher level in three days."
It took the predecessor two years to practice the guidance method and meditation method to the realm of five tricks and five lotus petals respectively.
This is on the premise that his cultivation talent is already outstanding compared to other apprentices in the medicine garden.
In fact, not only the apprentices, but also Master Seda's talent as a mage is far inferior to that of "Gaode".
While occasionally drinking basic magic potion, Master Seda did not reach the third-level apprenticeship until he was thirty-five years old.
In fact, even if the scope is enlarged to all mages, the talent of the predecessor's mages should still be ranked in the middle and lower reaches.
Even so, it took him an average of 144 days, or 5 months, to break through the first level.
If calculated based on this level of practice efficiency, if Gaode's predecessor wanted to advance the guidance method from entry-level practice to third-class apprenticeship (twenty tricks) without slacking off for a day, it seems that it would only take 2880 days, which is eight years.
Of course, practice cannot be calculated in such a simple way.
The reason why mage apprentices are divided into first level to third level is because for each level, the time required to increase a small level of mana also increases by one level.
In layman’s terms, it means progressing from sixty to seventy, and from seventy to eighty. Although they both increase by ten points, the effort and energy required are definitely different.
Normally, the time it takes for the same person to increase one level of mana in the second-level apprenticeship stage is 1.5 times that of the first-level apprenticeship stage.
"From a second-class apprentice to a third-class apprentice, the mana needs to be increased by fifteen small levels. One small level is 144 days multiplied by 1.5, that is 216 days." Gothe calculated in his mind.
"If you want to become a third-class apprentice, you have to..."
Gaude did some mental calculations and came up with the answer: "3240 days."
It was exactly 9 years.
Including the previous two years, it is 11 years.
As for those with more average mage talents, if they want to practice to become a third-class apprentice, it will even take more than twenty years.
"No, it cannot be calculated that way. With the breakthrough of meditation and the growth of mental power, the time that can be practiced in the guidance method in a day will also increase, and the efficiency of absorbing magic power will also increase."
"This is equivalent to the fact that the speed of practicing the Guidance Method will continue to increase with the breakthrough of meditation."
With this layer added, Gaode will no longer be able to make accurate calculations.
But it’s good to know that the total time required will be much less than 9 years.
Tentative estimation is seven years. After seven years, he will only be twenty.
At the age of twenty, he can reach the level of third-class apprentice.
"You can also drink basic magic potions to speed up your practice. Now after drinking basic magic potions, one day is better than five days."
"A set (3 vials) of basic magic potions can last me six days of practice, but this is because I am still a first-class apprentice. Once I reach the second-class apprenticeship, I will need to consume one small bottle of magic potion a day."
"If you drink the basic magic potion throughout the whole process"
Hand, after calculating in his mind, Gothe came up with the answer again: "43.2 days to upgrade one level, and the next level will be broken through soon. Discounting deductions, there are still fourteen small levels left."
He calculated again for a moment.
604.8 days, 1.68 years.
That's right, if he insists on taking drugs, as long as he takes no more than two years at most, he can reach the level of a third-class apprentice, the same level as Master Seda.
This is the charm of "taking drugs".
"A set of basic magic potions is 6 gold and 10 silver. Calculated according to the consumption rate of a second-class apprentice, it will consume approximately 201 sets of basic magic potions, which is 1306 gold."
Gothe spread his hands and forget it.
It can’t be counted.
"Let's keep our feet on the ground, this medicine can only be taken occasionally." He became honest and no longer had wishful thinking.
Just
Gaode frowned again, thinking of a key question.
Having only been in this world for two months, the meditation technique has already broken through from the five-petal lotus to the seven-petal lotus!
"Without the aid of magic potions, my meditation progress will soon be far ahead of the guidance method"
"But if I want to drink basic magic potion for a long time, the expenditure is definitely not something I can afford."
The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable.
A penny can stump a hero, but never Gao De.
But with 1306 gold, two high virtues can be stumped.
"It would be great if we could get a prescription for the basic magic potion." Gothe murmured.
For primary spider poison potions, if all the raw materials are purchased, the material cost of a set of potions is 30 silver.
If you have your own medicine garden and cultivate the raw materials required for medicine, the cost of these materials can be reduced by more than half.
The purchase price offered by Phil's Potion Shop to the potion master is a set of 2 gold.
The primary spider poison potion was transferred from the potion master to the pharmacy. After changing hands, the selling price will rise to 2 gold and 10 silver.
Based on this rough estimate, if Gaode can prepare basic magic potions by himself, the cost of a set of basic magic potions can be reduced from the current 6 gold and 10 silver to about 3 gold, or even lower.
It's just that this is almost impossible.
It is impossible for the prescription of basic magic potion to appear on the market.
For any potion master, this is not for sale!
After drinking the basic magic potion, the practice speed of Gaode's Guidance Method finally caught up with the Meditation Technique and began to advance rapidly.
Just as he predicted, three days later, on the 13th day of the Green Bud Month, the guidance method, which had been progressing so slowly as an old ox pulling a cart that made Gothe feel anxious, finally had a breakthrough.
As the magic power from the potion in his lower abdomen was absorbed and transformed into his own mana, it gradually blended in with his own mana and became huge
Suddenly, his whole body shook slightly, and the flow of mana suddenly expanded by 20%.
Gaode knew what was going on and let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I have made a breakthrough. Now my mana is enough for me to cast six tricks."
If he can practice the guidance method to perfection, he will have enough mana to cast twenty tricks in one go.
Although the guidance method does not clearly divide the realm, it is only roughly divided into first to third-class apprentices.
But based on the number of spells that his current mana can release in one breath, Gaode can also calculate every bit of progress he has made.
