Chapter 138 The Pyramid of Potions(1/2)
Ring of Flame: After casting the spell, a ring of fire is summoned around itself and spreads outward, extending up to 10 meters, igniting all creatures passed by on the way and providing high amounts of burning damage.
Lock tongue and throat seal: After casting the spell, the cursed person will be unable to speak or chant spells, lasting for five seconds, and the spell casting speed is extremely fast.
These two spells, Flame Fire Circle, as a high-damage fire spell, provide Mu You with the AOE output ability that he currently lacks.
The small fireball spell takes too long to cast and can only be cast in one direction. It is actually similar to a single-target spell. The effect of this spell after it is released is a fire ring with a radius of ten meters and a high amount of burst fire damage. It is most suitable for
Use it to deal with the siege of some lower creatures.
The second spell, Locking Tongue and Sealing Throat, is a silencing spell. The effect of being unable to speak is generally not useful. It can be used at most to restrict creatures like Mandrake that rely on sound to attack. The most important thing is
The effect of prohibiting chanting, combined with the extremely fast speed of casting spells, can turn a wizard into useless in the most critical five seconds during battle, which is very practical.
Muyou confirmed the exchange, and the more than 10,000 points instantly bottomed out, and the two spell scrolls on the software were immediately removed from the shelves, showing that they were sold.
Next, wait for Lao Zhang to send him the scroll, and then he can go find other people to trade at night.
But before that, Mu You still has an important task, which is to refine the evolution potion.
Today is already Wednesday. After six consecutive days of schoolwork, he has memorized all forty-two notebooks. Today is finally the time for the actual test.
"Vivian, look at the formula for the evolution potion, is it..." Mu You came to Canary with various hints.
The canary glanced at him, waved her wings and opened her small library, summoned a new book from it, and flew towards Muyou.
Mu You took it and took a look: "Summary of Anseni Vivian's Magic Potion Formulas".
"This is the complete set of magic potion formulas recorded before the death of the main body. It records all the prescriptions I collected throughout my life. It is not very comprehensive. The coverage rate is about 70%. However, there are all commonly used prescriptions."<
/p>
Mu You was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, this is something truly worth tens of thousands of dollars!
Turning it over, it turned out that every page contained a magic potion, sorted in order from low-level to high-level. When I turned to the last page, I saw that the total number of pages was more than 1,700, which is 1,000.
More than 700 recipes!
Vivian is too modest. She has included 70% of the potion formula book, but in her words, it is only "not complete". This makes other potion masters feel embarrassed to hear this.
According to the descriptions in the previous notes, an average potion master would be considered very good if he could master dozens of potion refining methods. However, for a person who can master hundreds of potions, no one would dare to object to calling himself a potion master.
.
As for Vivian, with more than 1,700 potions, she has completely broken away from the stage of comparison with ordinary potion masters. This is a true master of potions. I am afraid that there are not many people in the entire history of the Celestial Spirit World.
Someone who knows more potion recipes than her.
Mu You flipped through it quickly and quickly found a page about the evolution potion.
"Evolution potion: fourth-level magic potion, refining main drug: abyss worm reverse scale, eyeball of eyeball grass, unicorn blood, auxiliary ingredients: 5 grams of Qingshen pollen, one absinthium plant, 5 hyena leaves, scarab beetle
10 ml of bile..."
Muyou has two copies of each of the three main ingredients on hand, and several auxiliary ingredients, all of which are very common low-level materials and herbs. He happens to have all of them in his current inventory, which saves him from having to worry about the Longteng software.
Temporarily redeemed.
Seeing that Mu You had gone to the stove to prepare various materials, Vivian suddenly said: "Magic potions are divided into nine levels. From level one to level nine, the difficulty increases in sequence. Among them, level one to level three potions
It is a low-level potion, levels four to six are mid-level potions, and levels seven to nine are high-level. Each time the level increases, the difficulty of refining will double."
"So the highest level is a ninth-level potion master?" Mu You asked subconsciously.
"No, the highest level is a seventh-level potion master. No one has been able to refine potions above the eighth level yet," Vivian said.
"Ah?" Mu You was stunned: "Not even you?"
"I am a seventh-level potion master."
Vivian shook her head and sighed: "I once thought that there could be no potions in the world that could not be refined. After reaching the seventh level of potion master, I spent eight hundred years exploring the realms above the seventh level, trying various methods.
I learned more advanced magic potion skills, but I still couldn't make any progress. It wasn't until I was dying that I figured out that the fundamental reason why I couldn't continue to improve was that my foundation was not strong enough. By then, my control over energy had been completely finalized, and I wanted to return.
It is no longer possible to consolidate the foundation without overthrowing everything, unless we tear everything down and start over.”
"The foundation is not strong?"
Mu You was stunned when he heard this. In his impression, Vivian was already at the pinnacle of potion science in the star spirit world. If her foundation was not solid, then what is solid?
Vivian shook her head and said: "The practice of potions is like building a pyramid in your world. The area of the foundation will directly determine the final height of your pyramid. Many people have learned several first-level potions.
They can't wait to start trying the second level, then the third level and even higher levels. The pyramid built in this way is like a castle in the air. Sooner or later, it will overturn. And at most, they will reach the third level of magic potion.
The bottleneck is always stuck at the level of a low-level potion master."
"The only way to advance to an intermediate or even high-level potion master is to start with first-level potions and continuously lay a solid foundation. Only when the foundation is solid enough can you start the next stage. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are,
No matter how gorgeous your medicine refining skills are, sooner or later you will hit a bottleneck and be unable to make any further progress."
"Okay, I understand...then I'll start."
Mu You nodded, took note of her words, and prepared to start refining the medicine.
Vivian glanced at him and knew that he actually didn't understand, but at this time she didn't say anything more, took the pocket watch, and silently helped him control the time.
The importance of the basics is not so easy to understand without actual experience. Even back then, she once had too high aspirations. Only when she personally experienced the helpless despair of facing a bottleneck could she truly understand the basics.
It's valuable. It's useless to just say it with one mouth. You can only let him experience it himself.
Throw the flying cards and the Fool's Barrier will appear automatically.
Time was limited, so Mu You immediately started refining.
Each medicinal material was collected, processed, and skillfully thrown into the crucible.
After experiencing the guidance of Vivian's system, he is no longer the wild path he used to explore on his own. Every move has become orderly, and he uses experienced techniques to handle every step in an orderly manner.
p>
After more than sixty years of studying potions, his current foundation has improved by more than a thousand times compared to when he was refining the spirit-calling potion!
However, even so, he quickly felt how difficult the fourth-level potion was.
In the repeated formation, he made a total of 2,760 attempts. It was only when he practiced all the steps to perfection that Mu You finally refined the first finished product for the first time.
With the addition of Zui Chunfeng, the blood-red potion in the crucible finally settled on the ordinary quality of white.
Mu You wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After more than 2,700 attempts, it seems that the number of times used for the soul-awakening potion is even less than the last time. If you continue to try, there seems to be a chance to improve the quality to a sophisticated level.
But Mu You had no intention of continuing. After getting the finished product for the first time, he immediately moved his steps and stopped the Fool's Barrier.
Because at this moment he has deeply felt the ‘bottleneck’ that Vivian said.
No matter if he continues to try the medicine in front of him tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times, the result will only remain at the ordinary level, because this is the upper limit of his current level.
Vivian is right. Intermediate and above potions cannot be accumulated through repeated use.
Mu You exhaled, poured the potion in the crucible into the prepared bottle, and sealed it.
As for the second evolution potion, he is not ready to refine it for the time being. He will wait until his potion refining ability improves. After all, the second evolution potion is prepared for himself, and the quality should be as high as possible.
Canary flew over at this time, looked at the red potion in his hand, did not comment on anything, but looked at him and said: "Starting tomorrow, we will start from the first-order potion. There are 362 kinds of first-order potions, but among them
Only 20 kinds are root potions, and the other 342 kinds are all derived from the extension and transformation of these 20 potions."
"The criteria for judging a first-level potion master in the star spirit world is to learn at least five first-level root potions and practice them all to a success rate of more than 70%. Then you can obtain the title of first-level potion master."
"My requirement for my disciples is to learn all 20 types of root potions, with a success rate of over 99%. The criterion is any potion. If you can refine it a hundred times in a row without ever failing, even if you
Passed. Only if you achieve all 20 types can you start the next stage of potion learning."
"Okay, I understand..."
The answer is exactly the same as before, but at this time, Mu You has fully felt the importance of basics, so he does not feel that Vivian's condition is harsh at all.
After stretching, Mu You left his backpack and went out to have breakfast.
When he came back, Xiaoya had already come to the store.
"Boss, have you seen the morning task? What should we do?" Xiaoya couldn't wait to come to consult after seeing Mu You.
"Have you logged into the game?"
"I logged in, and as soon as I found out that I was being hunted, I quickly logged out. After checking the forum, I found out that there was a new mission." Xiaoya said.
"Well done." Mu You gave her a thumbs up. Xiaoya was very smart in this regard. If she knew something, she would ask him first instead of thinking about it on her own.
Mu You turned on her satellite phone and showed her the guide posted by the Dragon Team leader yesterday, and then helped her briefly analyze her situation.
As for Xiaoya, she has just reached level two. It is impossible to participate in this mission. She can only be like an ordinary newcomer, bullying low-level wild monsters in the wild to practice and level up as soon as possible.
I have to say that it is really difficult for newcomers now. Not long after they joined the game, they encountered such a server-wide event. The difficulty of survival suddenly increased, and the improvement speed instantly became a sluggish one.
This Mu You can't help her. What he can do is to help Xiaoya roll six-point dice every day to try to improve her luck. The rest depends on her own luck.
The next time, Xiaoya ran to control the scepter in the space.
Mu You went back to the room and started preparing the secret cards to be used in the evening.
This card creation took more than ten hours, until late at night. A total of two Dark Teleport cards, three Light of Vetoes, two Summon Zombies, and other low-level magic such as small fireballs and air cannons were produced.
Two stocks.
