"You want to learn the elemental potion bottle? Has the boss agreed?"

Scar obviously didn't expect Wang Que to come to him to learn this.

But after hearing that Black Wing had agreed, he did not refuse.

"Okay, let's do this. From now on, you will come to me every day after dinner to learn pharmacist knowledge for an hour. I will teach you for three days. If you still can't get started after three days, then don't learn anymore."

Wang Que nodded immediately: "Okay, thank you Brother Scar."

Scar waved his hand: "Don't thank me too soon, you may not be able to learn it yet."

"Let's start today. I'll teach you the origins of pharmacists and a few common recipes. Please write them down first. I'll prepare the ingredients tomorrow, and the money will be deducted from your future wages."

Scar only regarded teaching Wang Que as Black Wing's task and did not invest any extra emotional energy in it.

"Do you know which potion bottles are most commonly used by our treasure-stealing group?"

He looked at Wang Que and asked.

Wang Que: "There are four kinds of potion bottles: fire, water, thunder, and ice."

Scar nodded slightly, quite satisfied: "Then do you know the origin of these four potions?"

These Wang Que were embarrassed, he really didn't know.

After all, in the game, the treasure-hunting group is just a small monster, who would look at the origin of their skills?

Scar wasn't angry either: "Our treasure-stealing group is a very loose organization, and we don't have any profound inheritance. The so-called pharmacy is actually inherited from humble beginnings. The fire potion is actually dangerous chemicals combined with elemental materials. It is purely flammable and explosive."

"The Water Potion was initially used as [holy water] or [elixir] to deceive people. Later, it was discovered that this thing had greater potential for hitting people."

"The Thunder Potion was also developed by accident."

"And the Ice Potion was originally created in places where there were no Ice Mist Flowers and we needed to chill alcoholic beverages."

"You see, the so-called four great medicines actually all come from unconventional sources."

"To put it nicely, we're pharmacists. To put it bluntly, we're just a bunch of hooligans who know a little bit about chemistry and elements."

Scar spoke of his profession in a calm tone, without any pride or dissatisfaction, just a simple statement.

"Now that you know how bad pharmacists are, do you still want to learn?"

He looked at Wang Que with a burning gaze.

Wang Que said without hesitation: "Of course I have to learn. Compared to doing menial work, this pharmacist is already outstanding."

Wang Que was talking about the life of cattle and horses before he traveled through time.

But Scar just thought of it as Wang Que's days as a laborer in Liyue Harbor.

"Well, in that case, I'll teach you the recipe first, and you have to remember it."

"First is the most powerful Fire Potion."

"In the beginning, we used a mixture of fuel oil and elemental materials to prepare the fire potion, but later we abandoned this method because it was too expensive."

"After generations of pharmacists' refinements, we finally chose the simplest flammable substance as the basis: liquor. Liquor is flammable, spreads easily, and easily adheres to the enemy's body. It is also much cheaper than fuel mixtures. A bottle of qualified liquor sells for about fifty Mora in Liyue."

"In addition to strong liquor, we need materials rich in fire elements, that is, elemental fuel. Here we use flame pollen. We don't need too much, ten grams will be enough. The market price is forty Mora."

"Then we need to amplify the power of the fire element. This requires another material with fire properties. There are many materials that can be used here, such as extracts from the spores of fire mushroom beasts and extracts from heavy armored crabs. However, for the ultimate value for money, we prefer the tail of a red lizard. It's very cheap, you can buy one for one Mora, and there are people in Liyue who specialize in breeding them."

"Finally, the most crucial material is gunpowder. This is what provides the explosive power of the elemental bottle. Fortunately, our treasure-stealing group has a special channel, and it's not expensive. One elemental bottle requires approximately fifty to sixty grams of gunpowder, which costs around one hundred Mora."

"The above is the preparation of the production materials, and the production method is also very simple."

"First, split the flame pollen in half, mix one half with the lizard tail extract, and inject it into the liquor."

"Stir until there are no noticeable differences in the mixture."

"Then inject the mixture into the elemental bottle."

"Then seal the element bottle for the first time to ensure that the mixed liquid will not leak."

"Then, we'll process the other portion of the Fiery Pollen using a special technique to suppress its fire elemental properties. After processing, we'll mix it with the gunpowder."

"Pour the mixture of gunpowder and flame flower powder into the element bottle. Because it is sealed, the powder and the mixture will not penetrate each other."

"Then the last step is to make a small hole in the bottle cap, insert the fuse, and close the cap tightly. A fire potion bottle is ready."

Scar spoke very carefully and Wang Que listened very carefully.

I have to say that the name of pharmacist is indeed a good name.

This is not a medicine, it's clearly a Molotov cocktail.

This treasure-stealing group is really a torturer.

"Do you remember?" Scar asked.

Wang Que nodded: "I remember it."

Scar nodded noncommittally: "Then continue, the next thing is..."

"Ice Potion, ingredients are Ice Mist Stamens, Condensing Agent, and any Ice Elemental Monster. The minimum recommended ingredients are Snow Mountain Mint Extract..."

"Thunder Potion. The ingredients are electrical crystal and conductive fluid. The minimum recommended material configuration for any thunder-attribute monster is extracts of Mingcao or Tianyuncao. However, both of these are Inazuma products and seem to be out of stock recently. You can use a more expensive one, Magic Crystal Block Powder, instead. This is a high-level material for earth vein erosion and is backwards compatible with many other materials."

"Water Potion, ingredients are frog secretions, star snail extract, butterfly wing powder, and hydrogel..."

Scar explained the materials used in each potion, its approximate value, and how to prepare it.

Wang Que was fascinated by what he heard.

This is knowledge that was impossible to know in the game before traveling through time.

Until there was no more shouting from the treasure-stealing group members outside,

Scar stopped explaining and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. You will sleep alone in your stone chamber from now on."

The three members of the treasure-hunting group who were defeated by Wang Que obviously had other places to go.

Wang Que felt a little regretful. He wanted to continue studying, but seeing the other person's dark circles, he felt embarrassed to continue.

"Then I'll leave first and come back tomorrow."

After a brief farewell, Wang Que left Scar's place and walked towards his own residence.

When I returned to my residence, there was indeed no trace of anyone else.

In the huge stone chamber, only Wang Que's bedding and a cash box with no money were left.

"This is the reward for showing your ability."

"That's pretty good."

Chapter 11 Element Bottle Making Level 3

for the rest of the time,

Wang Que's daily life became regular.

Get up at six o'clock, have breakfast and go to the ancient buildings to guard the ancient relics of the folk researchers.

I get off work around six or seven in the evening, and after dinner I go to Scar to learn about pharmacist knowledge.

Until the third day,

The day of Scar's assessment has arrived.

In Scar's pharmacy.

A batch of ingredients for a fire potion was placed in front of Wang Que.

"You've tried quite a few times in the past few days, wasting thousands of Mora worth of materials. Today is the test. If you still can't do it, you don't need to learn anymore."

Scar spoke coldly without showing any mercy.

At the beginning, Wang Que thought that configuring the element bottle was as simple as the steps Scar described.

But in fact, there are many details that Scar did not mention at all, and we can only guess at them.

The simplest point is how to mix different materials to optimize the effect of the materials.

There is also the grinding of materials, and what kind of grinding is considered qualified.

Each step has different details, and these details have caused Wang Que a lot of trouble in the past three days.

There were many wounds caused by elemental erosion on his hands, arms, and even his body.

Fortunately, Scar was watching and applied the medicine in time, otherwise, Wang Que felt that he might die while preparing the medicine.

Fortunately, Wang Que is not without his merits.

Scar also admitted that Wang Que had steady hands, which was his biggest advantage as a pharmacist.

"Are you ready?"

Scar looked at Wang Que.

Wang Que took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready."

Scar said calmly, "Then let's get started."

Wang Que stopped talking and concentrated on the materials in front of him.

Take out the Flame Pollen and observe the degree of grinding of the pollen. If it is not fine enough, pour the pollen into a small grinding disc and grind it again.

The pollen after secondary grinding is finer and meets the conditions for use.

Save the pollen in half.

Take out the lizard's tail, put it into the water, and drip the slime liquid.

Slime gel is the most commonly used alchemical raw material. It can be mixed with lizard tail and soaked for extraction, which is lizard tail extract.

It takes a while to soak.

First take out the gunpowder and observe the gunpowder particles. No secondary processing is required and the conditions for use are met.

Take out the flame pollen prepared earlier and add it in.

Take out the small grinding wheel, clean off any traces of previous use, and after confirming it is clean, pour in a mixture of gunpowder and pollen and grind slowly.

You absolutely cannot go fast here, as the heat from rapid grinding is more likely to cause the flame pollen to reignite, thereby igniting the gunpowder and causing an explosion.

Grind slowly for half an hour and the pollen and gunpowder mixture is ground.

The lizard tail was also soaked successfully, and the test tube was taken out for extraction.

After extracting the extract, take out the remaining flame pollen, pour the flame pollen into a test tube first, and then slowly drip in the lizard tail extract.

You can't be fast here, you need to be slow and steady.

Otherwise, the fire element in the lizard's tail may ignite the flame pollen, resulting in failure.

After another half hour of mixing, the mixture is ready.

Next, the mixture is poured into the liquor. There is nothing special about the pouring process. The only thing to pay attention to is to keep it away from fire.

The next step is stirring. You must use a glass rod and stir in one direction. Wang Que chose to stir counterclockwise.

Stirring needs to be uniform, and stop only when the liquor turns red and there are no obvious particles.

Infuse the element bottle.

For internal packaging,

Check for leaks.

After confirming the seal, inject pollen powder.

Gently press the bottle mouth to confirm that the mixed gunpowder is compacted, and then seal the bottle mouth.

Tighten the bottle cap with the fuse.

More than an hour has passed.

Place the new Fire Potion on the workbench in front of you.

Wang Que took a step back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, Scar, I'm done."
