79: Chapter 79 Complete Refining, All Done

Ross of course had no say in the decisions made by the supreme powerhouses, but under this elimination model, it would be much harder for some currently serving Official Wizards.

Professor Pulang still had a significant shortfall when various evaluations were combined, so Ross's talent immediately caught his attention.

Cultivating outstanding trainees for the Wizard Academy was naturally a performance metric, and it could naturally add a lot of points to the evaluation results.

Of course, the specific evaluation standards for professors were not something Ross could know, and the salaries and evaluations of many positions required signing confidentiality agreements.

Through the conversation between Ross and Professor Pulang, Ross became even clearer about his own position.

A Wizard Apprentice had only initially stepped into the Wizard World, and becoming an Official Wizard was not an easy thing no matter which region of the Wizard World it was in.

Undeniably, in the Wizard World, joining something like a Wizard Academy was the normal growth route.

In the Wizard Academy, one could obtain many unique items or resources that free wizards could not acquire.

Therefore, unless one truly had no way to accept even a little restriction, or cared too much about their own freedom.

Otherwise, joining a faction was naturally a very good choice. Of course, if one became strong enough one day, they could also establish their own faction.

"However, the things decided by these big figures in the wizarding world are still not something a small Wizard Apprentice like me can choose. What's most worth rejoicing about right now is that in addition to the 15 academy points remaining previously, this paper provided 65 academy points, bringing the academy points in my hands to 80."

"Not only can I exchange for the formula of siling ointment, but I can also have 15 academy points left over."

... Along the way smoothly, after some communication between Ross and the Wizard Apprentice responsible for exchanging items, he obtained the formula for [siling ointment].

This potion, which could increase Mental Energy by 10 points per vial, was indeed more complex than the calming potion and crimson potion he had previously tried to refine.

Its specific formula required "Star-Pith Moss", "Evening Primrose", "Serene Coral", "morning dew", and some other auxiliary Materials.

Among them, "Star-Pith Moss" was a kind of phosphorescent moss growing in alpine caves, a rare magical plant, and usually even artificial cultivation required a lot of cost. This Star-Pith Moss mainly contained a substance similar to ceratoid acid, which could gently activate the prefrontal cortex of the brain of intelligent races, and could provide focused Mental Energy and information processing speed.

"Evening Primrose" was a magical plant very easily confused with "silver leaf grass", but it was much cheaper than "Star-Pith Moss", only having some requirements for picking. It usually needed to be picked a moment before dawn, at that time during the alternation of white and night. It possessed a component of magical linolenic acid, which could optimize the neural membranes of intelligent living beings.

"Serene Coral" was a type of calcified coral colony growing near deep-sea volcanic hot spring vents, and its components possessed substances that coordinated neurons and Mental Energy, preventing mental overload after consumption.

Only after carefully pondering the formula of [siling ointment] for a few days did Ross purchase the related magic Materials.

The prices of these Materials were many times higher than the calming potion and crimson potion.

The finished [siling ointment] was around 100 magic stones, while the price of these magic Materials had already reached 40 magic stones.

That meant the profit among them was less than 2 times, but the degree of preciousness was something those two potions could not compare with.

It was not that the academy didn't want to sell it more expensively, but these potions ultimately had to be used on Wizard Apprentices to play a role.

And only the wizard group had a massive demand for enhancing Mental Energy.

If the price increase were too high, it would instead cause Wizard Apprentices to use other means or potions to enhance Mental Energy, and if not restrained, the related potion market would wither.

Ross first used "morning dew" frozen to the state of ice and water to gently rinse the rocks and dust originally adhered to the "Star-Pith Moss".

This moss also had quite a few restrictions. It usually could not come into direct contact with the human body, which was also a taboo when processing many magical plants, otherwise some medicinal efficacy would come into contact with the oils of the skin itself, and then release the medicinal properties.

Placing the "Star-Pith Moss" on a silver utensil plate, and then irradiating it with moonlight for a while, after about 40 minutes, some light blue liquid would ooze from the surface of these mosses, also known as [Star-Pith Stock Solution], which should be collected in glass test tubes and stored away from light in time.

Ross carelessly failed to clean a portion of "Star-Pith Moss" very cleanly during processing, causing the exuded [Star-Pith Stock Solution] to appear green, which was the result of contamination. Fortunately, the moss Ross prepared could still be condensed for at least 3 more portions.

"Evening Primrose" required an even lower temperature. Under absolute low temperature, it could precipitate an amber-like lipid crystal. Mix the lipid crystal and Star-Pith Stock Solution in a ratio of 1:3, then take it out and place it in a flask, putting it on a heated water bath.

Wait until the color of the mixed solution gradually turns from blue to purple, and finally stabilizes to indigo, but avoid precipitation. If some particles appear, they must be heated and dissolved in time to grasp the effect of the potion to the maximum extent.

Put "Serene Coral" at the bottom of the crucible, and then use a pestle made of obsidian to grind it to a powdery fineness. However, before grinding, a barrier must be set up outside the crucible, and then the internal air extracted, which was to avoid the oxidation of special substances in "Serene Coral" during the grinding process.

After skillfully processing these Materials one by one, Ross was going to use [Magic Flame] to carry out complete Fusion.

In these days, Ross's fire control technology was also getting better and better.

Originally just a fire control Spell, under Ross's continuous practice, he gradually grasped the essence.

Compared to being used as an attacking means, in the process of refining potions, it could better display the particularity of this Spell Model.

While refining potions, Ross's grasp of the heat had also reached the Transcendent realm, possessing a hint of a Grandmaster's demeanor.

After grinding "Serene Coral" into powder, the indigo-colored liquid formed by mixing and heating the lipid crystal and Star-Pith Stock Solution in a 1:3 ratio was blended into it. Under the repeated tempering of high temperature - low temperature - high temperature, the solution would also gradually turn from the original turbid opalescent liquid into clear, solidifying after cooling.

Finally forming [siling ointment].

At this moment, it exuded a crisp minty scent, and after taking it, there was still a slight sweetness in the mouth.

"Not bad, basically identical to the [siling ointment] issued by the academy."

And Ross's Mental Energy was also enhanced in the process of "+1" "+1" "+1".
