In essence, the extraction process of the potion is to refine and extract the complete "source quality model" from the extraordinary organs of these monsters. It is no wonder that Mr. Hilliard said that no matter how large the material is, there will be no excess, because the potion material The larger the model, the more complete the model and the fewer parts that need to be completed later.

"What looks like liquid gold is actually more expensive than gold."

Staring at the golden crystal liquid in the bottle, Ian couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "No... how can gold compare to it?"

A potion of the first energy level needs at least two to three parts of monster materials, and one part of monster materials needs more than one hundred, or even more than two hundred talers.

In other words, except for the lowest inheritance of 'Wavebreaker', a common potion material would add up to about 400 to 600 talers.

As for the sand armor apprentice, as the highest inheritance, only two potion materials are needed, just because Ian used the totem main material of the peak of the second energy level.

If it is a normal first-level magical beast, five types are generally required. In other words, the "raw materials" alone need 800 talers to start, and the maximum may need more than 1,500 talers, which is twice the normal inheritance.

Not to mention that the potion formula of Fudo Fortified City is a priceless treasure, and the alchemist who can prepare this kind of complex potion is also expensive.

An ordinary fisherman in Port Harrison earned about a dozen talers a year including free fish, while his uncle Oceana earned just over twenty talers including subsidies.

That is to collude with the natives, resell supplies, and accept bribes in order to save so much money and sleeping powder.

This is of course because Harrison Port is located in the border area, and the value of towers is a bit abnormal... But according to the teacher, even in the capital of the central province of the empire, a decent staff job costs more than 90 to 100 towers all year round. Le, and even fewer workers, only in their early sixties.

Potion materials alone require nearly ten years’ full salary of ordinary workers—not to mention the more expensive correct potion formula, which is almost equivalent to the material price of an alchemist’s preparation compensation. The previous adaptation to the potion Sexual training costs, the price given to the virtual seed, the teacher's salary, and possible failures.

If you want to train a first-level transcendent, you need at least 4,500 talers!

This has to be done without failure. If it fails, counting the recuperation and the new potion, the cost may be approaching seven thousand talers.

The more failures, the more costs.

But even 4,500 talers are already heavier than him!

"This small bottle of potion is made of Thaler silver coins that are heavier than mine...Because it is a top-level inheritance of sand armor apprentices, it may be several times heavier!"

Not to mention Ian's emotion at this time.

At this moment, Hilliard has started to extract the source material structure in the crystal bone of the reef-eating sea otter.

Silver streamers lit up in the old knight's eyes again, and a circle of pale golden source quality radiance lit up in his hands. This radiance intersected with the silver-blue electric arcs of the surrounding psionic fields, forming a spherical shape between his palms. Halo arc edge.

And strands of silver-white source matter structure seeped out from the crystal bone in the center of the halo, condensing into a mass of ethereal matter similar to the source matter crystal fluid in the crystal bottle.

In the vision of foresight, the pure blue source quality is refined, and the original dark blue crystal bone becomes pure white, no longer a sublimation material, but an ordinary metal-containing spine.

Ian couldn't help but look sideways at this situation—this move is very similar to what Elder Purdue once said, "made without equipment".

Theoretically speaking, it is a technique that can only be used by those who are both master alchemists and ascendants above the third energy level... But here comes the problem, Hilliard's original strength must be above the third energy level, but He is indeed not very proficient in alchemy... Well, it can be said that he is only at the junior high school level.

But now, Hilliard's technique of manipulating the source quality to refine it without equipment is extremely skillful, it's unbelievably proficient!

"Did you hide it... Or did you say that you have been used to laying hands on others before, but you haven't learned systematic alchemy?"

He muttered softly, and Ian also knew why Hilliard chose to sigh.

Although the spiritual energy field here is huge, it is extremely stable. Even Hilliard, who is not good at thunder, can stably attract the power of the field, induce thunder, and assist him in processing the monster materials. refining.

"Well, the production is about to be completed. It is not difficult to make the potion of Shakai Apprentice. You can actually do it. It is just an ordinary extraction process. However, there is currently no professional alchemy equipment. For the sake of quality, I can only do it myself."

Putting the silver-white source fluid into the crystal bottle, Hilliard used his own source to promote the flow and fusion of the source in the bottle. He nodded seriously to Ian: "Get ready, remember to use the 'source' to accept , don’t really drink it into your stomach.”

"I understand." Ian nodded slightly.

In addition to the source material structure, the materials of potions usually contain a large amount of toxic and non-toxic inorganic materials, ranging from heavy metals to various stones, not to mention all kinds of strange herbs and messy materials. It is absolutely impossible for the stomachs of ordinary people to absorb them.

Therefore, if you want to take the potion safely, you must activate the 'muscle stomach' that all Terrans have.

Or, 'source'.

Ian has eaten so many monster materials in the recent period, so he has naturally activated his gizzard, opened up the so-called 'fountain of source quality', and can take potions at any time.

At this moment, the potion in the crystal bottle in Hilliard's hand has been smelted.

The fusion of gold and silver sources turned into a light white translucent crystalline fluid. Hilliard had already put pure silicon and fertile soil leaf powder into it as supplementary materials, which made the potion look There is also a strange sense of inorganic material.

However, on this light white crystalline fluid, there are faint light golden inscription lines emerging. In Ian's foreseeing vision, he can see a large number of source quality chips floating in the liquid, condensing one after another. The inscriptions are connected in series to form a huge sublimation structure.

Like hills standing still in a storm.

And that is the core of the 'Sand Armor Apprentice' potion!

"Drink it."

Hilliard handed the bottle of light white gold-patterned potion to Ian. He looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright, and he looked at Ian expectantly: "This is the best that the current situation can produce. potion, and I haven't had a few such masterpieces in my life."

"Ian, my student, it definitely deserves your talent."

"Teacher, I will do the best I can."

Ian also stretched out his hands seriously, and took the crystal bottle in his teacher's hand. He stared at the strange potion with inscriptions that were constantly spinning and churning in the bottle, and then smiled: "It's really interesting."

Ian always said that, he was always yearning and curious about everything from the bottom of his heart.

So, with surging anticipation, he raised the bottle and drank it in his mouth.

The cold, heavy liquid poured down the throat and into the second stomach like ice.

Immediately afterwards, a flow of hot magma ignited in Ian's body!
