Chapter 391: Semi-final II

Under the effect of this atmosphere, the mages around North were under great pressure, and the number of mistakes in the refining process also increased significantly.

Many mages made too many mistakes that made them unable to continue refining, and finally had to withdraw from this potions competition.

Before leaving, the mages glanced in the direction of North, wondering how far the mage who had failed him could go.

North didn't pay any attention to these mages who had failed to leave. North's attention was already entirely focused on the potion he was refining.

The process of refining potions that North is still not going to be like ordinary mages, even if he goes through a complete process of refining potions and can get stronger potions, North does not plan to do so.

After getting the materials used in the semi-finals, North had already roughly decided how to refine the potions this time.

Under North's control, many ingredients were added to the pot, and in addition, the special fruit, North also took it out and added the juice from it to the pot.

If someone is able to look down from the top of the pot, they will notice something unusual. The juice of the fruit is noticeably thicker, and when it is added to the pot with the usual ingredients, it does not merge with the original water in the pot, and shows no signs of being diluted, but floats on the surface of the water.

The ability of the sap to form this unusual sign is naturally inseparable from the control of North, who immediately used water-resisting thaumaturgy to control the flow of the juice and prevent it from merging with ordinary water.

In terms of color, the juice is not much different from ordinary water, and it is not even completely distinguishable with the naked eye, but under the control of the water thaumaturgy, the two liquids are completely separated.

The liquid produced by the fruit does not spread in the liquid in the pot, but forms a separate whole.

Although the water-resisting thaumaturgy used to control liquids is only the most basic first-order magic, when the spell level is increased, it can still show extremely powerful effects, and even high-level magic skills cannot be compared.

In addition to the water-resisting thaumaturgy, the rest of the thaumaturgy also has its own unique effects. But only if the level of the spell is high enough can it be revealed.

When refining potions, each thaumaturgy can be added to the refining process, and mages can make appropriate modifications to some of the processes of refining potions according to their skill level.

Generally speaking, the higher the mage's basic ability, the higher the upper limit of the potions refined, even if only some inferior materials are used, it will not have much effect.

Long before joining this potions competition, Rhodes had raised his four-line thaumaturgical skills to the level of Lv10. To be able to achieve such a refining effect, North's four-series thaumaturgical skills are also not low.

In the process of refining potions, as the temperature rises, the rest of the ingredients in the cauldron also release their essence.

Thanks to the liquid as a carrier, the essence of the rest of the material is evenly dispersed into all the liquid in the pot.

This is the process of refining potions for regular mages, and when the essence is fully released, the liquid in the pot needs to be refined a second time to obtain the finished potion.

However, under North's control, his rough process this time was obviously quite different from the process of other mages.

The juice from the original fruit began to swim around in the liquid in the pot. In the process of swimming, this juice also began to absorb the essence of the surrounding area, gathering all the essence into the juice.

As the essence part gathered more and more, the liquid began to change from transparent and colorless at the beginning, to another obvious light green.

At this time, the outline of this liquid was finally fully revealed in the cauldron, but only North alone could observe it, and for the rest of the mages around them, they still did not know what was happening in the cauldron and the progress of the potion refining by North.

The potions that North had been refining had not been for long, and there had been no action other than the initial process of adding ingredients to the cauldron.

The mages watching the tournament around didn't know where North had progressed, but that didn't prevent them from paying attention to the process of refining North.

At this time, in the eyes of the mage watching the game, North suddenly made a move. I saw North take the bottle that was carrying the finished product on the side, and tilt the bottle into the pot.

Under North's control, the pale green liquid produced by the original juice as the main body suddenly broke away from the liquid in the pot at this time, as if freed from the shackles of gravity, and entered the bottle in North's hand.

Wait until North takes the bottle out again, and it's already filled with pale green finished potions.

North took the bottle in his hand and raised it to the rest of the mages in the field, telling the surrounding mages that he had finished refining the potion.

In an instant, the mage who had been paying attention to North's movements suddenly boiled.

The mages around them already have a lot of knowledge about potions, and although they don't know the specific potion formula, they are no strangers to the fact that the refining process needs to be rough first and then refined.

These mages saw what North meant, he had already finished refining the potion, but according to the understanding of these mages, he had not yet carried out the refining process.

This undoubtedly made the surrounding mages extremely excited, what they didn't expect was that North would be able to skip a step in the refining process in the rematch.

Among the mages who are concerned about North, not all of them support North, and some of them just feel that North has made a lot of noise in the preliminary round and are paying attention to him.

In the process of refining, the process of crude potion is omitted and the refining is carried out directly, which can be done by many mages in the semi-finals, but if the refining process is omitted, if it is only rough, not many mages can achieve it.

Because the rough process is so simple, so simple that all the ingredients are placed in the pot together, even a mage who is very good at potions will find it difficult to make any changes in the rough process.

What these mages want to know is whether the crude potions refined by North have reached the standard of the rematch.
