Chapter 1130 On the Importance of Finding a Good Teacher

In addition to the rarity of formulas, there are three most difficult points in pharmacy: the first is the treatment of herbs. As a simple example, in order to be as streamlined as possible, many potion recipes that use Tranquility Flower will describe the ingredient like this: XX grams of Tranquility Flower Juice.

There is a lot of knowledge in this, as the name suggests, the juice of the flower is the juice of the flower, but how to take out the juice of a flower in the right way, it will be a large number of pharmacists, because the juice of the flower of the flower needs to be taken out in different ways in different formulations.

For example, the condensation flower juice used in the brain-awakening potion needs to be made with a knife made of mythril, cut the condensation flower into minced pieces, and then use the back of the knife to grind it, so that the condensation flower juice can be used for the brain-awakening potion.

For example, tranquilizers also need to use concentrating flower juice, but one method cannot be used, otherwise the effect of the tranquilizer will be too strong and people will fall into a long sleep. The correct way to extract the juice in this recipe is to place the flower in pure water and then distill it using a special utensil.

And these are not recorded in the potion recipe, so a pharmacist to get the potion recipe is only the first step, and there is still a long way to go before this potion can be formulated through the potion recipe.

The second difficulty is the timing of the addition of the herb. All the potion recipes on the Continent of Eriat are not prepared with a single herb, and the simplest first-level recipe will use at least five or more herbs. Of course, these herbs are not just put into a crucible, and they are very particular about what to put first, what to put later, and when to add new ingredients.

The time required to put in the raw materials is almost accurate to the millisecond, and the slightest mistake can reduce the effectiveness of the final product, lead to formulation failure, and may even cause an explosion and endanger life.

The third difficulty is the control of the heat. It is no exaggeration to say that the pharmacist's requirements for the control of the heat are even higher than that of the forger, after all, if the forger cannot master the heat, there is still room for remedy, but for the pharmacist, the slightest carelessness will turn the precious herb into ashes by the heat.

Eliat Continental's potions are still very expensive, and the reason is that many pharmacists have had the painful experience of wasting precious herbs due to poor control of the heat, so when a bottle of potion is prepared, the value is not only the material value of the potion itself, but also the "loss" of high prices.

This is also an important reason why the apothecary was generally considered a branch of the magician before Master Drog, and it was believed that the magician and even the fire magician could perfectly control the heat of the potion.

It is precisely because of these three difficulties that there are, even if Master Zhuo Ge later opened up a new path for ordinary people to become pharmacists, but pharmacists are still rare in the entire continent, and it is too difficult to become a pharmacist, so that now, most pharmacists must have a teacher to accept them as personal disciples, and only after receiving the teacher's careful guidance will they succeed in their employment. Otherwise, the loss of materials alone would be enough to kill most "wild" apothecaries.

The old saying that a famous teacher produces a high apprentice is definitely a wise saying in the pharmacist industry, and if you can worship a pharmacist master as a teacher, you will undoubtedly take a lot of detours, and the processing methods of those herbs, the timing of putting in the herbs and the mastery of the heat can be learned directly from the teacher, without having to spend a lot of energy and financial resources to explore, so that the disciples of those pharmacists will have more time and energy to study or improve the formula of the potion and become a new master of pharmacies.

After these new potion masters have earned a lot of wealth through pharmacy, they will use it to collect more potion recipes and more precious potion materials, and conduct further research with their teachers, forming a virtuous circle over time.

If Master Zhuog opened the way for all ordinary people to become pharmacists, and made most people have the possibility of becoming pharmacists, then Master Madison also made indelible contributions to the development and growth of the pharmacist industry. Under this pharmacist training system, each pharmacist can be said to stand on the shoulders of giants, so they can often achieve more outstanding achievements than their own teachers, so as to further push the pharmacist industry forward.

This perfect system of training circulating pharmacists was established in the hands of Master Madison. This was also one of the important factors that Master Madison had not yet advanced to the Sacred Realm, but had already received the respect of pharmacists from all over the continent.

Therefore, Master Madison did have the capital of Niu X at the beginning, and almost all the pharmacists in the Royal Pharmacists Association today are his apprentices, including many nobles and even royal children, and the power in it is definitely not to be underestimated. Even the domineering Rey III, or the unruly Ophoras, will sell some face to Madison when they see him, especially after he advances to the Sanctuary.

After all, the Eliad Continent does have its own uniqueness, otherwise it would have been eliminated by history long ago. Problems that can't be solved by magic, martial arts, or theology may be solved with a bottle of potion, so even the five powerhouses of the mainland don't mind carrying a few bottles of potion with them in case they need it.

And Master Zhuog is a far more high-end existence than Master Madison, and now the master of the masters has even opened his mouth to take Alfie as an apprentice before. One can imagine what a stupid decision Alfie made, although he did not explicitly refuse, his procrastination behavior has undoubtedly gradually closed the door for Master Zhuog to take him as an apprentice.

If Master Madison had known about this, he would have scolded Alfie for not being aware of current affairs, what a great opportunity, even he himself often studied the texts left by Master Drog, trying to find new inspiration and inspiration from them, but Alfie watched this good opportunity slip out of his hands.

"Whew~ It seems to be almost. Alfi wiped the sweat on her head that appeared because of nervousness or other reasons, and looked at the brain-awakening potion that was about to be prepared in her hand with satisfaction, and secretly said in her heart that the pharmacist was actually still a manual worker.

Don't look at it, whether it was Master Madison preparing the brain-sobering potion at the beginning, or Master Zhuo Ge just now, it seemed very easy, but after Alfie operated it himself, he realized that without a long period of hard work, if someone like him tried to prepare it recklessly, there was a 99% chance that he would fail.

In the whole preparation process, attention must be highly concentrated, if you are not careful, you will fail, and if you fail, those precious herbs will all be scrapped, which is definitely an unforgivable mistake for a guy like Alfi who cherishes his money, even if these herbs are actually provided by Master Zhuoge for free!

In other words, Alfie's greed for money is the main reason for the success of his preparation this time.
