The Craft of Recovery Potions, Three Possibilities
Until nearly evening.
Tang Zheng consumed seven stalks of Heat Grass before the color of the Alchemy Solution finally stabilized into a woody-yellow liquid.
He tested the extent of the wound recovery, and it far exceeded the effect achieved by merely covering the wound with medicinal powder.
Seeing this situation.
Tang Zheng's face didn't show a happy expression, but instead, he frowned slightly.
After a brief moment of thought.
He exhausted the little Mana he had just recovered once again, casting Item Appraisal on the Alchemy Solution he had created.
Buzz—
Item: Inferior Alchemy Solution
Effect: Made using the herb "Heat Grass," a solution with hemostatic and disinfecting properties. Contains a trace amount of 1 point of health recovery upon consumption.
(Cannot be preserved for long; effects will be completely lost within one hour.)
Looking at the information from the Item Appraisal, Tang Zheng frowned even more deeply.
With an Alchemist and Apothecary of a higher level than Nfirea, the potion he created could only be described as inferior?
Tang Zheng initially obtained the Apothecary class from Nfirea because he wanted to make his own potions to increase his endurance during battles.
But now it seems, he thought a little too simply.
He knew too little about herbs; the medicinal properties of different herbs, whether they could be combined, the dosage, and so on, were all problems.
These pieces of knowledge alone would take time to master; it wasn't as he imagined, where he could just activate a skill and create it directly.
And time! Was what he lacked the most at the moment.
The Alchemy Solution he had created was just a clever way to fully utilize the medicinal effects of the herb.
It didn't even count as a low-level potion!
Potions in this other world and potions in the YGGDRASIL game were actually two completely different things.
According to the crafting process of both, potions can be divided into three major categories based on the materials used in Pharmacy.
① Potions made from herbs! ② Potions made jointly from herbs and magic!
③ Potions made solely from magic.
The first type of potion-making process is the most common in this other world. The price is very cheap, and it is a very cost-effective treatment method for ordinary people and low-level Adventurers.
The second type of crafting process produces potions with more excellent effects, which can be used by Adventurers in battle, and naturally, the price is more expensive.
As for the third type, it does not exist in this other world!
In fact, the second and third methods were the common ways to make potions in YGGDRASIL, but the second process!
The Apothecaries in this other world have already embarked on a path completely different from that in the game.
Since the healing potions from YGGDRASIL, the so-called Blood of God, exist in this other world.
Then Bone King once speculated on the reason why Apothecaries cannot create this potion.
There are only three possibilities.
① The knowledge passed down by the Players who descended into this other world, the crafting process has been lost.
② Apothecaries like Nfirea simply don't know about it; this technology exists in other countries or more distant lands.
③ Healing potions in YGGDRASIL must use materials from YGGDRASIL to be made.
And this other world obviously does not have the materials from the game, so the method of making Blood of God has naturally been lost as well.
In Tang Zheng's eyes, he clearly leaned towards the third possibility among these three.
He even suspected that if Nfirea could create Red Potions in the future, it might be possible that he used materials provided by the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Perhaps, through Nfirea's research, fewer materials were consumed.
Otherwise!
The Slane Theocracy spent two to three hundred years and a costly price to create Red Potions, yet Nfirea completely surpassed them in less than a year. It was truly unbelievable.
Coming back to his senses.
He had neither the time nor anyone to teach him about potions and herbs, nor could he gain the relevant skills of a profession by leveling up, as in the game.
Even if there was indeed magic that could create potions with a simple rub of the hands, he had no way to learn it.
"It seems now."
"The idea of making my own potions to increase my own foundation is a bit unrealistic." Tang Zheng sighed helplessly.
As for the Alchemist profession?
From what he learned from Nfirea, in the minds of most Apothecaries, Alchemy was more like an auxiliary profession to assist in the production of healing potions.
In fact.
Among the many life professions in YGGDRASIL, Alchemists had a broader status than Apothecaries.
Combined with professions such as Artisans, Puppeteers, Blacksmiths, and Golem Artisans, they could exert powerful professional effects.
Upper-level professions like Alchemy Master and Gunner could even allow Alchemy to exert combat power far exceeding other production professions! Unfortunately.
Tang Zheng could not afford to waste his limited margin for error to learn the upper-level professions of Alchemist or professions that could be combined with it.
Without the specialization bonus of an upper-level profession.
Learning only the basic professions of life-type professions was not of much significance in the game.
So.
The Alchemist profession, like the Apothecary, seemed useless to him?
Hmm~ Tang Zheng lowered his head and pondered.
He couldn't completely apply the situation in the game to reality, and vice versa.
"The role of Alchemy is to create Alchemy Solutions, the effects of which are simpler and more direct, and perhaps it doesn't necessarily have to be an auxiliary process for making potions."
Tang Zheng had a pensive look on his face, silently thinking in his heart.
For example, he could temporarily create some Alchemy Solutions containing various effects.
The only drawback was that Alchemy Solutions were not easy to preserve, and would quickly deteriorate over time, losing their effectiveness.
This was not a problem.
Grandmother Lizzie had mastered a magic called Preservation, which could keep the medicinal effects for up to a year.
After all, potions made in other worlds had a deterioration phenomenon where the effects gradually diminished over time.
Mastering the magic of Preservation was very important to Apothecaries in other worlds.
With this idea.
Tang Zheng felt much better. He looked up at the darkening sky and simply set up camp on the bank of the small river.
Beside him.
Great Goblin Muguoguo lay obediently on the ground, only occasionally casting fearful and awed glances at Tang Zheng's small movements, proving that he had not died.
Under the witness of this period of time.
Great Goblin Muguoguo had seen too many incredible things from Tang Zheng, such as the fact that as long as the other party waved his hand, the Goblin corpses on the ground would all disappear.
