Chapter 41 Attempts to Improve Potions Part 2

Facts have proved that it is still difficult to improve medicines.

When a potion recipe with multiple improved versions does not include the recipe you are thinking of, chances are that the recipe you are thinking of is not feasible.

This moment is an example.

Noah very calmly raised his wand and cast an iron armor spell to block the splashing potion.

Lu subconsciously took a step back and nodded to Noah, who cast the Iron Armor Curse in time: "Thank you."

He frowned and looked at the potion that was still gushing out like lava in front of him, and for a moment he didn't understand why.

"Idiot, why didn't you turn off the heat when you added ginger root?" Professor Snape stood behind the two of them at some point, staring gloomily at the crucible on the table, "Lu, I thought you at least remembered that ginger root is

What."

"Sorry, Professor." Lu was actually still wondering what went wrong, but he already apologized verbally and subconsciously.

Skillfully, Noah's eyelids twitched subconsciously.

"Lannister!" Sure enough, after training him, Snape turned to Noah again, "Since you are in the mood to cast the Iron Armor Curse, why don't you turn off the fire and let the crucible cool down, but show off your skillful defense magic here?

Curse? I remember I said, this is Potions class, you don’t need to wave your wand stupidly like an idiot!"

Noah: "...Sorry, Professor."

He admitted his mistake with a good attitude, lowered his eyebrows and put out the fire, letting the crucible gradually cool down.

Snape took a steady look at him. This time Noah did not look back at him, but lowered his head with a well-behaved look, which made Snape subconsciously frown.

This expression startled Lu Lu, who subconsciously said: "I'm sorry, Professor, it's my fault..."

"Of course it's your fault." Snape interrupted him, "Why don't you clean it up quickly and reflect on where you went wrong!"

After saying that, he strode away because something went wrong at the other table.

Seeing Snape leave, Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He suppressed the idea of ​​talking to Noah and honestly used a cleaning spell to clean up the splashing liquid.

Noah looked up at the screen thoughtfully.

The above is no longer a recipe, but a summary of some errors, which are the mistakes they made when improving and the consequences they caused.

Among them, Noah and his group were put in because they failed to cool the pot before putting the ginger roots.

Very rarely, at least their mistakes were recorded in a nonchalant manner, without any sarcastic tone.

After cleaning up, Lu planned to try again.

"I'll try lowering the temperature this time."

Noah silently handed him the materials and waited for their second attempt.

In fact, he wanted to try brewing an original pot of detoxification potion first, and then ponder the original appearance of the potion before trying to improve it.

But Professor Snape obviously didn't intend to let him get started on his first visit, and simply asked him to stay calm and see what others did.

Noah can only wait for his teammate to get a result first.

This time the journey was finally successful.

He carefully controlled the temperature and did not let the medicine spill out, adding the cut materials bit by bit.

Noah tilted his head and watched him do it, handing over materials when necessary.

About two hours later, Lu nodded: "It should be almost time."

They carefully put out the fire and waited for the potion in the crucible to cool down little by little.

Snape appeared next to them again like a ghost, inspecting their cauldron.

As the temperature cools, the liquid in the crucible gradually turns yellow-green.

The original potion should be green, but the ginger root they poured in added other colors to the potion.

Lu poured a little liquid medicine into a small glass bottle, ready to taste it first.

When he was about to drink, Snape's sinister voice sounded again: "If I were you, I wouldn't try to take a sip."

The person who drank the medicine froze, and for a moment he didn't dare to move.

His eyes widened, and then he slowly put down the bottle in his hand, as if he was afraid that the medicine inside would spill out.

"Ginger root, that's a good idea." Snape glanced at the road and sneered, "But before you did the experiment, you never thought about why ginger root, which is also a common detoxification ingredient, was not included in the ingredients of this potion.

?Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

Noah kept quiet with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart, pretending that he was just a background with no emotion.

But Snape didn't want to let him go: "Lannister, tell me, what are the characteristics of ginger root!"

"Ginger root is spicy in nature and is often used to make cold medicine. Its juice can dispel cold, stop vomiting, and warm symptoms such as heat and cold."

"Palace Berry."

"Spicy in nature, it is often used as a medicine to remove dampness and cold."

"Two spicy ingredients have been boiled for a long time. Do you plan to make the person who drinks this potion have nosebleeds to death?" He glanced at the two of them and sneered again, "I almost forgot, it doesn't necessarily cause nosebleeds.

Nosebleeds can lead to death, or direct bleeding. Why, you don’t really think that ginger root is the universal antidote. If you like, you can ask those house elves to give you enough gingerbread instead of trying to cook any kind of gingerbread.

When planting the antidote, I always thought of adding some ginger root!”

Lu's face changed, turning blue and white for a while, looking a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, Professor."

Noah was thoughtful... It seemed that this senior had successfully used ginger root before, so he was obsessed with ginger root when preparing this potion.

No wonder the professor didn't say anything before and just stood beside them and watched when they were brewing.

Maybe it's just waiting for them to come out with the results.

To some extent, forget about this professor's bad taste?

Noah felt for a moment that he seemed to have realized something.

Professor Snape aggressively sprayed the venom and saw that both of them lowered their heads and did not retort, and finally left with satisfaction.

The time is almost up. It takes two hours to brew this kind of potion in one pot. Noah and the others have boiled it almost twice. Although they both failed, nearly four hours have passed.

Snape looked around again: "Let's stop here for this activity. Go back and use your brains. I think you will at least not be stupider than the troll."

All the little wizards hurriedly responded and quickly left the classroom.

Although potions are interesting, Professor Snape is not interesting at all.

As for those who were left to clean the classroom... Yun Bei.

When he came out, Lu remained silent and didn't speak. He even forgot to say hello to Noah and left directly.

Noah didn't care. He returned to the lounge and needed to check on Keya's condition first.
