Rise of the Dark Witch

All the people who were waiting with bated breath for the test results suddenly changed from silence to noise after hearing the conclusion of the pharmacist Huto.

"Haha, I just said it's impossible!"

"He actually made a bunch of substandard potions to fool him. Does he think the pharmacists union is a fool?"

"If it doesn't work, it just won't work. How can I pretend to be a good person?"

"When I saw him showing up with a carriage pulling a thousand bottles of medicine, I was almost frightened. It turned out that what he was pulling was just a pile of waste."

Listening to the words of pharmacist Hu Tuo, Mai Qi's face, which was full of confidence a second ago, suddenly changed.

She looked at Roja frequently and held her little hand nervously.

Looking at Hu Tuo, the pharmacist who looked fooled, snorted and turned to leave, Roja said: "It's not a good idea to make a decision so quickly, isn't it?"

"What decision do you want me to make?" Pharmacist Hu Tuo glared at Roja, "Except for their appearance, how can these potions of yours be considered cattle blood potions?"

"It may be a little different from ordinary cow blood potion, but its efficacy is undoubtedly a real cow blood potion." Roja said.

"Efficacy?" Pharmacist Hu Tuo looked stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Did you modify the formula or the refining steps?"

"That's right." Roja nodded.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

Even though the Ox Blood Potion is just a primary potion, one would think that it can be easily improved and optimized.

It is better to say that it is precisely because it is a primary potion. In the hundreds or thousands of years since its invention, countless pharmacists have refined and studied it, including many legendary potion masters.

It can be said that every primary medicine has been optimized to the extreme and has reached the point where it can be called the optimal solution.

Throughout history, countless pharmacists have proposed improvements, but all ended in failure.

Increase drug efficacy by fifty percent?

Too bad the price doubled.

Can using cheaper materials reduce the cost by 20% while maintaining the same efficacy?

Only senior pharmacists can refine it.

Can several people cooperate in mass production and produce dozens of bottles a day?

Only people with similar minds can work together to achieve success.

There are too many improvement plans, but unfortunately they all have great limitations, and in the end none of them can be promoted.

There are so many talented pharmacists who have been studying things that they can't do in their entire lives, but Luo Ya, a little junior pharmacist, actually succeeded in just one month?

Do not make jokes!

Roya's transformation from junior pharmacist to senior pharmacist in just one month is more credible than improving junior pharmacy.

Because this kind of genius has not never happened in history.

Facing everyone's doubts, Roja's face remained calm, "Wouldn't you know if it's true or false if you try it?"

Yes, the potion is right here. It’s a lie that can be exposed with just one try. Does Roja need to say it?

So what Roja said...is it true?

"impossible?"

"Could it be that he is a once-in-a-thousand-year-old genius of the beast genre?"

"He was just acting. Are you really deceived by him?"

Whether it's true or not, it won't be long before the answer comes.

Looking at the pharmacist Hu Tuo who was holding the medicine in his hand and pouring it into his mouth, everyone present had their mouths closed tightly, and the entire mission building became extremely quiet.

"Gulu——"

Pharmacist Huto's swallowing sound was so loud.

Pharmacist Hu Tuo, who took a small sip of the potion, closed his eyes and felt the effects of the potion, then his expression gradually changed.

Suddenly he opened his eyes!

Looking at Roja with disbelief!

"If you don't believe me, you can test a few more bottles." Roja said with a smile.

Hu Tuo, the pharmacist, was not reserved.

He opened all the boxes on the carriage and took out a bottle of medicine from each box.

From the action of Hu Tuo, the pharmacist, everyone had already guessed what was going on.

"No way?"

"It can't be true, right?"

"It must be a lie!"

However, what the pharmacist Hu Tuo said next shattered everyone's luck.

"Ox blood agent? Are these all cow blood agents?" Pharmacist Hu Tuo grabbed Roja's arm with both hands, his eyes widening as never before.

"The potion test has been completed, and the handover of the potion task has been completed. How about we go into the room and talk slowly about the next thing?" Roja said with a smile.

"……good!"

Pharmacist Hu Tuo pulled Roja eagerly to the highest-level reception room in the mission building, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to call the vice president.

…

Roja left, leaving only a stunned group of people outside the door.

"It's actually true?"

"Vic really improved the ox blood potion? Can he refine a thousand bottles a month?"

"If he can maintain this refining speed, just by refining the ox blood potion, he can easily become a rich man with an annual income of over 10,000 gold coins, right?"

In addition to feeling shocked, many people's eyes fell on Heidi.

Heidi was the one who assigned this task to Vic and made things difficult for Vic.

"He awakened a sleeping beast."

"Who would have thought that Vic is actually a pharmacy genius that is rare to see in a thousand years in the Beast School?"

"Now he's good-looking."

Under the attention of everyone, Heidi's face became extremely pale.

"Vic Cyril!" Heidi chanted Vic's name hatefully, lowered his head and left the mission building.

…

Reception room.

Vice President Pad rushed over after getting the news.

As the vice-president of the Scarborough Market Pharmacist's Union branch, it is usually very difficult for others to see Pad. Even those with status and status have to queue up.

But today, after receiving the news, he appeared in front of Roja with two students in less than half an hour.

Vice President Pad held the improved version of the ox blood potion refined by Roja and stared at Roja with squinted eyes, "Did you refine this bottle of ox blood potion?"

"Yes." Roja nodded, "And I plan to submit the improved new refining method to the Pharmacist Guild."

"oh?"

Although Vice President Pad was excited, he did not lose his mind.

The improved primary potion is amazing, but if the improved refining method can only be used by Roja himself, or if it has great limitations, it will not be of much use.

The main reason why he hurried over here was actually to get to know Roya, a genius pharmacist.

Improved cow blood potion formula?

It was probably the same as the previous improvements, and he didn't hold out hope.

"My improved ox blood potion has added three medicinal materials, replaced two original materials, and added five more steps, but the cost has not changed. It can be refining five bottles at a time, and the refining time for each time is the same as before. One hour, and..." Roja smiled slightly, "The difficulty of refining has dropped compared to before."

Click!

The water glass in Vice President Pad's hand suddenly shattered.

"Facts speak louder than words, I can demonstrate it to you now." Roja said.

Everyone left the mission building and came to a potion refining room.

Ten fresh ox blood potion refining materials have already been placed in the potion refining room.

The refining demonstration of the improved version of the ox blood potion has officially begun.

"Why are you still standing here?" Looking at Roja standing motionless, Vice President Pad was confused.

"Didn't I say that? The difficulty of refining the new version of the Ox Blood Potion is greatly reduced compared to the original version. I don't need to take action at all. My maid is enough to refine it." Roja replied.

"Maid?" Vice President Pad was stunned.

"It was Mercy, the medicine servant we assigned to Pharmacist Vic when he moved into our Young Lions Home." When Vice President Pad was puzzled, someone on the side explained to him in a low voice.

"Is there anything special about this Maisie?"

"No."

"A maid who has only received some simple teachings on the basics of pharmacy can actually refine primary potions? Can she refine a thousand bottles of primary potions in a month?"

Vice President Pad didn't believe it at all, but looking at Maisie who was refining the ox blood potion smoothly, he had to accept this fact.

At first he was still taking chances.

Maybe this maid named Maisie is a pharmacy genius who was buried by them?

Although she is just a maid, her pharmacy level is actually that of a junior pharmacist, or even more powerful?

However, looking at Macy's mistakes in refining the medicine, as well as her novice's handling of medicinal materials, which was full of flaws, Vice President Pad had to admit a fact -

Maisie's pharmacy level is definitely the best among the maids, but she is only the best among the maids!

Not to mention compared to a real pharmacist, even an ordinary pharmacist apprentice can beat her by three blocks!

A person of this level can actually refine elementary potions?

Vice President Pad scratched his head irritably, and his already sparse hair fell out one by one.

Knowing that Vice President Pad was irritated, Roya took out the notebook he had prepared and handed it over, "Vice President Pad, the refining time of the potion is a bit long and boring. I'll do it for you while I'm at it." How about explaining the revised Ox Blood Potion and watching the refining of the potion at the same time?"

"Exactly what I want!" Vice President Pad nodded quickly.

Vice President Pad was flipping through his notebook and listening to Roja's explanation, asking one or two questions from time to time.

Although Macy hasn’t refined the potion yet, Vice President Pad already knows——

Everything Roja said is true!

With Vice President Pad's level as a top pharmacist, he only needs to read and listen to it once to fully understand the theory of the new version of the Ox Blood Potion.

When I didn’t know, I thought it was unbelievable and thought it was impossible to do it.

Only after understanding it did I realize that it was so simple?

It turns out that by just adding a few steps and modifying one or two materials, the refining speed and difficulty of the ox blood potion can be greatly reduced?

He couldn't help but ask Roja where the inspiration came from, and wanted to know how Roja came up with this improvement method.

Inspiration is something that is hard to come by, and he doesn't expect Roja to explain it clearly.

However, Roja actually explained it!

List the books that come from inspiration one by one!

The knowledge that Roja used to improve the cow blood medicine this time came from no less than a hundred books, many of which were very popular.

But who among the people present has not read hundreds or thousands of books?

Which person has a low reserve of knowledge?

Even the more than 100 books listed by Roja, many of them present have read them. Vice President Pad can even remember which chapter and page the knowledge Roja mentioned comes from.

But when I read the same book, I also memorized all the contents in the book.

Why can Roja use this knowledge to improve the cow blood medicine, but they can't?

Pharmacists hundreds of thousands of years ago couldn't do the same?

Because Luo Ya has integrated all the knowledge he has learned and has completely understood the books he read!

horrible!

Those geniuses who rely on unspeakable intuition to refine various difficult potions are very admirable.

Those geniuses who are born with strange physiques and have great advantages in potion refining are very enviable.

But people like Luo Ya who have thoroughly understood all the knowledge, understand every step and every ingredient of the medicine, and have every step of improvement well-founded and traceable, are truly awe-inspiring!

This is the genius of hard work!

It seems that other people can achieve it through hard work, but in fact, even if they work hard to death, it is impossible to match it. The so-called "hard-working genius" scam!

"Submit the improved ox blood potion to the Pharmacist Guild. What do you want to get?" Vice President Pad asked before Maisie could refine the potion.

Improving a bottle of primary potion will have a greater impact on the pharmacist union than hiring a hundred potion masters!

In particular, Roja's improvements are not ordinary improvements, not just a little optimization, but earth-shaking changes!

If the new version of Ox Blood Potion became popular, the impact on the entire Six Nations would be immeasurable.

It can be said that in this case, as long as Roja's request is not too excessive, it will be met.

"My family has spent a lot of money to support me as a pharmacist. If possible, I hope the pharmacists union can take care of my family," Roja said.

"That's it?" Vice President Pad asked in surprise.

"I hope that within ten years, it will be kept secret who improved the cow blood potion." Roja added.

"What else?" Vice President Pad asked.

"That's enough." Roja smiled.

He took advantage of Vic's identity and pinned his achievements in improving the ox blood medicine on Vic. It was enough to help Vic's family improve their living environment.

As for more…

The convoy heading to Green City is about to set off. It won't be long before he abandons his identity as Vic. Other rewards are of little use to him.

Vice President Pad stared at Roja for a long time.

"Our pharmacists union will reward you with a share of the prescriptions and improved refining techniques submitted by the pharmacists in the union, and we will give those rewards to your family."

"After that, I will recommend you to enter the inner courtyard. I hope that you will go to Green City to continue your studies in pharmacy under the guidance of a potion master, so that you can make greater contributions to our pharmacists union."

…

Dusk.

Vice President Pad reluctantly sent Roja away.

Looking at the figure disappearing under the sunset, Vice President Pad said with emotion: "A pure person who is dedicated to exploring the path of pharmacy."

"Teacher, he is so powerful. He has improved the ox blood potion that no one has succeeded in for hundreds of thousands of years. As a rare genius in a thousand years, he will definitely become a powerful potion master in the future, right?" The student who has been silent on the side Couldn't help but ask.

"Magician?" Vice President Pad shook his head.

"Isn't it possible?" the student asked strangely.

"He is very powerful, and his understanding and application of the basics of pharmacy are beyond the reach of us old men, but he..." Vice President Pad regretted: "He is too rational, and he really wants to understand the principles of refining all pharmaceuticals. , during the conversation with him, I could not feel the spirituality that every genius pharmacist possesses.”

"Spirituality?"

"Every genius is born with a unique, uncontrollable and incomprehensible spirituality that comes to mind when refining potions."

“Is spirituality so important?”

"Yes! And the more difficult it is to refine a potion, the more important spirituality is!" Vice President Pad looked at the direction in which Roya disappeared, "Vic Cyril, he is destined to be a person who will leave a mark in the history of pharmacists. He is a pharmacist with a lot of skills, but I am not optimistic about how far he can go in pharmacy..."

Vice President Pad's two students looked at each other.

Such a powerful Roja, their teacher actually said that he was not optimistic about him?

Although a little unreasonable, his teacher's vision is unmistakable.

It's quite ridiculous to think that a pharmacist who can create huge waves in the entire pharmacists union is actually a pharmacist with an average talent for pharmacy.
