With the injection of dark energy spells, the inside of the crucible, which was still a mess, immediately changed. The medicinal materials and water began to boil and roll, as if someone had ignited a fire below.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman knew that the formula must be working. Even Lin Sisi on the side also observed the changes in the pot through the special vision of the spirit detection technique. She just stared at it with joy on her face.
"It works! It actually moves on its own!"
Dane pointed to the pot and said that for him and Sam, this scene was exactly the same as the mysterious alchemy they imagined:
In a mysterious secret place, a powerful "magician" adds materials to the crucible, and the pot makes a "gurgling" sound, making people look forward to what kind of magical magic can be refined inside. medicine.
The two brothers were experiencing such a process personally at the moment, although they understood that the other party was not a so-called magician, but an awakened person from the Star Alliance.
But they just can't help but think in that direction, just like the good guy, every time they see Zhang Xiaoman using the Purple Sky Sword, they can't help but think about sword control.
Such an immersive experience gave them the feeling that fairy tales and legends had come true, which was extremely novel and exciting.
However, during the cooking process, the materials in the crucible became drier and drier. In the end, the fire went out and turned into a hard and sticky mass.
"What...what's going on? Did it fail?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Sam couldn't help but ask. If he remembered correctly, what the Star Master said just now was about refining some kind of potion, right? But looking at what's going on in the pot now, the word "potion" can't be related to it.
Zhang Xiaoman also frowned and watched all this. He was now also empowering the effect of the spirit detection technique. In his perception, the dark energy fluctuations that were originally surging in the pot decreased sharply, and in the end simply disappeared. And inside The thing has also turned into the hard-boiled rice cake-like appearance it has now.
"Did it fail?"
He has already made some guesses. After all, this thing is not like a potion. It is even more impossible to say that it is successful.
However, this situation had already been expected by him. Zhang Xiaoman had already made preparations before coming, and he brought enough materials for him to try many times.
"My steps just now were all correct, the dark energy formula was fine, and the material ratios were correct. What happened?"
Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused about the reason for this failure. After thinking for a while, he decided to try again.
"30 ml of soul-touching flower, 80 ml of pure water, 3 drops of snake venom, 5 grams of curculigo... Okay, all of this is fine, the next step is to inject dark energy..."
In this attempt, he took every step a little more seriously. Each ingredient was carefully weighed several times before being placed to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
With the injection of dark energy spells, the crucible began to boil again.
However, the result this time was no different from last time. The dark energy fluctuations in the pot also gradually decreased, until finally they disappeared completely. Along with it, the large amount of materials solidified into a stiff pot. .
"Failed again? Why is this happening? I have obviously followed the recorded steps..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked helplessly at the notebook he used to record the dark energy spells, trying to find out where he had gone wrong.
"Is it because I put too much asparagus? No, no, this should be fine. Maybe it's because I have too little water, but it's not necessarily... Forget it, I'll try again, and I must be more careful this time!"
Zhang Xiaoman searched for the reason in his heart for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He immediately decided to try a few more times.
…
Three hours later.
In Wenchern Manor, under an abandoned granary that was burned by flames, four people were working around a small crucible. Inside the crucible were some brown hard objects stuck together. A lot of this kind of waste residue has been dumped in the trash can.
Obviously, Zhang Xiaoman's inspiration potion was never produced. After hours of trying, it all ended in failure.
"What exactly is the problem? I'm sure all the steps are correct, but the refining always fails. Could it be that the recorded dark energy technique is wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the formula in his hand with some depression. He had failed 5 times now. Because each refining required more than 100 dark energy, his speed was not very fast, and he often had to After running out of mana, use the Starry Stone to generate a wave of energy, and then use teleportation to rush back.
The two Wen Cheen brothers looked helplessly at the crucible in front of them. They couldn't help but think of the scenes they had seen in those legends.
When magicians refine new potions, they need to go through countless failed attempts and accumulation before they can successfully create a finished potion.
Now after what happened just now, the two of them now agree with this statement. It seems that alchemy is not so easy to control. It is indeed not easy to configure a new potion. Thing.
"Dane, when will the next batch of soul-touching flowers mature?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the last portion of Soul Touching Flower juice in his hand and asked about their maturity time.
"According to my observations, it may take ten days for the next batch of Soul Touching Flowers to mature. That is the latest batch, and the quantity is not large. Maybe only a dozen bottles can be extracted in total."
Dane replied that the bottle he mentioned naturally refers to the amount required for one production, which is 30 ml.
"Ten days? It seems that the production of this inspiration potion may be delayed for a while..."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned and thought. He only had the last material left in his hand. If he failed this time, he would have to wait at least ten days to obtain the inspiration potion.
While he was thinking about the problem, Lin Sisi, who had been silently observing next to him, suddenly made some movement.
During the period just now, she would apply a psychic detection skill on herself every hour. Although her eyes could not see, her special dark energy perception still allowed her to clearly understand the darkness produced during the refining process. Can change.
At this moment, Lin Sisi seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately raised her head, and then looked at the person in front of her with her shining silver eyes.
"Star Lord, I know what the problem is..."
