Chapter 21: Chapter-20 Eternal Potions
In addition to basic theory and the use of equipment, this class also teaches the method of brewing potion to treat scabies. The so called cure for boils potion is simply a medicene for treating skin diseases.
But the process of naking potions needs to be very careful.
Improper preparation can cause the potion to cause boils rather than cure them. Unlike various spell subjects, the potion subject pays more attention to practice and does not teach much theoritical content.
After explaining the process and precautions, Snape divided the little students into two groups and started working directly.
Crucible, grinding bowl, scale, stirring rod, knife…
Except for not using alcohol lamps, the experimental facilities in the potions class are the same as Kaizo's previous chemistry classes. (According to Snape's explanation, the students skillfully handled the medicinal materials, weighed them, coated them in egg liquid, covered them with bread crumbs, heated a pan with oil, deep fried them untik gold brown, and the children from the next table looked so greedy, that they almost cried.…)
To make a pot of of qualified potion, you first need to take a few snake fangs, put them in a mortar, and grind them into powder. Then weigh a small amount of dried nettles and cut into sections for later use.
At the same time, add water to the crucible and bring it for a boil, then put the slugs with tentacles in them for steaming.
Add cold water repeatedly and boil it three times. Then drain the water in the crucible, take out the slugs, out them in a grinding bowl, and grind them into a paste.
Add water to the crucible again, bring it to boil over low heat, then add fang powder, dried nettles, and slug puree in sequence. Be careful to stir while adding.
Finally remove the cauldron from the fire and add the porcupine quills. Let the potion sit for a while. If the potions turns blue and pink smoke rises from the crucible, it means the potion has been brewed successfully. Kaizo's partner is his roomate Stephen.
But the entire cooking process is dominated by Kaizo.
This should not be surprising. After all, kaizo worked in a pharmacy in Diagon Alley during his summer vacation and had become quite skilled in handling medicinal materials. Steve watched with admiration the whole time as kaizo showed off his skills.
It was only now that he had discovered that kaizo was an all round genius, not only was he proficient in spells and knew the textbooks well, but he was quite good at practical subjects and in potions.
But only kaizo himself knew that having taken chemistry and biological experimental classes, he was very disdainful of wizard's potion making system.
In his previous chemistry class, all the experimental materials were accurate to mililiters and miligrams, and the heating and resting times were accurate to seconds, highlighting the professionalism and precision. As long as the process was followed exactly, the results would be almost the same.
Only by pursuing precise standarized experimental process at every step can we have standardized output and then develop large scale industrial production.
On the other hand, when a wizard makes a potion, it is full of words such as "a little" and "a moment" that all rely on feelings. Rather than saying it is a pharmaceutical process, it is more like cooking a recipe.
Producing potions relies entirely on the potioneer's sense.
Once the sense is wrong, it can easily lead to a big mistake. This means that potions will always be products of small workshops, and cannot be mass produced. With such problems, how could we successfully industrialize potions?
Just like now, kaizo watched helplessly as Neville tried to throw the porcupine quill directly into the crucible. With his quick eyesight and quick hands, he immediately waved his wand"[Wingardium Leviosa]"
The porcupine quill flew out of Neville's hand and fell into Kaizo's hand.
"Porcupine quills can't be released until the crucible is out of the fire." Kaizo reminded.
If kaizo hadn't stopped him, the pot of potion would explode just like in the original novel. The wrong potion would then fly everywhere, giving him red and swollen boils all over his body.
When Neville heard this, he suddenly realized what could have happened and muttered"Thank you…thank you kaizo."
Before kaizo could respond, Snape's hiss sounded in his ears"Our Mr.Grindel thinks that he can teach others just because he has the title of "Genius of Ravenclaw"?"
"For interfering with other people's brewing of potions, Ravenclaw will deduct 5 points."
In the original novel, the old bat was sarcastic and deducted points from Harry for not reminding Neville.
Now kaizo took the initiative to remind him, but he was still ridiculed and was deducted points.
This old bat is really difficult to please.
However, Kaizo's lesson was not without it's benefit.
[You have prepared a potion for the first time and mastered the skills of potion in practice. You gained the expertise[Potion Proficiency]]
[Potion Proficiency: Your stable techniques increases the success rate of your spontaneous potion refining and reduces chances of accidents.]
[In the process of refining the cure ofr boils potion, you had a flash of inspiration and realized the true meaning of using potions to change yourself. You combined the spells you mastered to create a new potion formula: The Elixir of Toughness of the Eternal Bear and the Power of the Eternal Bull. Elixir of Eternal Cat's Elegance, Eternal Fox's Cunning Elixir, Eternal Owl's Wisdom Elixir, and Eternal Eagle's Majestic Elixir.]
It actually a permanent potion.
Kaizo was greatly satisfied with the results of this epiphany.
For wizards, the ability to cast spells is of course the modt important, but physical fitness must not fall behind either.
Unfortunately, throughout the Harry Potter world, there are no potions that can improve the physical and mental qualities of wizards. If you want to become stronger, you can only work hard on your own. Kaizo also thought about when to start exercising.
If you want to be strong wizard, you must develop your moral, intellectual, physical, artistic skills at the same time, and make them go hand in hand.
Now there is a shortcut, then there is no need to work hard on yourself. The only concern is that the materials required for these potions are relatively precious and require time to collect.
For example, for [Eternal Ox Power Potion], the main material is the blood of Catoblepas. Since the supply of this blood is very small, it is rarely sold on the open market, and it is not so easy to get.
Another example is [Eternal Cat's Elegance Potion], which requires the tail tip of a kitsune, who has matured into a nine tailed fox, [Eternal Eagle's Majestic Potion], which requires Griffin's beak powder.
These are extremely rare materials from all over the world. If you want to buy them all, then you have to be prepared to spend a lot of money. The most deceptive thing is [Eternal Owl's Wisdom Elixir], the main material is the head feathers of the Owl Beast, but in Kaizo's impression, there are no owl beasts in the Harry Potter world. On the contrary, auxiliary materials are easier to obtain.
For example, moonstone, Bundimun tongue, Unicorn hair, etc. You can get them all in the Forbidden Forest.
"Damn it, I just swore not long ago, not to go the forbidden forest, but within a few days I'm going back on my word. I really can't keep up with the changes in the plan."
Kaizo was also quite helpless about this.
What else could he do?
As long as he can become stronger, it doesn't matter if you"woof" a few times. Anyway, he only swore to himself, that if he ever went to Forbidden Forest, he will be a dog. There is no problem now, because the fact that he kept such an oath is only known to himself.
In short, inventing a formula does not mean that attributes can be strengthened immediately.
But it's still a good start.
This also strengthened Kaizo's determination to make more money.
