Chapter 23 Processing Bauhinia
Chapter 23 Processing Bauhinia
But how is he supposed to refine the potion for the three stars?
The difficulty of refining was not a problem for Lynn.
Regardless of whether he can refine it or not, as long as he is within the same level, he has a 33% success rate.
It's just a minor issue of its low rank.
This can be solved simply by practicing more to improve his proficiency.
The real question is, how is Lynn going to explain this to the suspicious Brown Narell?
He promised to reach the level of old Turner in a month, which was already quite astonishing.
If I were to say today that I am capable of producing the Mid-Star Potion, Brown would probably be suspicious.
Lynn carefully considered the risks involved.
He finally decided to refine the Mid-Star Potion today!
Of course, he started with the lowest difficulty level, five stars, and he couldn't let anyone know that he could successfully refine it now.
So it has to be the same routine as before.
Keep the good ones for yourself, and hand over the low-quality or even failed ones.
This way, Lynn's hard work can be demonstrated, and others will not be suspicious.
I just don't know how far Brown can tolerate me.
The materials for mid-to-three-star potions are extremely rare, and their prices are vastly different from those of low-to-three-star potions.
If Lynn wants to continue to exploit people without worry, she must be careful to maintain a proper balance.
Perhaps it's necessary to occasionally hand in a bottle of low-quality, medium-three-star potion.
Thinking of this, Lynn felt a pang of heartache.
These were originally supposed to be his medicine!
Lynn quickly finished the juicy lamb chops and white bread on her plate.
Lynn took a nap.
When Old Turner and the other alchemists returned to the workshop, Lynn went to find them.
"What? You're going to refine a mid-level three-star potion right now?"
Old Turner was shocked.
Has Lynn gone mad?
His impression of Lynn worsened.
Old Turner frowned and said, "I looked at the potion you handed in this morning, and the quality is very poor. Young man, you are simply not capable of refining mid-to-three-star potions right now; it would be a waste of materials to try."
Lynn shook her head.
"Mr. Turner, didn't you say that the Baron has given me the authority to allocate any materials? I'd like to try it out."
Turner snorted coldly and said nothing.
If Lynn had been more respectful, perhaps he would have reminded him that every copper coin the Baron received wasn't free, and that he would eventually pay the price for it.
But since this kid was so arrogant, old Turner naturally lost his good intentions in giving him a warning.
Soon, two sets of potion materials of five-star difficulty were delivered.
The potion Lynn was preparing to concoct was the Bauhinia Bear Heart Potion.
The main ingredients are bauhinia, bear's heart, and some auxiliary stone powder.
The most expensive material here is Bauhinia.
It typically grows on cliff edges.
Not only are they very difficult to harvest, but they are also extremely rare.
Compared to other materials, bear heart is actually a cheaper option.
Lynn picked up the scalpel and cut open the still-warm bear heart.
So fresh, it's likely that Brown Narell is keeping a pack of live bears on his estate.
My lord, you are incredibly wealthy.
With that in mind, Lynn shaved off the excess fat and fascia from the bear's heart.
He put the processed bear heart into a hand-cranked blender and ground it into a paste.
Then add preservative stone powder and stone powder to neutralize the medicinal properties, and you're done.
Next, he had to deal with the Bauhinia grass.
This is the second most difficult part of refining the Bauhinia Bear Heart Elixir.
The Bauhinia plant has a serrated shape and a layer of downy hairs on the outside.
This medicine only requires the herb itself, not the outer hairs.
However, while removing the downy hairs, the grass leaf tissue must not be damaged, otherwise the material will lose its medicinal properties and become useless.
This requires the refiner to have extremely high patience and observation skills.
Generally speaking, materials that require meticulous processing need to be handled by a team over a long period of time, which is why a high-star potion takes a long time to make.
These are just the materials needed for the first-tier potion.
Lynn had seen those high-level potions in the book, and the material processing conditions required for them were even more demanding.
Some of them use large-scale magical devices that are so expensive they could buy an entire small kingdom.
Some require harsh natural environments such as volcanoes and thunderstorms.
Even more extreme, some require the help of legendary creatures to complete.
For example, the stomach acid of a red dragon, the saliva of an elven woman, and so on...
Compared to those, a mere Bauhinia grass is nothing.
But this is clearly a significant challenge for Lynn right now.
Lynn spent an entire afternoon working on it and barely managed to complete one-third of it.
Once it's time to leave work, the alchemy workshop is closed, and no one is allowed to enter.
The manor offers accommodation, and some alchemists live there.
Lynn, on the other hand, chose to take a horse-drawn carriage home.
Lynn stepped into the carriage and sat down on the velvet cushion.
As soon as Lynn sat down, he sensed that something was wrong.
There's something under the cushion.
It's like a letter.
Lynn remained calm until the guards locked the car doors for him before pulling the item out from under the seat.
The carriage was dark, but that did not impair Lynn's vision.
With the help of the Shadow Scout, Lynn's dark vision was naturally enhanced.
By the moonlight filtering through the crack in the car door, Lynn could see the contents of the letter.
........................
To Lynn
Meet at the White Horse Tavern tonight. Password: Elegant Breeze.
Members of the Iporto Restoration Association
夜狐
........................
Lynn put the letter in his pocket.
They are members of the Restoration Society.
They actually sent in a new batch of people so quickly.
The fact that they used code names instead of names indicates that they have lost trust in themselves.
Of course, this could also be a test set for him by Brown Narell.
Should he go tonight or not?
Lynn pondered for a long time.
Ultimately, Lynn made her decision.
go with!
His goal was to kill Brown Narell.
Therefore, after he makes his move, he must consider his escape route.
His only way out was the Kingdom of Sirnus.
Connecting with them in advance is a way to prepare for the plan.
Perhaps he will need the Restoration Society's help at that time.
Whether this was a test by Brown Narell is irrelevant.
Lynn's identity as an alchemist was too attractive to him.
As long as he demonstrates his value, Brown won't touch him; at most, he'll just deprive him of more freedom.
This step was worth the gamble.
The carriage arrived at its destination quickly.
The knight unlocked the carriage door and bowed respectfully.
Lynn is home.
He went inside the house first.
I went out again not long after dinner.
Along the way, he carefully observed whether anyone was following him.
Fortunately, Baron Brown did not impose such strict surveillance on Lynn.
Perhaps they looked down on his abilities, or perhaps they knew he couldn't abandon his family.
In short, Lynn thanked him for his decision.
After turning left and right, we asked for directions twice more.
He only needs to cross two more streets to reach the White Horse Tavern.
Just as Lynn was about to lower her guard, a man's rough, hairy hand reached out.
Lynn easily dodged it, then looked back warily, his hand resting on the sword behind him.
"Second Uncle?"
Lynn was somewhat taken aback.
He never expected to run into his second uncle, Ge Lang, at this time.
Grand was dressed in an exquisite long gown, and his hair was styled very meticulously.
Beside him was a young woman he didn't recognize.
She clung to her second uncle's arm, looking at him with a hint of disdain.
Uncle Glen was equally surprised that Lynn could appear in the city at night.
"Lynn, it really is you."
Why aren't you staying in the countryside? Are you working as a servant in the city now?
Hearing such contemptuous and shameless words, Lynn subconsciously clenched his fists.
That bastard who stole his family fortune hasn't changed a bit all these years...
