Chapter 56: Crafting Recovery Potions, Three Possibilities

Until near evening.

Tang Zheng consumed seven Hot Leaves before the color of the alchemy solution finally stabilized in the state of a wood-yellow liquid.

He experimented with the degree of wound recovery, which far exceeded the effect achieved by only covering the wound with powder.

Seeing such a situation.

Tang Zheng didn't show a happy look on his face; instead, he frowned slightly.

After thinking for a short while.

He consumed the magic power that had just recovered and was not much, and cast "Item Identification" on the alchemy solution he had made.

Hum—

Item: Inferior · Alchemy Solution

Effect: Made using the medicinal herb "Hot Leaf," a solution with hemostatic and disinfectant effects; after drinking, it contains a trace effect of restoring 1 point of life value.

(Cannot be preserved for a long time; the effect will be completely lost within one hour.)

Looking at the information identified by Item Identification, Tang Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper.

In the case of having higher-level Alchemist and Pharmacist than Nfirea, the potion produced can only be described as inferior.

Tang Zheng obtained the Pharmacist class from Nfirea initially because he wanted to make potions himself to increase his endurance during combat.

But now it seems that he thought about it too simply.

He knows too little about medicinal herbs; the medicinal properties of different herbs, whether they can be matched, the dosage, etc., are all problems.

Just these pieces of knowledge require time to master, and it is not the case that he can just rub it out by activating a skill as he imagined.

And time!

On the contrary, it is what is most lacking at present.

The alchemy solution produced now is just a tricky way to fully exert the medicinal effect of the herbs.

It doesn't even count as a low-rank potion!

Potions in the Other World and potions in the "Yggdrasil" game are actually two completely different things.

According to the production process of the two, depending on the materials used for pharmacy, potions can be divided into three major categories.

1. Potions made from medicinal herbs!

2. Potions made from both medicinal herbs and magic!

3. Potions made only with magic.

The first type of potion production process is the most common one in the Other World; the price is very cheap, and for commoners and low-level adventurers, it is a very cost-effective treatment method.

The second type of production process produces potions with more excellent effects, which can be used by adventurers in combat; naturally, the price is also more expensive.

As for the third type, it does not exist in the Other World!

In fact, the second and third methods are the ways potions are commonly made in "Yggdrasil."

But the second process!

Pharmacists in the Other World have already walked a path completely different from that in the game.

Since there are healing potions in "Yggdrasil," the so-called "God's Blood," in the Other World.

Then Ainz once speculated on the reason why pharmacists cannot produce such potions.

There are only three possibilities.

1. The knowledge passed down by players who descended into the Other World, the production process was lost.

2. Nfirea and these pharmacists simply don't know; this technology exists in other countries or more distant lands.

3. Healing potions in "Yggdrasil" must be made using materials in "Yggdrasil."

And the Other World clearly does not have the materials in the game, so the method of making "God's Blood" naturally followed and was lost.

These three possibilities, in Tang Zheng's eyes, clearly lean more toward the third one.

Tang Zheng even suspects that in the future, when Nfirea can produce red potions, it might be because he used materials provided by the "Great Tomb of Nazarick." Perhaps, through Nfirea's research, fewer materials were consumed.

Otherwise!

It is too incredible that the Slane Theocracy spent two or three hundred years and needed to consume expensive costs to produce red potions, only to be completely surpassed by Nfirea in less than a year.

Coming back to his senses.

There is neither time nor anyone to teach him knowledge about potions and medicinal herbs, and he cannot obtain relevant skills of the class by raising the class level like in the game.

Even if there is magic that can rub out potions with both hands, he has no way to learn it.

"Now it seems."

"The idea of wanting to make potions myself to increase my own foundation is somewhat unrealistic." Tang Zheng sighed helplessly.

As for the Alchemist class?

From Nfirea, he learned that in the concepts of most pharmacists, alchemy is more like an auxiliary class to cooperate with the production of healing potions.

=9+Shu_ba

In fact.

Among the many life classes in "Yggdrasil," Alchemist possesses a broader status than Pharmacist.

Matching with some classes like Craftsman, Puppeteer, Blacksmith, Golem Craftsman, etc., it can exert powerful class effects.

Like "Alchemy Master," "Gunner," and other high-level classes, they can make alchemy exert combat power far exceeding other production classes!

Unfortunately.

Tang Zheng cannot waste limited error tolerance to learn high-level classes of Alchemist or classes that can be matched.

Without the specialization added by high-level classes.

If life-type classes only learn basic classes, they don't have much meaning in the game.

Then.

The Alchemist class seems to be of no use to him, just like Pharmacist?

Hmm~

Tang Zheng lowered his head and thought.

One cannot completely apply the situation in the game to reality, and vice versa.

"The role of 'Alchemy' is to make alchemy solutions; the effect is simpler and cruder; perhaps it doesn't necessarily have to be used as an auxiliary process for making potions."

Tang Zheng showed a thoughtful look on his face and silently thought in his heart.

For example, one can temporarily make some alchemy solutions with various effects.

The only disadvantage is that alchemy solutions are not easy to preserve; they will deteriorate quickly over time and lose their effects.

This point is not a problem.

Grandmother Liji has mastered the magic called "Preservation," which can keep the medicinal effect for a year.

After all, potions produced in the Other World all have the deterioration phenomenon where the effect gradually loses over time.

Mastering the "Preservation" magic is very important for pharmacists in the Other World.

With this idea.

Tang Zheng's mood was much better; he looked up at the darkening sky and simply set up camp on the bank of this small river.

On the side.

The Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo was lying on the ground obediently, only occasionally using fearful, awe-filled eyes to carefully look at Tang Zheng's small movements, proving that it hadn't died.

Witnessing this period.

The Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo had seen too many incredible things from Tang Zheng, such as the other party just waving his hand, and those goblin corpses on the ground would all disappear.
