Chapter 242: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 105
This feeling was especially common in the various gadgets the Wei Silai twins had brought out over the past few days.
While pondering, Sien released a Scourgify, cleaning the corridor and the twins.
Then he looked at the Wei Silai twins, nodded politely with a faint smile, and headed toward the rotating staircase.
"Do you think he felt it? Alchemy cannot afford to lose a genius."
Fred spat out a piece of colored paper and stuffed the white mice back into the cracker box.
"Of course, that is—"
George raised an eyebrow.
"The great—Green."
The two of them tucked the color-pack crackers away and entered a secret passage with their eyes closed.
Ever since Hogwarts Castle had been shrouded in a thin layer of white, Sien had been studying alchemy diligently, especially the twins' notes, even though they were often filled with whimsical content and extremely brief descriptions.
But undoubtedly, these brief notes were ten times better than those vague, obscure books.
Perhaps alchemists feared that future generations would easily crack the mysteries of alchemy, or perhaps alchemical scholars did it to highlight the mystery of alchemy.
Alchemical books were filled with various symbols and metaphors, almost like Michael's sleep-talking—saying whatever came to mind.
For example: 【A circular drawing with spell-like magic is an invention of ancient magic, used by anyone who harbors some special or secret purpose in their heart. He uses it to protect himself from "dangers of the soul," which threaten him from the outside.】
This was an "illusion" in the field of alchemy; the circular drawing written in the book was the Runic expression of a Confundus Charm, the secret behind how the Leaky Cauldron excluded Muggles.
Isn't it wonderful? But without having read "Alchemy: A First Glimpse," "Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes," and "The Fifth Element: Exploration" all at once, no one would know the meaning of this circle.
It appeared in "Alchemy: A First Glimpse," yet was explained in "The Fifth Element: Exploration." In the end, only a wizard proficient in "Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" could understand what it referred to.
In short, the mysterious nature of alchemy sparked more of Sien's interest, especially since this characteristic seemed rooted in the entire field of alchemy.
It seemed as if it were meant to be... a mysterious magic.
Compared to this, Potions was much better; Sien had just finished organizing the Fusion Enlightenment Method, forming a temporarily complete system for the Potion Will Domain.
After this, relying on this method, any wizard could brew potions, even if they were of mediocre talent and only barely familiar with the potion-brewing process.
But that didn't matter.
You only need to believe, and leave the rest to magic.
It could be foreseen how much of an impact this entire theory would have on the field of Potions.
And today, Sien was carrying this complete manuscript to the dungeon.
This made him feel that this trip was full of historical significance.
The cold wind in the dungeon was always biting, enough to make any young wizard coming from the warm fireplace shiver.
Walking down, the air became heavy, mixed with the scents of soil, plants, and cauldrons.
Professor Sineipu was still staring ahead, the leaping flames illuminating the content on the parchment in his hand—this was exactly the Fusion Enlightenment Method Sien had written, the final piece of the Potion Will Domain.
There was an imperceptible "1" in the corner of this parchment, and even Sineipu would not have thought that the breakthrough would come so quickly.
Sure enough, only those wizards who couldn't even manage to get started would come up with other ways.
In the dungeon, Professor Sineipu's upturned lips were hard to tell if they were mocking or appreciative.
Then the door to the dungeon was pushed open, and Sineipu watched coldly as Sien skillfully began to brew a potion.
His cauldron was steaming; rose petals and vanilla pods were added one by one... then his movements were fluid as he performed the improvement ritual step by step.
Sien carefully felt the reason for the effect of this magical ritual.
—They should be a form of suggestion, a tool to strengthen a wizard's belief.
Before long, the cauldron began to bubble, and Sien stirred it according to rigorous steps, making Professor Sineipu, who was watching from the side, frown.
The gooey liquid turned golden during the final stir, and the panel's prompt sounded right on cue.
【You have brewed a pot of Draught of Peace at the beginner level, proficiency +3】
Sien opened the panel:
【Title: Potion Novice】
【Greatly increases perception of potions, slightly improves potion talent】
【Advanced: Three skilled-level potions and three beginner-level potions can unlock the skilled-level title in the Potion domain】
【Boil-Cure Potion: Skilled Level (10/3000)】
【Swelling Solution: Skilled Level (20/3000)】
【Swelling Potion: Skilled Level (20/3000)】
【Draught of Peace: Apprentice Level (110/300)】
As long as the Draught of Peace reached the beginner level, Sien could unlock a new potion title, and at the same time, the mysterious alchemy would also open up to him.
Once alchemy was on the panel, whether it was mysterious or not would no longer be up to it.
Sien slowly drank a bottle of potion, as the energy consumed by the improvement ritual was rapidly recovering.
"Do you think—Sean Green, when the Draught of Peace is boiling, how many times should it be stirred to the left?"
"Two times, Professor."
Sien recalled.
