Chapter 55: Successful Brewing

Sometimes, potion brewing looks so Muggle-like,

that it makes many people believe that as long as one operates according to the steps, even a Muggle can brew potions.

But the fact is the opposite.

Even if Muggles have all the ingredients and follow the instructions strictly, they still cannot make potions,

because brewing potions always requires some magic to guide it, and sometimes it also requires the use of a wand.

For Cure for Boils, its magical part appears at the end.

At this time, the wizard needs to make a special gesture and recite a string of special incantations.

The general meaning is:

"Enable this potion to have the ability to treat boils."

As for the previous steps, Sean is currently performing them.

In the dungeon.

Thin light cast spots of light above the stone wall, the cauldron simmering over a low fire emitted white smoke and a burst of fragrance.

The empty underground room only had the sound of bubbling, and the rustling sound of Sean flipping through "Magical Drafts and Potions."

Regarding the points of attention for potion brewing, Professor Professor Professor Sineipu made it very clear in the first class.

That is precision and strictness.

Sean flipped "Magical Drafts and Potions" to the required part.

Although he had already memorized it, he still kept it aside for emergencies.

"Step one, weigh the materials, brew the horned slugs..."

Taking advantage of the fact that the cauldron hadn't reached the specified preheating time, Sean quickly measured four sets of materials to a precise standard,

and then without stopping, brewed the horned slugs.

During the brewing process, he followed the steps to use the tools on the table to crush the venomous snake fangs and chop the dried nettles that had been soaked in advance.

At this time, the skills he learned in the greenhouse played a role.

He was almost effortlessly selecting and processing the materials to a qualified standard, and even had plenty of time left over.

In his spare time, Sean didn't stop either; he quickly recorded the weight and state of the materials at this time.

He didn't even let go of the approximate state of the flame.

Although the cauldron in the dungeon was automatically lit, he would have to learn to control the flame with his wand sooner or later, right?

Sean has always been accustomed to preparing in advance.

"Step two, take out the slugs, add dried nettles, venomous snake fangs..."

With enough time, Sean read "Magical Drafts and Potions" again to ensure he wouldn't forget any details due to nervousness.

This brown-black book with an image of a cauldron and steam on the cover was placed aside like this,

revealing the content of the first page: 【Basic brewing method, this book is enough】

"Step three, stir twice to the left, then three times to the right; the force must be moderate..."

Sean used the force that crushed the bubbles, stirring the brewing potion in a fixed posture.

In fact, he was a bit nervous.

Professor Professor Professor Sineipu could appear at any time, and his practice might not necessarily succeed.

People are always a bit afraid of the unknown, and Sean is no exception.

So he was extra serious and careful.

"Almost there, add the slugs, then take the cauldron off and add porcupine quills."

At this time, the potion brewing had clearly reached the most critical moment. The slugs melted as soon as they were added to the cauldron, and the potion presented a light blue appearance.

Sean counted silently in his heart:

"Twenty-five, twenty-four, twenty-three..."

In this gap, Sean didn't just stand there; he recorded the details of the subsequent steps in great detail, including time, material state, heat, etc.

Next was the most exciting time.

Sean stirred the cauldron, waved his arm, and chanted the incantation.

And after the cauldron bubbled for a while,

it turned into...

a blue-green jelly-like liquid.

Huh?

Why is it blue-green? ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
