Chapter 500: Raising disciples is to fight beasts (4/4)
"The materials in the exam room can weaken psychic powers."
Master Gosei did not answer, but Master Wana spoke. She narrowed her eyes: "And the rules do not say that you cannot see other people's choices - if he can see it, then this is also part of his ability."
"Being able to see other candidates through psychic isolation materials, his observation-type psychic ability... is a bit too strong."
Of course. Master Gosei said in his heart. Back then, this kid could even find the core of the Hive Mother. It was equivalent to being able to withstand the suppression of the second-level Hive psychic network and forcefully see through its weak point - mere psychic isolation.
What is the material?
But the strange thing is that based on Master Gosei's understanding of Ian, he feels that the other person is not someone who watches what others do and follows what he does.
As expected, Master Alexei, who initially said he was cheating, also frowned. He shook his head and said, "No - he had prepared the material classification from the beginning, and was obviously preparing to make a full-scale amplification potion... Then he looked at other people.
What are you doing? Although there is no standard answer for this assessment, the optimal solution to the general formula is it."
None of the three alchemist masters quite understood what Ian was doing, but after thinking for a while, Ian started to take action.
"This is not the starting point for a comprehensive amplification potion."
Master Goser frowned. He patted Isengard and motioned for him to say, "Have you seen any clues?"
"I……"
Isengard was confused. Although he was very familiar with Ian, he had not yet started cooperating with the boy on the alchemy project. How did he know what skills Ian had?
But Ethan is also a genuine elite alchemist after all. He carefully observed Ian's every move in the light curtain, and immediately discovered: "Ian is... preparing to make an anti-damage potion? He is dealing with demon hunting insect shells.
, and use 'crystallization' to purify the material structure, perform a primary precipitation to facilitate subsequent processing, and use it as the main material."
After saying this, he blinked, somewhat puzzled by Ian's choice.
Anti-damage medicine is also a valuable medicine among elite medicines. As the name suggests, it can make the user's body, from the inside out, including blood vessels, lymphatics and other structures, have strong resistance to mechanical damage.
To put it simply, it can be regarded as comprehensive damage reduction - there have been cases of soldiers who took anti-damage agents and survived a frontal covering bombardment by the enemy, whether it was shock waves, flames, cutting or bludgeoning, or even suffocation and
High fever and smoldering fire did not kill him.
Although this is an extremely lucky exception, it is enough to illustrate the power of anti-damage potions.
It's just that... the overall amplification potion also has the effect of some anti-damage potions. Although it is not strong, the overall amplification potion can also enhance physical fitness, which is undoubtedly more useful and valuable.
"Do you want to make a perfect quality anti-damage potion? This is also an idea, the value is quite high, and under certain circumstances, the effect may be more appropriate than the full-scale increase with shortcomings."
Master Wana is also observing. This old woman has the best eyesight. She can see that Ian's handling of all materials is extremely skillful. He does not look like a fourteen-year-old alchemy newcomer at all... The opponent has at least five
More than three years of experience is really terrifying. Doesn't this mean that the other person has already started alchemy before he was ten years old?
While others are still learning common language and basic mathematics, this guy is already familiar with alchemy classics?
Thinking of this, Master Wana looked at Gosei with a slightly envious expression - this hunchbacked old man really wasn't bragging, he had really found a genius.
But it was at this time that Ian made a choice that surprised everyone.
"Why did he start making it?!"
The materials have not been completely analyzed and the matrix has not been prepared. Why would Ian start now?
The other twenty candidates are all still in the preliminary preparation stage of alchemy potions - this is also the purpose of the one hour.
Otherwise, if an alchemist spends seven or eight hours concentrating on tossing out a bottle of 'Ultimate Ferocity Potion', wouldn't it be four or five times more powerful than a full-scale amplification potion? The same materials only require time, technique, and attention.
It's just that the strength requirements are relatively high.
Of course, the side effects of extreme ferocity are also very scary, but the increase in combat effectiveness it brings is also completely terrifying.
That is the Little Superman potion that allows an ordinary person to directly fight against several monsters.
The light in Master Alexei's eyes became brighter. He carefully observed Ian's actions, then stretched out his hand and patted Carancil: "Tell me the secret."
——No, it’s all about comparison?
The black-haired young alchemist showed a strange expression, but he had indeed been prepared for it, so he said seriously: "Well... according to my observation, Ian's choice should not be simply 'high value' but
'Value for money'…”
"He chose to make multiple bottles of mid-to-high-quality anti-damage potions, and the value brought by quantity was more stable than one bottle of comprehensive increase potions. This is indeed an idea, but it takes a lot of time, so he chose to wait for the materials to be slow
Precipitate the matrix and use the processed matrix to make it."
This is indeed an idea, and everyone present nodded slightly.
But Carancil changed the subject and began to criticize mercilessly: "But doing so is essentially a failure to be safe. Even a defective full-amplification potion that lacks healing ingredients requires high or even perfect quality.
Only anti-damage potions can be compared, and generally, at least four bottles of medium- to high-quality potions are needed to compare."
"Ian chose to make multiple bottles of ordinary potions. Essentially, he lost confidence in operational accuracy. He did not want to gamble on whether he could make perfect potions and circumvent his weakness in potion making experience - after all, with his
Judging from the remoteness of his hometown, I'm afraid he has never made the perfect potion in the past."
"It's certainly not the wrong choice, but it's ultimately mediocre."
Having said this, Carancil said quite proudly: "Judging from the completion of the comprehensive amplification potion I made, Ian would need at least five bottles to be able to compare with me. But in terms of performance, he is definitely lower.
"
His comments are harsh, but they are actually what most people think.
Ian's choice to make multiple bottles of ordinary potions is essentially turning the pursuit of excellence in alchemy into a shortcut to win with more.
Is this wrong? Yes, multiple bottles of potion are worth more than one... But what about technology? What about knowledge? What about techniques?
Also, what about the tireless pursuit of the peak of alchemy?
All this cannot be seen, and it has changed from the realm of the alchemist to the realm of the alchemist.
This is why Carancil feels that Ian's skills cannot be put on the stage.
