Herbology class is followed by Potions class, with a half-hour break in between.
Sherlock did not wander around anywhere else, but went directly to the Potions classroom.
Potions Professor Snape, as soon as he heard the name, the image of a man, a man and a horse emerged in his mind.
Tian Linger
Firenze
Although virtual networks have shortened the distance between people, they can see each other whenever they want.
But in fact, if two people are far apart, no matter how good the relationship is, it will eventually fade away.
This theory also applies to Faerûn.
During the time after they separated from Tian Linger, the two of them often exchanged their experiences on refining medicine.
Later, when Sherlock was busy with various tasks, Tian Linger was immersed in the sea of knowledge in Candle Keep, and gradually lost contact with him.
Eh~
In the end, all the regrets turned into just a sigh. I don't know if it was for Tian Linger, for those days of collecting and refining medicine together, or for that beautiful friendship, or maybe all three.
"Mr. Sherlock, what's the matter with you?" Snape said with an indifferent expression. He never had a good impression of Gryffindor students.
Sherlock raised his head and realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the door of Professor Snape's office. He quickly said respectfully: "Professor Snape, do you know Firenze?"
"Mr. Firenze was my last Potions professor, but he left the school many years ago and disappeared."
Sherlock was overjoyed and handed over a letter of recommendation: "I was fortunate enough to be taught by Teacher Firenze for a period of time in the Supreme Forest. Before leaving, the teacher wanted me to continue studying and training with Professor Snape.
A medicine."
"It is indeed the teacher's note." After reading it, Snape's face softened a lot. He still respected his former Potions teacher: "Class is about to start now. Come to my office after school in the afternoon to find me."
Bar."
"Yes, Professor!"
Ten minutes later, Snape walked into the classroom with a gloomy face, and the originally noisy classroom immediately fell silent.
"To be honest, I don't really expect many of you to truly understand the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of potion preparation.
But my lessons can at least prevent you from drinking the water of life and death when you want to drink a bottle during battle.
So, can anyone tell me the functions of these two medicines and how to distinguish them."
Potions is no better than herbal medicine, and you cannot truly grasp the mysteries by simply reading books.
What's more, Snape's two questions were obviously out of scope, so not a single person in the classroom raised their hands.
"Sherlock, answer my question." Snape called.
Sherlock knew that the other party was probably testing him, so he talked eloquently: "The concentration potion can reduce the chance of backlash and interruption when casting spells. The water of life and death is helpful for people to sleep, and diluting it in water is good for people."
Most plants have growth-promoting effects.
Both appear to be light green clear liquids, but the water of life and death has a faint grassy fragrance."
"What is the difference between Perilla Terrier and Green Su Terrier?" Snape continued to ask.
"Perilla stems and green perilla stems are the same plant, but they will show different growth cycles and colors depending on how they are cultivated.
The former is a three-year-old, with purple stems and leaves, and strong medicinal properties; the latter is an annual, with green-blue stems and leaves, with mild medicinal properties. "This is an issue that would not be encountered by a master who is proficient in herbal medicine. Sherlock has also seen Firenze.
I found out a little bit after taking notes.
"If you have materials such as rauwolfia, honeysuckle vine, spider scent, cat's claw, comfrey antler, salamander tail, rock pepper seeds, sea hoppers, and green moss tortoise shells, you can refine it.
How many kinds of magic potions with different effects can be produced?"
This question already involves the origin of the potion. Sherlock thought about it for nearly a quarter of an hour before he came up with an answer: "The combination of three medicinal materials such as sea float, spider incense, and cat's scratch should be able to refine the hidden breath."
The potion"
"Any more?"
After thinking for another ten minutes, Sherlock could only shake his head helplessly: "Sorry, Professor!"
At this time, if it were Tian Linger, with her imagination and creativity, she should be able to come up with at least three combinations.
As for Sherlock, he is really not very good at research and development, which can be seen from his dark dishes. At this time, he was able to come up with a reasonable combination and it was already a matter of urgency.
Snape's serious face showed no emotion. He stared at Sherlock for a while and then turned away.
Just when Sherlock was disappointed and thought he had failed the test, a cold voice came from the podium.
"Sherlock adds 2 points."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom was so surprised that they couldn't help but scream.
You know, no matter how good you are, Snape will never give extra points to Gryffindor students.
"Quiet!"
Snape snorted coldly, and the restlessness that had just arisen in the classroom immediately became quiet again.
Next, this Potions lesson finally got down to business.
"Sherlock has already talked about the effect of concentration potion. Its main ingredient, the bulb of bluebell, you should have met in the herbal medicine class just now. You need to use it to successfully brew a concentration potion. The preparation method is in the book
's page ten."
Everyone was about to open the book, but Snape shouted sharply: "Did I tell you to open the book now?
Watch me do it first and pay attention to my movements. I don’t want to see someone stupid enough to blow up the whole classroom later."
The process of making concentration potion is not complicated, Sherlock learned it just by reading the book once.
It's just that the refining skills Snape displayed at this time were slightly different from those recorded in the books.
For example, regarding the processing method of bellflower bulbs, the book records that the bellflower bulbs are sliced, but he directly crushes them with a knife blade to extract the juice.
"The medicinal properties of bluebell bulbs are entirely in their juice. Instead of slicing them and boiling them out, directly squeezing the juice is not only more convenient and faster, but also does not affect the final potion effect at all," Snape explained.
System prompt: Snape teaches you the art of alchemy, and your alchemy proficiency is 127!
"Therefore, we need to lower the flame temperature at this time"
System prompt: Snape teaches you the art of alchemy, and your alchemy proficiency is 65!
"The amount of rootless rattan core powder must be controlled well"
System prompt: Snape teaches you the art of alchemy, and your alchemy proficiency is 52!
Listening to Snape's teachings gave Sherlock a huge amount of proficiency, and his efficiency was even faster than when he squandered high-end medicinal materials in the Room of Requirement.
By the time all the explanations were finished, his alchemy level had already reached level 6.3.
Next, when it was everyone's turn to refine it, Sherlock followed Snape's instructions and successfully refined a pot of 89-quality concentration potion, once again winning 10 extra points.
