Back in the dormitory, Heath drank the [spiritual water] and meditated.
Half an hour later, he stopped meditating and eagerly opened the system to check his current mental power:
"Psychic power: 0.8."
Although he was mentally prepared early in the morning, when he saw the specific value of mental power, Heath still couldn't help but admired: "Tsk tsk, it actually increased by 0.2! This is too outrageous, no wonder so many apprentices regard it as such.
It’s like a treasure!”
0.2 mental power, you must know that if you practice normally, it will take at least a month of hard meditation...
"It would be nice if I could drink a few more bottles..."
It is a little regrettable that the side effects of spiritual water are also very obvious, so each apprentice can only take it once in his life. If he takes it again, it will have no effect and will cause harm.
Although many magic potions have unusual and extraordinary effects, they also have strong side effects. Because of this, magic potions can only be used as helpers in wizards' cultivation, but not as the main way for wizards to improve their strength.
"There is no shortcut on the path of a wizard. No matter what kind of external object, there will be side effects, and the greater the assistance, the greater the side effects. The only thing trustworthy on this difficult road is your own efforts."
This is what the wizard taught them in the first lesson when they first entered the tower.
Pulling back his thoughts of running away, Heath stood up and went to the table, ready to officially start his first potion preparation.
On the table, there are crucibles, beakers, containers and other utensils, which he rented from the college.
Next to it, there are walking mushrooms, frog legs, lizard tails, warm flowers and other materials, which he collected from the forests surrounding the college.
After moving the crucible and other equipment and materials to the open space, Heath injected magic power into the burning stone under the crucible. He heard a 'bang' sound and a ball of flame burned under the crucible.
"Crash!"
Pour in the water prepared in advance, and after the water boils, Heath then puts the ingredients into it one by one.
The flames burned by the burning stone are green, and they are reflected in the boiling water. From time to time, some frog legs, lizard tails, animal eyeballs, etc. are rolled up... It really looks like it has a certain smell no matter how you look at it.
Weird.
"It's like doing some evil ritual..."
While thinking wildly, Heath put the last ingredient into the crucible, then picked up the apprentice's staff and put it into the boiling water with one hand, picked up a potion book with the other hand, stirred the boiling water, and chanted the spells in the book.
Accompanied by this strange song-like incantation, the boiling water in the black pot suddenly began to glow with a faint light, and the various substances put into the black pot were decomposing and merging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But at this moment——
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a muffled sound inside the black pot, as if something exploded, and then there was another 'bang' sound, and a cloud of black smoke rose up from the black pot, and the whole black pot shook.
"Cough! Cough!"
Two coughs sounded, and the disgraced Heath hurriedly dispersed the black mist in the air and looked inside the black pot. The inside of the black pot was already a mess, with various materials mixed together to form some kind of gruel-like substance, with a little bit of magic potion.
Can't even see it.
Obviously, it failed.
"What the hell!"
Heath frowned. The first time he prepared the potion and it ended in failure, it must be said that it was really a very demotivating thing.
However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and began to sum up his experience.
"What's the problem? The slight explosion should be due to the maternal fetal grass. This is the only substance with explosive factors here. Is the measurement wrong?"
After some analysis, Heath quickly started his second attempt.
However, this preparation still did not bring a good ending. Not long after the preparation started, several ingredients in the pot began to eat each other. After inspection, it was found that one of the walking mushrooms had insufficient ingredients...
Then came the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round...
Although Heath had mastered the relevant knowledge of alchemy before this, learning it was one thing and practicing it was another thing entirely.
After starting to prepare the potion, Heath quickly realized that it was not easy to prepare the potion. Every time he prepared the potion, he would always encounter various problems, such as incorrect measurement, insufficient ingredients, wrong order of material placement, and even premature chanting of the spell, etc., etc.
After several rounds, they all ended in failure.
Preparing potions has never been an easy task. If you look at the fact that Potions has been the hardest hit area for failing exams over the years, you will know that this subject requires a lot of experience to make progress, and it will always be inevitable when accumulating experience.
Many failures and blows.
Many apprentices always devote themselves to potions with full confidence and enthusiasm, but soon after starting to practice, they all become disgraced and cry for their parents.
"Damn it, I'm going to have to find some masters in potions to try it again!" After failing several times in a row, Heath was also a little irritable.
An ordinary apprentice would have given up on such a series of failures early on, but Heath is a time traveler with more than 20 years of life experience. His struggles in society in his previous life have long sharpened his mental toughness.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the day passes in the blink of an eye.
God rewards hard work, and hard work always pays off. Finally, after experiencing countless failures...
"Phew!~Finally succeeded!"
With a long sigh of relief, Heath raised the potion bottle in his hand high and placed it on top of the bright yellow liquid in the bottle without blinking. Under the moonlight, these liquids flickered.
, like flowing gold.
Hatching potion!
The magic potion that can help egg-laying creatures hatch out of the mother's womb is one of the important magic potions used by wizards to hatch their familiars!
"Try how it works!"
He took out the spider eggs that Nasha had given him before and put them on a wooden plate that had been prepared in advance. Heath then took out a dagger and made a hole on the back of his hand, took out some blood and dripped it on the spider eggs.
The monsters hatched using your own blood as an inducement will be more friendly.
Immediately, Heath took out the [Hatching Potion] he had just prepared and poured it all onto the spider eggs in front of him.
"Buzz!"
The spider egg that originally stood motionless and looked like a dead thing suddenly trembled slightly, and a symbol lit up inexplicably on the dark egg shell, and the entire egg shell seemed to become transparent.
And through the transparent egg shell, you can vaguely see that the egg fluid that was originally a pool of liquid inside seems to be starting to flow...
"Boom! Boom!"
Is it the heartbeat?
After staring at the egg shell for a long time, Heath felt that he was almost going neurotic. How could a spider egg that was so big and still liquid be able to hear a heartbeat?
"Yawn!~ Let's get some sleep first before talking!"
Heath shook his head and calmed down his excitement and expectation. The hatching of spider eggs did not happen overnight. There was no point in continuing to stare here. It was better to go to bed early. There were still many things to do tomorrow.
It’s not good to delay your cultivation if you don’t have enough energy.
After practicing potions for a day, Heath's mental strength was severely exhausted long ago, and he fell into a deep sleep within a few seconds of falling on the bed.
The noisy room quickly returned to quiet as he fell asleep, but not long after the silence lasted, suddenly...
"Dong dong...dong dong..."
The black spider eggs trembled gently and made some kind of deep sound, which seemed to be...
heartbeat?
…
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Heath was still sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a slight itching between his breaths. He thought it was caused by the sun shining through the window on his face, so he ignored it.
However, the itching did not slow down as time went by, but became more intense until——
"Ah sneeze!!"
With a muffled sound, Heath suddenly sat up from the bed, and just as he stood up, he vaguely saw something that seemed to fly out of the bed.
After rubbing his nose, he quickly looked over there, and soon found the flying thing.
That's... a spider?
Heath saw a small spider on the ground. It was about the size of a thumb and was white in color. It seemed to be dizzy because it had just fallen off the bed. It was lying on the ground and trying to stand up unsteadily.
.
"Wait...wait, what is this? Spider?!"
Suddenly, Heath seemed to have thought of something. He quickly raised his head and looked towards the table, and upon seeing this, his eyes suddenly widened.
However, he saw that the wooden plate on the table was now empty. The spider eggs inside had long since disappeared, leaving only some broken egg pieces mixed with some sticky cytosol covering the bottom of the plate.
"No! Have the spider eggs hatched?"
Heath was shocked.
But it's not a surprise, it's a surprise.
You know, it generally takes at least a week for spider eggs to hatch, but it only took one night for them to hatch. This is really incredible.
Heath quickly got up and walked out of bed and squatted in front of the little white spider on the ground.
"Is this hatched?"
At this moment, the little spider had regained its footing on the ground and was trying hard to jump up in the direction of Heath, looking like it was eager to get back to Heath.
After seeing Heath stretched out a finger downward, the little spider immediately jumped on the finger. Heath then dragged it and put it on the palm of his hand. The little spider that came to Heath's palm seemed to have found its home.
After settling down, he happily rubbed Heath's palm with his furry shell, looking very affectionate.
Heath lifted the little spider in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. Under this observation, Heath's expression couldn't help but become very strange.
