"No...no! Mr. Dean, you must have misunderstood. I did not refine this potion. I just tried to refine the basic materials. Later, I failed too many times, so I gave up..."
The inexplicable closed-door inquiry made Raymond feel a little scared.
For the profession of potion master, talent must be the result of accumulation of resources, rather than reaching the sky in one step.
After three failed attempts at awakening to the extraordinary, the recognized civilian loser suddenly turned into a potion genius. Everyone would guess that he had a secret.
Until there was no other purpose to mess with the old man, Raymond didn't dare to acknowledge the title of "potion genius".
"As for the potion you mentioned...I really don't know."
"..."
Aldrich had been immersed in reading an advanced potion book, looking like he was sitting firmly on a fishing platform.
After Raymond finished his quibbles, he raised his head and asked again: "You really didn't refine it?"
When the old man said this, his old eyes were filled with smile and wisdom.
Raymond looked firm, shook his head and said: "No!"
Aldrich turned to ask: "Tell me, what materials did you go to the laboratory to refine?"
Hearing this, Raymond's eyes twitched. This old man didn't seem to be easy to fool.
He wanted to see the old man's reaction, but his eyes met and he was immediately defeated by the wise gaze.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward,
Turning his eyes, Raymond thought about casually mentioning a few basic materials to help him, and then said: "Probably... there are 'black-striped spider webs', 'salmon eyes', 'scarlet thorn feathers',
'Powder of Iron and Stone'..."
But he didn't expect that as soon as he said these words, he would be criticized back.
"I've seen the traces on the experimental bench, and there happened to be no traces of the materials you mentioned. On the contrary, all I found were the traces of refining the materials that the [Thief] formula was first closed..."
Aldrich is the dean of the Potions School, and his knowledge has accumulated to a terrifying level.
As it happens, [Thief] knows the complete formula.
He continued: "This also means... the person who stayed in the laboratory has been refining the materials for the [Thief] potion. Since you admit that you have been in the laboratory, it was not you who refined it, so who is it?"
?”
"..."
Can you see all this?
A hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on Raymond's face, and he touched the back of his head pretending to be dumbfounded.
What does this old man want to do if he keeps asking this question?
Aldrich looked kind and kind, and could not tell that he had any other malice. He said again: "Originally, I planned to recruit another close disciple before retiring. If you really refined that potion, then your magic
Your talent in pharmacy should be pretty good..."
After hearing this, Raymond understood that it turned out that the old man was going to such great lengths to "interrogate" behind closed doors because he seemed to want to recruit an apprentice?
"In fact, almost everyone in this world can awaken to the extraordinary. Those who fail, it's just that they haven't found a magic potion sequence that is compatible with their bodies..."
Aldrich stroked his beard and talked eloquently: "I have probably heard about your situation. If you become my disciple, it means that you have at least hundreds of potion sequences to choose from and successfully advance to the extraordinary level.
The possibility is huge. Moreover, you will get countless shortcuts for free, and the vast resources of the college will open the door to you at a discount..."
As he said that, the old man pointed to the potion books in a room in the office and said, "Including the private collection resources I have accumulated over the years."
"With these resources, it is enough for anyone with even average qualifications to advance to the level of intermediate potion master..."
In the room, there were countless secret books related to potions piled up densely, countless times more than what Raymond himself had stolen from Yuk's laboratory...
There is not only basic potion knowledge here, but also intermediate advanced knowledge.
These advanced knowledge of potions are truly priceless treasures...
In the field of potions, if you just rely on reading the classics on your own, it will be considered a half-way way of becoming a monk at best, and you won't get far at all.
Just like Youke, he has been studying as a pirate for decades, but he is still stuck as a two-star potion master and cannot advance any further.
When learning potions, you must have a famous teacher lead the way, so that the knowledge you learn can be systematic, and the road to advancement will be smooth in the future.
Just like a building, it must have a solid foundation before it can reach the next level.
And the Aldrich in front of him is one of the best potion instructors in the Black Sea.
