Chapter 175: Chapter 175

Air element was a high-level element composed of wind elements, roughly three wind element particles could form one air element particle.

Air elemental magical flame had a temperature of only 36.5 degrees Celsius and was colorless and transparent, with almost no polarity. It was even gentler than wood elemental magical flame and lacked the ability to extract magical structure components from materials.

However, air elemental magical flame possessed the special functions of "guiding magical structure component fusion" and "not affecting any magical structure components."

Therefore, in the process of brewing Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion, mastering the use of air elemental magical flame was the most important point.

Locke added the two main materials into the cauldron, then the magical flame beneath the cauldron automatically transformed into colorless and transparent air elemental magical flame.

Under the effect of his magical flame, these two materials rapidly fused together.

Five minutes later, Locke changed the magical flame to earth elemental magical flame, performing the final step on the semi-finished potion to minimize its toxicity as much as possible.

Otherwise, the accumulated toxicity from so many magical materials would have too great an impact on the wizard consuming it, turning the potion into a poison.

Finally, Locke transformed the magical flame into 100-degree Celsius water elemental magical flame for the final step of medicinal property convergence. This was a small technique Witch Sophia had taught him.

When different potion master assistants used the same formula and same process to brew the same potion but achieved different effects, the reason lay in these small details and differences in mana precision and stability.

Next, Locke followed the previous steps and used Perseus Eye to brew another bottle of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion.

Locke looked at the two bottles of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion he had placed on the workbench, along with one bottle of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion he had bought from the market, and fell into contemplation. "Next comes testing with these three bottles of Bear Spirit Potion."

"I hope the Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potions brewed with my two types of Jade Iris Lichen will be better than the original version."

"Let me first use the mixed blood from first-class wizard apprentice patients I obtained at the treatment center for a simple version test."

A complete version test would require too many resources and time.

He would need to hire a large group of people, organize at least four control groups for double-blind experiments, one group taking placebo (ordinary water), three groups taking different versions of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion, lasting from one week to three months, to observe these people's final results after consumption.

Moreover, he would need to conduct long-term consumption result observations afterward, which would involve continuous tracking and observation for six months to two years.

Of course, these were all mid-to-late stage matters. Currently, he had just developed these two new Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potions, so he at least needed to prove in the early stage that these two improved potions indeed had effects.

If they couldn't pass testing from the beginning, there would be no point in continuing later. Thıs content belongs to novel★fire.net

Locke used a dropper to extract one drop each of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion, then dropped the three types of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potions into three vessels containing the same specification of mixed curse blood.

Working at Healing Hand Treatment Center didn't offer many other benefits, but there was plenty of blood from curse victims.

This blood had been collected just yesterday and specially refrigerated using alchemical items, so the various components in the blood hadn't become inactive.

If purchasing this blood on the market, price wouldn't be an issue, but it would be very difficult to buy.

Because demand wasn't very high and was unstable, there wasn't a stable industry for selling blood from cursed bodies at Chimera Trading Market.

Locke immediately put on his focus technique monocle for careful observation. The mixed blood in the three vessels underwent significant changes.

Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion only worked on living beings because its principle of resisting curse magic was to temporarily strengthen a person's surface magical resistance, enhancing their own ability to resist curse magic to achieve curse removal.

The mixed blood in the first vessel that received ordinary Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion, after brief clarification, quickly showed blood turning black again.

This indicated that ordinary Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion was only temporarily effective.

Such a small dosage couldn't resist curse magic energy carefully designed by Blood Curse Court's curse technique research institute for long periods.

The second vessel, containing mixed blood that received Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion made with Perseus Eye Lichen as material, showed violent boiling. Locke touched the vessel and found even the vessel itself was hot.

The mixed blood in the vessel eventually turned into a colorless liquid resembling ordinary water.

Locke realized, "The medicinal properties are too intense, killing both curses and normal human components together. This should be the result of purifying energy that appears during magical counterattacks."

"Such a potion is no longer an antidote but a severe poison."

"Moreover, it's a severe poison specifically targeting vampires and curse-modified creatures."

Locke tapped the table with his finger. "Wait, this potion can't be called a failure. Rather, I've changed its purpose. In battle, it's certainly impossible to force vampires to actively consume this potion, so its help in combat is limited."

"If this potion were introduced into water sources in Blood Curse Court territory..."

"This way, all crops and plants produced from local soil would naturally carry this lethality against cursed creatures... Of course, the academy already has Viridian Potions. Using genuine Viridian Potions would definitely be more effective than my potion. But this is also a good research direction that might produce an A-level article."

Locke pondered thoughtfully while looking at the third vessel. The third vessel now showed normal blood color, though there were still some black traces in the blood.

This indicated that curse energy had been temporarily suppressed.

Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion brewed with Jade Iris Lichen juice had indeed improved its efficacy several times. It could help blood in the human body increase magical resistance to counter curse energy, using this method to help people escape curses.

Since this was broad-spectrum curse magical resistance, presumably this new type of Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion would have a very wide range of applications.

Locke looked at this scene with satisfaction and nodded.

Next, he only needed to use patients afflicted with magical plant curses at Healing Hand Treatment Center as control groups for experiments to accumulate data, then apply to academy leadership for permission to produce this potion.

"Although I didn't change the specific formula or brewing steps at all, I changed the magical plant varieties within, so it counts as a major formula revision. So I can call it a new name."

Locke had never thought it was possible to change a potion's formula this way, not by altering materials but by using a breeder's advantage to directly optimize materials within a potion formula.

This was an advantage of being both a breeder and potion master.

Locke thought, "Let's call it... Bear Spirit Jade Bile Potion."

Locke left the laboratory and saw it was already morning outside. "I'll brew some more potions, then write several articles and take them all to the library for publication."

"Make a trip to Chimera Trading Market to purchase archaeology courses, then go to Healing Hand Treatment Center this afternoon to officially treat magical plant curses!"
