Chapter 97 College Daily
Inside the shop, he could smell the strong aroma of medicinal herbs as soon as he walked in. Various medicinal herbs were displayed in the shop, as well as equipment for making medicines.
"What do you need?" The shop owner was a middle-aged, wealthy man wearing an apprentice's robe. He was lazily lying on a recliner and did not stand up when he saw someone come in.
"Would you like some stamina potion?" Ivan withdrew his gaze from the surroundings.
"Yes, of course." The shop owner jumped up from the recliner with a smile on his face. "How many do you have? As long as the quality is qualified, I can accept all of them. I'll state that I want to inspect the goods first."
Ivan didn't waste any words and directly handed over a stamina potion.
The shopkeeper took it and examined it carefully. He even unscrewed the lid and put it to his nose to sniff. He looked up and said, "Orik, you can call me Orik. Did you make these potions?"
"Yes."
"The potion is of high quality. I can offer you 4 magic stones for each potion. What do you think?"
Ivan took out the remaining stamina potions, a total of 15, and all the stock was here.
Orrick showed the caution and shrewdness of a businessman. He carefully checked the potions one by one and nodded in approval. "All good. A total of 60 low-grade magic stones. Do you need anything? The medicinal materials here are all of top quality. I guarantee with the name of Orrick that there will be no fraud."
Ivan asked, "Is there a basic prescription?"
The light in Orrick's eyes became brighter. "Of course, there are. Hemostasis, detoxification, deworming, nutrition. Uh, you can refine physical strength potions. Aren't these a bit low-grade?"
"What about the price?"
"These basic prescriptions are not expensive. They only cost 2 magic stones per piece. The raw materials for refining cost 1 magic stone. One piece of raw materials can be used to refine 10 potions. The cost of recycling the finished product is 2 magic stones per potion. What do you think?"
When it comes to prescriptions and the prices of medicinal materials, Orrick is extremely familiar with them.
Facing his expectant gaze, Ivan made a decision in his heart: "I want the first three prescriptions. Give me 2 magic stones for each raw material, and a new set of alchemy equipment. I have a list here. Please prepare the materials for me according to the list."
"No problem." Orrick quickly grabbed the list, his eyes lit up as he looked at it. This was a big client who came to his door. "I have all the materials on the list. The alchemy equipment is a gift from me. What do you call it?"
"Ivan."
"Mr. Ivan, let me tell you, I have the most complete range of medicinal herbs on the entire street."
Facing a big customer, Orick packed the herbs while making sure that the customer did not feel left out, and he talked about all kinds of trivia and interesting things about the academy.
In terms of raw materials, a basic potion costs 1 magic stone, a stamina potion costs 1.5 magic stones, and a ginger water costs 2 magic stones. The prices are generally not high.
Ivan distractedly calculated that if all the raw materials were made into potions, the profit from basic potions would be about 20 times after deducting the cost, and the profit from physical potions would be about 26 times. The selling price of Jiangnai Water is 8 magic stones, which can be increased by 40 times. The speed at which pharmacists earn magic stones is terrifying.
Orrick lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, there are quite a few apprentices in the pharmacy group who are really not up to the task. Their potion refining yield is a mess, and in the end they can only secretly buy potions from me, go back and pretend that they made them themselves, and hand them in to the academy to earn credits. With these people around, we won't have to worry about selling our potions."
"I see."
Ivan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he always felt something was wrong before. It turned out that he had ignored the yield rate of medicine refining.
He has come all the way here by himself, and with the powerful assistance of the Light of Small Wisdom and the Light of Wisdom, he has an extraordinary understanding and proficiency in alchemy and medicinal materials, and his alchemy yield rate is far beyond that of ordinary people.
If the yield rate of medicine refining is too low, every time you refine the medicine will be like gambling, and you may lose all your money. It is more cost-effective to buy the medicine directly.
However, the potion has some of the aura of the alchemist. Such an operation cannot be hidden from the academy, right?
"Mr. Ivan, please come to me next time if you need anything." A moment later, Orik walked him out of the store with a smile on his face.
When he left the shop, Ivan still had 32 low-grade magic stones and a pile of boxes full of raw materials.
The prices of these raw materials are not high. The high prices are actually the things related to the mental potion. He asked about the price of Orik's magic stone water. The market price is 50 magic stones per bottle, and the transaction price is often around 60 magic stones.
Just like Gina said, both mental potions and raw materials are out of stock all year round.
Gina and Orrick both revealed one thing, that compared to ordinary potions, mental potions are recognized as the most difficult type of potion to refine, without a doubt.
After returning from the trading area, Ivan simply converted the study into an alchemy room and placed the purchased items inside.
After lunch, Ivan hurried to a classroom in the teaching area. Today he had an important public class - Basics of Pharmacy.
The courses offered by the college are divided into free and paid ones. The free ones are public courses. The lecturers are generally third-class apprentices, and the content is simple basic knowledge.
"Ivan, you're here." Conley noticed him and greeted him from a distance.
"It's a free class, it would be a shame not to take it." Ivan said.
"Haha, I thought so too. Maybe I can learn some useful skills." Conley laughed. He was from the pharmacy group, and his instructor had already taught him more comprehensive basic pharmacy knowledge.
There were many people who shared the same idea as them, and the two of them each found a seat.
After the class, Ivan felt that it was worthy of being a free course. There was a lot of long-winded talk, but in the end there were only a few minutes of useful content, and it was relatively superficial knowledge.
Not all free courses are like this. Courses like language courses, basic anatomy, application of mental power, application of energy particles, basic energy shaping courses, and the study of everything are explained in more detail, but most of them are already mastered by Ivan.
After the class, Conley suddenly suggested with great interest: "How about a competition to see who becomes a qualified alchemist first?"
Are you serious?
Ivan glanced at him, but still couldn't do anything to bully him: "Forget it, I have to spend more time on enchantment."
After hearing what he said, Conley could only give up with regret.
Ivan spoke beautifully, and then he started to teach the paid basic alchemy class. Each class cost 2 low-grade magic stones, and a third-grade apprentice demonstrated alchemy on the spot. He only talked about practical matters, but not many people came to listen to the class because they were short of magic stones.
This expense is nothing to him.
His main purpose was to systematically learn the knowledge of alchemy so that he could transform from a self-taught person to a regular soldier.
These days, in addition to learning the basics of alchemy, he spends time refining potions every day, practicing meditation and the spell Blackbeard Crown, and is also studying runes and enchantments.
The refined potion includes Ginger Summer Water. Whenever he sees a Swift Wood Silkworm that has merged with the Spring Bud, he will use Ginger Summer Water to transfer some of the curse power to it, thus reducing the power of the demon curse in his body bit by bit.
After the Swift Wood Silkworm absorbed the subtle power of the curse, there were no adverse effects or obvious enhancements for the time being. He guessed that it might be because the amount of curse power absorbed was too little.
In this way, Ivan's life in the Mona Ant Colony Hut got on the right track and everything was developing in an orderly manner.
