Chapter 5 Encounter (2)

After more than ten days, Danica's body recovered almost. Although it was still very difficult to run and jump, at least she could get rid of the wooden stick when walking. After being able to move freely, Danica picked some herbs in the nearby forest to prepare for the next preparation of the medicine. This is not a problem. This piece of herb resources are still very rich.

After working hard all day, Danica finally got all the herbs needed, some Nanxiang grass and green sun leaves, a small handful of red thorn spines, three Anlin grasses, and a few barks of Miehe wood.

Danica found a few clean white porcelain bowls, mashed the leaves of Nanxiangcao and Qingkui, and filtered them with gauze to obtain filter juice; then smashed the fruits of the red thorns and dug out the flesh from it; as for Anlinca, what needs its roots, wash the roots and cut them into pieces, then squeeze out the juice with a knife, and collect the juice. The more troublesome one is the bark of Suhemu. This medicinal material requires Linta solvent for a long time to extract, but where she is looking for Linta solvent, there is no way, so she has to come here. Danica had to chop it as much as possible and grind it into powder.

After preparing the various ingredients, Danica began to mix them. First, prepare the filter juice of Nanxiangca and Qingkui leaves in proportion, then add the flesh of the red thorn spiny fruit. Wait for a while, and wait for the color of the medicine liquid to turn a little purple-red. Add the juice from Anlin grass roots as soon as possible, stir vigorously, and add the bark powder of Suhemu while stirring.

Danica held a clean wooden stick in her right hand and stirred it very quickly, but she didn't touch the wall of the bowl. She pinched a little corn-hei wood bark powder with her left hand and slowly poured it in. The speed was even and smooth. This skillful operation was also practiced by years of preparation of medicine.

Phyllis had never learned pharmacy. She looked at this dazzling operation curiously. Seeing that Danica was finally finished, she asked curiously: "Are you making pharmacy?"

Danica washed her hands with a basin of clean water that she had prepared in advance and said, "Yes, now I am preparing a simple version of pain potion." Using pain potion to sharpen her soul is a long-term process, and it does not mean that it can be effective in a few days or even months. It requires years of accumulation. During the injury period, Danica has not taken pain potion for several days. Since her body is not in serious condition now, she should resume this daily training.

"Pharmful potion?" As a typical academic magician, Philis is not familiar with this potion. Fortunately, she has read a lot of miscellaneous studies. After searching in her memory, she realized that "it is the kind of potion that can cause physical pain and then sharpen the soul? Are you from the classical school?"

Danica nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm a classical wizard."

Phyllis sat next to Danica and said, "The magicians around me are all academics. I have never seen a classical wizard before. I heard that the magicians of the classical wizard need to endure a lot of hardship."

Danica wiped her hands with a towel and said, "The classical wizards do suffer a lot of pain in the process of learning magic, but there is nothing I can do about it. The magic inheritance I got was incomplete, and I only started learning magic three years ago when I was thirteen years old. If I want to truly become a powerful magician, the classical wizard learning is more suitable for me."

Phyllis said: "That's true. If it's an academic school, not to mention anything else. Just when you start learning magic at the age of thirteen, you have already announced that you will not have any achievements in magic for life. But the classical school is different. According to my grandfather's words, the key to whether a classical school magician can become a talent is not the hard standards such as qualifications and learning conditions, but some illusory understanding and opportunity." After a pause, she continued: "Actually, I don't really understand what the understanding and opportunity he said specifically refers to, but this is at least a possibility."

"It's enough to have this possibility. There are only 80% of the things in the world. I'm very satisfied with having a chance to succeed." Danica looked at the medicine she prepared. The color was a bit wrong. It should have been light green, but now it's purple-black? No matter what, it may be because the impurities have not been removed. The pharmacology is correct anyway.

Danica said to Phyllis, "Okay, the medicine has been prepared. Because it is only temporarily prepared and cannot be stored for a long time, I have to take it now. You also know that the main function of the pain medicine is the great pain in the morning, so I will have a special reaction in a while, don't be surprised." As she said that, she picked up the towel just now and put it next to her.

"No." Philis said with interest, "I'm really curious about how taking pain potions are." As far as she knows, the evaluation of pain potions in the history of magic is very contradictory. Some people think that this medicine greatly helps people learn and explore magic, while others think that using pain potions is completely unnecessary. It is a mistake in the history of magic development and has taken a detour. Philis is still very interested in what will happen to use pain potions.

Danica smiled and said, "Anyway, this process is not very beautiful." She took a deep breath, drank the temporarily mixed potion from the small bowl in front of her and then grabbed the towel and stuffed it into her mouth.

This roughly prepared medicine is very powerful, and soon Danica felt the pain that reached her bone marrow.

As for Phyllis next to her, she was completely scared. She knew the principle of the pain potion to sharpen her soul, but she did not expect that the process would be so terrible: Danica curled up in a ball, trembling violently, the blue veins on her neck burst out, and big drops of cold sweat flowed down her face. The expression on her face was ferocious and terrifying, and her face was pale, her lips were blue, and she was about to die of poisoning.

Phyllis sat next to Danica, at a loss and didn't know what to do. Is this the normal reaction of taking pain medicine? This is too terrible. Could something happen?

After more than ten minutes, when Phyllis could no longer sit still and was about to get the antidote, Danica's expression finally slowly calmed down, and her whole body no longer continued that terrible tremor, and her limbs were carefully stretched out. After a while of rest, Danica took off the towel in her mouth, and supported the blanket on the floor with both hands to sit up, but her hands were sore and weak, and she couldn't even do such a simple movement.

Phyllis quickly helped Danica up and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Nothing happened?"

Danica shook her head gently, trying to speak, but her lips were trembling and she didn't say a word. She could only look at Phyllis with comforting eyes and tell her not to worry.

Too careless. The side effects of this simple version of the pain potion are too great. Now Danica feels that her whole body is in a numb state. This is something she has never encountered before. If she hadn't had the habit of eating poison, she might have been poisoned to death by the medicine she prepared, which would be ridiculous.

After half an hour, the numbness of pain slowly dissipated, and Danica was finally able to speak: "It's okay, this is the price to pay to take the pain potion to sharpen the soul."

Phyllis said with lingering fear: "This is too terrible!"

Danica smiled and said, "It was not that serious. This time the potion was just temporarily prepared by me. Many steps were omitted, otherwise it would not have been like this."

"Oh, that's it." Phyllis was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can you really improve your mental power by taking this medicine?"

"Of course." Seeing Phyllis's eyes change, Danica added, "But this is a long-term process. Only years of taking pain medicines will have effect, and it is not possible to see the results once or twice."

"Oh." Phyllis said with some regret. If the pain potion can really improve her mental power, she would do whatever she could to endure such terrible pain. Her love for magic and her desire to become a great magician can support herself to endure this pain.

Seeing that Phyllis was still a little unwilling to give up, Danica said: "And using pain medicine will cause great harm to the body. Even in the best proportions, the best medicinal materials are no exception. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, I wouldn't have chosen such a difficult path."

After hearing Danica say this, Phyllis thought of a problem and said worriedly: "Can you stop using this potion for a while now? After all, your body has just recovered. Using this highly toxic thing at this time will have a great impact on the body, and it will damage the foundation of life."

Danica said dismissively: "Don't worry about this, I will regulate my body and there will be no serious trouble."

Phyllis muttered softly: "I will also regulate my body!"

Danica smiled and said, "But isn't there no need for this? In addition to the physical harm, this severe pain will also have an impact on the psychology. The classical magicians are very eccentric and perverted, and they are largely attributed to the pain potion."

Phyllis said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't your personality very good?"

Danica asked back, “Don’t you think my personality is paranoid?”

Philis was choking and didn't know how to answer. Objectively speaking, Danica's personality is indeed paranoid, although Philis appreciates this paranoid very much.

Seeing that Philis began to sulk, Danica changed the subject and asked, "My body has almost recovered. Do we have any plans next?" They had talked before. This time Philis went out for a trip. At first, she thought the outside world was very fresh, but she felt a little bored after a long time, especially when she was alone and could not meet someone for several days. It can make people feel depressed. Danica is now homeless, so the two decided to travel together.

Philis said: "I got a treasure map. Our next goal is to explore the ancient ruins." Speaking of such a fun thing, Philis' mood no longer felt depressed as before, and his whole eyes lit up.

"Treasure Map? Where did you get it?" Danica asked. It was not that she didn't believe in Phyllis, but that the treasure map was used to deceive people in the tavern? Danica was worried that Phyllis, a little girl who had just come out to travel and was not well-informed, was deceived by others.

Phyllis also heard the meaning of Danica's words and said, "Don't worry, this treasure map is definitely true. This is what I found in... the library, and there will be no problem." As for which library is so authoritative, Phyllis did not say it, but deliberately omitted the name.

"Well, then what's our course of action?" Danica asked.
