Chapter 33 Wolf Teaching and Visiting
As time went by, Yang Tian got more and more used to the life in the Forley Manor. His grandparents only had one word for him: spoil! The family collection of books, precious medicinal materials, rare alchemy tools, etc., as long as Yang Tian liked them, they would also have one word: give them to him!
But Yang Tian is still the same Yang Tian, his life is still regular and fulfilling, absorbing knowledge from all sides like a sponge. This makes the whole family more satisfied and expectant of him.
The only one who was not satisfied was probably his playmate Cook, because Brother Yang Tian spent too little time playing with him! He also listened to his mother and followed Yang Tian to learn something, but the problem was... he really didn't understand!
So little Cook could only continue his life as a naughty boy. Fortunately, Yang Tian also thought about him and would take an hour every night to accompany Cook and tell him some simple magic knowledge. The relationship between the two little guys was improving day by day...
In the past two days, Yang Tian finally started to prepare potions independently. Unlike in the past when he helped his father, this time he completed it completely independently under the guidance of his elders.
Yang Tian originally had absolute confidence in himself, but the result was far beyond his expectations, and it could even be said to be a despair that made him laugh and cry.
Because the one who taught him was his grandmother, Rosalind Foley, the famous healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. She praised Yang Tian's talent and was also amazed at Yang Wen's Chinese and Western fusion of pharmaceutical methods, but she scoffed at Yang Wen's method of teaching Yang Tian.
Grandma decided to teach in person and asked Yang Wen to watch carefully.
Thus, Yang Tian's tragic journey began! Long before preparing the potion, Rosalind had to dress her grandson in thick equipment that looked like the space suit he had seen in his previous life.
Yang Tian immediately shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.
But grandma said very seriously: "Potionology is a precise science and a strict process! This is the experience summarized by countless predecessors throughout their lives. I prefer to treat every potion preparation as an adventure. We must be bold and careful, concentrate, and have clear thinking."
"That is to say, if you are not familiar with all the details of the potion you are going to prepare, then necessary protection is a must."
After saying that, he put the equipment on Yang Tian without any further ado.
Not only that, she even pulled out her magic wand, ready to act at any time!
This made Yang Tian feel very bad, as if he was about to face death in the next moment.
"Then let's see what potion we should prepare for the first lesson." He took out a book called "Magic Pharmacy and Potions". "Great, it turns out to be a scabies potion. A very good choice."
"This is a special medicine for treating pustules, measles, furuncles and other symptoms of lymphadenopathy. Scabies is caused by scabies mites parasitizing the epidermis of human skin..." Rosalind talked about the definition, clinical characteristics, transmission routes and other knowledge points of scabies. Then she displayed the raw materials needed to prepare scabies potion one by one, and explained in detail the relevant knowledge, uses and precautions of the raw materials.
For example, slugs are actually a kind of creature that is very harmful to farmland. They have a complex diet and a large appetite, often eating leaves and fruits in farmland. However, dealing with them is not complicated. You only need to sprinkle edible salt or white sugar on the slugs, and they will die of dehydration in a few minutes.
Or maybe, to take out the teeth of a venomous snake, you don’t extract the teeth directly from the venomous snake, but take the teeth and immerse them in the venom…
Yang Tian listened to this kind of common sense with great interest. After all, this kind of knowledge can't be found in books.
The explanation part was originally enjoyable, but the fun started when it came to the cooking part.
When Yang Tian was carefully grinding six venomous snake fangs, Rosalind would whisper, "Dear, why six instead of seven? Would seven be more effective?"
“Will this be extremely toxic? I’m afraid the human body won’t be able to withstand it?” Yang Tian instinctively felt something was wrong and asked.
"If we add Viola yedoensis, will it have a better effect in neutralizing the snake venom?" Rosalind helped Yang Tian think of a solution. The two of them improved the brewing formula and process in a conversation...
So as expected, the first time Yang Tian prepared the potion... a violent explosion occurred!
Rosalind, who was well prepared, instantly built a protective barrier to block the power of the explosion, then raised her hands and cheered, celebrating the first explosion in her grandson's Potions Apprenticeship.
Grandma swore that a potion journey without explosions is an incomplete potion journey!
Yang Wen's mouth twitched, while Yang Tian's heart was pounding, with a wry smile on his face. He finally understood where Sophie's wolf-like cultural education methods came from. Isn't this an ancestral skill? Genetics is indeed the most powerful subject in the world, and no rebuttal will be accepted!
So in the following days, Yang Tian was fighting a desperate battle with the scabies medicine!
Among them, there were 173 explosions, 121 poisons with completely opposite effects were produced, 372 useless potions, 34 potions that met the standards, 7 perfect potions, 1 potion that was confirmed to greatly shorten the treatment time, and 1 potion that was easy to store for a long time...
Rosalind's prankish way of teaching potions gave Yang Tian a clearer understanding of the materials used. For example, which part of the material played what role, how the change of temperature at a certain moment would cause a chain change in the scabies potion, and so on. There were too many to list.
With the help of her grandmother, Yang Tian seemed to have opened a brand new door in potion science...
On this day, when Yang Tian and his grandmother were still swimming in the ocean of scabies potion, the manor welcomed several distinguished guests. They were Hyman Greengrass, who had always maintained a close relationship with the Foley family, and his two daughters, Daphne Greengrass and Astoria Greengrass.
The reason for visiting at this time was because the pure-blood families were rumored that the Fry family was currently opening up channels for selling magic potions. Heyman, who had always been very interested in the magic potion business but had no stable supply, could no longer sit still after hearing about this, and hurried to find Barnett to find out the situation.
The two families were so familiar with each other that the two sisters had just greeted old man Barnett and had no time to exchange a few words of family conversation before Heyman couldn't wait to ask about the status of the potion business.
And at this moment, the grandmother who received the news brought Yang Tian to pay her respects.
Haiman stopped talking because of his curiosity about the young master of the Free family, whom he had never met before, and looked at Yang Tian curiously.
The handsome young man greeted Uncle Heyman politely, and then politely greeted Daphne and Astoria.
I have to say that the two little sisters look quite similar. They are both very beautiful, like a pair of porcelain dolls.
Daphne was two years older than Astoria, more aristocratic and a little more arrogant, whereas Astoria was more delicate in appearance, clean and sweet.
The biggest difference between the two sisters is Astoria's long silver-white hair that looks like the Milky Way, which matches her appearance and temperament, making her very beautiful.
Since everyone had something important to discuss, after some small talk, Grandpa decided to let Yang Tian take the two sisters to play around the manor...
