Chapter 4: Potions and Preparations for Promotion

When he first arrived in Hogsmeade, Aiden was not attracted by the prosperous scene before him, but was planning in his mind the items he would need for promotion.

"System, make a list of materials for upgrading potions."

"Ding, main materials: complete pituitary gland of an adult seven-colored lizard dragon, 10 ml of cerebrospinal fluid from a Falsman rabbit

Auxiliary materials: 5 grams of chestnut spores, 8 grams of amaranth powder, 3 petals of pure white fairy flower, 100 ml of pure water.

"But the pituitary gland, cerebrospinal fluid, and fairy flower, these three materials do not exist in this world?"

"Ding, you can use the feature extraction function. This system has calculated the following results: Extracting the pituitary gland of the African rainbow lizard and the dragon's blood can synthesize the pituitary gland of the seven-colored lizard. Extracting the cerebrospinal fluid of the rabbit and the feathers of the evil bird can synthesize the cerebrospinal fluid of the Falsman rabbit. Extracting the properties of white mulberry and thistle can synthesize the pure white elf flower."

"I see. The lizard dragon corresponds to the Asian dragon part, the Falsman rabbit represents the half-ghost, and the elf flower is responsible for healing. Now the potion is complete." Aiden put away his thoughts and thought of a way to get Bill away.

"Bill, help me buy some candy from Honeydukes. Oh, and bring some back for Ginny and the others." Aiden took out five Galleons and handed them to Bill.

"But don't I still have to take you to buy potion ingredients?" Bill asked in confusion.

"Just go ahead, I've made a list of potion ingredients, I can do it myself. Besides, it's a rare trip to Hogsmeade, don't you want to buy some snacks to try?" Aiden tempted, as if a pair of devil horns had emerged from his head.

"Well, we'll meet at the door of Honey Duke." Bill was tempted by the audience, and his willpower was reduced by one. Aiden sent Bill away and strode towards the potion shop.

"Welcome to J. Pippin's Potion Shop." As we entered the door, the enthusiastic voice of the owner, Jerome Pippin, came from the direction of the counter.

At first glance, I saw an old man with a thin figure, wearing a slightly old but extremely neat green robe, his hair was completely white and combed into a neat ponytail, and his eyes revealed a gentle yet sharp light.

"Hello, Mr. Pippin, I want to buy materials for the potion. Here is the list. By the way, in addition to the above materials, I also need a handful, a few glass bottles with corks, some dragon's blood... and thistle." Aiden secretly activated the guidance to make himself harmless.

"Well, let me see. The list contains the ingredients for a potion to treat scabies. What are those things at the end for?"

"It's used to practice potion improvement."

"Oh, you are such a thoughtful little wizard. I'll go pack the materials for you. Please wait a moment." After that, Mr. Jerome went to organize the potion materials.

After a while.

"Okay, little guy, these are the materials you need, a total of 40 Galleons. Can you carry them?" Jerome placed the packaged materials on the counter.

"Of course, Mr. Pippin." Aiden picked up the ingredients and turned to leave the potion shop.

Duke of Bees, Bill was still immersed in the joy of sweets when Aiden came in from outside the door.

"Bill, it's time to go back. Have you bought the things?" Aiden looked at Bill's appearance and decided to wake him up.

"Okay, let's go back through the Three Broomsticks' fireplace." Bill was also carrying two large packages in his hands.

Afternoon, The Burrow.

Bill was the first to push open the gate. "Mom, we're back."

Hearing this, Madam Molly turned around and said, "Oh Bill, didn't you go to buy potion materials? Why did you use the packaging of Duke of Bee? Did you steal your brother's money?"

"No, Aunt Molly, these are the snacks I bought. I wanted to share them with Ginny, Ron and the others." Seeing that Molly's face looked strange, Aiden hurriedly explained.

"Yes, Mom." Bill quickly agreed.

"Okay, Bill, share the snacks with your brothers and sisters. I'll watch Aiden make the potion." Mrs. Molly sent Bill away.

"Okay, now it's just us. Time to practice potions." Mrs. Molly took out a crucible and placed it on the fire while speaking. At this time, Aiden released his ability to guide Molly, causing her to ignore the materials for upgrading potions.

Aiden began to make the potion, and through the audience's precise control of the body and mind, he methodically completed the potion to treat scabies.

"Oh, what a skillful technique! The quality of the potion is also good. Aiden, you are very talented in potions." Molly praised Aiden sincerely when she saw him finish the potion refining steadily.

"Thank you for the compliment Aunt Molly."

"Okay, today's practice is over. You go and play. I'll clean up the cauldron. I also have to clean the attic later. That ghoul has been making a lot of noise lately." Molly complained as she prepared to clean up the cauldron.

"Aunt Molly, leave the cleaning of the crucible to me. It's a good opportunity for practicing spells." Seeing the opportunity, Aiden volunteered without hesitation. Aiden used guidance to make himself look very reliable.

"Spell? But I remember you didn't have a wand?" Molly was a little confused.

"It's a wand I got from the Prewett family's vault. Look, it's freshly cleaned." Aiden cast a descaling spell on the table, and the grease stains on the table disappeared instantly.

"......., Oh Aiden, beautiful spellcasting. All right, I'll leave the cauldron to you." Even a witch like Molly Weasley, who came from a wizard family, had never seen a little wizard who could cast spells with just a wand. But she couldn't lose her adult demeanor, so she could only suppress her shock and go to clean the attic.

Finally, Aiden got a chance to touch the crucible alone. Aiden quickly took out the materials and silently said in his mind, "System, extract the material properties, and synthesize the corresponding materials."

"Ding, synthesis completed"

Aiden picked up the materials, used the audience's ability to calm his inner turmoil, and began to refine the mind-reading potion.

Add pure water, add chestnut spores to the mortar, grind them into extremely fine powder with a pestle, put the chestnut spore powder into the crucible, then add dragon tooth grass powder, pure white elf flower, the pituitary gland and cerebrospinal fluid of the colorful lizard dragon into the crucible, wave the magic wand to inject spirituality.

Aiden's talent for potions seemed to tell him that the preparation of sequence potions was like an overturned spice box, just a mixture of various ingredients. However, there was no time to think about it, and Aiden quickly collected the potions.

The colorful potions were packed in glass bottles, shining brightly in the sun. Finally, I had gathered all the conditions needed for promotion. But I couldn't be impatient. I still had to be fully prepared.

Aiden didn't rush to take the potion, but put away the glass bottle.

"Clean it up." Aiden used a descaling charm on the cauldron, extinguished the flame in the furnace, and returned to his room with the potion in his hand.

It was afternoon, and Ron, George, and Fred were playing outside, and the sounds of their playfulness could be heard from the courtyard from time to time. It seemed that they would not be back for a long time, so Aiden closed the doors and windows, making the room a completely enclosed space.

Okay, now it's time for promotion.
