Chapter 261 Beauty Potion and Dragon Potion

Advanced Potion Making by Severus Snape is the perfect choice for young wizards who want to improve their potion skills.Using it, even Harry, who was mediocre before, can improve by leaps and bounds—of course, the reason for changing teachers cannot be ruled out.

After reading Snape's old textbooks, Lu Ren really benefited a lot. In addition to potion formulas, he also learned several spells invented exclusively by Snape.For example, the curse lock tongue that can make people's tongue stick to the palate to seal the throat, the upside-down fuchsia and its anti-curse fuchsia fall to the ground, the earplugs that can prevent eavesdropping, and the extremely lethal Shenfeng Wuying .

Although these spells are not high enough except Shenfengwuying, they are actually all in the category of black magic.Black magic is not equal to black magic, but it is indeed a type of magic related to black magic.There are three types of black magic.Minimal negative, annoying but fun jinxes - repelling, volley and pull are all in this list;

There are moderately negative curses that cause a certain degree of pain or injury; there are also curses that are the most negative and cause intense or even irreversible pain or injury, the most notorious of which are the Cruciatus Curse, Imperius Curse, and Killing Curse .

The difference between a curse, a curse, and a poisonous curse is that the curse needs to call on the evil power deep in the heart to cast it, and the other two are just less famous curses.Curses should be used sparingly. Indulging in curses is likely to cause oneself to fall into darkness, and the other two have no negative effects.

In the few days when Lu Ren just learned Shenfeng Wuying, the furniture in the room and the dummies on the training ground were incomplete. Lu Ren has been trying to combine Shenfeng Wuying with his explosive spell, but no progress It didn't go well.

Hermione was very disdainful of the instructions in this textbook at first.Not only is she disdainful, but she is also very wary of this book due to her experience in the second grade.

"We should check to see if there's anything wrong with it." This was her first reaction, but even Hermione used many of her newly mastered "Revealing" spells, and she couldn't find any flaws in the old book—— It is just an ordinary book.

Even though the book was fine, Hermione refused to use the tricks in it. She followed the official guidelines in the book without hesitation, but the potion she brewed was far inferior to Lu Ren following Snape's instructions. The operation is satisfactory, so her temper is getting worse and worse.

Now she even wraps Lu Ren in an invisibility cloak while taking a shower and rushes to the corridor!It will also lock the door!

Lu Ren felt very bad.Although he explained to Hermione that the book belonged to Snape, Hermione did not accept it-this is just your excuse, and there is no direct evidence that the half-blood prince is Professor Snape-this is her wish to Lu Ren refute.

Lu Ren could only find a way to make up for it.He chose to make a beauty potion.This is a potion that can make a person's appearance beautiful. Lu Ren believed that with the help of this potion, Hermione would definitely be able to regain her happiness.

The formulation of this potion is somewhat complicated.Divided into two stages.

In the first stage, Lu Ren needs to grind the fairy wings bought at a high price into powder and put them into the crucible, stir clockwise three times, then add five drops of morning dew into the crucible, then turn counterclockwise ten times while heating for 15 seconds.Also paired with some specific wand moves.

This step is to extract the essence from the fairy wings.Then it is the second stage of adding excipients to adjust.Unlike the hard work of more than two hours in the first stage, the second stage only takes tens of seconds.

Lu Ren needs to put seven rose petals and four feather coats into the crucible, stir clockwise for five times, and then put one part of unicorn tail hair into the crucible—this step was originally the most expensive step, but fortunately, Lu Ren Ren can prostitute unicorn tail hair for free.

Stir counterclockwise for eight circles, then add three minutes of ground ginger powder, heat for ten seconds and it's done.

This potion was very difficult to prepare, because the balance of the potion would be broken if the grinding was poor or the mixing was uneven. Lu Ren had to try three times to make it right.

When Lu Ren handed over the small bottle, Hermione was still depressed.

"Is this the potion you prepared with the prince's formula again?" She raised her eyebrows and said.

"No, I did it according to the instructions in the book." Lu Ren only said half of the sentence, he concealed a fact: Snape did not write the improvement method of this potion.

"Okay then, I'll try the medicine for you." Hermione opened the crystal bottle and poured the potion in one gulp.

After drinking the potion, Hermione's face and figure became more pleasing to the eye, and some small blemishes on her skin caused by staying up late gradually disappeared.

Facing Hermione like this, Lu Ren felt a little strange, he couldn't help clamping his legs tightly, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Yo, are you blushing?" Hermione seemed to have discovered a new world, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared quickly.But before she could say anything else, Lu Ren bent over and ran to the bathroom, and didn't come out until the effect of the potion faded.

In the following days, they tried to prepare countless potions: living hell decoction, euphoria potion, broad-spectrum antidote...

As potions advanced, they also touched more difficult areas, such as Elixirs of Felicia and Elixirs of Love.In fact, Hermione wanted to make compound soup, but Lu Ren couldn't buy the key ingredient: African tree snake skin, so he had to give up.

However, many potions cannot be prepared within five hours. They can only leave the potions in the house and go back in time after the time is over or the preparation is completed.

In the end, Lu Ren felt that the time had come, and it was time to prepare the dragon potion according to the parchment.

There are two keys to the dragon potion, one is that you need a fire dragon, which is the basis of evolution, and the other is that you need a dragon crystal.This kind of dragon crystal is not the dragon blood crystal that Lu Ren thought, but the essence condensed after the death of the dragon.It can be said that the seat of a giant dragon is a radish and a hole. There may be other ways to make a fire dragon evolve into a giant dragon, but Lu Ren doesn't know.

The dragon potion requires three necessary auxiliary potions and more than a dozen non-essential auxiliary potions, each of which is as difficult to prepare as a blessing potion, and the potion required for one preparation will cost nearly a hundred plus in material costs alone. Long, not to mention the time cost.

One of the three necessary auxiliary potions is to stimulate the magic power in the dragon crystal, so that the magic power can be activated to facilitate the fire dragon to absorb, and the other two strengthen the body and soul of the fire dragon respectively, so that the body and soul of the fire dragon can accommodate the dragon crystal energy within.

The three are indispensable. Without the potion to strengthen the body and soul, the fire dragon will be exploded by the magic power of the giant dragon. If there is no potion to stimulate the magic power, then the dragon trainer will just wait.Maybe he still needs to learn how to make the Philosopher's Stone to see his dragon turn into a dragon in his lifetime.

As for the rest of the potions, they are all similar to strengthening protective charms, which are used to increase the success rate.
