Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 226: Golden Stamina Potion
The concoction of the new potion was not difficult. Charlotte adjusted the amount of golden vine roots, stems, and leaves, creating a bottle of pale golden potion that was relatively clear and transparent, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.
Then, he added the roots and leaves to the original formula of the stamina potion and brewed a second potion.
He took the potions and went to the next room to conduct a test on the mice.
He first forced two freshly caught mice to run on a treadmill until they were almost exhausted and then fed them a few drops of the potions.
Jerry No. 7, who was fed the first potion, immediately showed excellent recovery effects and climbed back on the treadmill, continuing to run.
However, Jerry No. 6, who was fed the second potion, froze. Charlotte prodded it with a wooden stick, and it suddenly seemed to be activated, crashing into the iron pillar in the corner of the cage with a loud bang.
The impact was quite strong, causing blood to flow from its head. Its legs twitched, and it died on the spot without any chance of being saved.
“It’s poisonous.”
Charlotte poured most of the remaining potion into the trash bin. After adding the golden vine, it seemed that the potion would harm the brain nerves. It was like hitting a wall and not turning back.
Fortunately, he hadn’t experimented on himself; otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that it could have killed him.
Jerry No. 1 continued to run vigorously on the treadmill, showing that the recovery effect of pure golden vine was quite good, and there were no obvious side effects.
After a while, Charlotte stopped the treadmill and gave Jerry No. 7 a few peanut-shaped clay pellets to eat.
Watching the mouse enjoy eating the pellets, Charlotte fell into silence.
The side effect of losing the sense of taste was indeed significant.
It seemed that he needed to adjust the amount of golden leaves or add more effective toxic suppressants.
The so-called concoction of potions was the process of maximizing the effects of certain properties while suppressing and eliminating unnecessary side effects.
It was similar to alchemy in a way.
Besides the properties of the potion, the balance of the five elements and the proper combination determined the final quality of the potion.
The higher the quality of the raw materials, the smaller the side effects, and the simpler the brewing process, allowing the characteristics of the materials to be maximized.
Materials like a golden vine, which had obvious advantages and disadvantages, required the right materials to suppress the toxicity to successfully brew a stamina potion.
Otherwise, the toxicity might be amplified, leading to tragedies where the users would crash into walls and die.
If a failure occurred, then starting over was what Charlotte always lacked.
That night, he tried all the detoxifying materials he had on hand, creating seven or eight versions of the potions and testing them on the mice one by one.
Jerry No. 2, 3, and 5 died in the line of duty.
Finally, he obtained the best potion made from 100g of golden vine rhizome, 200g of golden leaves, 100g of green-eyed toad, and 50g of mint leaves.
After drinking the potion, Jerry No. 1 quickly recognized the clay pellets as peanuts and accurately held a genuine peanut to nibble on.
“Is it okay?” Charlotte stood in front of the No. 1 cage for a long observation. Jerry No. 1’s behavior was completely normal, including the sense of smell and taste which hadn’t disappeared.
After hesitating for a while, Charlotte grabbed the bottle of potion and went to Vivian’s room on the second floor. He held the doorknob with one hand and the bottle of potion with the other.
It was late, and Vivian was already asleep. If there was something wrong with the potion, he needed to ensure that he could receive her medical treatment in the shortest amount of time.
He valued his life; he was serious about it.
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte drank half a bottle of potion in one gulp.
The taste of the potion was not pleasant; it even felt like it was cutting his throat. Fortunately, there was no strange smell.
After swallowing it, a flame seemed to ignite and burn down his throat, causing his blood to boil, and the recovery of his stamina was immediately noticeable.
Charlotte took a moment to sink in, realizing that he had only consumed half a bottle of the potion, but the recovery effect was already exceeding 10%.
[Test result: Recovery efficacy for intermediate knights is 24.5%, reaching the standard! Potion side effects are controllable!]
[New task of developing stamina potion successful! Reward: ‘Potion Development Rising Star’ title! Encyclopedia of Potion Materials *1.]
The system’s voice rang out.
Charlotte opened his eyes and found that he now had a thick black book in his hand.
It was precisely the “Encyclopedia of Potions” he had been longing for.
This was a massive book, as thick as three or four dictionaries put together.
He casually opened it and found a variety of materials recorded inside. Not only did it provide detailed descriptions of their medicinal properties, but it also included illustrations.
After skimming through it for a while, Charlotte couldn’t help but smile with joy.
This book was truly the best tool for alchemists. With it, the difficulty of potion refining visibly decreased.
From the contents, he could see that the book was arranged according to the materials’ characteristics. For example, materials with hemostatic effects were grouped, materials that could counteract snake venom formed another group, and materials that could rapidly restore strength were classified separately.
When using it, one could quickly find the appropriate material database based on their needs, and then match them with various detailed characteristics of potions to create suitable formulas.
Setting the book aside for the moment, Charlotte excitedly took the remaining half bottle of potion and went downstairs, quickly jotting down the formula for this potion on a piece of paper.
With a recovery effect close to 25% for intermediate knights, this stamina potion not only exceeded the system’s task requirements but also far exceeded Charlotte’s expectations.
Although its effect was weaker than chewing on golden vine roots, the poison’s side effects were eliminated. This meant that the potion could be repeatedly consumed, allowing for a rapid replenishment of stamina.
Charlotte took out a piece of candy from the jar and tasted the sweetness.
His sense of smell was also unaffected.
Although upon careful observation, his tongue felt a slight tingling sensation, it didn’t affect his sense of taste and was barely noticeable.
According to the system’s description, the side effect was controllable and wouldn’t have any adverse effects on the consumer.
“This bottle should be worth at least 1,800 copper coins, right?” Charlotte pondered.
The golden vine didn’t cost anything; Jonah and his sister provided him with a large bag, enough to refine hundreds of bottles of potions.
Peppermint leaves were inexpensive, and the cost of ingredients for one potion wouldn’t exceed 1 copper coin.
While 100g of green-eyed toad was slightly more expensive, it would cost 30 copper coins.
Even if he had to pay for someone to dig up the golden vine later on, the unit price shouldn’t be too high.
All in all, the cost of one stamina potion would be within 40 copper coins.
With a recovery effect of 25% for intermediate knights, it indicated that it would also have a certain recovery effect for advanced knights, although he wasn’t sure what the exact value would be.
But for a novice knight, this would be a great tonic. After consuming one bottle, it might even fill up their recovery completely.
If used in the wilderness, it would be like having a second life.
Charlotte had seen stamina recovery potions displayed on Harry’s shelf before. They were priced at 1,600 copper coins per bottle.
According to his standards, those should have a recovery effect of around 10%.
This price turned stamina potions into luxury items.
