The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 273
Chapter 273: Wrong Sequence (2)
Luo De could not bear to continue watching her when she messed up the sequences in the process.
However, when he saw Shen Yanxiao’s absolute focus on the task, he felt bad about interrupting her. So he allowed her to continue despite her mistakes.
A pale yellow potion appeared soon enough. Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and then gave the completed Aura Concealment Potion to Luo De, who wore an ugly expression on his face.
Luo De hesitated, but he took the potion anyway as he looked at Shen Yanxiao with uncertainty.
The potion that Shen Yanxiao had produced looked almost identical to the one that he did. However, he had personally witnessed her attempt, and even if someone had a sword to his throat, he could not believe that it was a successful Aura Concealment Potion.
Perhaps the potions only looked similar in appearance?
Luo De took a deep breath before he sniffed the bottle. A faint medicinal fragrance entered his nose, and the familiar smell assaulted his mind.
“How could this be…” Luo De stared at the potion in disbelief.
He was familiar with the scent of the Aura Concealment Potion, and the potion that he held in his hand had the exact same smell of a perfectly produced Aura Concealment Potion.
However, how was that possible?
He had witnessed Shen Yanxiao’s mistakes! Her mistakes had led to changes in the properties of the medicinal ingredients, so it was impossible to produce a successful Aura Concealment Potion from her attempt!
The appearance and the scent of the potion in his hands were completely identical to the one that he had produced!
One might even say that it had a higher purity than the one that he had made.
Luo De looked at Shen Yanxiao with an extremely complicated expression.
“Did you know that you made a huge mistake when you added the medicinal ingredients?” Luo De asked as he narrowed his eyes at her.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, “Are you referring to the sequence in adding the medicinal ingredients?
“Yes, that’s right.” Luo De nodded. In all honesty, he could not ascertain if the potion he had in his hands was a completed product or not.
Shen Yanxia shrugged her shoulders and said, “The exact sequences in the process to produce the potion was to improve the balance of each medicinal ingredient. At the same time, it was also to preserve the effect of the potion. Even though teacher Luo De’s steps could preserve the potion’s effect, the four ingredients in the Aura Concealment Potion would strongly repel each other. Unless one was a hundred percent sure that they had the precise quantity for each of these four ingredients, it could very well lead to failure.”
Luo De gave her an affirmative nod. Everyone knew about the medicinal ingredients that repelled each other and how it increased the difficulty in the production of the Aura Concealment Potion.
However, what did that have to do with anything?
When Luo De gave her an affirmed response, Shen Yanxiao continued, “I could only vaguely see the quantity that you had used. Since this is my first attempt, I was not sure as well. Therefore, I decided to change the sequence of the process. First, I added the first four strongest ingredients and then used the medicinal effects of the other ingredients to combine them together. With that, not only could I ensure the success of the potion, but I could also reduce repellence when they combined. As a result, there was no violent clash between the four types of ingredients, and it was also easier to produce.”
Shen Yanxiao knew that her change of sequence would have a significant impact on the other students, but she did not care about that at all. She only wanted to achieve her goal, and not be burdened by other people’s opinions of her.
