Chapter 186: Academy

Fund Aisi closed the door of their office, and then Angelo asked Locke, “Locke, how long does it take you to refine that Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion?”

Locke thought for a moment. “About one every half hour.”

“And it drains my energy. I can’t make more than eight Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potions a day. If I make too many, it might affect my meditation at night.”

“However, the formula and process of this potion have not changed at all. The only difference is that the main ingredient has been replaced from emerald lichen to the emerald iris lichen that I cultivated.”

Angel and Aisi’s eyes lit up.

According to Locke, any alchemist’s assistant who has mastered the recipe for the Bear Bile Potion can actually make the Bear Bile Potion as long as they purchase the Emerald Iris Lichen.

The Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion developed by Locke has very universal value in terms of both its effectiveness and economic potential.

This means that now the two of them can also help Locke to refine the Bear Spirit Green Gall potion to prevent the work from being placed on one person and creating too much work pressure.

Angelo said, “Then we can also help you make the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion.”

Ai Xi said, “It’s best not to go through the treatment center’s internal route. That will definitely lower your purchase price for the Emerald Iris Lichen. Locke, you still have to sell the Emerald Iris Lichen to your friend, Manager Yuli, at Lijin Secret Language. That way, the treatment center and Lijin Secret Language will be the ones negotiating.”

“Madam Irina, the woman behind Li Jin’s Secret Language, is also the owner of our Owl Crucible. She’s quite powerful. Leveraging her influence to negotiate the price of the Emerald Iris Lichen will definitely protect your interests to the greatest extent possible.”

Locke meant the same thing.

If you negotiate the price for treatment on your own, you will definitely suffer a loss.

Locke suggested, “But I can provide you with Emerald Iris Lichen for free. You can help me refine the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion. We can first make some money from these patients, and at the same time strive for a spot as this year’s Outstanding Therapist, or even an Outstanding Therapist.”

Locke considered it for a long time before deciding to do this.

Doing this is indeed a bit of a loss, but it is a necessary sacrifice.

They are a team similar to Angron Studios.

The amount of Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion that he could refine every day was limited, but a patient needed more than one Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion.

If more Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potions could be produced, all first-class wizard apprentices who were cursed by the demonic plants at present and in the future could be cured quickly and completely. They could even snatch those first-class wizard apprentices who were cursed by the tricky curses from the teams in other treatment centers.

It would be best if I could ask Aisi and Angelo for help and reach an agreement with them to transfer the number of patients they treat to me.

Ten minutes later, after discussion, Aisi and Angelo agreed that 80% of their team’s patient treatment capacity would be allocated to Locke, and the remaining 20% would be divided equally between the two of them.

In other words, in the future, most of the patients treated by this team will be nominally led by Locke, while Aisi and Angelo will only assist Locke.

This is mainly because their team will try to use the Xiongling Cuidan potion to treat patients in the future and collect data on the results transformation of this potion.

Since Locke provided the raw materials of the Emerald Iris Lichen, if Locke did not charge them, it would be equivalent to them using the materials and formulas provided by Locke, so naturally the bulk of the profits would go to Locke.

This is equivalent to the team in the treatment center, under Locke’s guidance and leadership, gradually becoming a team of therapists led by Locke.

An organizational structure similar to Angron Studio was formed, with Angron as the core.

In fact, Locke had two first-class wizard apprentice partners for the first time.

This is very beneficial to Locke.

Locke’s goal was the potion awarded as the outstanding healer this year. If he could obtain it, he could quickly increase his mana significantly, saving himself the time it would take to increase it slowly.

This is also very beneficial for Aisi and Angelo.

The two of them are equivalent to participating in a very promising project. Not only will their salary not be reduced in the future, they will even get more, and even receive additional rewards from the college.

Locke, Angelo and Aisi nodded to each other, celebrating the formation of a real team among them.

Locke said to Angelo and Aisi, “Let’s start now in the laboratory at the treatment center and prepare the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion. With the three of us, we should be able to prepare enough to treat the remaining sixteen patients today.”

Angelo and Aisi are both veteran potion master assistants. They are very proficient in making bear bile potions, and it is not surprising that they can prepare twenty potions a day.

Therefore, if the two of them work hard every day, they can produce about forty Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potions.

Of course, Locke has only planted ten acres of emerald iris lichen at present. Even if he uses high-grade fast-growing agent gel, the number of emerald iris lichens that can be produced each month is only about eighty.

Locke now only has a hundred plants in stock.

Fortunately, one emerald iris lichen can be used to make about two to three bottles of Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potions.

So for now, it is enough for them.

Locke thought that he should apply for some funds, or get some orders for Emerald Iris Lichen, so that he could quickly expand the magic field of Emerald Iris Lichen without worrying about the problem of a broken capital chain.

In the absence of orders, rapid expansion still involves some risk.

After all, this thing is an agricultural product, and it costs money just to preserve it.

Locke, Aisi, and Angelo began to work quickly amid the mixed feelings of the other potion master assistants in the treatment center.

By the evening, most of the first-class wizard apprentices who were cursed by the evil plant had been completely cured of the curse after taking the Bear Spirit Green Gall potion, and their vitality was not damaged.

These first-class wizard apprentices are in good condition, so they don’t need intravenous injections. They only need to take the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion orally to increase their magic resistance, and they can naturally overcome the magic plant curse.

At the end of the evening, when Locke and the others were in the office, Aisi said with a bit of pride: “Locke, Angelo, you really should see the expressions of those potion master assistants who laughed at us before…”

“Someone even wanted to ask me where to buy Emerald Iris Lichen. I told him that the Lijin Secret Language shop would be selling it in the future, but it would take a few more months.”

“Ha ha ha ha……”

“Even the people at Angron Studio wanted to know where I bought the Emerald Iris Lichen. I told them it was something Locke had just developed and couldn’t be bought anywhere else. Everyone in the studio was stunned, speechless in front of me.”

Angelo raised his brows. “Those people just tried to shirk responsibility.”

“Naturally, they won’t get this benefit.”

Angelo looked at Locke and found him looking down at some documents. “Locke, what are you looking at? I’ll treat you to dinner at the witch’s kitchen tonight.”

Locke put away the information. “This is a patient’s profile given to me by Wizard Derek Jones, the official wizard on the third floor. He noticed the superiority of the new potion we’re using, so he wanted to recommend a patient who’s been cursed with a split consciousness for us to try treating.”

“As you know, this kind of curse is very difficult to treat, and even if it is cured, it will leave sequelae that will affect the wizard’s future.”

“Therefore, if the Xiongling Cuidan potion is very effective, related patients will be given priority in the future.”

Aisi and Angel’s eyes lit up.

The source of the disease means money and qualifications.

Locke said, “The academy’s leadership seems particularly optimistic about our potion. Senior Advisor, Wizard Francis, has already ordered the Healing Hands Clinic to prioritize referring sources of disease to us. We’ll use this to test the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder potion’s effectiveness in treating various curses, and to help us conduct animal experiments, human experiments, and wizard apprentice experiments.”

Locke looked at the extra reward in his hand. “The academy gave me one thousand magic stones as a reward for an outstanding project. I’m going to use this money to continue the third phase of the Bear Spirit Green Gallbladder Potion trial.”

“And let me produce results sooner rather than later.”

“Outstanding Project Award! I didn’t know the college even had this kind of subsidy.”

Angelo and Aisi’s eyes lit up. Angelo said, “The academy does have a fund to support outstanding projects among first-class wizard apprentices. However, you have to apply for it, and it’s very difficult. This is the first time I’ve seen someone get an award for an outstanding project without applying.”

Angelo looked peculiar. “Ai Xi and I have been applying for ten years and haven’t been accepted once.”

“Just like being a formal wizard, there will be a fund subsidy established by the White Wizard Association, and the academy has also established a special project reward for first-class wizard apprentices.”

“As long as the academy deems your R&D project to be extremely valuable and highly feasible, you may be able to apply for additional Magic Stone funding from the academy to help you continue your research and development.”

“But this is very difficult. To some extent, it is also a kind of honor. It’s not just about the money. As long as you can apply for it, your overall evaluation score will be improved, which can be used when selecting the chief apprentice, wizard seed, and potion star.”

“Of course, these three titles are very far away from us,” Angelo said. “Ai Xi and I never thought that one day we might get such titles.”

“But, Locke, I think you have the potential.”
