The on-site competition is in full swing. Nearly half of the little wizards have already started their preparations, while the other children are still thinking. It can be seen that they attach great importance to their first performance.

Gordon smiled and said, "Cool! Seeing so many energetic kids, I feel like I have seen the bright future of potions."

Maggie also smiled and said, "Maybe one day in the future, one of them will become a master of potions and create his own theory. It's quite interesting to think about it."

Zack looked at the children in the audience. Although he didn't say anything, he had the same idea.

After all, from his own perspective, he would not let go of these gifted children. If the other two teachers did not accept them, he would take them all in. However, it was unlikely that anyone would miss these gifted children selected from all over the country.

Gordon continued, "Happiness is a very interesting theme. In fact, not only potions that bring happiness are right. The sources of wizards' happiness are very complex. As long as you grasp any one of them, you can meet the requirements."

"I have to say that this topic is indeed a bit difficult to start with. Although the theme is joy, it is definitely a challenge for these little wizards."

Maggie nodded. "I hope I can get to know them through this topic. If it's too conventional, I can accept it, but I will still be a little disappointed. Come on, they are the top ten little wizards in the world."

If the first "Potion Master" was not well-known and not many people were willing to try it due to publicity and the fact that it was a new variety show, then "Potion Master Junior" is completely different. With such a good example, "Potion Master Junior" has already set off the largest audition event in the world. Although it is still impossible to reach everyone, the selection of people is definitely the top one in terms of quality and scope.

Gordon smiled and shook his head: "You are putting pressure on these little guys."

"No way." Maggie disagreed, "I just expressed my expectations of them."

Zach snorted coldly and suddenly interrupted the two of them: "Twenty minutes have passed. Those little devils who haven't taken action yet should prepare early and pack their bags to go home."

……

It's easy for time to slip away while thinking.

After hearing Zack's reminder, Yuri, Harry and Lucy also started to brew potions one after another.

In the evaluation of Li Daoxian's potion auxiliary system, Yuri's talent is defined as the reconciliation of contradictions; Harry has mirrored hands; and Lucy is well known to be a spell-mute, which is both a defect and a talent.

Now the only candidates left are Noah and Ava.

The two men were still meditating with their eyes closed, with no intention of taking any action. Even the materials they called over were quietly placed on the table.

……

Noah and Ava had been trying to combine these potions in their minds from the beginning, using the potion-assisted system.

The memory infusion of the potion-assisted system has made up for their lack of basics. Normally, it would be easier for them to brew potions than during the auditions, and the results would be better.

Primary and even intermediate potions are not a problem for the two of them at the moment. As long as they return normally, they will be able to brew qualified potions, and even higher quality is not impossible.

However, neither Noah nor Ava chose that option.

After they obtained the potion assistance system, they all made the same choice. They wanted to brew higher-level potions.

Even if you cannot reach a high level, you must make full use of your talent to complete a unique mid-level potion, and make full use of everything to achieve the best.

The two of them were completely unaware that when they obtained the Potion Assistance System, as the main manager and also the builder of the Potion Assistance System, his ambition to pursue the limits subtly influenced the two little wizards.

After careful consideration, Noah chose a direction and set his target on the high-level potion "Misaligned Time".

This is one of the most difficult potions even among high-level potions, because it involves time and often also involves the uncertainty of fate. Therefore, the effect of brewing this type of potion fluctuates greatly, but the difficulty and cost are not low.

As for where the potion formula came from, I naturally searched it through the [Learning] function. There was no other way. Without the key search term "time", the potions found would not be below the intermediate level.

Noah certainly had no intention of brewing "Misaligned Time". He just planned to refer to the framework of high-level potions and complete a simplified version with his "time-sensitive" talent.

Can you do it?

It should be possible, after all, it is just a simplified version.

After thinking about it and deciding on a simplified idea, Noah got the materials and realized that he seemed to have oversimplified the matter.

With the help of the system, he stumbled and applied the theory of potion ingredient balance in his memory, and finally pieced together a possible formula. However, after the brewing auxiliary function was launched, a new problem immediately emerged:

[Scanning current materials: Star Sand, Flowing Crystal, Eternal Vanilla, Time Fish Pointer...Material Grade: Perfect.]

[Preliminary verification of the processing method, brewing formula and process is underway...]

[Based on the user's current data, the processing of Star Sand and Flowing Crystal has exceeded our current capabilities, and a large amount of additional processing is required for the two materials...]

[Star Sand is a highly fluid time substance, which requires wizards to have strong control in order to maintain stability. The current user's control rating is low and does not have direct processing capabilities. The system recommends targeted processing. ]

[Flowing crystals have strong space-time tolerance, but their own energy is stable and requires a relatively complex framework to be practical. The system recommends targeted processing.]

That’s right, the handling of these two high-level materials is still a bit too difficult for Noah. If these two materials had not been rendered harmless long ago, I’m afraid Noah would be in danger if he were to come into close contact with these two materials now.

"According to the theory in my mind, I need to use other processing methods to reduce the difficulty of processing these two materials and help myself achieve my goal... Do I need to use rituals to assist, or adjust the framework? Do I need to add materials for balance, or..."

Countless thoughts popped up in Noah's mind.

This is the dilemma that potion makers often find themselves in.

They all understand the theory, but in the actual operation process, the problems they may encounter are far more complicated than the theories in the books. Moreover, as a magic with extremely high scalability, potions can be adjusted in many ways. However, it is difficult to say which adjustment method is better. This requires experience, intuition, and talent.

Noah currently lacks such talent and experience.

Originally, he lacked knowledge and did not have so many ways of dealing with the problem in his mind. He could only use his talent to force the potion that had deviated from its track back to the standard process. But now, he already knew that the closer the potion was to the standard rules, the better. A large number of choices appeared in his mind, which made him a little hesitant.

Of course, what made him even more hesitant was that under this series of system analysis, there was a button [Auxiliary Reference Answers].

The literal meaning is simple and easy to understand.

Obviously, if you encounter a problem, you only need to click this button and the system will help you analyze a set of solutions with a higher degree of feasibility.

But, does this sound like cheating?

After all, the functions of the potion assistance system are really too powerful. Once you choose it yourself, and the perfect formula really appears, is that your own ability?

Or should I adjust my thinking now, not involve the time element, and just follow the original idea to complete a potion of joy or a potion of sweet illusion?

But this does not reflect my uniqueness at all.

I have spent so much time thinking about it, and I have even finalized the formula. I had a chance to make a potion that completely met my ideas. Am I just going to give up?

Noah was instinctively unwilling.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Done. If I give up like this, even though there is a chance to make a better potion, I won't be myself if I just give up like this. The worst that can happen is..."

Noah made a decision and clicked the [Assisted Reference Answer] button.

After clicking the button, instead of a detailed formula appearing as Noah had expected, it went one step further. The interface in front of him disappeared, and he appeared in the simulation function.

In the simulation function, in the room where potion was brewed, in front of the familiar operating table, Noah saw the image of Li Daoxian.

Li Daoxian smiled slightly, raised his head, and said proudly: "Not a bad idea."

At this moment, Li Daoxian was full of confidence, an aura that emanated from within, as if nothing could stump him and everything seemed to be handled with ease.

As he spoke, Li Daoxian continued, "If I were you, I would choose this. Just wait and see."

As soon as he raised his hand, the materials came into his hands.

"Star Sand itself is a lower-level material of Time Sand. It also contains a large amount of time-attributed elements. It is not as difficult to process as Time Sand, but the problem is that it is not as stable as Time Sand."

"I will choose to refine."

"We need some of the elements, so the best way is to refine them. This is the fastest way and the one that is least likely to produce impurities. Of course, precipitation and slow release are also possible, but the composition of Star Sand is very complex. Slow release requires several layers of isolation fluid, which will greatly increase the number of impurities. In the end, although the finished product can be made, the potion effect is unlikely to meet expectations."

Li Daoxian spoke as he operated casually.

Obviously, the magic power and perception have been suppressed to the same level as Noah, but the smoothness of operation and the visual experience are completely different from what Noah had when he brewed it himself.

It's just a very ordinary action, but it looks particularly beautiful.

"Pay attention. We will choose to use a triple ritual here. The outermost layer is to build a stable space to screen out unwanted influences. The middle two layers are to assist in refining and better perception."

"When you grow up a little bit and your perception becomes sharper, you won't need these. But for now, if you want to control the progress in detail, you need some assistance."

Li Daoxian spoke calmly. While he was outlining the ritual, the base of the crucible on the other side was also completed. The star sand was thrown directly into it. At the moment of contact, the ritual rose up, and three ritual pillars wrapped the crucible.

"We only used stillwater stone powder as the base. Do you know why?"

The still water stone mentioned here is the crystal fragments obtained by directly soaking flowing crystal in "constant flow liquid".

Obviously, Li Daoxian's move also has profound meaning.

After thinking for a moment, Noah replied, "Because we put most of the functions into the ceremony."

Illusion in the auxiliary system Li Daoxian smiled and nodded: "That's right. When it comes to auxiliary processing, the adjustment of the potion's own structure is higher than the assistance of the magic circle, the assistance of the magic circle is higher than the assistance of the ritual, and the assistance of the ritual is higher than the assistance of the materials. Do you know why?"

Noah felt that just this one sentence swept away his previous confusion of being overwhelmed by countless choices, and a clear priority emerged in his mind.

"In order to avoid introducing more impurities as much as possible." Noah said excitedly, "The adjustment of the structure itself can allow the potion to complete the change of its own progress and maintain the original ingredients to the greatest extent."

"The magic array naturally has elemental divisions, which is also the inevitable basis for the formation of the magic array. This introduces additional elements."

"Rituals are more likely to interfere with spiritual will than magic arrays, and are more difficult to eliminate than elements."

"The impurities introduced by material assistance are relatively more complicated, so it is also the worst choice."

"But there are exceptions to everything. If you need to add a certain element or want to add a certain influence, you can use the following methods, but in the end, you also need to adjust the potion structure to complete it..."

Noah spoke faster and faster, becoming more and more excited, his face flushed and his eyes sparkling.

"The threshold and consumption of the ritual are lower than those of the magic circle, so for the current magic situation, teacher, you would be more inclined to use the ritual rather than the magic circle..."

Everything is understood now. Teacher Li Daoxian's style is to take all influencing factors into consideration. When all variables can be taken into account, they can be guided to the desired direction through different means and accommodated by adjusting the framework. There is no redundancy and no deficiency. This is perfection.

Illusionary Li Daoxian nodded slightly: "That's it."
