Then, he concentrated his mind, mobilized the endless magic power in his body, and carefully manipulated the two liquid substances, allowing them to slowly merge together...
Samuel concentrated on manipulating his magic power, striving to successfully mix the potion in one go.
But suddenly, the medicine in front of Samuel failed to merge, and a pungent black smoke came out.
“…Failed.”
Samuel didn't feel that surprised. After all, the research and development of a new potion always requires many failures, but it would naturally be great if it could succeed in one go.
"There's a problem with the fusion of the medicinal liquid. This means the properties of the Amethyst Rose conflict with copper. The black smoke also proves this. Let's try silver instead."
After determining the cause of the failure, Samuel continued the experiment by switching to another type of magic metal.
As another puff of black smoke rose, Samuel's second experiment was declared a failure.
"Silver doesn't work...try gold."
He did it right away. This time, Samuel didn't even have time to clean up the table. He directly used the gold coins on the table to try to produce a fusion reaction with the amethyst rose.
And the gold really lived up to Samuel's expectations and did fuse with the amethyst rose, but the fusion was not complete and was not enough to be called a magic potion.
At this point in the experiment, Samuel was certain that the dragon blood absorbed by the Amethyst Rose was definitely not the blood of the Amethyst Dragon, but at the very least the blood of the Gem Dragon.
Gold, as a high-end mineral among dragons, can only achieve a semi-fused state with the Amethyst Rose. This shows that the magic content of the Amethyst Rose and the concentration of dragon blood are far higher than Samuel thought.
"If we use a large amount of gold or purify the gold itself, is it possible to reach the minimum standard for making the Amethyst Rose Potion..."
The current magician community, also known as the academic community, has the concept of purification.
Especially the purification of copper. By melting a large amount of copper together and then infusing it with a large amount of magic power, it can be purified into high-grade magical metal such as mountain copper.
However, the loss ratio is very high. On average, one thousand kilograms of copper can be purified into one kilogram of mountain copper, which is a ratio of 1000:1.
As for refined gold and mithril, Samuel had never heard of any kingdom so rich that would spend so many gold coins just to get a little refined gold.
"Well...it seems like this potion can't be made."
Samuel didn't expect that his first mission on Amethyst Island would end in failure.
