In the laboratory, failure was a very common thing.
Jon naturally didn't think that he would be able to successfully concoct such a high-grade potion on his first try, but after more than ten failures, he began to doubt his life.
The previous failures could be attributed to the lack of proficiency, but this time, Chao En couldn't accept the fact that Rhode had failed.
There was no problem with the extraction, there was no problem with the steps, there was no problem with everything, so where did the problem lie?
Jon didn't know where his experiment went wrong. He diluted the potion that had deteriorated because of exposure for too long and poured it into the water tank and began to think.
The effect of the Bloodline Purification Potion didn't last long. The first time it was made, it was either sealed and stored, or used directly. Leaving it in the air for a long time would cause the magic in the potion to evaporate. In fact, after adding the Cedarwood Flower, this characteristic was no longer so obvious.
The reason why Jon let the potion go to waste was entirely because he didn't have the first-hand information.
The medicinal materials at hand were very sufficient. Because the old Wizard died, Jon took all the fire fruits there for himself. Before, he used the fire fruits of ordinary quality, but the essence of a fire fruit could only be used twice. Now, Jon didn't have many chances left.
He needed to prepare at least three portions of the purified potion. Now, the remaining fire fruits at hand, no matter how many times he extracted, could only be used eight times.
Therefore, he must try the correct potion method within four times.
This was a very difficult process.
But even Jon couldn't avoid this process. Helga said that his body couldn't.
Of course, that was according to Helga's standards. Perhaps Jon was already stronger than many Wizards, but if he wanted to become a legendary Wizard or even one step closer, Jon's current body couldn't do it.
The body here, of course, referred to the blood flowing in Jon's body.
Bloodline was a very strange concept. Most of the time, Muggle believed that human blood was just ordinary blood that could be interchanged. For example, the existence of blood transfusion was a method created by Muggle to make up for the lack of blood supply in the human body.
Sharing the blood of different people was in itself a denial of the bloodline, wasn't it?
Jon didn't think so. Regardless of whether it was the East or the West, the concept of bloodlines in the occult was surprisingly consistent. Father, son, brothers, relatives, and family bloodlines formed a pure, uncriticized collection. In this collection, social relationships were formed.
However, this wasn't in line with the law of evolution because humans were a relatively fragile species to nature. Blindly emphasizing the purity of the bloodline would only lead to the extinction of one's own bloodline.
As for the "bloodline" in mysticism, in Muggle's society, it probably referred to genes.
The scientific system believed that good genes could better promote human evolution. After eliminating bad genes, it would be more beneficial for the continuation of the race.
In the system of mysticism, in Helga's theory, the so-called bloodline also meant that the better genes a person had, the stronger the attraction to magic elements, and the higher the possibility of becoming a Wizard. And the higher the possibility, the stronger the possibility for a Wizard.
In this way, it caused the phenomenon of a Wizard with a pure bloodline to be stronger. No one looked into it in detail, and it was only passed down as a tradition.
Traditions weren't necessarily bad, but the dogma of the pureblood families to maintain the purity of their bloodlines was indeed ridiculous. There were only so many pureblood families in the Wizard world, and in the end, they were all relatives.
Salazar had never denied that Muggle was a Wizard. To be able to become one of the founders of the Hogwarts, at least proved that this person had a considerable degree of foresight. However, even now, there was still a barrier between pureblood and Wizard. The information that the two came into contact with was different, so there was bound to be a class gap.
In the Age of Chaos a thousand years ago, this gap must have been even more obvious.
The founding of the Hogwarts, in addition to building a war fortress, also served the purpose of recruiting and teaching those Wizard Muggles who didn't have a leader. Although Salazar despised the Wizard Muggles for not having enough talent, he had always been just talking about it. When it came to researching bloodline potions, it was hard to say that he didn't have other thoughts in his heart.
Researching bloodlines couldn't be just because he wanted to advance, right?
Salazar Slythrin was a legendary Wizard, and a legendary Wizard with extremely high standards. He wasn't Voldemort, so he wasn't so radical, and his mind wasn't full of fighting and killing.
Jon flipped through the original "Wizard Bloodline Activation Theory" in his hand, trying to find the reason for Salazar's success.
It didn't make sense. If Salazar could succeed, his Helga's improved formula should have some reaction even if it didn't succeed.
The ingredients used were all from the same era. Helga didn't just find some random things to fool around with because some of the raw materials couldn't be found. This was a formula that Helga carefully modified based on Salazar's foundation. As long as Salazar's original potion was usable, then Jon's formula wouldn't be fake.
No matter how he looked at it, these potions that he made now were now useless did not look like a mistake.
Every operation was strictly according to the process. If there was a mistake, it could only be a mistake made in the first few times, and not a mistake made in the next few times.
The results of the previous few experiments were all different, and the phenomena were also different. There was basically no difference in the next few times.
So what exactly went wrong?
Jon rubbed the book in his hand. The reason why this book was called an old book was that a thousand years ago, after writing a book, it was not printed. Basically, the manuscript submitted by Salazar himself was bound, and then some copies were made using a copy spell. The seller of the book put a seal on the book before selling it to prevent a second copy. So in some theory, the book in Jon's hand could be regarded as Salazar's manuscript.
However, manuscripts were also divided into authenticity and value. The one in Jon's hand was a copy of a worthless copy, because the things recorded in it had no practical value and could only be regarded as a collection.
No one would have thought that Jon could change the formula by using a plug-in called "Helga".
But …
Jon touched the first page of the book and felt that something was wrong.
