Chapter 843 Deciphering the Origin of Potions!(2/2)
"In the introductory stage of potions, the most important thing is to reduce accidents. The rarer the element, the easier it is for you to control and understand, and the easier it is to find problems. When you grow to a certain stage, you can
Start trying to sacrifice stability in pursuit of efficiency, and look for some surprises beyond the established results.”
"So, the role of nettles in this potion is to give it a way to take effect?"
Elena tapped her lips thoughtfully and murmured quietly.
Compared with several other subjects, Potions was the most difficult subject for her to understand before, because it is not actually alchemy in the strict sense - it does not follow the equivalent exchange of substances, nor does it follow chemical rules.

However, Severus Snape is obviously more suitable as a researcher than a simple teacher.
Professional strength and teaching ability, these are two different dimensions of evaluation criteria - in terms of the integration of civilization between the non-magical world and the magical world, Horace Slughorn is outstanding in terms of both knowledge reserve and ease of understanding.
