Simu Teyan was a young alchemist apprenticing under one of the three senior alchemists of Lucima City, Watawe Monor, the vice lord of the prestigious Monor family. The vice lord had recognized Simu's talent early on and made him his student. Simu was thrilled to have this opportunity and even had the chance to join the Monor family through marriage, which he could pursue after becoming a junior-level alchemist. Achieving this status required mastering a few fundamental alchemy recipes and techniques.
Simu had long since mastered the necessary techniques; the remaining challenge was the recipes. He had chosen some of the more difficult ones to master, including the recipe for Qi potions. He had even modified this recipe to improve it. However, enhancing an already well-established recipe took a significant amount of time and resources.
