"Basics of Alchemy."
The title engraved on the cover drew Aur's attention immediately, prompting him to delve into its contents. This book, acquired from the second elder, seemed to be a resource aimed at encouraging Aur to explore the realm of alchemy, almost as an afterthought.
Becoming an Alchemist was a matter of talent, hard work, and resources, but talent stood above all. One could lack diligence or even materials, but without inherent talent, becoming an alchemist was nearly impossible.
As Aur pored over the pages, a vast sea of information unfolded before him. Though the book wasn't thick, its content was dense, comprising millions of words written in a language that was challenging.
"Hoh," Aur took a deep breath, absorbing the complexity of the text as he closed the book and rubbed his temples. Despite his efforts, he could barely comprehend the basics of it and potion making technique to it.
