Two months had passed since Adam explored the goblin cave. He meticulously searched every inch of it and discovered something truly fascinating. Beyond the door in the middle lay an extensive network of cave systems, and in one of the darker pathways, he stumbled upon a lake, but not any normal lake since the lake that he found was used for many things which was mainly used to make all types of potions!
He now had one of the main elements to brew potions which was a special kind of water called "Arcane water", mainly found in special dark caves. Arcane water is able to be used to brew all potions, they are natural. Other kinds of waters to be used are pure spring water, waters blessed by a powerful mage, spirits, higher entities, ect...
He of course took some waters for himself, it should be able to last him for several years, while the lake and the cave would be concealed by him to make anyone unable to find it. Now, to make potions, he had to find the proper ingredients for each of them.
After all, his fourth class would be an Alchemist! His goal was to master the Alchemist class, the realm of potion brewers, poison makers, and creators of magical concoctions. In his view, this was one of the most beneficial classes to master.
To gain the alchemist class, one would need to conduct a type of potion by themselves. They would need a mentor to teach them or by studying and researching all types of alchemist related things. Of course, Adam decided to brew a healing potion, known to be one of the simplest potions to brew in the field of Alchemist, and to do that he would need to know the recipe of the potion.
But Adam has it easy since he already has the recipe thanks to the knowledge he received. In those two months, he entered his own mind and researched alchemists and found all kinds of potion recipes. Potions can be made by different ingredients, for example, if Adam decided to use an herb to make the potion, then someone could decide to use a different ingredient that has the same effect the herb Adam used has.
"System, show me the recipe for the healing potion." He said out loud since he was the only one here.
He was currently sitting at the edge of a cliff, surrounding him were trees, below the cliff was a gland forest. His teacher was currently looking for someone, but he didn't know what so he decided to just wait.
[Of course! Here there are~]
[1. Crystal Water: Water collected from a crystal-clear spring or enchanted fountain, imbued with natural healing energies.]
Adam nodded, substituting this with the Arcane water he had collected
[2. Wolfsbane: A rare herb known for its healing properties. It's often found deep in forests or mountainous regions]
Adam already has this ingredient considering he was in a forest filled with them.
[3. 3 Glowing mushrooms: These mushrooms emit a soft, healing glow and are typically found in damp caves or underground tunnels.]
Adam found these herbs growing next to the arcane water so it was not a problem.
[4. Dragon's Blood: A drop of blood from a dragon, known for its potent healing properties and ability to ward off infections.]
For most, obtaining dragon's blood was a near-impossible feat, but for Adam, a dragon himself, it was a simple task!
The normal recipe was to get an Aloe Vera to make the potion, but Adam substituted his blood with the herd, after all, he made potion recipes that were only beneficial to him!
[5. Sunflower Essence: Extracted from the petals of sunflowers, this essence provides a boost of vitality and warmth to the potion.]
This was the easiest ingredient to get so again, it was no problem for Adam
[4. Fairy Dust: Collected from the wings of fairies, this magical substance enhances the potency of the potion.]
This wasn't necessary to make the potions but since Adam had easy access to fairy dust thanks to violet, why wouldn't he increase the potency of the potion? Of course, they trade it through the system.
All the ingredients and materials needed are stored in Adam's inventory, and now comes the hard part, which is combining all the ingredients to make the potion!
Adam took out a knife and a cauldron from his inventory. He already had a fire so he placed the cauldron on top of it. He also took out a small wooden table and placed it next to the fire, noticing that everything was ready, he sighed and began to make the potion.
"system, show me the introductions one by one." Of course, he would need the help of his reliable system!
[Yes master!]
[Introductions]
[1. Pour the crystal water into the cauldron.]
Adam took out a water container that was the size of a bottle and poured the water inside the cauldron filling it halfway through.
[2. Begin by finely chopping the wolfsbane and adding it to a cauldron or potion-making vessel.]
Adam took out the wolfsbane from his inventory and placed it on the table, then he carefully began chopping it, after a while, he stopped. He placed the knife aside and picked up the chopped wolfsbane, then he carefully put it inside the cauldron. The only way to know it worked is by the water slowly turning green.
[3. Next, carefully crush the glowing mushrooms into a fine powder and add them to the mixture.]
'Oh right, the mortar and pestle!'
Adam took out the mortar and pestle from his inventory and placed it on the table. Then, he added the three growing mushrooms inside and began to crush them with the pestle. After seeing them turn into fine powder, he stopped and lifted the mortar, he walked to the cauldron and poured them inside.
The only effect was the water turning counterclockwise making the ingredients mixed into each other.
[4. With great caution, add a drop of dragon's blood to the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate its healing properties.]
Adam picked up the knife and walked up next to the side of the cauldron. Upon arriving, he raised his left hand on top of the cauldron and sliced his finger enough for a drop of blood to come up.
Upon the blood coming into contact with the green water, a great miss came out of the cauldron and started to slowly engulf the surroundings with smoke.
However, Adam didn't move and instead took out a fine stick from his inventory to stir the potion. He gently and carefully stir the liquid for about two minutes when all the ingredients have mixed together.
The liquid color now belongs to a red mixed with some hint of green flowing around the middle.
[5. add a few drops of sunflower essence to the potion, stirring clockwise to blend all the ingredients together.]
Adam took out the sunflower essence from his inventory and added a few drops into the cauldron which was mainly just 3 drops. He then grabbed his stick and gently stirred the potion until all the ingredients were once again combined.
[6. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of fairy dust into the cauldron, allowing its magical essence to infuse with the other ingredients.]
Adam took out the fairy dust from his inventory. It was dust but its color was blue with shining lights coming from it or shining blue?
He sprinkled the dust into the cauldron and began to stir the potion again. This time it took five minutes for all the ingredients to mix together and finally form a healing potion!
He then took out medium size vials from his inventory and poured the healing potion into them. In total, Adam made four potions, all of them having the same effects, but in total, it took 20 minutes to make the potion.
On average, making a potion takes up to 20 or 30 minutes without using magica and only using one's hands. That's right! People can use magic to make the process of making potions faster, but one requires fine control of their magic to do it, which of course Adam is able to do. However, he wanted to experience the original way instead of just using magic to do it for him, but this was the only time he was doing it manually, in the future he was going to use magic which usually takes up 2 to 5 minutes if one's control over magic is high.
Adam brought the potion up to his face and examined it carefully. The potion was just like any water except its color was red with green hearts coming from the bottom ending until reaching halfway through the vial or reaching the surface of the water.
The potion Adam used is able to heal any times of damage considering he used a dragon's blood to make it. Whether physical damage or emotional damage, it can heal all! But much deeper wounds would take some time to fully heal, the only way to instantly heal any wounds is by using a Phoenix's blood which was impossible for most creatures.
In the next 15 minutes, Adam used magic to make more healing potions, he did it four more times adding up to 20 potions into his inventory.
After packing everything up, he turned around to look behind him where his teacher was standing.
Mr. Ralph gestured with his hands towards Adam and said, "come on, we are going to meet "The goddess of life"." He turned around and started walking after he said his piece.
"...."
Adam suddenly stopped on his tracks for a moment before he continued following his teacher.
'well, this is indeed surprising.' He thought. After all, he was going to meet a goddess! How is this possible?!
'This will indeed be interesting!'
