Tomorrow morning
'This fast'
"Do you need anything else, Your Highness?"
Jenny asked
"Don't let anyone enter my room until I tell you,"
I answered her indifferently
"Heard obedience"
Jenny did what she was told. She is quick to do her work, and I love her and Ron's loyalty. It doesn't matter what I ask, they will do it, no matter the cost, perfectly, without any complaint or question.
'They will be great allies in the future'
But that's not what I should focus on now
"Look what we have here"
Jenny brought everything on the menu
"I can now make a body enhancement potion."
This is just the recipe and method for making the potion mentioned in the novel, but in reality, I am not familiar with chemistry and I have never made a potion in my life, neither the previous nor the present, and despite that I can make it. How is that? Well, let me explain.
When you talk about chemistry in Arcadia, it doesn't mean creating potions or mixing herbs that only the Awakened can do with their magical flames dancing over their hands.
It all depends on the type of herbs you use. Awakened individuals might have better control over some potent herbs and could sense the changing process of mana reactions better, but many other herbs can be substituted and used by ordinary people to avoid complications.
After all, in simple terms, chemistry is just mixing things and waiting for them to react with each other. If you know the right recipe, the measurements of the ingredients used, and the timing of everything perfectly, even a blind man can create a perfect potion.
Although any chemist in Arcadia doesn't have a solid reputation, the job pays well. The money they earn is substantial for any successful and useful potion.
Creating a body purification potion was necessary for me to become stronger faster. I took out the ingredients that I had tasked Jenny to bring from my spatial ring some were medicinal herbs, the rest were salamander venom and a blood cobra heart, and lastly, Mao herbs that can only be found in the Dryads' Forest, used to dull anyone's senses.
I started with the ordinary herbs known for their soothing properties and others for their healing abilities. I ground them all together and added the salamander venom, then added them to a vessel filled with dense mana-infused water. While stirring constantly, I added the blood cobra heart, and after it dissolved, I finally added the Mao herbs. After a few minutes, the potion began to bubble and steam, filling the room with an intoxicating scent. I continued stirring, taking care not to let the potion boil over a low flame. I controlled the temperature using a control panel (not as perfectly as some Awakened might, but fairly accurately).
The potion started to bubble and glow; I watched it keenly. This was the critical moment - one mistake would ruin the potion. But I was cautious, and soon the liquid in the flask turned a bright golden color.
"Good, I succeeded in making three doses, at least."
I left the lab and headed to my room, followed by Ron and Jenny. I stopped before entering.
"Don't let anyone enter my room for an hour."
Jenny and Ron nodded, and I went into the room and immediately drank the potion.
I waited a bit for it to take effect, and after a few seconds, I felt a warm sensation spreading throughout my body.
It felt warm, like a gentle wave engulfing me.
The sensation started in my chest, spreading all over my body, my heart started pounding wildly, and my mind became clear. I felt a sense of peace.
Soon the warm feeling spread throughout my entire body. It was as if my insides had been cleansed of all impurities, making me feel lighter and more refreshed than I had in years.
With each passing moment, I felt more energized, as if a new source of vitality had opened up inside me. My muscles grew stronger, my instincts sharper, and my senses heightened.
I opened my eyes, and the world around me looked different and more vibrant. Colors seemed brighter, sounds clearer, and scents more vivid. The world around me took on a new, almost magical quality, and I felt more connected to everything around me.
"Not bad."
The potion had purified my body, mind, and spirit, leaving me feeling renewed.
"Mana, huh."
I could now feel mana and see it even though I wasn't like the Awakened, my body was now completely pure. I might not be able to absorb or store mana, but I could feel the mana in the air. The body purification potion didn't make me superhuman or break the limits of my talent, but it laid a good foundation, which was enough since this was just the beginning.
I have many other opportunities waiting for me. Six years until the plot begins, I still have a lot of cheat items waiting for me, although some won't appear until certain events occur, there are still enough things to take.
Boom!!
I heard the sound of a strong punch outside the room.
"What the hell is going on?"
