Rain with a bag slung on his back opens the front door and enters his house. As he is climbing out of his shoe, he hears his mother's voice," Glenn, are you back."
Rain," Yes, Mother." walked into the living and found his mother inside the kitchen.
Mother while cooking," When I woke up this morning, I did not find you. Where did you go?"
Rain," I went to the river for some snake scale river lily."
Mother, " After you woke up two days ago, I feel you have changed." Rain thinks about how to answer. He cannot tell her that her boy is dead and now her boy's body is occupied by him. But Glenn's mother answered the question herself," If I went through what you went through I will also change." she from the kitchen turning to him with a smile on her face.
Rain, also smiles back," You are right Mother. Now I want to become stronger so that does not happen again to me.
Rain watched Glenn's mother get busy in the Kitchen after a few minutes she brought out the food. Rain finishes the food with Glenn's mother now also his mother.
Rain thinks," I should now start concocting the potion."
" The potion is by rank only lowest 1st rank potion."
" Yes, Potion is divided into 9 ranks and only the first three ranks can be concocted in the divine continent."
"Higher rank potions need the wild and dangerous magic power present in this world to form."
" 1st rank can be concocted using ordinary kitchen items."
Rain gets up from the table with his and his mother empty and cleans themselves.
Rain hears his mother," Glenn are you going out now."
Rain, "No, Mother I am going to use the kitchen."
Rain picked up his bag from a chair in the living room went to his room and took the three other ingredients and some other basic ingredients.
With them he returned back to the kitchen, And found a clean pot and after filling it with half with water. He put on the stove and started boiling the water in the pot.
Rain watching the water boil thought thank god this world discovered an alternative to gas and oil not like in star immortal world where cooking is still done by burning wood.
This gas was developed by an alchemist and the spirit race started using it for convenience.
After the water reached the correct temperature he started putting the ingredients in the water one by one.
And waited, after half an hour he closed the stove and separated the water and the ingredients from the water. The water has already absorbed all the properties of the ingredient.
He put the water in the stove started heating it up and sealed the pot. And lower the heat to the lowest. And then he left the kitchen. He found his mother nowhere in the house. So went to his room and took another book.
Yesterday he returned the book about plants and trees to the library and borrowed another book. This book tells how to travel in the human kingdoms without the church knowing your identity as an alchemist.
After completing reading the book and map he read before, in his mind a route is forming from the village to the Freedom City. He also learns many alchemists still reside in the territory of the God of Light and Fire. And are connected with the noble lords in the human kingdoms.
The alchemists in a town or city form clubs and hold weekly to yearly meetings. Any alchemist is allowed to join and attend the meeting. The meetings are also places to exchange information and trade resources with each other. And how outsider Alchemist will know about the clubs. The club draws signs and clues around the town or city, which are noticed by the power of the soul. After deciphering the clue, one can get the location and time of the meeting.
Rain put the book down and stood up. The soul chip reminded him two hours had passed. And the potion has form. Walking into the kitchen, Rain turns off the fire and unseals the pot. And as the potion in the pot cold down.
Rain prepared some potion bottles that he bought. And waited for the potion to cool down, after 10 minutes Rain started pouring the potion from the pot and filled 4 potion bottles. After that, he cleaned the kitchen.
"Now, How do I know that the potion works?"
" I follow the instruction of the soul chip after it calculates and simulates the process."
" But he cannot tell it works, as it is an antibiotic, not a instead healing potion."
"Let's show it to Mother, she may know herself or other people how can identify the potion ability."
Rain remembers from Glenn's memory this time mother practices at the pond in the back of their home. Rain holding took one potion bottle left the rest in his room and walked outside his home and toward the back of his home.
And found his mother demolishing wooden stakes with her hand transformed into a night leopard claw. Rain figure out his mother is practicing partial transformation. After his mother broke through the Chimera realm and created her Chimera body. She can partially transform her limbs to the chimera body, she created.
Rain waited for his mother to finish. As his mother is extraordinary and even her back turns toward him, she already notices him.
Rain saw his mother stop and her hands transformed back and she turned him and spoke," Glenn did you need anything?"
Rain showed her the potion bottle," Mother, I created this potion, and I want to know if it works for the purpose I created."
Mother looks at the potion bottle filled with light green liquid, She is certain Glenn failed nobody can invent a new potion formula and create a potion in two days. But she did not want to break her son's heart," I cannot tell but you can check with old Albus or the priest."
Rain nods " Then I go and check with them." Rain turns around. Glenn's mother speaks," Glenn, do not worry if the potion fails this is only your first. A qualified potionist with a hundred tries before they can invent a new potion."
Rain, "I know mother, and bye." He understood Glenn's mother did not think he succeeded. But Rain is certain of the formula and if it fails then there is a mistake in the process of creating the potion.
Rain stood beside the road. " To who should I go first old Albus or the priest."
" I think Old Albus can certainly identify the potion as he is also a potionist but he lives outside the village some distance from the village."
" So, let's try the priest first, the priest is blessed by the god be he has a spell that can identify if my potion works."
Making his decision, Rain started walking toward the church in the center of the village. After some time Rain looks at a huge tree hollowed inside and turns into the church of God of Life and Plants.
" Let the priest be present in the church now." and started walking toward the church and entered the church as its front door was already open. He sighed in relief when he found the priest cleaning the statue of the God of Life and Plants.
The statue of the God of Life and plants portrays the god as a goddess. The priest notices him entering the church stops the cleaning and speaks," Glenn, why are you here?"
Rain walking toward him, " Priest are you able to identify potion?"
The priest thought Glenn may have obtained some unidentified potion from the slaver's camp," Yes, the goddess gave us a spell to identify items of their usage."
Rain then took out the potion from his pocket," Can you please identify this?"
Priest nods and Rain watches Priest murmur a word his hand glows in green light and then the potion bottle in his handle also starts to shine. After a few seconds, the glow disappears from both the priest's hand and the potion bottle.
Rain looks in anticipation at the priest.
The Priest starts speaking," According to the spell, the potion is used for sealing wounds so the wounds do not become infectious."
Rain sighs in relief, the Potion is successfully created, speaks," Priest I heard from my mother that a half-tree spirit can join the potionist guild after he shows that he created a new 1st rank potion formula."
Priest thinks why is Glenn asking about the Potionist guild, then it daen at him and he in shock looks at the potion bottle in Glenn's hand, " You develop the potion formula."
Rain nods happy, "Yes."
Priest, " Then come with me to Old Albus house."
Rain why did he ask me to follow Old Albus' house," why?"
Priest," You may think you have developed a new potion but the potion may have already been developed by others before you. So, we have to check with Old Albus if your formula is a new formula and it's already created by others."
Rain's happy mood turns nervous,' He did not think of this.' So, He spoke urgently," Then let's go quickly." And with the priest starts walking toward Old Albus's House.
