Chapter 1234 - 1234. Wind Affinity!

"Are you really sure we should add the wandering dandelion seeds? They are part water elemental affinity." Remey was not too happy to hear that they were risking their potions creation at this point in time. 

"It will balance everything out! The reason that the wind affinity potion has a shorter shelf life is because it evaporates and condenses too much. The additional water affinity ingredient will help it from doing that. Since it is also mainly a wind affinity ingredient then it will balance and be perfect." The old master alchemist had already fought this battle with Trish who was silent in the corner watching to two repeat history. 

"Now! Add it now!" Trish saw that the potion suddenly began to heat up since it reached the perfect mana condensation period. The two had been arguing and forgotten what they were doing. They would lose the potion if they did not continue now. "Be slow and add the ingredients piece by piece. Let it adapt then add a lot." She used all of her experience to find and best wandering dandelion seeds. 

Dandelions were known for their yellow flowers but when they produce seeds they closed up and created little fuzzy white parts that carried the seeds throughout the field lands. It was an annoying spring occurrence. Yet the wandering dandelion was a particular strain of dandelion that grew on the mountains and was carried high in to the rocky terrain to grow against all odds. It was an outlier among its species. 

The old master alchemist did exactly as Trish had said. The darker green and blue potion began to become more and more green while the most subtle hint of blue to the edges. When it reached that point, Remey slammed a lid on the cauldron. She started to throw ice around the cauldron while the old master alchemist extinguished the fire. They had used this method with their skills to properly cool it and save the most potion they could. 

They had succeeded in the wind affinity potion but they had not made it sellable yet. It was not lasting long enough unless it was frozen. Then at that point, it was useless since it lost effects as soon as it melted. "Now just wait…" Remey was unsteady. They had focused on this since they came in to the guild that morning. Before she left for their trip to the ravine, she wanted results. She wanted to see this new potion shake the foundations of Genesis and everyone coming to the competitions. Only having the water elemental affinity potion was too little for her. They needed more. 

With three alchemists cooling the single cauldron, they had a much better proficiency in doing so. Something that would have normally taken a single alchemist cool in hours was done in minutes. It was the level of expertise in using the skills and the fact that there were multiple. "You know, we might want to work on group potion making techniques." Remey had not thought of this as a class option and was not thinking it might be better. Some potions required assistance anyways so having a group potion making class could only expand the possibilities. That and there was the fact that students would be working in groups within their research and classes constantly. Alchemy had already changed in to groups without them publicizing it. 

"We can do that. I have some time to build a class around that. I can use you as an example of what not to do." The old master alchemist whipped away sweat from his forehead while teasing Remey who just grunted as she flicked the cool cauldron in front of her. 

"Let's just check the potion before you two start another fight." Trish popped the lid of the cauldron off and was greeted by a soft breeze moving through the room. It seemed that the air elemental mana had already reacted to the open potion which was a good sign. There was a similar effect when they purified and adjusted the water affinity potion formula. "It looked like it has a very slow evaporation rate now. It needs cooler temperatures still but is very easily drunk. The vials should be…" She sifted through a crate and found one, "Runes carves with water and air in mind. Perfect. I would say we have the final product for a mid tier wind affinity potion. If we want a high tier we can use this technique but better herbs." 

"This is perfect. With so many people that will come from the other kingdoms and even dragons…we can make sure that we get those herbs. Who knows what the adventurers will find." Remey could laugh for hours thinking about what they might find. 

"That's good to know since I have two more theories written already." The old master alchemist had not been idle. He had proposed ideas to a class on herbs and their elemental affinity. He had been researching these things lately and now he was what could be considered an expert in them. 

"More? Already?" Trish was stunned. She didn't believe that the old master alchemist could be so amazing. It was as if he was getting younger and more energetic by the day. 

"Earth and fire affinity potions. I found ingredients and potential techniques to use with skills. I have to find them and test things but when we start the competitions I should be able to demonstrate them to a crowd. We can pick one and share it. Send everyone home with some wonder." This was the idea. Share a free lesson with those who showed up to the last day of the competition. Attract all the wonder and grow exponentially. It would shock the world to the point that they would only ever trust and regard the alchemy guild with respect.
