Chapter 1515 Apothecary

[Analyzation complete]

[Lady's Mantle - Tier 3 medicinal plant]

With the activation of the skill, came the realization that it was an apothecary skill he had mastered in the past, and he instinctively knew he had another skill besides it that he often used. But for this next skill, he knew he needed to buy some of these plants first.

Turning to the staff, Emery quickly said, "I'll take a dozen of the Tier 1 plants and a dozen more of Tier 2."

Emery randomly chose the plants and asked for them to be placed on the table together, and he started to touch and feel the plants for a deeper connection with them.

The staff looked confused, but he still patiently waited. A few minutes later, both of them saw how the plants started to break down into multiple forms of liquid and with it, another notification came to Emery's mind.

[Fragmentation completed]

[Three essences found]

"Success!!" Emery exclaims with a smile.

[Analyze] and [Fragmentation], The two were Emery's basic Apothecary skills, and he was extremely glad that he now had remembered how to use them.

His memories of the apothecary started coming back to him like a flowing river, the various kinds of related knowledge and a few recipes he had created using those two skills. But as he was perusing through the sea of ​​knowledge, he fell into a trance when he suddenly caught a glimpse of another skill â€" a Divine skill taught by a grandmaster.

Although he immediately tried to take another try, he found himself unable to do so. Looks like it won't come back easily to him. He would most likely need quite a bit of time to slowly relearn it.

"My apology, are you finished, sir?" asked the staff when he saw that Emery had been silent for a while.

The man's words pulled the latter out of his trance as he turned around and said, "Do you have a workshop here I can use?"

Even though Emery had a lot of things in his hands right now, he instinctively felt that the apothecary was a key to opening up many opportunities for him. For that reason, he felt compelled to take some time to regain the skill.

"We actually do, sir. Are you a registered apothecarist?"

Emery knew deep in his mind that he was actually an apothecarist, but not only did he not remember the details of his apothecary identification, he probably shouldn't let that be known to them either.

So in the end, he said, "No, I'm just starting and interested in learning the craft."

After nodding in understanding, the staff politely gave Emery a small tour of the place where he was shown the private workshops only available to registered apothecarists. As for people like him who had just started learning and didn't have the official qualifications, he suggested buying basic equipment and learning the basics first by joining the Apothecary Institute on the nearby planet.

"My apology sir, but we don't have anyone to teach apothecary skills here."

Hearing about that, and after taking a look around the facility, Emery realized there was something amiss about the Apothecary Center. Even though the dome garden that housed the plethora of plants looked massive, in reality, it actually didn't even take up half of the facility.

Emery then realized that apart from the staff tending the garden, the others seen here we're going in and out of what appeared to be a restricted area. Hence he couldn't help but inquire about the place.

Nodding his head, the staff said, "You're right, esteemed magus. That area is off-limits because it is a laboratory where our experts study the bloodlines. Only those authorized by the Apex faction may enter."

The mention of the Apex faction caused Emery to slightly raise his eyebrows. He had heard of the faction before, more specifically when it was mentioned by the Silvermane King during the festival.

It was them who were recognized and acclaimed for having made a breakthrough in bloodline research.

Upon realizing that, Emery's interest was piqued to the max and he couldn't help but ask another question about the faction, wanting to know more.

But unfortunately, the staff apologized that he couldn't say much other than the fact that Apex was the main contributor in creating most of the elixirs available in this Apothecary Center and Silvermane City.

"Alright then, I understand. Can I see some of those elixirs?"

"Certainly, sir." The man answered while handing Emery an electronic tablet.

[Legendary Bloodline Elixir - 100,000 spirit stones]

[Legendary Wolf Blood Elixir - 1,000,000 spirit stones]

[Mythical Bloodline Elixir - 1,000,000 spirit stones]

[Mythical Wolf Blood Elixir - 5,000,000 spirit stones]

Not only did they have the Legendary and Mythical variant of the common bloodline elixir that aided in bloodline breakthroughs, but there were also other things that interested Emery.

[Wolf Battle Booster - 50,000 spirit stones]

[Alpha Booster - 500,000 spirit stones]

The first was the booster potion that would grant a temporary boost of immense battle power to a wolf half-blood upon consumption. The second item, however, was much more interesting.

From the description on the item, Emery was pretty sure that the so-called Alpha Booster was the same potion he saw the Corvin foreman drink to enable him to control the wolf half-blood miners. A booster that helps control the lesser bloodlines of wolves.

This potion could mean that the Apex faction was the one responsible for making the slavery of the Wolf bloodline thrive on the Silvermane Planet.

Coupled with the fact that as bloodline experts they might be able to help his bloodline break through to the next rank, and maybe even help resolve Silva's Bloodline mutation situation, the faction now became Emery's number one priority.

In the end, Emery went and spent a little over 100,000 spirit stones on a decent set of apothecary equipment and dozens of herbs, which was enough to get him to start re-learning his talent. He also decided to buy the two boosters, spending another 600,000 spirit stones.

Even though it was highly unlikely he could reverse engineer the two potions, he bought them anyway because he wanted to know more about them. What's more, if that was indeed too much for him, Emery still had the famous Bob of the Ouroboros to help him with this matter.

After finishing checking the Apothecary Center, before starting to get busy with his potions, Emery headed straight for the Red Pagoda to visit his dependable informant and ask more about the Apex faction.
