Chapter 1062: Gaining Experience
"...Now that you've combined the essences you've extracted according to the ratio I've given you, it's time for us to move on to the final step." Looking over at Valyr's cauldron, Mystia nodded in satisfaction as she proceeded to infuse mana into her cauldron one last time.
Whoosh!
Watching Mystia from the other table, Valyr watched as she infused the mana into a part of the cauldron they hadn't touched all this time, causing his eyes to slightly widen in surprise once he noticed the water in the cauldron reducing on its own.
By the time only the combined essence was the only thing that remained inside the cauldron, Mystia had already grabbed a few empty vials, utilizing a bit of mana to coax the essence to enter the vials themselves.
Making sure to scoop up every bit of essence that was in the cauldron, Mystia nodded in satisfaction once more after noticing that her yield of Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potions were considerably higher than usual.
Putting a stopper on all of them, it was only then did she explain what Valyr needed to do. "As you can see, all you need to do now is to remove the water from the cauldron, then scoop up the combined essence using the vials."
"Preferably, it would be better if you use a bit of energy into scooping up the vials to reduce the mess and retain the efficacy of the essence, but it's all up to you."
"Got it." Nodding in response to her words, Valyr took in a deep breath as he went over the things Mystia had shown him just now.
Closing his eyes for a bit to make sure he didn't miss a single thing, the young man soon let out a drawn-out exhale as he released a bit of Prime Azure Energy out of his fingertips.
Converting the energy into the mana, he then proceeded to infuse it at the area Mystia targeted, causing the water in his cauldron to gradually reduce on his own.
Keeping an eye on the cauldron, he then grabbed some of the empty vials from the table, bringing them closer to him before going ahead and scooping some of the essence up. Swoosh!
Not knowing how exactly Mystia scooped up the essence into the vials with her energy, the young man was forced to experiment for a bit on his first attempt, only to end up dissolving the essence he'd scooped up because of it.
Hearing Mystia reply to his words that he still did pretty good for someone without any background in alchemy, the young man merely smiled in response, thanking her as he identified one of the vials he'd just concocted.
Ding!
[Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potion] (Item)
Rarity: Common
A vial filled with fluid that contains the power to heal wounds. Made by a novice to the world
of alchemy, though has experience from other fields to rely on.
Once consumed, this vial restores 10% of the user's max HP.
'Hmm.' Briefly reading through the description of the item, Valyr eventually nodded in satisfaction as he compared his potion to the other health potions he'd bought in the past. Surprisingly, although the young man considered his attempt at concocting the potion as a fluke, its effects were still slightly above average, considering that an average health potion at the same tier healed about 8% of one's max HP.
"So, what do you think of your first attempt?" Feeling that she'd given Valyr enough time to ponder over things, Mystia caught his attention by asking him a question.
"Feels like I could do a few things better now that I have the experience," said the young man as he closed the screen in front of him.
Bitterly smiling at Mystia, he continued, "I really feel like I just lucked out of my way with this one."
"Is that so?" Mystia slightly smiled in amusement. "Frankly, I feel like you have a natural affinity for it. You just need more experience, that's all."
"That's probably the experience I've accumulated from blacksmithing kicking in." Valyr let out a chuckle in response. "But yeah. I think I could do better once I get another shot at it." "Fortunately for you, I have enough ingredients to last you even if you attempted it a hundred times in a row," replied Mystia, causing the two of them to let out a bit of laughter after that. And thus, after a brief conversation over what Valyr could improve during the concoction process, it did not take long for the two to delve into concocting a health potion once more.
