"Hey, fucker, why are you still standing there dumbly? Can't you see how busy we are? Choose your station and start removing the impurities of the spirit plants! You can at least do that, right? If not you might as well fuck a donkey!"
Despite the fact that the two of them didn't know each other in the slightest, the fucker... I mean, Alchemist Fuchk still didn't hesitate to throw profanity at Rezen as if that was the most natural thing in the world
"This fucker... does he not know the meaning of the word polite?" Rezen thought while the side of his lips twitched uncontrollably
He glanced at the two guards that seemingly brought him to a devil while memorizing their faces. As a petty man, Rezen will definitely have these guards pay for not having the decency to warn him
As for the two guards, they can only turn their heads on their side with a guilty look on their faces. They can't help it. The Alchemy Workshop is in great need of more alchemists. The alchemists are barely able to reach the quota and consumption of the academy
After all, the academy accepts students every three months. Even if they don't accept a lot of students at a time, there are still a huge number of them. If not for the fact that the students who showed lacking progress were expelled, the academy would be overflowing with even more students
The alchemists in the workshop always have a hard time barely keeping up with the academy's consumption and demand. If not for the generous compensation, many of them would have already quit
As Rezen roughly grasped the attitude of Alchemist Fuchk, he didn't say anything and chose one of the vacant stations
The alchemy workshop has a long rectangular table divided into multiple stations. Each station has the necessary tools and ingredients for potion making including cauldrons and spirit plants
There were also Spirit Rejuvenating Potions which surprised Rezen. Although this potion is not necessarily that rare, it was still a surprise that the alchemists here were given these potions
"Are they generous or do they just want the alchemists to continue working no matter how tired they are?" Rezen thought, not moved by these potions at all. After all, just how many spirit plants he has?
Even if one spirit plant is inferior to a potion, what if there are ten, hundreds, or even thousands of them?
Rezen sat down on a stool and did as he was told. He grabbed the ever so familiar vismian grass, a spirit plant that is widely used for mana-recovery potions
With a flick of his hand, invisible threads of soul power appeared and broke the spirit plant into smaller pieces However, he wasn't exactly destroying this spirit plant to turn it into waste. What he was doing instead was removing the impurities contained in them so that only the pure essence would be left
His new physique mainly gives him the ability to resist poison and also enable him to consume spirit plants at a higher level than himself but overall, it also greatly improved his talent in various fields
"M-me?" Rezen asked while blinking his eyes rapidly. What did he to do this fucker... alchemist?
"Is there any other new fucker here?" Fuchk asked back sarcastically and Rezen grumbled internally before he stood up from his stool to unwillingly approach the alchemist
"Get out!" Fuchk said to the alchemist working at his side. His loud voice causes the alchemist to fail in the last step and the cauldron explodes. He failed in concocting the potion he was making
"Fuck, you waste another batch of ingredients!" Fuchk said angrily and the poor alchemist could only hurriedly apologize before moving away
"Sit down and distill these spirit plants!" He said as he waved his hand and threw pieces of roots at Rezen
"Spiritual Roots?" Rezen muttered as he looked at the roots that he caught. These spiritual roots are one of the spirit plants that can be used to create the Spirit Rejuvenating Potion
In the realm of alchemy, formulas are not absolute. The most important thing after all was the essence as it dictates what the potion's effect would be
If the essence has the ability to replenish soul power then it can create potions related to that. How is it possible for such an essence to be able to turn stone into gold?
As such, there are many spirit plants that can be used to create potions with similar effects. Of course, there would be common and more popular ingredients since even if two spirit plants have the essence of soul power replenishment, there are bound to be differences
"Fail the distillation or give me one with a purity lower than 60% and your face will have the word fucker on it" the alchemist threatened and Rezen had the urge to raise his middle finger
Are all spirit plants the same? While 60% purity is the common potion on the market when it comes to mana recovery potions, 60% is already at the medium level if it's a Spirit Rejuvenating Potion!
Different Spirit Plants have different levels of difficulty when it comes to distillation! All alchemists knew this yet this Fuchk actually wants Rezen to distill such a spirit plant to 60% purity?
Although this is not impossible but it was hard even for the current Rezen! He has to focus on the process 100% and even the smallest mistake can vastly increase the essence's impurities!
This is no doubt challenging!
However, looking at this fucker that was warning him not to complain with his eyes, Rezen can only swallow the words he wants to say and with a defeated look on his face, started the distillation process
