Chapter 102: Anesthetic Potion
"Is this big iron pot used for concocting potions?" Vivian circled the alchemy furnace, looking at Charlotte with doubt.
"Yes, from now on, this will be my exclusive alchemy furnace, and I'll give you the new pot." Charlotte moved the alchemy furnace to a corner and covered it with a piece of cloth.
If it wasn't too ostentatious, he would have wanted to move this alchemy furnace to the Harriman Manor.
The Potion God wouldn't feel heartbroken for losing such a furnace, but if he lost it, he would truly cry.
"Let's go, let's head back." Charlotte grabbed the money bag and the iron pot, and with Vivian, he returned to the Harriman Manor where a fox guard was waiting with a carriage at the entrance.
On the way back, Charlotte asked the fox guard to make a detour to the grocery store and purchased some materials according to the prescription for the anesthetic potion.
"Boss, what's that? A new prescription?" Vivian looked at Charlotte who was earnestly studying a piece of parchment in surprise, curious.
"Yes, this is the prescription for an anesthetic potion," Charlotte replied without lifting his head.
Vivian exclaimed, "Anesthetic potion! If you have this prescription, why didn't you start brewing it earlier? Sister Louisa wouldn't have to suffer so much today."
That was because he received the prescription after healing Louisa. Charlotte calmly said, "I hadn't figured it out before. I bought some materials to try it out now."
The dosage provided by the system for the anesthetic potion was quite accurate. He just needed to weigh the ingredients and proceed with the concoction, eliminating the trouble of guessing the dosage.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
However, the prescription was rather vague when it came to the heating process, requiring him to practice and master it on his own. It was something to be understood through experience and not easily explained.
Upon returning to the Harriman Manor, Charlotte had a simple lunch and then locked himself in the laboratory with the pot and materials.
The anesthetic potion was a necessary item for surgical procedures, there was no doubt about that.
Just like when he extracted Louisa's wisdom tooth this morning, if he had the anesthetic potion, he could minimize her pain during the surgery and reduce the risk of being bitten.
For more complex surgeries, the necessity of anesthesia became even more prominent.
When he performed the appendectomy on Ruth in the past, if he hadn't administered analgesics and sedatives, the scene would have been unimaginable.

Charlotte used a small balance scale to weigh the medicinal ingredients and followed the prescription strictly. He lit the charcoal furnace, placed the iron pot on top, and began his first attempt at brewing the anesthetic potion.
The first pot was ruined due to excessive heat!
"Based on the current observation, the efficacy of the potion is good. It belongs to a general anesthetic with a duration that should be related to the dosage. The onset of the effect is relatively short." Charlotte recorded in his diary on the side.
The anesthetic potion had been successfully brewed.
He thought of the system rewards today, which also opened up the advancement system for alchemists. Curiously, he opened his attribute panel:

...
Indeed, the alchemist advancement system had appeared. He was currently an Alchemist Apprentice with an experience value of 520.
He was curious about the significance of the alchemist level when a line of notes appeared in his sight:
[Alchemist Apprentice: A rookie alchemist who has preliminary mastery of the methods for brewing low-level potions.
The success rate of potion brewing is extremely low, the effects of the brewed potions are ordinary, and the proficiency in potion brewing is low.
There is no ability for independent research and development of potions.
As the alchemist level increases, the success rate and efficacy of the brewed potions will increase, and the ability to research and develop potions will gradually be mastered.]
Charlotte frowned, feeling that the system was mocking him, but he had no evidence to prove it.
