Chapter 15 Three Gifts

The girl looked at the extraordinary gem and then put it away.

"I'll take this gem for now and give it to you in a few days."

Pullman quickly said that he didn't mind. If it weren't for Loran Hill, he would not have been able to extract the extraordinary things from the dragon blood bat.

"You've barely passed, but don't mention my name after you get out. I'm afraid of being embarrassed."

The girl was still a little dissatisfied. This student was a little stupid.

Pullman had no choice but to agree with a wry smile, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would accomplish great things in the future and gain the recognition of the teacher in front of him.

After completing Pullman's puzzlement, Loran Hill used all five draws, but the results were pretty good, with three extraordinary potion recipes, an armor forging manual, and a weapon making manual.

After this battle, Pullman rested for two days, while Loran Hill stayed in the cabin in the maple forest, studying the formula of the extraordinary potion that the system had rewarded him with.

[Blood-Activating Potion] (Bronze): This potion can replenish blood loss, treat frostbite and cold poison, and accelerate wound healing. It is a common potion with a wide range of applications.

To prepare this potion, one needs the blood of a high-sequence creature or materials related to the demonic sequence. Previously, they hadn't had the right materials, so now they could use the blood ruby ​​as the raw material. However, the remaining two potions were currently insufficient and could not be prepared.

Loran Hill lit the fuel under the crucible, first put in some auxiliary herbs, and continued to boil it.

The biggest difficulty in making medicine lies in the adjustment of the dosage and proportion, as well as the reaction changes in each link of the process. If you are not careful, all your efforts may be wasted.

Among the raw materials, each herb is of different sizes, and the active ingredients contained in them vary greatly depending on the growing environment, picking time, storage loss, etc. Beginners often need a lot of practice to have a grasp of the selection of materials and dosage.

In fact, whether in the Second Age or now, most pharmacists are only good at making a few recipes, and they use one trick to make them forever.

Only masters can truly make a variety of potions. After all, this industry relies too much on experience. If you are not careful, you will waste precious materials. However, pharmacists must practice to grow, so talents in this industry have always been scarce.

Many of the great pharmacists in the Mercury Dynasty were witches, simply because witches had long lifespans and were more effective to train. Moreover, if the potion was related to the witch's own field, it could even have miraculous effects.

So much so that later when people mentioned witches, they would always think of a woman in black clothes and a black skirt standing next to a huge crucible stirring potion.

With the bonus of his mythical talent, Loran Hill accurately and clearly sensed every ingredient and change in the potion. After the first test, he was able to refine a potion of perfect quality the second time.

In the test tube, a charming red color ripples slightly, and a [Blood Activating Potion] is already placed in front of it.

[Blood-Activating Potion] (Perfect Bronze Level): Made with Demonic Blood Ruby as the main ingredient, the refining process is flawless and the quality is excellent, suitable for use as a teaching specimen.

After making perfect use of this blood-red gem, Loran Hill finally refined 10 potions.

This potion, commonly used in battle, is of little use to her for the time being, but Pullman will need it very much after he goes out.

However, the potion can be easily destroyed during transportation. Thinking of this, the girl walked into the kitchen, opened a cabinet below, and took out a small jar.

The mud seal was opened, and a bowl of sticky, translucent golden liquid poured out from the jar. The sunlight shining in from the window made the light golden liquid appear crystal clear and gave off a faint sweet fragrance.

This jar contains maple syrup collected by Loran Hill. The maple syrup produced by maple trees is not as sweet as sugar and honey. It tastes more pleasing to Loran Hill and is also very nutritious.

She occasionally adds it to cooking, or drinks it directly with hot water. Humans instinctively like sweetness. In her previous life, whether it was milk tea or happy water, sweetness was indispensable.

Back in the alchemy lab, Loran Hill carefully mixed the potion with maple syrup, then heated it slightly to evaporate the excess water, forming a translucent jelly. He scooped out the jelly-like substance, let it cool for a while, and then pinched it into small cubes.

There were 10 dark red transparent cubes on the white plate. In order to prevent them from sticking together, the girl sprinkled some flour on the outside and wrapped them. In the end, the ten potions turned into 10 red gummies.

Okay, you’re done!

The girl clapped her hands, put the candies into a small wooden box to prevent them from being crushed, and then took them out.

After returning to the room and taking out three more things, Loran Hill walked out of the maple forest and came to where Pullman rested.

It was almost dusk, and Pullman was stretching his arms and legs to check how his scars were healing. A few fish were roasting by the campfire, and the air was filled with fragrance.

"How's your recovery going?"

"Not bad, nothing serious."

As expected, he is a young man with a natural talent for tenacity, and he is able to withstand blows.

"Are we leaving tomorrow?"

"Well, I've thought about it."

"Well, it's time to say goodbye."

"I made a potion out of that gem from before."

Loran Hill took out the box of candies and handed it to the boy.

"If you get hurt later, you can take one out and eat it. But there are only 10 pills, so use them sparingly."

"Thank you, teacher."

The boy happily accepted it, and then Loran Hill took out a maple box from behind him.

"Finally, I'll give you three things. Although they are objects, they also represent three pieces of advice I want to give you."
