Chapter 13
Alchemists Must Learn to Eat Chapter Deductions
To prove her point, she even placed a bottle of medicine from her handbag on the table.
"Healing medicine."
Dwight looked at the pink liquid, opened the bottle, took a sniff, and felt refreshed.
"Can."
Dwight nodded in satisfaction: "The healing potion you crafted is very good. Although it's a weak potion, it's sufficient. I will provide you with the Life Leaves needed to craft the potion, and I will purchase them at the market price of one gold coin."
"Indeed, alchemy is a good profession."
A bottle of weak healing potion costs one gold coin. A handful of Life Leaves costs only a dozen or so copper coins.
One gold coin could be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin was equal to one hundred copper coins.
Therefore, one gold coin is equal to one thousand copper coins.
Gold and silver are the most commonly used precious metals by mages, while copper coins are used by ordinary people.
That's why the exchange rate is so strange.
"But do people in this world use Life Leaves to concoct healing potions?"
Lou Le felt a little strange, because she knew about the Leaf of Life.
Life Leaf is an evergreen plant with long, curved leaves. Its medicinal properties are easily extracted, and even commoners would collect Life Leaf, crush it, and apply it externally to wounds.
Some doctors even burn the leaf of life, claiming that its smoke can cure respiratory diseases.
The herbal ointment he found on the dead adventurer was crushed Life Leaf.
Dwight continued, "As for the other potions, I don't know what herbs are needed. I really can't find the herbs for you."
Lou Le frowned: "I'll go into the forest myself tomorrow to find some suitable herbs and bring them back so you can understand."
"If you're going to the Ghostwood Forest tomorrow, I have a potion recipe here, but the herbs in the recipe can't be found in the Ghostwood Forest at all. It would be great if you could try to come up with a new recipe."
As he spoke, Dwight placed a parchment scroll on the table.
Lou Le said casually, "I understand."
Dwight glanced at his apprentices, then said to one of the girls, "You'll handle things for Miss Loule."
The mage apprentices all looked at the girl with envy. If the weaver had given her even a little guidance, the girl would have been incredibly lucky!
Why not me!
The girl had an ecstatic expression, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
Lou Le had already stood up and was walking outside.
The girl quickly followed, and she carefully introduced the various workshops to Lou Le.
Lou Le chose a house across from the tavern; it was a two-story house with a garden and backyard. It looked quite nice. Lou Le said, "I'll choose this place."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The girl spoke humbly, and Lou Le gave her his last bottle of healing potion: "I'll wait here for you to bring over all the equipment needed for the alchemy lab. Consider this healing potion your reward."
The girl took it and then left.
After Lou Le entered the house, he first found a wooden board and then burned patterns of a crucible and a staff onto it.
He then drew a circle on his staff, marking himself as a first-ring mage.
After hanging it by the door, he went up to the second floor. The second floor had a bedroom and an empty room. Lou Le planned to use it as an alchemy room, while the warehouse was downstairs.
There was only a bare bed frame on the bed, so Lou Le sat on the edge of the bed and opened the roll.
The sheepskin scroll felt quite thick, and it was covered with patterns of herbs, along with the steps and methods for processing them. It was so densely packed with drawings that just looking at it gave me a headache.
Stargazing Technique! Activate!
A mist unfolded, infusing the parchment with magic, causing the writing on the scroll to emit a faint glow.
Like some kind of tadpole, they swam out from the sheepskin scroll and then plunged into the mist.
After a while, a star appeared in the mist.
Lou Le glanced at it and found that the location was very, very far from the origin.
"Tsk, how many materials would it take to make just one mana potion?"
"However, the more difficult the potion, the more advantageous it is for me. I can make it with a 100% success rate, while the alchemists here cannot."
"But you can't use the claim of 100% success to attract people, because you'll suffer losses yourself."
"If you only need to hand over six out of ten portions of herbs, you're considered a highly skilled alchemist."
She muttered to herself, then closed the scroll again; the writing on it was still there.
The principle of the star-gazing method is to obtain the principles and properties of the potion through these steps. Then, no matter what you do afterward or what materials you use, as long as you obtain the compliant medicinal properties, that's fine.
Just like the Star Gazing Method, which uses a potion with a potion potion that has a potion ...
You don't have to follow the steps on the scroll exactly, as long as your goal is correct.
After finishing these tasks, Lou Le went to check on the backyard. There was a fruit tree planted in the backyard, but it hadn't borne fruit yet.
It's well-maintained; there aren't many weeds, and the well in the corner is very well preserved. The water is drinkable; it has no bitter taste and is a sweet well.
The people at the Mage Tower were very efficient. They quickly found a large group of maids and servants, who immediately began cleaning the entire house. Some carried bedding, while others carried a crucible in groups of several.
Farin directed from behind, trying his best to impress.
Lou Le was very satisfied with this. By the time everything was completed, the place had been completely transformed.
Farin scurried up to Lou Le, bowing humbly, and said, "Sir, do you still need slaves to take care of your needs?"
Lou Le frowned: "No need."
Farin immediately panicked and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know you didn't like slaves."
Lou Le corrected him: "I just don't like slaves who have been handled by countless people."
"oh."
Farin then realized what was going on and quickly said, "Sir, there will be a slave trade fair soon, and you will find the high-class slaves you need."
"We'll see when the time comes."
Lou Le answered calmly, saying that she felt quite good on her own right now.
She glanced at Farin and said, "If I manage to concoct a magic potion, I'll give you one for free."
Farin was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, sir."
