Chapter 16 - Potion Making 101



Yuki pulled up the stool that was in the room and sat down. She took out the slip of paper that President Chen had given her and began reading it over. "So the first things I need are 1 Lavender, 1 Chamomile, and 20 milliliters of water. Grind the two herbs into a paste and then boil. Once boiled, drop a drop of blood and three slivers of bone 1 centimeter long. Bring to a boil again and let dissolve. Stir frequently. After that, a pinch of wild yam root. Continue boiling until the contents turn a solid red."

"Seems simple enough..." Yuki quickly went to work. She shredded herbs first, then ground them into a paste by adding a little water to them. Once those were on the fire, she went to work on the slivers of bone and grinding some wild yam root. In about thirty minutes, she had her first batch of potions. "So this makes 10 small vials..." Yuki inspected her creation.

[Small Low Quality Potion]

[Rarity: common]

[Instantly heals 30 Health]

[Can be mass produced through trade skill window.]

"Not very good… Probably get a few copper for it. At least it can be mass produced now. But I wonder…. What if I changed up the recipe a bit?" Yuki's eyes glowed with excitement for two reasons. One was that once you make something properly, it is able to be mass produced, and second, she loved experimenting. She went right to work and started trying out different combinations. After almost two hours of testing, she was only able to make a potion that was able to heal five extra points. "Hmm… what am I forgetting?"

Yuki went over to the storage chest and looked at her items. "Hmm? Basil and blue grass… I have no idea what blue grass does, and it is common grass that is all over the place. There was a bunch of it growing outside the trade skill guild. I wonder if people think it's useless?"

Yuki took out both the basil and the blue grass and placed them on the table. She inspected it for a little bit and was about to put it down when she felt there was nothing special about it when she realized something from the batch lying on the table. "Why do these seem to have a slight glow to it..."

She picked up one of the blades of grass but realized that as soon as she picked it up, the glow disappeared. She went to put it back down, but when she did, she saw the blade in hand began glowing brighter again. She moved it to the left and the glow dimmed. She went right and hovered over the basil, and the blue grass began to glow brighter than it ever had! "I see! Now, what if I do this..."

Now wasting any time, she quickly hovered the blue grass over different herbs. But it only reacted to the basil. Taking the recipe she had for the small low quality health potion, she decided to find out what would happen if she added a blade of blue grass as well as a tiny bit of basil. She began to work grounding all the herbs together and adding a bit of water. When the water hit the ground herbs, it glowed brightly, causing the paste she made to glow along with it. Smiling, knowing that she was onto something, Yuki quickly went to work boiling the herbs. The water glowed as it bubbled up. But the most surprising thing was still to come. When she added the blood and bone slivers, the pot shined brighter than ever before. She let it all boil once more and dissolve before adding the wild yam root. As she did, the whole concoction turned a deep red! It was much more vibrant than the other potions. Seeing how it was done. Yuki quickly began bottling them up.

As soon as the first one was bottled, a notification appeared on her screen.

[New Potion Discovered: Please enter a name….]

[Rarity: Uncommon]

[Instantly heals 50 Health, then 50 health over 20 seconds.]

[Can be mass produced through trade skill window.]

"What really!?" Yuki's lips curled up into a big smile. "A name, huh? Then let's see, since this is a game about cultivation, why not name it Heavenly Health Potion?"

[Small LQ (Low Quality) Heavenly Health Potion]

[Rarity: Uncommon]

[Instantly heals 50 Health, then 50 health over 20 seconds.]

[Can be mass produced through trade skill window.]

Yuki's eyes almost fell out of her head! "That is all of my health! So it heals half of my health right away, then 2.5 health every second for 20 seconds. That is kinda nuts. But… If I were to mass produce these and sell them, I think I can finally cover my rent! Let's see how many I can make!"

Yuki quickly stored all her materials into her storage chest and then opened her trade skill window. She clicked on the recipe for her LQ Heavenly Health Potion and saw the craft button next to it lit up to process over 100 of them! "So 100 in total. If I sell them at 10 silver per batch of ten, meaning 1 silver per potion, that will allow me to really make some money. But wait… Marketplace allows bidding, so… I will set the min bid at 10 silver and let people fight it out from there. Hehe! Time to bring this big sister some money… err… umm... big brother..."

Yuki happily went to work. The first batch she made, she put into containers and placed them in her inventory for her own use. But this was not the only surprise she got…

*Ding!*

Level: 0 → 1/20

"Oh? I leveled up!?" Seeing her level rise really surprised Yuki, but she felt this was only fair since crafting takes a lot of time. Sadly by the time her crafting finished, she only got a quarter of the way into level 2. But she did gain 2 SP (Status Points). "Let's see, I got 2 points. For now, I will just stick them into attack power."

[Attack Power]: 13 → 15

"Now I just need to head on over to the marketplace and begin selling things. Hopefully these sell quick!" Yuki could not wait to sell them all. She would be able to earn enough to not only pay her rent but also eat well for the week as well. And if she sold a lot in the next few days…. Yuki's mind began turning. "I will farm and create these potions for an entire week and save everything. If I am able to get a few hundred saved up I can finally move out of that place!"

Yuki was jumping with joy at the thought of moving into a more secure apartment away from all the drugs and sex. "Okay I need to calm down and hurry to the market place. I still got so much play time! I can farm and make a few more batches while I am at it!"
