Chapter 16 - That's it

Morton pointed to Essusyan beside him, who was also looking back at Morgan with an eager gaze.

"Oh, it's a kid. Well... The body is clean and the heart is pure, and he is undoubtedly a good helper for my alchemy. Morgan said happily.

"I'll be in charge of adding water and firewood and controlling the heat, so you can help me add ingredients to the cauldron. After saying that, he put down the backpack behind him and took out a bunch of items from it, and Ai Suyan hurriedly looked at it curiously.

A glass bottle filled with clear snow water, a giant eight-pronged antler, a brown wood box filled with a silver powdery object, some firewood, and a large container that Morgan called a "crucible."

Coupled with a large Lou dragon leaf next to the three of them, there is no doubt that the materials are ready, and it is just a matter of making everything perfectly combined.

"Excuse me, just scoop up about half a crucible of water for me. Morgan turned to Morton and said earnestly.

Morton smiled slightly, "I wish you success, alchemist." With that, he turned and walked towards the well in the village.

"It can be seen that you guys are still very simple here. Morgan suddenly looked at Essushire with a little amusement, but his old face full of spots made Essusyan's heart tighten.

The alchemist profession can be daunting even if you don't have to be weathered...

However, Morgan only said to himself: "It's like our Liuxia Kingdom, where the brilliant treasures everywhere have attracted countless people who are hungry for profit, and the original inhabitants will never have peace. ”

Essusan looked at him curiously, and by this time Morton had already made a bucket of well water and returned to the two of them.

"Without further ado, now, we're starting to make the 'Universal Cultivation Potion'. Morgan said solemnly.

"First of all, please ask our lovely little friends to gather the firewood together, and we will start lighting the fire immediately. Ai Suyan hurriedly did so, the flame ignited, and Morgan immediately smoothly put the crucible up.

"Pour in half a pot of water and add the antlers. He continued.

Morton poured water into the pot, while Asuyan struggled to hold the huge antlers, and then threw them into the water with a "plop".

"Hehe..."Morgan looked at Essusyan with a look of surprise on his face, "This antler weighs about ten pounds, and picking him up will help you exercise your arm strength." ”

Ai Suyan was silent, and the three of them sat on the ground, and before they knew it, time was passing quietly. After a while, the well water began to boil, and at the same time, the antlers in the pot actually began to shrink gradually, and after discovering this, both Essyan and Morton's faces were slightly surprised.

"Tenju antlers... Belch... It is rumored that the soup made from it can cure leprosy completely, but in the Kingdom of Ilil, according to the laws of the elven kingdom, hunters seem to be able to catch only ten adult male deer per year, and then collect their antlers, and most of them are two-pronged or four-pronged, and the rare eight-pronged antlers are often auctioned at high prices. Last fall, I missed the "Elf Auction" in Issu City, so I had to take the risk to cross the border to hunt the stag, but, God forbid me, that time, I succeeded. ”

His voice had just fallen. The liquid in the cauldron gradually turned orange-yellow, and then bubbled outward, and at the same time, a fishy smell reached everyone's mouths and noses.

"The Tianshou antlers have taken effect, and now, add pearl mussel powder and simmer for a quarter of an hour on high heat. Morgan instructed the two.

With the addition of pearl mussel powder, the color of the liquid began to change subtly, and Morgan seemed quite proud: "Last summer, I risked my life to infiltrate the Silverwing Kingdom, steal a silver river mussel from the bottom of the Pearl River and grind its shell into powder, for which I was seriously injured, and then went home to rest for nearly a month before barely recovering. ”

"As I expected, the semi-finished products of the potion will soon appear. He said indifferently.

After a quarter of an hour, the color of the liquid in the water gradually turned silvery white, and at first glance, it looked like pure mercury had been poured into the pot, and Morgan then said to Asuyan, "Please add another twenty dragon leaves to the pot." ”

"Twenty pieces? Ai Suyan reached into the pile of dragon leaves with his immature palm, then meticulously counted out twenty of them, and sprinkled them all into the already boiling silver liquid in the pot.

The edges of the dragon leaves are jagged, like the fangs of the roaring dragon in the legend of the same continent, at first they just float on the surface of the liquid, but after a while, they sink to the bottom of the water, and the original silver-gray liquid begins to turn green.

"When the potion is completely green, we can pour the 'Ice Tooth Snow Water' into the pot. Morgan frowned slightly, his eyes staring intently at the reaction in the pot, but he still did not forget to remind the two beside him.

Before you know it, the herb has completely changed color, and green bubbles are surging above the surface of the water one after another, like a small patch of seawater about to rise at high tide, and the fine silver powder is visible to the naked eye swimming on the surface of the water, which brings the whole pot of potion from the inside out. Morgan said: "Without further ado, splash in the snow!"

Ai Suyan quickly opened the cap of the bottle on the side, and then poured the entire bottle of "Ice Tooth Snow Water" into it in one go.

"Everyone stand back at once, and then please listen to my instructions!" Morgan snapped.

Essusyan was startled, but reason still caused him to pop back as if reflexively, as his eyes widened with beautiful blue pupils.

At the moment when the ice tooth snow water splashed in just now, the crucible seemed to burst open, and at the same time, the green potion in the pot was mixed with silver-gray powder, tumbling violently to an unimaginable degree, and bursts of green smoke rose into the sky and made a terrifying sound like a poisonous snake spitting a letter, and then the entire air above the crucible began to fill with a colorful mysterious smoke, and then spread out to the surroundings as if it were off the ground.

"Everyone, pay attention, the colored mist is poisonous, but it will disappear soon!" Morgan ordered, and everyone hurriedly continued to retreat.

After a while, Ai Suyan and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, and sure enough, as Morgan said, these colored unknown gases dissipated with the wind after circling for a week, and at the same time, the temperature of the potion dropped to the point where people no longer felt hot.

"The burst of colored mist just now is the poisonous gas that finally volatilizes after the reaction of the potion, and now, the rest of our potions are pure, if you don't believe it, I suggest you come forward and watch. ”

Essyan and Morton hurriedly stepped forward curiously, then looked inside the cauldron.

A pool of blue liquid, quietly contained in Morgan's crucible, the surface shimmered slightly, looking extremely pure, without any impurities, looking closely, as if seeing the tide rise and fall and return to the calm sea.

Ai Suyan sniffed the potion carefully.

"It's actually tasteless, it's amazing!" he said excitedly, and Morgan quickly explained: "This is because the pure ice tooth snow water suddenly cools down the originally boiling potion, and thus volatilizes all the toxic and unpleasant ingredients, and the final precipitated essence is the legendary 'universal cultivation potion' that I once introduced." ”

Then he took out a number of small glass bottles in the admiring gaze of everyone, and then picked up the handle of the crucible with his right hand, and began to slowly pour the potion into the glass bottle in his left hand.

At this moment, the sunset at the head of Longye Village has quietly fallen, and the clear sky is covered with golden satin, and the eyes of everyone looking up also flashed with moving brilliance.

"God forbid, we have achieved the goal of this mission perfectly. Morgan gradually filled all the potions into the bottle, and said comfortably.

He took four of the potions, and stuffed two bottles into each of Morton's hands, but his slightly vicissitudes of life revealed an inexplicable trust, and Morton and the two nodded, and then Morgan explained something to the two with gratitude on his face.

"After leaving here, I will return to the 'Yunmu Academy' in Calais in the Kingdom of Liuxia on foot, and I sincerely hope that one day, you will come and visit me. ”

As if remembering something for a moment, Ai Suyan suddenly looked at him, and then asked reluctantly, "What Mr. said is the alchemist training base in the backyard where a hundred-foot-tall 'Yunye Tree' is planted." ”

Morgan said in surprise: "I can't imagine that you, who seem to be so young, have already learned so many things on the Denario continent. ”

"That's right. He then said: "That tall Ye tree with leaves like flowing fire, it is indeed the symbol of our academy, the 'Wood of Clouds', the elders of the academy said that in addition to being knowledgeable, alchemists also need to be like light and fire, and know people and things, so they need to be experienced, and they can't stay in the house forever. ”

"Ten years ago, I violated the ban of the academy and climbed on the top of the cloud tree without permission, but unexpectedly I stumbled and slipped down, but fortunately, a passing mage repaired my wounds, which also became the regret of my life. ”

"As a side note, the Wandering Glows Kingdom is a great place to be, if you want to learn about the anecdotes of the various customs in the world of Denario, or if you want to find mysterious treasures and get rich overnight, or even go astray in pursuit of powerful magic, then the treasures are everywhere, and the strange Wanderlust Kingdom is a great place to go. ”

"You only need to cross the Crystal Plains in the south of the Land of Plenty, cross the world-famous 'Imperial Fortress Chain', walk through the dark 'Dream Gray Valley', and finally experience the baptism of the 'Prophet Mountains'. ”

"I'm leaving, we'll see you again. After Morgan said this, he disappeared without looking back at the end of the road under the beautiful sunset.
