My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!-Chapter 252 252:
Rezen retrieved the pot he use when making potions and he filled half of it with water
He laid his ingredients on the table where he placed the pot and to not waste the precious ingredients, only a single portion was left on the table
The chances of Rezen succeeding in creating his potions are still low. If he was unlucky, he has to try several or even ten times to create one potion. And even if he is lucky, it would still take him a few tries
It was not uncommon for explosions to occur whenever the creation of a potion failed
If explosions occurred then that would ruin the ingredients laid on the table. Although Rezen has more than enough ingredients for his personal usage, it is still not good to waste them in that way
After adjusting his mental state, Rezen placed his palm above the pot. Using simple magic, he boiled the water on the top
The water soon bubbled and steam rose. With the aid of magic, it didn't last long before the water reached the boiling point
Doing this would burn at least a small portion of the water's impurities
After boiling the water, the supplementary ingredients floated in the air
Alchemists generally are Spirit Mages and that is because in many cases, a strong soul is needed. Between Body Mages and Spirit Mages, the latter generally has the stronger and more refined soul
On the tips of Rezen's fingers, invisible threads of his soul power came out and the threads wrapped the supplementary ingredients for the mana elixir
Soon, the ingredients were broken down at a speed visible to the eyes until only droplets of the ingredients' essences remained
These drops of essences although not a hundred percent pure are still very pure considering that the ingredients that Rezen has at the very least have 90% purity
Using these kinds of Spirit Plants, even the most untalented alchemists when they succeed would be able to create potions with over 90% purity
Now that Rezen has reached the Junior Rank, even the way he concocts potions has changed
In the past, he would simply place the ingredients on the pot and try to tear them as small as possible. But now that he is a Junior Mage and his soul is strong enough, he could easily extract the essences of the ingredients using his soul power
Of course, this is only possible when using ingredients of this caliber. If Rezen were to be asked to extract the essence of a Spirit Plant at the 4th cycle, even if he used all of his soul power, he still wouldn't succeed
Rezen is already familiar with this initial step and he dropped the droplets into the pot before stirring the water with magic
The water in the pot soon changes its color into gray but this is still far from being the mana elixir ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
After taking care of the supplementary ingredients which was the easy part, Rezen turned his attention to the main ingredients. The first one is the vismian grass followed by the leaves of the Hedil Plant
With a wave of Rezen's hand, a blade of vismian grass floated in the air before being covered by his soul power threads
The difficulty of only extracting the essence of the Vismian Grass is much harder compared to extracting the essences of the supplementary ingredients
Rezen gave all of his focus to that single blade of vismian grass but it really was not easy
In the end, instead of extracting the essence, the vismian grass broke down and its essence turned into fog that wafted in the air before vanishing
It was a failure on Rezen's part but he is no stranger to failure when it comes to alchemy. Without thinking about it that much, Rezen used another vismian grass followed by another. Finally, on his third try, Rezen succeeded and he let the drop of essence continue to float in the air before turning his attention to the other main ingredient
Rezen did the same thing to the leaves of hedil plant, and after some failure, he succeeded in time
Extracting the essence is hard but that is more so for combining them!
The two drops of essences with Rezen's control slowly met and they seems to be repelling each other. However, Rezen continues to use his soul power to combine the two
If he simply drop the two different essences on the pot, the pot would definitely explode. As such, he has to combine the two first before dropping them in the pot
However, even when Rezen was doing his best, the end result was still a failure. In the end, the two essences exploded. Fortunately, Rezen was in time. He covered the essences with a barrier to contain the explosion and prevent it from destroying anything
Even experienced and talented alchemists could fail in potion-making, what more for the newbie Rezen?
This result didn't make his heart feel heavy and Rezen just started redoing this step until he would succeed
——-
A flying ship could be seen in the sky, swimming with the clouds. This flying ship has the logo of a wand and a sword crossing each other
The exterior was painted white and not even a speck of dirt could be seen
On the deck of the ship, tens of people gathered and most of them were admiring the scenery of clouds
It was not every day that they could ride on a flying ship and reach this high of an altitude. As such, many of them can't help but admire the fantastic view
These people are either wearing magic robes, heavy armor, light armor, leather armor, or more casual-looking clothes
They are the mages from the City of Hope and they are given a mission. They are to convince the different tribes scattered in the lands to join the City of Hope
Of course, although Guardian's order was to persuade and not force the tribes, these people might not listen to him although all of them respected and revered him
This is because these people are commissioned by the Elders of the Guardian Council. They have to bring as many tribal people as possible. If they have to use force, they are permitted!
The Guardian might not want to force the tribes but he could only turn a blind eye even if the tribes are forced
This matter after all involves all the Elders of the Council. At most, he could punish the mages that received the mission while scolding the Elders. If the Guardian wants to heavily punish all the Elders, even for someone like him, that is impossible
As such, in this recruitment mission, some people might bleed to death
Standing on the railings of the ship, a particular mage could be seen. He is wearing an armor that would indicate that he is most likely a Body Mage but his left arm which should be made up of flesh and blood actually looks like a translucent blue arm
This person is none other than Wermon. His battle against the Wicked Masks Beast costs him dearly
The loss of a limb could still be made up by condensing his mana into the shape of an arm
By doing so, at the very least, he would have a limb that could do what a normal arm could do
However, the hole in his chest along with the more serious injuries on the last clash with the beast was an entirely different thing. It damaged his vitality greatly to the point that he was forced to retire as a Military Mage
He was given compensation but Wermon doesn't want to become another useless retired soldier that are only mobilized when there was no other choice
He still wishes to contribute greatly to the City of Hope and after learning about the Guardian's plan, he volunteered for this mission
Many city people looked down on the members of the scattered tribes. They all think that those people are barbaric and ignorant f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
In the City of Hope, society and etiquette are developed while the scattered tribes are still the same rough people that only care about food and safety, resulting in the discrimination
However, while there are many people that despise the tribal people, there are still those that are neutral or would at least give them the respect that should normally be given to others. Wermon is one of them
The Guardian's life story is known basically to everyone in the City of Hope. In the past, there was no City of Hope. All humans lived in small to big tribes until the Guardian created the first and still only city of humans
Since the Guardian is originally a person of a tribal society yet reached where he is now, are tribal people really as useless as many believed?
Wermon doesn't think so. Even though there is a very small chance, Wermon wishes to discover another talent from the small tribes reaching the level of the Guardian
