Chapter 366: Potion Brewing (2/2)
”Really?” Lawrend asked him skeptically.
It would be a huge disaster if he was wrong. This was an inn, and he would have to pay for the damages.
”Trust me, Young Master. I know what I'm doing,” Nao replied.
Lawrend felt like he had heard this phrase before. This was when a scammer would try to gain his trust in his past life.
”Okay. Do your best,” Lawrend replied.
He gave up and hoped for the best.
Nao started setting up the Potion Brewing Tools in the room.
He placed the huge round glass flask on a stand and several other apparatus. Then he started tinkering with them one by one.
He took one portion of the potion materials and separated them out into their individual materials. In total, there were seven materials.
Nao entered the bathroom and filled the glass flask with pure, clean water. After that, he returned and placed it on the stand.
He then lighted up the flame under the stand, which heated the water.
Nao grabbed the bundle of medicinal plant leaves and placed it in a mortar and pestle. He ground it up while he waited for the water to boil.
A dozen minutes later, the water started boiling, and Nao placed the ground leaves inside the flask. The water inside the flask immediately turned green as the leaves dissolved in it.
The next material/ingredient was a red-colored flower.
Nao plucked the petals and placed them inside the flask one by one. A few minutes later, the color of the water in the flask turned pink.
He continued mixing the ingredients together in the glass flask until the color of the liquid inside turned a transparent red color.
He turned off the flame and waited for it to cool.
”Is it done?” Lawrend asked.
He watched the whole thing, and so far, it looked like chemistry. Could it be that potion brewers are just chemists?
”Not yet,” Nao replied.
Nao's hand suddenly started glowing a dark blue color, and he grabbed the round glass flask with his hand.
Using the power of the mana flowing in his hand, Nao changed the structure of the liquid.
The color suddenly changed to a deep magenta color, and the sweet and fragrant smell of the Healing Potion wafted into the air.
The process was something Lawrend couldn't understand.
Just as he was wondering what was happening, the liquid in the flask started boiling and released a lot of vapor into the air.
”What's going on??” Lawrend asked Nao worriedly.
”I'm reducing the potion. At this amount, there's too much water which would hurt the potion's efficacy,” Nao explained.
”And… Done,” Nao said.
He raised the flask and gave it to Lawrend.
Lawrend grabbed the flask and swished the liquid inside. It was a blood-red color and looked beautiful when the light from the window reflected inside it.
”Here, Young Master,” Nao said, and a passed a small potion bottle to him.
Lawrend took it and poured the potion inside. It was the perfect amount, and he covered the opening with a cork.
”I'm impressed,” Lawrend said.
