64 Learning apothecary (2/2)
She rubs the paper and felt the different gloss on it. It escaped her notice earlier but this book was covered completely with wax. A puzzling book indeed and made her brain work twice than usual. She decided to test the stretch limit of her language & words blessing.
What she need right now was, to take out all the words from the book and filter it in its own respective group: the inky words and the hidden words.
She tried a lot of times, saying different command each time but to no avail. It was then she grew tired and angry that she slap the page on the book.
”Can't this words just, appear! I mean I want it to appear like a hologram-” it was then the whole book glow and then words by words flew out from the pages she touched and circle around her. She gasps as she saw that and the words zapped right in between of her eyebrows.
”Holy sh*t!” She fell backward as she felt a biting pinch on her forehead. What's more, it seems whatever knowledge that was hidden inside the book and all of it was currently sifting within her mind, blending in with her memories and present knowledge.
”Amazing! This is really awesome! I didn't know I can do that!” The whole book then disintegrate into nothingness and She knew then the trick behind reading the book. There are two ways of reading the books. Read it in normal way or literally take all the words into your head. Its like a house with two doors. One, is in front and one at the back. Though,gaining wisdom from the what she did is more beneficial than simply readingit.
Iiana tapped her head and grinned. She began preparing all things by purchasing few stuffs from the online shop and start her 'apothecary cultivation' in peace.

She laid down on the moss carpet, breathing hard and sweating like a pig. She never knew making medicines was harder than running through a marathon. She manage to cultivate ten pills only, each only bear two pills per successful medicine refinement. It had a jade like colour that made her doubtful about her medicine skill making. Since from her former knowledge and experience, it should be brown or golden colour. It cannot be failed products, since if it fail, the ingredients from the cauldron would blow over your face. Just like how it had happened couple of time on her.
The first time was hard. Just when she tried to cleanse the ingredient and combine them, the whole thing explode right on her face, farting a black smoke on her whole body. The only good thing that came out from it was that,the snake cough black sooth and decided to slithered fifteen inches away from her. Ha!
The bad part about that was... yeah, she became human charcoal over and over again. She sigh.
”How long was it? About five hours maybe?” She look at the snake for a confirmation. Again the snake ignore her. That starting to irritate her.
”I don't know what your problem is, but you choose me as your master. If you don't like it, I guess you can find yourself a new master” She huffed, sat up and left the snake behind. It was cute when it was just an armband but not in that form.
