Master Of None

Freew(e)b

Remey was moving with a lot more speed than before. She was sure that a lot of the newer herbs coming in and changed. Especially with the facts that the world had denser manas than before. The natural flow had changed the properties of many herbs known to be weak or needed many to create a potential potion. The purifying effects of some herbs had even improved so much that they could be used to purify water just by having them dropped within a bowl of poisoned water. Not necessarily intentionally poisoned, but with rotten aspects of nature or from a place that should not be drunk from. This had been found by an herbalist that was working with fertilizer for some mushrooms. The fertilizer had come from a farm and was leaking water from the bags. The water had pooled in a large puddle under the cart and would have been an issue to clean up. While toxic and not good for many other things than helping mushrooms grow which would be used for other herbal or alchemy reasons, the water was not easy to clean up and move. So, she had realized that it needed to be buried. Yet, one nearby herb had just shed some leaves, the leaves had moved around due to the winds of the day. When the herbalist saw this she had moved to clean them up but noticed that the puddle of water was slowly changing from brown to clean. Something that she had only seen with stronger purifying potions. The herbs had released the oils naturally causing the toxic aspects of the water to fall to the bottom and the clean water to be on top. This had prompted her to rush to the plant and grab a fresh set of leaves. After that, they were brought to the alchemy guild where an entire class began examining them. The appraisals had decided that the green lemon thyme leaves had not been just changed by the manas in their environment. Isnetad, theta had grown much better than what they had been. They had often been used for cooking due to their unique flavor and their very weak purifying aspects on meat or food when cooked. Therefore, the alchemy guild had gladly pushed for them to become something within the herb fields for basic sale. It would make a decent profit while also smelling nice. The lemon scent that they had was earthy and herbal. Many candle makers would purchase it for the household claiming that the smoke also allowed for a light purifying scent. While that was mostly just something said to boost sales, now it might actually make sense. The herb had been evaluated to have become able to use light and earth manas to help cause a purifying effect within water along with the oils specifically. Remey had heard of this herb along with several other herbs that had these sorts of effects. But when walker had caused the quest to generate, she had thought about how many people felt calmer when they smelled the green lemon thyme. She had the idea that the calming effect was not because of the scent and their mentality. Instead, it had to do with the manas within a person being relaxed and made to flow a little more smoothly. When she mentioned this to Walker, he began appraising everything with the all around appraisal skill. His fingers moved to one leaf of the green lemon thyme and used a small spark of fire mana to burn it. The smell that drifted up easily made him calmer while also making the air in the herb storage feel less dense with humidity due to the temperature outside being a little warmer.

As he tested this, he pulled out one of the weeds from before with chaotic mana within. It was a corrupted plant but it was not serious. He had been able to easily keep it controlled even when it was in the high spatial storage. As the smoke drifted around it, the weed's leaves wilted even more than what they had been before. He could tell that there were a lot of good things about this enhanced herb, there were many aspects of what else could be done with the one herb compared to the others. While Remey had gathered them, she was not done dragging Walker around. She soon threw him back in to the alchemy lab where the old master alchemist and Midnight were waiting. The pair had been enjoying the herbs while the old master alchemist was sharing facts about them with Midnight. The two seemed to enjoy this small lesson since the old master alchemist was truly enjoying the education he had been doing in the guild for the younger apprentices. Especially since he was retired now and could focus on such things. When Walker motioned for Remey to tell him what to do, she passed him herbs and had him grind them in to paste. This was done with multiple herbs while Midnight used a small spark of dragon breath to light the flames underneath the cauldron. Remey began straining the oils and the liquids from the paste of herbs while the cauldron heated them. These tools had been made for things just like this. They made sure that the dense and rough leafage was not within the cauldron. It ensured that the liquids had a lesser chance of burning overall. When it came to the control of the flames, Remey was able to do that with just a few thoughts. Her level of understanding for fire mana,especially alchemy flames, awas growing still. Ignus might have taken time to deal with his responsibilities, but he had been sharing more and more knowledge with her that he had gathered by becoming a powered fire dominator dragon. It had just gone to show of what level the party had reached upon growing so much. Even if Walker went back to level one, he was powerful. He had the knowledge to understand what processes that Remey was going through. Soon, they had the entire room feeling lighter. The ambient light mana was not leaving the room, instead, it had spread and caused the air itself to become cleaner. Remey could sense that the room was purified by this but that the cauldron was absorbing the light mana again. The earth mana and water manas from the herbs added were actually being balanced too. There was an interesting reaction between the three mana smacking them a clearer crystal like green oil within the cauldron. When it came to this, there was a sense that the potion was getting denser and might even crystalize. When Remey noticed this, she realized that they were not making a potion of normal standing at all, they were making a crystal like fluid that was similar to dried tree sap!

The idea that a chaotic mana purification potion would be normal had been a foolish idea. Now they were witnessing what it would actually be like. Walker quickly used his mana to cool the potion crystals that had formed. They were gooey and hard to move but Remeya really did it with oil coated spoons and oil coated vials. The cut crystal like sap was easily dissolvable within water if they desired it too. This would be a random but amazing thing. It reminded them of soap, but was entirely different. It used the natural man from light to ensure that there would be a better purification than what else there was there was a lot that could be done when it came to the fact that this potion could purify many things. Walker tried to use the all around appraisal but was sure that he would prefer to see the results when the world system recognized it. Especially since he felt that they were sure to finish. 'Quest: potion making- completed

Requirement: find herbs that are needed to create the first corruption purifying potions

Reward: experience, the refined formula for the corruption cleansing potion.'

When he saw that the world had, he was overjoyed their sudden focus and work had only taken them two hours. But they had new information appearing within their mind. It was coming to fruition whether they liked it or not. An amazing amount of knowledge allowed Remey to work much more smoothly than what any other alchemist could do when it came to making new potions like this. It was years of learning and lately, experimenting. Because she had that working knowledge, she was able to produce these things much better than what others would even be able to imagine. Especially when it came to other potions that could be based on this. Without the experience of needing to make potions with similar effects out of different herbs, she would never be able to balance three manas within a potion compared to one or two. It perfectly demonstrated knowledge and precision in the way she had utilized her techniques. Walker could only be proud to have been someone to help this happen. …
