The Witch's Wandering Alchemist's Diary

Earth Roots have a great harvest, since Earth Roots are the only ones left in the forest now.

Moreover, this place is connected to the Earth Elemental Plane, with abundant ley lines, resulting in thriving crops.

When a plant reaches maturity, it can sprout thirteen new shoots.

After an expansion, thirteen Earth Roots are now planted in the forest. Twelve more roots are harvested from each of these, making a total of one hundred and fifty-six Earth Roots.

Lou Le was very satisfied with this; he had harvested Life Leaf, Divine Berry, and Dream Beetroot.

Life Leaf and Divine Berry are both herbaceous plants that resemble small saplings. Therefore, they are mainly harvested from leaves, with a maximum of five or six leaves per plant.

If too much is collected, it may cause the animal to die.

Limela was gathering plants, while Loule was starting to refine gold.

First are the Earth Roots, in groups of four.

Throw them into the mortar and pound them, and these earth roots will make a cracking sound.

Then, after grinding and grinding, because there wasn't much moisture, it developed a texture that was half powder and half mud.

Grind one batch and then throw the rest into the crucible.

Stir, stir, stir!

The medicine began to travel, reaching the end of the route.

As the medicine was applied, the white mist surrounding it was gradually pushed away.

But there's nothing around, so let's move on to the second one!

The second process is the same: throw it into the crucible and start stirring.

However, we saw two huge asteroid belts, and the route happened to pass right next to them.

Lou Le glanced at it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Flush it."

Even if we fail, it's just that we've lost two groups of Earth Roots.

Stirring and shaking, the medicine bottle indeed lost half of its contents when it passed through the meteorite belt.

Fortunately, I came out again, and the potion bottle was full again.

However, there were still no medicine stars to be seen around, so Lou Le once again invested in a set of ground earth roots.

When I was halfway through stirring, I saw some medicine stars!

it is good!

Quickly shake it over and then heat it up.

With a bang, the crucible exploded, and a small mushroom cloud appeared.

And information about this medicine star also appeared.

[Weak Strength Potion]

It is an alchemical potion.

It is produced by Witch Loule.

"An alchemical potion that, once consumed, can temporarily boost one's strength for one hour."

(Note: Minor muscle damage may occur after the effects wear off; please use in conjunction with therapeutic medications.)

"Yay!"

Lou Le waved happily.

What pleased Lou Le even more was that there was a faint star of a power potion below it. However, the power potion and the potion below were separated by a wall of an asteroid belt.

To bypass this meteorite belt, you need fire-attribute medicinal herbs that are directed to the left.

"However, it seems that we can directly use the yellowish-brown ore to traverse this meteorite belt."

Lou Le took two yellowish-brown ores. Ores are different from herbs. Herbs are sold in groups of four, while ores are sold in groups of two.

Grinding ores is more troublesome than grinding herbs; they need to be crushed first and then ground into powder.

The ground, yellowish-brown powder sparkles and looks very beautiful.

Lou Le was startled after throwing it into the potion.

"Oh no, I got too excited and forgot to replace the water base."

Lou Le quickly used his Eye of Grandet to check and found that the potion had not failed.

She thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and started stirring again.

With a spin, the medicine bottle successfully appeared past the meteorite belt, illuminating the stars behind it.

However, with a loud bang, another small mushroom cloud appeared.

Lou Le quickly looked inside and found that the moisture inside had neither decreased nor disappeared.

Using the Eye of Grandet, one discovers that the name of the potion has changed.

[Weak Strength, Stone Skin Elixir]

It is a mixture of alchemical potions.

It has the effects of two medicines at the same time.

"An alchemical potion that, once consumed, can temporarily boost one's strength for one hour."

"An alchemical potion that, once ingested, can harden your skin like a rock within an hour."

"A dual-effect potion!"

Lou Le's eyes widened; he was surprised to learn that there were such things as dual-effect potions.

However, after looking at the stargazing map, it seems that only Strength and Stone Skin Potions can be used to create dual-effect potions.

Because the difference in materials is only one type of yellowish-brown ore.

She glanced at the stars above the Stone Skin Potion again.

[Stone Skin Potion]

"An alchemical potion that, once ingested, can harden your skin like a rock within an hour."

"Watering the ore can shorten the maturation period of the ore seeds."

"Ore that already has a stone base can be matured once immediately after being irrigated with the Stone Skin Potion."

"Continuous use of ore will damage the ore seed."

"It's not very profitable. It takes three sets of Earth Roots and two pieces of Yellow Earth Ore to harvest four pieces of Yellow Earth Ore."

"No profit, no profit."

Lou Le shook her head slightly; she recalled the drug experiments several times over.

One Power Potion, one Stone Skin Potion, and one Mixed Power Stone Skin Potion.

"But I probably won't sell plain Stone Skin Potions anymore," Lou Le thought. "Plain Stone Skin Potions and Mixed Strength Stone Skin Potions use the same ingredients, and the mixed potions will likely be more expensive."

Limera has returned to the house, holding various eggs in her arms.

Lou Le called her over; after all, Limela was a native, and had been trained.

Lou Le planned to ask Limeira about the customs and culture of this world so that he could determine the price of the potion.

Limera then said, "Miss Loule, there are basically only two types of potions in this world. One type is used by adventurers and commoners, and the other type is exclusively for mages."

"Potions specifically for mages are expensive. However, those for adventurers and ordinary people are cheaper."

"After all, these things are made to be sold. If they're too expensive, they won't sell."

"Understood."

Lou Le nodded.

The Strength Potion can be priced slightly higher than the Healing Potion, while the Mixed Strength Stone Skin Potion can be priced slightly higher than the Frost Potion.

Lou Le plans to price the Strength Potion at four gold coins and three silver coins. If it's a processing fee, she plans to price it at three gold coins.

The Mixed Strength Stone Skin Potion is priced at nine gold and eight silver, with a processing fee of seven gold.

She thought this was a reasonable price.

Lou Le was very satisfied; she couldn't wait to go to Graystone City to make money!

Limela also mentioned something else: "Miss Loule, the poultry eggs are piling up. If we don't have a freezer, we'll have to pickle them."
