Even if you can't afford it, you might find some clues using the "monkey typewriter".

As he pondered this, Luo An entered the market.

At this time, the market is still very lively.

On the eve of the harvest celebrations, the market is mostly filled with crop vendors and spice merchants.

Some traveling merchants also take advantage of the time before the festival to secure a prime commercial location.

Because of Luo An's attire, the merchants all mistook him for an ordinary farmer.

It's not unusual to see farmers in town during harvest celebrations.

Aside from being curious about Luo An's black hair, they didn't chase him away.

It's much better than when I was a stable boy.

Luo An wasn't so rude as to peek into the shop's goods.

Anyway, I can't afford it.

While patrolling and strolling around, Luo An smelled a fragrance that invigorated him.

In one corner of the market, there was a horse-drawn carriage with an old-fashioned tent in front of it, surrounded by spice racks.

He appears to be a traveling businessman.

Luo An arrived at the camp tent.

The aroma is even more intense.

Just smelling the aroma made Luo An let out a soft moan of pleasure.

Most of the day's fatigue has subsided; I wonder what good thing it is.

Even if you don't have money, it's not illegal to just look without buying.

Luo An entered the tent.

The tent was filled with all sorts of strange objects: an old-fashioned wind-up clock, a life-sized sculpture, and even a magnifying glass.

Many things that Luo An had never seen before were placed on the ground and shelves, leaving almost no room to step.

In the middle of the tent, there was an old, small table, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.

"Is the town of Lorton really that safe?"

As Luo An muttered to himself, he suddenly noticed the table shaking.

"Boss?!" Luo An called out hesitantly.

"Oh, sorry, just a moment." The table suddenly shook, and a girl nodded with a gentle smile.

She had long, smooth, light blonde hair, with one side braided into a thick plait that fell naturally over her shoulder.

She rubbed her head, which was throbbing from the bump, and fumbled to put on a pair of round-framed glasses and a large white pointed wizard's hat. She looked up and smiled, her eyes blue-green.

"Hello, my name is Tonerie. Oh dear, it's so late, I thought we didn't have any customers. What would you like to buy? Spices? Jewelry? We also sell some potions."

Roan scrutinized Tonery's head; it didn't look like a traveler's head, but more like a wizard's.

Tonery noticed Roan's pitchfork. She smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry to have you looking at me like that, guests. The harvest season is about to begin, and I'm preparing the goods. Am I causing you any trouble?"

Luo An withdrew his gaze; the city's appearance was none of his concern. He just wanted to know what was emitting the fragrance.

"Is there anything that can relieve fatigue... preferably something inexpensive?"

"Ah, yes, just a moment." Tonery breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out a book, placed it on the table, and opened it.

"Relieve fatigue...is it physical fatigue or mental fatigue...?"

"My body," Luo An said.

"Let me think," she said, quickly turning the page.

"Wolf's Blood Grass... Fatigue Potion... Dragon's Blood Potion... Hmm... Land Turtle Shell?"

As Tonerie murmured, a golden glint appeared in Roan's eyes.

The Monkey Typewriter is piecing together knowledge.

As Toneri muttered, countless fragments of knowledge began to piece together.

Until a message popped up.

Wolf's Blood Grass: An herb abundant in Loton, taken orally, it can relieve muscle tension. Its bitter taste makes it often used as a torch to ward off wolves.

[Fragments of the tortoise shell: Fragments of the shell of a tortoise endemic to the Kingdom of Van Rijk, believed to have aphrodisiac effects.]

Wolf's Blood Grass + Land Turtle Shell Fragment = Invigorating Potion

"Do you have any wolf's blood grass here?" Luo An guessed that the fragrance was coming from wolf's blood grass.

"Ah." Tonerie tilted her head, then smiled.

"Please wait a moment, guest."

She stood up, and only then did Roan notice that Tonerie was very tall, about 1.67 meters, wearing a blue striped white robe that concealed her voluptuous figure that made the gods err.

Toneri rummaged around in the tent and soon found a small box containing dried leaves.

Upon opening the box, a fragrant aroma wafted out, instantly invigorating Luo An; it was indeed the scent of wolf's blood grass.

"Sir, is this what you're looking for? Wolf's Blood Grass is a very common spice."

"Can I try? How much does it cost?" Wolf's Blood Grass isn't exactly rare. Luo An asked tentatively.

"Of course," Tonerie smiled. "It's not worth much. You can take a little to try. Just be careful not to put it in your mouth, it's very bitter."

Roan picked up a dry blade of grass and, following Toneri's instructions, tilted his head back and swallowed the wolf blood grass.

It tastes very bitter, and it hits you right in the head.

But it also gave Luo Ansheng a burst of strength, and relieved some of his muscle soreness.

However, this level is not enough.

Luo An hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are there any fragments of land tortoise shells here?"

"Fragments of a land tortoise?" Tonerie tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Yes, there are guests."

She ran into the pile of junk again to rummage through it. Watching her plump figure from behind, Luo An looked away.

Soon, Toneri placed a small, dusty box on the table.

"A fragment of a land tortoise. Sir, would you like to buy it? I can give you a 10% discount. Ten copper coins will suffice; those things are rarely wanted anymore." Tonery said expectantly. This was her first sale since arriving in town.

I do want to.

But Luo An was penniless.

Luo An used all his money to bury his adoptive mother and was left with a debt that he worked hard for two years to pay off.

In these difficult times, it's already quite remarkable that Luo An has no debt.

No money.

But that doesn't mean Luo An has no solution.

"Miss Tonerie, do you know about the [Invigorating Potion]?" Roan asked tentatively.

Tonery nodded, her blue eyes wide open.

"Sir, what do you want?"

"Can you make it?" Roan looked at the huge ancient book under Tonery's chest; it was probably a book about herbalism or a collection of illustrations.

Tonerie nodded. "I also make potions, including healing potions and cold remedies, although I only have a novice alchemist certificate. But I can guarantee you the results, and in return, my pay will be 20% higher."

This world has many plants with strange effects. Making potions in this world is roughly equivalent to brewing traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone knows a thing or two about it, but whether it works or not is another matter.

"That should be enough." Luo An breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a secret recipe for making 'Invigorating Potion'."

I'm looking for a reliable expert.

"I think we can cooperate."

Tonerie furrowed her beautiful brows.

In this era, knowledge symbolizes wealth.

The secret recipes for potions are the most precious treasures of alchemists; the more precious the recipe, the harder it is to obtain.

Even the lowest-level potion recipes cost silver coins to make.

This doesn't seem like something someone dressed like a farmer should be capable of.
