Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!-Chapter 52 Basic Pills

?Basic pills.

[Ace POV],

I did not do anything else after selecting the general sub-option in the store as I stopped to think for a while.

There are many things that can be made with Alchemy, but with my current level, my options are limited.

I'm not even a trainee Alchemist yet.

Apart from providing me with information about alchemy, the Basic Alchemy Knowledge also provided me with some basic recipes, blueprints, techniques and other things.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons it is priced at that level.

Despite the fact that they were only basic, there was a reasonable amount listed in the Basic Alchemy Knowledge.

From Rank 0 to Rank 2.

After giving it some thought, I decided to start with one of the things that Alchemists are famous for.

Pills.

This was one of the reasons I chose to exchange for a cauldron as well.

To make pills.

Among the recipes in the Basic Alchemy Knowledge, I decided to start with two pills.

A basic health pill and a basic mana pill.

One is used to recover health when injured, and the other is used to recover mana, according to Basic Alchemy Knowledge.

Another pill falls into the same category as these two.

A basic stamina pill.

I didn't start with this because adding it to the list would make it three, and in my current situation, as long as I can level up, the exhaustion will be gone.

Yes, I'm making these for myself.

The reason for not making the basic stamina pill is simple, but another reason is that the health pill can do the same thing.

Though not as effective as the stamina pill, it is more than enough for me to use if necessary.

When I reach the trainee level and become a trainee alchemist, I intend to begin making the stamina pill and other pills.

Well, all of these thoughts are just that because I can't make anything yet.

I returned my attention to the panel in front of me as I considered these things.

Since I intend to begin with two pills, I will need to purchase two different sets of herbs.

Though I'm starting with these two pills, that doesn't mean I'll begin practicing them both as soon as I get the materials to make them.

I'll start with one and then switch to the other when I reach a certain level in the other pill.

As I was thinking about these things, I went to the search bar in the general section and began looking for the herbs I needed.

I wasn't considering the part about not having enough coins to buy the materials needed to make the pills with the number of coins I had on hand right now.

Even if I did not exchange the items I no longer needed, I would still be able to purchase the herbs I required.

The materials required for these basic pills are 'common,' according to what I've seen and learned from basic alchemy knowledge.

How 'common' these things are, I don't know.

This adds to my suspicions that there are civilizations out there whose foundations are based on these things that feel and appear strange to me right now.

I wouldn't have thought about these things before the Apocalypse, but things are different now.

If a human can summon creatures from another 'world' and a human can make flames on his own, I see no reason why these things should not exist.

After all, something can only be referred to as 'common' if it can be found and observed everywhere.

Returning my attention to the materials required for these basic pills, I was sure that I would have enough coins to purchase them since I was sure they would not be expensive.

According to basic alchemy knowledge, the materials required for these basic pills, particularly rank 0 pills, are very basic.

They would be equal to plants if it weren't for the fact that they contained a small amount of mana.

They can only be used to make something and that is when their worth is revealed, but if left alone, it would only be a plant with little mana and few uses.

And when I saw the price for one of the materials I needed, I knew I was correct.

[Stalks of Lily grass], [15 Bronze coins]

It wasn't even a single unit, but several, so I can make some headway even if I waste some herbs in the process.

I finally brought the materials I required after a while.

I'm not sure if it's a lot, but I sent three silvers on these herbs in total, so it should be enough, right?

After purchasing the herbs I required, I dismissed the panel and took the cauldron I used the free item ticket given as a reward by the primordial chronicle from the storage ring.

I looked at the cauldron that I had only once focused on, which was still hovering in the air.

.......

[Magic steel cauldron],

This cauldron was created by an Advanced Blacksmith Master and an Advanced Formation Master, with the entire body constructed of steel infused with magic.

Craved with functional formations and increase the success rate of rank 0 items by 12% and rank 1 items by 8%.

........

Looking at the cauldron hovering in the air in front of me that was priced at 18 gold coins, I observed it carefully this time.

An Advanced Blacksmith master and an Advanced Formation master forged the cauldron from magical steel.

The reason the cauldron was floating in the air is due to a formation drawn on the bottom of the cauldron, and aside from the formation that caused it to float, there were other formations drawn on it as well.

While I couldn't recognize every one, I could recognize some.

There was one who assisted the Alchemist in controlling the flames.

It wasn't exactly controlling it, but it was assisting the alchemist in some ways.

The concocted item may be wasted if the flame is too hot or the temperature is too low for whatever was being made in the cauldron. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

It was more like how a home's stabilizer regulates the electrical currents in the building to prevent them from damaging items if the current was too high. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

I tried to understand the other formations drawn on and in the cauldron but gave up when I couldn't and prepared to make a pill instead.
