Limits
The next extract I wanted to create, was from the Blood Yarn. Throughout the time I've been in Apium, I received around 40 Blood Yarns. This alone, would be enough to make something powerful. I check at which point the impurities would be extracted. What I saw, totally stunned me. 'This Blood Yarn… It has almost no impurities…' I thought.
I could extract about 90-95% of properties without any impurities. This was amazing news, I could use less plants to make more Extract. As I was testing it, an idea came to my mind 'What if, I can make it even stronger?' I thought. I recalled that the building near the lake, had distillery. If I could condense the Extract even more, what would happen then? I couldn't wait to find out, so I made an Extract from 5 Blood Yarns. I received around 350 millilitres of the Extract.
With the Extract in hand, I went to the lake, and entered the building. Sha greeted me, and said "You did a lot for our people. I already know that you have permission to study the plants here. Feel free to do so, whenever you wish. If you need live specimen, just ask, we will provide that for you". I nodded, and said "Thanks, but that is not why I'm here today".
She became surprised, and asked "If not for the plants, then for what?". I replied "I need to use your distillery. I want to test something". She must've been thinking about something else, because her reply was… weird. "Oh, so it was that. Feel free to use it as much as you like" she said, with a bit of disappointment in her voice. I didn't think much of it, and thanked her.
I set up the distillery next, and poured the Blood Yarn Extract into the first container. I only used 100 millilitres, as I just wanted to test some things out. Next, I started the fire, and let the extract evaporate to the next container. I left it, until almost all of the extract evaporated. It was the opposite process, compared with Serelis.
Soon, the Extract evaporated to the next container, and what was left stunned me. There was some kind of substance, left at the bottom of the first container. I didn't distil it more, and checked the results. The extract that evaporated to the second container, became weak, very weak. The substance that was left in the first container, was a gooey liquid. It was still red, but very deep red. Darker than the blood, coursing through my veins.
I took it out, and examined it extensively. After some time, I finally realised what it was. 'Was I wrong the whole time? Did I really explore the limits of Extracts? This alone proves, that what I accomplished till now, were no Extracts. This thing is' I thought. What I discovered, was a real Extract. The gooey liquid was so strong, that the Extract I made of the Blood Yarn, was a laughingstock. 'If compared by volume, this gooey liquid is at least 10 times stronger, than what I managed to accomplish till now, with my Extracts' I thought. This stunned me, and I realised, how powerful the Art of Medicine could really be.
I decided to separate my Extracts into categories. The normal Extracts, that required herb cooking, until only the strongest properties were left, would be called Prime Extracts. While the distilled Extracts, would be called Zenith Extracts. I converted the rest of the Prime Blood Yarn Extract to Zenith Extract, and received about 20 millilitres of the gooey liquid.
'My thoughts were correct, and the experiment proved it. I need this tool. I want to have it with me, at all times' I thought, and went over to Sha. I asked her "Can you tell me, where can I get that tool for myself? I find it very useful, and would like to own one". She replied "We ordered it, so it's not something you can just buy. This thing costs quite a bit though. If you can pay me, I may be able to commission one, to be made for you".
I asked "How much would you need, to place the order?". She thought for awhile, and said "If you want the same as this one, you will need around 350 Black Hals". I sucked in some air, while she continued "I told you, it's expensive. Even if I order it now, you will wait for it a bit". I shook my head, and said "I don't have that much". She smiled, and said "You can use this one, as much as you like. After all, we don't use it that often anymore".
I nodded, and said "I'm grateful for that, but it was more for when I leave Apium. I would like to have this tool with me. I will try to get that money, and we will see". She nodded her head, and said "As you like. Anyway, why are you so interested in that tool now? Did you figure something out?". I replied "It's for something else, not Serelis. I will come back here often though, as I want to check the Ophilis Reeds in more details, and try to solve the lifespan problem".
She smiled, and said "You are always welcomed here". I then left, and returned to my own room. 'I have to make more Prime Extracts. With that kind of potent stuff, I wonder what it will do, to my blood purification process' I thought, and prepared to make Prime Extract, from all the Blood Yarns that I had. When everything was done, I went back to the lake, and used the distillery again. Sha looked at me, as I was working. She was probably interested, what was it exactly, that I was doing.
With the process of distilling the Prime Extract done, I had about 120 milliliters of Zenith Blood Yarn Extract. 'I can't intake all of this. I will die, if I do. 10 milliliters of this Extract, is equivalent to about 180 milliliters of Prime Extract. I think that my body will be able to take 30 milliliters at max. More than that, and it would be a problem' I thought. Sha walked over, and asked "What is that thing exactly?". I replied "It's my own creation. This is the medicine, I created to purify my blood. This stuff is ultra powerful, and your Fraction's creation, is no comparison to this".
She looked at it, and asked "Is it that amazing?". I replied "Yes. If I show it…. Hmmm". She looked confused, and asked "Show it to who?". I smiled, and said "I gotta run. Maybe, I will be able to afford that distillery after all". She waved goodbye, but was still a bit confused. I ran straight to the fields, to find Ulon. 'If I could sell it to Florin, raising 350 Black Hals shouldn't be a problem, probably. If not Atols, I can always sell this to Royal Lizards, or try with Shades' I thought.
I found Ulon in his house, and asked "Can I meet with Florin. I think I might have something interesting for her". Ulon was surprised, and asked "What is it this time?". I replied "I have this here, my new invention", and showed him the Zenith Blood Yarn Extract. He took a look, and examined it. As he was about to taste some, I stopped him, and said "Don't do that". He stopped himself, and asked "This is very strong medicine, what is it exactly?".
I replied "This is the Blood Purifying Medicine, that I made. It's much stronger, that what you can make currently". He looked at it, and asked "How strong is that thing?". I replied "Show me yours, and I will tell you". He returned my Extract, and retrieved his own Blood Purifying Medicine. I checked it out, and it was very weak, not as weak as the leftovers of my distilled Extract, but still weak. I said "This is at least 50 times weaker, than my invention".
He sucked in some air, and asked "That much?". I nodded, and said "This thing, is very valuable. Even if you can take it only once, the effects of that would be stunning". He nodded his head, and said "Alright, let's go. I wonder myself, what Florin is going to say".
