"...Alright. Time to bottle them up."
Focusing all of her attention on Valyr's current attempt at concocting a Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potion, Mystia spread her senses to its limits as she kept a watchful eye on the young man's movements.
Nodding in response to her words, Valyr took in a deep breath before grabbing a bunch of empty vials from the table.
Bringing them closer to him, he then let out a long exhale as he briefly went through the motions of scooping up the essence into the vials.
Reminding himself to not be too nervous, it was only then did he make his move, moving the vials near the combined essence at the bottom of the cauldron before releasing a bit of Prime Azure Energy from his free hand.
Whoosh!
Converting the energy into mana, he then began to scoop the essence into the vial, inwardly becoming excited after noticing no loss in essence whatsoever.
Knowing not to let his excitement get the better of him, Valyr tamped his excitement down for the meantime as he continued scooping up the essence into the vials with energy.
Subconsciously holding his breath for the entire duration of the bottling process, it was only after he'd scraped every bit of essence out of the cauldron did the young man breathe again, only to shift his gaze towards the vials he'd just filled.
"[Superior Analysis]."
Ding!
[Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potion] (Item)
Rarity: Common
A vial filled with fluid that contains a strong power to heal wounds. Made by someone who's taken a step into the world of alchemy, though has experience and knowhow to surpass the limits of their skills.
Once consumed, this vial restores 14% of the user's max HP.
"I think you've finally gotten the hang of it." While the young man was still in the midst of going through the description he brought up, Mystia looked at Valyr with a smile. "Congratulations, Valyr. You've finally become an alchemist."
"An alchemist that only knows how to make Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potions," replied the young man with a chuckle, closing up the screen before him as he looked back at her. "Though, it does feel nice to be called by that."
After the two went over his first attempt at concocting a basic health potion, both Valyr and Mystia spent the next few hours continuously concocting it again and again, with each attempt focusing on a certain part of the concoction process.
Because of that, Valyr was gradually able to shore up the foundations that he'd lacked during the first attempt, with each attempt giving him the experience that was necessary for some of the steps.
In total, the duo went through 17 attempts in the span of five hours, with the one he'd just finished bottling up being his most recent one.
"How does it fare compared to the other Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potions currently in the market?" Talking a bit with Mystia about the recent attempt, Valyr soon shifted the topic towards the product itself as he brought the relevant knowledge up in his mind.
"It's definitely up there," replied Mystia, giving the young man a big boost to his ego. "I've taken a look at its description and noticed that it's only a percent away from being considered a perfect Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potion."
"A perfect Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potion actually sells for a pretty penny, especially if you put them in a market that noble clans frequent," said Mystia with a grin.
"Of course, there are also Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potions that transcend the limit here and there, but most people buy those for the novelty rather than the effect."
"Then again, most of those potions were my creation from my early days," boasted the woman, causing Valyr to roll his eyes in response as he continued to smile.
"In any case, now that you've accumulated a decent amount of theoretical and practical experience with the Lesser Health Rejuvenation Potions, I suppose it's time for move onto the next step."
Hearing Mystia shift the topic to something else, Valyr pondered over it for a bit before responding. "Are we gonna make Lesser Mana Rejuvenation Potions this time?"
"Yes." Mystia nodded with a bit of laughter. "However, we'll be taking a different approach." "Remember how I mentioned early on that I'll be teaching you two styles of alchemy?"
"I do, yeah," said Valyr after a bit of contemplation, nodding as he looked back at Mystia. "So, that means you'll be teaching me your style of alchemy now?"
While the young man felt a bit of excitement, Mystia nodded with a smile. "Well, considering that you've got the Mystic Rune Alchemist subclass, you could say it's our style of alchemy, but yeah. I'll be teaching you that."
Releasing a bit of pure Mystic Energy into the surroundings, she began her explanation. "As I've mentioned before, this style of alchemy mainly involves the usage of Mystic Energy. In fact, you could say that the entire style hinges upon Mystic Energy."
"Now, you might ask. Why would that be the case?"
As those words left her mouth, Mystia went ahead and used a bit of mana to grab the ingredients making up a Lesser Mana Rejuvenation Potion from her table.
Then, moving them closer towards the Mystic Energy she released, she then closed her eyes for a bit before sending some more Mystic Energy into the surroundings, eventually encapsulating the ingredients in a cocoon made out of the energy.
With the cocoon covering all of the ingredients, Valyr was left staring at nothing for quite some time, prompting him to ponder for a bit as to what was going on inside the cocoon.
Then again, since it involved energy that accepted every concept he threw at it, it did not take much from the young man to figure out what was happening.
Though, he was still surprised when the cocoon dissipated on its own, leaving behind a cloud of dark blue particles that filled up multiple vials after Mystia willed them into it.
"As you can see, with this style, there's no need for either the cauldron or the tedious manipulation of energy," said Mystia as she looked at Valyr with a smile. "Every important step of the process is all done with Mystic Energy."
"I'm sure you already have an idea as to what it's called since you've obtained the subclass,
but yes."
"I'll now be teaching you the art of Mystic Rune Alchemy."
