Chapter 564 Time To Gather Materials!
Chapter 564 Time To Gather Materials!
-----
So to make a Scar Healing Potion, I need several materials. I realized that the leaves I used work very well at healing scars, and also the magic and spirit power of Alice would help too, as they carry a lot of intensity. But that alone can't make a proper potion, we need materials.
I've been making stuff for the last month so my reserves are all gone as well, I need to go buy some materials or pick them up from the wild, and with my Alchemy Skill, it is better if I pick them up fresh from nature, as it has a chance to increase their quality grade.
"So what do we need for the potion? Just little plants?" Asked Zack.
"No, little plants alone won't do, we also need some magic ores." Said Celeste. "For holding everything together we'll need something like Spirit Stones, preferably Life Attribute, they're the riches in healing properties out there. I checked before and the market has sold them off now, so we need to go find them."
"And aside from that, I think the Magic Crystal of a very strong monster that is related with Nature or Life attribute. We've got a lot from years ago, but they're all Dark Attribute, can't work with those." Aquarina said.
"And lastly, we require bones and blood, preferably from something filled with life- Ah! And some type of Magic Wood as well." I said with a nod. "I'll need all of guy's abilities for everything!"
"Wait, you need way too many materials!" Zack complained. "It is just a scar healing potion, right?"
"Yeah but it is way too old, we need to make an Elixir." I said with a smile.
"E-Elixir?!" Zack and Mist asked in unison. The two were clueless about Alchemy, so of course making an Elixir for them seemed like an impossible task.
"Elixirs are merely a Type of Healing Item." I sighed. "It is nothing insanely complicated. Just like there are Antidotes, Potions, and so on, Elixirs are a TYPE of item! Not just the best there is out there."
"Yeah, but Elixirs are still… a big thing, right?" Zack asked.
"Certainly they are!" I laughed. "To make one you need a ton of materials. Their complexity rank up a lot compared to your run-of-the-mill potions. We are talking about… probably a B Grade item!"
"WHAT?!" Zack and Mist once more reacted with surprise.
"B Grade? Isn't that a bit too much?" Wondered Aquarina. "At most we can make C Grade, and with tons of difficulty…"
Of course, she had no idea I had my cheat Alchemist Subclass and Alchemy Skill, both of them were quite awesome in what they could do.

Both were amazing skills as they were. With them, I was sure to boost my conventional Alchemy to completely insane levels. Alchemy at Level 4 was also pretty amazing. The abilities it held are perfect to extract and merge materials masterfully too.
"But for all the materials we need…" Celeste said. "So we are going to the deeper forest areas?"
"Indeed…"
The Continent of Atlanta was filled with Magic due to its ancientness. After all this place was filled with Ancient Ruins of the Gods everywhere, filling it with Magic and their leftover Divine Power.
This only meant one thing, the entire continent over the many years since the gods left the surface, ended becoming a paradise of magic materials and ores growing everywhere, monsters are also effectively stronger than their tiers would indicate.
However, that also makes it so their bodies are overflowing with good grade materials.
"The forest surrounding Agartha is named Evergreen Forest, and deeper into it there's several abandoned Ruins that turned out into Dungeons. Alongside them, there's the Haunts, which are places overflowing with Magical Power due to these very Ruins. I know the route for what we need, to pick up magic wood we need to go through the Emerald Path, then we reach the Spiritual Springs for high quality water, then we hunt monsters in the way towards the Elder Ruins of Yggdra, and then we mine the Spirit Stones growing inside of them." I said with a nod. "Everything's going to be smooth, don't worry. I can assure you!"
"You always say that…" Zack sighed.
"And then we get involved in trouble…" Aquarina sighed.
"Ahahaha… C-Come on! Cheer up!" I sighed, trying to cheer them up a bit.
I indeed had quite the history of fuckups, but this was definitely going to be different, I had not grown up for nothing!
"Yaaay! Adventure time!"
"Mist don't run in front…"
Mist and Celeste at least seemed willing.
