Chapter 11: First Alchemy

  Originally, Yang Jue planned to start studying alchemy in Nuremberg, but due to some unexpected events later on, Yang Jue and his family were forced to move to the imperial capital, so Yang Jue's alchemy plan was stillborn.

  Since he decided to continue studying alchemy, Yang Jue did not return home directly after school in the afternoon, but instead took his sister Hei Yue to a small magical market. First, they found a bank where they could deposit and withdraw money, and withdrew 100 gold coins from the magic crystal card given by Solara. Then, they used this money to buy a large number of alchemy items. In addition, as he had thought before in Newamburg, Yang Jue still planned to start learning alchemy from the lowest-level magical potion - Primary Healing Potion.

  Having had a purchasing experience, Yang Jue was very familiar with the process and quickly bought all the necessary materials for making primary treatment potions, such as silverleaf grass, hundred-mile fragrance, and containers like bottles or jars.

  "Brother, what are we buying these strange things for?" Hei Yue was quite perplexed.

  "Haha! Don't underestimate these things! I make a living from them!" Yang Jue said with an air of mystery.

  Back home. After dinner with his parents, Yang Jue sneaked into the basement, planning to start learning alchemy immediately. His sister Hei Yue followed him out of curiosity.

  "Yang Jue brother, what are we going to do after all?" Seeing Yang Jue start arranging those peculiarly shaped bottles and small jars, Hei Yue couldn't help but ask.

  "Trying out alchemy, brewing a basic healing potion." Yang Jue replied.

  "What is this primary treatment potion?" Hei Yue asked again.

  "A magical potion. After successful preparation, it can be exchanged for money." Yang Jue smiled and explained.

  "Really?!" Hei Yue was clearly very interested in this sort of thing.

  Talk is cheap, action speaks louder. At this moment, Yang Jue immediately began experimenting on how to mix the primary treatment potion.

  This task, saying it's not difficult is not easy. When mixing medicinal water, apart from mastering the quantity of each material, process control is key. After all, various chemical agents mixed together must have some reaction. Once this process loses control, the result will certainly be a failure.

  In fact, the entire process of preparing the medicine requires extremely strong spiritual energy to control, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed. And in this aspect, Yang Jue is particularly skilled.

  In addition, the preparation of potions also requires the consumption of a certain amount of magical energy. In other words, Yang Jue not only needs to control the reaction process of the potion but also needs to spend mental strength to gather magical energy, and in places where magical energy is scarce, this step becomes extremely mentally taxing.

  Fortunately, Yang Jue still had a treasure, which was the ancestral jade stone that brought him across to this world.

  This jade stone was not a peculiar object in the world where Yang Jue originally resided, but after crossing over to this world, Yang Jue discovered that it had an extremely practical function - it could automatically help its wearer collect magical energy.

  "Automatically collect magical energy!" If one is well-versed in magic, they would know just how precious a function this is. After all, when a magician wants to cast any spell, the first thing they need to do is find a way to gather magical energy. Only with magical energy can spells be cast. And for most magicians, gathering magical energy mainly relies on mental strength.

  Imagine having a treasure that can continuously provide magical energy by your side. When the energy is depleted, it can automatically recharge, making it effortless to cast magic. Yang Jue's jade stone can be said to be a heaven-defying object! If people were to find out, who knows how many envious magicians would frantically try to snatch it away.

  In fact, Yang Jue was able to cast third-level magic at the age of six, thanks to the help of Jade Stone in gathering magical energy. Otherwise, even if Yang Jue's magical talent was strong, it would be impossible to collect enough energy to cast a third-level spell in a short period of time, let alone instantly casting a third-level spell.

  This is Yang Jue's biggest secret. Normally, he wears jade close to his body and never easily shows it to others.

  With the help of Yu Shi in collecting magical energy and having a strong spiritual force to control the preparation process, Yang Jue's production of magic medicine was no longer so difficult. Thus, within about an hour or so, Yang Jue successfully experimented with the first bottle of "Primary Healing Potion".

  Having gained experience in making the first bottle of primary treatment potion, it's no longer a difficult task to make the second and third bottles.

  So, after a night's work, Yang Jue produced 100 bottles of primary treatment potion. If sold at the market price of 5 copper per bottle, these 100 bottles of treatment potion could be sold for 500 copper, which is equivalent to 5 silver, just breaking even. After all, it was his first time refining gold, and he would naturally waste a lot of materials during experimentation. Being able to break even wasn't bad either.

  The question is whether the 100 bottles of primary treatment potion made by Yang Jue for the first time have reached market standards and can be sold for 5 coppers per bottle.

  The next day, at noon during the school break, Yang Jue quietly slipped out of school and brought 100 bottles of medicine in a box to that small magic market he went to yesterday.

  Found a store that specializes in selling magical potions, at the door to size up this small pharmacy called "Magic Medicine Hall", hesitated for a moment, Yang Jue still walked into the store.

  In the small shop, there was a long counter, and the boss, wearing a pair of deep-seated myopia glasses, sat behind the counter and dozed off. Behind him, there was a row of tall shelves, on which all kinds of magical potions were placed, and Yang Jue discovered that among them was a primary treatment potion.

  "Boss..." Yang Jue knocked on the counter.

  "Ah...... what's up, little friend?" The boss suddenly woke up and looked around, only to find a six-year-old kid with a small build standing in front of the counter.

  "Boss, I'd like to ask if you buy magic potions here?" Yang Jue asked.

  "Ah, what's wrong? Are you here to supply goods?" The boss asked jokingly.

  "Yes, boss! Would you mind helping me appraise the quality of these potions?" Yang Jue placed the potions he had refined on the counter. Due to the high counter, he had to stand on tiptoes to do so.

  The boss looked at him with a suspicious gaze, then opened the box and casually picked up one of the bottles of medicine, took a glance, and asked: "Primary treatment potion. Who brewed it? Was it your dad?"

  "How did you know, boss? It's true, these medicines were made by my father. After he finished making them, he asked me to sell them." At this moment, Yang Jue looked like a naive and innocent child, harmless, and if he was lying, it's likely that no one would suspect him.

  "Hey, you're still so young, it's a pity. Is your father willing to let you come out and sell things? Where is your father? Why didn't he come himself?" the boss asked.

  "My dad is busy with something. He said 'children from poor families should be independent early', I'm not young anymore, it's time for me to go out and gain some experience." Yang Jue said with a smile.

  "No wonder. Alright, let me appraise the quality of these potions first, and then decide on a purchase price." With that, the boss began to appraise the low-level healing potions that Yang Jue had brought over.

  He first used a dropper to take out some medicine, put it in a bright place to carefully observe the color, then put it under his nose to smell the scent, and finally even tasted it with his tongue.

  "Hmm, the quality of this primary treatment potion is really good! It's already reached a high standard! Much better than what we had in stock before!" The boss kept praising.

  For such an evaluation, Yang Jue felt very surprised. "My first attempt at alchemy would actually have such a good level? Looking at this, a genius alchemist is about to be born?" Yang Jue thought excitedly.

  "Alright kiddo, I'll take all of these potions! And I'll give you 7 copper for them. By the way, this is the highest price I've ever offered for a basic healing potion - usually I only pay 5 copper per bottle. Also, when you go back, tell your dad that I'm really hoping to establish a long-term partnership with him. As long as he keeps brewing high-quality potions, I'll be happy to buy them from him at 20% above market price, no matter what kind they are. Oh, and what's your dad's name?" the boss asked.

  "My dad is just a relatively unknown junior magician. Nobody knows his name even if I say it out loud." Yang Jue laughed and said.

  "Oh, then please give this card to your father. My name and the address of my small shop are written on it. Go back and tell him that I welcome him to visit my small shop at any time." Seeing Yang Jue deliberately hiding something, the boss showed understanding, after all, some alchemists in order to protect themselves, generally acted very low-key, so he didn't ask further questions.

  Yang Jue took over the card and saw that there was a name written on it called "Chad".

  "Okay, Uncle Chad. I'll definitely tell my dad."

  "Right, 100 bottles of basic healing potion, each bottle costs 7 copper, that's a total of 700 copper, which is equivalent to 7 silver. Here are the 7 silver coins, take them." Chad handed over the 7 silver coins to Yang Jue.

  "Thank you, uncle."

  Originally thought that as long as it was possible to break even, it would be good enough, but unexpectedly the result turned out better than expected and actually earned 200 copper.

  200 copper! Although it's a small amount, the significance is extraordinary. This means that Yang Jue has successfully entered the ranks of alchemists and can now make a living with his own abilities.
