Chapter 19: Healing Potion

“Then what conditions do I need to fulfil for me to buy mithril from you?”

When he heard that he could buy mithril only from this shop, Li Tianxiang immediately changed his mind and started to ask how he could fulfill the conditions for purchase.

The owner of the Green House nodded appreciatively. Efficiency was the best quality for alchemists.

The man in front of her did not look old, but he could easily make the most efficient choice.

If the shop owner made things difficult for him, he would go to another shop. However, if he couldn’t go to another shop, he would accept the challenge.

“It’s very simple.”

The woman accurately threw three bottles of potion into Li Tianxiang’s arms.

“One of the three potions is a simple healing potion, and the other two have special ‘condiments’. If you can accurately find the healing potion, you can purchase basic materials like mithril.”

Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and raised the three bottles of medicine in front of him.

The three glass containers that were shaped like ceramic jars were filled with the same amount of pale green viscous liquid. There was almost no obvious visual difference.

However, Li Tianxiang didn’t panic. He first opened the lids of the three containers one by one, then gently fanned the opening with his hand.

He sniffed the containers carefully, but there was still no difference.

After pondering for a moment, Li Tianxiang extended his pinky and carefully dipped it into the first jar of liquid.

[Healing Potion (with impurities)]

Just as his fingers touched the surface of the potion, a translucent square-shaped frame floated out from the top of the jar. The words “Healing Potion (with impurities)” appeared inside the frame.

Li Tianxiang quietly wiped his finger clean and dipped it into two other containers.

[Healing Potion]

[Healing Potion (ineffective)]

Although he didn’t know why the potion in the third container was ineffective, Li Tianxiang still calmly pushed the second jar of green potion forward.

“This bottle should be the healing potion that you asked me to find.”

The owner of the Green House widened her eyes and looked at the correct potion in Li Tianxiang’s hand in disbelief.

“Can I know how you managed to determine that this is the healing potion?”

Li Tianxiang was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know how to form a sentence to say that he had a system that could differentiate what was useful to the farm.

However, his hesitation gave her another signal.

“Please forgive me for overstepping my boundaries. It’s just that ordinary alchemists can only differentiate between the three potions by tasting some samples. However, you were able to differentiate them with just a slight touch. I’m very curious!”

At this moment, the woman had already walked down the stairs and arrived in front of Li Tianxiang. She raised her head to look at his face, her crystal-like eyes shining with a thirst for knowledge.

As a result, Li Tianxiang subconsciously looked away.

Upon seeing Li Tianxiang’s actions, the woman stood up straight again, sorted out her expression, and flashed that lazy smile again.

“I beg your pardon. I shouldn’t pry into other people’s secrets.”

“My name is Greene. Welcome to the Green House.”

“Is it actually real?”

However, the one who was most shocked was Lan, who was currently in a daze on the stairs.

“How can there be such a young alchemist?!”

Upon seeing her sister’s sour expression, May walked to Li Tianxiang’s side in amusement.

“This little girl found it hard to believe that you scared our father just now, so she deliberately used the rules of the Green House to test you. Please don’t blame her.”

Li Tianxiang looked at the girl who was drawing circles on the stairs and shook his head.

“I wouldn’t go so far as to fuss over a little girl.”

Unexpectedly, his words angered Lan again. She jumped up and waved her small fists as she said fiercely, “Who’s little?! I’ll be an adult next year!”

“Other than mithril…”

Li Tianxiang ignored her and turned to look at Greene.

“I also want to customize some alchemical equipment.”

Greene looked at Li Tianxiang with a more profound look and led the three of them to the second floor. At this moment, the disguise of the second floor had been removed.

Li Tianxiang only discovered the true appearance of the Green House after walking up the stairs.

The decor on the second floor was similar to that of a large supermarket. There were all kinds of materials on the dozens of shelves.

It was divided into the ore area, insect area, plant area, and so on.

Meanwhile, on the display tables nearby, there was a lot of weird-looking alchemy equipment, or rather, irregular chemical equipment that was used for experiments.

For example, the stirring was done with a wooden stick. Furthermore, there were no heat insulation nets to conduct heat evenly on the shelves that were used to heat the beakers.

Even after searching for a long time, Li Tianxiang did not find the most basic experimental equipment, the measuring cylinder.

“The experimental equipment found in the Green House is definitely the most comprehensive among all the alchemical material shops in the Monarch City. You can find any equipment you need here. There’s no need to customize any equipment.”

Greene’s expression was slightly proud. However, Li Tianxiang was somewhat helpless.

He placed the diagram of a round-bottomed flask he had drawn at the Schariac family house in front of her.

“I need a piece of equipment like this.”

Greene was a little stunned as she looked at the unfamiliar diagram on the piece of paper. However, she was an alchemist proficient in alchemy.

Thus, she quickly understood the difference between this kind of flask and the most commonly used wide-necked flasks.

“Can this flask reduce losses during alchemical processes?”

Upon seeing Li Tianxiang nod, Greene’s eyes shone brightly.

The current alchemical processes often resulted in the loss of base materials. As a result, it was very difficult to obtain enough products.

As a result, many alchemical techniques existed only on paper and not in practice.

With this flask, although earth-shattering qualitative changes would not be observed in alchemy, some experiments that needed proof that they were effective could now produce convincing products.

“Well…”

Greene suddenly stammered as if she found it difficult to speak.

“I’m placing a custom order only for the quantity I need. You can naturally sell the rest yourself, but this thing doesn’t involve much technical content. You can just look at it and make a large number of replicas. It doesn’t have much value.”

“How can it be worthless!”

Green was extremely dissatisfied with Li Tianxiang’s casual words.

“You don’t understand. With this container, many minor alchemical techniques can be proven. Furthermore, some alchemical techniques that are difficult to carry out can now have a good environment for reactions. How can you call this worthless!”

However, this was only the standard of a junior high school or even a primary school enrichment class. It was the most basic container. Li Tianxiang thought helplessly about this, but did not refute her.

“So can you help me make it?”

Greene shook her head sadly.

“Although the Green House also sells alchemy equipment, if you want to manufacture glass equipment in particular, you have to look for a dwarf engineer.”

Then, they agreed to send the mithril Li Tianxiang needed to the alchemy workshop of the Schariac family.

Under Greene’s instructions, they arrived at the dwarf engineer’s shop in the corner of the market.

Before they could enter the dilapidated house, a scorching heat wave hit them. Furthermore, the sound of something being knocked against was endless.

Li Tianxiang casually opened the shop’s curtain..
