Chapter 135 Potion Making (Bonus Chapter 4 for End-of-Month Ranking Push ~ Requesting Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions, and Follow-Up Reading)
Moran: "..."

She was usually the one inspiring other little witches, but it was quite strange and novel for her to suddenly be inspired by the attention of her senior sisters!
While the little witches were making progress in their magic, the potions class finally moved on to the second stage: potion making.

Potions class was held in the largest red room in Greenhouse 1.

"Before class, let's get to know the utensils we'll use when making potions."

First, there's the crucible. Crucibles come in a variety of materials, but the most common is metal, which conducts heat quickly and heats evenly.

The crucible on everyone's table is just a very ordinary small brass crucible.

These small crucibles are perfect for holding small doses of potions! One pot can brew a maximum of two to three bottles of potions.

Once your alchemy magic level increases, you can get a larger crucible to mass-produce potions.

This brass-handled spoon is used for stirring and holding the potion.

Finally, there are the potion bottles used to hold potions, mostly made of glass and crystal.

Ms. Amisha introduced the medicine-making tools on the table to them one by one.

Actually, there are only three things: a crucible, a long-handled spoon, and a medicine bottle.

After giving a solemn introduction, he then said:
“If conditions are particularly harsh, an iron pot or even an earthenware pot can be used instead of a crucible, and a tree branch can be used as a long-handled spoon, but it will take more time and effort to boil.”

The vessels and tools used for brewing potions are important, but not that important, except for magical cauldrons with special effects, of course.

If it's not a magical item, the most important thing is actually our own alchemy magic.

Moran was used to it; it was typical of witches who had nothing and had to make do with what they had.

"The essence of alchemy magic is actually the process of using magical power or magic to extract the effective components from magical plants, and then heating and boiling them to fully integrate them in water."

Therefore, the talent for alchemy magic is actually determined by the talent for plant magic, water magic, and fire magic, with plant magic talent being the most important, followed by water magic, and fire magic last.

There are three basic potions that first graders will learn: weeding potion, insect-repelling potion, and recovery potion.

These three potions have very low requirements for alchemy talent, and basically any little witch can learn them.

Which one would you like to learn first? I'll demonstrate it for you!

Amisha asked.

Originally, there wasn't supposed to be this final choice, but I only asked because I've seen the little witches suffering so much lately.

To practice their magic a few more times, the breadfruits and the others really ate a lot!
Even though it's so sour it makes you grimace, you still have to keep pushing the progress bar.

Sure enough, the little witches said in unison, "Recovery potion! Learn the recovery potion first!"

“Okay!” Amisha picked up the plant from the podium: “The main ingredients for the Restoration Potion are belladonna, daisy stamens, and sap from sapwort.”

The first step is to clean the crucible.

It's best to use a cleaning spell to clean it, as any remaining impurities could affect the quality of the potion.

The second step is to add pure water, one portion of material, and one bottle of water to the crucible.

The third step is to use magic or magical power to penetrate the corresponding parts of the potion ingredients. Note that the magical command at this time is: extract the potion essence from the corresponding parts of the ingredients.

Use your magic or magical power to slowly infuse the potion essence into the cauldron.

Sometimes, it's necessary to use the Flame spell to heat the liquid, which helps the essence infuse into the water. For example, with a potion of recovery, the essence of sapwort juice is added to a cold pot, then heated with the Flame spell until the liquid boils three times before adding the essence of daisy stamens.

After the liquid has completely cooled down, add the belladonna extract and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly with a long-handled spoon.

When it came to the mixing step, some witches felt that mixing for too long would stain the long-handled spoon, so they let it mix on its own, like controlling cleaning tools and kitchen utensils…

Ms. Amisa spoke as she demonstrated.

At first, water vapor was rising, but gradually the vapor decreased until it stopped completely. After about three seconds, the liquid suddenly emitted a small white ring, like a smoker exhaling a smoke ring. Only then did Ms. Amisa stop stirring.
"It's ready! The medicinal mist ring we just saw was a sign that the potion was successfully made. Now, the liquid has completely stabilized."

After it cools down naturally, it can be bottled.

When Moran was a child, she watched Shana's mother concoct weed-removing and insect-repelling potions.

But what Shana's mother and Ms. Amisha are demonstrating now seems to her quite similar to making a thick soup.

Fortunately, the witches' potion ingredients were all made from magical plant essences, without any spiders, earthworms, toads, or the like.

The potion you brew is just a pot of medicinal soup.

After demonstrating once, Ms. Amisa let the little witches try it themselves, while she gave them pointers from the side.

The first thing Moran did was examine the crucible, long-handled spoon, and crystal vial on the table. Then she asked Ms. Amisa to show her crucibles and long-handled spoons of different sizes and made a {Witch's Crucible Set} card and a {Vial Card}.

The {Witch's Cauldron Set Card} includes small, medium, large, and extra-large cauldrons and long-handled spoons.

{Empty Medicine Bottle Card} One card contains one hundred empty crystal medicine bottles.

Although crucibles and long-handled spoons don't require long periods of soaking before use like kitchen utensils, farm tools, and cleaning tools, and can be replaced at any time, having a card makes them more convenient to carry.

Moran doesn't know spatial magic yet, so he can't create spatial cards that can store everything. He can only rely on the card's function of storing card items to make it easier to carry various tools with him.

They are all ordinary brass crucibles, and the production cost is not high.

The other little witches also selectively bought a cauldron card.

Most of them are small crucible cards; those with good alchemy magic talent buy combination cards.

The potion bottle card is not available for purchase by the little witch; it's a consumable item, and the academy provides free empty potion bottles.

After equipping the small cauldron and long-handled spoon from the card, the little witch began brewing a healing potion.

Those who can convert water elemental power to clean can directly clean the crucible with the Cleanse spell; those who cannot can use the Spring of Purification spell to rinse the crucible and then wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

From cleaning the crucible to adding a vial of pure water to it, Moran did not encounter any problems.

But when it came to controlling the magic to extract the essence of the sap of the herb, she hesitated.

She had only watched from afar as Lady Amisha concocted the potion, and had no clear view of what the essence of the sapwort actually looked like.

There is no sap grass on Earth, nor are there any films or television shows related to it.

The memories of Earth in Moran's mind were of absolutely no help.

This time, like the other little witches, she had to rely entirely on her imagination to control her magic.
