Potion

The pharmacist saw a child enter her shop but she didn't think too much of it.

It wasn't something strange as kids would normally run some errands for their parents.

As long as the medicine or materials they are purchasing wasn't something dangerous, she wouldn't mind selling them to the kids.

She finished serving the customers who arrived first before she attended the young boy.

"Ma'am Clementine, I would like to sell something?"

"Oh, you know my name…" Clementine smiled as she instinctively took the paper that the boy handed. Their pharmacy was quite known for buying rare medicinal herbs and other materials that can help in making medicines.

Because of this, she wasn't too surprised that someone wanted to sell something inside her shop.

She read the paper for a moment but she became a bit confused. She tried reading it again to ensure that she didn't miss anything.

Finally, she understood the content of the paper and its potential value if everything written here is true…

"This writing… Is it yours?"

"Yes…" Kaiden answered.

"You're still young but you can already write many difficult words... Ahh, where did you get this?"

Clementine was quite impressed but she made sure that the contents of the paper were indeed from this young boy.

Of course, Kaiden already thought of a lie before he came here. He obviously can't reveal that the concoction method for the medicine he revealed was something that was invented in the future. He also couldn't say that he discovered alone this since he was still too young.

"It's from my grandfather. He said that this medicine is only passed down from our family's lineage. However, we really needed some money now, so I have to sell this secret medicine… Please, can you give me a good price for selling this?"

It may not be the best reason but what he wanted to say is that no one knows about this medicine aside from their family.

He may not sound convincing, but this should be enough.

Clementine thought for a while as she needed to know whether the medicine was real or just a fake…

"Heidi, close the shop…"

"Huh?"

"We're close for now. We'll try to see if this is true… I want to see it for myself."

"Alright, mother…"

Heidi looked at her sister, Nerissa, as they both smiled wryly. Every time their mother found an interesting medicine or was in a mood to concoct one, she would always close the shop and will only be opened after her curiosity was satisfied.

"Mother, can I take a look at that paper?"

Nerissa requested as her interest was piqued. Her mother is the best Pharmacist in the city and she's not so easily satisfied with things related to medicine. She always seeks perfection in her career.

What Kaiden was trying to sell to Clementine wasn't a groundbreaking medicine but a very useful potion that many would seek especially those who wanted to be a scholar…

It is called Memory Enhancement Potion. It is a potion that can help in improving memory and information retention.

The reason he chose this was due to the ingredients that can be easily found in the city…

As a matter of fact, Kaiden wouldn't be surprised if this Pharmacy already has the complete ingredients…

Apparently, Kaiden was right…

"Oh… Only these few ingredients?" Heidi was quite surprised after reading the recipe on the paper.

[ Memory Enhancement Potion

Main Ingredients:

- 1 dream sassafras

- 3 star grass

Supplementary Ingredients:

- 1 batch of dried avens

- 3 dashes of jade galingale

- 3 teaspoons of ocean salt

- 2 sprinkles of bittermace root

- 4 pinches of witch's lovage ]

The amount wasn't accurately mentioned like what she was used to but after reading the method of concoction, Nerissa understood the reason. As long as the 2 main ingredients were present, they shouldn't have problems making the potion…

Kaiden waited for the pharmacists to create the potion. He trusts the old lady so he wasn't worrying at all…

Heidi even offered a cup of tea while he was waiting at the side…

Finally, after almost an hour of waiting, Madam Clementine confirmed the authenticity of the potion!

"This is quite an amazing medicine… Although this is an uncommon one, the method of creation was approached differently, it's very inspiring…"

Kaiden smiled as he already expected that the Pharmacist would give positive feedback about this…

After all, the potion was one of the creations of the first Awakened Players who chose an ability called "Pure Alchemy." Anyone who selected this ability during the Awakening Process would have a great affinity with inventing potions even without learning their 1st-Tier Abilities…

In terms of combat ability, his "Transformation Arts" before was on par with the people who selected this ability.

It may not be very useful in combat, but it greatly helps the people who are fighting in the front lines…

"So, how much are you trying to sell this?" Clementine asked after seeing that Kaiden only smiled.

"How much are you willing to offer?" Kaiden asked as he truly has no idea about the value of this potion at this time…

"Haha… Very well… I'm willing to purchase this for 300 gold coins. However, you shouldn't sell this recipe to others for a year or so… I needed you to be bounded by a contract…"

"Mhmm… I don't mind being bound by a contract. However, I wanted the amount to be increased. How about 500 gold coins?"

"400 gold coins… That's already a lot… This potion can only be sold for about 30 bronze a piece… I also needed to earn money."

"Alright…"

Kaiden accepted the offer just like that. After all, the true purpose for his visit was to make the health potion…

Heidi then brought the contract and he read it thoroughly. After he confirmed that there are no problems, he signed with his name.

Whoosh~

The paper slowly dissolved in the air and became Mana as it went to Kaiden and the ladies' body…

The contract was complete… If he sold the recipe to the others within the timeframe they have agreed on, he would have to suffer the consequences. Of course, it is the same for Clementine and her daughters, they can't resell the recipe and earn a larger profit from it. They can only distribute the product potion.

At the very least, it is up to them how much they will sell the product…

"Haha… It doesn't feel like I'm negotiating with a young boy… Aren't you a bit too smart for your young age?"

"Of course not… I just like to read books. Thank you again for buying the recipe…"

He finally has a connection with this Pharmacy... It would be easier for him later on as he would need their help in various tasks to help him increase his strength faster.

Nevertheless, Kaiden didn't bring up the topic of the health potion yet… He plans to collect the ingredients by himself first and just visit here once he has prepared everything.
