Aizen looked at the two plants, with a grave expression. He couldn't find many Sunflowers or Eoflollas, so he couldn't fail very often.
'Well, let's get started.' There wasn't a specific recipe for this potion, so he'd have to figure it out. He would try to make the potion using the usual method.
First, he put the Eoflolla in the cauldron. Surprisingly, Eoflolla took over 1 minute to dissolve. Then he placed the Sunflower, which took the same amount of time as Eoflolla to dissolve. After that, he stirred the liquid in the cauldron.

[Potion failed]
Aizen received the system notification. His expression turned thoughtful.
'The usual method doesn't work…' Even after using rainbow energy, the potion could not be made. He then decided to try another method.

[Potion failed]
…
'Why?'
-
[Potion failed]
'What am I doing wrong?!' It was already his third failure. Now, he has only 3 attempts left. He couldn't succeed, because Sunflower couldn't mix with Eoflolla, it was similar to oil and water.
'Maybe the high pressure…' Aizen had a sudden idea. Eoflolla and Sunflower can be forced to mix under high pressure. However, he could not do this experiment in this room.
-
Aizen went in an open field, with no people to bother him. He would do his experiment there. First, he strengthened the cauldron's resistance using magic matrices. He wasn't sure if this would work, but it was a worthwhile attempt. After adding water to the cauldron, he increased the temperature of the water.
'Well, maybe it's better to use rainbow energy now.' He injected rainbow energy into the water, causing it to emit a spectacular glow. He threw the plants into the water and closed the cauldron.
Dense mana emanated from Aizen's body. He used the element of air to increase the pressure inside the cauldron.
*BOOMMM!*
The cauldron began to shake. Aizen continued to increase the pressure.
-
'It worked out?' After a few minutes, he decided to check if the experiment had worked.

The system warning revealed a smile on Aizen's face.

'It's still not enough…' He thought. The negative effect of the potion was very problematic, no one would drink a potion that could kill him.
'Maybe I can lessen the negative effect using Laceflower…'
Aizen had an idea that might work. Maybe using Laceflower and other plants that could lessen body damage, the power potion's negative effect could decrease. He took other plants and decided to go back to his experiments.
Only 2 attempts left.

When the star was already setting, Aizen was still with his mind sunk in his experiments.

'Perfect!' Aizen looked at the information with a satisfied expression. The negative effect was quite weak when compared to the previous one. He was sure this potion would sell a lot, especially among players.
'Now I can focus on my second objective.' He was also thinking about making magic scrolls.
Magic scrolls are scrolls that contain stored spells. Anyone could use the spells stored in the magic scroll, even if they didn't know about magic. Also, they are usually worth a lot of money.
To make a scroll, it was necessary to program a spell into the scroll using magic matrices. People who work making scrolls are called Enchanters.
'This time I'm playing at home.' His knowledge of magical matrices is quite significant.

*Sigh!*
Aizen sat on the floor, with a tired expression. He didn't mind the system ads as he was used to it. He had gone several days without proper sleep, his mind was heavy. He wasn't tired from lack of energy, but he was tired mentally.
He lay down on the green lawn and closed his eyes, without realizing it, he ended up falling into the Dream Realm.
