The Legacy System

Approaching the table with the materials and all the equipment, he firstly took all the nettles from there and slowly removed all the leaves away from their stalk.

He had decided that first, he would try concocting the low-quality Health potion, as it was the easiest and required also fewer herbs than the others.

He was attentive not to damage them, nor the stalk as they both had their unique uses later, as he placed the leaves into a porcelain mortar to crush them later with a pestle.

  In the meantime, he also separated the leaves of the clove from the stalk, as he placed them into honeyed milk for them to sweeten and soften.

While this was the first time he was processing these herbs his moves were really calm and precise. There was no extra movement used while he processed all the herbs in there one by one.

When all the herbs were processed and ready to be used he took a small aluminum pot as he filled it with the cloves of honeyed milk, and opened the gas stove at 90-degree heat.

All his actions were based on the recipe and he was careful to not neglect even a single coma from the recipe as this was his first time concocting and he wanted to succeed on his first try.

He was slowly mixing the ingredients, as he added the additions one by one, as a soft medicine smell was being created inside the room.

Sensing this smell, Eric immediately closed the pot using its special lid, as he started using his spirit power to spread the heat through all the pot.

Normally an alchemist would do all this using his own fire, and there were instructions on how to awaken the alchemic fire, but that would take a little bit of time.

Since everything had happened so fast Tianlong Yun had been unable to practice it. Yet Tianlong Yun wasn't completely in the wrong as the first stage was getting used to the fire.

Feeling the fire, how it burned and understanding the process and how it happened so he could use that knowledge in shaping his inside energy, his Qi, into such a fire.

It wasn't easy to give birth to the alchemic fire, as not all the cultivators or strong people could be alchemists.

In fact, only a small part of them, not more than 3% were able to give birth to the alchemic fire, as most of the alchemists used specialized cauldrons or other sources of heat.

Of course, Eric had no way how to know about this, as he was really concentrated on what he was doing. It wasn't easy as he had to pay real attention to the fire, and how it spread through the pot.

He didn't care about the heat, or the sweat dripping from his body, and face, what he cared about was to understand the fire.

In his mind it was totally necessary for him to give birth to his alchemic fire in order to become a good alchemist, so he was using every cell of his brain to concentrate on the fire on his hands.

His approach was probably different from the one of the cultivators of the Immortal World since his approach was more scientific.

He knew how the fire happened scientifically, or what fire was in terms of science, the problem wasn't there, the problem for him was to understand the connection between his Qi and the fire.

In fact, there was already an opinion on his head, what if he used his internal energy, his Qi in place of the oxygen what would happen!

Of course, he also needed to think of the trigger, but he could cause a small explosion of his Qi as the spark that would set it on fire.

He was really happy at this idea he gave birth in his mind, but he couldn't use it immediately, as he first had to concentrate on finishing what he had in his hands.

It didn't take long though, because 30 minutes were enough for the potions to start forming, and his hard work started paying, as he immediately cut the flame, and took the bottles he had prepared.

These were special bottles that he had bought from the system at 1SP for 10 of them. He didn't think he would be able to find them outside, since they had a small formation inscribed at the end.

The small inscription gave them more stability, and solidity, to better preserve the potion inside them. Their lids were also one-use because once opened the potion effects would fall exponentially.

In fact, an alchemist had to be extremely careful with the potions since they had to pour it into the containers in less than 2 minutes after it was prepared.

Without losing any precious second, Eric quickly opened the lid and was immediately greeted with the view of a green liquid inside the pot.

While he had filled it to the brim earlier, right now there was only enough to fill 3 or 4 potion bottles. He didn't lose time in looking at his produce as he quickly started filling the small potion bottles.

The liquid was still a bit hot, and it needed a bit of time to cool down and take his true golden-green color, so Eric just placed them over the table as he decided to try his earlier thought.

Eric had gotten a bit used to that truck inside his meridians that got bigger with each circular drive. But now he had to use a part of it, and transport it outside of his body.

Eric easily took separated that into two parts, as one part was still circulating through his meridians while the other was directed towards his left hand.

While it was a bit difficult sending it on his left hand, Eric still achieved it rather quickly, but now he had to face the biggest problem, getting it outside of his hand.

It felt weird, really weird after all something was leaving his body when there was clearly a membrane stopping it.

In his previous life, his Qi was secured through the system, and he only had to use one button click on his mind to use his Qi in whatever he needed to do.

He could clearly do the same in this case, but that would be depending on the system too much. If he wanted to become the strongest, he had to learn and understand everything by himself.

For that reason, he was stubbornly trying to do it himself, even though it felt like he was taking blood out of his hand.

Each try was painful, really painful. But he didn't give up, quite on the contrary he would try each time more stubbornly.

Not because he was a masochist, or because he liked pain, but because he could feel that he was making improvement with every single try.

His hand had turned red and purple, but he didn't give up, as finally in the end he felt a bit of his internal energy get out of his hand, as it slowly turned into some kind of a small spinning tornado.

At this point in time sweat was freely coming out of his body and he felt like he had just taken a cold shower, as the sweat started drying once again on his body.

While he would love to try and fire his Qi, and give birth to his alchemic fire, he felt like he was unable to do it in his current conditions as he still needed to work a bit harder, and understand Qi better.

With these thoughts, he once again absorbed that Qi inside his body, as he took off his t-shirt, and dried the sweat on his body.

With that taken care of he took the herbs for the low-quality Body Tempering Liquid and started processing the herbs.

While the herbs and the process were a bit different he still had a bit of experience now, and he was more confident of himself on reaching a good result.

Like this, the time slowly passed, as Eric continued with the concoction, and would only stop resting after he had successfully gone one round of the three recipes.

He stopped his concoction only when he felt like he would collapse from exhaustion if he continued any longer.

He had completed four rounds of the three recipes and had concocted 18 bottles of potion, with an average of 3.5 bottles per concoction.

This was a more than a good result for Eric who was concocting something for the first time, but still, he expected more from himself.

All the potions could be said to be of good quality but compared to the ones he got from the system they were still a far length away.

He needed to practice a lot in order to make potions of the same quality, but he was happy because it was still reachable.

He also had made a lot of progress in his Qi fire comprehension, as he was getting closer and closer to giving birth to his alchemic flame.

Actually, the true Qi flame wasn't only used in alchemy, but also in other fields like weapons crafting, inscriptions, and formation setting, but he still had a lot to learn about.

In fact, he was hoping that when he would be close to ascension to the Immortal World, the system would provide him with some kind of encyclopedia of information.

That was all to the future though as right now he had other things to think about, for example, the fact that he was almost completely naked, and there wasn't much air left inside the room.

Realizing his situation, he immediately activated the air conditioner, and called for Old Na inside, while instructing him to send someone to find him some new clothes…
