"Alright..."
Diao, slightly embarrassed, looked down and avoided Li Ang’s gaze, repeatedly making small, high-frequency motions to pound the medicine, producing a series of muffled sounds from the small mortar.
Seeing him approach, the white-haired girl immediately lowered her head.
"It’s alright, I’ll make one myself."
However, after turning off the heat, Diao took out a container resembling a gourd, made from a hollowed fruit, and poured its liquid into the crucible.
"Make?" Diao exclaimed, surprised.
Her voice was barely audible, a mysterious anxiety leading to a faint pink across her neck, her wolf ears shivering slightly, unable to hide anything.
The crushed herbs were processed with an extraction, then heated over fire in the crucible, with dried additional ingredients and harmonizing supplements added. She used honey, a common and easily accessible neutral material, and soon the mixture in the crucible formed a mass, seemingly ready to be molded into pills for the finished product.

"That’s a really good potion." Li Ang remarked about Diao’s crafted vitality potion.
Alchemy has many categories, but mainly divides into Potion Alchemy and Transformation Alchemy, which when elevated to higher levels, even touch upon the laws of life creation.
[A traditional potion crafted from ancient methods, comparable in effect to modern alchemy medicines]
Li Ang took a deep breath, savoring the fragrance of medicine and honey, and glanced at the system’s prompt.
Both her original and altered selves might struggle to understand, Li Ang’s craftsmanship skills enhanced by the system defy logic.
Li Ang walked from Diao’s tent towards Andasu, the beast-eared maiden working on mechanical parts yet surreptitiously glancing in their direction.
[Effect: Enhances energy recovery rate]
"May I use your tools?"
"Do you have any extra alchemy containers?" he asked.
Diao, with her altered memories, appears to be a mocked countryside girl, explaining her awkward attempt at fitting into fashion resulting in an even more outdated appearance.
Learning professional skills directly through the system is just a click away, but he needs to improve his Alchemy tier well to use the Chamber of Ouroboros, though he hadn’t found the time to start before.
Seeing Li Ang’s eyes land on her braids, Diao assumed he was impressed and shook her head smilingly, displaying them.
A few seconds later, she entered a state of immersion, her hands moving more steadily, no longer affected by Li Ang’s attention.
"I just need the heater and anvil."
It’s not a primary combat profession, and the system doesn’t define what advancing to the highest level achieves, only offering some arcane "possibilities."
[Profession: Alchemy]
"They know too little about the essence of the world," Li Ang shook his head, "Potions aren’t luxury goods just meant to look pretty on the shelf in fancy bottles. When truly needed, nobody cares how they look. Your product is effective, and that’s enough."

"N-no problem!"
"Ah, no, these are all brought from my hometown, they probably don’t fit with the school’s teachings..."
Suddenly, the turbid liquid flowed in, melting the waxy medicine, turning into a dirty, sticky medicinal soup.
[Tier: 1. Next level: 3/100 experience]
In the early stages of an adventurer’s life, everyone values various potions greatly, even by mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, alchemy potions remain useful as consumables. However, over-reliance on potions harms growth, so those with a strong-hearted nature will consciously avoid potions in the latter mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm.
Li Ang sighed inwardly, deciding to find a suitable opportunity to talk to her.
With her intrinsic qualities, simply being herself would be better than her current state.
Andasu hurriedly cleared her workbench, seemingly ready to sweep her belongings aside to make space for him, which Li Ang quickly stopped her from doing.
Previously, he hadn’t thought to advance in Alchemy because most alchemy medicines are useless at the Excellence Realm, and the talented young girls aboard the ship would quickly reach a level where potions aren’t necessary.
After selecting Alchemy, Equipment Creation triggered linkage, unlocking blueprints for crafting rare alchemy items, and he wasn’t short of materials now.
"Li Ang, what do you need?" Andasu asked, head lowered.
Being in the academy now, he could begin with Alchemy.
Initially, Alchemy is mostly equivalent to potion crafting. It looks simple but gradually accumulates and manifests the mysteries within the entire alchemy.
Since visiting the Alaphia Family, he received various materials, including minerals from the Dwarf Kingdom, partly as a gift and partly as a clever exchange.

"Really? The instructor and classmates laugh at my, uh, rustic medicine."
"White Wolf Prince" in this demeanor, if seen by her supporters, it would certainly be a surprise.
He had already crafted a handy forging hammer, stored in the Transcendent Treasure Vault for easy access, even possessing a Magic Furnace, but alchemical instruments require different firepower. Instead, Andasu’s Flame Spray Gun could work as a substitute.
