Chapter 32 Eve's Teachings

"It's time," Li Ang murmured to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He planned to refine a basic lung-healing potion tonight to completely eradicate this hidden danger. He took stock of his assets, which included the earnings from the commissions he had completed in the past few days, plus his previous surplus, totaling 20 silver coins and 35 copper coins.

Even if he obtained the materials at cost price within the workshop, it would still require 10 silver coins to refine a lung healing potion, which was almost half of his entire fortune.

The most crucial and expensive ingredient, Moonmoss Extract, costs 8 silver coins per drop. This extract, containing a faint regenerative power, is typically used to treat severe physical wounds, and is even rumored to be able to reattach severed limbs.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Li Ang decided to consult with his mentor Eve before taking action. Although the process and key points were recorded in "Basic Potions," the success rate of such a difficult potion would undoubtedly increase if he could get some guidance from his mentor.

He still didn't see Lottie in the cafeteria, but judging from the fact that her room was cleaned every day, she should be fine. After a quick dinner, he went to his mentor Eve's workshop again.

The workshop remained quiet. "At this hour, Instructor Eve should still be in her room, right?" Li Ang thought to himself.

Fortunately, I had asked about Ginny Eve's address beforehand.

Li Ang walked easily to the innermost part of the workshop, where there was an even more antique dark wooden door carved with intricate ice crystal patterns.

He took a deep breath and pressed the silver badge on his chest into an inconspicuous groove next to the door.

With a flash of light, the door slid open silently, revealing the familiar floating platform behind it.

Stepping onto the platform, the door opened again without anyone noticing, revealing a circular corridor with only one door in front of you.

Li Ang knocked on the door somewhat nervously. After all, although his mentor Eve had said he could ask questions, she had also said not to ask stupid questions. Li Ang wasn't sure if the potion-making process was considered a stupid question, since it might be the simplest thing for her.

The door opened silently, and a faint scent of mint, mixed with a hint of sweetness, wafted out.

Before me was an extremely elegant and comfortable room. A thick silver-gray carpet covered the floor, the walls were a soft off-white, and several elegantly designed lamps emitted a gentle glow.

One side of the room features a bookshelf that covers an entire wall, while the other side has a large, soft velvet sofa and a small coffee table.

Teacher Eve was reclining on the sofa, wearing a comfortable silk robe, her long, light blue hair casually draped over her shoulders.

She was engrossed in reading a thick book. Hearing the noise, she slightly raised her eyelids, her light blue eyes glancing at Li Ang. There was no displeasure at being disturbed, only a hint of inquiry.

"Good evening, Ms. Eve. I apologize for disturbing your rest." Li Ang bowed respectfully.

"Come here and talk." Eve's voice remained cool and indifferent, her gaze returning to the pages of the book in her hands.

"I plan to refine a [Basic Lung Healing Potion]. I have memorized the steps recorded in the book, but there are some details I would like to ask you about."

Li Ang briefly explained his purpose.

When Eve heard Li Ang mention "lung healing potion," she looked up from the book again, glanced at Li Ang, and seemed to take a slight look at his slightly thin figure and unhealthy complexion.

"Sit down." She gestured to the single sofa next to her.

Li Ang sat down as instructed, leaning slightly forward, behaving as obediently as a primary school student.

Eve closed the book in her hand, casually placed it on the armrest of the sofa, and began to explain. Her language remained concise, yet went straight to the point, clearly explaining the several error-prone time points in the fusion stage, the guidance and control of mental energy, and how to judge the signs of perfect drug combination.

Li Ang listened intently, afraid of missing a single detail, since it involved half of his assets and whether they would just go down the drain.

During Eve's pause, Li Ang's gaze inadvertently swept over the cover of the book she had casually placed on the armrest.

It wasn't the profound potion tome or spellbook he had imagined, but rather a beautifully bound book with a fancy title: "Starlight Knight and Her Seven Little Friends."

Li Ang: "..."

He almost thought he was seeing things and blinked instinctively.

Yes, that's the title. The cover features a female knight in a gorgeous dress-like armor, surrounded by seven bipedal cats dressed in various outfits.

Seemingly noticing Li Ang's momentary pause and extremely subtle emotional fluctuation, Instructor Eve glanced at him with her light blue eyes, then lightly swept her gaze over the book cover. Her face remained expressionless, but her tone seemed to carry a hint of embarrassment. "Don't worry about it, it's just to pass the time."

Li Ang immediately composed himself, focusing his attention on his own thoughts, and solemnly replied, "Yes, mentor. This book seems quite interesting." But inwardly, a storm was brewing. So this seemingly otherworldly mentor actually reads fantasy knight novels?

The hint of embarrassment in Eve's voice quickly disappeared, as if it had never existed, and she continued to finish explaining the last point.

"Thank you for your guidance, mentor." Li Ang memorized all the information, stood up, and bowed respectfully again.

"Hmm." Eve waved lazily, indicating that he could leave. Only after confirming that Li Ang's footsteps had completely disappeared did she pick up her novel again.

Leon walked out of his mentor Eve's living room. With his mentor's guidance, his confidence increased. There was still some time before the apprentices were to use the medicine, so he decided to refine the lung healing potion tonight.

After registering with his badge at the workshop, he carefully took out the precious material worth 10 silver coins, especially the drop of Moonlight Moss Extract, which shimmered with a soft, moon-white light in a tiny crystal bottle.

First, I used the [Black Stone Grinding Bowl], which I had upgraded to LV2 a few days ago, to prepare stone root grass powder and white crystal powder. The so-called white crystal powder is actually a finer crystal sand, which needs to be about 1000 mesh, while 500 mesh is enough for crystal sand.

Then, use the [Water Creation] spell to gather magical purified water, and further improve its quality using the [Rune Distiller Lv1].

After completing the preparations, Li Ang lit the [Magic Heat Furnace Lv1] and poured the prepared distilled water into the [High-Quality Crystal Crucible Lv1]...

He was completely focused on every step, using his mental energy to subtly perceive every change in the medicinal liquid through the crucible, and precisely controlling the temperature of the [Magic Heat Furnace].

When that precious drop of moonshoe moss extract fell into the crucible, the entire liquid inside seemed to come alive, radiating a dreamlike moon-white halo.

Li Ang immediately followed Eve's instructions, using the silver stirring rod to stir repeatedly at a specific frequency. Time passed slowly, and a strange medicinal fragrance filled the workshop.
