Alchemy Aura

A few days later, Fran watched in a rented, empty house as liquid and gas mixed in a reactor, spewing out wisps of purple smoke, before flowing through a specially designed one-way pipe into a designated container.

Then Fran went to the side of this container, opened the valves of the two other containers adjacent to it, and channeled her Mental Power into them. The pipes inside began to provide power, causing the contents to rush towards the last container.

Ultimately, through Fran's Harmonization Method, the three items instantly transformed into a green liquid, shimmering with a faint golden Radiance.

This is the First Order alchemical product, the Life Replenishment Potion, that Fran is making; it can be considered a true 'red health potion'.

The moment Fran created this alchemical artifact, she immediately poured the liquids into an opaque black bottle.

This is a medicine bottle specifically used to store this Life Replenishment Potion.

As Fran poured the Life Replenishment Potion down, the surface of the black potion bottle abruptly changed color, turning from black to green.

Fran had concocted a bit too much Life Replenishment Potion this time. She stopped when she saw the green liquid reach the narrow mouth of the bottle.

Fran looked at the remaining green liquid, which still shimmered with a few golden lights, but these golden lights were becoming increasingly scarce.

Fran didn't want to waste it, so she drank the green liquid down her throat. As soon as it touched her mouth, the liquid dissolved and disappeared, leaving only a golden light behind.

The golden light entered the nearest living being, and Fran immediately felt her vitality increase, the fatigue from refining potions for so long being swept away.

Her depleted Mental Power also began to recover somewhat; this was the Life Replenishment Potion, which directly replenishes your life force regardless of your injuries.

This vitality boost also has the effect of a Energy Potion without side effects, and can directly relieve fatigue, allowing the body to quickly restore Mental Power.

Due to issues with materials and the refining process, the price of this Life Replenishment Potion has remained high in the market, at approximately nine Gold Coin per 100 milliliters.

After performing calculations and measurements, Fran discovered that she had concocted approximately 850 milliliters of Life Replenishment Potion.

The materials and equipment she used to concoct the potion cost 37 Gold Coin, which made her raise an eyebrow; she was actually making a lot of money.

Her tools were reusable, and the total cost of all the materials was 20 Gold Coin, though it was nowhere near as profitable as the Fran had run during her apprenticeship.

However, Life Replenishment Potion are more expensive. If we compare the two methods and assume that every single one can be sold, Life Replenishment Potion are still the way to make money faster.

Moreover, Fran can refine this potion much faster than ordinary people who make such potions, because she uses an advanced modular refining process.

She divided the refining process into several parts. For example, she specifically calculated the reaction time required for the three time-limited raw materials and put them into the process for conversion within a specific time.

Her method makes it easy to control the time and the input of each material, because she calculates the input ratio and time of each material through experiments before starting.

It could be said that her method was very advanced for the people of this world, because although the idea was simple, people from another world who had never seen it before simply wouldn't understand it.

When they were refining Life Replenishment Potion, they relied entirely on hand-rubbing the ingredients. Although there was a step of testing semi-finished products beforehand, mistakes would occur if one was not skilled enough, since each ingredient was hand-rubbed.

Furthermore, the refining time is very tight, and there are often situations where too much of a certain material is added, or the reaction time is too long, resulting in some materials being wasted.

It's not that Fran is smarter than the people from the other world in this respect; it's just that the people from the other world don't have this kind of thinking.

The Alchemist here are accustomed to handling every material, believing that this allows them to extract what they need from it more effectively; they adhere to this theory.

"This method of mine seems like it could be the subject of another Paper." Fran scratched her head and then looked at her Panel.

[You have completed the creation of First Order alchemical artifact. Alchemy proficiency +200]

[Alchemy (Exceptional) (Proficiency: 13063): You have mastered alchemy in a broad sense and are very familiar with creating alchemical objects.]

The reason she achieved an extraordinary level of proficiency in alchemy was that she spent some time conducting experiments on an apprentice-level alchemical creation, directly writing the law of conservation of energy on it.

After she wrote this Paper, her alchemy proficiency increased by more than 20,000, which greatly surprised her.

But just as she was about to continue and write down the other laws of thermodynamics, she discovered that even if she wrote them all down, it wouldn't improve her Alchemy in the slightest.

After some thought, she realized that the problem lay with the Panel's judgment, not with anything else.

Her Panel can only record those Arts that are considered 'extraordinary' in this world, while ordinary Arts and those Arts that Fran used to have on Earth are not recorded on this Panel.

For example, Fran can display certain Combat Technique on the Panel, such as XX swordsmanship, but she cannot display a swordsmanship without a prefix, because that is not 'extraordinary' at all.

The science Fran learned in her previous life wasn't truly 'extraordinary'; it was just that its principles were similar to those of the truly 'extraordinary'.

And in all of alchemy, the law of conservation of energy happens to be followed, though this may not even be entirely accurate.

The other laws of thermodynamics are basically derived purely theoretically, and they focus on the key point of 'heat,' which is somewhat unrelated to Alchemy.

That's why Fran's alchemy skill didn't increase her proficiency; you've listed it under a different area, so it's no wonder the Panel doesn't show any increase.

Unless Fran provides a detailed argument in her Paper demonstrating an extremely close connection between 'heat' and alchemy, the Panel will never grant her any proficiency.

Fran put those thoughts aside and looked at the update status on the Panel.

[Name: Fran

Profession: Alchemist (One Star)...(omitted)

Attributes: Constitution: 10.1, Spirit: 15.6

Arts:...(omitted)

Trait: Alchemy Aura (When you use alchemy, there is a certain probability that the following effects will occur: 1. Alchemical creations undergo positive changes; 2. The success rate of creation is increased; 3. The success rate of special alchemical spells reaches 100%).

The probability depends on your familiarity with the subject and your proficiency in Alchemy when you use it. (...(omitted))

Fran wasn't surprised to see this trait, as she had expected the Alchemist to ultimately provide a trait that enhanced production.

If she chooses the Alchemy School of magic, she will likely gain a specialization that enhances Alchemy School.

This is one of the reasons why she chose the Profession of Alchemist rather than a mage from the Alchemy School.

Although the points allocated to her Spirit attribute show that even if Fran didn't have such a high Spirit attribute now, the Profession wouldn't give her many points for Spirit.

However, she doesn't really need spirit attribute points now, because her spirit attribute is already higher than 99.99% of mages, so she doesn't really need it.

Instead of wasting time stacking up so many spirit attributes, it would be better to directly seek attribute points for advancement.

In comparison, the productivity trait granted by the Alchemist is probably more useful to her, since she might encounter things in the future that require alchemical creations.

However, Fran already knew about the first two of the three effects of this trait, and could find relevant information in the preparation of many alchemical artifacts, but what did the third effect mean?

Fran thought for a moment before connecting the matter to the title of a certain Paper.

Fran's eyes lit up, and she began to search through her collection of selected books, which she had pushed quite high. Fran pulled out a thin booklet from the middle and turned to a page by memory.

This page presents an article titled "Several Examples of Miracle Alchemy".

Fran took a closer look and saw that the author of this paper was still Iris. She thought to herself that Iris had really written quite a few Paper.

While browsing the recommended Paper on these curated selections, she saw quite a few Paper authored by Iris, almost all Paper which were about Alchemy School, and many of them introduced some basic knowledge of Alchemy School.

After carefully reading the introduction in this selection, Fran rubbed her fingers on the pages for a while, then scratched her head.

The Miracle Alchemy described above surprised her somewhat; if she had to find a term to describe it, it would be 'card drawing'.

This type of alchemy involves directly inputting materials and then using a Arts called Miracle Alchemy to fuse these materials in a relatively short Arts.

No specific materials or procedures are required. By using this Miracle Alchemy for a short period of time, there is a chance to obtain an alchemical product called a ' Wonder Item '.

There are no rules to follow in the crafting of these ' Wonder Item '; it's purely a matter of drawing cards. Even if you prepare the exact same items, you'll still get different results—not just possible, but certain.

Because different Wonder Item can be used to create the same Wonder Item, but no two Wonder Item can ever be created from the same materials, this Miracle Alchemy is simply a gacha system.

In ancient times, before the mainstream alchemy of today became popular, this Miracle Alchemy flourished.

Alchemist had also had enough of the uncertainty of gacha pulls, and when the current alchemy system was just starting out, they all turned to the mainstream alchemy system.

Any research into this Miracle Alchemy focuses on how to increase the success rate or how to obtain the desired ' Wonder Item ' through specific combinations.

Iris's Paper is similar, using several examples to explain how to apply the principles of this Miracle Alchemy.
