Chapter 123: Potions And Potion Holder

Arthur needed to prioritize making the potions since the raw materials he had weren't exactly stable. They would deteriorate the longer they were kept and lose their effects.
This was a common thing with many fresh ingredients and they needed to be processed to be kept for a longer time. It was a limitation that took some equipment and work to overcome, but for the start it was fine to use them as it is.
"Welcome, how may I help you?" At the potion shop, a young man greeted Arthur.
He looked to be eighteen or nineteen and was clearly not the owner of the shop.
"I would like to buy some small potion vials as well as wish to use the potioneer's workbench," Arthur replied.
"While I can sell the potion vials, I cannot personally give you the missioner to use the workbench. I'll have to ask Master about it first." The young man replied.
It was confirmed from his words that the young man was just an assistant at the shop.
"Sure, I'll wait." Arthur replied.
"Gimme five minutes," the assistant said before going back inside.
While he was gone, Arthur took a look around the shop. There were many items in the shop that ranged from dried potion ingredients, things kept in various vials, suspicious looking fluids that seemed to be wiggling in flasks, and other potioneering equipment.
~Creak~
The door opened again, announcing the assistant's return.
"You can use the workshop for 2 silver." The assistant stated.
"Sure," Arthur replied knowing that it was less than buying potions outright.
"As for the small potion vials, they are about twenty coppers for each vial." The assistant added.
"I'll take five then." Arthur said taking out three silver coins. "Here you go." He handed the coins.
"Thank you." The assistant kept the coins before handing Arthur five small potion vials.
These were one of the basic things one needed to make potions and store them. Without them, one wouldn't be able to take their potions everywhere and be ready to use.
"You can use the workshop in the next room." The assistant showed Arthur the place.
He opened another door to the left and revealed a room that was about half the size of the shop. Here, one could see a work table along with various potioneering equipment.
"This'll be more than enough." Arthur said as he got to work.
The process of making the potion was rather simple as all he needed was a mortar and pestle for now.
He quickly got to work and took out the materials he had gathered.
Arthur placed the Dew berries into the mortar and pestle first while keeping the Large Trunel Gerbil galls to the side,
He started to pound the berries using the pestle until they had turned into a puree.
Once that was done, he took a fine sieve and poured the puree through it into all the vials equally.
"Is it your first time making potions?" the assistant who had been watching him was surprised.
"Mmm… not exactly." Arthur replied.
"Your hands are so stable. It took me a while to get over the nervousness, haha." The assistant chuckled.
"Just needs some practice," Arthur replied though he knew that it was probably his stats that were helping here too.
The Dexterity stat was involved in a lot of occupations that needed fine and controlled work. Whether it be potioneering, blacksmithing or art, all benefited from having good dexterity.
Done with the Dew berries, Arthur worked on the gall bladders next. With them, all he needed to do was to puncture the bladders and pour out the fluid into the vials.
The assistant who saw Arthur do this was surprised.
'What is that?' the man couldn't recognize the ingredient.
It was normal since it would take quite some time for the players to discover this recipe for this healing potion in the future.
Once Arthur was done pouring the fluid, he closed the vials and shook them rapidly.
The green color of the dew berry juice and the dark green color of the bile mixed together and seemingly reacted. A few seconds later, the color changed before turning a vibrant leaf green in color!
