It was only lunchtime when Jason finally entered the alchemy he rented and looking at the whole room, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The tools only released a minuscule amount of mana, while the room itself felt as if it was constructed with mana drained materials, causing him to lament lightly.
However, there was more than enough space for him to take out his own tools and equipment which radiated dense mana, as they were made out of high-quality ingredients that passively supported and amplified the whole concocting process.
It was only a small support, but it was definitely better than nothing, which was the case with the tools within the Basic-alchemy room.
Placing the perennial boxes next to each other on the table in front of him, with the other ingredients behind, Jason sorted everything in the correct order which would make the whole brewing process much easier.
He didn't even have to open up the perennial boxes because he could see the herbs outlines thanks to his eyes, allowing them to remain their high quality until the very last moment.
There were not many herbs and ingredients required, with pure neutral magic crystal shards being the cheapest out of them.
Meanwhile, the most expensive ingredient which was also the most important and main ingredient was the Crimson nebulus zanghe, even if it was only a baby-fist-sized plant.
It released a dense blood-hue and Jason couldn't help but admire such a plant because it could generate such a thick blood-hue, which was something he never saw before.
Taking a few deep breaths, he placed multiple test tubes in front of him, with two beaks and a beaker next to them.
In front of him were two tripods with a small hole in the center and igniting a flame in each hand, he ordered his black origin flame to let them slowly float below the tripod before they adjusted their temperature.
Controlling the temperature, Jason was more than happy to have the black origin flame because maintaining the temperature of two flames at the same time, was not as difficult as before and he didn't even want to imagine how frustrating it would be with normal flames.
Taking out one of his Viridi-Starstream daggers, he cleansed it with his mana in order to prevent anything unwanted to obstruct the final result.
Placing the dagger not even half a meter away from him, Jason focuses on the ingredients next to him, as he took out the third tripod from his spatial ring, which he placed to his left.
With the beaker placed on top of it, he filled it with water and he manifested a third flame at a low temperature, which he placed below the third tripod.
Heating up the water, he took out the mana crystal shards and put them into the water, before he threw in several dozen grams of Gloar-sand into the warmed-up water, causing a reaction between the grade-2 sand and the mana crystal shards.
Slowly increasing the temperature of the third flame, Jason averted his attention in order to place a test tube within the two remaining tripods, before filling them with water and Luo-sand in addition to fewer neutral crystal shards, before he added fire elemental crystal shards into the left test tube and ice elemental crystal shards.
Seeing that it began to react with the Luo-sand, Jason perceived that the water released faint transmuted mana fluctuations, which was exactly what he wanted.
Sieving out the reduced Luo-sand without any mana fluctuations left and the mana drained crystal shards, he obtained two-colored flask tubes, one radiating a faint heat with a faint crimson color, while the other radiated a faint cold, while its color slowly changed into a faint blue.
The flame below the faintly blue test tube was extremely low, barely heating up the cold, creating a repulsive reaction, as he immediately took out the perennial box with the ice affinity, arctic glacier orchid.
Tearing out the pedals, which were the cause for the orchid's ice affinity, he carefully placed them into the test tube, before he increased the heat for three seconds to an extremely high temperature, before he completely extinguished the flame.
Seeing the orchid petals brightening up, Jason knew that he didn't make a mistake, as it was the natural reaction of the arctic glacier orchid to release cold, cooling, and high-nutrition mana upon being 'attacked' by sun rays or high temperature.
Noticing this, Jason couldn't help but smile, as he averted his attention back to the beaker, whose content reacted already with each other.
Sieving out the mana drained crystal shards and Gloar-sand, one could feel a dense mana flow within the mana-infused water.
Taking out the crimson nebulus zanghe, Jason noticed that the whole plant seemed alive, which caused him to sigh deeply, as he pierced straight into its center with the dagger that laid next to him only a moment ago, killing the semi-sentient plant, without trying to subdue it, which would bring much more benefits to the whole evolution solution he concocted.
However, without any prior practice, Jason couldn't waste any time by experimenting with how to subdue a semi-sentient plant, which was the reason for him to take out and cleanse his dagger.
With the dead crimson nebulus zanghe inside the beaker, Jason increased the heat of the third flame consistently, adjusting it to the high temperature required to drain all nutrition and even the bloody hue out of the plant, forcefully causing a reaction with the thick mana infused water.
When the third flame reached the required temperature and he noticed that it maintained the heat, without fluctuating, Jason couldn't help but wipe away the sweat pearls forming on his forehead.
Averting his attention to the two test tubes, Jason took out a fire attributed ingredient called, blazing ocean lotus, which he cut into several dozen small pieces before throwing it into the red test tube.
Seeing it reacting, Jason couldn't help but avert his gaze towards the cold test tube whose ice transmuted mana-infused water thickened, as his attention reverted back to the crimson nebulus zanghe.
It seemed as if everything worked fine and the ingredients he used didn't really try to fight against their fate as Dalia told him that it was possible.
Now he only had to wait for the main component and two subcomponents to finish transmuting, training the nutrition, mana, and medical effect out of the herbs.
However, that was still not everything, as Jason took out a fourth tripod, which he ignited with another flame, increasing the number of flames he had to control to three again, as the ice transmuted test tube didn't require any heat.
Filling one beak with water, Luo sand, and mana crystal shards, they reacted with each other once again, before he sieved everything.
Taking out multiple herbs out of the remaining perennial boxes, Jason carefully put them into the beak.
Seeing first reactions his timing had to be almost perfect and waiting patiently, he put in the next herb, before the reactions caused by the two herbs within started to release an aromatic smell, telling him that he had to put in the remaining herbs at once.
Glancing at the time, the two test tubes and the beaker, Jason knew that it was almost time, as he sieved the drained herbs out of the two test tubes, before he placed the last beak, where the red test tube was situated on.
With the black origin flame below heating up the glass, he averted his attention to sieve the drained herbs out of the two test tubes, before he carefully filled the content of both, revolting transmuted mana infused water sources, into the beak.
Hearing a small *puff* with red-blueish smoke raising up, Jason sighed once again, before he waited a moment in order to see the reactions.
Noticing that everything was fine, he averted his attention to the small beak he filled with several herbs, as he sieved the mana drained herbs out.
Now there was only the crimson nebulus zanghe left and Jason noticed that it was almost completely drained, as he took it out because the thick blood aura released by the dense mana infused water was more than enough for his purpose.
Sieving the crimson nebulus zanghe out and laying it aside, he put in the content of the thick solution created from the several herbs into the large beaker, before swirling it around carefully.
Seeing the wanted reaction of the two different solutions reacting with each other, an aromatic scent filled with a thick bloody touch could be smelled.
Averting his attention once again, he had only two different solutions left, and now, he had to be careful with putting the fiery-ice solution in the crimson nebulus zanghe bloodline solution.
With his mana eyes utilized to the limit, Jason observed every little reaction, which caused him to hasten slow down the whole mixing process..
..
.
Finally, more than fifteen minutes later, it was done, and Jason's legs almost gave in, because it was more difficult than he imagined before, even if the worst-case scenario with complete sentient herbs trying to revolt didn't happen, which caused him to sigh in relief.
In the end, the whole evolution solution remained carefully put into two vials, which Jason immediately stored away in order to stay safe, as he looked at the chaos he created.
The whole alchemy room looked like it was a pigsty to beg with and Dalia would most likely lecture him for hours, that such a mess was not acceptable.
However, Jason couldn't care less at the moment, because he created his first evolution solution, even if it was barely one of the easiest without him intentionally purifying it a tiny bit.
Nevertheless, because of his origin flame's innate ability, all ingredients had been refined and purified to a marginal degree, even if it didn't change anything at the radiating color, because there was none to start with.
This was the sole point he was dissatisfied with because he wanted to purify everything, but the overwhelming emotions that overcame him by creating an evolution solution turned everything less important, which even Artemis and Scorpio who remained in his soul world, overjoyed.
