The better the environment, the more energetic you are at work.
Jiang Kehan skillfully put the commission into the shredder, and soon the materials needed to complete the commission appeared on it.
"Let me see, one bottle of potion gave me three sets of materials?"
Jiang Kehan was somewhat surprised as she inventoried the materials.
If the alchemy is made according to the recipe, a qualified alchemist will have a success rate of over 50%, and one potion is more than enough to provide two sets of materials.
Moreover, these materials are not recycled, which means that the higher the witch's level, the more she can exploit.
"The Vortex Society is really willing to spend money to recruit alchemy witches," Jiang Kehan nodded in satisfaction.
"Moreover, these materials can only be produced in this broken space in Pingjiang City. Whether for sale or for personal use, they are excellent. I like clients like this."
She couldn't help but hum softly, and walked towards the crucible with the materials in her hand.
It's called a crucible, but it's actually more like a large refrigerator with its interior converted into a water tank. You can see that there are many pipes attached to it, each connected to a different suppressor, which can effectively prevent explosions from various causes.
The witch put a lot of thought into preventing explosions and increasing the success rate, but her own recklessness is a separate matter.
"First, rinse it once, then add a special base liquid."
Jiang Kehan silently recited the order of alchemy, and then hurled a large fireball at the crucible!
It's crude and simple, but effective.
Burning it clean is the most effective way to cleanse it, because water has many meanings in alchemy, but ashes only mean "useless".
This can effectively prevent accidents.
"Let me see. This potion's base liquid requires gray stone branches, three parts whale tears, and a little bit of fantasy?"
A question mark appeared above Jiang Kehan's head.
The base liquid determines the specific type of potion. For example, potions that buff witches often use holy base liquids, and the effect will be reduced if other types are used.
But what she's making now is clearly a pink-colored potion.
"Huh?" Jiang Kehan couldn't help but rub her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. She then looked at the extra materials and her mouth twitched.
"What would I need these materials for?"
She tilted her head slightly, her face flushed a little, but she still carefully took the extra materials back into her personal space.
"It's all work, not what I want, cough." Jiang Kehan tried to convince herself and quickly got into the zone.
She used magic to dissolve the materials, then gently placed them into a crucible, and the base liquid was completed while she waited.
As long as the subsequent steps were followed step by step, there were no unexpected problems.
Jiang Kehan set the prepared medicine aside and began the repetitive work.
However, from the descriptions in these materials, she gained a better understanding of the type of broken space she was in.
"Black Forest... Is this the name of the shattered space?"
"But it's actually more like a dark fairy tale." Jiang Kehan couldn't help but glance out the window. The outside was still gloomy, and she couldn't see anything in the distance.
"The scenes inside are beyond the realm of normal understanding, yet they are closer to intuition? Interesting."
"For example, the reason why rivers have a continuous flow of energy is not because of water circulation, but simply because the source can continuously produce water."
"Moreover, many strange and fantastical creatures live here, no wonder Bai Bingbing looks like she's worked so hard she's lost all will to live."
Jiang Kehan chuckled to herself. This type of shattered space was the most torturous for witches, after all, they were all top students.
Chapter 213 A Strange Fate
Time passed quickly amidst the mechanical work. Jiang Kehan looked at the potion, which was almost enough to offset the value of her 24 hours of work, and had a bold idea.
She still couldn't resist the urge to do something reckless—no, I mean, she wanted to try and create a completely new potion formula.
Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, the process of exploring the unknown is what the alchemist witch is pursuing.
"Just a quick refining, just a tiny bit," Jiang Kehan muttered to herself as she went outside to accept the commission.
Seeing her tiptoe in from outside, Jiang Yi, whose face was already covered in dust, coughed out a cloud of smoke and then smiled healthily.
"Finally couldn't resist and wanted to give it a try?"
"Mmm." Jiang Kehan smiled shyly, even though she knew it was a calculated move, she couldn't refuse.
This is a chance to use someone else's materials and blow things up in someone else's alchemy lab at will. No alchemy witch would refuse that!
"A wise choice. I like juniors like you."
Jiang Yi leaned over, supporting herself on the table, and nodded in satisfaction. Then she took out a notebook and tossed it to Jiang Kehan.
"Here's the data I tested. I hope it'll be of some use to you." After saying that, she couldn't help coughing again, her whole body enveloped in thick smoke.
Even though you look a mess right now, you looked really cool when you threw the notebook!
Jiang Kehan carefully took the notebook, which contained the specific effects of the materials that needed to be tested, and even the recipes that Jiang Yi had failed to avoid taking the same detours.
These are all very valuable materials, which have been of great help to Jiang Kehan.
"This is too embarrassing." Although Jiang Kehan was tempted, she closed the notebook, handed it to Jiang Yi, and gave her a cleaning spell.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Jiang Yi waved her hand, trying to sweep away the remaining ashes.
"Your success is due to your own ability; I just saved you some time."
She clicked her tongue lightly, then looked at Jiang Kehan with some disdain.
"Don't you think you're worthy?"
Jiang Yi is known for her strong personality. She despises witches who follow the rules in alchemy and believes that following a fixed teacher is a waste of talent.
Therefore, she rejected the invitations from several teachers and instead spent a lot of money to seek instruction from different A3-level alchemy witches.
Although she looked down on other alchemy witches of her generation, she always supported and encouraged the younger generation.
Jiang Kehan had never encountered such a casual witch before, which even made her feel a little awkward.
If we're talking about who's most sensitive to knowledge, then besides the group of crazy research witches, it's probably the alchemy witches.
The idea that knowledge is equivalent to money is not unfounded in their eyes.
This was the first time Jiang Kehan had gained someone else's knowledge without working for it, which gave her a strange sense of guilt.
It's like you bumped into an elderly person and they called out to you.
You initially thought the old man wanted you to take responsibility, but instead he took a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in your hand, kindly reminding you to be careful when you walk, as it would be bad if you fell.
By the time you want to express your gratitude, the old man has already waved goodbye and left, leaving you standing there looking at the candy in your hand, feeling somewhat lost and guilty.
"You're a good person, Jiang Yi." Jiang Kehan hugged the notebook tightly to her chest and bowed deeply to her.
Do all the little witches these days like to give everyone the "friend zone" treatment?
Jiang Yi's lips twitched, and her already ashen face seemed to darken even more.
To her shame, all three of her relationships began and ended with her being friend-zoned.
This reminded her of unpleasant memories.
Jiang Yi waved her hand impatiently, her face cold, as if shooing away a fly.
"Grab your notes and hurry up, time isn't something you can waste like this."
"Okay!" Jiang Kehan nodded vigorously and ran upstairs quickly.
As Jiang Yi watched the other person's retreating figure, tears finally welled up in her eyes. She looked up at the sky outside, a faint sadness in her eyes.
She lit a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and took a deep drag.
Ah, she just wanted a sweet romance, what did I do wrong?
Could it be just because she's a science student?
Jiang Yi couldn't understand why she had to delete the alchemical product. She decided to stop thinking about it and turned to look at the unfinished product. She immediately revealed an impatient smile.
Alchemy is more interesting, hehe.
There was a reason why she was rejected.
Upstairs, Jiang Kehan, with a determined look in her eyes, was already prepared, even though she had only originally wanted to try it out and was a little unaccustomed to being bombed for too long.
But now, she has Jiang Yiyuan's endless strength behind her!
She is no longer just herself; she possesses the power of Stand user, Good Guy Card Master Jiang Yi!
Thus, Jiang Kehan unknowingly entered a special state, and everything seemed to go smoothly.
The number of explosions also increased.
The explosion was indeed loud, and even Jiang Yi, who was huddled downstairs defending against it, nodded in satisfaction.
She's a promising young man. I just don't know if Jiang Kehan has a shield. Should we send one over?
Jiang Yi looked at the shield that had absorbed most of the explosion damage for her and fell into deep thought.
But before she could finish thinking, she heard a series of chaotic footsteps, and it was clear that the people making the sounds were very excited.
Huh? Jiang Yi looked back and saw Jiang Kehan waving excitedly at her, her joy barely concealed by the matching ash stains on her face.
Pure, like the fantasy Jiang Yi had before confessing her feelings.
"I succeeded!"
What did you say... Jiang Yi froze. She seemed to be back to the moment she was given the "friend zone" card, and her first reaction was that Jiang Kehan was teasing her.
But soon, she couldn't help feeling depressed and subconsciously wanted another cigarette.
Alchemists never lie about alchemy; this is a fundamental principle and an important means of ensuring the pure transmission of knowledge.
Therefore, what Jiang Kehan said is true.
This, ironically, made Jiang Yi feel a little sour.
She looked at the ashes left from the explosion in front of her shield, and tears seemed to well up in her eyes again.
Has she fallen so low that she's even worse than a little witch?
But Jiang Yi still held her head high with determination, because her crown really might fall.
Jiang Kehan walked up to Jiang Yi and handed her the medicine with a smile.
