Chapter 125: Rejuvenation potion
15 days had passed just like that, the sun shone like always, and the many stars and moons seemed brighter than usual at night.
The flora flourished under the solar power of the big bright star that was called the sun or different names depending on what it was called in their civilizations.
In these bountiful days, there was a small group that was in the middle of nowhere. But around these people was a beautiful construction. In the dense forest, it acted as the shed, the store, the storage place, the rest area, and most importantly, a place that people could call home in those beautiful but cursed plains.
Among all these people that seemed to be engrossed in their own tasks, there was a young man that had his eyes closed with a serious look on his face.
His hands were in a close position near a hot burning pot made of wood. The pot had turned black in color with time as the heat below it kept on creping inside its thick layers.
The young man was moving its mana inside the big cauldron in peace and it kept going on for a long time making one wonder just how many points the young man had in its storage.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the young man opened his eyelids, the eyes showing the amount of peace deep within his mind.

He with his own set of makeshift tools soon pushed the big pot known as a cauldron from the place that was the main reason the cauldron was all burned up.
The young man after waiting for an exponential time, finally smelled the liquid after a lot of hesitation from his side.
The hesitation was only born after a series of failures that were weighing on his mind. The mad number of experiments he did with the raw materials he had.
Only this time, there was finally good news.
The young man dipped a small cup made of wood halfway inside the cauldron in the hope to get the liquid outside. The cup had a story of its own that it tried to tell with the pale color it now had rather than the light brown it once shimmered with.
The young man soon got a notification from the system telling him the results of his serious and exhausting hard work.

Lucas fell on his knees making the liquid splash on the ground, he didn't care as he had more than 5 liters worth of the liquid inside the cauldron still burning hot.
Lucas went toward a big stone slate at the corner of his makeshift workshop. There were many other small slates inside the workshop but they all were broken with various English letters inscribed on them clearly showing the failures they were.
Lucas went to the slate and wrote the number and amount of different types of ingredients he used in making the potion.
With the latest level up which made his 'Potion Brewnig' skill level up to 3, Lucas now had the sensitivity of automatically knowing the weight in grams, kilograms, liters, milliliters, and more for ingredients making it easy for him to experiment with them.
Even his Herbalism skill was at level 3 now making Lucas have a deep understanding of some very basic plants and more that he already had a lot of information about.
Within a few minutes of inscribing the slate with new information with a wood carving knife, he got from the treasure chest inside the dungeon.
"Sigh... finally done after 5 days of work..." Lucas muttered with his water-thirsty dried mouth.
His success looked great and all but only Lucas knew the satisfaction and genuine happiness he was feeling right now.
He lay on the floor right beside the cauldron and finally closed his eyes again only to this time help the bags below his eyes to vanish with the magical ability of sleep.
Minutes passed to hours when he finally woke up with a smile plastered on his face. But it soon vanished when he saw many faces in a herd of a circle around his head staring at him with various emotions.
"Wakey Wakey, does baby need a glass of milk now huh?" Sandra said in the most playful voice one could have heard from her voice. But it was not a surprise for the members of the groups.
As these past few days amounting to a whopping 15 had helped the two sisters get out of their grief for their brother Jimmy who had died heroically in front of them or so they thought.
Lucas just ignored them all and got up to finally tell them all the good news.
"What a mess, you should clean where you work, Lucas." Ella said while looking at all the broken rocks and ingredient pieces on the ground, the place was really a mess.
"I will clean it up in a bit, first look at that potion!"
John didn't wait and went near the potion that was smelling very good. He got the notification for the potion.
"Holy heaven!"
"Ugh, he can't even cuss like normal people." Sandras shrugged her shoulder listening to John's version of cussing.
"Shut up, brat. And Lucas, this is really good! How much did you make?" John asked, his brain making many possibilities.
"Yeah, I was trying to have some success with the blind experiments but it finally became successful."
"Shuold we use that technique book with this?"
