Chapter 83 Healing Agents
Time flies, and four days have passed since Hayes said goodbye to his parents.
During these four days, Hayes was busy working overtime almost every day, which gave Jiang Shuzhou more free time.
It was another morning, and Jiang Shuzhou was refining a potion. This time, he wasn't refining a common potion like magic water, but a more difficult low-level healing potion.
First, take a Water Flower, crush it, and pour it into boiling magic water. Stir it 15 times, then wait 10 minutes until the Water Flower and magic water are fully combined. After observing with your elemental vision to confirm that the liquid has not been contaminated by other elements, proceed to the next step.
Add a small amount of dried mushrooms, crush them, and then add them to the solution. Stir counterclockwise until the solution boils. Finally, when the solution turns light red, observe it again using elemental vision. After confirming that everything is normal, filter the liquid and put it into a container.
Wait for the solution temperature to drop. As the temperature drops, the solution will become increasingly red, eventually turning completely red. Observe it again to confirm that everything is correct. A bottle of low-level healing potion has been made.
The cost price is around five gold coins, and the selling price is thirty gold coins.
The profit margin isn't as high as that of magic potion, but that's normal, since it's one of the few potions the alchemy workshop can produce, and the workshop's failure rate isn't high either.
After dealing with the dregs, Jiang Shuzhou picked up the bottle of medicine he had concocted and examined it carefully.
The bright red liquid flowed in the test tube without a trace of impurity, completely different from the basic treatment drug that Jiang Shuzhou had previously purchased.
Since it was purely handmade and made by himself, the potion that Jiang Shuzhou made himself was much better than the dark red, low-level healing potion sold by the alchemy workshop, which contained impurities.
Fortunately, the impurities in the treatment were actually just residues of Water Flower or Earth Mushroom; otherwise, Jiang Shuzhou would never have dared to drink it, as he didn't know if it would even meet food safety standards in China.
As long as industrially standardized products are non-toxic, there's no need to worry about how good their appearance is.
Setting aside the potion he had just refined, Jiang Shuzhou continued refining basic healing potions. He planned to master the refining of basic healing potions as soon as possible before refining other potions.
News of the war will soon spread throughout Velisco, and if Jiang Shuzhou also wants to get a share of the spoils in this war, becoming an alchemist is his first choice.
And just like that, the afternoon arrived quickly.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
Hayes was summoned to Jiang Shuzhou's office.
"You've been working hard lately. I heard you're patrolling every day now, so please be careful."
As he spoke, Jiang Shuzhou handed the low-level healing potion he had just refined that morning to Hayes and said...
"Here, this is a healing potion I just concocted. Take it; it'll protect you if you get injured."
"My lord, this is far too precious."
Seeing that Hayes was still hesitating, Jiang Shuzhou had no choice but to add another sentence.
"We're all on the same side, why be so polite?"
Upon hearing this, Hayes understood what was happening; this was an attempt to recruit him. After a moment's thought, Hayes accepted the potion and solemnly replied.
"I will certainly live up to your expectations, and what you desire is what I will do."
He speaks in a rather literary way.
"I won't mince words with you. I can't guarantee anything right now, but once I truly become an alchemist, your contract issue will be much easier to resolve. Just stay with me and relax."
Jiang Shuzhou casually drew a picture of a pie and then signaled to Hayes that he could leave.
And so, Hayes finally won, and Jiang Shuzhou felt a surge of joy for no reason.
There is a kind of complex called the fledgling complex. People always have a deep memory of their first important interpersonal relationship. Jiang Shuzhou is no exception when it comes to his first subordinate, Hayes.
Hayes may not have been the most capable, nor the most emotionally intelligent, but he was the most unique.
Isn't this also what is meant by "white moonlight"?
Perhaps it was a case of good things coming in pairs, or perhaps clear thinking really did work; Jiang Shuzhou successfully advanced to a second-tier mage in the early hours of the next day, and from then on, he was able to protect himself to some extent in the war.

Inside a towering church on Saint Martin Island.
The choir sang sacred songs, while a white-haired pastor with a solemn and dignified expression prayed silently before a statue that was over ten meters tall.
"Bishop Mereges, here is your letter."
The arrival of a pastor broke the tranquility of the church.
"Angelo, can't you keep your voice down? Your voice is almost drowning out the choir!"
"Alright, if I didn't speak loudly, how could you hear me?"
Angelo didn't seem to care; clearly, he did this all the time.
Bishop Meregius took the letter with a disgruntled expression, opened it, and examined it carefully. However, his expression changed drastically within seconds, and he immediately gave Angelo some instructions.
"Arrange a boat for me, immediately!"
Where are you going?
"No, that's not right. I should discuss this with the other two bishops."
Ignoring Angelo's question, Bishop Meregès then muttered to himself.
"What happened? What could have caused you to lose your composure like this?"
Bishop Meredes gave a long look at his most prized disciple and responded.
"The Mage Alliance is going to war with the Murlocs! Now they want to sign a non-aggression pact with us, requiring both sides not to invade each other's main territories!"
"What? Should we immediately take advantage of their misfortune and launch a surprise attack while they're not paying attention?"
"Are you stupid? Why are we fighting this pointless war? Are we going to ambush them and then drag ourselves into a war with the Mage Alliance?"
At this moment, Bishop Meregius truly felt that his disciple was mentally ill; he might be a good priest, but he was definitely not a good bishop.
"So what do we do?"
"The right to missionary work! We demand the right to missionary work!"
"Protest to the Mage Alliance?"
"Use your pig brain to think about this! Do you think this is even possible? We're here to proselytize the fish-men!"
"What? We sign a peace treaty with the Mage Alliance, and then go preach to the murlocs?"
"Otherwise what? You don't necessarily want to go to the Mage Alliance to preach, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Angelo fell silent.
"Sigh, I've protected you too well, to the point that you're now too politically naive. How can I feel comfortable letting you go out and become a bishop on your own if things continue like this?"
There was no time to explain; Bishop Mereges had already used divine magic to notify the other two bishops and three high-ranking paladins, and they were waiting to discuss countermeasures together.
"Angelo Alcott, remember this: I can protect you for now, but I cannot protect you forever. God's light shines over everyone. Perhaps you are only suited to be a pure priest, not an administrator, but if you want to go further, you must learn to compromise and learn politics."
"I'll go to the Merfolk's territory with you tomorrow. Don't even think about running away. When your parents entrusted you to me, I had a responsibility to raise you properly. The Alcott family can't just fall into decline like this!"
"Yes, Uncle," Angelo replied.
"I am not your uncle, I am your teacher and your guide."
After saying this, Bishop Meredes quickly left, determined to use this incident to teach his naive disciple a lesson.
Sometimes, we can't be bound by so-called hatred. Adults only talk about interests. The conflict of interest between the Mage Alliance and them is not significant, at least from the perspective of the Murlocs. Besides, it's not that they won't fight, but they will fight slowly, steadily, flexibly, and in accordance with their doctrines.
