Nevertheless, even with Magic Vision, Vaan could only tell that Cyrena Ashenborn’s mana veins were infected with parasitic substances. He couldn’t tell how much parasitic substance had invaded her body. After all, the parasitic substances were brimming with mana, making them look no different from mana itself. Thus, they were camouflaging with Cyrena Ashenborn’s mana veins. “I’m going to give you a simple massage to increase your blood circulation.” “Y-Yes, Teacher.” After Vaan informed…-

When Vaan mentioned the other fields of studies, Cyrena Ashenborn did not feel any excitement. Instead, her mood plummeted with depression. “Teacher, you already know my condition. If it’s physical combat, I’m willing to learn. But as for the other subjects? There’s no point in learning if I can’t use magic,” Cyrena Ashenborn stated. “There’s no point in learning if you can’t use magic?” Vaan shook his head and said, “That’s if you can’t use magic forever.” “More…

Shortly after Vaan left with a True Witch assigned to guide him back to the Brewing Chamber, Helia Ashenborn didn’t stay in the Great Hall either. Helia Ashenborn returned to the outer courtyard, where Hester Thornton and the three True Witches were previously left. “Lord Helia,” Hester Thornton quickly greeted. “Un,” Helia Ashenborn acknowledged with a nod before casting her gaze over the three True Witches. “How are they doing, Hester?” “As you can see, Lord Helia, the True Witches…

“I believe we still need to run a few more tests to accurately gauge the effect duration of Pore Stimulation Potion and examine its consecutive usage for any other side effects that may be unknown to us.” “However, once we confirm there is no problem with your version of the Pore Stimulation Potion, the Ashenborn Household is willing to shoulder all the cost, production, and sales of the potions and split the share of the Pore Stimulation Potion’s sales 70% to us and 30% to you.” “What do you…

Outside, in the outer courtyard of Helia’s Castle, Vaan quickly gathered with everyone to watch the True Witches test Cyrena Ashenborn’s newly concocted Pore Stimulation Potions. Only three True Witches had been chosen for the potion-testing. If there wasn’t a limit for potion-testers, several more True Witches serving under the Ashenborn Household would have volunteered. After all, the Pore Stimulation Potion might be considered a low-end market item, but that doesn’t make it cheap to the point…

Cyrena Ashenborn celebrated with joy, not because she succeeded in potioneering, but because she learned a lot from Vaan’s lesson. Although she was more or less convinced by Vaan’s Equilibrium Principle, hearing about it and seeing it successfully applied hit her differently. “The Pore Stimulation Potion actually succeeded with a wood-attribute ingredient. This is amazing, Teacher! Mm, it doesn’t have that hint of fiery aroma that normal Pore Stimulation Potions have. This means there are no side…

Although Helia Ashenborn tried to be quiet and not disturb the lesson, her presence still caught everyone’s attention. Cyrena Ashenborn tried to play it cool and feign indifference, but Vaan quickly noticed the weight on her mind, which caused her to be distracted and her movements to be rigid. “Focus, Lady Cyrena. Potioneering is a delicate process that requires your full concentration. Otherwise, even with all the knowledge in your mind, you will still fail the potion production if you don’t…

“Before we jump straight into potioneering, I will give you another quiz on foundational knowledge,” Vaan stated. Cyrena Ashenborn’s eyes quickly lit up. “Yes, Teacher!” Cyrena Ashenborn answered with eagerness and anticipation. She looked forward to more surprises. “In the process of preparation and potioneering, what do we need to consider?” Vaan casually asked. “In the process of preparation, we need to consider the accuracy of the potion recipe, the quantity of the ingredients…

“Well, I call it the Equilibrium Principle, but it’s still a theory at this stage. There aren’t enough opportunities to test its authenticity,” Vaan shortly added. After Cyrena Ashenborn heard that, she paused in surprise again. “Mr. Cadieux, are you saying you were the one who came up with this Equilibrium Principle?” Cyrena Ashenborn asked with astonishment. “Well, if you haven’t heard of it before, then it should be true,” Vaan casually said, but his casualness confused Cyrena…

“Anyhow, since we are on the topic of substitute ingredients, we might as well continue from there,” Vaan stated. “How many ingredients can be used to substitute the Summer Avens? Of course, you have to name them all as well.” After hearing Vaan’s next question, Cyrena Ashenborn’s eyes quickly turned serious. “Including the Ruby Paprika, four other supplementary ingredients could be used to substitute for the Summer Avens. They are Tiger Pepper Leaf, Red Pygmy Caraway, Three-Petal Volcanic…
