Grand Magus 56 Incubation Alchemy

Since Fraser didn't get disturbed by anyone and didn't had the need to go out since he already understood the general information, he spent his entire day creating potions.

He even started to read the Alchemist notes of another Apprentice which he traded in the trading session where he also got cheated by the little brother of Vira.

Well, not reading. Instead, Fraser stored every data in his AI.

The result of the notes was instant.

The notes talked about an Alchemy process which involved the "incubation" of potions.

Treating the gla.s.s flask as an egg while adding the potion material directly without needing to synthesize everything.

Naturally, this "incubation" process had cons and pros.

The pro for the "incubation" process was the fact that it was easy, allowed an experienced Alchemist to process thousands upon thousands of potions on the same day and the Alchemist would achieve a deeper understanding of Alchemist the more he used the process.

The con for the "incubation" process was that something being easy is relative, as only Alchemist with a certain feeling would be able to use this procession and yes, an Alchemist would be able to create thousands upon thousands of potions on the same day. However, every potion needed time to "hatch" and thus complete the "incubation" process.

Since Fraser had tons of materials, he naturally started experimenting with this new Alchemy procession called "incubation".

To be honest, this new process was easier for Fraser than traditional Alchemy where one had to synthesize everything and extract certain things.

With his AI he also had the ability to store certain feelings and memories of each experiment.

So in the first batch of the new incubation experiment, on the first day after the day he interrogated Elise, he used one hundred flasks for every potion he could refine.

Meaning basic explosion potion, basic wound mending potion, and basic strengthening potion.

So Fraser used a different memory and feeling for every flask and numbered every flask from one to one hundred, naturally for every potion he used a different symbol marking the experimenting flasks.

The result was utter garbage compared to his usual succeed rate.

In the first batch of potions, only one of the basic explosion potions "hatched" and succeeded, the other 99 flasks all turned out to be "death" meaning they failed.

From the basic wound mending potion and the basic strengthening potion none "hatched".

Even though Fraser wasted thirty magic stones with a single experiment, he didn't felt bad. After all, he could always create seven to eight potions with the traditional method and sell them for more than thirty magic stones.

Though thirty magic stones were not the real number after all one basic explosion potion succeeded and the magic stones can be used to buy fifty materials. Adding Fraser current situation, in the outpost people would trade more materials, sixty or even seventy for a single potion.

In the second batch, meaning three days after the talk with Elise, Fraser could see a huge improvement in the success rate, especially in the basic explosion potion department.

34 was the total amount of explosion potion successfully "hatched" from the incubation technique.

Fraser mostly used the succeeding feeling and memory stored in the AI to replicate it, adding a few information and memories.

Luckily Fraser succeeded in two of the incubation of the basic wound mending potion and one of the basic strengthening potion.

The third and fourth batch of the experiment immediately allowed Fraser to see what the increase in knowledge caused him to achieve.

The basic explosion potion reached a success rate of 64 of one hundred in the third batch and 98 of one hundred in the fourth batch.

The basic wound mending potion reached a 17 in the third batch and a 58 in the fourth batch since the first successful incubation only occurred in the second batch. Same with the basic strengthening potion, though the third batch only reached 8 and the fourth reached 42.

The incubation time for every potion was two days, meaning that when the fourth batch finished, nine-day pa.s.sed since Fraser interrogated Elise for the n.o.ble families.

On the first day after the interrogation, he started his first batch, the third day after that he started the second, on the fifth day he started the third and on the seventh day he started the fourth and on the ninth day the experiment resulted in overall success.

With such a s...o...b..lling success rate Fraser naturally started the fifth batch of the three potions with one hundred flasks.

With each gesture of pouring water, a single drop of water mixed with something unknown dripped into the flasks.

Fraser held his Alchemy Set which was in the shape of a disk and poured a single drop of water into the flasks which were filled with one material each and a small cup of water.

He connected his spirit towards the Alchemy set and formed the feeling which resulted in a little bit of spirit mixing with the water that was on top of the Alchemy Set and dripped down into the flask.

Since he used up a few materials, Fraser had to go out after he started his incubation process on the three hundred potions.

Three of his eight servants carried wooden crates filled with gla.s.s flasks that contained liquids of the three different potions.

The other five of his servants formed a protective formation, surrounding him and the three servants carrying the wooden crates.

Just as Fraser wanted to departure, he thought of an option where he could trade for more materials. After all, even if the inner circle of Magus Sept could gather materials for the potions, most of them traded their potions for corpses and only a few put really useful stuff up for trade.

The insect in the cave bear could be regarded as a blessing disguised as a curse that also had a few attributes of a curse and changes that might not be pleasant.

The Alchemy notes, on the other hand, was absolutely amazing, the ancient potion recipe he traded couldn't be deciphered as it was written with an unknown ancient language.

Maybe the ancient recipe he traded wasn't even a recipe and only an ancient shopping list, but as Fraser wanted to see the generosity of the seniors he traded for everything, as long as it wasn't too expensive.

But now, Fraser only wanted Notes or Books on Alchemy and Materials for the potions.

After all, he had almost everything he needed right now and hopefully after the monster tide in the howling abyss ended, he would return to the academy and trade for more valuable courses and lessons.

Most good lessons would cost one hundred magic stones or more, lessons with an entrance fee of ten magic stones would often have one thousand or more apprentices.

Since a single lesson would only take place for one or two hours, Fraser needed to save up tons of magic stones if he wanted to attend these lessons every single day without having to create potions between them.

Besides, having too many magic stones wouldn't be a burden for Fraser since he could buy more knowledge with the magic stones and more knowledge would mean more options for him.
