Episode 145

73. Raised the elixir – 1

It didn’t take long to make the field.

Unlike farming that had to be done on a large scale, the seeds for Hyeongseolsam were few in number.

“Six… … .”

The first farming was done to obtain seeds.

Of course, there are doll-like ginsengs that can be obtained through it, but the medicinal effects will not be that great.

“I heard that it takes at least ten years for a doll’s ginseng to bear fruit. I guess you can take care of that part.”

As Hongryeon spoke, recalling the information from Heinkel, who was an authority on elixirs, Lee Han nodded slightly.

Assuming you use the growth acceleration to its fullest potential, you will need to keep using it for at least a few days.

“After we finish making the field, we’ll go get some ingredients for the cold continuation potion.”

“Do you know where to get it?”

“More or less.”

Shredder has wide feet.

As such, he knew to some extent where everything was in the Great Forest, and of course, he also knew where the ingredients for making a cold continuation potion were.

“Then, you’re thinking of doing that… and going with Hongryeon?”

“Yeah. There are some dangerous places.”

Of course, it would be okay for Shredder to go alone, but there is a so-called “what if.”

Hongryeon’s inaction would be of great help to him, so it would be better for her to go with him.

“Then let’s go back first.”

“Black Blood Daemang. Can you stop the bad guys from encroaching on the fields?”

“huh!”

Black Blood Daemang, who had become completely friendly with Lee Han and his group, nodded with a big smile.

Normally, he would not have stopped anyone who approached him, but since Lee Han had decided to create a Hyeongseolsam plantation here, he was determined to protect it.

“We’ll come visit often too. Don’t be too lonely.”

“Hehehe. Thanks, Tree. I’d appreciate it if you came to visit me~!”

With a lively smile on Black Blood’s face, Lee Han and his party returned to the cabin.

In the cabin, the dragon and Leticia were waiting.

“Have you made a field of doll ginseng?”

“Yes. Now I just need a cold continuation potion.”

“I see.”

Yong nodded and looked at Shredder and Hongryeon packing their bags.

The luggage they carried was nothing special.

Just alcohol and food.

They said it would take a few days, gave a quick greeting, and ran out in a hurry.

“I’m really busy.”

“I guess you want to try growing it quickly.”

“Hmm… … Right. Oh. Right. You said you were planning to get the seeds of the doll’s ginseng first, right?”

“yes.”

“Then what are you going to do with the ten-year-old doll-shaped ginseng that you have after obtaining the seeds?”

“Do you need it?”

“It’s good that you’re quick-witted. I’d like to use it as an alchemy material, so I’d like you to share it with me.”

“Haha, I understand.”

“Good. If the medicine is made, I will give it to you too.”

“What kind of medicine are you trying to make?”

“I’m thinking of processing it to make it easier to eat.”

Hyeong-in Seol-sam is a powerful elixir that contains the energy of nature.

Medicine and poison are like coins: if used well, they become medicine, and if used wrongly, they become poison.

In other words, an elixir with strong medicinal properties can, in the worst case, become poisonous and endanger the person taking it.

“That’s why great alchemists refine the elixir into easy-to-take pills. Of course, the potency will be reduced compared to eating it raw, but its stability will be greatly increased, so it will be helpful to you.”

“I don’t need any elixir… … .”

“Can’t you just leave it and give it to someone else? That would be something that would give you strength.”

“Your Majesty, do you not need it?”

“What would I use it for? Of course, I’ll feed it to Lettish later when I get it. As for the rest, I just want to experiment.”

There was no need to refuse the dragon’s offer.

Shredder, Hongryeon, and Heinkel wanted a hundred-year-old doll-shaped ginseng root, so there would be no problem in giving the dragon a root that was ten years old.

“There are so many people who want to make a doll, so I’m afraid of what people will say if I fail.”

“Hahaha. Even if you fail, it’s just a shame. What would anyone say to you about that?”

Well, if there was such a person, I wouldn’t have let him into the cabin in the first place.

Lee Han shrugged and shook his head at Yong’s laughing voice.

“Then I guess I should finish what I was doing.”

If Shredder and Hongryeon don’t collect the materials, the next task cannot proceed.

Until then, I couldn’t just let go and play.

There are also many other things to do.

After Lee Han gave Yong an affogato, he headed to the barley field with Tree.

It had been four days since Shredder and Hongryeon returned from their search for ingredients.

While Heinkel, Red, and Willem were checking the medicinal herb seeds they had brought, they arrived at the cabin with their large loads and collapsed on the floor without saying who would go first.

Both of them were meticulous, so finding materials wasn’t usually an easy task.

“Food! Food!”

“Give me some alcohol!!”

In response to their desperate cries of returning home in beggarly form, Lee Han offered them the food and drinks he had prepared.

Those who received it and ate it hastily pointed to one side without saying a word to the dragon that approached them.

The bags they carried were full of things like grass and pieces of rock.

“As expected, you’re great. So, is it our turn now? Leticia, help me out.”

“Yes, Master.”

The dragon headed to the alchemy laboratory carrying a bag of materials.

As he processed the ingredients in his bag and placed them in the pot, the spell flowing out of the dragon’s mouth grew stronger.

“A considerable amount of magic power is being put into it.”

“Wow. This is the power of the alchemist… … .”

The dragon’s alchemy was so great that both Heinkel and the others who were watching said something.

The moment when Yong, who had been gathering magical power so earnestly that even Shredder and Hongryeon, who had been absentmindedly eating and drinking because they had not been able to eat or drink for a while, paid attention, poured all of that magical power into the alchemy pot.

-Woooooow!!

Light began to pour out of the alchemy pot, accompanied by a low vibrating sound.

The Han-gi continuation potion is complete.

She carefully scooped it out and put it in a bottle, handing it to Lee Han.

“If you sow this in the field, the land will be cold for at least a month.”

“You’ll have to keep pouring potions, as you’ll have to keep thinking about the doll sucking up the cold air.”

“I see… … Hmm. Okay. Then let’s go and start farming tomorrow.”

Everything is ready.

Then, wouldn’t it be okay to just run it?

As Lee Han spoke while putting the cold continuation potion into his bag, Hongryeon, Shredder, and Heinkel clenched their fists.

in the end.

in the end.

He started to cultivate elixirs, something no one had ever been able to achieve.

They stayed up all night, thrilled to be part of this historic event.

So the next day.

While Lee Han, who had woken up at dawn, was getting ready, those who had worked hard to grow Hyeongseolsam got on the cart.

“let’s go!!”

Shouting harshly, Shredder pulled the cart.

There was not a single person on the rattling cart who did not have a sense of anticipation.

The carriage filled with everyone’s hopes ran through the forest without stopping, and soon arrived at the Hyeonginseolsam plantation.

“You came?! I didn’t let anyone in here!”

The long-awaited Black Blood Dragon greeted them with a bright smile.

While the tree approached him and greeted him, Lee Han inspected the condition of the field.

“how is it?”

“It’s okay. I think I can do it now. Tree, help me.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

When the powder made from the ground fruit of the earth tree was sprinkled on the field, the tree’s hand was raised.

The power gained by possessing the earthen tree is exerted.

The power she unleashed quickly infused the earth with magic along with the dust from the earth tree fruit, and the dragon who was staring at it sprinkled a cold continuation potion on the field.

“I’m okay now.”

A white chill began to settle over the fields, as if frost had fallen.

Lee Han, who had approached a land where no plants would normally grow, planted the seeds of the Hyeonginseolsam he had prepared in a designated location.

‘I wonder if it will work out.’

Now all that’s left is yourself.

Lee Han took a deep breath and placed the statue of the goddess Gaia nearby and reached out.

“Intellect enhancement.”

The fertility of fields filled with cold air and magical energy is strengthened.

Even if it is said to be an elixir, it is still a plant.

There was no way it wouldn’t be affected by the enhanced intelligence.

“Growth acceleration.”

And the growth acceleration unfolded.

When Lee Han’s ability to ignore time was demonstrated, everyone watching swallowed their saliva.

“… … .”

There is no change.

But no one was disappointed.

According to Heinkel, doll’s ginseng grows at a different rate from ordinary plants.

It was known that it took almost a year for the sprouts to germinate.

In that case, it was clear that the growth acceleration that Lee Han had to go through had to be just as great.

“Leehan! My nose is bleeding!! Drink this!”

The continued use of supernatural powers was eating away at my stamina.

However, Lee Han did not stop using his abilities, and Shredder and Hongryeon continued to pour stamina recovery potions into his mouth.

How much of that power did he use?

“It’s sprouting!!”

At Heinkel’s shout, everyone turned their attention there.

Six green sprouts were sprouting. The sprouts, filled with cold air and magical power, were growing very slowly.

“Oh my god. I never thought I’d actually get to see the elixir grow… … .”

When the moved Heinkel muttered softly, Lee Han let out his breath.

Even though I continued to take stamina recovery potions, it was by no means easy to get the elixir to sprout.

“Let’s take a break… … .”

When Lee Han, who had collapsed, gasped and muttered, Yong smiled happily and patted his shoulder.

“What a great feeling… … .”

Even though it was just a sprout, the energy it contained was extraordinary.

Anyone who sees that sprout will know.

The doll that grows there will become an incredible elixir that will shake the times.

“I guess I should get ready.”

Lee Han smiled weakly and drank a stamina recovery potion while Yong muttered softly.

After hearing her words, Shredder and Hongryeon lightly clenched and unclenched their fists.

“Why are there so many people who try to steal what others have worked so hard to create?”

“They’re just people who live by instinct anyway. They’re foolish people who just rush in regardless of who’s here.”

The monsters that sensed the power of this sprout were approaching.

Until now, it was a place that was not approached because of the black blood net, a spiritual being, but if there was something this precious, it would be a different story.

The monsters approach, drooling at the sight of the sprouts.

“We’ll need someone to guard here, right?”

“I’ll make sure to guard it as I go back.”

“Dragon. Can’t you make it your territory?”

“Haha. They come even though I’m here, so why wouldn’t they come if I call them their territory?”

As the dragon snorted, a huge monster raised its head from the hillside.

The moment Hongryeon noticed it, she threw a spider web.

“Coming.”

A great number of monsters swarmed around, targeting the sprouts of the doll-shaped ginseng.

No matter how many monsters attacked, not a single one of them was able to obtain the sprout of the Independence Hall.

No, I couldn’t even approach the field.

It’s a given.

Shredder, Hongryeon, and Heinkel are already quite powerful, but there’s also Dragon and Black Blood.

What can a monster do when those people are guarding it?

So Lee Han was able to continue to use his abilities with peace of mind, and when the sun set.

“Whoaaah… … .”

“This is it… … .”

“It’s only a ten-year-old doll, but it possesses such spiritual energy… … .”

Lee Han and his party were finally able to see the Hyeonginseolsam bearing red fruit.

This was the birth of Lee Han’s special ten-year-old doll-shaped ginseng.
