Vincent looked at the Golden-coloured pill inside the box with a scrutinizing gaze as he utilized one of the system's functions to know more about it.
‹ Spell Matrix: Appraisal activated! ›
‹ Item name: Body Strengthening Pill ›
‹ Effect: Increase all of the consumer's physical stats by 10 points ›
‹ Limitations:
1: The effectiveness of the pill decreases by a steep margin according to the strength of a person. For example, the benefits provided by the pill will be half for every stats that have surpassed 100 points.
2: The pill starts losing its medicinal essence 12 hours after it is exposed to air ›
‹ Ingredients required to make Body Strengthening Pill: "A Silver Vein, Extreme Sun Herb, Dragon Scale, Moon Essence, Queen's Cabbage, Marsh Tushes, Aurelius Flower… ›
"Woah!"
Vincent's voice was filled with excitement as his eyes ran over the information shown on the semi-transparent screen.
He wasn't excited because of the effects of the pill but for an entirely different reason.
"I can't believe you can even list the ingredients of such a unique pill!!!" Vincent exclaimed.
The body-strengthening pill had been invented by Alex the Alchemist only a few weeks ago. It had been legalized by the alchemist association this very week. The recipe of this pill wasn't known to many, but now he has become one of those people.
‹ The spell matrix is just that powerful. However, I want to clarify that the names of the listed ingredients might be different in the markets as I am using names stored in my database for hundreds of years ago. Of course, you can still identify them as their shapes and sizes will be somewhat similar ›
"I understand." Vincent nodded, unable to control himself from smiling.
Vincent's happiness and excitement weren't without reasons. He has obtained the most important knowledge to create a pill without spending a dime — a pill recipe.
It's common knowledge that without knowing the ingredients necessary to form a pill, there is no way to create one.
The pill recipe contains the names of ingredients necessary to create a pill. They are worth a lot in the marketplace and online trading platforms. It wasn't wrong to say that purchasing a single good pill recipe would cost a commoner their entire life's saving.
Of course, most people who invent pills don't share their recipes with the public as it isn't worth the effort they put in to invent a pill. They either keep their pill recipe a secret and sell their pills with limited production to reap maximum benefit, or strike a deal with a beneficial deal with a big company or family to mass-produce pills and sell them to a wider audience.
"Although I got the pill recipe of the Body Strengthening Pill and will be able to create it after taking a few specialization classes on creating pills, I can't sell it."
Vincent's eyes glistened in a calculating light as possible adverse outcomes popped into his mind
There were a lot of reasons why he couldn't sell it. Out of them all, there were two main problems due to which he could never sell the body strengthening pill.
"First of all, I would need to purchase the pill creation and pill distribution rights before I can use instructor Alex's pills for sale purposes."
"Secondly, if I try to pass his creation as mine, I will be caught red-handed by the alchemist association and get condemned for plagiarizing my instructor's creation, and that will do me more harm than good."
"Of course, I can still use it for myself! It's not like I will sell myself out to the instructors, haha!"
‹ Tenth, there is a way for you to sell the Body Strengthening Pill ›
Blood's word came as a surprise to Vincent, who had given up on earning benefit from selling Body Strengthening Pill.
"Huh? Care to explain?"
‹ You can modify the pill. You won't be tagged with alchemical creation theft once you change its shape, color, amplify or decrease its effects by a marginal amount. It will then become a brand new pill. You just need to rename it and sell it on the markets after gaining legal sale and distribution permission from the alchemist authority ›
"Modification, huh? It's not like I haven't thought about it. Although your plan sounds good, it is impossible to modify a pill without wasting years working hard. Not only would I need to find a different set of ingredients, but I will also need to find the golden ratio to mix the medicinal essence of the ingredients into a pill." Vincent said in his mind.
The golden ratio was the quantity of medicine essence required from each ingredient to be mixed into one to create a pill.
A person can't mix the medicinal essence of different ingredients into one to procure a pill without achieving the golden ratio, which leads to the failure of pill creation.
‹ That's where you are wrong ›
Blood voice sounded in Vincent's ears.
"What do you mean?" Vincent's eyebrows raised.
‹ My database contains knowledge gathered by nine generations of powerful existence. While most of it is useless in this time and age, the rest of it can be beneficial to you. It depends on how you use it. Although the ninth hadn't contributed a lot to my database, there's still enough knowledge in my database for me to explain a few of the workings of alchemical pill professions to you. According to my calculations, I can find a different set of ingredients and calculate the golden ratio of mixing their medicinal essence to create the Body Strengthening Pill.
‹ However, you'll need to do two things to make it possible ›
Vincent's eyes narrowed in thoughts and he asked, "Hmm, what will it take to modify a pill?"
‹ Firstly, you'll need to obtain extensive knowledge about the magic herbs, plants, and other ingredients used in pill creation for my database. That's the only way for me, the blood evolution system, to find better ingredients to create a modified recipe for the body strengthening pill ›
