Chapter 16 - Alchemy In Soul Realm
He immediately proceeded to the Alchemy tent.
[Alchemy tent detected]
[Do you want to transfer Alchemy tent in the Soul Realm?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes!"
[Affirmative]
[Using skill Devour]
It was at that moment that he devoured the tent and it went inside him. The Slime clones were busy making Productions and as well as making sounds as they did.
The land he had has expanded too and now has spices and herbs. As well as fresh waters and forest of fruit trees. Bamboos grew and so the slimes made bamboo huts for Rolan to rest.
Hot springs were present too and the slimes made them into paradise.
"Hmmm, so my Soul realm is expanding and improving huh," Rolan said out loud. It was then, he saw Reginald inside the bamboo house. He could walk inside the Soul realm with a small barrier still covering him.
"Yo, Rolan. This sure is a paradise now. I am glad I can walk around. But I still can't touch things or eat. The barrier is hindering me," he said sadly.
"Well, we, Solomon and I are working on the barrier so rest assured. I still have to do alchemy by the way, enjoy the view for now, bye!" Rolan said to him.
[Do you want to Start Alchemy?]

Rolan then approached the tent and it was silent.
He saw the vials of test tubes and several Petri dishes. A mortar and pestle on the side and a burner. With several glasses of glass containers. Also, have a small lamp located beside the table. He exited the tent and saw at the back, the botanical gardens that had no herbs at all. And so he went to find some herbs in the meantime.
Strapping his basket on his back, he ventured to the forest.
Looming forest–the forest that has many diversified flora and houses many herbs for potion-making. It was chilly and dark inside and it was a perfect place for herbs to grow. It also has a few numbers of animals but they were a few.
Rolan had a basket on his back and he was excited to gather herbs.
"Okay let's go!" Rolan muttered.
He entered the forest and the temperature dropped immediately. With the shade of the trees, the humidity also was high. The wind was cold and it whooshed as it collided with the tree trunks.
Rolan then went inside and went to gather on his own. But he was also wary of monsters appearing. He then went deeper into the forest.
He was walking into the darkness and then saw a brook. The waters were clear and he soon saw a pulsating green beside it.
"Is this the Energy herb?" Rolan asked as he stared in its direction.
"Yep, that's it! How lucky to have one immediately," Rolan then immediately uprooted the plant and put it inside their basket.
"Carefully, I might damage it!" Rolan said with a worried tone.
He then went north in his gathering. Finding at least whatever he might find.
He then decided to go east for more gathering efficacy. Rolan soon went deeper into the forest and it was more humid on that side of the forest. Mushrooms were emitting a bluish bioluminescent glow that was embedded on the trunks of the trees.
"Mana mushroom!" Rolan uttered as he realized.
"Is that them? Wow, they are pretty when up close!" Rolan muttered as he saw them, touching the mushrooms carefully.
It was then, he saw a bluish-glowing plant just below the mushrooms that were on the tree trunks.
It pulsated bluish radiance and was welcoming.
He stared at each herb and concluded. It was none other than the Essence herb! He plucked the herbs and then put them carefully inside his baskets.
"These herbs were amazing! I can feel the mana emanating from them," Rolan said as he was crouching.
Thanks to these mushrooms. They were the source of mana that nourished the herbs. Aizen then gulped his saliva then wiped their sweat.
"Even with the humidity, I am still sweating. I think it is pretty tense to just harvest these herbs," Rolan muttered.
"I know, these herbs are delicate and have to be preserved while I travel them. I don't want to damage the plants and reduce their efficacy," Rolan said to himself.
Rolan then finished his gathering of herbs and he filled up their basket to the brim.
After a few minutes of gathering herbs, he finally was ready to leave. He fastened his strap and then readied to go back.
"Let's go!"
Rolan then went to the west. He heard hoots of owls while traveling and they felt like they needed to be wary. Just in case of enemy attacks on them, he was ready.
After just several minutes of paving the forest floor, he saw a heart-shaped herb that had the spitting image of the paralyzing herb. It was beside the rotten tree trunk.
"Paralyzing herb!" Rolan exclaimed. He immediately walked fast and examined the leaves.
"Heart-shaped leaves that grow in rotten trees or humus soil. Especially when the soil is rich in nutrients and minerals," Rolan said as he scanned the leaves.
He immediately harvested the herbs and then put them inside the basket behind their backs. It was numerous and they harvested enough. Leaving the sprouts to let it grow for the future. He filled the baskets and then readied to leave.
Rolan then went northeast of the forest and they traveled to the forest floor that had many outgrown roots. He soon found an herb that had the face of a man on its root and many leaves that looked like hands. It was slightly moving as they approached.
"Attractant herbs! What a lucky find!" Rolan almost blurted out. He approached the plant and then plucked it out carefully.
He also saw more of them on the forest floor. Having waving hands while dancing in the wind. They were moving and it creeped out Rolan.
"I am not afraid of those but it sure creeped me out!" Rolan said and then his hair went up.
"Let me pick those up and leave immediately. I might find monsters here," Rolan said as he plucked them out one by one.
He soon filled his basket to the brim and then walked away. Also left some landmarks for his next visit.
Rolan then went back to the alchemy tent and went to the botanical gardens. A small environment made for growing herbs. He put off his basket strap and then put it on the floor of the room. Slamming his tired body on the floor and breathing hoarsely.
Rolan then carefully placed the herbs into the hydroponics. He immediately placed his mana potion and stamina potion into the water as well as his health potion for faster growth of plants. It was called energized water. The three combinations of potions in the water make a rapidly growing solution.
Energized water was the water that was added with mana, health, and stamina potions. It heightens the efficacy of the growth of herbs. After he finished. The blood herb was put in a container and they were neatly arranged on the side of the hydroponics. Rolan also harvested mana mushrooms and cultivated them near the Essence herbs for their source of mana. Also, the Energy herbs have ample water for them to grow.
The Paralyzing herb was also put on the containers and put on hydroponics. As well as the Attractant herb.
If Rolan would estimate it, he might harvest once a week as the growth of herbs would be rapid. It was good news for him.
Rolan then finished his laboratory and then brewed one potion each.
"Now, let's get to work," he pounded first the blood herbs and then extracted its juice. He then boiled the water and poured the extract of the blood herb into the boiling water.
After making the water boil, he cooled it off and then put it into the small vials of glasses. Making health potions in the process.
After making health potions, he repeated the same process with the stamina potion. As well as the mana potion. He immediately made many stamina and mana potions. Putting it to the wooden crates and having divisions of cushion for the safety of not breaking.
As for the paralyzing herbs, he grounded them from the mortar and pestle, and their extract was boiled. Put it into vials and then he finished.
The same with the Attractant herbs. It was grounded and then its extract was boiled until sticky. Making potions out of them all.
Immediately, Rolan spitted the herds and cultivated them in the greenhouse. Planting them there for them to grow.
