Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1920

Once he was able to create his recipe, his next task was to produce perfect fourth-grade pills from those recipes, and he had only half a month to complete the assignment.

The challenge was much more difficult than Severin had expected.

As he looked at the hundred thousand different materials before him, Severin took a deep breath and steeled himself with determination. "Creating a hundred different pills out of a hundred thousand different ingredients in one day is a true test of our basic alchemy skills, our familiarity with the medicinal properties of those ingredients, and our ability to combine them to create a working recipe," he said to himself.

Such a challenge proved difficult, especially for alchemists who had just made a breakthrough to becoming a fourth-grade alchemist. It required a profound understanding of the medicinal properties of pills, as well as the skill to create recipes based on that knowledge.

Although there was no end to the types of pills, only a dozen or so were truly popular in circulation among practitioners. The one key characteristic that all pills shared was that they were formed through the trial and error of countless past generations of alchemists. It is their proficiency in understanding the properties of each different ingredient that made those alchemists stand out from the others.

"Now this is what I call a challenge!" Severin licked the corner of his lips and expressed his eagerness to rise to the challenge. He dived into the assessment and swiftly distinguished the hundred thousand different ingredients in front of him. Thanks to his solid basic skills, he identified them in less than a quarter of an hour and began to construct a recipe based on the ingredients' medicinal properties.
