aller-sized glass bottles and stored them in his inventory.

He then activated another rune on the cauldron which incinerated all the leftover dregs and everything was cleaned out for another fresh concoction batch.

Liam once again heated another pail of clean water and this time as well he threw in a huge stack of prearranged herbs, without bothering to adjust anything.

As he watched the things boiling silently, he couldn ’t help but lazily smile and lean against the wall. The things that seemed so easy and effortless now had once been a nightmare to him.

As a slave and a weakling, he himself was never allowed to practice alchemy.

However, he was forced to stand near the cauldron and act as a punching bag every time his ’owner ’ couldn ’t successfully concoct a potion.

He had been whipped, he had been starved, he had even been held under disgusting piping hot liquid, just as a means for someone else to vent their anger.

The memories of the past flitted past his mind and his smile was no longer lazy or amused. It was rather deeply disturbing. It was like the grin of a grim reaper as he was about to take a soul.

”Not yet, ” Liam muttered and closed his eyes to calm himself down.

”Mmm… Smells perfect. Next batch then. ”

Liam ended up using the next three hours of his four-hour time slot and concocted huge portions of all the five basic potions.

In the end, he even managed to bring his alchemy skill level to intermediate.

Pushing it any higher using just basic potions was near impossible and just a waste of time and resources so he stopped.

”Four special and unique alchemy potions! ”

”Oh! This is a great haul. ”

”Too bad I don ’t have the ingredients for these yet. Otherwise, I could have leveled the alchemy skill up all the way to master level today. ”

”Well, whatever. No need to rush things.. ” He had finished everything that he could do here so he packed up the miscellaneous items and left the crafting room.
