After returning home, Altair went back to her bedroom, took off her dress, and changed into a knight's uniform that was easy to move in.
She then entered the 'laboratory', picked up a large pot, placed it on the gas stove, and began brewing potions.
When she advanced to Witch, Altair had received the potion knowledge inherent to Witches, such as: Love Potions, Hallucination Potions, Weakness Potions, Virus Potions, Truth Serums, Sleeping Potions, Oblivion Potions... and various other colorful potions.
However, these 'Witch's Potions' held no outstanding qualities for Altair, who was already an Apothecary. They often suffered from various problems such as: severe side effects, low positive effects, and high costs.
Therefore, Altair had never imagined that one day she would be making such 'incomplete' potions.
But now, times were different. For the sake of 'Acting', she had to make a batch and try them out to see if they could help her 'digest the potion'.
Because simply dressing as a woman, this method of digesting the potion, was 'too slow' for the current Altair.
Taiwan Novel Network is super easy to use, enjoy anytime.
If calculated at the current speed, she would need at least another year of digestion to advance to sequence six Demoness of Pleasure.
Altair couldn't afford to wait, as there were only two and a half years left until the main storyline began.
At that time, with heroes vying for supremacy, if she didn't have the ability to protect herself in two and a half years, she would inevitably be targeted.
After the water boiled, Altair took the Sleeping Potion as a blueprint, using her Apothecary ability to appropriately refine the soup in the pot. She added a night-blooming flower, five leaves of moon dust grass, and a small amount of sandalwood.
After the last ingredient was added, it wasn't long before the liquid in the pot gradually turned light purple. After filtering through a linen cloth, Altair obtained a basin of specially brewed 'Sleeping Potion'.
Fortunately, these potions all possessed a faint spirituality after being made, otherwise Altair really wouldn't have been able to determine their effects.
The special 'Sleeping Potion' induces a 'peaceful sleep state' ten minutes after consumption, and external sounds cannot interrupt this sleep.
'The consumer's external manifestation is a lowered breathing rate and heart rate. If not specifically observed, they appear as if dead.'
'Taking one dose can induce sleep for about 12 hours. Of course, when the dosage is doubled, it can keep a person asleep for up to 24 hours.'
After creating the potions she wanted, Altair began continuously experimenting to reduce costs, create new products, and enhance effects... On November 18th, 1346, which was the fifth day of making special potions.
Altair changed into clothes suitable for running, picked up a black hood nearby to disguise her identity, and placed the potions into a wooden box.
After everything was ready, she left the villa, took a public carriage to the North Borough, and prepared to start selling these'special brewed potions'.
Going to Tingen City's North Borough to sell potions was also a result of her careful consideration.
Altair also needed her own costs to make potions; she wasn't running a charity, so it was impossible to give them away for free.
People in Tingen City's East Borough were simply too poor. Under normal circumstances, even if they fell ill, they would just tough it out rather than spend money on medicine.
If they wouldn't even buy regular medicine, it was even less likely they would spend 3 pence to buy a bottle of special-effect potion. When they had money, they would think about'saving it or buying bread'.
And Golden Sycamore Borough was the core area of Tingen City, with police everywhere, making it inconvenient to sell.
Poor places couldn't be visited, and overly rich places couldn't be visited, so she could only choose a place like the North Borough, which didn't lean too much to either side.
Actually, if university students weren't on holiday, selling to them would be the simplest and most efficient choice.
At this time, students who could attend university would not be poor people, except for Klein, of course, thanks to his enlightened brother.
It was perfectly reasonable for wealthy university students, to pass the time, to buy a bottle of potion with special side effects to play pranks on their classmates. But unfortunately, they were on holiday!
...Altair looked at the elegantly dressed 'noble' young lady in front of her and enticed her with a hoarse voice:
"My beautiful lady, won't you consider a bottle?"
"For just 3 copper pence, you can lose 5 pounds in a week. It will make your figure even more slender... more alluring."
At this moment, Altair was like the old Witch tempting Snow White with a poisoned apple, alluring the young lady in front of her who clearly had anxiety about her figure.
The young lady looked at herself, then at the potion in Altair's hand, and asked, "Can it really help me?"
"Of course." Altair then added, "The red potion is for internal use, and the blue potion is to be rubbed on the areas you want to slim down. It works immediately. I swear by the Eternal Blazing Sun."
After receiving a definitive answer, the young lady took the potion from Altair's hand, examined it, and asked:
"These potions must have some side effects, otherwise you wouldn't be selling them so cheaply. I want to know if they will affect my health."
"Uh~" Hearing this, Altair paused for a second. Being exposed on her first attempt, she still felt quite awkward. Then, she continued in a hoarse voice:
"There is indeed a slight side effect. After taking the potion, you will continuously visit the washroom for a day, but this will not affect your health. And I believe that for beauty, enduring this small side effect is worth it."
"What other potions do you have?" After getting the desired answer, the young lady asked again.
"I also have 'Skin Renewal Potion' to help you remove scars, the side effect is increased skin sensitivity; 'Forget-Worry Dew' can help you forget anxiety, the side effect is insomnia; 'Warming Agent' has a warming effect, the side effect is frequent thirst; 'Pleasant Fragrance' continuously emits floral scent, but easily attracts bees..." Altair opened the wooden box and introduced them one by one.
"Of course, I don't just have these. I also have prank potions, such as: Sneeze Powder, Fart Grass Juice, Itch Oil, Stutter Water..."
"You can rest assured using my potions. They will not affect human health, they just have a slight side effect."
After listening to Altair's introduction, the young lady said, "Give me some Skin Renewal Potion, Pleasant Fragrance, Warming Potion, Stutter Water..."
After receiving the potions, she asked again, "If I need to replenish these potions, how can I find you?"
"My beautiful lady, I will be selling in the North Borough during this period. If you need to replenish soon, you can often stroll the streets of the North Borough. If fate allows us to meet again, I will approach you proactively," Altair said in a hoarse voice.
After this sale to the young lady, Altair earned 21 copper pence.
She then changed streets and targeted a young man who had just come out of a restaurant, successfully promoting a bottle of 'Exhilaration Potion'.
Positive effect: similar to a certain blue pill from her previous life. Side effect: makes people lack self-control.
When she met middle-aged men, Altair would recommend 'Hair Growth Potion'; when she met middle-aged women, she would recommend 'Skin Tightening Water'... For young men, she would recommend prank potions... These people, upon hearing the effects of the potions, would generally buy at least one bottle, either for their own use or to prank others.
After the potions in the wooden box were sold out, Altair would find a nearby inn, rent a room, enter the Spirit World to retrieve her reserve stock, put them into the wooden box, and then go back to the streets to sell.
After repeating this process three times, it was already two in the afternoon. After selling out the last batch of potions, Altair returned to the Golden Sycamore Borough villa with a wooden box full of copper pence.
After casually counting the money in the wooden box, Altair found that she had received over 500 copper pence this time. Looking at the coins, she felt troubled, unable to think of a place to spend all this money.
After a quick lunch, she once again entered the laboratory and began brewing soup.
Before going to bed that night, she sensed her Beyonder characteristic. She found that selling potions for one day was equivalent to three days of 'Acting' in clothing. She thought, "It seems this method is quite useful. The potion output can be expanded now, which can speed up the completion of 'Acting'."
