341 A Little Alchemy Wouldn't Hurt

(Brendan POV)

"Well?" Lian Li prodded me impatiently at the side.

I sighed, "It's just missing the tears now, I can't do anything else without it."

She tried to peer into the cauldron, stopping when I blocked her with my arm.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, the smell is frankly quite terrible," I warned.

She raised an eyebrow at me, "You seem to be just fine breathing it in just a few moments ago."

"I was not breathing it in, I had a bubble of air around me while I was making it. A standard Technique to have as an alchemist."

"Interesting… Unfortunately, I don't have the skill for that. Alchemy, I mean," Lian Li muttered.

I shrugged, alchemy by itself isn't really that hard, but the concentration and knowledge one needs to be an effective one is quite immense or else one might just be stuck at making stamina pills and potions for their entire career.
