o minutes for the catalyst to be fully heated and prepared. ” Teacher Hala clarified, ”Hence the moment the leaf ’s pieces finish absorbing healing properties from the vanes, you could straightaway start the concoction. ”

Felix nodded his head in understanding as he had read that this was the method used by most witches who concoct bulks of rejuvenation potions.

There was another method but only master potioneer were capable of pulling it off.

In a short while, Teacher Hala opened up the lid and threw the mixture inside.
Instead of closing the lid, she whipped out her tail ’s eye and brought it closer to the bubbling green mixture.

Felix and the rest instantly switched their focus to the holographic screen that was synchronized with Teacher Hala ’s tail ’s eye.

The screen was currently displaying the microscopic world of the mixture!

However, it wasn ’t static at all but moving left, right, up, and down with a terrifying speed, making it almost impossible to see what was going on.

However, no one seemed bothered by their inability to see the process as they knew that when teacher Hala finishes, she would play it back in slow motion.

Thirty seconds later…Teacher Hala switched her vision to her normal eyes, making everyone focus back on her.
She immediately closed the lid and increased the fire to the limit.

Felix noted down everything she was doing since all of those steps were a must to make the concoction turn successful.
Especially the time!

It needed to be respected down to the second! Hence, teacher Hala turned off the fire exactly five seconds later while opening the cauldron ’s lid in one single motion!

Whoosh!

Greenish smoke surged from within the cauldron and spread throughout the area, making the witches near the caldron enjoy a fragment filled with life and vigor.

Teacher Hala smelt this fragment so many times she was numbed to it.
Thus, she went to the glassware table and picked an empty spherical glass potion.

When the smoke cleared, she lifted the cauldron with both hands and poured a lustrous greenish liquid inside the potion in a steady manner.

A few moments later, the potion was filled to the brim.
Teacher Hala placed the cauldron in its place and closed its lid.

Then, she held the potion before everyone and said calmly, ”If you have any questions about the external process feel free to ask before we switch to the internal process. ”

Whoosh!

Every witch in the class turned their heads to look at Felix like he was the dumbest person in the class.

Felix ’s lips twitched but he didn ’t raise his hand to voice a question.
He didn ’t have many troubles with external concoction since it wasn ’t really that hard for rejuvenation potion.

What he was finding difficulty with was the internal concoction that was based on the microscopic world.

Upon seeing that no one was lifting their hands; not even Felix, teacher Hala placed the potion on the table and clapped her hands twice.

”Pay attention to the screen. ” Teacher Hala mentioned while glancing at Felix, ”Rank 1 potions are the easiest to concoct for a simple reason.
You are not required to tamper with the molecules of the ingredients.
But simply supervise the mixture and destroy the Microorganisms that are refusing to die by heat. ”

Felix understood this much and even memorized the Microorganisms types and some of the common one ’s names.

For the types, there were bacteria, archaea, protozoa, algae, fungi, viruses, multicellular animal parasites.

Each type had characteristic cellular composition, morphology, mean of locomotion and reproduction.
Most of them could be easily killed by either heat or extreme coldness.

But the ones found in the materials used for the concoction were too tough to be killed by normal means.

Each material could host potentially millions of those microorganisms since they were rich in elemental energy, attracting them like bees getting attracted to flowers.

If they couldn ’t be killed to clean the materials completely, the potion concoction would be affected negatively since they would be merged with the mixture.

For potions that require meticulous steps and recipes, their existence made it impossible for them to succeed.

The only way to destroy them without affecting materials at all was by controlling mental energy at a microscopic level.

Any other method that was tested resulted in the materials getting affected.

Felix read that the Metal Race was still working to this day on creating a substance that could totally get rid of those microorganisms without leaving a trace like the Witches Spiritual Eyes.

So far, nothing was heard from this project.

But if it succeeded it meant that other races would be able to concoct basic rank 1 potions!

But only rank 1 potions since from rank 2+, the Potioneers would be required to interfere in the reaction itself above killing those microorganisms.

That ’s why Expert Potioners and above were a league on their own compared to Apprentice Potioners!
