’Sun drop tea leaf

This is a tea leaf that was able to properly absorb the elemental manas it needed after the world was returned to the proper state. This tea leaf absorbs high amounts of both light and fire energy,.. Therefore it is a dual affinity herb that focuses on these two elemental manas much more powerfully than what other herbs do. Because of this, it has a very unique form of healing effects on the body. Specifically for soreness in muscles. While it is definitely useful to be dried and drunk in hot water as tea, it is much more beneficial when used to make very condensed potions that will relieve muscle fatigue in just a drop or two for the elderly or those who had harsh muscle training or work. The process to condense it is…’

Walker knew that this would eb a very good thing to bring to Remey. He took the chance to follow Midnight to the bush of sun drop tea leaves. After a few moments, he followed what the all around appraisal had also told him and picked only certain leaves. While he had the skills to better see where herbs should be pruned or cut from, he didn’t need them right now. The alla round appraisal had told him only to pick the leaves at the top of the bush. These were the newest growth and had the potent sap needed to transfer the benefits within the plant. This was also due to the fact that it was the most easily healable aspect of the bush. It was focused on growing from the bottom up. Therefore, the leaves at the top were the newest growth and the bush would repair damage there quicker. Especially since more sprouted leaves would appear there within a few days anyways. He also made note that the leaves should be used within at least a week after being picked. This meant that the seeds for this bush would be more valuable than the leaves unless they were pickled and sold very quickly and locally. Thus, Genesis would have someone that could start an entirely new business around growing just these herbs. Walking further, midnight and Walker gathered more here and there. The two enjoyed their time and were amazed to see how many people worked hard on these herb fields. The herbalists were pulling weeds along with pruning quick growing herbs. Nothing appeared to be out of place

’Venom weed

This is not an herb but a poisonous weed. The small fibers on the edge of each leaf cause a sharp stinging that gives them a name like venom weed. They can not be eaten and if they are will cause severe stress on the body. They did not exist as of a few months ago. They came about due to the chaotic mana that settled within them. Now they are a chaotic influenced species that will grow larger the more chaotic manas are within the area. They can also become fully corrupted and become a corrupted venom weed monster…’

This single all around appraisal shocked Walker. He had not expected to see anything left from all the chaotic mana that had pushed itself in to the world. Yet, why was it still there? How could a bit of chaotic mana anything exist? Shouldn’t the world eb regulating its mana and chaotic mana would not be able to gather in the world any more?

”I think we have all been idiots. Chaotic mana won’t just go away.” Walker felt that they had all expected things to be too perfect. The world had returned to the flow it should have, yes. But what else? The chaotic mana would have normally been coming inside from the spaces between the elemental planes. That Was just how having connections to the planes properly would end. Therefore, it was logical to conclude that the chaotic mana was just part of existence as a whole. It would have to be there because it was the foil to the balanced manas that were always all around the world as a whole. Naturally, the chaotic mana would have to be there. It was balanced after all. ”Corrupt monsters, corrupted everything will still exist. Just rarer.” Walker sighted and began walking toward the alchemy guild again. He would hold this off for a bit later. This was their new reality safer all. It would just become something that they had to focus on when it came to light. The direct route to the alchemy lab is very well traveled. Many people carried bags or carts toward the alchemy guild. These were the family members of herbalists or transportation services. They had become a very profitable business for those that were able to snag the position. The herbalists need people to travel with bulk herbs, and the guild needed them delivered in a timely manner. As Walker and Midnight shook themselves out of their thoughts, they noticed how busy the alchemy guild was. It appeared that they had shown up right in the middle of a large potion shipment leaving for the markets. Many of the apprentices watched as their first potions approved by their teachers were sent away. This was very impressive to see since it was a big moment for any alchemy apprentice. Especially since in the past, many would have had to wait triple the time to even be able to make one of these potions. The way that the alchemy guild had changed the methods of learning how to make potions in to a more structured class was spectacular. Instead of having apprentice that needed to pay their way in to an alchemy building, then follow the orders of a master for years before they learned, they were learning every day. It would make the potions better all over the world to follow this structure. As they walked inside, Walker smelled the potent scent of herbs. Even a slight acrid scent from the poor apprentices that had failed. He wasn’t surprised to see some echidna who had come inside so that they could help the many masters learn more. Some of them were focused on the natural aspect of herbs and how to better utilize manas to be able to meet the herbs with one another. This sort of learning would be harder to comprehend. Yet, it would be invaluable to the alchemists that earned it. Moving upstairs, Walker and Midnight ignored the office that they knew was Remey’s they also ignored the old master Alchemist’s office too. Why would they sue them when there were high quality alchemy set ups just waiting for them throughout the entire guild building. Especially since it was going to be expanded again at some point. It was all due to more people coming to Genesis again. When they made it to the highest quality lab, they heard the sound of glass hitting other glass. A clear sound that they had actually been lucky with their time of arrival. They entered to find that the old master alchemist was watching Remey pour the last of a potion in to a set of vials. The old master alchemist had retired after help with the grand fire potion. Now, he was just there to watch Remey keep changing the world. She was his daughter for every intent and purpose. He refused to miss even a second of what she could accomplish while he still breathed. ”Look who it is. The heroes come to visit their fellow hero.” the old master alchemist was teasing them. He appeared to be very jovial after seeing whatever potion Remey had made completed perfectly. ”Wwe stopped by the herb fields and found a few good herbs. Even one that was once a tea plant but awakened after the world fixed itself.” Walker showed off the small bag of golden leaves that Midnight and he had picked. ”It’s called sun drop tea leaves. They have a muscle relaxing effect. Helps heal them from soreness. It can be condensed in to a potion or drunk as a tea. Thought you would like it.” Midnight stood proudly as Walker handed over the leaves explaining them. She wanted to try them since she enjoyed the smell of them already. Remey corked the last potion vial then immediately grabbed the tea leaves. A deep smell later, and she smiled more than she had all day. ”This should be great to make a potion of. You have some ideas, right?” Her face showed that she knew Walker would have some good answers. His all around appraisal was always too good just to leave everyone wondering something. ”And yes, we will make it with you. But we should make a cup of tea first? Take a break and see what it’s like?” Walker saw Remey nod as she made moved to grab what she needed. …
