Limits.

The next extract I wanted to create, was from the Blood Yarn . Throughout the time I"ve been in Apium, I received around 40 Blood Yarns . This alone, would be enough to make something powerful . I check at which point the impurities would be extracted . What I saw, totally stunned me . "This Blood Yarn… It has almost no impurities…" I thought .

I could extract about 90-95% of properties without any impurities . This was amazing news, I could use less plants to make more Extract . As I was testing it, an idea came to my mind "What if, I can make it even stronger?" I thought . I recalled that the building near the lake, had distillery . If I could condense the Extract even more, what would happen then? I couldn"t wait to find out, so I made an Extract from 5 Blood Yarns . I received around 350 millilitres of the Extract .

With the Extract in hand, I went to the lake, and entered the building . Sha greeted me, and said "You did a lot for our people . I already know that you have permission to study the plants here . Feel free to do so, whenever you wish . If you need live specimen, just ask, we will provide that for you" . I nodded, and said "Thanks, but that is not why I"m here today" .

She became surprised, and asked "If not for the plants, then for what?" . I replied "I need to use your distillery . I want to test something" . She must"ve been thinking about something else, because her reply was… weird . "Oh, so it was that . Feel free to use it as much as you like" she said, with a bit of disappointment in her voice . I didn"t think much of it, and thanked her .

I set up the distillery next, and poured the Blood Yarn Extract into the first container . I only used 100 millilitres, as I just wanted to test some things out . Next, I started the fire, and let the extract evaporate to the next container . I left it, until almost all of the extract evaporated . It was the opposite process, compared with Serelis .

Soon, the Extract evaporated to the next container, and what was left stunned me . There was some kind of substance, left at the bottom of the first container . I didn"t distil it more, and checked the results . The extract that evaporated to the second container, became weak, very weak . The substance that was left in the first container, was a gooey liquid . It was still red, but very deep red . Darker than the blood, coursing through my veins .

I took it out, and examined it extensively . After some time, I finally realised what it was . "Was I wrong the whole time? Did I really explore the limits of Extracts? This alone proves, that what I accomplished till now, were no Extracts . This thing is" I thought . What I discovered, was a real Extract . The gooey liquid was so strong, that the Extract I made of the Blood Yarn, was a laughingstock . "If compared by volume, this gooey liquid is at least 10 times stronger, than what I managed to accomplish till now, with my Extracts" I thought . This stunned me, and I realised, how powerful the Art of Medicine could really be .

I decided to separate my Extracts into categories . The normal Extracts, that required herb cooking, until only the strongest properties were left, would be called Prime Extracts . While the distilled Extracts, would be called Zenith Extracts . I converted the rest of the Prime Blood Yarn Extract to Zenith Extract, and received about 20 millilitres of the gooey liquid .

"My thoughts were correct, and the experiment proved it . I need this tool . I want to have it with me, at all times" I thought, and went over to Sha . I asked her "Can you tell me, where can I get that tool for myself? I find it very useful, and would like to own one" . She replied "We ordered it, so it"s not something you can just buy . This thing costs quite a bit though . If you can pay me, I may be able to commission one, to be made for you" .

I asked "How much would you need, to place the order?" . She thought for awhile, and said "If you want the same as this one, you will need around 350 Black Hals" . I sucked in some air, while she continued "I told you, it"s expensive . Even if I order it now, you will wait for it a bit" . I shook my head, and said "I don"t have that much" . She smiled, and said "You can use this one, as much as you like . After all, we don"t use it that often anymore" .

I nodded, and said "I"m grateful for that, but it was more for when I leave Apium . I would like to have this tool with me . I will try to get that money, and we will see" . She nodded her head, and said "As you like . Anyway, why are you so interested in that tool now? Did you figure something out?" . I replied "It"s for something else, not Serelis . I will come back here often though, as I want to check the Ophilis Reeds in more details, and try to solve the lifespan problem" .

She smiled, and said "You are always welcomed here" . I then left, and returned to my own room . "I have to make more Prime Extracts . With that kind of potent stuff, I wonder what it will do, to my blood purification process" I thought, and prepared to make Prime Extract, from all the Blood Yarns that I had . When everything was done, I went back to the lake, and used the distillery again . Sha looked at me, as I was working . She was probably interested, what was it exactly, that I was doing .

With the process of distilling the Prime Extract done, I had about 120 milliliters of Zenith Blood Yarn Extract . "I can"t intake all of this . I will die, if I do . 10 milliliters of this Extract, is equivalent to about 180 milliliters of Prime Extract . I think that my body will be able to take 30 milliliters at max . More than that, and it would be a problem" I thought . Sha walked over, and asked "What is that thing exactly?" . I replied "It"s my own creation . This is the medicine, I created to purify my blood . This stuff is ultra powerful, and your Fraction"s creation, is no comparison to this" .

She looked at it, and asked "Is it that amazing?" . I replied "Yes . If I show it… . Hmmm" . She looked confused, and asked "Show it to who?" . I smiled, and said "I gotta run . Maybe, I will be able to afford that distillery after all" . She waved goodbye, but was still a bit confused . I ran straight to the fields, to find Ulon . "If I could sell it to Florin, raising 350 Black Hals shouldn"t be a problem, probably . If not Atols, I can always sell this to Royal Lizards, or try with Shades" I thought .

I found Ulon in his house, and asked "Can I meet with Florin . I think I might have something interesting for her" . Ulon was surprised, and asked "What is it this time?" . I replied "I have this here, my new invention", and showed him the Zenith Blood Yarn Extract . He took a look, and examined it . As he was about to taste some, I stopped him, and said "Don"t do that" . He stopped himself, and asked "This is very strong medicine, what is it exactly?" .

I replied "This is the Blood Purifying Medicine, that I made . It"s much stronger, that what you can make currently" . He looked at it, and asked "How strong is that thing?" . I replied "Show me yours, and I will tell you" . He returned my Extract, and retrieved his own Blood Purifying Medicine . I checked it out, and it was very weak, not as weak as the leftovers of my distilled Extract, but still weak . I said "This is at least 50 times weaker, than my invention" .

He sucked in some air, and asked "That much?" . I nodded, and said "This thing, is very valuable . Even if you can take it only once, the effects of that would be stunning" . He nodded his head, and said "Alright, let"s go . I wonder myself, what Florin is going to say" .The next extract I wanted to create, was from the Blood Yarn .
