Blood Replenishing Potion

After finding the loophole in the system mission, Su Ran led the three witches to “set off towards the door and state their intention to go to Tukulu.”

She, Su Ran, had indeed “set off for Tukulu” with the witches.

‘It’s just that your mission didn’t specify that we actually have to arrive, which means as long as I get moving, it should count. I even went to the trouble of walking all the way downstairs for this.’

Out of the three witches’ sight, Su Ran stood in place and had a brief staring contest with the system.

‘Give me a straight answer, does the mission count as complete or not! It’s clearly your mission description that wasn’t clear, and now you’re blaming me!’

[Mission content requires Isa to arrive in Tukulu.]

“I don’t care. Even if my understanding was wrong, aren’t you even a little bit at fault? It’s just a book, anyway. Consider it compensation for me!”

Crossing her arms in front of her chest to relieve the soreness in her shoulders, Su Ran was determined to wear the system down this time and make it complete the mission.

When constructing a magic essence circuit, choosing one that suited her was extremely important for Su Ran.

[…]

[Mission Complete. One Magic Essence Circuit Compendium obtained. Host, please check your inventory.]

Fortunately, the standoff with the system that Su Ran had anticipated didn’t happen.

This time, the system didn’t delay for long in settling the mission reward.

In less than a moment, the mission’s reward was sent to Su Ran’s inventory.

“Maimai!”

Philly’s alarmed cry came from inside the house.

Su Ran’s previously relaxed expression changed, and before she could even take a closer look at the Magic Essence Circuit Compendium in her inventory, she rushed toward the source of Philly’s voice.

Before she even entered the room, she saw Maimai being helped into a chair, her cheeks deathly pale with a sickly pallor. She was forcing herself to stay alert, quietly saying she was fine.

[Name: Maimai]

[Status: Lacking blood, spiritually weak (The destruction wrought by the Soul Vessel on her spirit and body caused an abnormal consumption of blood and spirit during the period of control.)]

[Recommended Treatment Plan: Premium Option 98 yuan, Preferred Option 68 yuan, Standard Option 30 yuan.]

This time, the treatment pop-up window appeared much slower than it did when treating Philly.

But since it had appeared, Maimai’s injuries were no longer a problem for Su Ran. She immediately paid the ninety-eight yuan for the best treatment plan for Maimai.

After all, they would be spending a lot of time on the road to Tukulu, without the comfortable environment of the house, so it was best to treat Maimai’s injuries as soon as possible.

[Premium Treatment Plan: A blood-replenishing potion made with Isa’s witch ability. Consuming it for a period will remedy the blood deficiency in Maimai’s body. As for the spiritual weakness, it can be resolved through more sleep. A thorough treatment can be administered when the time is right.]

“This is your ‘premium’ treatment plan?”

Several dark lines instantly appeared on Su Ran’s forehead.

‘This isn’t right. It was also ninety-eight yuan before, so why could it directly heal Philly’s injuries back then?’

‘But now, it requires using Isa’s witch ability, and even the spiritual weakness can only be resolved through sleep.’

‘At this price, it should have been in the sixty-eight yuan tier before.’

Su Ran reasonably concluded that it was definitely because she had just exploited the system’s loophole that it was now slacking off, unwilling to even lift a finger.

[The user you are trying to reach is busy. Please try again later.]

Alright, if she was only sixty percent sure before, now Su Ran was one hundred percent certain.

The system was definitely feeling guilty!

As if guessing Su Ran’s thoughts, the system displayed another line of text.

[Philly’s injuries were from the corrosion of a magic essence circuit, which is different from physical damage. Furthermore, using spiritual treatment on a weakened Maimai has a chance of causing mental confusion after a successful treatment. It is recommended to wait until she has recovered to a certain extent before using it.]

“That’s not right. You never used to explain so much. Be honest, are you trying to earn back the money from the mission you just gave me?”

[The user you are trying to reach is busy. Please try again later.]

Faced with the system’s “busy” message again, Su Ran decided to be the bigger person and not bother arguing with it. As long as the method it provided was effective, that was all that mattered.

The priority was to help Maimai recover.

“Careful!”

Maimai, who had been resting on the sofa, tried to stand up but was stopped by Isa, who noticed her legs were still trembling.

So, Isa had her sit back down, while Philly was even preparing to carry Maimai back to her room to rest.

“Isa.” Before Isa could turn towards the voice, Su Ran appeared beside her and whispered, “With your current witch ability, you can create blood-replenishing potions, right?”

“Your Highness, how did you know I learned to make blood-replenishing potions after advancing to Sequence Two?”

“Of course I know.”

Facing Isa’s question, Su Ran gave a playful wink.

Seeing Her Highness Su Ran like this, Isa shyly lowered her head, her heart filled with sweetness.

‘Her Highness’s eyes are like gems, so sparkly and beautiful, and she even winked at me!’

“Maimai’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet. She needs to take blood-replenishing potions for a period of time.”

“The ingredients for the blood-replenishing potion are not complicated, and I happen to have the necessary herbs.”

To treat Maimai, Isa took out various colored herbs from her ring and used her witch ability to purify and break them down.

After reaching Sequence Two, Isa’s speed at purifying medicinal components had increased significantly, requiring almost no long waiting time.

In less than a moment, the initial white glow gradually faded, revealing the liquid of various medicinal components, which Isa wrapped into a ball with her magic essence and placed in a vial for later use.

Isa focused her attention, controlling the different colored liquids to merge in an orderly fashion. After the liquid ball was injected, it slowly turned into a light brown potion that exuded a sweet aroma.

Once the fluctuation of magic essence rising from Isa’s body subsided, she properly stored the potion she had made.

It was just that the potion vial in Isa’s hand looked a bit familiar, as if Su Ran had seen it somewhere before.

Without waiting for Su Ran to take a closer look, Isa immediately handed the vial containing the potion to Maimai after making it, gesturing for her to drink it directly.

Maimai caught a whiff of the sweet scent wafting from the vial’s mouth and drank it all in one gulp without a second thought.

Not long after, the blood-replenishing potion took effect in Maimai’s body. A warm feeling spread throughout her, making her yawn.

Her eyelids grew heavy and began to fight to stay open, and soon, she fell asleep.

Gently stroking the bangs on Maimai’s forehead, Philly said with great tenderness, “Maimai usually doesn’t like taking medicine. I didn’t expect her to be so obedient this time.”

“It might have something to do with my past experiences.”

“Unlike the potions sold outside, maybe it’s because of Isa herself.”

The potions she made with her witch ability, as long as they were for others to take, she always tried to make them in a more palatable flavor.

And the sweetness of candy was her most commonly used flavor.
