After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower
Chapter 151 - 149 Medicine

Chapter 151: Chapter 149 Medicine

Li Pan had advanced some low-level medicinal materials to practice making Basic Level Potions.

She had followed Sister Qian’s guidance for refining, and it didn’t seem too difficult when she observed, but when she tried it herself, it was quite hard.

The main issue was the disobedience of the Fusion Factor; she hadn’t mastered the proper power to fully subdue the various energies’ rejection.

The result was as expected, almost all failures, no successes, and in five days, she had used up nearly one hundred thousand yuan worth of medicinal materials, a significant amount.

Li Pan wasn’t in a good mood, having wasted one hundred thousand yuan in just five days, which even for someone as frugal as her was hard to bear.

Feeling down, she wandered around the field, walking and looking around.

"What’s wrong, who upset you?"

Xue Dong had just finished his work and saw her walking with her head down along the farm ridge.

"I failed at refining potions. In five days, I wasted one hundred thousand yuan’s worth of medicinal materials."

She lowered her head and kicked the dirt on the ground as if to vent her frustration, dirtying her shoes in the process.

Xue Dong laughed heartily, "Refining potions isn’t that easy. You think you could learn it in five days, dream on. Fool, do you know how long Sister Qian and the others took to refine their first potion, and how much they cried? Back then, there was crying every night in the girls’ dormitory."

"I feel like crying too if I can’t refine it again. Back then, it was too hard for them, and the pressure was too great. These are my own cultivated medicinal materials, and failing makes my heart ache terribly. During the disaster, it was all warriors who went into the forest to gather them at the cost of human lives, you can imagine how great the mental pressure was."

"Yes, Sister Qian used to cry almost every day. I saw her hiding in the bathroom and slapping herself, the misery was unbearable. Every day, we could hear about warriors dying at the hands of mutant beasts and mutant plants, research on medicine was slow, and there were only a few potions available from above, not enough for everyone."

"Several female Wood Power Users were so anxious that they couldn’t sleep at night, running around the sports field, jumping with impatience, watching helplessly as warriors were sacrificed every day and being unable to help, just the mental pressure alone could crush someone."

Xue Dong looked at Li Pan with a gentle smile, "You see how tough it was for them, and yet with the guilt and responsibility weighing on them, they still managed to develop it. You have the notes and experience all ready, what are you afraid of? It’s only been five days. Our farm can afford a pharmacist, don’t be afraid."

Li Pan was comforted by him.

What he said was true, those years were too stressful for Sister Qian and the others. Despite that, they still beautifully completed the tasks assigned by the base, in the dire conditions where everything was in shortage and even food was scarce, they somehow managed to refine the medicine. It was truly an innovative feat.

Li Pan highly respected Sister Qian, Uncle Pei, and others. They had made monumental contributions for everyone at the base, having bled and created miracles.

"I’ll fetch some medicinal materials and go back to continue refining."

"Don’t rush it, let me take you to plan the planting of the Spirit Tree. Some of the spirit trees have sprouted small branches, and I plan to transplant them to make the farm even better."

"Great, I had thought of transplanting some parts near the artificial lake before. These spirit trees have the effect of purifying water sources and soil."

"Let’s go have a look."

Xue Dong led Li Pan, driving an electric tricycle to tour around No.7 Farm and No.9 Farm, arranging the positions for transplanting the spirit trees to further improve the climate, soil, water quality, and so on.

Alongside Zhang Qi, the two of them transplanted the small branches of the spirit trees to suitable locations, also giving Zhang Qi and Xie Ling directions on positioning, leaving space and setting up signs so there would be no problems later on.

After a large round, her mood brightened significantly, seeing the farm thriving, the air becoming fresher and cleaner, filled with various crops, as they were about to enter the winter slack period, with everyone making final preparations.

Now was the best time, what was there to worry about?

Li Pan went back to refining potions.

Eight days later, she had finally managed to channel the energies of various plant medicines, successfully fusing them together.

She produced her first Basic Level Potion, a superpower replenishing medicine, which falls under the category of a mild, non-discriminative supplement to superpower.

It was a Basic Level Potion, while moving up would be the Middle-level Potions, divided into the Five Elements.

Basic Level doesn’t differentiate, the replenishment isn’t much after consumption, and there might be some uncomfortable symptoms, and it tastes bad, but it indeed replenishes some superpower.

Upon finding the method, Li Pan understood what the problem had been; practice makes perfect, so she immediately threw herself into continuing her research.

She made several types of Basic Level Potions, including Detoxification Potions and Healing Potions, which were some of the most commonly used and most important Medicines.

She took these potions to Sister Qian for testing. If they passed, it meant she had essentially become proficient, and everything after that would depend on her own skill.

"Qi, are you going to the base?"

"Yes, Sister, do you need me to bring anything?"

"Can you take this to Sister Qian and ask her to test it when she has time?"

"Is this a Medicine you made?"

"Yes, I’ve managed to make it, but I’m not sure if it’s up to standards."

"I’ll take it over for you."

Zhang Qi nodded, took the items, and left.

Li Pan didn’t continue refining potions. This work was quite draining on her spiritual power, and she needed some rest.

She went to check on her cherished Spirit Plants. Xie Ling and Lin Tianyi were currently in the forest area, helping take care of them, and the Spirit Plants were willing to accept their superpowers.

However, Li Pan still made it a point to visit once or twice every day, careful not to neglect her duties.

The Spirit Plants were all well looked after and thriving, with no issues.

Xie Ling and the others had harvested some Medicinal Materials, planning to send them to the base to sell.

"Sister, how is your research on Medicines going?"

"It’s tentatively a success. I’ve figured out several Basic Level Potions. I sent them with Zhang Qi for testing. If they’re approved, I can start refining Basic Level Potions. I’m thinking of setting up a potion workshop; what do you think?"

"Sounds good, not just for researching Medications, but also for further investigating the deep medicinal effects and optimal use of these materials. Selling them directly as we have been feels like a bit of a loss. The base is government-owned, and they don’t share any research findings with us. We toil to grow these Medicinal Materials, but in the end, we don’t see any research benefits, which is not conducive to farm development."

"You’re right. I was already aware of this, but I didn’t have the capability to refine potions before, so talking about it was pointless. Now that we can refine Medicines ourselves, we need to research more useful Medications."

"Exactly."

"Alright, once Zhang Qi brings me the test report, and if it’s approved, you, Zhang Qi, and Lin Tianyi will all start refining Medicines. Don’t be afraid of failure or waste; it’s crucial for our farm to develop this area and take the initiative. The Medicine field still holds great potential for us."

"I understand."

Xie Ling nodded.

"By the way, where’s Wenwen?"

"She just went to No.9 Farm."

"Oh, when she gets back, have her give me a call."

"Alright."

Soon, Wenwen came running back. "Sister, you were looking for me?"

"Yes, I have something for you. I want you to go to the hospital to learn how to treat."

"That’s so sudden."

Wenwen wiped the sweat from her face.
