Medicinal Pastes

"So, I just put it all here and start mixing it?" Alex thought for a moment as he read the talisman again and started crushing the ingredients in the mortar and pestle.

Most of the ingredients were plants, but there were some that were from beasts too. However, unlike Alchemy, very few of them were from beasts.

As Alex crushed the ingredients, he started noticing the flaw of the medicinal pastes. Even as he crushed it, energy left the ingredients and flew away.

Unlike a cauldron with a lid, mortal and pestle couldn't contain the energy. Still, it wasn't like he was burning the ingredients, so not much energy left the ingredients.

Having never done this before, it took a while before the paste came to be as smooth as he wanted it to be.

'That looks like it will work,' he thought and brought out the sword from his storage ring and cut a line along the back of his arm.
