Novel Bin 561 Chapter 559
Although Leon was still hesitating in using blood as a means of attack, using it his own could surprise his enemies in life or death situations. So, that was why Leon thought of another skill to solve one problem that bothered him since the moment the monsters appeared. It was his weight loss whenever he recovered from a significant injury.
"While relying on recovery and simple healing spells alone, I can\'t counter those after effects," Leon said. "But considering that mana can create anything, then perhaps there is a way to create potions that heal my wounds without making me lose weight."
The easiest option would be to create a potion using Mind Summoning. Even though Leon could create potions using that, he couldn\'t make a potion that could recover his blood and restore his damaged flesh without understanding the logic behind it. The first step was to learn how to create such a potion. After that, Leon would be able to mass-produce if he wants using Mind Summoning.
"There is no tome in Ilyana\'s vault that can teach me how to create potions, but there must be a way," Leon said.
Leon already knew more or less how to create mana liquid. That was the first step to learn how to create potions himself, but he didn\'t know how the magical leaves worked, well, he knew, but he didn\'t understand how it was possible since he wasn\'t a scientist and never asked if someone studied those plants further. Still, it shouldn\'t be that difficult. He knew how to make mithril, after all.
Regardless, Leon started creating a leaf similar to the blue angel leaves using Transmute. He didn\'t feel any magical power in it, so Leon had to add magical power and thus create a leaf that restores mana upon consumed. That was easier said than done, but then again, Leon had a lot of free time in his hands.
It took Leon a few days, but in the end, he succeeded and obtained much more than he expected. The trick behind was straightforward, Leon just had to Transmute anything in the shape of a leaf, but he had to infuse some extra mana while the leaf was being created. Even leaves had things like veins, and Leon just had to store it there.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Mana Manipulation.

It seemed a bit too late to learn something like that, but Leon welcomed the notification. Most likely, to obtain that skill Leon had to have sufficient control over his own mana. Control was something that he rarely practiced. The only thing Leon really practiced was how to destroy things using his mana.
"Well, now instead of the leaves, I just have to turn them into powder and mix with water and put it inside a bottle," Leon said.
Although the process of creating leaves that restore health and stamina would be different, Leon was a little more interested in what would happen if he tries to do all those steps at the same time. He was hoping a lot for that because he couldn\'t imagine Alchemy to be a skill that doesn\'t belong to a tree of other skills.
As expected, creating the earth, turning into glass, putting water, and add the dust of the blue angel leaves inside a bottle all at the same time wasn\'t easy. But eventually, Leon succeeded in doing so. Somehow, he thought it had been a little too fast, but soon Leon understood why.

"Mmm... it restores fifty points of mana, I guess it was to be expected since I use mana to create the glass and the water," Leon analyzed the potion and concluded. "Still, but it should get better the more I level up the skill. No... it would be way too weird If I create a potion that restores more mana than I use. However, Potion Mastery will do that."
Leon expected to learn a skill to create potions automatically, but that was a bit too much. In any case, the experiments were far from over. To create red angel leaves, instead of infusing his mana, Leon had to apply a small scale regeneration spell on the veins of the leaf. And to create the green angel leaves, Leon had to do something, but instead of using Regeneration, he had to use Stamina Restoration.

"No notifications this time, huh," Leon said. "I guess it can\'t be helped..."
Leon managed to learn how to create very efficient potions, but it looked like he would have to make enhanced versions of those in order to obtain the effects he desired. Perhaps a more powerful version of Potion Mastery would grant him that, but it was hard to be sure.
"Mmm? I already know how to make better potions. I just have to add monsters\' blood," Leon said.
The current monsters trying to kill him were vampires, so using their blood wasn\'t possible. Still, Leon wondered if he could have his own blood to obtain the same effects. He wasn\'t hypocrite enough to say that his blood was better or worse than of the monsters, but in the end, he decided just to do a few tests because using his blood as a catalyst for potions was like creating a bank of his own blood. It wasn\'t a bad idea, but considering that he would lose some time and wouldn\'t be able to take those potions to outside that dimension, it would also be inconvenient.
