Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Peaceful Times

The secret garden beneath our alchemy shop quickly flourished into a botanical wonderland, thanks to the accelerated growth provided by my unique abilities. Rare and exotic herbs that would take years to cultivate in natural conditions sprang to life within weeks.

The garden became a treasure trove of alchemical ingredients, boasting a vibrant array of plants with mystical properties. Among them were the luminous Starfire Orchids, which emitted a gentle, soothing light and were a key component in potions that enhanced one's clarity of mind. The Silverleaf Ferns, known for their silvery, metallic fronds, were essential for crafting protective talismans.

Word of our impressive selection of rare and potent ingredients spread throughout the city, drawing alchemists, scholars, and adventurers from far and wide. Our shop, Zhao's Alchemical Emporium, quickly gained a reputation as the premier destination for those seeking mystical elixirs and magical items.
