The research fell into a deadlock, lasting an agonizing four weeks.
The main problem was the sheer amount of prerequisite knowledge required, without any teacher to teach him and relying purely on self-study, those documents and literature were tough to digest.
So, in frustration, Link decided to temporarily put the pharmacological and potion-related parts of the experiment aside and focused exclusively on studying the various properties of a plant itself by the name of "Glasswort Herb."
Pomona Sprout's Talent for Botany really came in handy.
Link tested all the operations that had been or hadn't been performed on the Silver Star flower, as well as any new insights that popped up, on the Glasswort Herb.
Some yielded positive results, some had no effect at all, and some even had adverse effects.
The result was that Link had a thorough understanding of the Glasswort Herb, which was rare in the Tudor region.
Unfortunately, the research results couldn't be published as a "thesis."
