Ugh, how much of this nonsense do I have to take as bait? If I convert 9,200 yen to Korean won, it's around 73,000 won. But asking for 180,000 won, claiming th...

The alchemist's words struck him as somewhat arrogant—a bad habit, perhaps, picked up from dwelling among the elves. But Hua Mi wasn't one for nitpicking; he had no interest in measuring his wits against this man's.
Arrogant he might be, but if the benefits provided satisfied him, that was all that m...

Carefully examining the Wind Wing Elixir in his hand for a while, he could sense the magic within and its resonance with his own energy.
That was proof enough of its quality.
In the realm of alchemical potions, it could be deemed excellent.
Huayu Town at this time was filled with ice and snow elements.
For instance, crystal ornaments hung at the entrance of every household.

The so-called "Wind Patron" attribute.
In simpler terms, it's about gaining the favor of the wind.
For example.
The Wind Chime Flower wasn't named for its resemblance to wind chimes. Instead, its affinity for the wind element caused it to create a small magical field around its petals once it blossomed.
This field, while absorbing the wind element, resonated, producing a clear bell-like sound, hence the name "Wi...
