Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

After entering the building that Ning had bought, the old woman Gaani made a shocked gasp.

"You bought such a great building with your own money?" the old woman was truly surprised. The pristine white walls and ceiling, the spotless paint.

It had a solid floor made out of concrete, rather than wood like her old house. The old woman wasn't expecting the house to be so good.

"Yes, I rented the first 2 floors and the underground for myself," Ning said.

Ning showed the old woman around the first floor where she would be staying. There were multiple rooms in there and all of them were practically empty aside from some simple equipment.

"I will put your items in the living room. You can later decide where you want to keep them," Ning said.

"Hurry, hurry, I want to see how the kitchen is, if it is not fit for making potions, I will go find a different place to live in," the old woman said.

Ning chuckled and put all of her items from the old house in that room before walking back to show her the kitchen.

When the old woman entered and saw the massive kitchen, she was happy. But, once she saw the small, congested stovetop with only 2 stoves, she frowned.

"That's it? I thought big houses had more stoves in them," the old woman said. "I can't make potions with these small stoves."

"Don't worry about that, Mrs. Gaani. The place to make potion is separate from this one," Ning said and brought the two along to a staircase.

As soon as they walked up the stairs, the old woman saw an open space, with no rooms at all.

However, this place was not empty at all.

The old woman walked forward and saw a row of desks on the left side of the open floor, which when she paid a closer look were actually stoves.

She couldn't help but show a shocked expression when she saw nearly 20 stoves lined up in about 4 different rows.

And every single one of the stoves had a glass beaker on top of it with different colored liquids in each of them.

"Are those all… potions?" the old woman asked in shock.

"No, they aren't," Ning said and walked forward.

The old woman followed him and she could only then see the right side of the room that had the wall full of shelves from start to end.

Each of these shelves and giant containers filled with liquid of hundreds of types.

There were about 10 shelves in total, each shelf holding somewhere around 40 to 50 giant containers with liquid.

"What is this?" the old woman asked.

"I will tell you after you look in here," Ning said and pointed towards a door to the side of the shelves that the old woman hadn't noticed before.

"So it isn't an open floor?" she asked.

"It mostly is, but there is also a separate room there for whatever I may need, and there is a bathroom on that side," Ning pointed to the other side of the floor to a door there.

"What's inside?" the old woman was curious, so she opened the door to the room and was suddenly met with cold air to her face.

The air was too cold for her, so she quickly closed it, not before taking a peek inside to see what it had.

"So many potions!" the old woman's voice rose to a screech in surprise. Never in her life had she seen so many potions in such giant containers before.

"Young man, just how many potions have you made?" she shouted.

Ning chuckled again. "Those aren't potions, Mrs. Gaani, those are ingredients of potions," Ning said.

"Huh?" the old woman was confused a little.

"Come, let me show you," Ning said and brought her forward to an open desk.

"What potion would you like you to make?" Ning asked.

"What?" the old woman looked confused.

"Uh, let me choose for you. Let us make a Fatigue Removing potion today, okay?" Ning asked.

The old woman nodded to go along with what he wanted to do.

"You know the recipe right?" he asked and brought out a piece of paper to write down the recipe.

"I know the recipe, young man. I taught you it mys— wait, that's not the proper ratio," the old woman said when she saw the recipe Ning had just written.

"Don't worry. I have experimented a bit, and for what I need to do, this is the correct recipe," he said.

"Come."

He took her along with him to the shelves, and only then did the woman see the many names written on the container of the giant liquid.

They truly were all ingredients. Some were ingredients that even she didn't know about.

"Let's take 2 parts of Blue Orange's peel, 1 part of Thunder Pine's bark, 1 part of Morning Glory, 2 parts of Novice roots…" he continued saying the recipe of the ingredients as he went around the shelves looking for the ingredients.

Every time he found the ingredients, he would use a hollow glass rod with a marking on it to take out that many amounts of liquid from the giant containers.

When he finally put the 3 parts of Frost Berry's seed, the vial in his hand was now full.

Then, he put a stopper on the vial and violently shook it for about 10 seconds.

Then, he handed it over to the old woman, who saw the sky blue-colored liquid inside the glass vial.

When she saw that, she could not hide the shock on her face at all.

"This is the Fatigue removing potion," she said with a surprise. That was the exact color of what it was supposed to be.

She opened the stopper and the smell was undeniably belonging to the potion.

In a single gulp, she drank the whole thing, and within seconds, she could feel the tiredness she was feeling from today's moving ordeal vanish just like that.

"So you can make any and all potions whenever you want to?" she asked with shock in her face.

"Yes," Ning said with a smile.

The old woman thought for a while and said, "Teach me too."
