I'm farming in the Pokémon world

On the way back, Jiang Yuan felt a cold wind blowing. The temperature dropped sharply after the sun went down. It was estimated that it had fallen below zero by now, otherwise the two pieces of clothing he wore in the morning would have been quite cold-resistant.

Jiang Yuan shuddered and moved closer to the Nine-Tailed Fox. The heat emanating from the Nine-Tailed Fox made Jiang Yuan feel much warmer. The Nine-Tailed Fox also felt the sudden drop in temperature, so it sped up.

After returning home, it was already completely dark. It was November now, and it was almost dark in Green Wood Town at five or six o'clock. Jiang Yuan saw frost on the windows, and knew that the temperature had gotten much lower. He quickly threw two pieces of charcoal into the fireplace. As the flames rose, the temperature in the room also warmed up.

Jiang Yuan sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, thinking about renovating the entire house. At least, in addition to the fireplace, he should install floor heating, so that even if the temperature drops further, the house will not be too cold.

"Looks like we need to leave early for Cerulean City."

Jiang Yuan silently calculated the upcoming expenses in his mind. He actually didn't have many Alliance coins on hand now. The various foods stored on the farm before winter were enough for all of them to survive the winter. He also bought a lot of elf food and arranged his grandfather's funeral. Now Jiang Yuan only had less than 20 Alliance coins on hand.

20 Alliance Coins may seem okay, but in reality it is not enough.

He silently calculated his expenses, including the farm's water, electricity, and other miscellaneous expenses every month. He basically had to keep 10 Alliance Coins for emergencies. The remaining 10 Alliance Coins were enough for ordinary people, but for Jiang Yuan, the things he wanted to buy would not even be enough for a fraction of the cost.

With a sigh, Jiang Yuan found that he still couldn't sleep well tonight. He had to rush to make some potions to sell, otherwise it would be of no use if he went to Hualan City.

Jiang Yuan took out the elf food that he had prepared for Nine-Tailed Fox before. This kind of elf food was an energy block that matched the training plan given by Xia Bo. It was called "Flaming Fire". The taste and the energy contained in it were very much in line with Nine-Tailed Fox's taste. Long-term consumption could increase Nine-Tailed Fox's affinity for fire and special attack capabilities.

Jiang Yuan put a big bowl of "Flaming Fire" energy cubes for Jiuwei, and then placed Miss Qun'er's food in front of the table. He told Jiuwei to keep an eye on the door, and then went to the workshop, as he had to rush to make some potions tonight.

The production room is on the fifth floor. It is where Jiang Yuan makes potions and conducts various experiments. Various precious machines are neatly and orderly placed in every corner, including the common fruit separators, energy synthesizers, and medicinal material cutters, as well as less common ones such as molecular mixers, energy forging machines, performance stabilizers, and so on.

The machines in the production room were all purchased by the Jiang family from the Alliance with great effort. Some of the machines were castrated versions due to the Alliance's requirements, but they can already meet the production needs of all mid- and high-level potions on the market, and even top-level potions can be configured. However, the success rate is terribly low.

However, precisely because the requirements for the configuration of top-level medicines are extremely stringent, machines that can handle these become even more important, so these machines are firmly in the hands of the alliance.

The potion that Jiang Yuan had to rush to make in the evening was the Jiang family's unique affinity potion, which was a relatively rare type of intermediate potion. It could increase the Pokémon's own perception of energy within three days of taking the potion, with the increase being about 30%. This potion was simple to make, but was several times more expensive than the intermediate potion of the same level.

Jiang Yuan looked at the densely packed medicine cabinets embedded in the wall, and then carefully took out the main medicinal ingredient for making the affinity potion from a cabinet, a teardrop-shaped, snow-white flower bud like an earring, named "Tear Ring Flower".

This tear ring flower has low flower clusters, lush flowers and leaves, and is not afraid of the cold spring. Moreover, the blooming season of this flower is different from that of common flowers. Only in the coldest winter can it produce tear ring flowers that can be used as medicine.

He walked to the bluestone platform where medicinal materials were processed with the tear ring flower. On this bluestone platform were placed Jiang Yuan's skilled medicine-making tools. Moreover, as long as he turned the green potted plants on the bluestone platform, the floor of the bluestone platform would sink as a whole, and then a secret basement would appear. In this basement were stored various treasures collected by the Jiang family.

Pinch off the petals of the tear ring flower with tweezers, then take out the remaining nine auxiliary medicines, arrange them in order, and divide the various medicinal materials neatly into four portions with a flick of the knife.

Jiang Yuan then took out a special combustion lamp, which could control the temperature of the flame on the lamp. Because the production of medicine requires very high temperature control, often just a slight temperature error would cause the entire medicine to fail.

Control the temperature well, put the medicinal materials into the dry powder and heat it. As the temperature changes, the medicinal materials slowly blend into the surrounding dry powder and turn into powders of various colors. Then add the heart of the tear ring flower.

The petals of the tear ring flower are one of the auxiliary medicines. Its effect is to enhance the perception of attribute energy. Through years of research and development by the Jiang family, the unique perception of the tear ring flower can be used on Pokémon.

This kind of perception is a talent for Pokémon, which is determined at birth and cannot be changed. Therefore, this potion has been in short supply since the Jiang family launched it. Even the Alliance attaches great importance to this potion. Basically, the annual output is monopolized by the Alliance, and sometimes even the Breeders Association does not get a turn.

However, the flowering time of each tear ring flower is different, so it is difficult to pick the flowers as soon as they bloom. The lily root dolls that take care of these tear ring flowers cannot be responsible for only one area, so Jiang Yuan can only harvest about 10 tear ring flowers as medicinal materials every year.

If the outside world could purchase the Tear Ring Flower, Jiang Yuan would be able to make a few more bottles of potion. However, this Tear Ring Flower is really difficult to collect. Basically, he cannot find this plant in the Kanto region. It may be found in the snowy mountains of the Sinnoh region, the Hoenn region, or the Kalos region.

Jiang Yuan looked at the medicinal materials on the burning lamp and saw that they had already merged into one. He took out four tubes of medicine and placed them on the bluestone table. Then he put equal amounts of powder into the test tubes and added some black melons. These black melons were just picked from the farm and placed in the warehouse.

The juice of this black melon will react with the powder and eventually become an affinity potion with special effects. Because this reaction does not require human control, Jiang Yuan believes that the affinity potion is the simplest intermediate potion.
