“Mr. Grimm, this opportunity only comes once,” Levi said calmly.
Grimm was in a dilemma. Finally, he sighed and smiled bitterly, “Sir, you win. How about this? You don’t need to pay me extra Aether Stones. You’re also a pharmacist, so I suppose you have the formula for the Naga’s Blessing Potion and the channels to obtain its ingredients. I hope that when you have more Naga’s Blessing Potions, you will give the Grimm Tower priority to purchase them. I have two sons and three daughters who are all apprentice wizards. It’s hard for me as a father…”
“Deal.” Levi smiled in satisfaction. “We can establish a long-term cooperation to exchange what we need and improve together.”
Levi thought, “Grimm is really fertile.” Generally speaking, there was not much difference between the fertility of low-level wizards and mortals. There were not many fertility barriers.
However, very few wizards would give birth to so many offspring. In this era, the cost of raising a child to become an official wizard was significant. Even if two wizards were to marry, it was impossible to guarantee that every child would have the qualifications of a wizard.
Most wizards focused on their own cultivation and strength. They would only use their money to nurture the next generation if the latter was really talented and worthy of investment.
A wizard family would only focus on nurturing one or two talented descendants. The rest might be cruelly abandoned and sent to the mortal gathering place specially established by the family to serve the wizard family and live an ordinary life.
In addition, the Pan-Plane Wizard Council had special laws to restrict the birth of wizards. They had considered that resources were limited and wizards had long lifespans. If they did not control the number of offspring, it would inevitably cause the Wizard World to be extremely short on resources. The resources could not replenish fast enough to keep up with their consumption, and it would not be conducive to the progress of wizard civilization.
Previously, the war between wizard civilization and other civilizations was due to the expansion of the wizard population. They needed new worlds to obtain resources. Every time the Pan-Plane Wizard Council conquered a new plane, they would increase wizard fertility quotas for a short time to allow them to explore and colonize the new plane.
It was rare for a wizard like Grimm to have five children. Grim would probably have had to pay many fines. It was no wonder that he needed so many Naga’s Blessing Potions.
Levi said, “I agree to your request. My name is Levi, and I am a registered pharmacist of the Gray Tower. Let’s sign a contract now.”
Playing with words like contract terms was Levi’s forte in his previous life. However, Grimm was a good person and was quite honest. Naturally, Levi would not play the tricks he knew on Grimm.
Then, he took out a contract slate and decided on the terms with Grimm. They signed the contract with the Soul Imprint of both parties. Once this contract was signed, neither party could violate it. The consequence of breaking it would be a backlash to their souls.
Both parties were happy with this arrangement.
Levi obtained the formula for the Electric Daisy Potion. In addition, Levi used another Naga’s Blessing Potion to exchange for 20 sets of materials for refining the Electric Daisy Potion from Grimm. This way, Levi did not need to look for materials for the potion.
Grimm also agreed to continue selling some materials for the Electric Daisy Potion to Levi.
Levi solved his meditation supplementary potion problem. At the very least, he no longer had to worry about potions before he reached the second-circle. Moreover, he could continue benefiting from the Electric Daisy Potion even in the second-circle.
“I will take my leave now. My goal has been achieved. There is nothing else I want from this festival.” Levi strolled around. The festival was fascinating. Winnie even sparred with others in the group arena. Marlene was chatting with her old friend. However, Levi did not like crowds. He only wanted to go home to cultivate and refine potions.
Levi said goodbye to Marlene and the others before leaving on Leviathan. With Ms. Marlene around, Levi was neither worried for their safety nor their means of returning home.
After returning to Black Fire Island, Levi took out the materials for the Electric Daisy Potion and attempted to refine it. He had reached level 8 Pharmacy and was already a senior First-Circle Pharmacist. Although the Electric Daisy Potion was slightly more complicated than the Sandman Potion, it was still a first-circle potion. Therefore, it was easy for Levi to learn how to make it.
A month later, the Haitian Wizard Festival ended without a hitch. Marlene and Winnie returned to the Gray Tower, and life in Area 9 returned to normal.
After failing once, Levi successfully refined his first Electric Daisy Potion.
After taking it, he entered the Sun Meditation Art’s meditative state. Due to being on Black Fire Island, Levi had progressed the Sun Meditation Art the fastest.
After completing a round of meditation, Levi looked at his proficiency panel. The potion functioned precisely as advertised. The Electric Daisy Potion was also a first-circle meditation supplementary potion, but it was much more potent than the Sandman Potion.
Levi returned to his routine of making and consuming potions as he cultivated.
A month later, Levi had used up all 20 sets of potion materials he had obtained from Grimm. His success rate in refining the potions was admirable; he had made 15 vials of Electric Daisy Potion.
With the help of the Electric Daisy Potion, Levi’s progress in the Sun Meditation Art and the Earth Meditation Art began to increase rapidly again, especially for the former. Due to the level 2 fire element power of Black Fire Island, his progress in this meditation art was the fastest.
Time passed peacefully. While Levi was cultivating, his companions in the Gray
Tower were doing well too. Levi learned that Claur, the master of the Tower of Flames in Hot Wind City, was still at large. So was his lover, the Red Flame Witch.
On the other hand, the Lush Forest Witch had hired a large wizard ship to move the Lush Forest Tower away from Hot Wind City. No one knew where she had gone to cultivate, and there had been no news of her since.
The Pharmacist Association in Area 8 declared bankruptcy. Ultimately, the
Pharmacist Association headquarters merged all their offices in Area 7, Area 8, Area 9, and Area 10 into the Pharmacists Association in Area 7. This was the residence of one of the three major wizard families in the Yellow Earth Continent, the Wham family. This was a family with the Storm Faction as the main force. The family head was a legitimate Third-Circle Pharmacist.
During these two years, Levi and Grimm maintained a close business relationship. To refine the Electric Daisy Potion, Levi lavishly spent the 30,000 Aether Stones that he had previously saved. Although he had income from the Warhammer Joint, it could not compare to his expenditure.
It was the Year 1034 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Vitality.
The herbs on Black Fire Island thrived under the Cloud Mist array and the care of the Swordsman Mantises.
The Bone Snake Igor was lazily basking in the sun. He was living a good life. In Hell, he had to worry about being eaten by powerful beings, but he lived a life of leisure here.
The seventh generation of Sacred Insect larvae was about to reach adulthood. The Sacred Insect’s growth cycle was relatively short, and their lifespans were short. However, because their reproduction speed was decent, there was no need to worry about their numbers. They were slowly approaching 10,000 in number.
In the Black Fire Cave, Levi just completed cultivating a cycle of the Sun Meditation Art. As the spiritual force in his mind grew, he felt refreshed. He opened his eyes and quickly placed his hand on the Klein Crystal.
[Spiritual Force: 30]
[Spell Power: 560]
Levi exclaimed, “I now have 30 points of spiritual force.”
“In the blink of an eye, I’m also 44 years old.”
After having 30 points of spiritual force, Levi’s gaze became even more serious. He stood up and emitted the spiritual force fluctuations of a senior wizard.
Then, he opened the proficiency panel.
[Levi]
[Sun Meditation Art: Level 5 (23/30000)]
“Now that I am a senior First-Circle Wizard, I am not far from the Second-Circle, ” said Levi, full of confidence..
