Chapter 34: Chapter 33

"A potion formula that can raise spiritual force?" Kroft was a little surprised.

"The success rate of brewing these potions is too low and the resources required are extremely expensive. Many Potioneering Masters have lost their family fortunes over this, and only those with a strong family background are able to reap the benefits…"

Although Leylin's Potioneering talent was highly outstanding, Kroft still felt that his apprentice had set his goals a little too high.

"Sir, you know it too. My aptitude is Fourth-grade acolyte. Although it's considered to be a good aptitude, I am but a Simple acolyte without any backing, I want to solidify my foundation. Breaking through to a Magus is easiest when it's done at a young age, so I want to give it a gamble."

Leylin spoke softly.

"Oh… You!" Kroft sighed and sat down slowly, "I do have a few basic potion formulas for raising the spiritual force, but I signed a contract preventing me from reselling the formulas when I got them from other parties. As for my own formulas, I don't know if you are able to afford them…"

"How many magic crystals are they worth?" he asked.

"Haha! I knew you wouldn't give up. 5000 magic crystals, and that's only because you're my apprentice!"

Leylin showed a stunned expression but inwardly snickered, To the current him it's a small enough price. He mostly wants to get his hands on Tears of Mary, The Ancient Potion but since he can afford Kroft original one too, he will get it.

"Developing a potion formula for raising spiritual force requires a Potioneering Master to spend a dozen, or even several dozens, of years on continuous experimentation, and the consumption for this is immense. Moreover, possessing an exclusive formula usually boosts a Potioneering Master's family development. Hence, it is within reason for potion formulas to be this costly."

Having a monopoly will yield the greatest profits. Leylin nodded his head slowly.

" I will buy it " Leylin said while showing a pained expression.

Kroft nodded and gave him the formula, Leylin gave him the Magic Crystals, As leylin was going to give an excuse to extort the Ancient formula from him, Kroft said.

" I still have a few formulas from the Magi of old, and they were obtained when I went exploring several times before, so you can use them and give it a try!" Kroft said slowly.

"Formulas from the Magi of old? " Leylin was surprised that Kroft brought this topic up on his own.

"Indeed! Magi were the most prosperous back in the ancient times. Not only did they construct the Byron empire which spanned over several continents, they had even set their sights on several other distant worlds, conquering different planes one at a time!" Kroft's face was a little flushed. It seemed as though he held the utmost fascination towards the prowess of the ancient Magi.

"It's a pity that the Byron Empire collapsed one night, due to some unknown reason, and the legacies of these ancient Magi were lost. We, as Magi in more recent times, have only risen to power through a few remnants of the research and documents left behind by the ancient Magi…"

Little by little, Kroft spoke of the story behind the scenes. This information was never mentioned in the historical books in the academy.

Leylin put up an bewildered face as Kroft explained. Kroft read his expression and laughed.

"You are thinking why I am telling you this right?" Kroft smiled.

"Although the effects of these formulas are good, many of the ingredients have already ceased to exist. At least, I have never come across them in the 200 years of my life…"

Kroft said unhurriedly, "However, I know about your desire to walk your own path and I want my apprentice to succeed where I failed "

Leylin was elated. With the help of the A.I. Chip, he has collected a lot of samples and have already achieved a lot in his research.

On the surface, he still put on a frowning and worried expression, "So… You want me to find substitute ingredients?"

"Indeed! Potioneering Masters often rely on flashes of inspiration for their successes. Many new types of potions are developed on this basis. If you really want to, you can try your luck! However, the success rate will be extremely low!"

Kroft's face darkened. It seemed as if he was reminded of his past failures.

"Sir! I still want to give it a try. Even if I won't be able to develop a new formula, I can still improve my skills in brewing!"

"I can rest assured if this is your thinking!" Kroft nodded his head. After rummaging through the shelves behind him, he managed to find some dusty scrolls.

"The formulas of the ancient Magi are all here."

Leylin flipped through several other formulas. He noticed that most of them can be brewed by him,l with the help of Substitute herbs, but are only useful for acolytes. He simply acted for some time and picked the one he wanted.

"I'll just take this one the Tears of Mary!"

"Alright! These two potion formulas suit you well!" Kroft nodded his head, "It is 150 Magic Crystals"

Leylin paid him and pocketed the potion. The reason why he didn't buy it before was because he knew it will be of not much help, To successfully brew this potion, one needs Great research in Spirits as well as Official Magus strength.

"How do you plan to overcome this obstacle to becoming an official Magus?" Kroft asked.

"This…" Leylin shook his head, as if in 'embarrassment', revealing an apologetic expression.

"I heard that Professor Dorotte had a piece of remnant information concerning official Magus…"

"Haha…" Kroft laughed, "So this was your plan!"

In the south coast, the information to become an official Magus was often controlled by large guilds, but there was always an exception!

After many discussions, the major Magisteriums in the south coast had all unanimously agreed to restrict the advancement to an official Magus.

Under the purview of the contract, all guilds must abide by it solemnly, to control the acolyte's advancement to an official Magus. Even if it was the academy or family absorbing newcomers, they must swear to a strict secrecy.

There was an exception — information found within historical items and places!

In the expanse of the south coast, there were many traces of the Magi remnants.

All of them were located in extremely perilous locations. Even official Magi had to risk their lives to search for a piece of them.

Moreover, even if they were remnants, one cannot be sure of their contents.

However, once Magi discovered a trace of ancient remnants and obtain their inheritance or other precious resources, it would be the start of another legend!

Although searching for remnants had many unforeseeable dangers, it still drove many Magi to seek them.

The restrictions on the knowledge to advance to an official Magus was signed by all Magisteriums and guilds of the south coast. Hence, any remnants that existed before the agreement were very likely to contain information regarding official Magus advancement!

This was the reason for the birth of a few guildless official Magi!

"Alright then! However, you should know the rarity of information concerning the advancement to an official Magus. What are you planning to exchange for it?"

"Although the information is extremely valuable, this and other single-use records are vastly different. I believe that this will leave Professor Dorotte satisfied!"

Leylin said as he put a hefty bag in Kroft's hands.

"Moreover, after obtaining this piece of information, Professor you can also have a copy of it!"

Towards Leylin's suggestion, Kroft only raised his eyebrows, not saying anything.

But when he opened the bag, he could not help but sigh. "That old bag of bones Dorotte, would most likely not be able to reject you!"

Leylin smiled.

In the bag he handed to Kroft, not only was it filled with a large number of magic crystals and precious ingredients, there was also a Flourishing Flower.

This ingredient was extremely difficult to obtain and had regenerative abilities for magicians with broken limbs.

These ingredients were not common even in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

As for this Flourishing Flower, it was a by-product from the experiment lab.

Currently, Dorotte was looking all over for materials to regenerate Jayden's arm, these materials were an enticement which Dorotte could not refuse!

...

Three days later, within his room.

Leylin's wish had at last been fulfilled and now he held the information in his hands.

"Branded Swordsman?" Leylin Smiled, "I can now finally complete my research on Grand Knight Path?"

"Magi are people who possess mysterious powers! In ancient times, those with great power were often labelled as magicians! As for Branded Swordsman, through the alchemical runes, a magic spell formation would be branded on their body, allowing them to gain power. It is a small division of the ancient Magi!"

"Branded Swordsman emphasize more of physical strength training. Through the regular practice and branding, nature's strength would be stored inside their body. In crucial moments, the energy would erupt explosively…."

"Along the years, Part of the information regarding the inheritance of ancient Branded Swordsman was widely spread. After some modifications, it was suited more towards regular humans. This turned into the creation of Knights and Grand Knights!"

"Which is to say, a Branded Swordsman is an advanced version of a Knight!"

"Even though it has more than 60% of the information is missing. Especially the part about branding and spell formation setting, it is almost all gone. With my research so far on formation from the books in the Inheritance land, It's not a big deal…."

"In ancient times, the combination of Branded Swordsman and Magi were a nightmare to enemies of many other worlds…." Leylin eyes shone with a crazed look.

"A.I.Chip, Copy the contents and start to optimize the advanced form of Grand Knight path, and show me the estimated time "

[Beep! Task Grand Knight technique Upgrade Completion :- 56%! Estimate Time :-13 Days 21 hours!]
