Inside the mana-gathering array chamber, Liam first started with the two new potion recipes that he had purchased.
Though these were completely new recipes that he had never attempted before, the instructions for creating the potion were rather elaborate, especially when compared to the recipes available inside the tutorial. So he was easily able to make a good batch on the first try itself.
The efficacy of the potion increased with the second batch, and by the time he was done with the third batch, the potion was concocted to perfection.
The first hour quickly passed by as Liam managed to finish about 5 batches of each potion which amounted to a total of 30 sets of each potion.
In all honesty, he expected the fairy to bust open the chamber door right about now, but for some reason, that did not look like it was going to happen.
Liam did not understand why. Perhaps the stone tablet did not consume as much because the herbs were relatively easier to obtain? He shrugged and continued with his task.
Now that he had accumulated a decent number of these A-grade recipes, he moved on to the next potion that he had in his mind, which was none other than the body cleansing potion that he had concocted back inside the tutorial.
"I wonder what rank this potion would be graded on." Liam pensively stared at the cauldron in front of him as he started the long process.
Surprisingly, the whole thing was easier than the last time he had brewed the same potion, and he ended up finishing the first batch in under 5 minutes which was even faster than the A-grade potion.
With no limit on the supply of the herb, Liam continued steadily, and just like that, another hour as well passed. However, since a bigger amount of potion was required for the body cleansing elixir, he was only able to make 6 of those.
On the other hand, there was a high chance that this elixir would be graded at least a little higher than an A because this elixir was one of the top-grade elixirs available in the entire tutorial.
"He is still not coming out?" Liam was utterly baffled. The third hour was going to start. At this point, he was already doubting if the stone tablet was even consuming that much mana in the first place.
He shrugged and kept going.
Liam had started with the potions and elixirs because he was not sure how he would be able to perform now that he was outside the tutorial world.
But the last two hours showed that his current condition was already more than enough to continue brewing these same potions even in the outside world with barely enough mana. He no longer needed to do that here.
Instead, what he needed to do was…
Liam took a deep breath and then started picturing a herb. The next second, a patch of that herb started growing nearby. He did not stop and kept going.
One by one, several patches of herbs started growing here and there. Among these, there were common herbs, rare herbs, and different elemental affinity herbs. Basically, for every single herb that Liam was aware of, he willed for the stone tablet to materialize.
When he first started making the potions, he had already farmed several sets of herbs, particularly the nether herb that had soul-healing properties. However, now he did not pull any stops and started going at full throttle.
In a matter of minutes, the entire space around the stone tablet started looking like the farmland of an extremely wealthy alchemy family. Moreover, every single herb was grown to perfection.
At this time, Liam possessed several overpowered items, but hands down, the stone tablet had to be the most bizarre of all those items. With it, he essentially had an endless supply of herbs required to make even the most valuable elixirs.
However, he had a feeling that he was yet to scratch the true ceiling of the treasure. The profound aura that seeped out of the tablet was anything but ordinary.
Liam sighed as he decided not to think about that right now. There were more pressing issues that he had to cross at his current level.
"I wonder if there is a better herb manual available at the magic shop." He hummed to himself and continued with his task. Just like that, another hour had also passed by.
By now, Liam basically had enough herbs to make an endless supply of health potions and mana potions for the guild, along with multiple elixirs for everyone to improve their constitution.
In fact, with all these herbs, he could create an elite army capable of dealing with any future threat. If the damned ison army decided to invade them again, this time, things would go a lot differently.
Liam continued farming even more herbs. He wasn't sure when exactly he would be kicked out, so he kept going. Another good couple of hours passed by when finally, the mana density in the chamber started to dwindle.
Liam could feel the mana fluctuations even within the stone tablet world, and the last batch of herbs did not mature fully. "It looks like my time is up."
With a big grin, he stood up and placed the stone tablet back into the spatial artifact. Almost immediately, the world around him changed once again, and he was back inside the ornate mana-gathering array chamber.
Very calmly and casually, Liam walked over and opened the door of the chamber to step out. Naturally, he ran into the person he was looking for right then and there.
Liam came face to face with the fairy, who was standing still in the corridor.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Liam raised his hands and clapped for the fairy, who currently looked dull and listless, as if all the life force had been drained out of his body.
"You really got me this time." He grinned devilishly. "I only intended to use an hour inside the chamber, but you masterfully tricked me into using several hours."
"Thanks to you, I am completely bankrupt." Liam did not pull any punches as he laughed loudly right in the face of the lost fairy.
The poor guy was in no state to even respond to Liam's taunts. He simply stood like a statue who had lost everything. contemporary romance
Liam sneered at him. How could he not know the little scheme of the fairy?
When the guy did not come for him after the first hour like Tilia did, he doubted that this was the case, but the greedy guy took it too far and dug a deep hole for himself.
Liam's laughter loudly reverberated in the empty corridor as he got back to the ground floor and walked out of the magic shop without turning back.
