YM778.TV Chapter 95 Potion And Contract
Vincent had mixed feelings about this Tier 4 Skill Book.
He has a few options on how it could benefit him, he could either sell it for a high price or perhaps wait for the time until he reached such a level.
After all, he can\'t just copy the book to learn the skill and then sell it after.
He has to keep the book with him since the book itself contains insights into the person who wrote this. Each stroke of the letters was filled with insights to allow the reader to fall into a state of enlightenment and learn the method of the skill hidden in these blocks of texts.
This way, only those who were capable can truly learn the skill.
\'Will I ever reach that level?\' Vincent helplessly smiled after recalling his terrible talent.
Of course, no matter what, he wouldn\'t give up his path as a Mana Practitioner since he\'s still young and he might discover opportunities that might change his fate in the future.
\'But… This book was also bounded by a human skin similar to that of Mana Drain… Does it mean that they came from the same cult many years ago?\' Vincent mused.
The Mana Drain is the Tier 1 skill that he learned after obtaining the new feature of his awakening system.
However, because it was only at a beginner stage and only a Tier 1 Skill, he barely had the chance to use it since it\'s only effective against someone weaker than him.
Obviously, if they are weaker than him, he wouldn\'t be bothered to use this Mana Art and he\'ll just smash his cane on their heads. It was a lot easier.
As for using it against someone stronger like this old man, it would be useless since a bit of his Mana will already disperse the skill. He can probably use it when he was sleeping but he obviously can\'t while he\'s alert and surrounded by mana.
In short, Mana Drain is quite useless during combat. At most, he can use it after putting people unconscious.
He then wrapped the book with a piece of cloth before he placed it inside his robe.
Then, under the two Celestials\' watchful eyes, he appraised the bottle containing a murky red liquid.
[ A Bottle of Mana Upheaval Potion ]
[ Grade: High
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Mana Increase: 100 units
Description: A magical liquid made from the Essence of Blue Starfruit, Black Snail\'s mucus, and Fire Monkey bone marrow. It is capable of providing an increase in mana capacity. This potion was made using replacement ingredients and not the original ingredients.
Remarks: Every enhancement will improve the mana units. Consuming this potion may be very dangerous if preparation is insufficient. ]
"What?!"
Vincent\'s hand trembled after realizing what the potion was.
"Isn\'t this too precious?! Why did he not consume this potion yet?" Vincent asked cautiously as he looked at Rem.
This is too good to be true.
His current mana capacity has been limited to 500 for some reason. He could no longer advance. The most that he could do by practicing his mana was to increase his mana recovery rate.
However, the capacity still remained the same and had no signs of changing even after becoming a 3-Star Aura Knight.
"You probably realized what that potion was. Sir Pero didn\'t want to consume this because of the hidden danger. He was told the potion was made using ingredients similar to the original ones since they are difficult to find. Although it was still successfully concocted, it was said that if it was consumed without ample preparations, you might suffer a setback instead."
Rem explained after seeing Vincent\'s confused face.
"What kind of hidden danger are we talking about?" Vincent asked.
Rem hesitated for a moment before she decided to answer.
"Because of the sudden increase in mana, it will slightly affect your physique, especially for males… You will experience the fire monkey\'s incredible desire to mate… If you didn\'t fulfill this desire, your mana will run amock and you\'ll suffer internal injuries. Sir Pero just recently acquired this potion so he was planning to---"
Rem paused as she looked at Tara.
Vincent nodded as he understood what she was trying to say. He finally calmed down after realizing this hidden danger.
\'Ugh… Too bad… Should I just sell it then?\' Vincent mused. He\'s about to go to a city anyway. He can certainly sell this high-grade potion there.
However, he suddenly had an idea.
\'Perhaps enhancing it or even ascending it will remove the hidden danger?\'
Vincent thought for a moment as he decided to enhance this potion as well.
The three of them then decided to leave the forest. In the first, Vincent and Tara only went here to bait the ones who are stalking them.
Now that it\'s settled, he has no reason to stay here.
On the next day, Vincent managed to create a couple of +9 potions. He had stayed up all night to complete this. His productivity is certainly terrible but he was still happy about this.
After all, the success rate of enhancing potions is higher than enhancing weapons. This result is still a lot better.
"This looks like a high-grade Mana Recovery Potion… You\'re telling me that it can recover Celestial Powers as well?" Rem commented. She\'s still doubtful at this since Mana Recovery Potion is known to be ineffective for Celestial Beings like them.
They will just suffer from the terrible taste of this potion.
Nevertheless, after seeing Vincent\'s confident smile and Tara\'s nod, she can only try to consume the potion. Anyway, the truth will be revealed sooner.
Gulp!
Rem made sure to consume all the liquid from the potion… Tara did the same.
After a few seconds, Vincent saw Rem\'s surprised reaction. She was obviously elated by the sudden increase of her Celestial Power. Although it was little, it definitely helped her!
This method is also safer than consuming the blood essence that could have impurities depending on the person providing them.
"Let\'s do a contract!" Rem immediately suggested.
"Alright…"
The two then made a contract which wasn\'t signing some kind of paper contract like what Vincent originally thought. This contract was bounded by their words alone using her Celestial Power and his Mana.
It was quite peculiar.
They promised that they will not betray each other and become faithful to their transaction. The price for not adhering to the contract would be the dissonance of Rem\'s Celestial Power or Vincent\'s Mana within his body.
As for Tara, Vincent didn\'t think of binding a contract with her if she didn\'t ask for it. At the moment, she\'s treating Tara as his friend after all.
However, it seems that Tara has something else in her mind.
"I will give you this Celestial Weapon after I removed the connecting fate to the other Celestial."
Tara suddenly said to Vincent as they were about to arrive at Canthus City.
