That night, Abel set up the barrier circle and protection circle in his mansion’s training room once again and entered the Dark World.
He spent some time making lite healing potions. The Wizard Union’s demand was a little much, so he needed to dedicate some time to it.
However, as he stepped into the Dark World, he realized the crystal angel statue between his eyes was filled with gold energy once again.
He began examining the crystal angel statue when he arrived at the Rogue Encampment. It was fully golden, and he calculated for a moment. It had almost been a month since he used up and replenished its gold energy last time.
This time was about the same, which meant he could make a powerful preach in the Dark World again.
However, he didn’t do so. After all, he didn’t like wasting energy, so he ignited his world stone and carefully took a strand of energy from the statue.
Under his precise calculations, he had taken out 1/30 of the golden energy, which was around 10 days of energy in the dark world.
This way, the crystal angel statue could remain full to deal with unexpected events at all times.
Those energies were useful in regards to learning basic barbarian skills.
He could not practice Barbarian skills anywhere else. Only in the Rogue Encampment could he use his god-like ability to imitate the vibration required for the Barbarian energy.
As the energy increased, he was another step closer to becoming a Barbarian. It seems like it wouldn’t take long until he could do his first Barbarian spell.
After spending some time practicing, he realized what’s unique about Barbarians. This vibration was very damaging to the body, which stopped other races from becoming practicing Barbarian skills.
Suppose Abel didn’t have the full recovery potion. Generating special energy through vibration would take a toll on the body even with 100 points of life.
Under his speculation, the Barbarians must have a special ability to recover for this clearly self-destructive training to be so popular and became a full-fledged occupation,
Actually, not all Barbarians could go through this basic training. Only the ones with a special fighting talent would be able to. This ancient examination method had filtered out all the unfit Barbarians.
This filter destroyed all the Barbarians who could not recover from the damage caused by the vibration. Therefore, the ones who went through basic Barbarian training could peacefully progress.
Days passed, and it has been another month. Abel could finally do his first Barbarian spell, and he picked ‘battle cry.
He picked this spell because the energy within him could only sustain the ‘repulse’ spell from the battle branch and the 6 weapons support from the strategist branch.
His physical attacks were not strong enough to fight off his current enemies, whether in the Dark World or the Central Continent, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to pick a spell related to physical attacks.
He needed an ability-increasing spell, and the battle cry was perfect. Although in its current form, it could only scare off the enemies approaching him, and it wouldn’t do much to enemies of similar rank, Abel was very interested in what the spell could grow into.
The ‘battle cry was unleashed through the Barbarian energy to generate a shock wave. This shock wave would be able to increase his teammates’ defense.
Of course, since he had just grasped the Barbarian energy, he still needed some time to learn it.
After trying to do the battlecry, Abel realized the energy he lost no longer needed to be recovered through vibration. Instead, it recovered by itself.
He was very surprised. Even though he got a Barbarian spell guide, there was still a lot of spoken knowledge that was not documented.
But it made sense. If a Barbarian needed to recover through vibration each time they use a spell, it wouldn’t sustain their thirst for battle.
Early next morning, Abel came to the potion maker union on his flying carriage. It has been a month, and his status in the union only kept rising.
He also realized why the Union only gave out 3 master potion formulas for druids with the word ‘natural’ in the title. It was because master potion makers would not stress about anything other than a master-grade potion.
His success in making a blue spirit guardian potion for Wizard Hume spread among the wizard union’s elite, which pushed his name even further.
Soon, more and more law-defying wizards began to show up and ask Abel to make a potion for them. They were all willing to pay a lot, but most importantly, Abel just wanted to form a good relationship with them.
Through the process, Abel obtained many potion formulas exclusive to the Central Continent and many potions better than the one he gave those wizards.
Take Wizard Hume’s spirit guardian potion, for example. Wizard Hume was already very happy with a blue spirit guardian potion, but he didn’t know what Abel made 4 golden spirit guardian potions from the 4 leftover portions.
1
It had the ability to increase one’s level up success rate by 15% and make sure the body remained unaffected even if the level up failed.
During this time, Abel came across all kinds of master potions and rare elite potions, which made him understand the uniqueness of the Central Continent’s potion.
However, since Abel had stopped his listing of lite healing potion from the wizard union listing system, many Wizards in the central continent began to get stressed.
Especially the ones who witnessed the power of the potion.
However, Wizard Hume kept his promise. Soon, the lite healing potion reappeared in the Wizard Union Exchange system. The only thing different was that it now cost 1000 credit points instead of an intermediate light gem.
This immediately pushed the potion into the pinnacle of luxury, and most wizards could not afford it.
Although Abel’s original listing of 1 intermediate light gem might seem very expensive, an elite wizard who fought against Holy Knights would more or less have a light gem. Even if they didn’t individually, their team would have it.
However, 1000 credit points took time through missions.
Finally, the wizards understood. The wizard union had brought up the Lite healing potion.
“Master Bennett, I have something to ask you. Druid Poly looked into Abel’s eyes with embarrassment.
“Poly, what happened?” Abel smiled.
Druid Poly always stayed by his side during these 2 months and resolved many hassles for him. At least, she was the reason why no normal druids dared to ask Abel for a potion.
Abel was known for making a blue potion in every attempt, which made all the elves wanted to give their ingredients to Abel.
Abel didn’t want to waste his time making simple potions. He couldn’t care less about how much they pay, so he told Druid Poly to reject all requests.
“Master Bennett, two friends of mine, begged me to exchange 2 lite healing potions for them!” Druid Poly’s face grew red.
She didn’t want to, but this time was different. The people requested were her past adventure teammates. They had risked their lives and gone through hell together.
She couldn’t reject them, so she hesitated for a few days. Finally, she decided to ask Abel.
“Poly, I’m so inconsiderate!” Abel padded his head and said.
He just remembered his followers had friends as well. Especially druid Poly. She had joined many risky missions from the wizard union in the past.
“Poly, I will give you and Gunter 20 bottles of lite healing potion each month. You guys can help me exchange them!” Abel smiled and said.
“Thank you, master Bennett!” From Abel’s worlds, Druid Poly could tell that Abel was setting her up for a good opportunity to interact with the outer world.
“Master Bennett, thank you so much!” Druid Gunter also said in extreme excitement. 20 bottles of light healing potion a month could shoot up his statues in the elves dramatically.
“Master Bennett, your price of 1 intermediate light gem for a lite healing potion is too cheap now. Do you want to increase it?” Druid Gunter suddenly remembered something and asked.
“I only want 1 intermediate light gem for each potion. If you can sell for more, you can keep the profit!” Abel continued to smile.
The light gems he had were still piling up despite him using it every day for training. He wouldn’t need any extra soon.
It was basically the pinnacle of luxury training. No one in the Central could even come close. There were not many light gems in the Central Continent since each of them was the life of a top-level holy knight.
Abel knew how hard it was to kill a top-level knight, and he would not be able to get so many intermediate light gems if he couldn’t combine them with his Horadric Cube.
As Abel was about to enter his potion area, a door knock emerged from outside.
Druid Poly opened the door, and he saw Master Nolan standing there with the other 2 masters behind her.
“Master Nolan, Master Balfour, Master Muir, what brings you here today!” Abel stepped out and bowed with a smile.
“Master Bennett, there is something big I want to invite you!” Master Nolan said seriously.
“Master Nolan, what is t?”
“Druids, please let me and Master Bennett want to talk about something in private!” Master Nolan did not explain immediately. Instead, he turned to Druid Poly and Druid Gunter.
“Master Bennett, we will wait outside!” Druid poly bowed at Abel and the 3 masters before stepping out.
Druid Gunter also did the same and followed, leaving the 4 masters in private.
“Master Bennett, do you know why the elves built the new kingdom in this area?” Master Nolan asked.
“Because of Ervo forest?” Abel knew the forest was like a natural shield, so he replied.
“Not at all. Actually, it is not much of a secret. Many people in the Central Continent knew that we had built our kingdom here. It was because of a tree, the great tree of life!” Master Nolan said with her eyes sparkling.
“The tree of life?” Abel remembered the name. It was where the water of life came from.
“Yes, the great tree of life is the core of us elves. We live under its nourishment. We would be nothing without it!” Master spoke again with great passion. She seemed almost like a preacher.
“Master, is there something happening to the tree of life?” Abel caught Master Nolan’s intentions through her words.
“The tree of life is growing weaker recently, and the big druids don’t know why. They ask us to take a look, and we want to invite you to come with us!” Master Nolan nodded and lowered her voice.
Normally, she would definitely not invite a new master potion maker to an event like this, but what Abel had managed to achieve was too eye-catching. His potion-making skill was clearly far greater than the other masters, so she had to invite him.
