Chapter 324: Meditation Potion 003

“60% off?” Helag was genuinely surprised; the discount exceeded his expectations.

He realized Barren and Vernon were confident in his potion development abilities, prompting their investment.

It made sense; Barren was an experienced second-level potion master, and Vernon was a seasoned potion merchant, both with keen insight.

Their expertise in potion-making far surpassed Helag’s.

Helag’s parchment revealed much to them at a glance.

Realizing this, Helag felt he’d been a bit hasty.

He underestimated the complexity of potion development and overlooked the experience of these two seasoned individuals.

Fortunately, Barren was on his side, and Vernon seemed to have a good relationship with Barren, so there wasn’t much to worry about.

“Mr. Helag, if you have any ideas or develop anything, come to me. I’ll ensure you’re well rewarded,” Vernon addressed him respectfully.

Developing potions required talent and intellect, not just experience.

Vernon, a profit-driven merchant, saw great potential in Helag, justifying his respectful approach.

“Of course, I hope we can collaborate in the future,” Helag replied.

Since Vernon had shown sincerity, Helag reciprocated.

Partnering with a potion merchant like Vernon would be beneficial, making future endeavors easier.

“I can offer these potion ingredients for 240 magic stones. How many do you need?” Vernon asked.

Helag had checked market prices; the ingredients on his parchment were about 420 magic stones.

Vernon’s price of 240 magic stones left little profit, showing great sincerity.

Helag calculated that one potion could be used up to ten times, requiring three potions per month.

He decided, “Twenty portions.”

Helag didn’t buy excessively; twenty potions would last a long time.

Buying more would be unnecessary, as circumstances could change.

Vernon nodded, “No problem. Add me as a contact and send your address. I’ll have them delivered.”

***

After finalizing the deal, the three drank until midnight before heading home.

Vernon’s efficiency was impressive; Helag received the potion ingredients at his doorstep in just three days.

In the Land of Dawn, this was remarkably fast.

Helag’s potion ingredients weren’t from an existing formula, requiring time to source and transport.

Common potion ingredients were pre-packaged for quick delivery.

Helag’s order required the potion store to source and assemble the ingredients before shipping.

Receiving the ingredients so quickly indicated Vernon had acted immediately after their meeting.

Helag had already transferred the magic stones to Vernon.

The ingredients arrived in a spatial ring, given to Helag as a gift.

The ring’s space wasn’t large, about 40-50 square meters.

The ring alone was valuable; Vernon’s deal wasn’t profitable and likely cost him.

Sourcing and delivering the ingredients involved significant labor costs.

However, Vernon wasn’t concerned about short-term losses, focusing on long-term gains.

With the ingredients in hand, Helag began brewing the potion.

Deep Blue’s simulation provided a standard first-level potion, and Helag followed the process step by step.

For him, brewing a basic first-level potion was easy, a matter of practice.

Hours later, in his laboratory, Helag examined a pale yellow liquid—the final product.

He named it Meditation Potion 003, moving away from the Starry Potion name.

The Starry Potion was named for the Starry Meditation method.

Due to the Six Rings Tower’s association, he couldn’t use that name anymore.

Though the name was for personal use, caution was wise.

Meditation Potion 003 resembled orange juice, with a pure, pleasing color.

One potion could be diluted into ten doses, lasting ten days.

After brewing, Helag diluted a dose and drank it, entering a meditative state.

In his mind, only three points remained unlit on the second constellation diagram.

The two diagrams had 22 stars, with the 23rd forming.

At his current pace, completing the star’s meditation would take three months.

After taking Meditation Potion 003, Helag found the meditation speed significantly improved, more so than the Starry Potion and its advanced version.

He estimated that at this rate, the star’s meditation would take only two months.

This speed matched his pre-wizard pace.

For any wizard and meditation method, progress slowed over time, becoming more challenging.

With Meditation Potion 003, Helag could maintain his previous pace, accelerating meditation.

His mind’s liquefied mental energy was still sparse, requiring time to fill his mind.

Eight hours later, Helag ended his meditation, opening his eyes.

The experiment confirmed Meditation Potion 003’s effectiveness, greatly enhancing meditation efficiency.

After verification, Helag brewed two more potions for future use.

The remaining ingredients were stored for later.

With three Meditation Potion 003 doses, he had enough for a month.

Helag planned further experiments, combining Meditation Potion 003 with the wizard tower’s meditation chamber.

Both significantly boosted meditation efficiency; their combination should yield excellent results.
