Chapter 36 - Intensif Training

The rest of the day passed very quickly, Anaya learned to use the dagger that Celia had found and Liam gave her another lesson on the use of the chakra, as for Celia she began to study magic herbs and as soon as Liam and Anaya were busy fighting she took out a green paper from her magic bag.

Celia put her right hand on it and began to introduce her spiritual energy inside, she continued until she felt she had completely drained her spiritual energy reserve then withdrew her hand.

On the green paper appeared a symbol in black ink, thanks to her tattoo of the universal language, she knew that it meant "energy reserve".

She thought : If It's written energy reserve, does that mean that Anaya could use it ? She will need to ask Liam about it.

She was happy though, she had succeeded on her first try in creating a spell, she was eager to test it but she would wait for the right moment for it, she put back the green paper in her magic bag and continued study the magic herbs.

When it was five o'clock, Liam decided to take a break for everyone, it was time to go shopping. They first went to get the level two magic herbs for Celia. There were also two sets for the basic magic pills, two sets for the intermediate magic pills, and two sets for the high level magic pills.

They cost twenty, thirty and forty gold coins respectively. Celia earned seven thousand two hundred gold coins from her level one magic pills and spent nine thousand gold coins to purchase the three hundred sets to make the level two magic pills.

Then they went to buy as planned the hermetic bottles for Celia, and the various jade discs needed.

Liam decided on the quantities, he directly ordered one thousand hermetic bottles for one hundred gold coins, ten red jade discs for five hundred gold coins and six white jade discs for three thousand gold coins.

Behind the counter on a shelf he saw some golden discs, he asked the manager what it was because he had never seen one like that.

The manager replied that they were golden sealed disc, it could only contain short information and only those who looked inside could know this information, it could not be copied or disclosed.

Celia after this explanation couldn't contain her excitement, she exclaimed : "Liam this is exactly what we need, it will be ideal if we want to put more of you know what on sale."

Celia turned to the manager and said : "Sir, we take them all and could you get us some more in the next four days ?"

The manager couldn't believe it, this girl hadn't even asked for the price of these discs and she took them all ... he politely replied : "Miss, I only have five, a golden sealed disc cost one thousand gold coins, so I don't have a lot of buyers for this kind of product and I'm sorry, but I won't be able to get any more in four days."

Celia was a little disappointed : "It's okay I understand, i will take them all and i still need small bottles of water, after that it will be all, thank you sir for your time."

The manager had never seen anyone spend so much money at once, he had just exploded his sales for the week, and probably for the month too thanks to them, so he kindly offered them the pack of small bottles of water. They had just spent eight thousand and six hundred gold coins, the manager was in heaven.

Back in the dimension, Celia left to make her level two magic pills, Liam had already given her a summary of the six kinds, the basic level two magic pills were the fasting pill and the external healing pill, the same as for level one but with more powerful magic herbs therefore the effects for the fasting pill which lasted longer, and for the external healing magic pill, it could heal more wounds and deeper ones.

The intermediate magic pills were the internal healing magic pill and the energy magic pill.

The high level magic pills were the chakra reserve magic pill and the spiritual energy reserve magic pill.

The first was to increase the chakra reserve for the fighters. However, no matter how many chakra reserve magic pills you may eat, you will not be able to increase your energy reserve by more than twenty percent. For the spiritual energy reserve magic pill, it was the same thing but for the mages.

Liam had asked Celia to put six magic fasting pills aside for them, two energy magic pills one for her and one for Anaya, and two chakra reserve magic pills for Anaya and two spiritual energy reserve magic pills for her. The rest would be put up for sale.

Liam had ordered the same quantity for the next day and every day thereafter until the day of the auction.

He had asked the manager of the magic herbs shop to deliver his entire supply of level two and three magic herbs to him for after the auction.

The manager had a lot of connections and he had promised to collect at least a thousand sets of each kind to make level three magic pills for that date. And, seeing how fast Celia was progressing, he had said that he would put four hundred sets of each kind for the level two magic pills, he said that should be enough for her to level up.

The manager had even arranged a meeting with the CEO of the group for which he worked, the latter will come to attend the auction, so he took the opportunity to organize a meeting.

Liam wasn't against it, he had heard about this CEO and he was an honest man. He didn't know his level but he knew he was a very famous fighter. If he could ally himself with him, not only would they no longer have to look for where to sell Celia's magic pills, this man might be able to help them find the magic herbs that Celia was missing.

It took a total of sixteen hours for Celia to get through the three hundred magic pills, she had kept pace with doing four at a time, but it took longer to remove the impurities from the level two magic herbs and it was also necessary to condense the spiritual energy longer to form the magic pills.

She had also created twenty energy reserve spells, after all she had to have over two hundred green papers, it was better if she had a perfect mastery of creating spells as it would be easier with training to introduce energy with the natural elements inside.

During those sixteen hours, Anaya had come to pick her up three times for  lessons.

These courses, for the moment were mainly used by Anaya. Celia was trying to explain to her how she was controlling her spiritual energy, so that it might help her to have a better control over her chakra.

What Celia didn't know was that Liam was still trying to strengthen their bond, so that later they could fight side by side. He wanted them to know themselves by heart, enough to guess what the other would do before she even did.

There was still eight hours before to go to get the magic herbs for Celia, Liam told them to go and rest, they could take books with them to study if they wanted.

Anaya had also made a lot of progress in a very short period of time, tomorrow he would move up to level four gravity in the combat ring, level three no longer had an effect on her.

The handling of the dagger still lacked fluidity, but it was already good.

Once in the suite before releasing them Liam told them : "Keep it up girls, I'm very proud of you."

And for the first time he hugged them, he had never had a family and never wanted one. But oddly enough, he felt ready to give a place for them in his heart.

The days went by at breakneck speed, and the auction was scheduled for tomorrow. Celia only needed ten hours to make her three hundred level two magic pills daily, and it was making them a ton of money. The magic herbs cost nine thousand gold for the three hundred magic pills, and the manager bought back the basic magic pills at one hundred and fifty gold coins, the intermediate magic pills at two hundred and fifty gold coins, and the high magic pills three hundred and fifty gold coins, which made them a total of seventy-five thousand gold.

Celia had also made the list of magic herbs she was missing. Liam had asked her to make a list only for magic herbs from level four to ten at the moment.

She had made the list in a green jade disc, Liam had told her he was planning to partner with the CEO of the group of the magic herbs shop.

She had also learned to recognize magic herbs of level four and five, and eventually she had created a total of fifty energy reserve spells.

Anaya on the other hand was about to level up to level three, her color had already started to mix and the yellow color was more and more visible.

She now mastered the handling of the dagger, and was just starting to be able to walk on the lake water thanks to her chakra, which made Celia laugh a lot.

She felt like she was seeing the first steps of her children, Gabin and Basile again.
