Chapter 1219 Shops

Emery tried to analyze and assess the situation he was currently in, hoping to make the most of his apothecary skill and make some more spirit stones out of it.

From what he saw and inferred, both [Spirit Pool Potion] and [Health Regeneration Pill] were quite a popular item. Although there were tons of similar products to compete with, they were in high demand in the market and hence made them a great product to sell.

This should be true as of the war that has been escalating, magus and saint alike would be using such products on a daily basis.

The [Reviving Pill], on the other hand, could be considered as a unique and niche item. In fact, it was quite fortunate for Emery to be able to sell all 100 pills he put on display in spite of his obscure shop and non-existent reputation.

But then, as he pondered whether he should make more Reviving Pill to sell, he realized that there was a message regarding the item in his shop. He checked what it was and surprised with a hint of disbelief

[Request order 100 Reviving Pill - 130,000 spirit stones]

There was actually another order for his Reviving Pill. Not only that, the other party was also willing to pay much more than before, 1,300 spirit stones each!

That was probably a new highest record price for a tier 1 product.

With Cedric's help, Emery learned that the order came six weeks ago. But the fact that it hadn't been canceled meant that the person was still expecting the order to be completed.

Sure, he could certainly use the spirit stones. However, despite the fact that the ingredients needed were cheap, Reviving Pill was actually one of the hardest pills to make in Emery's repertoire.

He feared that this matter could potentially take up too much of his time, which would then delay his training for the upcoming tournament. Hence the reason for his hesitation.

Emery mulled over his decision for a while before finally making up his mind.

Recalling how effective the pill was when used during the Nexus mission, and the fact he could certainly make some of them to bring home, Emery decided that he might as well fulfill the order and make an excess for his own suppliess.

Now that he had made up his mind, he quickly acted so as not to waste time.

"Alright! Let's do this!"

Although the manufacturing process was a bit tedious and complicated, Emery was glad the pill only required low-grade ingredients that were easy to obtain. Some even he could obtain for free from the warehouse in Master Grom's lab.

It certainly saved him from the hassle of sourcing and waiting for the ingredients to arrive.

He purchased enough ingredients for making 150 pills and swiftly began the concoction process immediately.

Casting the [Metamorphosis] spell, in tandem with the [Dao Divine Technique], Emery grabbed dozens of sets of ingredients and processed them in a huge batch. Time seemed to pass in an instant as he was engrossed in the potion.

It took all of his focus and energy to concoot one batch and he had to repeat 5 times to finally finish all 150 pills.

24 hours of hard work followed with him handing the pills to the institute staff. Moments after, a confirmation came from the other party.

[Order confirmed]

As soon as he saw the order on his shop was deemed completed, Emery immediately accessed his shop and notifications began to arrive.

[Spirit stones received 130,000]

[Withdraw Spirit stones - 130,000]

[Institutes Tax - 30%]

[91,000 spirit stones received]

It was quite a task that gave him extreme fatigue, however seeing his pockets no longer empty, he could smile once again.

At the same time, the identification of the 300 assortments of pills and potions as well as the 200 herbs were completed..

After thanking Cedric and Karin for their tremendous help, Emery proceeded to check the identification results. Other than the usual health, mana, and poison, he actually saw several interesting potions and pills.

[Dragon Flame Bomb]

[Tier 5]

[Explosive potion with power comparable to tier 6 spell]

[Space Walking Potion]

[Tier 5]

[Give body 30 minutes resistance against pressurized space upon consumption]

[Spirit Restraining Pill]

[Tier 5]

[Block all used of spirit energy, time varies on cultivation stage, 6 hours for crescent magus stage]

[Mental Block Pill]

[Tier 5]

[Bestowed resistance against spirit attack upon consumption, the degree varies on cultivation stage]

There were actually a dozen of them of each type, which was similar to the number of elven magus. It was as if they were all given one each before their mission, as a standard package for battle of some sort.

Emery took a few minutes to go through the list, making sure he didn't miss anything good.

What he thought he and his friends didn't need, he immediately sold it to the Apothecary Institute and earned him a sizable amount of spirit stones; the money would go to his friends however.

[525,000 spirit stones received]

As for the Tier 5 potions and pills, Although each could be sold from 5000 to 9000 spirit stones, Emery decided to keep them for now, thinking there might be situations in the future where they could be of use. In the meantime, these Tier 5 consumables could be part of his research.

With that, his needs in the Apothecary Institute were finished. However, as he was about to leave, Emery stopped as he received another notification.

He didn't think much of it, hence he was once again surprised to have received another order in his shop.

[Request order 500 Reviving Pill - 750,000 spirit stones]

His two eyes bulged when he saw the other party wanting to buy more Reviving Pills.

For a moment, Emery was tempted since it was a lot of spirit stones. But it took him only seconds to decide that he couldn't accept it as he might need ten days to finish the order.

He did not have nor plan to spend that much time concocting pills.

It was also unfortunate that the Reviving Pill was something that only he could make, therefore even if he wanted to, Emery simply couldn't delegate the task to anyone else.

[Order rejected]

Thanking his two friends once again, Emery said goodbye and headed for the Terra Palace.

A day had been spent by him concocting pills, so he needed to start on his training right away.

Before long, both he and Magus Shena arrived at Terra Palace. When he entered the hall, Emery could see that everyone was inside, He wondered what prompted them to gather here.

Walking closer, he finally realized that everyone was watching the Eastern Sage. The latter seemed to be creating some kind of a formation on the floor while concentrating on a particular tube where a bright orb could be seen inside.

"Emery, you came just in time!" Klea said excitedly, ushering him to come closer.

From her, Emery learned that apparently the Sage offered a solution to deal with the storage ring of the female elf magus and was currently doing it. Unexpectedly, the method the Sage used would not break the seal nor destroy the spirit soul; instead, he created a formation seal that would allow the soul to communicate.

"Communicate? With the soul?"

Seeing the dumbfounded look on Emery's face, Klea nodded vigorously. "That's right. We are planning to negotiate with the magus!"

,m At that moment, the formation on the floor began to emit a bright light. A second later, the bright orb within the cube shone even brighter and a shadow figure began to form above, speaking at the group in an echoing voice.

"Human.. How dare you!! release me!"
