Aur, after breaking through and using the Metal Escape spell to drain his mana quickly, began to draw the blue mana into his mental space.
The process was slightly slow and inefficient.
He opened his crimson eyes to see the half-cracked stone in front of him, which made him sigh.
This high-grade mana crystal has accompanied him ever since he had broken through to the tier one wizard, and now, finally, it has lost most of its mana.
Very little of it was left, barely even comparable to the middle-grade mana crystal. With the number of cracks on it, you could tell at a glance the remaining mana.
Aur skillfully took out a mana gathering potion that he himself had refined, compared to the first one he has shown to Noah.
This was the best potion he could create right now, with almost double the spirituality.
While removing the cork of the vial, Aur drank the green liquid in one go. The moment it entered his stomach, it was instantly digested in less than a breath's time.
Immediately, mana started to pour into his mental space, which Aur started to refine with the help of his vital spell.
Soon, blue mana started to appear in his mental space.
"Alright, these should be enough," Aur nodded his head, dusting off the dust from his clothes.
For now, he wore a simple martial black sleeveless clothes.
His wizard robes were already shredded to bits, and the defense that the tier one wizard robe could give was very minimal already.
His body was the greatest defense for him, with his strong muscles.
"Muscle System."

"Let's complete today's daily quest before going back to the village."
With that said, he undressed himself and started to work out in the dark cave where the sunlight couldn't reach.
In just about an hour or more, the daily quest was finished.
After bathing himself with water using the five elemental magic, Aur wore back his clothes again, feeling refreshed.
Unlike previously, his blood and Qi wouldn't leak out as it was self-contained in his body, making him have almost perfect control over it ever since he has reached the tier two.
However, Aur faced a dilemma now. He could either allocate his attribute points into the Muscle Mass or the Life Level.
Even though he has been continuously putting all his stat points into the Life Level, the progress was 0, with no hope of moving forward.
"Yes, it is true."
"What did they do to survive such a calamity?"
"The information is currently unknown, Tenth Master, but from the claim of the village, it was a trump card they used, which almost destroyed half the beast."
"Was this North village capable?"
"I don't know, Master."
"What about the Second Master, then? Did he say any of his thoughts?" the Tenth Master said with narrowed eyes.
"He hasn't said anything," the strong man bowed.
"Useless, get lost!"
"Yes, Tenth Master."
After he was left alone with two beauties sitting in his laps, the Tenth Master went into deep thought.
"Damn it, that bastard, my father, is really planning to not give a single inheritance to me. The Second Brother is already a tier three wizard, and the First Brother is not far behind. I am the only one left behind. For me to prove myself, I need to increase my business..." his teeth grinded against each other.
"What's wrong, Master?" a lilith voice sounded in his ears, making him wake up.
"Nothing, let's just enjoy our night," the Tenth Master said with a smirk on his face, taking the two beauties.
The caravan finally reached the village, and Noah, the village leader, came out of the place with a smile on his face, greeting them welcome.
The Tenth Master was also among the people who were there, looking at these people with a frown on his face.
"Set up the camp," he instructed and went away, touring the place with the strong guard by his side.
At this time, he saw a figure slowly appear from the wild, wearing a black cloak and a panda's mask that covered his face.
Feeling the ominous presence, the Tenth Master was pensive. "Who are you?"
The eerie, burly figure turned his head towards the Tenth Master and released his presence. The coercion of a tier two wizard immediately spread out in the surrounding.
"Master," the strong man hurriedly shielded the Tenth Master and looked at him with a serious expression.
"What do you want? A tier two wizard cannot threaten me," the Tenth Master shouted with some disdain.
"I want to trade mana crystals," Aur spoke in an extremely hoarse voice.
"Mana crystals?" the Tenth Master exclaimed, a little surprised.
"Yes."
"Hahaha, then follow me to the tent," with an amicable smile on his face, the Tenth Master led the way for Aur.
Aur nodded his head and quietly followed the man without making much noise.
"So, how much do you want to trade mana crystals?" the Tenth Master spoke while sitting on a chair, his smile growing larger.
"I want to trade high-grade mana crystals for middle-grade mana crystals."
"Respected guest, then you have come to the right place. I guarantee you will get ten percent the market price for the exchange rate. How many high-grade mana crystals do you want to trade?" the Tenth Master asked.
Aur raised his four fingers.
"Only four?" The Tenth Master was a little disappointed, however, it was still a considerable profit.
But at this time, Aur shook his head.
"I need to exchange forty high-grade mana crystals."
The Tenth Master was stunned for a moment, as if his brain was still processing what Aur had said.
