Chapter 1053  I look forward to working together

Liam took a deep breath, centering his focus on the first technique, Phoenix Wings. He visualized the legendary creature with its majestic wings spread wide, soaring through the sky with grace and power.

As he began the practice, Liam followed the instructions from the technique manual, imagining the flow of mana within his body mirroring the pathways of the Phoenix Wings. He felt the warmth of the phoenix's fiery essence, the intense energy pulsating through its veins.

He started by drawing in mana from the surrounding air, feeling it gather and accumulate in his mana core. With each inhalation, he envisioned the mana circulating through his body, guided by the pathways he was creating. The energy surged through him, mimicking the fiery vitality of the phoenix.

Liam focused on the sensation, allowing the mana to flow freely, unrestricted by his previous limitations. He felt the pathways expanding, opening up new channels for the mana to travel through.

The once familiar process took on a new depth and intensity. He practiced diligently, repeating the technique and fine-tuning his understanding of their intricacies. As the hour drew to a close, Liam opened his eyes.

The mana in the room had suddenly dropped, which broke him from his meditation. The hour was already up when it only felt like a second had passed. However, thanks to the abundant mana, he was able to make considerable progress.

The price was steep, but it had definitely been worth it. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to use such an extravagant setup every single time he meditated. "I wonder if I can purchase something like this for the guild?" Liam mused as he stood up and left the chamber.

"On second thought, there are other things I have to purchase."

With a grin, he walked directly to another desk manned by a fairy. With the mana cores in his hand, he might not be able to afford any fancy mana-gathering rooms, at least for the moment, but he could surely buy a few recipes and a list of herbs.

The fairy pulled up the system interface for Liam, and the next second, the recipes he could access popped up, and at the corner of the interface, Liam's current status also blinked.

Grandmaster Alchemist

The fairy immediately gasped and looked at Tilia, who was eyeing Liam from another desk in the shop. Seeing how her underling's eyes went wide, Tilia suspiciously opened the system interface to take a look, wondering what Liam was up to this time.

He seemed to be only browsing through A-grade and B-grade recipes. There was nothing remarkable about it. However, her gaze then fell upon the words at the corner. The next moment, just like the other fairy, she as well gasped loudly.

Who was a Grandmaster?

Someone capable of concocting sought-after and treasured A-grade recipes and even S-grade recipes, a being revered by numerous clans both in the mid realms and in the higher realms and someone who should not exist in this unheard-of lower realm.

However, the human being in front of her was not just a Grandmaster Blacksmith, but he was also a Grandmaster Alchemist? Just what the hell was happening?

Every single time Tilia tried to measure the guy, he seemed to defy her expectations at each attempt. She seemed to be unable to get a grasp of his true strength and capabilities.

How many more secrets were hidden? Just who was this person? Did he truly have no background at all? She had no answers.

But one thing was clear. Liam was no ordinary customer, and his potential value to both the magic shop and her became even more apparent.

At this moment, Tilia couldn't help but feel a bit relieved. They might have started on the wrong foot, but at least now they were on better terms. Luckily she had corrected her mistake before things had gone too far.

Suppressing her astonishment, Tilia approached Liam with a composed demeanor, concealing her inner thoughts.

"I see you're looking at some recipes, Mr. Liam. As the store manager, I can assist you in choosing the best ones according to your needs. Is there something specific you're looking for?"

Liam glanced at the fairy and replied in a calm and collected tone, "I'm interested in acquiring some A-grade and B-grade recipes related to strengthening and cleansing my body and maybe my mana core?"

"I see." Tilia nodded. She already knew the three purchases he had made beforehand, so she now had a whole picture of what he was attempting to do.

"In that case, might I suggest these recipes?" She pulled up a much shorter list. "However, I must inform you that at your current level, these recipes probably would not be that helpful."

"I know." Liam smiled. "I am not personally planning to use these."

Tilia immediately understood what he meant. "I would be more than happy to purchase your products, Mr. Liam." She offered.

Liam smiled in response. He had already expected this. Even the scoundrel from the other shop had offered to buy his golems. However, he couldn't sell the golems because the raw material needed for creating the golems, orichalcum, was limited.

But the same was not true for these alchemy potions. If everything went well in the stone tablet department, he could potentially concoct as many potions as he needed. Even so, Liam still hesitated.

This was because the fairies were extremely stingy. He would have to perhaps sell five or ten potions for the price of one. "How much would you be willing to pay?" Liam asked gingerly, not having much hope.

"Oh?" Tilia paused for a moment. She then smiled, understanding what Liam was getting at. "Mr. Liam, I am sure you will be more than happy with the compensation. I am willing to offer half of the selling price for each product."

"Half?" Liam was surprised. Of course, half might not seem like much, but when compared to how much the sell-back price was for other items, this was indeed very generous. Why was she being so generous?

Liam couldn't help but remember the words of the draconian princess. Were they really true?

He then shook his head. What the hell was he thinking?

The woman in front of him was a shrewd merchant. If she was being generous, it could only mean that she was eying even more profits down the line. In any case, he did not mind an alliance like this. So he happily accepted the terms.

"I look forward to working together."

Liam then purchased a couple of recipes before he left the magic shop. The main work, after all, needed to be done in the next location.
