Chapter 54 - 54. The Fountain Of Youth

"The Fountain of Youth is a spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters." that's what I got from Wiki. Heh... It is as if as though the Fountain Of Youth truly exists here. "Whatever lah... As long as I got a drop of water for the Ruler of Aermagh, and a bottle full of it for myself, it is just a matter of truce though."

I went forward and walked like an hour through the winding passageway and I suddenly saw a bright light coming from the end of it. "Eh...? I've already reached the end or what? Where's that so-called Fountain Of Youth... Don't tell me it's after that exit?" I thought once more as I walked and had to cover my eyes to avoid the glare of the sun and my nose could smell the scent of water and also the splashing sound that came from none other than a decorative fountain...!!!

It was a statue of a naked lady in the centre if a stone fountain and she was holding on to a jug which had a steady stream of water spouting from it and it cascades to a group of 7 little angles statues that seems to be frolicking at her feet.

*Ding* Congratulations on Discovering Fountain Of Youth that was fabled for thousands of years. A single drop could bring an old man back to his early twenties. For more information, please do not hesitate to read the plague near the site.

"Eh...this announcement is able to start yapping when it find such treasure. Well, it says there's a plague somewhere... Oh, here it is. Hmm... Very interesting. It shows when it was built and even the date it's being inaugurated. Heh... Fountain Of Youth... Well, I'm here to take a drop for the Ruler of Aermagh and a bottle for myself." I said aloud as if I'm talking to the statue of the lady that was endlessly pouting water from her jug into the fountain.

I opened up the vial and saw the top had consisted of a glass eyedropper. I suction the water from the fountain using the eyedropper and a single of the liquid was dropped inside it. I squirt the balance from the eyedropper and closed the vial.

Next, I unscrewed the top off my porcelain bottle, and dipped the whole bottle inside the pond and when it was filled to the brim, I closed the stopper and placed both of the items into my storage. The water from the Fountain of Youth could last me for at least a few months.

"Hah Hah Hah... Another new product would be on its way soon. I can't help to think of its main ingredients such as cucumber, avocado, lemon, mandarin orange, oatmeal, apricot, green tea, coconut oil, hibiscus, chamomile, watermelon, green apple, strawberry and ginger and coffee. 15 new ingredients for a brand new product. Yes...!!! And I start to hump my groin three times once more."

I looked at my Map for an update and it did show 2 more new location. One is the Troll Cave while the other is the Fountain Of Youth. I clicked NoOne's camp and I was instantly warped to the desired location, just some 50 meters away from my favourite merchant.

I exchanged the 20,000 Amulet Of Strength and got a price of 5 credits each, earning me a total of 100,000 with a grand total of 239650 credits. "Well, if you want BIG then you have to save a HUGE amount of credits and my intention is to 'hack' for a week to get as much as 1 million credits since I have another future plan ahead.

I walked on ahead and rested a short distance away. I intend to enter my Realm of Mind and started another batch of 20,000 duplications of the amulets and so I chose a nice place to sit and meditate. After settling the duplication process on the two machines, I logged off and went to the real world. I picked myself up and heads into the Northern Gate.

The guards were used to seeing me with my black shiny Studded Leather vest and ushered me in when they saw me walking from the distance. I walked passed Pointus' but the store had been closed and only opens during certain hours of the day.

I reached Beauty World and when the children saw me enters, they all left their work in the tables and hugged my legs. My goodness... They are all 12, 11 and 10 and they still are hugging my legs. Hah hah hah.

"So I'm back... Basically unhurt as the Trolls just excused themselves as they let me make my way through. They created a path and threw flowers as I walked by. Such an honour to be present before them trolls." I simply fabricated a story that made them all gaped when hearing how I was treated by the trolls.

"Daddy, Daddy... It is true they didn't hurt you at all and make way for you to walk?" asked Ingles as she tugged at my feet basically like a little koala.

"Of course it's true, I was a bit held up because I went hunting these wild boars for their pork chops since I didn't take their hides away. Once all you are done with the work and had taken dinner, I'd let you slice the pork chops and give a few to the matron as a sign to do forgive you for coming back late to the dorms." I suggested and they all chorused their enthusiasm for going back late tonight.

They all wished to stay up later after dinner and listen to me spin tales of bullshit and entertain them. They immediately returned to their work and continued as all wanted to complete their target of 500 toothpaste in porcelain jewel cases for the day.

I went to Patricia and kissed her on her forehead as she wished me, "Welcome back my Prince..." Hah Hah Hah... When did I become a Prince without heritage and a kingdom?"

I went to my room and placed my bottle filled with the water from the Fountain Of Youth and then I went back to the Great Hall to make roasted pork chops and to give the vial of the water for Prius.

"Leave for Aermagh in 7 days time, bro. You don't have to give him immediately. He would surely be suspicious about how you would be able to obtain it in such a short time. By the way, what are you going to get for the reward?" I asked since u had totally forgotten to ask what Prius would get after he presented the vial to the Ruler of Aermagh.

"I don't think I would receive the reward, maybe it's in the form of credits, horse or livestock. The effort is you, Audemars my friend. You should be getting the reward."

"Naaahhh...I've got mine already and its a form of another 15 new products." I waved my hand off since I've got what I wanted and this would be great for the community here in Ingmery.

"You are really keeping this going eh? 400 bottles of 'Head To Toe' Shampoo in 10 different scents and 500 jewel cases of 'Sparklie' Toothpaste in 5 flavours and now another 15 more new products? Maybe I get some of the travelling merchants to come and visit Beauty World after 2 weeks from now? " Prius pointed out after he decided to help out in the business.

"Ah... That's the reward that I would like to be getting. We can start with the ones in Ingmery after your return. I'm going to settle these pork chips and add it to our dinner later on. It takes some time to marinate them." I said as I excused myself to my room and change back to my everyday clothes and went to the kitchen to prepare the marination ingredients for the pork chop.

After taking out the meat tenderizer, some salt, pepper and spices, the pork chops were sliced into half a thumb thick. After washing them off, I used a small meat pounder to slightly flatten the meat so it would be easily roasted and the meat to absorb the spices.

I then placed several pieces inside a large bowl, placed the ingredients inside it and smother them evenly and set it aside after covering it. This way, the pieces would be ready for me to roast them before dinner.

I washed my hands and then I proceeded to buy the needed plants for the next project. I had already the following Peppermint, Citrus, Tea tree, Strawberry, Green Apple, Hibiscus, Jasmine, Lavender, Lilac, Rose, Aloe vera and Orange.

All I need is to have cultivation for cucumber, avocado, apricot, chamomile, watermelon, and ginger. As for the rest like oatmeal, coconut oil and coffee it would be bought directly from the market once we had completed the base scent ingredient.
