Chapter 34

"A potion formula that can raise spiritual force?" Kroft was a little surprised.

"The success rate of brewing these potions is too low and the resources required are extremely expensive. Many Potioneering Masters have lost their family fortunes over this, and only those with a strong family background are able to reap the benefits"

Although Leylin's Potioneering talent was highly outstanding, Kroft still felt that his apprentice had set his goals a little too high.

"Sir, you know it too. My aptitude is Fourth-grade acolyte. Although it's considered to be a good aptitude, I am but a Simple acolyte without any backing, I want to solidify my foundation. Breaking through to a Magus is easiest when it's done at a young age, so I want to give it a gamble."

Leylin spoke softly.

"Oh You!" Kroft sighed and sat down slowly, "I do have a few basic potion formulas for raising the spiritual force, but I signed a contract preventing me from reselling the formulas when I got them from other parties. As for my own formulas, I don't know if you are able to afford them"

"How many magic crystals are they worth?" he asked.

"Haha! I knew you wouldn't give up. 5000 magic crystals, and that's only because you're my apprentice!"

Leylin showed a stunned expression but inwardly snickered, To the current him it's a small enough price. He mostly wants to get his hands on Tears of Mary, The Ancient Potion but since he can afford Kroft original one too, he will get it.

"Developing a potion formula for raising spiritual force requires a Potioneering Master to spend a dozen, or even several dozens, of years on continuous experimentation, and the consumption for this is immense. Moreover, possessing an exclusive formula usually boosts a Potioneering Master's family development. Hence, it is within reason for potion formulas to be this costly."

Having a monopoly will yield the greatest profits. Leylin nodded his head slowly.

" I will buy it " Leylin said while showing a pained expression.

Kroft nodded and gave him the formula, Leylin gave him the Magic Crystals, As leylin was going to give an excuse to extort the Ancient formula from him, Kroft said.

" I still have a few formulas from the Magi of old, and they were obtained when I went exploring several times before, so you can use them and give it a try!" Kroft said slowly.

"Formulas from the Magi of old? " Leylin was surprised that Kroft brought this topic up on his own.

"Indeed! Magi were the most prosperous back in the ancient times. Not only did they construct the Byron empire which spanned over several continents, they had even set their sights on several other distant worlds, conquering different planes one at a time!" Kroft's face was a little flushed. It seemed as though he held the utmost fascination towards the prowess of the ancient Magi.

"It's a pity that the Byron Empire collapsed one night, due to some unknown reason, and the legacies of these ancient Magi were lost. We, as Magi in more recent times, have only risen to power through a few remnants of the research and documents left behind by the ancient Magi"

Little by little, Kroft spoke of the story behind the scenes. This information was never mentioned in the historical books in the academy.

Leylin put up an bewildered face as Kroft explained. Kroft read his expression and laughed.

"You are thinking why I am telling you this right?" Kroft smiled.

"Although the effects of these formulas are good, many of the ingredients have already ceased to exist. At least, I have never come across them in the 200 years of my life"

Kroft said unhurriedly, "However, I know about your desire to walk your own path and I want my apprentice to succeed where I failed "

Leylin was elated. With the help of the A.I. Chip, he has collected a lot of samples and have already achieved a lot in his research.

On the surface, he still put on a frowning and worried expression, "So You want me to find substitute ingredients?"

"Alright then! However, you should know the rarity of information concerning the advancement to an official Magus. What are you planning to exchange for it?"

"Although the information is extremely valuable, this and other single-use records are vastly different. I believe that this will leave Professor Dorotte satisfied!"

Leylin said as he put a hefty bag in Kroft's hands.

"Moreover, after obtaining this piece of information, Professor you can also have a copy of it!"

Towards Leylin's suggestion, Kroft only raised his eyebrows, not saying anything.

But when he opened the bag, he could not help but sigh. "That old bag of bones Dorotte, would most likely not be able to reject you!"

Leylin smiled.

In the bag he handed to Kroft, not only was it filled with a large number of magic crystals and precious ingredients, there was also a Flourishing Flower.

This ingredient was extremely difficult to obtain and had regenerative abilities for magicians with broken limbs.

These ingredients were not common even in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

As for this Flourishing Flower, it was a by-product from the experiment lab.

Currently, Dorotte was looking all over for materials to regenerate Jayden's arm, these materials were an enticement which Dorotte could not refuse!

...

Three days later, within his room.

Leylin's wish had at last been fulfilled and now he held the information in his hands.

"Branded Swordsman?" Leylin Smiled, "I can now finally complete my research on Grand Knight Path?"

"Magi are people who possess mysterious powers! In ancient times, those with great power were often labelled as magicians! As for Branded Swordsman, through the alchemical runes, a magic spell formation would be branded on their body, allowing them to gain power. It is a small division of the ancient Magi!"

"Branded Swordsman emphasize more of physical strength training. Through the regular practice and branding, nature's strength would be stored inside their body. In crucial moments, the energy would erupt explosively."

"Along the years, Part of the information regarding the inheritance of ancient Branded Swordsman was widely spread. After some modifications, it was suited more towards regular humans. This turned into the creation of Knights and Grand Knights!"

"Which is to say, a Branded Swordsman is an advanced version of a Knight!"

"Even though it has more than 60% of the information is missing. Especially the part about branding and spell formation setting, it is almost all gone. With my research so far on formation from the books in the Inheritance land, It's not a big deal."

"In ancient times, the combination of Branded Swordsman and Magi were a nightmare to enemies of many other worlds." Leylin eyes shone with a crazed look.

"A.I.Chip, Copy the contents and start to optimize the advanced form of Grand Knight path, and show me the estimated time "
