Leveling by potions

Ofcourse, Arthur won't tell them. It is still too early to let them know his secret. But to pacify the worries of these two men, he retrieve something from his spatial ring. It was a huge black wooden box.

"Take this box on that day. Do not open it. If this won't work, then nothing else wil serve your purpose."

"In exchange, I want all of the things on this list. I want them all tomorrow. This would help us brothers to increase our mana capacity a bit faster. If you can bring more, then that would be better."He passed on a piece of paper to Marty.

"Are you sure this would be enough, son?"

"Father, I already said I trust you more than anyone. Won't you trust me with this one?"

"Alright, but you can ask for another thing for this. You told us that you need these things for you and your brothers, then it is my responsibility to get it for you."

"Yes Arthur, if you need something then freely come to us, specially with things that will help you rank up. I also hope that you can spare some for your cousins, then if you need more, I will personally see that it would be delivered to you."

"Alright, but I don't have anything on my mind right now. Let us talk about this at a later date. As for my cousins, I will think of something for them."

Argon casually turned around with his hands behind his back and returned home.

The two men who were left behind felt the same thing right now: happiness, extreme happiness.

Marty decided to browse through the list but he was dumbfounded on what he saw. The things that would help someone rank up quickly definitely have high cost. However, everything on this list are herbs and tools amounting to a few gold coins. Even if they bought a hundred more, they can afford it.

"Hahahaha, this is great. I hate to say this but, if I can throw my own children to a spatial tunnel and they return reliable like your son, then I would not hesitate."

"Stop joking, big brother. You saw how Kathlyn came to be when Arthur was gone. If we have no other kids, then she may really have gone crazy. And that would be another problem."

"I know already. Did you get someone to inform your wife's family about Arthur's return?"

"Ofcourse, Kathlyn already informed them the moment she heard the city guards reporting our son's return. They replied back and said that they would visit three months from now. Should we tell Arthur about this?"

"Oh you can just tell your wife to tell him."

Marty stood up and retrieved the wooden black box. He tried to put it in his personal spatial ring but the box won't enter. He tried many times and to his dismay, it always failed. Finally, he tried it on an empty spatial ring and was successful.

'This wooden box is weird'.

"Brother please call our men back. We can already start gathering. There is no more need to acquire anything else."

==================================

The next day, Jeremy came by his room and gave him the things he requested. His father did not waste any of his time and just wished him to be careful.

Arthur took out the herbs and tools and placed them on his table. Kripkey gave him some potion recipes to help him originally rank up. It is time to test the lower rank recipes.

Kripkey really was an odd monster. He would study anything that can help him get laid. He once crafted a breastplate for a war siren, and the pleasure he recieved was totally undescribable.

The Elemental Combustion recipe needed ten roots of fire ginger, ten fruits of stone mango, twenty water dragon grass, one piece of snake poison grass, three lightning vines and ten stalks of wind chilis. Add it all up and let it boil for four hours non-stop. This would give him atleast ten potion tubes.

Arthur will consume six potion tubes every ten days and that would raise his mana capacity by a star. Dylan and Skye would take two potions each every two weeks. However, he needs to adjust the dosage and duration once he sees the effects of the potion on their bodies.

This method is very slow but he has no choice because the other recipes require certain ingredients that is not available here in this city. Even the strength and speed potions that he got from Kripkey is useless, not even one ingredient is available here.

As for the Elastic Container Method, he lacks the resources needed great enough to trigger his mana capacity.

Over the next three days, Arthur was busy concocting ang storing the potions. At the end of the third day, he stored ninety potion tubes for himself and thirty potions for his twin brothers.

He was not the only one who got busy over this three days. Almost all the eighteen persons who was summoned that day really did their best to acquire the herbs to be presented.

The families or associations who did not show any movement included the Zell family, the Allison family and two other noble family and surprisingly the auction houses.

The Zell family have Arthur so they did not do excessive things.

The three noble families already have many herbs in their possession so they have already gathered them starting from the first day.

The representatives of the auction houses may have a trump card already in store.

On the fourth day, all the eighteen persons gathered again on the outskirts of the forest facing the North gate. They were all confident of what they brought.
