The Moon Thief

Chapter 110: The Beginning of a New Process

After a long and tedious journey, Heinald finally arrived in Saylam City.

Before going to Redsand Mansion, he decided to go to The Sleeping Owl. He needed a lot of Arkana Stones and therefore he needed to brew a lot of potions.

When old Rovnof saw that he had managed to become a Level 2 Ainsar, he didn't know what to do and kept bowing before him. This pissed him off, and he had instructed Rovnof to treat him as before.

After getting the supplies he needed, he traveled to the Redsand Mansion. However, contrary to what he expected, he did not find an angry master.

"Master Albin went on an adventure two weeks ago?" Heinald learned that his master was not in the mansion when a servant in the mansion informed him.

"Yes, my lord." The servant lowered his head.

"Did he leave me a note?" Heinald asked.

"He didn't leave a note to me to pass on to you. However, he may have left it to other servants. I'll go and ask them for you."

The servant quickly left.

Heinald began to wonder where his master might have gone. At the same time, he ordered the servants to prepare an area for the Revakender in the big garden at the back of the mansion.

The servants in the mansion were trembling with fear when they saw Revakender. Because of this, Heinald had to explain to them that there was nothing to be afraid of, that this baby dragon would not act against his will.

Since this baby dragon was growing so quickly, it was obvious that it wouldn't fit in the garden any time soon. Therefore, after a while, he would have to fend for himself in the plains near Saylam City.

In fact, Heinald had no doubt that he could take care of himself. This baby dragon's physical strength was already exceeding that of a Level 1 Ainsar. Soon, his physical strength would surpass even a Level 2 Ainsar.

Other than that, he hadn't been able to find out where his master had gone. None of the servants and priests in the mansion knew where he had gone.

After a while, Heinald realized that there was nothing he could do and stopped thinking about it. He began to spend his days brewing potions and doing various experiments. He was naturally able to generate ideas superior to many others and conduct more successful experiments than most, since he had read many sources of information and accurately remember all the content in each source of information he read.josei

Besides brewing potions to sell, he also had a knack for creating new potion formulas.

The days continued to pass quickly. In the process, he brewed many potions and created a potion formula that he thought would work for him.

He named this potion 'Deep Hallucination Mixture'. This potion was not a potion consumed by drinking. When the bottle of this potion was broken, the mixture that came out spread rapidly over an area of ​​twenty meters, causing the person it came into contact with to have various hallucinations. This potion could even affect first-phase Level 2 Ainsar. However, he did not know what effect it would have on the Magical Beasts.

When Heinald went out for the first time in a long time, he went again to The Sleeping Owl.

"My lo-Heinald...Welcome!" When Rovnof saw him, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Old Rovnof, I need your help again…" Heinald grinned.

"What do you mean..." Rovnof began to feel uneasy.

A jade jar appeared in Heinald's hand, "This jar contains Spotted Volcano Gorilla blood. If you let me spend four more hours with a few more books like last time, I'll give this all to you for free.

"Spotted Volcano Gorilla...Wait...Did you get it by yourself?" Rovnof stared wide-eyed at the jade jar he was holding.

"Mmm." Heinald said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to do the slightest bit of copying, I'll just skim through it and hope to keep in mind the little bit of information I choose..."

"Oh... well!" Rovnof's eyes lit up, "However, I have something to tell you. You are Albin Redsand's apprentice and you have recently become a Level 2 Ainsar, I'm sure the bigwigs who own the shop will let me sell these books to you if they find out about it."

"Next time we'll do that..." Heinald didn't know what to say for a while, then he passed it off with a rote answer.

"What kind of books do you want?" Rovnof asked.

"Bring any books you can find containing information on Runes, Formations, and Spirits."

"The information in these top level books is very complex and difficult to understand. I just don't understand what he's trying to do by looking at them for a few hours..." Rovnof was having a hard time understanding the man in front of him. He was aware that he was a genius, but not even a genius would be able to digest the high-level information in those books in a matter of hours.

Heinald noticed that Rovnof was looking at him strangely and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Why do you want all the books?" Rovnof asked.

"There are a few specific topics I'd like to learn about, so I'm going to see if there's anything written on those topics in all of these books." Heinald shrugged, he was as relaxed as if he were telling a common lie.

"Oh! As I guessed." Rovnof turned around and went into the secret part of the shop to find the kind of books he wanted.

After a while Rovnof returned with some thick books in his lap.

Like last time, Heinald sat in one of the rooms at the back of the shop and he started reading books that gave high-level information about Runes, Formations and Spirits.

About four hours later he walked out of the shop smiling.

Rovnof was a little suspicious that he was doing some kind of cheating, but if he had somehow made copies or spells, the formation protecting the books would have acted immediately. So he started to think that he was both a genius and a fool.

When Heinald returned to the mansion, he began to analyze all the information he had just learned. He had acquired so much information that it took him a week to analyze this information and make inferences.

Another reason why it took so long to analyze that this information was high-level information, and naturally they were very complex and difficult to deduce.

One day a servant came to his door and informed him that Grandmaster Albin had returned.

Albin had not been around for a long time, and no one knew where he had gone.

Heinald immediately went to his room to talk to him.

"Master!"

When Heinald entered her room, he bowed and greeted him.

"Before you ask, let me tell you…I went to the Anuen Mountain to research a few herbs." Albin spoke indifferently.

"Anuen Mountain?" Heinald's brows furrowed.

"Yeah, it's a long way from here." Albin took his eyes off the bottle in front of him and looked at him, "You're going to brew potions with me every day for a month."

"I know."

"Good, now I have some business to attend to. Be at the Potions Lab by tomorrow morning!" Albin waved his hand.

After Heinald left the room, he immediately went to Revakender and took care of him for a while.

With each passing day, this baby dragon continued to grow rapidly.

The next day, Heinald immediately went to the Potions Lab and preoccupied with numerous plants and organs that Albin had ordered him to detoxify using Spirit Flame.

Every day for a month, Heinald helped him for hours. The rest of his time he prepared for a very rigorous experimentation process that he had planned.

The reason why he wanted to gain advanced knowledge about Runes, Formations and Spirits was the experiment process he had planned in his mind.

For this process, he asked Albin for books containing high-level information about these concepts, and his master lent him three books that gave important information about each concept due to his help in the potion brewing process.

The main purpose of Heinald's experiment was to create a new type of potion. In order to create this new potion type, he had to evolve the Spirit Imprisonment Formation.

According to the plan in his mind, if he succeeded, he would be able to brew much more effective and powerful potions.

Time flew by and ten long years passed.

Heinald was staring at a potion bottle in his hand under the dim light in the dark room. The blue liquid inside this potion bottle radiated a cold aura and a pale blue light.

"Experiment 1286...Successful!" Heinald smiled relieved, "After overcoming hundreds of problems and obstacles, I can now start working on an advanced type of potion brewing!"

After many experiments, Heinald was able to make changes to the Spirit Imprison Formation's structure, and he was now able to make it usable on Magical Beast spirits.

The fact that he could now also obtain Magical Beast spirits greatly expanded his field of experimentation with spirits. After this process, his two biggest priorities were to try to obtain Spirit Particles from Magical Beast spirits and to obtain the elemental energy in their spirits and make them usable.

Heinald had not yet succeeded in obtaining Spirit Particles from a Magical Beast spirit. However, he had managed to turn these spirits into the main ingredient of the potion. for example, the Spirit of a Magical Beast, which has an affinity for the Ice Element, contains a dense particle of Ice Energy; A potion based on the Ice Element could be brewed.

He had done 1286 experiments just to achieve this!

Moreover, it took a lot more experimentation than that to succeed in making changes to the Spirit Imprison Formation structure.

"Okay…I can start the making process of the Icysoul Potion!"

Heinald took out a hexagonal stone from the dimensional pocket of his robe. It was a gray stone and was very shiny, with intense waves of pure energy emanating from it.

He had spent almost half a million Arkana Stones on this Hexagonal Lykul Stone. Fortunately, this stone was not disposable.

Three magic pentagrams and symbols appeared around him. The three magic pentagrams came together and formed a triangular energy field.

A Sin Stone appeared in Heinald's hand, and from within it emerged a ball of blue light with a thin layer of energy around it. It was the spirit of a Frozen Abyss Spear Scorpion. This spirit had at least as much energy as a Level 2 Ainsar's spirit.

He had put a lot of effort into acquiring this spirit.

The blue ball of light slowly began to shrink when it entered the energy field formed by the three magic pentagrams.

After a few hours, the spirit of the Frozen Abyss Spear Scorpion turned into a small raindrop.

Heinald carefully placed it inside a small tube, then immediately de-energized the Hexagonal Lykul Stone and destroyed the formation.

He went to the table on the right side of the room and slowly placed the tube in his hand on the table. He picked up a small flower pot in the middle of the table, the soil of which was covered with a thin layer of ice.

Heinald dropped the drop in the tube into this flower pot.

Seconds later, a sprout appeared on the soil inside the pot. This sprout began to grow at an incredible speed.

After ten minutes, this little sprout had turned into a flower. This flower looked like a daisy, but its leafs were completely made of ice.

Heinald carefully plucked the leaves of this flower and threw them into the silver water in a small cauldron.

As the icy leaves came into contact with the silver water, an icy blue light enveloped the entire room.

A strong ice aura covered the entire room.

Heinald picked up the tube contains Baiwud Owl blood on the table, removed the stopper, and dripped a drop. He carefully watched the reaction in the potion and added blood to the mix when the time was right.

After adding a total of four drops, he put the blood-filled tube on the edge.

He began to observe the mixture in the cauldron without grabbing anything. About five minutes later, he sprang into action again and added three Venomous Pan Thorns to the mix. Thereupon, the mixture quickly clung together and shrunk to the size of a small pearl.

"I followed the reaction process well and added the ingredients just in time. Now there is only one process left..."

After Heinald had put the mixture in the cauldron into an extremely durable jade bottle, he built a few seals in his mind and combined them with the bottle.

"The Icysoul Potion is ready!" Heinald exhaled loudly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Icysoul Potion was a superior outer effect potion created by him. If Heinald threw the Icysoul Potion bottle and the bottle broke, the runes on the bottle would trigger an action, and the pearl-sized mixture inside the bottle would freeze the spirits of all beings within ten meters of diameter for a while.

For example, if this potion was used on Heinald, his spirit would be damaged by frostbite and he would be unable to use Magic Energy for a while.

After Heinald finished the experiment, he destroyed all the remaining materials and all traces of his experiment.

He left his room after removing the formation he created so that the energy waves in his experiment would not leak out.

Over the past ten years he had also experimented a lot with Albin and they had finally succeeded in completing the making of his multi-effect potion.

After various experiments on the biological structure of the plant that Heinald brought from the Starlight Realm, Albin had succeeded in integrating its structure with the structure of the special plants he had grown.

This gave them a chance to eliminate the adaptation problem within 1.5 seconds after the essences were mixed together.

After hundreds of experiments with his master, Heinald realized that it was the fire essence, one of the main ingredients in the potion, that disrupted the adaptation in the filamentous tissue. After sharing this with his master, the two of them began to investigate the cause of the adaptation problem of the fire essence.

Finally, when the reaction started, they concluded that the fire element energy emitted from the fire essence momentarily emitted more energy than the others.

Finally, Heinald started working on a formation to eliminate this energy imbalance. The formation he was trying to create would have only one purpose, and that was to suppress the excess fire energy generated within 1.5 seconds after the reaction started, so that all components had the same level of elemental energy when the effects of the reaction occurred.

He bought all the books that gave information about runes and formations he could found in past ten years.

So it didn't take him long to create a schematic of a formation that would suppress the fire energy. However, there was one point to note about this formation: to suppress the extra fire energy in the reaction of the potion, the person using the formation had to use their own Magic Energy. Therefore, he had to adjust the rate he would use well.

If he used too much Magic Energy and suppressed the fire energy released in the reaction more than necessary, the brewing process of the potion would fail!

It took Albin a long time to learn to create and control this formation. However, he eventually managed to successfully brew his sole purpose, the Nitrius Potion.

Normally, Heinald could have brewed the Nitrius Potion earlier than he did, but he didn't.

Albin had given Heinald the seeds of all the plants needed for the Nitrius Potion and the soil in which it was grown, so that he could grow and brew the plants needed for the Nitrius Potion whenever he wanted. After all, this multi-effect potion was the result of the collaboration of the two of them, only they had the right to brew this potion.

With the successful completion of the Nitrius Potion, Heinald's apprenticeship came to an end. Now that he had fulfilled his promise to Albin, he could leave his apprenticeship and go his own way.

That's what he would do!

After his years with Albin Redsand, he had become a very different person in every sense. Although he did not reveal it to anyone, including Albin, his brewing techniques and knowledge pool were at least as phased as a Grandmaster.

Being Albin's apprentice, he had earned both too many Arkana Stones and access to too many important resources over the years. However, it wasn't for free, he had definitely worked harder than anyone else. Sometimes he hadn't slept for months and experimented constantly.

Naturally, this process had worn him out mentally.

His idea was to set aside a few years for himself before going to Ruthas Academy and rest his mind during this time.

But before that, there was one last thing he had to deal with.

A revenge!

A long awaited revenge...
