Chapter 112: Ravaging the Wilderness (a)
"Fatty, do you have all the ingredients I requested? I have already partnered up with Leilani and got my hands on the rest of the ingredients." Marvin said.
Some days ago, he exposed the pill recipe to Leilani. She readily agreed. Their relation also strengthened as Marvin had handed over the recipe of mana channel opening pill without any hesitation. For a moment, Leilani believed that he doesn't realize the value of this pill. However, as Marvin exposed the rest of his plans to her, she realized that this innocent and naive man was far better in business than her.
"Bro, here are 400 sets of Silver Moon Grass and 50 sets of White Branch Fruit." Fatty Liam said before taking out many sets of special wooden boxes that are specifically created to store magical herbs from his spatial ring. Magical herbs stored in these wooden boxes won't rot for 50 years. Moreover, their medicinal essence won't decrease as long as they reside inside the wooden box.
Not just Leilani, but even Marvin and Bai Yue stared at Fatty Liam with an expression of disbelief and amazement.
Just how did he get his hands on so many sets of magical herbs?
"So many sets of magical herbs? Did you loot the treasury of Heaven's Alchemist Guild?" Marvin asked.
"Wow, it would be hard for even me to get so many of them at the same time. Especially the white branch fruit as every single piece is protected by a colony of silver-fanged ants." Leilani exclaimed.
"You really are doted upon by Grand Uncle." Bai Yue said. She was also Fatty Liam's childhood friend and had also met his grandfather several times.
Fatty Liam rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "Haha, their total cost is more than hundred of millions but grandfather was impressed with me. I was meditating in the high-rank energy evolving technique and he happened to come into my room. He was in disbelief. He was certain that someone like me won't gain the acknowledgment of a high-rank energy evolving technique. I told him the truth, therefore. Then I told him that you were the one who needed these herbs. Thus, he handed over these magical herbs to me for free and told me to thank you."
Fatty Liam's grandfather dotted this grandchild a lot, but he wasn't blind. He was certain that there was no way a cowardly mouse like his fat grandchild will gain the acknowledgment of a high-rank energy evolving technique. Though he was very happy as Fatty Liam's future was set in stone. Moreover, he was grateful for Marvin, as it was only due to his help that his sole grandchild will become a powerhouse in the future. Thus, he gave away so many magical herbs for free.
"Tell your grandfather that I am also very thankful. Not just for these herbs, but even for the notes on alchemy."
Marvin has gained a lot of help from Fatty Liam's grandfather. One could even say that he was half a teacher for Marvin. Whereas Noah helped him by transferring the knowledge directly to his soul.
Marvin looked at Leilani and said, "What about you? Did you get the ingredients I asked?"
"I got the Hundred Year Moon Milk and Violent Yang Flower, but" Leilani said.
"But what?" Marvin asked.
"Sorry, I couldn't get the Blood Tree Crown Leaves." She was clearly disappointed with herself.
"Sister, don't be disappointed." Bai Yue said before lifting her hand to gently pat her head.
Though Leilani moved away before she could be touched and said, "Don't touch me."
"Ah, ok." Bai Yue was slightly put aback by her traumatized gaze and she wondered what is wrong.
"Don't think bad of her," Marvin said before comforting Leilani and explaining her condition and the curse that was put on her to Bai Yue and Fatty Liam.
Bai Yue said, "I'm sorry. If I knew about your curse earlier then I wouldn't have tried to touch you."
Their gentleness touched Leilani's heart. "Are you not disappointed?"
"Nope, why would we ever be?"
"If even the owner of the mystic shop can't get it then these ingredients must be extremely rare."
"Yeah,"
Fatty Liam rubbed the back of his head and jokingly said, "Bro, you just exposed the entire pill recipe to me. Am I going to be silenced?"
"Trust is necessary for business! If I don't trust my business partner and friends then who will?"
"I promise to not betray your trust." Fatty Liam said, "Should I check with my grandfather about the Blood Tree Crown Leaves?"
"Why not?"
Fatty Liam activated the bracelet he was wearing. A holographic screen opened up. It was a newly released item called Virtual Link. This item could only be purchased in special markets and only those who have a privilege level of 5 and above could make the purchase. Fatty Grandfather gifted this to him.
Furthermore, a person with a privilege level of 4 or above can connect to the dream world by using this product.
"Eh, I was just sneezing and wondered who was remembering me. So it's you, little ball." William said.
He was chilling in his courtyard with a smoke pipe in his mouth and occasionally breathed out to create rings of smoke. William was in far better shape than most youngsters. He wasn't a frail old man, and his muscled body and grayish hair would even attract young girls in their twenties.
"Well, the thing is" Fatty Liam explained what he needed to his grandfather.
After a while, he suddenly smacked his forehead and cried,
"I asked gramps but even the guild doesn't have any crown leaves of the blood tree in stock right now, but we will get some sets of it in some weeks if we issue a quest." Fatty Liam said, "Though I specifically inquired about where we could immediately acquire them. Grandfather guaranteed that they aren't available in any famous or non-famous markets, and the only way to immediately get them is to go to the wilderness ourselves," He added.
