Chapter 163 Collaboration
Not only did Leylin display his immense might in front of the old witch, he even revealed that he had the backing of the Four Seasons Garden. Hence, the old witch now had no choice but to take him seriously.
As for the possibility of the other party catching hold of Leylin’s weak point?
Right now Leylin had not joined any dark Magi organisations, so why would he be afraid of that?
Also, after successfully joining the organisation that the old witch was in, everyone would be in the same boat. Leylin also had other plans, and would never allow this old witch to reveal them to others.
*Crash!*
A heap of high-grade magic crystals that radiated huge energy waves was emptied on the table, along with a dozen black magic crystal cards.
These magic crystal cards were made of the essence of 1000 magic crystals, which was the origin for many formations source of energy. Hence, they were extremely sought after.
“All of my magic crystals are here. Every item in this shop, as long as you want them, can be yours. If only you could give me that potion’s formula.”
An earnest and pleading expression appeared on the old witch’s face. It seemed that she needed this potion’s formula very badly.
This turn of events left Leylin somewhat shocked.
From what he thought, this old witch would definitely be enthralled by it, but not to such a crazy degree.
However, this situation was naturally more favourable towards him now.
Leylin appeared indifferent as he swept up the magic crystal cards and crystallised Darkness energy particles and stored them in his robes.
“How precious is the formula of a potion that can increase the spiritual force of even official Magi? It isn’t even easy for me to get this kind of item!”
Leylin said nonchalantly, and despair was drawn on the old witch’s face.
“Although the formula cannot be given, we can still cooperate!” Right when the old witch was about to burst in rage, Leylin gently spoke again, causing the old witch relax the energy particles that she had gathered.
“Cooperate? How are we going to do that?”
“You’re an expert in the field of spirits, and the raw ingredients for this spiritual potion are all spirits! You’ll provide the ingredients and do all of the other preparatory work, and I’ll be in charge of brewing the potion. As for the potions that are successful, I’ll get 60% of them, and you’ll get the remaining 40%!”
Leylin suggested.
It was obvious that this proposal seemed to hit the old witch’s soft spot.
In terms of potential, she couldn’t take down the present Leylin, and the power backing Leylin was also one that caused her some amount of fear. In addition, this potion was extremely important to her.
“The ratio is too little. I’ll be obtaining the spirits and doing all the prep work, which is much more dangerous. If I ever get caught by the light Magi, I’ll definitely be chased to the ends of the world!”
The old witch emphasised the fact that she’d be in the most danger.
“That’s the best you’ll get! It won’t get any higher than this!” Leylin wore a deadpan expression. “After all, the formula is in my hands. As long as you agree, we can immediately sign a contract and summon the Trial’s Eye to bear witness to it!”
“…Very well!” The old witch was silent for a long while, before forcing the words out of her mouth.
After picking another time to meet, Leylin left the area with a smile about his lips.
He had been planning on collaborating with her since after their first meeting.
The spiritual force potion that he had shown earlier was naturally the ancient potion formula for the Tears of Mary.
Back when he was an acolyte, he had already completed a simplified version of it—the Blood Vengeance Potion.
After he had advanced into a Rank 1 Warlock and upgraded the A.I. Chip, Leylin finally possessed the capabilities to restore the original incomplete formula of the potion.
This potion was indeed befitting of use by the ancient Magi. According to the A.I. Chip’s simple calculation, the Tears of Mary currently proved to be extremely beneficial for Leylin to speedily increase his spiritual force.
A large amount of spirits that had to be harvested, combined with the early stages of preparatory work, was extremely complicated and savage. The brutality contained was leagues above that of brewing the Blood Vengeance Potion! If the light Magi were to find out, Leylin’s only outcome would be a chase to the death, and even interrogation regarding the formula.
Leylin did not have the time and effort to take on such a risk.
Moreover, due to the potion formula’s special nature, the magicians who could handle the preparatory work had to have to strength of an official Magus and a deep understanding regarding the aspect of spirits.
Right now, the old witch was the only one that fulfilled this criterion.
Within the Four Seasons Garden, there were sure to be Magi who were able to fulfill these requirements, but Leylin wouldn’t even consider it.
