Chapter 344: One Step Closer (2/2)

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Not long after, multiple small rifts appeared in front of Argentum, dropping down a few flasks filled to the brim with viscous red fluid, with some falling over others while they were being summoned. These flasks were none other than the Heaven's Flame Potions that Eleanor had concocted and given to Argentum quite some time ago. Although he had 20 of them in his possession at the moment, he could not help but remember the time he had consumed over 50 Heaven's Water Potions only to achieve the True Element level of understanding for the Water element.

With that in mind, he dispelled the sigil he used to control the various portions of the inheritance before going ahead and rerouting the energy in his body towards a certain point, allowing him to connect with a certain being soon after.

”What's up, Argentum?” Since he was in the Flame Spirit Inheritance, it was no surprise that the one Argentum had contacted was Eleanor. ”Do you need anything from me?”

”Yeah,” Argentum said in response, dragging the very last syllable of his response for a bit. ”Could I grab some more Heaven's Flame Potions from you? I think I'm gonna need quite a sizable amount of it.”

”Are you going to try and achieve the True Element level of understanding for the Fire element?” Eleanor could not help but ask, slightly surprising Argentum for a bit, only to conclude that Felix had talked about the various levels of understanding with Eleanor once he had obtained his hands on it. Nodding in response even though she wasn't there, he responded, ”Exactly. I think now's the perfect time for me to try and attempt achieving Lesser Origin.”

”I see,” Eleanor said, going silent for a bit. Not long after, she then told him, ”Head to the storage room. At the very far end of the room, turn left and you'll see a pile of Heaven's Flame Potions I've been saving for selling. Of course, you shouldn't feel guilty that you're using them since you're the one who gave me the recipe to concoct them in the first place.”

Even though Eleanor said that, Argentum still felt a bit guilty, prompting him to say, ”I promise I'll repay you for this in the future.”

With that said, he then thought of repaying Felix in the future as well for giving him Heaven's Water Potions. After talking for a bit more, the connection between the two had been cut off as he infused energy into his control sigil, allowing a corridor that led to the inheritance's storage room to be created.

It did not take long for Argentum to arrive at the storage room, though it did take a while for him to reach the very far end of the room, even with a couple of movement speed buffs activated. Either way, at the very moment he had arrived at that point, he then turned left, only to be left at a loss for words as the amount of Heaven's Flame Potions he could see with his field of vision was far beyond what he had expected.

”So that's why Eleanor told me to not feel guilty,” Argentum said as he could roughly count that the number of flasks he could see with his sense of vision was around in the hundreds range. Taking into consideration the number of flasks it took for him to achieve the True Element level for the Water element, he went ahead and took around 50 flasks to bring the total number of flasks he had to 70, making sure to grab a bit extra since it would take him quite some time to get back to this place.

Activating more movement speed buffs to hastily get out of the storage room and head back to Eleanor's room, Argentum went ahead and sat down in front of the flasks he had summoned from his inventory before placing all of the flasks he grabbed from the storage room beside those. Taking in a deep breath, he then went ahead and drank up the contents of one flask, increasing his perception of the Fire element to a higher level.

With that, he then conjured tendrils inside the cavity in his upper torso where the Tome of the Four Elements was located, flipping through the pages of the book before stopping at the section of the Fire element, committing everything to memory before going ahead and starting the enlightenment process.

By the time he had consumed 12 flasks worth of Heaven's Flame Potions, his progress in terms of understanding the Fire element had already surpassed the Animate level, being around halfway to achieving the True Element level. Unfortunately for him, just as he was about to consume his 13th flask, a message was sent to him through a strand of energy, prompting him to let out a sigh of slight annoyance, though that did not stop him from appearing at the entrance of the inheritance.

Whoosh!

With an aura of slight annoyance surrounding him, Argentum went ahead and entertained the visitor who had appeared in front of the inheritance, Rosalia. Of course, he was somewhat shocked to see Rosalia here after a day since she did say that it would take a day for her at the very least to procure the items he needed. Taking into consideration the amount of time it took to arrive here, it meant that Rosalia only took around half a day or less to procure everything.

Snapping her fingers with a light smile on her face, a large swath of Earth energy particles appeared in front of the two before transforming into the various items Argentum had asked from her…though the quantity was far beyond what he was expecting.

”Isn't this much more than what I asked from you?” Argentum asked, wondering if there was a catch to their seemingly equivalent exchange. In response, Rosalia replied, 'It is, but it's worth it when compared to the recipe you've given me. I've tested out the waters for the Heaven's Earth Potion and they're instantly selling like hotcakes. As thanks, I've decided to add more portions of the items you needed…though it was mostly because Eleanor told me you'd need more of it for something.”

”Tell Eleanor my thanks, then,” Argentum let out an awkward chuckle before telling Rosalia that he did not need any help in storing it inside the inheritance. Even though Rosalia was slightly curious as to what Argentum was going to do to move so much stuff at once, she decided that she shouldn't even bother, given how she was far stronger than him.

After making sure that Rosalia was long gone, Argentum went ahead and commanded the system to keep all of the items in his inventory before heading back to the inheritance through his sigil.

With that done, his grind to enhance his understanding of the Fire element continued.
