58 Evolution (2/2)
He patted her a bit more, enjoying the soft feeling of her fur before he left the dungeon with wide strides.
After that he decided to not yet meet his mentor but instead try to level his magic power to 50 first. According to his plans he would do that by refining pills, but first he had to get some more medical herbs, since even though he collected quite a few during his stunt into the forest they wouldn't be enough. Besides that he preferred to refine another pill which needed other medical herbs.
He had searched for information on how to best buy these herbs and the best was seemed to be to buy them at a herbalist shop for CP. Of course this only worked for the shop on the Slavers Alliance Campus since other shops wouldn't accept CP.
Soon he arrived at the largest herbalist shop on campus. Even though there were others these mostly dealt with special herbs while this one dealt with high volume sales of common herbs.
As soon as he opened the door and entered the building a refreshing scent of medical herbs wafted over him. He couldn't help but inhale it while a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
He then looked around the shop.
At the walls to the side there were crates of herbes displayed. All of the crates contained at least 50 different stalks and above them there was a expansive description of it as well as the price per kilogram. The price was given in gold as well as in CP enabling the customers to better decide on how to sale.
On the side opposite of the door was a long counter at which two salesman stood. They didn't try to help the customers in the shop but instead only waited for them to order something and then serve them.
Ivan's gaze swept over the creates of herbs and he soon found the herbs he needed. One was the Blood Forming Grass, which was a common herb that had the effect of improving the rate at which the body formed blood for a short time. Then there was the Flesh Mending Grass, which similarly to the Blood Forming Grass did the same thing as it name indicated. Finally there was the Essence Collecting Grass which was a catalyst used for the pill.
All of the herbs were of the lowest category as they were common grade grasses. Generally a grass would always be the lowest of a grade, since they could be found in larger amounts and it was easier to grow them than other types of herbs.
After checking out the prices he found out that he would only need 20 CP for one kg of all of them which would theoretically be enough for 10 pills. According to the prices for the pills he wanted to craft which were Lesser Healing Pills he would be able to make a small profit if he managed to reach at least 50 percent success rate. Of course that was unlikely to happen to soon since when he had tried refining pills he had not even one success.
After deciding to spend 600 of his CP on the herbs he then proceeded towards one of the salesman which was a kind looking middle aged man.
”Welcome, how may I help you?”, the salesman greeted him with a friendly tone.
”Hello, I would like to buy 10 kg of Blood Forming Grass, Flesh Mending Grass and Essence Collecting Grass each.”
When the salesman heard the order he smiled. Even though it wasn't a big order, someone like him who had worked as a salesman for many years could instantly understand that this youth before him was only starting on the path towards pill refining.
