Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Azure Spirit Liquid 1
"Well... should I return you then?" Regret grinned awkwardly, showing his teeth. He was eager to get rid of this hot potato. If it was an ordinary book, it would have been fine, but now that it had turned into a spirit beast, things were not that simple. Nobody wanted an unknown person around them.
"No." Magi the book replied firmly, then his voice suddenly became anxious, "Hey, little guy, don\'t go, come back!"
Regret couldn\'t even figure out what was going on. He simply pushed open the door, realizing that he couldn\'t handle this fellow. He had to go find his father. No matter what, he didn\'t want to share a room with a strange book that could talk.
"Young people are so hot headed, they can\'t even handle a little excitement," Magi the book suddenly appeared in mid air and blocked Regret\'s path with a shimmer. "As long as you help me with something, you can have as much of the trash on the table as you want."
Regret hesitated and glanced strangely at the Condensing spirit liquid on the table. Did he hear it right? The Condensing spirit liquid , considered a treasure by all low level spirit masters, was just trash in the eyes of Magi the book?
"Really?" Regret turned his burning gaze towards the floating Magi the Book.
"The Condensing spirit liquid is made from open air grass and golden crystal flowers. In the world of alchemy, it\'s just the lowest grade medicine. Even the servants of some big families on the mainland would look down on it. I never expected that in your Veloria City, it would be considered a treasure."
"What can you give me then?" Regret\'s heart raced as he stared at the Magi the Book.
With a flip, Magi the Book rustled and, in a blink of an eye, a densely written piece of paper detached from its body and floated down to Regret.
"The Azure Spirit Liquid, made from the refining materials of Purple Profound Leaf, Moon Ink Flower, and Azure Spirit Thorn Vine. It has a gentle nature, helps enhance the strength of spiritual beasts, and significantly increases the chances of breaking through the spiritual beast\'s rank."
Reading the words on the paper, Regret\'s eyes gradually brightened. According to the description, the effect of the Azure Spirit Liquid was far superior to that of the Condensing Spirit Liquid. However, the subsequent information immediately made him frown.
"It says here that to refine the Azure Spirit Liquid, one needs to be an alchemist, right?"
Regret let out a light sigh, feeling quite helpless. Although the Azure Spirit Liquid was excellent, it was not something he could enjoy. The number of alchemists in Veloria City could be counted on one hand. The Snow family ranked first among the four major families precisely because they had an alchemist of the first rank. The other three families rarely even saw the shadow of an alchemist.
So, Regret now was like someone who owned a treasure trove but couldn\'t open it, making his frustration palpable.
"With the Blaze family\'s power, inviting a first rank alchemist is indeed difficult, but I have another method," Magi the book said with a hint of cunning at the end of his sentence.
"What method?" Hearing this, Regret\'s spirits were lifted.
"You can become an alchemist yourself," Magi the book\'s teasing voice sounded.
As soon as these words were spoken, Regret\'s brow furrowed. While it was easy for Magi the Book to say, becoming an alchemist was no simple task. It required a large number of medicinal herbs to practice with, and without proper guidance, he might not even touch the threshold for years. However, he did possess the fire element spiritual power necessary for alchemy.
"Can you help me?" Regret\'s gaze turned to the floating Magi the Book, though he did not exhibit the excitement and urgency he felt. There are no free lunches in the world, especially when the offer comes from a stranger.
"Of course, but you\'ll have to do some things for me in return," Magi the Book said with a sly smile. Although its expression couldn\'t be seen, Regret could hear the emotional fluctuations in its voice.
"I knew that good things don\'t come easy. Go ahead, but as a spirit master, my abilities are quite limited. Don\'t expect me to do anything too difficult." Regret placed the paper containing the formula for Azure Spirit Liquid on the table, then sat down nonchalantly. As long as Magi the Book needed his help, he wouldn\'t be too passive in this transaction.
"In fact, my body is not entirely complete. The most important eight pages are scattered across the continent. Help me find those pages, and during this time, I will do my best to help you with anything within my capabilities." Magi the Book said eagerly.
"This deal sounds good." Regret\'s gaze flickered for a moment, but he didn\'t immediately agree. Even if the cake looks good, one must have the ability to eat it. With his current strength, he obviously couldn\'t handle it.
Seeing Regret hesitating, Magi the Book\'s hovering body suddenly stopped, and a helpless voice sounded in Regret\'s ear, "You are quite a tough little guy. It seems I can\'t convince you without some leverage. As long as you help me find the missing pages, aside from alchemy, I will also take full responsibility for the cultivation of this little Cat. How about it?"
