The Moon Thief

Chapter 180: Pot

As Heinald read the information written in the sources about Level 3 and Level 4, he understood the value of this information much better. In some of the chapters embedded in this information, he had come across some more information that had piqued his interest quite a bit.

In ancient times, the Ainsars did not follow a single path to reach the higher levels. For example, when they reached the required amount of Spirit Energy to rise to Level 2, instead of cultivating their bodies, they would create a magical puppet and transfer some of their Spirit Energy to it. Thus, they could level up faster without having to think about how to strengthen their bodies. Various methods like this exist for all levels.

He began to read a note written by the Great Ainsar Grildar himself.

"Breakthrough to Level 3 Ainsar is one of the most important points for the Ainsar Path, because you need to determine which type of energy you will be prone to when breakthrough to Level 3..."

Heinald took a short break from reading and muttered, "It means I'll have to choose between Elemental, Dark, or Mystical Energy...I don't know enough about Mystical Energy yet."

Of course, he knew that this was not and would not be the only way to breakthrough to Level 3 Ainsar; however, he did not believe that he would find a guiding resource elsewhere breakthrough to Level 3.

Even if he did, it would probably cost him dearly. So it would be best for him to follow the path shown by this source.

Heinald continued to read.

"When you are prone to the energy type you choose, the magic you apply with that energy type will naturally be stronger and easier than other energies. However, you should know that this process will be very difficult."

Heinald took a deep breath before starting to read the details. Then he began to carefully read everything. Hours later, when he finished reading, he threw himself on his bed and began to think.

Breaking into Level 3 Ainsar was unlike any other process he had experienced. Despite the sea of information in his memory, it was very hard on his mind to analyze concepts and make correct inferences.

He felt that the power in his mind was completely exhausted, on the one hand he had no energy to think about anything, on the other hand he wanted to think.

According to the technique he has acquired, in order to break to Level 3 Ainsar, it is necessary to select an energy type and acquire a predisposition for it. However, the process to be followed in order to achieve this predisposition is very difficult.

According to the Great Ainsar Grildar, the easiest way to obtain the energy predisposition was to obtain the blood extract of a pureblood Magical Beast who was predisposed to that energy type and combine it with your own soul.

However, this process was of course not as short as described. it was very difficult to obtain blood extract and combine it with spirit; it was necessary to make very complex formations and to apply very sensitive operations without errors. Still, finding a pureblood Magical Beast and succeeding in killing it would be much more difficult.

Heinald did not want to continue because his mind was too tired. Over the next few days, he only bothered to analyze the general and detailed information about Level 3 in detail.

In the meantime, the council members came up with various offers to get more information from him, but he stated that he would listen to their offers later, as he was busy.

When he finished analyzing the information about Level 3, he set up another meeting with the council and listened to their offers.

They offered to give him copies of the spells they had in exchange for more rune copies and technical information on formations.

When Heinald saw that the level of these spells was only Medium Rank, he couldn't help but laugh.

"If you want high-level knowledge of runes and formations from me, you should come up with much better offers."

Heinald had dismissed them with a non-offensive sentence. Normally, he would humiliate them if he didn't have the resources he could get from them. However, considering the continuation of offers and exchanges, he managed to control his nerves.

Before leaving this plane, the Great Ainsar Grildar had left some resources for them. It was so farcical to think that such a powerful entity would only have left them Medium Rank spells.

The council members asked him for permission to prepare another proposal until the next day. The next day they sent him an invitation to come to the assembly hall.

When Heinald went to the assembly hall, he saw the five council members sitting as solemnly as ever.

"We've decided to give you the best offer we can make, but we will also ask you for a better offer than your previous offer." When Avnr saw him, he got right to the point.

Heinald nodded, "All right! Let me hear your offer."

"We will deliver you copies of the five spells that Great Ainsar Grildar qualifies as High Rank. However, we will expect an offer of the same value in return." After a pause, Avnr continued, "Three of these spells are Elemental Energy based, and the other two are Dark Energy based.

A quick gleam passed in Heinald's eyes, quite excited, but he didn't show it to them.

Towsak said, "Let me warn you. These spells are quite difficult to learn. If you can't use Dark Energy, you can't use Dark Spells anyway."

"In exchange for these spells, I will give you high-level knowledge of runes and formations. Moreover, as a potion master, I will do research on plants on this plane and give you extensive study records of these plants. If these plants are compatible, I will develop some potion formulas for you."

After thinking for a while, Heinald made his offer.

Although the council members were very excited about this offer, it was obvious that they did not find it sufficient.

Heinald didn't have much to worry about. Kawtils needed whatever higher level knowledge they could get from him. If they wanted to achieve victory over the Ulltemols, they had no choice but to rely on the knowledge he had.

Their biggest disadvantage was that they did not have the opportunity to develop their knowledge resources. The reason for this was quite obvious: This plane was small and it was impossible to find various studies and resources. Therefore, although they had inherited very important information from a great Ainsar, they could not develop and use it for themselves. As it is understood, they were quite poor in terms of knowledge.

Most likely, they did their Spirit Cultivation thanks to some important resources and various underground resources left by Ainsar Grildar.

"There's one more thing we want from you." Avnr said.

Heinald asked, "What is it?"

"Detailed description of how you got here." Avnr said.

Heinald gaily laughed and said, "You should increase your bid for this information."

Towsak said, "But we've already provided you with the highest rank spells we have."

"I'm sure there are other things you have too." Heinald remained calm and began to observe them.

"Other than that, the only thing we can offer you is our Protection Formation. However, such an offer is out of the question." Avnr said.

"Then you should consider my latest offer." Heinald said.

The council members had to accept the offer after some time to consider among themselves. After all, the information they would get would be very important to them. The information about the runes and formations he gave would allow them to secure various regions. Of course, if they can find a source of energy sufficient to activate those formations.

Moreover, Heinald would analyze various plants for them, and if they were compatible plants, he would create potion formulas from them.

Time began to pass quickly.

Heinald wrote down some of the high-level knowledge and many runes he knew for them, and began experimenting with the plants brought to him.

He explained and noted the effects of the Kawtils one by one after various experiments on various plant species they had collected from different parts of the plane.

Although these plants were different in appearance, they were similar plants in the Ainsar World in effect, and frankly, they were all very mediocre.

Heinald was able to develop only three potion formulas after experimenting with all the plants.

One of these potion formulas prevented blood loss for five minutes. However, since the purity of this potion was very low, the body developed immunity to this potion very quickly. Moreover, after using it, it caused a two-day loss of strength as a side effect.

Another potion increased his movement speed by 5% for ten minutes. The purity of this potion was also quite low.

The final potion was a kind of antidote. It could be used to destroy low-level poisons. The purity of this potion was the lowest among them, according to his calculations, with just one use, the body would develop immunity to this potion.
