Cursed Immortality

"This Titan Tears!? Explain how you come in contact with it and where is the recipe?!"

Jacob's reaction was only natural because this one small drop had made his hunger subdue by five percent, and it wasn't temporary either. He could feel the strength of his body increase.

He clearly remembered Immortika told him that he required an exorbitant amount of aliment, but it never said it would have to be from the flesh.

Although he knew he might find some other sources like special fruits, plants, or herbs in the rare region. But he never expected to find this so-called elixir, and it would be even more potent than a rarer species' meat.

He only tested it because he was curious when he heard the Pine Orc's description and effect of these Titan Tears. Furthermore, he could tell these titan tears were probably the same elixir Jerry was talking about.

So, he wanted to see why these guys had taken such a risk just to make these titan tears, and now he understands.

The Pine Orc didn't want to tell his biggest secret to Jacob, but since he was enslaved, he had no choice in this matter.

He told, "I belong to the Potion Alchemy Guild in the rare region and Jerry privately approached me 12 years ago. He had this map of a Ruin, and he required an Intermediate Potion Alchemist's assistance, so I agree.

"At that time, I didn't know Jerry had stolen that old map from the Hobgoblin Clan and a secret organization. I don't know their name, and Jerry always kept it to himself.

"But when we reached that ruin and found a metal box. In that box was an old box called 'Titan Tears'. It was a set of Elixir Formula from Uncommon Grade to Epic Grade.

"As I said before, it was an ancient elixir that could help any species break something called 'Bloodline Limiter', and breaking through the fable Epic Rank was also a possibility as long as we could concoct the Epic Grade Titan Tears.

"However, just the ingredients required for the low-rare-grade Titan Tears were almost impossible to gather, much less the Epic Grade. Nevertheless, just the uncommon grade titan tears were enough to raise our strength at the peak of rarer species.

"But before we could celebrate, we were ambushed by both the Hobgoblin Clan and that secret organization. They somehow tracked Jerry down and were waiting for him to find that box before taking it from him.

"However, Jerry was also prepared, and he used an extremely rare Black Poison Bomb and killed everyone. If he hadn't given me the antidote, I would've also been dead.

"But he required an Intermediate Potion Alchemist to make this elixir for him, and it also ties us together from then on. Albeit, it was worth being a fugitive with Jerry for this elixir.

"Yet, we still underestimated that secret organization. They somehow found out that we were buying the titan iron in secret, and tracked us down again. But because of the increase in Jerry's strength after taking the elixir, we had a close shaved that time, and directly escaped to the uncommon dark city and lie low for five years.

"Only after making sure there wasn't anyone chasing us did we surface again, but didn't dare to leave the dark city anymore…"

Jacob stopped him at this moment. "Alright, I didn't want your entire adventure story. Where is this formula right now?"

Gritting his teeth, the Pin Orc unwillingly spoke, "To not draw any unwanted attention, Jerry opened the pawn shop while I became a potion maker at the potion tower. We only contact each other when Titan Tears were involved, and the formula is in my workshop."

Jacob's eyes shimmered sharply. 'This is simply a windfall for me. If I could make the Titan Tears in large batches, I could make progress without being worried about any consequences!

'Maybe there are more such potions in the Potion Alchemy Guild. Decker also wrote there were many Alchemy Formulas. They were top secrets of his Apothecary Alchemy Guild, and even he didn't dare to write them in his journal!'

Jacob never thought he would take such a keen interest in this alchemy all of a sudden. There were many branches of this Alchemy Guild, and it was hard to tell which one was the most prominent.

Jacob sharply looked at the listless Pine Orc and said, "We'll be leaving for the dark city the moment the rain stops. You'll fetch this Titan Tears formula for me, and since you're a potion alchemist, you would be quite rich. I want everything in your name into my account and any gold you have in stash. Also, pack your staff and move to Jerry's shop. You're going to work for me like a good little slave there."

"YOU DEVIL!" Pine Orc felt his heart going to explode when he heard this and almost lunged at Jacob.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Steele down." Jacob coldly ordered, and Pine Orc was glued to his place with an expressionless face while his eyes were bloodshot.

Then Jacob looked at Mr. Observer, who was silently listening with an ashen expression.

He questioned sharply, "How many assets does Jerry have?"

Mr. Observer was the same as the Pine Orc. He replied without hiding anything, "The Jerry Pawn Shop and all the things within. There is a secret safe on the top floor where he keeps his money, and the deed of the shop is also there.

"As for his bank account, I have no idea. But his information would be saved in the Zodiac Money Transfer Device in that safe as well. If you have his fingerprint and blood, you can transfer all the wealth to your account."

Jacob's eyes shimmered with a hint of delight. It was the real reason he spared these two.

He knew Jerry was extremely rich in the dark city, It would've been a waste to leave his wealth like this. He needed money, and Mr. Observer should know where Jerry kept all his wealth since he was his slave.

As for the Pine Orc, he didn't know what relation he had with Jerry, but since his strength was also A rank; he didn't want to kill him and wanted to see if he could reap more benefits as well as find the secret of the titan iron.

Now, he was extremely glad he spared these two, or he might never know about the Titan Tears Formula and its miraculous effects.

"We'll do as you suggest. When we returned, start selling everything in the shop and clean the warehouse and logs. How much time will it take?" Jacob asked.

He wasn't interested in taking over Jerry's business since it would be too cumbersome, and he had other plans for now after knowing about the titan tears.

Mr. Observer pondered for a moment before he answered, "If we bought nothing and sold all the reserves, it would only take 5 or 6 months since we have many buyers. But we can also sell everything to other stores around us. It will take less time, but the profit won't be much."

Jacob thought for a moment, "I'm giving you seven months to clean the entire warehouse. Except for the staff remuneration, everything will go into my account. Your saving included. Do you understand?"

Mr. Observer felt his heart shattered when he heard the last part and listlessly nodded.

Jacob again looked at the Pine Orc who seemed to have lost his soul, and smiled coldly, "How much uncommon titan iron do you need to make one drop of Titan Tears?"

He replied listlessly, "As the main ingredient of the Titan Tears, the final quantity depends on the titan iron's purity. Like the titan iron, you sold Jerry. I could make only two Tier-3 Titan Tears Drops with 3000 grams of titan iron with 89% purity."

"What is this tier-3 about?" Jacob's eyes narrowed.

"There are three tiers of purity recorded in the book. Tier-1 Uncommon Titan Tears are made with 10% to 30% pure Titan Iron. Tier-2 with 31% to 70% purity and Tier-3 with 70% to 90%.

"There is another tier called Perfect-Tier, but it was a mere theory since we required something called Titan Iron Essence, which had purity above 90%. I never even heard of such material."

Jacob thought for a moment before he chuckled, "Since you never saw it, this doesn't mean it didn't exist. Nonetheless, I have over 120KG Titan Iron, and I need you to turn it into the titan tears while teaching me the entire process."

"So much? Where do you get it from?" Pine Orc couldn't help but questioned when he heard the titan iron amount.

Jacob thought for a moment and replied with a subtle smile, "You don't need to know this. Now, let's shut up and let me eat."

Without caring about the Pine Orc or Mr. Observer's appalled expression, he tore the crispy leg of the bronze goblin, and starts eating it!
