Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Angel sat on one side of the stool to rest for a while before he recovering from the pain of the mental force test.
Angel took the Cold Night Potion out of his pocket and wondered if he should drink it right now.
Even though Cold Night Potion is a primary medicine, the production process is more difficult than an intermediate medicine because the materials required are more precious. Wizards who study alchemy still easily fail in the production of Cold Night Potion. Only first-class alchemists such as “Mithril Shaper” Jailall have a good success rate in production. Because of the difficulty in acquiring materials and production, Cold Night Potion, even at the Sky Auction Hall, is still very rare.
By this time, Sanders had stopped writing, and by chance, he saw Angel twist the cap of the potion bottle, smelled the cool air coming out it which caused him to make a tangled expression on his face as he said.
“Cold Night Potion can increase the mental force limit by 2 points, but it is actually a potion for overdrawing mental force potential. I advise you not to take it for the time being. Of course, if you think your mental force value can never improve anymore, it won’t hurt to take this bottle of medicine.” Sanders said casually. “I certainly won’t get in your way, but if you do think that you’re likely able to raise your mental force value again, leave it to take at a later time.”
Once potential is overdrawn, even if one encounters opportunities to increase mental force value again in the future, one will not be able to improve it anymore because the potential has been exhausted. However, an opportunity to improve mental force value is rare, and for 90% of mortals, Cold Night Potion is usually taken directly.
Wait, so Cold Night Potion is a potion for overdrafting mental potential? This is the first time that Angel has ever heard about the Cold Night Potion Side Effects. In the books, it is introduced as increasing the upper limit of mental force value by 2 points only for one time, it was never explained where the increase in upper limit had come from. It turns out that the increase is the result from overdrafting mental potential.
After Angel heard Sanders warning, the wall guarded by the Demon Eater Flowers came to mind.
If Angel had owned the Cold Night Potion before Sanders took him into the Nightmare Plane, nothing would have stopped him from taking it. But at the thought of that magical wall in the Nightmare Plane, the warning could not help but dissuade Angel from drinking it. If that wall can really continue improving his mental force value, then taking the Cold Night Potion right now and overdrafting his future potential is not worth the future loss of mental force.
Angel hid a lot of information about the magical wall, such as the lines on the wall and the fact that… he had recorded it with the Holographic Tablet. …
Angel almost forgot one more important detail when he thought of the Holographic Tablet. He was supposed to have brought nothing in with him when going into the Nightmare Plane during his soul state, but he didn’t know how, he was able to record videos and photos on the Holographic Tablet from the Nightmare Plane.
If the recordings were not successfully preserved, then Angel will certainly be in distress for a long time. Not to mention the pattern on the wall, but the recordings of parchments and books found in the Hanging Prison Stairs made him very reluctant to give up all those hidden alchemy books in the warden’s secret passage at the prison.
Angel decided to turn on the Holographic Tablet as soon as he got back to his room to confirm whether the videos were successfully recorded or not!
Since Sanders is trying to dissuade him, Angel will not insist on going his own way, and accept the advice to put away the Cold Night Potion for later. He is not going to drink this bottle of potion for the time being, and if possible, he would like to have an opportunity to give it to his brother, Leon. With this bottle of potion, Leon will be able to raise his Mental Force value to 10, and then the Pat family will have two extraordinary people. At that point, he believes his family’s rights in the Canary Empire will also increase a lot!
After putting away the Cold Night Potion, Angel respectfully stood in front of Sanders and asks.
“I wonder why mentor has called me here?”
Sanders responds: “Have you started your meditation yet?”
Angel shook his head and said shyly, “I was so tired yesterday that I directly fell asleep when I got back. I didn’t get a chance to start before getting up. ”
“I’m glad you didn’t.” Sanders handed a journal on the table to Angel: “Here are some of my thoughts on the guidance method as well as some of the things you need to pay extra attention to when practicing this guidance method. Take it, you can use it as a reference when you begin practicing this guidance method.”
Angel took the journal, quickly glanced at it, and saw that there were countless amounts of small notes around the title, they looked like flies buzzing around the words < Singularity Scattering Meditation > that he had written in silence. All these notes were based on Sanders own experience in spiritual practice.
He had only glanced at a small part, but he could see the value of these experiences! With these notes, Angel believes that if he practices based on these notes, he will definitely be able to take a lot of detours!
Angel excitedly thanked Sanders, who then waved at him.
“As your Mentor, I want you to go further on your path.” Sanders paused: “These lessons are nothing compared to the guidance method you brought back to me. You know, the value of this guidance method and with the Wizard Plane’s principle of equivalent exchange when you handed it to me, with that, I can grant you one wish for it.”
“I couldn’t have known about this guidance method without mentor, and I couldn’t have gone to Nightfall City without mentor as well. Even if we use the principle of equivalent exchange, mentor’s information is part of the deal, plus I can get mentor’s teachings from before, so there is no need for mentor to pay anymore.” Angel said very sincerely, at first when he entered the door to worship Sanders, at that time, he actually had some apprehensions, now knowing why he was accepted as an apprentice, his knot has been solved, and for this mentor, he also began to formally accept him as a true mentor.
Heaven, Earth, King, Parents, Teacher. Jon’s education over the years has not only enabled him to understand the local culture, but also absorbed the essence of the Earth’s exotic plane culture. Whether it is an exotic plane, or in this world, the word “Teacher” is still very respected. Therefore, once Angel really regards Sanders with the attitude of a respected mentor, he will naturally follow through.
“Are you sure you don’t need a wish? For example, you can ask me to save your first mentor, and I will not say no.” Sanders repeated again.
Angel was stupefied, Sanders proposal made him very moved, if Sanders really gave a shot to save Jon, he will certainly be able to get treatment quickly… … but Angel also remembers Jon’s other identity—he’s a time and space traveler, once Sanders learns of Jon’s identity, how will he react? Angel himself does not know, but in terms of the Wizard Plane’s attitude towards the exotic plane creatures, the outcome will not turn out very good.
So thinking in these terms, Angel still decided to seize the time to improve his own strength, which is the most important task at hand, and only by saving Jon himself, will he not reveal Jon’s secret.
Angel once again rejected Sanders offer. Sanders smiled and nodded while saying no more, and saw the look of determination in Angel’s eyes, which deeply satisfied him.
Over time, Sanders talked to Angel about some matters that need his attention in his spiritual practice, and continued talking more about topics regarding the Nightmare Plane, of which he was especially interested in Angel’s experience at the Demon Eater Flower Tunnel. Angel repeated his story several times, almost blurting out the word “flashlight” near the end.
As he was leaving, Sanders pointed to something on the other side of the bar table: “When you leave, take those paintings with you.”
As he looked in the direction where Sanders pointed at, Angel saw two paintings on the tabletop which he had brought back from the Nightmare Plane.
Both paintings stood out, and one can very clearly see the subjects at a glance. Angel subconsciously focused on the < Shepherd Milking on the Prairie Painting > which still looked very ordinary, there does not seem to be anything out of place.
“Later, if there is a recording on the Holographic Tablet, he will confirm whether there is anything wrong with the painting.” Angel said in his heart.
