Blake picked up a piece from the box and examined its quality, a smile appearing on his face.

He then proceeded to inspect each High-level Healing Potion, and afterwards, he raised his head and said, "Very good, it's really hard to believe that this is your first time crafting High-level Healing Potions. Seems like I can confidently assign you order tasks in the future."

"As long as Mr. Blake is satisfied." Herag showed a look of relief.

Blake laughed, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. From what I see, you're already a very qualified Alchemist."

Although the ratio of high-quality potions in Herag's batch was not high, considering it was his first time refining High-level Healing Potions, reaching this level was already not easy.

Moreover, even at this current level, he could be considered a certified Alchemist.

"You can split this order into three hundred and fifty Magic Stones, which will be combined with next month's salary and issued together," Blake said.

Herag's monthly salary was one hundred Magic Stones, so this order alone was worth more than three months of salary.

After this day, Blake officially regarded Herag as an Alchemist, occasionally assigning some orders to him.

These orders were almost all High-Level Magic Potions, and in the process of completing them, Herag not only familiarized himself with various potion crafting processes but also earned a lot of Magic Stones.

He gradually controlled the quality of his output, and as time went by, the quality of the potions he crafted improved, making Blake value him even more.

Soon, a year had passed.

Herag held a bottle of blue potion, poured a little into a glass of water, and the plain water quickly turned blue.

He picked up the glass of blue water and drank it, then began to meditate.

"Herag Merlin: Power 18, Agility 18, Constitution 19, Spirit 46, Magic Power 100%."

In this year's time, he completed a three-star meditation, with only two points left in the second array map.

He took time to complete the improved optimization experiment of the Starry Sky Potion, removing the Demon Flower ingredient and replacing it with an insect called the Three-star Insect.

After adding this insect, the Advanced Starry Sky Potion was a success, enabling Herag's meditation speed to reach completing a star in three to four months.

However, the cost of the Three-star Insect was relatively high, and it was not available in Black Rock Valley, so he had to purchase it individually through the Cheqi Family's channels.

The cost of one Advanced Starry Sky Potion was fifty Magic Stones, and one could be used ten times, which required one hundred and fifty Magic Stones per month.

Herag's monthly salary was only one hundred Magic Stones, and if it weren't for the extra income from orders, he wouldn't be able to afford the Advanced Starry Sky Potion.

Fortunately, after Herag's potion crafting skills were recognized, he received more orders, greatly increasing his income to support the expenses for the Advanced Starry Sky Potion.

"Four thousand one hundred Magic Stones."

Herag estimated that after accumulating for a year, this was his total value, a considerable fortune.

Over the past year, with Herag's help, the overall yield of the Magic Potion Field improved by about 20%.

This made Blake value Herag even more, applying to the family to increase Herag's salary from one hundred Magic Stones to two hundred Magic Stones.

On Herag's finger, aside from the Space Ring given by Lillian and the Blessing Ring of the Wind Elf, there was one more ring.

This ring was embedded with a Ruby, with an internal space as large as a football field.

This was his reward from the Cheqi Family after working in Black Rock Valley for a year.

Such a Space Ring with such a large space is priceless on the market, basically sold as soon as it appears.

In the past year, Herag's Space Ring had accumulated various potion reserves of all types, nearly filling the original Space Ring.

With the ring rewarded by the Cheqi Family, the space immediately felt abundant.

He placed all the potions into the new ring, neatly and categorically stored.

The value of just this pile of potions was estimated to be over ten thousand Magic Stones, all stored by Herag for his own use.

The plane coordinate imprint in his palm still didn't have enough energy, so he couldn't travel to the Abyss Plane yet.

After a busy year, Herag was ready to start another matter: the selection and absorption of Bloodline Power.

Currently, he only had the Bloodline Power of the Thunder God Ancestor.

Herag had also experimented with capturing small animals to conduct bloodline experiments, finding that the Great Dark Heaven remained indifferent to the bloodlines of these small animals, with no reaction at all.

He subsequently learned that not all animals have Bloodline Power; most animals do not carry such heritage in their blood.

In other words, to have Bloodline Power, one must be inherently a powerful creature, like demons.

"Looks like I'll have to trouble Blake," Herag pondered.

While staying in Black Rock Valley, he could only obtain the flesh of demons through the channels of the Cheqi Family.

...

In Blake's garden.

"Demons? What type do you need?" Blake asked.

Herag replied, "Any kind of demon will do. The stronger, the better. I want to conduct some experiments and need the flesh of powerful demons."

Blake nodded, "Got it, I'll keep an eye out for you, and will let you know if there's any news."

It's normal for wizards to experiment with demon flesh, especially for Alchemists, who often need to study the effects of various materials to research potion formulas.

These materials, apart from herbs, naturally include demon flesh.

Blake didn't think much of it and just noted it down.

He immediately took out a piece of paper, wrote some information on it, and then chanted a few syllables. A Hexagram Array appeared in front of him, and a little elf with six wings was summoned.

Blake took out a Magic Stone, placed it in front of the little elf, and said, "Send the letter to Bartolomeo Cheqi."

The little elf had a delicate face, tilted its head to glance at Blake, and then instantly stashed away the large Magic Stone in its arms.

She then took the letter and held it in her arms, disappearing back into the Hexagram Array.

"Is that the Cheqi Family's messenger?" Herag asked with curiosity, seeing Blake sending a letter in front of him for the first time.

"Yes, a very cute little fellow. Oh, she's older than me, haha," Blake chuckled dryly.

Messengers are a method of communication between wizards, through contracting with certain creatures, and then paying a certain cost each time to have them deliver letters or items for you.

The cost might be a Gold Coin or a Magic Stone; Herag had also heard of a messenger requiring a fingernail piece each time.

Herag always envied such messengers but unfortunately had no way to obtain one.

He still relied on Talisman Stones to communicate with others, hanging this Talisman Stone under the Cheqi Family's name.

Every Talisman Stone used outside the Wizard Organization needed to be registered at Augustus Academy to connect to the Magic Net.

Talisman Stones could only be used in areas covered by the Magic Net, whereas messengers ignored distances.

There're very few creatures capable of serving as messengers, and those with such capabilities wouldn't contract with a weak wizard like him.

This little elf has a contract with the entire Cheqi Family.
