He raised his hand and looked at his own arm. It seemed unchanged, but it now contained the Time Rule and Spatial Rules.
Herag sensed it, but didn't feel anything particularly vivid.
This was also his first encounter with a situation where rules were fused into the body, with no other references to consult, so he could only rely on himself to figure it out slowly.
After Herag fused the Time Rule, Shenlan also nearly completed the optimization work for a series of Magic Potion formulas.
He took out a stack of parchment and recorded the optimization results for each Magic Potion formula.
Next, comes the tedious verification process. Herag needs to practice Alchemy for each Magic Potion to see its actual effects.
Herag, carrying a thick stack of parchment, went to the laboratory to begin practicing Alchemy.
These were mostly common Magic Potions he was already familiar with, ones he could complete with his eyes closed.
Practicing these Magic Potions was indeed simple, but it also required time, which was somewhat unrelated to proficiency.
Being proficient meant being faster, but the actual crafting time didn't significantly decrease.
It took Herag nearly half a month to verify all of these dozen or so Magic Potion formulas.
These formulas generally covered the vast majority of common Magic Potions, which most Wizards would frequently use.
The ones Herag currently opted for were Magic Potions with higher demand, leaving out those less frequently used for the time being.
Some higher-end Magic Potions were also slated for later plans.
Herag sorted through these things, then took out a Talisman Stone to contact Vernon.
Vernon was the president of the Nightingale Commerce Association, and Magic Potion trades were one of their major businesses, spreading throughout the Land of Dawn.
Since securing the Nightingale Commerce Association's channels, purchasing Magic Potion Materials had become much cheaper, with rare materials more accessible.
After contacting Vernon to clarify his intent, Herag then immediately contacted Pries and David.
Once they confirmed a time and place, Herag, accompanied by Reese, arrived at the Avila Restaurant.
Herag booked a luxurious private room, quietly awaiting their arrival.
The first to arrive were Vernon and Baron. Merchants are always the most enthusiastic when it comes to earning money.
Mr. Baron, being part of the Magic Pharmacist Association and a long-time friend of both Vernon and Herag, came to represent the Magic Pharmacist Association.
Pries arrived shortly thereafter, being the last, representing the interests from Silver Moon City.
Herag took out the rolled-up stack of parchment and said, "These are some improved formulas I've recently developed. Each formula's effectiveness can enhance by about 10% to 40% compared to before, and costs can be reduced by 5% to 15%."
"The specific effects can be verified by Mr. Baron and have the Magic Pharmacist Association provide a certification."
Vernon smiled and said, "I don't doubt Mr. Herag's capability at all. If we can launch this batch of Magic Potions, it will surely capture a significant market share. With our capabilities, we can indeed promote it widely."
Vernon was confident in this matter. His network and contacts were extensive, spread across the entire Land of Dawn.
The launch of such cost-effective and more effective Magic Potions would certainly rapidly capture the market.
Even other Magic Potion Merchants wanting to instigate a price war would inevitably end up at a loss, unable to outlast them.
Herag said, "Next, let's discuss the matter of profit distribution."
The issue of profit distribution from the start should be clearly articulated with black and white text to prevent future conflicts over interests.
Pries glanced at everyone and laughed, "I'm just here to sign my name. Herag is also one of our own; you can decide the profit distribution amongst yourselves. There are no special requirements from above, just a token gesture."
Pries's message was clear: Serlandir didn't have many demands concerning these profits, essentially offering some support to Herag.
Herag and the others discussed it and eventually settled on a plan.
Herag would take 40%, Serlandir 10%, with the Nightingale Commerce Association and Cheqi Family each taking 25%.
"That's... isn't that too much? We shouldn't need that much," David seemed a bit embarrassed.
David felt that the Cheqi Family was merely a small family in the Barren Land, holding no weight in the Land of Dawn. Thus, taking a 25% share felt excessive.
Herag laughed, "Not at all. Once trade between the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land opens up, the Cheqi Family will be a crucial link. The Cheqi Family boasts a mature, complete commercial system in the Barren Land. By then, cooperating with you will lead to many things being twice as effective with half the effort."
The Cheqi Family was already running a Magic Potion business in the Barren Land, a key part of the subsequent process.
Herag intended to help the Cheqi Family; it was high time to repay their long-standing relationship.
He personally wasn't heavily invested in these profits and would rather take less to save himself the trouble.
The more you take, the more work you have to do, requiring more effort to manage these issues.
Herag merely saw this as a means to make money, opting not to spend too much energy on it.
A few hours later, everything was settled without any objections from anyone.
Vernon also had no dissent because Herag was the most crucial person in the equation.
Even if the Nightingale Commerce Association didn't agree, Herag could easily turn to another association, leaving the Nightingale Commerce Association in an awkward position.
Vernon was well aware of this and held Herag in high regard.
In terms of long-term interests, maintaining a good relationship was undoubtedly the optimal choice and the best investment.
Herag intended to hand the matters over to David and Vernon afterward. With Herag around, Vernon wouldn't rip off the Cheqi Family.
Moreover, with Reese supervising, there was no fear of David being cheated.
With the years of experience in the commerce association, David was indeed honing his capabilities, at least being competent enough to handle his affairs.
Herag and the others laid out the cooperation details in black and white. Serlandir would act as one of the notaries, imprinting their seal on it.
With Serlandir's endorsement, the contract's validity was significantly fortified.
…
After a few days of busy work, Herag finally had some downtime.
These Magic Potion formulas were indeed as Herag described after being certified by the Magic Pharmacist Association, who issued the proofs.
Given that the Magic Pharmacist Association inherently deals with Magic Potion formula verification, confidentiality was ensured, offering a certain authority.
Vernon's side immediately commenced related operations, mobilizing his Alchemists to start mass-producing Magic Potions for the subsequent market promotion.
