[Earth Breathing Technique: LV6 (347/2300)]

Due to only having two and a half hours each day to spend on the Earth Breathing Technique, it hasn't reached the maximum level yet, only reaching the sixth layer.

As Duke had expected, his practice of the Earth Breathing Technique did not bring any significant improvements to his physical attributes.

His current Basic Attributes have all surpassed fifteen points, so ordinary breathing techniques no longer provide any attribute enhancements.

Now, he can only hope that reaching the maximum level of the Earth Breathing Technique will unlock a Talent, which would be worthwhile.

However, before maxing out the Earth Breathing Technique, Duke first maxed out Basic Magic Recovery Potion and Starlight Meditation Potion.

[Basic Magic Recovery Potion: LV5]

[Starlight Meditation Potion: LV5 (Trait: Meditation Enhancement)]

[Meditation Enhancement: The crafted Starlight Meditation Potions have stronger meditation assistance effects]

After maxing out the Basic Magic Recovery Potion, he only gained one free attribute point, without unlocking any traits.

Duke wasn't surprised by this, as the Basic Magic Recovery Potion is too simple, and the absence of traits was expected.

He still gained a lot during the process of maxing out the Basic Magic Recovery Potion, accumulating a wealth of related knowledge.

This knowledge isn't reflected on the Skill Tree; it just accumulated within Duke.

However, upon maxing out the Starlight Meditation Potion, a trait appeared, which surprised him.

Duke had first maxed out the Basic Magic Recovery Potion, followed by the Starlight Meditation Potion.

He originally thought the Starlight Meditation Potion wouldn't have any traits either, but it gained the Meditation Enhancement trait.

After obtaining this trait, all Starlight Meditation Potions he crafts will have enhanced meditation effects.

He personally tested it; previously, one instance of meditation increased proficiency by three points, but now it directly rises to five points.

This increase is quite substantial and impressive.

Duke brought this batch of Starlight Meditation Potions, with traits, to the Giant Rock Magic Potion Shop, where he met Harrison.

"You mean you've made some improvements to the recipe, and the effect has greatly increased?" Harrison was curious after hearing Duke's explanation.

Recently, Harrison had been purchasing a lot of Starlight Meditation Potions from Duke, and they were selling exceptionally well, in constant demand.

The customers he connected with were naturally individuals from Wizard Clans, as only those from such backgrounds could afford meditation-assisting potions.

After trying Duke's Starlight Meditation Potions, none wanted to revert to the old ones since the effect was significantly superior.

For these members of Wizard Clans, what they lack is not money, but good potions.

There are more advanced meditation-assisting potions, but those are reserved for Official Wizards and would do more harm than good for Wizard Apprentices.

Harrison frequently received requests urging him to sell more of the improved Starlight Meditation Potions.

However, Duke was the only one crafting the improved Starlight Meditation Potions. His magic power was limited, and thus production was low, far from meeting demand.

Harrison had mentioned purchasing the recipe several times, even raising the price to ten thousand mana stones.

Yet, Duke never sold the recipe, especially after learning it was revised by Hela's mentor, making him wary of any potential repercussions.

If Hela were to get angry over this, Duke knew the consequences wouldn't just be about money; it would escalate to greater problems.

Upon Duke's arrival with the trait-possessing Starlight Meditation Potions, Harrison took it seriously, immediately conducting checks and tests.

After testing, Harrison was incredulous, finding it hard to believe that such effects could arise from merely a Secondary Potion.

Such meditation assistance effects were nearly the best among Secondary Potions, or rather, the best Harrison had seen.

The next level would be Level 1 Potions, which surpasses the scope of Secondary Potions.

"Are you really not considering selling the recipe? I can request approval to sign a contract with a profit-sharing arrangement," Harrison said earnestly.

Duke was somewhat surprised to hear that; it wasn't just any ordinary contract.

A profit-sharing arrangement meant that regardless of how many Starlight Meditation Potions the Giant Rock Commerce Association sold, Duke would receive a portion of the revenue.

Even if that fraction was only one-thousandth, it would still amount to a vast wealth, at least by Duke's current standards.

Duke realized that Harrison valued not only the potion itself but more so Duke's talents.

In Harrison's eyes, an alchemist like Duke, who possessed the ability to research and improve, was the most precious kind.

Most alchemists merely follow instructions, crafting potions based on given Magic Potion Recipes, with poor development and improvement skills.

For a Commerce Association like the Giant Rock, an alchemist like Duke was a genuine asset, symbolizing unlimited possibilities.

As long as they hold exclusive production rights over some powerful potion, they could quickly amass substantial wealth through their channels.

Yet, Duke found himself in a bind; even if he wanted to sell the recipe, he couldn't.

The trait of the Starlight Meditation Potion was such that only potions crafted by himself could have the effect, a unique advantage provided by the Skill Tree that couldn't be transferred to others.

"What's your recipe?"

"My recipe requires that I personally do the crafting."

Duke couldn't help but chuckle at his situation; it accurately reflected his current reality.

Harrison's intent in purchasing the recipe was to enable numerous alchemists within the Commerce Association to craft the potion. If the recipe required Duke's hand alone, selling it would be pointless.

No amount of personal effort, even if he worked non-stop for 24 hours, would suffice to produce many potions.

Ultimately, Duke had to diplomatically refuse Harrison's request, unable to sell the recipe.

Though somewhat regretful, Harrison bore no grudge; on the contrary, he held Duke in even higher esteem.

After all, Duke was merely a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice now, with a long road ahead and numerous opportunities for collaboration in the future.

"This version of Starlight Meditation Potion can be priced at two hundred mana stones," Harrison suggested.

Duke had no objection, and the deal was soon sealed.

Typically, a Starlight Meditation Potion was priced at a hundred mana stones; thus, this was double.

However, those who could afford such potions likely didn't mind whether it was a hundred or two hundred mana stones.

Duke counted the mana stones in his Space Ring, finding over three thousand mana stones, which for a regular Wizard Apprentice, was a fortune.
