Journey Of A Legend - Chapter 203

When Juan heard that Greg was taught to create such a potion, he didn’t want to believe it. It was simply way too shocking.

Because he came from a family which specialized in creating high-quality herbs, medicine, and potions, Juan was utterly shocked to find out this news. To think that there was someone out there who was able to make a powerful potion all alone and call it just a ‘Beginner Potion’, made Juan want to meet with that someone.

But of course, it was not a surprise that Juan was so stunned. Because the Alchemist Family created their potions from materials from the close proximity of their territory, it was only natural they didn’t have knowledge about the Spirit Grass, which was the basic element of the potion.

As Juan looked at the potion in Greg’s hand in silence, the others walked over slowly to them from the distance.

“Are you alright? Is there somewhere you feel hurt, because if yes I can give you a potion if… Huh? Why are you intact?”, asked Sandra with confusion as she crouched down next to Juan.

Because she saw just how powerful Greg was, she thought Juan sustained grave injuries, so she wanted to help. However, now that she sees him from a closer look, she noticed that Juan had no wounds at all. Not even a small scratch.

Seeing Sandra’s confused expression, Juan shook his head gently, and after standing up he looked at Greg.

“It seems I have lost this bargain. However, if it would have been a real one on one fight, you wouldn’t have stood a chance.”, said Juan calmly and after thinking for a while he pointed at the potion in Greg’s hand and asked, “How much do you want for that potions recipe?”

Greg hearing this smiled and said, “I would gladly give the recipe to you for free, but because it was not invented by me, it would be rude for me to say the making process of it.”

When Juan heard this he nodded and said, “I thought so. Then can you take me to the one who made it? I would like to talk with him.”

Greg the moment he heard this looked a bit troubled because he still didn’t know where Russ and Wayne had gone. Because they told him it would take quite a while to repair the Passage to The Unknown, it was unspecified when those two would appear again.

Knowing this, Greg smiled wryly and said, “To be honest, I don’t know where he is right at the moment. When I last saw him he told me he needs an important matter to do, so since then I didn’t meet with him.”

As Juan heard what Greg said, crossed his arms before his chest and looked quite troubled. Because he knew that if he could make that mysterious man to teach them how to create that potion, he was 100% sure that the Alchemist Family’s power and influence would skyrocket without hesitation.

But hearing that even Greg wasn’t able to find out where that man went, he felt a bit troubled.

“I need to get my hand on that recipe no matter what.”, mumbled Juan quietly, and after a small while he said, “Then I will leave this matter to you. Here. If you meet with him ever again give this badge to him and tell him to come to our family’s mansion. We will wait for him.”

When Greg took over the badge from Juan nodded and said, “I will, but I can’t promise that he will go. I know his personality and he can be no caring sometimes.”

“I see. Then I will hope for the best and he decides to come.”, said Juan, and after looking at the twins on his side he sighed and said, “But unfortunately, it seems we need to go. We still have to buy the materials we have been ordered.”

Turning to look at Greg and Joe, he grinned and said, “It was a great surprise to see just how strong both of you became. I hope we can fight again when all three of us reach the God rank in the future.”

When Sandra heard what Juan said on the side, she rolled her eyes and said, “Sure, sure, you will. Ha… Is there anything else inside that thick skull of yours which is not associated with fighting but related with something else?”

“…”

Glancing at Sandra on the side, Juan stayed silent, not knowing at all how to reply to that question.

***

Time went on, and after Juan and the twins went away, Greg and the others spent some time together in Mythbreak.

Naturally, Greg didn’t forget to make a connection between his first two flows, however, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make the layer at the other 24 points to connect. They simply didn’t want to move at all.

And because Greg didn’t want to waste his small amount of High-class energy crystals which he obtained from the treasure room from back the underground maze, he decided to buy Low-class ones.

Luckily in Mythbreak, there were a dozen of shops that sold energy crystals, so buying several amounts was not a problem. The only problem was the money.

Because he had close to bill money, Greg decided to sell a few of his basic potions which he made in the Forbidden Lands on the market.

After few hours of bargaining, Greg was able to collect enough amount of coins, letting him to buy at least 500 Low-class energy crystals from Creator ranked creatures.

Because Alice said him that it didn’t matter at all what kind of energy crystals he consumed, Greg decided to buy the most from the lowest class crystals.

And because Mythbreak was the capital and one of the busiest cities, the lowest quality crystal Greg was able to buy were exactly those.

Just simple Low-class energy crystals from Creator ranked creatures.

After he did that, Greg didn’t notice at all, but the time for him to leave Mythbreak again came.

Eliana with Zane and Cloud came to find him, telling him it was time.

“Let’s go.”, said Eliana to Greg, who was currently eating in a restaurant with his friends peacefully.

Knowing it was time for them to go to the rumored ruins where everyone became old, Greg stood up and glances at Joe and the others.

After thinking for a while, Greg wanted to ask the three experts if his friends could come or not, when suddenly Jay appeared on their side out of nowhere and said, “I have found it!”

“?!”

When they heard Jay, everyone around him got by surprised, making their bodies to flinch slightly. Even the there experts turned alarmed because the way Jay appeared was unnoticed. It was like he popped out of the air itself without any warning.

Greg glancing at Jay, frowned slightly and asked, “What did you find?”

Jay looking at Greg with an excited expression took out a scroll and said, “God’s Tree!”

“!”

When Eliana and Cloud heard this, their expression turned simplified instantly. Even Zane who was expressionless almost all the time looked at Jay with shock.

“God’s Tree? Wait… Are you for real? That God’s Tree?”, asked Joe from the side with widened eyes, not believing if Jay was telling the truth or not.

God’s Tree was a legend that so far no one believed in. The legend said there was once a being that descended onto the earth’s surface and created a tree.

The being made sure that whoever found the tree should find 2 fruits. One fruit was cursed, turning anyone’s cultivation path into a cripple, while the other one pushed one all the way up to the summit of the God rank after eating.

Both fruits ripen at the same time and only once every year. So far, no one found the tree and because of that, everyone believed it to be only a small legend, created by some crazy guy.

However, now that Jay said he found it, everything changed.

“Where did you find it? Tell me!”, said suddenly Zane from the side, making Jay and the others to be surprised by his sudden change of behavior.

Jay glancing at Jay, turned ice cold and said calmly, “Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to reach that place. It is way too dangerous to approach.”

When Zane heard this, his expression darkened and wanted to attack Jay, when suddenly Eliana grabbed his arm and stopped him.

“Why do you think so? First of all, did you see the tree in person?”, asked Eliana after a small while when she saw Jay calming down.

Jay seeing that Eliana stopped Zane doing something stupid nodded and said, “Yes I did. The description of the tree checks up with everything that was written in the legend. However…”

When the three experts and the four kids heard Jay stop talking stayed silent immediately, waiting for him to continue whenever he was ready.

After a small while, he sighed and said calmly, “It is in Frost Desert, in the middle of the Flake Zone.”
