SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Mana potions

[Ding! Bloodline Extraction Initiated]

[Target: Forest Wolf – Tier 0 Beast]

[Ding! You have extracted the ability 'Minor Agility Boost'.]

[Ding! [Minor Agility Boost] has been upgraded.]

[Ding! You have killed Forest Wolf Lv. 3]

[Ding! You have gained experience points.]

"So if I absorb the same ability, it levels up a little," Damon noted. Letting the beast corpse fall to the ground, he quickly started draining the blood of the second wolf. Soon, another set of notifications followed.

[Ding! Bloodline Extraction Initiated]

[Target: Forest Wolf – Tier 0 Beast]

[Ding! Partial Bloodline Extraction. You have gained 1 agility stat point]

[Ding! You have killed Forest Wolf Lv. 3]

[Ding! You have gained experience points.]

Damon was surprised at this set of notifications.

Even though he had repeated everything, the bloodline extraction was only a partial success. But it still gave him an additional stat point. It wasn't much, but then again, it was a permanent addition to the stats, so it was quite good overall.

At least for now, the skill was slowly compensating for the loss of stats from not having a class. To really understand the effects of the Bloodline Extraction skill, he will need to keep going and farm more and more beasts.

Damon opened up the map and checked out the area where he was. He was currently in the forests on the outskirts of the Nieta Falls. There were a lot of easy, low-tier beasts in this region. This was perfect for his grind.

He prepared to head over to a known grinding spot when suddenly his head started spinning.

[Ding! Warning! You are experiencing severe Mana Exhaustion.]

The basic mana potions actually weren't all that difficult to make. In his last life, after two years, there was a genius alchemist who had found a shortcut recipe for some of the more useful potions. This man had completely crashed the market, and he made a killing out of it.

Normally, basic mana potions would cost 20 silver, and basic health potions would cost 25 silver, but this dude was selling them for 5 silver a pop. Moreover, he continued to sell them, his stock supply seemingly never-ending.

All the big guilds were taking a huge loss, and they were completely livid. Finally, someone managed to find out the secret of the guy. Instead of the usual complicated recipe of the basic health potion and mana potion, he was using a shortcut recipe and using only one herb.

Damon remembered it clearly. The forums had gone absolutely insane when the secret broke.

The alchemist had figured out that Lesser Mistleaf, a common herb that spawned near ponds and marshy lowlands, could substitute for three rare ingredients in the original potion recipe if processed right away.

The catch was that a little bit of mist had to remain on the leaf when harvesting it and processing it.

Pissed off by the big guilds constantly harassing him and supressing him, in the end the genius alchemist simply gave away the formula to the public, thereby completely crushing the market. The two potions were sold for dirt cheap after that, and no one could make a profit anymore.

But this time around, Damon was the only one who knew this secret formula. The entire market was his to dominate. He quickly hurried to the snake pond, taking the shortest path he knew. On the way, he ran into a couple of wild boars.

Damon checked his mana. It was 30/50. He tossed the 5 extra stats into his intelligence for now. It immediately bumped up his mana to 50/70. "This should be enough for a single bloodline extraction." He clicked his tongue and went for the two boars.
