Potion Maker Chapter 37: Approaching destination.

Days after, they resumed their journey to the Blood Demon Sect, all the time, Cecily was worried about Will.

She knows that as a rejected he will inevitably suffer, she also knows that in the future she will probably have to suffer misfortune from helping him.

All of these reasons will allow her to increase her strength so she can help her sect in the future, she could also assist Will in his path to defy the heavens.

Unknowingly, Cecily started to feel concerned for Will, although Will still thinks she is a twelve year old girl.

He still hasn't asked her how old she is, he would be shocked to know that such a small girl was already 16.

In this world, at Cecily's age, she would already have married and had children, but as a cultivator, she can't just be with a mortal.

Cultivators tend to focus on cultivating to a certain level before looking for someone to start a family with, because once they reach higher levels breaking through becomes harder, and forcing it won't work, so since they have a lot of free time, they have enough time to find someone they love and start a family.

Sometimes, the happiness of being with the one you love and your children (if you have any) is enough to cause one to break through their bottleneck.

For evil cultivators, this is also the same, except if they refuse to fall in love, the have ways that include sacrificing souls to increase their cultivation.

Although, it doesn't mean that the only way to breakthrough a bottleneck is to be happy, you can still go into closed door cultivation and consume countless medicinal plants.

On the topic of evil cultivators..

Demonic sects aren't necessarily evil, Cecily's sect for example only uses their demonic techniques on their enemies.

They will not harm innocents.

Although like any place high in power, there tends to be evil and sinister people lurking in the shadows, so there are innocents being harmed at certain moments, although the sect head and Cecily are unaware.

Even though they won't harm innocents, because they walk the demonic path, any orthodox sect would chase them down till the ends of the earth.

It's like the conflicts between different religions commonly seen in any world.

While they were traveling on Cecily's treasure, Will realized that in his mental space he can create as many potions as he wants, but in reality he hasn't tested his limit, so he had to ask the system, to make sure.

'System, how many potions do you think I can make in one day?'

-Host, you should know, the limit for you now is two...I swear I told you before

'I don't remember if you told me before.. You sound like you are more intelligent than usual?'

-I don't know what you mean host.

"ugh"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the noise Will let out of his mouth, Cecily asked with concern.

"Nothing, when do you think we will get there?"

Will scratched his head as he asked, changing the subject as Cecily gave him a suspicious look.

"When we stopped to save them, we already were halfway there"

letting off a smile, Cecily informed Will as she gave him a look that said he should understand the rest.

Looking at the clouds blurring past, Will listened to the sounds of shock waves constantly appearing as their speed kept increasing.

It has been at least a thousand shock waves already in the last few minutes, that is how fast the treasure Cecily has can travel.

One may think that this speed would already have been a very instant travel, it is fast, but after almost two months, they are getting closer.

Even at this speed they haven't arrived yet, it only goes to show the distance they are from Cecily's sect.

The trees they flew over started to thin out as the land started to become barren.

Seeing this, Cecily turned to Will.

"Since we are so close, and considering there is a little over one week left until we get there, as long as there are no interruptions, we are just going to go in one straight path to get there as quick as possible. The barren land has no places to hide, allowing us to travel faster without worrying about beasts"

Looking at the sick appearance of the land they entered, Will almost felt a pain in his heart, he could only think about the potential ingredients that could have once been there.

Well, to be honest, with his ability to sense potential ingredients(instinct that appeared because of his Potion Maker ability), he has noticed that he feels a pull when he is near humans as well, even the dirt he walks on has a weak pull.

Practically anything can be used as an ingredient for him, he just needs to figure out it's uses…

Although he doesn't have to struggle learning like an Alchemist would have to.

He still has to figure out the basic attributes of his ingredients, so he can decide what potions he can make.

While deep in thought, Will thought of the system, and his abilities, he even thought of one thing the system mentioned long ago.

The Ability Shop.

He couldn't wait until he unlocked it, he wondered what abilities he could purchase.

The main question is, how much would they be?

He has only made five potions, he doesn't have enough points with this amount, not enough to buy anything he would want…
