As the 'firewall' rose, the fog in the surroundings dispersed a little. At the very least, the area around the 'firewall' could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Screams of agony came from the firewall. Abel also saw some grey fish with long spikes on their heads struggling in the firewall.
Wizard Dolan explained to Abel, "These are mutated swordfish, Master Bennett. They seem to live in the eye of the demon and feed on anything that falls in."
The legendary wizard's firewall was extremely powerful, but there were still some mutant swordfish that managed to enter the firewall.
Because of the firewall, the swordfish lost their speed and got hurt as soon as they got close to the three legendary wizards.
Without the advantage of speed, the mutated swordfish posed no threat to the three legendary wizards.
What he didn't know was that this wasn't the first time the legendary wizards had been here. They were prepared for all kinds of situations, and the reason why he was able to come here so smoothly was because this wasn't their first time here.
The last time they were here, the three legendary wizards had paid a hefty price to explore the path bit by bit.
Under the protection of the firewall, the three legendary wizards continued to descend with Abel. Under the illumination of the fire, Abel saw a black stone tablet at the bottom of the eye of the demon. The words on it could no longer be read.
Wizard Dolan said with a smile, "We're finally here."
He put his hand on the stone tablet, and a white light emerged from it and wrapped the four of them. Afterward, Abel saw a light appear at the bottom of the demon eye. The light formed a complicated pattern.
When the pattern at the bottom of the demon eye was completely lit up, Abel felt a wave of dimensional energy. His vision blurred, and he was teleported.
When he reappeared, he saw a bright light in front of him. He was standing on a grassy field with the three legendary wizards beside him.
He looked up and saw a giant transparent cover in the sky. In the middle of the cover, there was a fiery red object shining like the sun.
The space he was in was completely under the protection of a giant transparent cover.
He looked around and saw ten puppets on the ground working in the field. They didn't seem to care about their arrival at all.
He was shocked, "This is the ancient herb garden?"
The field was very neat, and all the herbs were well taken care of.
He couldn't believe that the herbal field that had been passed down from ancient times could be so well-preserved. Even the management puppet in the herbal field was still working.
Wizard Dolan smiled, "We were very surprised when we first came here, Master Bennett."
Abel wanted to take a closer look, but he suddenly stopped. There were many skeletons on the side of the field.
Looking at the condition of the skeletons, he could tell that they were from different eras. Some were from hundreds of years ago, and some were from recent decades.
Wizard Dolan bowed to the skeletons, "This is the price that the Wizard Union paid for investigating this ancient sight."
It turned out that the Wizard Union had always kept a record of this ancient sight, so the wizards of the Wizard Union had been looking for it for a long time.
In fact, many of them succeeded, but they also died here at the same time.
Wizard Dolan continued to explain, "They used their lives to get the most important message, Master Bennett. You have to bring an ancient token to enter this ancient sight. Otherwise, the attacks from the ancient sight will kill you on the spot."
As he spoke, he took out a token and showed it to Abel.
He didn't mention how many ancient ruins the Wizard Union had searched for, or how much information they had searched for, to finally get this token.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they were standing on the grass and their surroundings were peaceful and peaceful. In fact, if they didn't have the command medallion, the hidden attack of this herb garden would have made them stay here forever.
The strongest ones who died here were elite wizards. Even a legendary wizard almost died here. He was the one who brought back the message that a token was needed to enter the garden safely.
Abel looked at the herb garden in front of him. It was hard to imagine that there would be such a terrifying defense here. Could there be a spirit controlling this place?
The more he got to know about ancient things, the more he understood about them.
Looking at the ten puppets that had existed since the ancient times, he thought that there must be some maintenance puppets here. There must've been a lot of spare parts here. Otherwise, there was no way they could've survived until now.
Whether the puppets were working in the herb garden or needed maintenance, they all needed to be controlled by a spirit.
Everything here could be seen clearly. There were no buildings, all of them were separated into various medicinal fields. The only place where a spirit could be hidden was underground.
Abel said to Wizard Dolan, "Wizard Dolan, I need to set up a barrier circle and start preparing the ingredients for the potion!"
Wizard Dolan said, "Master Bennett, let's start as soon as possible. The ingredients for the mana resistance potion are all here. We only have ten days. After ten days, we will be automatically teleported out. If we collect the herbs here, the herb garden will automatically calculate the time needed to recover. Only then will the herb garden open again. So, we only have ten days to make the potion!"
They didn't collect any herbs the last time they were here. That was why they could enter again in such a short time.
"Okay, I'll prepare the equipment and go to the herb field to collect the herbs I need!" Abel nodded and replied.
Wizard Dolan quickly said, "Master Bennett, you don't have to do it yourself. We'll do it for you. Just try your best to make as many mana resistance potions as you can!"
He only had ten days, so he wanted to make more mana resistance potions. Normally, these potions would be given to the most powerful wizards to use at the most critical moment.
Abel set up a barrier circle and took out a set of alchemy equipment from his portal bag. For this operation, he almost moved an entire alchemy room.
Making potions was a very private thing for a master potion maker. Also, he didn't want others to see some of his methods, so a barrier circle was a must.
The three legendary wizards were very fast. The first batch of herbs was enough to make twenty portions of the mana resistance potion.
They thought that with Master Bennett's potion making skills, twenty portions of the ingredients should be enough to make at least ten percent of the potion. Of course, this was just their imagination. Normally, a master potion maker could only make one out of five portions.
"Master Bennett, do you have any problems with these ingredients?" Wizard Dolan placed the materials outside the seclusion circle and asked Abel as he walked out.
Abel bent down and carefully inspected the ingredients.
It could be seen that this medicinal garden had already formed a standardized production of medicinal herbs. The medicinal properties of the twenty herbs here were almost exactly the same.
This kind of material was the favorite of Master Pharmacists, because using this kind of herb with the same medicinal properties to refine medicine would increase the success rate of refining medicine.
Of course, this wasn't important to Abel, but it still meant that this garden was well managed.
Abel put away the twenty portions and said to Wizard Dolan, "Wizard Dolan, you can keep collecting. It's best if you collect a hundred portions each time!"
Wizard Doran reminded, "Master Bennett, you need to know that the next opening time of this garden depends on the amount of herbs you collect. It's best if you don't waste them!"
Abel smiled and looked at Wizard Dolan, "Don't worry, I won't waste any of the ingredients here."
The captain of this mission was Wizard Dolan. He was the one who had to make all the decisions.
If Wizard Dolan agreed, Abel would focus on making the potion. If he didn't, then Abel would just make the potion at a normal speed.
One had to know that this' mana resistance potion 'was a master-level potion. Every time it was concocted at a normal speed, it would take at least two hours to concoct a single batch.
Even if he didn't eat, drink, or rest, he could only make one hundred and twenty potions in ten days.
This was under the condition that he never failed. One hundred and twenty potions was too little for someone like him who drank potions like water.
As a matter of fact, what the Wizard Union wanted the most was for Abel to make 60 bottles of the mana resistance potion in 10 days, and that would be enough.
This was why the Wizard Union wanted to only distribute the potion to the most powerful wizards.
Wizard Dolan was a little hesitant as well. If they used up too much of the herbs and didn't make enough potions, they might not be able to open the garden in time for the demon from beyond to wake up. If that was the case, they would have to open the garden a few more times before the demon from beyond woke up. That way, their plan of asking Master Bennett to make a few more rounds would be useless.
However, this was Master Bennett, the number one potion master in the continent. If he said so, then he must have some confidence.
"Master Bennett, just tell us what to do. The 3 of us will listen to your orders and collect the herbs at any time!" Up to this point, he immediately made a decision.
Abel smiled and said, "Alright, I'll ask the three legendary wizards to collect one hundred portions of the mana resistance potion in two hours!"
With that, he walked into the seclusion circle and left the three legendary wizards outside.
"Dolan, you're going to waste a lot of materials if you keep collecting like this. Some of the ingredients have to be used within two hours!" Wizard Doran saw Abel walk into the seclusion circle and said anxiously.
Of course, she was worried. It wasn't easy to come to this garden. Every time they came, they had to take a huge risk. Anything could happen in the outer sea.
It took the Wizard Union a few hundred years to build this garden. Even legendary wizards, including Wizard Dolan, had to risk their lives twice.
If this huge amount of effort was wasted, not only would it affect the opening time of the garden, but it would also affect the wizards who died.
Wizard Dolan lowered his voice, "Doreen, I'll talk to Master Bennett if there's any waste in these 100 portions."
As the three legendary wizards went to collect the herbs again, Abel began to make potions in the seclusion circle.
He first ignited the world stone's ability and used his power of the Will to process the twenty portions of herbs. He divided his power of the Will into twenty portions, and all twenty portions were processed at the same time.
His power of the Will had evolved after absorbing the wisp of Will from the Demon from Beyond's divine armor. With the help of the world stone fragment, he was able to split his focus like this.
His power of the Will was more flexible than his hands. He processed the herbs one by one.
As a matter of fact, potion makers were more willing to use the ingredients provided by the potion maker union rather than the ones gathered from the garden.
The ingredients provided by the potion maker union and the potion maker union were all processed professionally, but the ingredients gathered from the garden required an extra procedure before they could be used to make potions.
If there was an experienced material handler by the side, he would definitely be stunned by the processing of the materials in front of him. Not to mention how strong one's mental strength was needed to process 20 sets of materials at the same time, the process of processing each set of materials was so perfect.
With the help of the world stone, each portion of ingredients was processed to maximize the potency of the ingredients. Every step Abel took could be included in a textbook.
After the ingredients were processed, the potion making process was very easy for him. However, he was not willing to make the mana resistance potion one portion at a time. This was a potion that could suppress the holy Knight. The more he made, the more damage he would cause to the holy Knight of the Nation of God.
Therefore, he decided to do it in batches. Of course, it was very difficult to do. At least, no potion maker would do it in batches for a master's potion.
Generally, only low-level potions were refined in bulk. Even mid-level potions were rarely refined in bulk, unless the materials were completely worthless and easily obtainable. Only then would the pharmacists be so wasteful.
Abel was not wasting. He was very confident. Ever since he settled down in the elves as Master Bennett, he had been making a lot of potions, especially master's. He had almost monopolized all the master's potions in the Central Continent.
