526: Cultivation Potions Are Too Amazing

Cultivation Potions Are Too Amazing

-----2

After Benladann's request, Miranda quickly agreed to try out an ice giant form. Her skin turned pale blue, and her ears turned pointy too. Her body size grew larger almost at two meters and forty centimeters. Her long black hair remained though, and so did her red eyes and freckles over her nose and below her eyes, looking very adorable. She was very cute sometimes, but now? She was even cuter. Sometimes I see a bit of Benladann's charm on her. 

She was still rather flat-chested, although I am sure she could get some massive ones by just shapeshifting it out, but it is better to leave her how she feels more comfortable with.

"You look pretty good! Now you're more like my sister!" said Benladann.

"This feels a bit awkward, I like being smaller, actually…" said Miranda.

"Yeah, you look pretty good." I said, as I petted her head.

We continued to pet her head until she grew more and more red, and Miranda suddenly released a lot of steam out of her ears…

"Okay, that's enough for now! L-Let's continue having breakfast!" she said.

"Haha, okay~" laughed Benladann.

"Ah, who bit my sandwich?" I wondered.

"Oh my, bad sweetie… I-I thought that was mine…" she said.

"Ah, well, here, you can have it then." I said.

"Eh? B-But…" she muttered.

"Don't worry about it, I am sure you're hungry, make sure the baby get all the nutrients." I said.

"Sweetie… Thanks!" said Benladann, as she stuffed herself with the ham and cheese sandwich.

After we had breakfast, I decided to go check the current things going on in the entire facility.

Fuyu was currently finishing off the last parts of the cannons, and I had been using the Clones from my Heads to help her out, as they all share my Skills, they can use Magic Icesmith as well, and because they're so many it became a very easy to do job.

I've been also supervising the Alchemy and Crafter teams, they had been making some useful items, the production of Cultivation Potions is fast nowadays as people is constantly going to grind into the dungeon, especially the production of Rank 4 Potions had begun too, using the mana cores dropped by the Rank 4 Monsters that rarely show up in the dungeon.

After having fused the dungeons, the dungeon was now Rank 4, so occasionally, a very rare Rank 4 monster would show up, often a final boss, which would randomly be any of the monsters available within the dungeons but made bigger and more terrifying.

Tisha, Pekora, Benladann's parents, Rakasha, Draugann, Yuki, Frost, and so on took turns to defeat these big guys and take the big price, alongside the tasty meat and the materials that come with it, sometimes it would drop rare items too, like potions that enhance stats temporarily by a nice +10% and stuff like that, they're too precious and I don't want to steal them from them, so I haven't drank any for now, although I do plan to do so.

With people getting to drink more Cultivation Potions which are made from the mana cores they get from their hunts as commissions by paying a fee to the alchemist guild I've made up by abusing the power of skill runes and accessories infused with them, which allowed anyone to have the Alchemy Magic Skill when wearing the accessory, most of my people had already reached Rank 4 Initial Stage.

Benladann had also drank Potions made out of the Rank 4 Mana Cores I had which wouldn't do anything to me in my state, and she got pretty strong out of it too.

As of now only Rank 5 Mana Cores can really give me any boost, but I've only eaten three, and they were all old ones, I need a fresh one, from someone that has yet to die! Like… the Dark Shadow Sect master rumored to be Rank 5! He would be a nice meal to me.

I might still be Rank 4, but my strength is more or less comparable to Rank 5, even more if I go all out, after my recent evolution into an Orochi, I doubt I would have the same hardships against Kumo as I once did, even while fighting in an environment where she gets all the mana she wants.

Would be nice to bring her down into a dungeon to practice though, she's perhaps the most resilient of all my people, so she would make for a good sparring partner, even if I end up breaking a leg or two, she can regenerate them instantly, and despite how she tries to hide it in her cuteness, she's a battle junkie and would also try to beat the shit out of me if I were to allow her into a sparring session.

After all her whole respect to me surged because both of us beat the shit out of the other for so long that she grew some sort of bond to me, I believe she's kind of romantically attracted to me too, but I cannot really accept her feelings, I am not into literal animals, and I already got Benladann and her other self, Miranda, so I am more than stuffed. Nonetheless, she's still cute and acts always lovely with me.

From time to time she even licks me to "clean me" with her long tongue, unusual for spiders who are supposed to not have tongues, right?

Anyways, this was not the subject of now, the thing is, everyone was growing stronger, even the children had already reached Rank 4 after hunting so much, and even Ruby and Rakasha… and Draugann! Cultivation Potions are really the most insane creation I've ever made. They could literally change the entire world and make the concept of cultivating way easier… I must keep them a secret forever.

The only one that is yet to reach Rank 4 are a few of the people, such as Cassim who is mostly new, but he's already hallway through there…
