"Master Ang, may I commission you to make a batch of Healing Potions?" Ernit asked.
After hearing Ernit's request, Ang thought for a moment before nodding and accepting the commission. "If there are more materials, I can produce them in batches, which would greatly reduce the cost." He added, "The market price of a Healing Potion is around five Magic Crystals. Considering production costs, an ordinary mage can earn a profit of forty to fifty Gold Wack per bottle. With a larger quantity, the profit will naturally be even higher."
Ernit was very interested. He turned and signaled for his nephew to bring out all the available materials for making Healing Potions, then formally commissioned Ang to produce a batch. They soon agreed that for every ten potions made, Ang could take two as payment. Ernit calculated that raw materials were relatively cheap in Aktoobe. If they were directly made into Healing Potions and sold elsewhere, their price could increase several times over. He realized this would be a highly profitable business.
To speed up production, Ernit also decided to leave his nephew behind as an assistant. Although his nephew was also an intermediate magic apprentice and could make some basic potions, his success rate and potion quality were clearly far inferior to Ang's. Ang was not worried that his unique skills would be easily learned. After all, the crucial steps in his potion-making lay in his control and catalysis of the Holy Light Element, something that was difficult to imitate.
Over the following days, Ang and Ernit's nephew worked together seamlessly, using the available materials to successfully produce two hundred highly effective Healing Potions. It was quite an achievement. Looking at the neatly arranged potion bottles, Ernit felt a surge of delight, though he also felt some heartache. According
