Chapter 225: Opening Mana Channel

"Good morning," Whittaker said, walking inside the royal kitchen of Zachary's palace.

"Morning!" Nina cheerfully replied. "Little brother, what brings you here so early in the morning? Could it be you want to train in the Art of Phoenix Rebirth Cooking technique?"

Whittaker has been meaning to learn the profession Magic Chef, and Nina has even taught him the basics, and she was willing to let him learn the S-rank cooking technique.

"Thanks, sis, I would love to learn it. But today I came here for another purpose. I hope you can provide me with 1000 spirit flowers, hundreds of stalks of Silver Moon Grass, ten sets of White Branch Fruits, Hundred Year Moon Milks, Violent Yang Flowers, and Blood Tree Crown Leaves." Whittaker said before also handing over the recipe of Mana Channel Opening Pill to Nina.

Although he would love to learn the S-rank cooking technique, he wanted to first create the pills and open all his mana channels!

"Except the Spirit flowers, the rest of the magical herbs are too low ranked. It won't be easy to obtain them in the magic garden on the uppermost floor of the Palace. But these herbs are present in abundance at the back garden below the palace." Nina said the back garden was also the place where Whittaker fought the Viper with dragon blood. "Although I can get as many magical herbs and spirit flowers you want, can you tell me what you are planning to do with them?"

Whittaker hesitated for a while but decided to say the truth.

Why?

It's because Elder Zachary didn't hesitate before handing out the destiny changing awakening stone to him.

"I need spirit flowers to save a being related to me and my clan. As for the rest of the magical herbs, they will be used to create the Mana Chanel Opening Elixirs which will help me open my mana channels!" Whittaker explained with a serious look on his immature face.

Do humans have mana channels?!!

Nina had access to plenty of knowledge stored. However, she has never come across such knowledge.

"Are you joking? How is it possible for humans to have mana channels? Even if humans do have mana channels, how did you obtain a recipe to open them?"

In the awakened continent, there is no information on humans possessing mana channels, but the same can't be said about other worlds.

However, Whittaker has never left the awakened continent. Thus, how could he possess such a recipe?

Maybe he came across a lucky opportunity in the Monster Tower!

"Elder sister, I really am not joking," Whittaker said with a serious expression and took out the cauldron of Night. "I have many secrets I can't explain as even I don't understand what potential danger they might bring to those who know. But as you can see, I am an alchemist and I obtained the recipe along with this cauldron in the monster tower."

So he obtained a lucky opportunity in the monster tower!

Good!!

Whittaker did not know that his words have answered the question in Nina's heart.

As the caldron hit the ground, Nina's eyes opened wide in surprise. She has used scans to check out what this cauldron was.

The information she obtained was soul thrilling!

This was a treasure among cauldron.

Nevertheless, she wasn't able to fully determine the extent of the cauldron's capabilities. It was as if this treasure was covered in a fog of mystery, which even she as the rank-10 formation spirit with endless knowledge can not unveil.

"Amazing. After seeing this treasure, I believe you somewhat." Nina said as she stared at the cauldron of the night with many mystical magical rune designs.

She couldn't entirely discern the effects of 7 of them!

Although she made out that one was related to time!

Anything related to time was damn rare. Time-related items were almost nonexistent in the awakened continent!

"You can watch the pill I create, and I'll eat them to open my mana channels. Once you notice the changes in my body, you will believe me," Whittaker confidently replied.

He had gotten his recipe from Lord Dark Spirit. He was certain that it wasn't a scam. Moreover, Lord Dark spirit said that it was common for people outside the awakened continent to open their mana channels.

"Okay, I will go and bring the spirit flowers and magic herbs to you in some minutes," Nina said before she vanished in the blink of an eye.

Nina left Zachary's palace briskly. After descending down the heaven reaching mountain, she went to the back garden storehouse.

She arrived at the back garden very shortly since she was incredibly fast. It could even be said that she was teleporting.

She was respectively greeted by the magical beasts who were guarding the magic herbs present inside the back mountain from magical beasts and thieves. Nina naturally ordered them to enter the Back Garden and uproot the magical herbs and spirit flower Whittaker asked for.

A few moments passed before the 13-star and other powerful magical beasts returned with the things Nina requested them.

"Good job," she happily patted them all, and the magical beast happily roared.

Their owner was too kind.

She would regularly feed them magical food with an unmatchable taste.

It even helped them break through to the next realm.

The magical beasts were obedient to Nina and acted cute like hamsters to win her favor before she went away.

After Nina returned with the ingredients, Whittaker hurled a batch of them inside the cauldron. The very next moment, he used his mana to swiftly distill them multiple times before instantly activating the necessary magical rune designs to surrounded the cauldron with flames, quickly heating the entire thing.

"Wonderful! Little brother, your impurities dispelling techniques and precision with the magical rune design astonishes me. Which grandmaster taught you alchemy?" Nina asked as she was amazed by the young boy's swift and accurate movements.

Under Whittaker's control, it was as though the cauldron had come to life, and it was automatically refining the elixir. If there were spectators to his performance then they would have begged for his contact number.

The only thing separating Whittaker from becoming an expert was the amount of his mana. 

"I learned it myself, in a day. Actually, it took me less than a night to master alchemy and create the Heart Rejuvenating Pill." Whittaker replied calmly, ultimately focusing on the task at hand.

However, his words left the spectator shocked to her very core.

A day?

Less than a night?

What???

Such a thing is not possible even if a person uses knowledge crystals.

A knowledge crystal only provides knowledge about alchemy. However, a person needs to have precious control over mana and impurities distilling technique of grandmaster degree.

Precise control over mana and impurities distilling technique is needed to activate the see-through imprint, one-way imprint, flame imprint, and temperature control imprint. The higher your control the more impurities spelled from the herbs by using mana and the fire. 

In the end, the lesser the impurities, the higher quality of the elixir produced.

Precise control and impurities distilling techniques were divided into: apprentice, expert, master, and grandmaster ranks. Each rank was further divided into basic, intermediate, advance, and peak.

Whittaker had dexterous hands, photographic memory, and his control over mana was hundred times greater than others because he was a Devansha.

The Devansha's are said to be able to battle a thousand experts by themselves, and their control over mana comes from their blue blood.
