After a good rest after that intense battle, Takeshiba Aika told Eric everything that she had heard and seen happen in her family when she got there.

She didn\'t forget to even tell him about the fact that her family had told her to get as close to him as possible, but maintain a line until she was told otherwise.

Besides that, she had heard that the coming month, her brother Takeshiba Yuto and Yoshida Gina would hold the official party of their engagement, while their wedding would be next year.

Of course, this was according to her family\'s and brother\'s plan. Eric wasn\'t surprised with all this, as he had been expecting something like this.

Furthermore, their plans were nice and all, but it was just their plans before he arrived here, and they hadn\'t counted for him.

One thing that surprised him though, the date of marriage between Takeshiba Yuto and Yoshida Gina, in his previous future he had been with her after the S-day, but she was still a virgin.

He had been the one to pop her cherry, but that would make no sense if she had been married. So either her wedding was being held earlier than it would have happened, or something else happened.

He would have to look more into this later, but now there were more important things in front of him. He had a lot to study and work on these days.

With that thought in mind, he let the two girls leave, as he started to read the books he had taken from the library earlier.

It took him around 3 hours to read the books he had on him, and the encyclopedia, even though he had a processing speed of 30 times more than normal.

But that didn\'t matter right now, what mattered was the fact that he finally had updated more than 70% of the information he had gained through the system.

He was now able to recognize all the herbs for level 1 pills and potions that were in the knowledge he got, and also knew how to process and use them.

The reason why it was only 70% though was because that was part of the names of the herbs, and properties, the rest of the information had to do with processing, flame, concoction, and pill forming.

When all was said and done, Eric felt ready to start practicing alchemy, and potion concoction.

Thinking like this he immediately sent Old Na a call to come by his side, as he prepared a list with different herbs for him to buy in the market.

Since those were materials for level 1 potions, like the Low Health Potion, Low Body Tempering Potion, and Low Spirit Power Potion, the materials were easy to find, and not really expensive.

As a matter of fact, a few of those materials were even commonly used herbs like nettles, rose petals, or lotuses, but there were even some rare variants of Snake plants or Golden Pothos.

Even though these potions had only 3 main herbs, the fact stood that they required at least 16 different accompanying herbs, which included the nettles and others.

What made Eric feel a bit unsettled was that this was still the 1st level of alchemy! What would happen when he reached higher levels?

How many herbs would a level 3 pill or potions require, what about a level 6 one, and not to mention that there were even level 9 pills and potions.

At the moment he had no idea and no matter how much he thought about it he wouldn\'t be able to find it or have a solution, he would have to think about it when he reached that stage.

While he was thinking like that, the door to his private box knocked, and Old Na entered inside with his permission.

Handing him over the list with the ingredients Eric advised him to get the materials as soon as possible, and while he was at it, he also told him to procure him some good seeds of those plants.

He had to think even for the future, after the S-day everything would get tougher, and it would be more problematic to cultivate the herbs, or produce something.

The S-day and its after-effects would take a big toll on the planet Earth, and he would have to prepare for when it came to pass.

While he could hire, or recruit a lot of workers, and whatnot, he never knew what might happen on or after the S-day when they all got the opportunity to grow stronger.

The human mind was truly an unpredictable thing, and it took only a bit of chance and opportunity to turn a weak sheep into a skinny greedy wolf.

Eric still didn\'t know how he would deal with this when he would have to, but right now he didn\'t care much about it.

He still had more than three years to think and decided about it, as he let Old Na retreat to go and buy the herbs in the list.

He didn\'t forget to tell him to do all this without attracting unwanted attention though, he didn\'t want people to know about his needed lists of ingredients.

He was planning to boost his required herbs and materials by a bit from the Japanese Government and the Council of Five.

After all, they were just a beneficiary partner at the moment, and he didn\'t have a reason to play the nice guy.

Taking care of all this, he left took a look around the place, and left Fragrance Hall, with his new bodyguards.

Since he couldn\'t send them away, it was better to keep them in sight, and why not try recruiting them. He had to accept that at the moment he was too weak for the likes of Kirigaya Endo.

Even though this state was only momentary as he would be able to surpass Kirigaya Endo in no time, it still left him a bad taste.

Thinking like this, he hastened his steps towards Akira\'s apartment, since everything was going on the right way, he had decided to start increasing his strength.

Tonight he would start his body tempering program and start increasing his strength and level. The level 30 cap needed to disappear as soon as possible, but so should disappear the other caps.

He couldn\'t let his body or his experience and meditation become a hurdle into increasing his strength.

All this time he had been thinking that if his body\'s development could be a cap for his level increase at the moment, in a near future the problem could be his experience, or his spirit power, or his comprehension.

For this reason, he had decided that from now on he would make sure to not let any one of these three behind, and he would pay them equal attention and care.

With his hastened pace, he reached Akira\'s apartment quickly, and the scene inside the apartment didn\'t change much from one of the previous days, with the exception of Akira being in there too.

As soon as he entered inside he was greeted by Akira\'s and Mina\'s welcoming deep kisses which he clearly enjoyed, as Tina stayed on the couch like an injured animal.

All these days she didn\'t seem to be in the mood to do anything, and it seemed like she was angry and upset at her owner for some reason.

Eric could clearly notice this and had a few ideas on his mind why she was behaving like this, but he still didn\'t bother with her.

She was at the bottom of his priorities list at the moment, as letting go of the two beauties on his arms, he made his way towards the bathroom.

Entering inside he took off his clothes, showing his chiseled and muscled body to no one in special, and then prepared the tub while throwing two full bottles of low-quality Body Tempering Liquid inside.

  After what happened the first time at the motel, with him throwing all those bottles inside and having his body tempered like that, he guessed that just one wouldn\'t make the cut.

Of course, he didn\'t think that 2 would be enough either, but differently from the first time, he would experiment with his limits slowly.

He didn\'t want to relive a similar situation to what he went through in that motel. He wasn\'t some kind of crazy masochist who took pleasure in that torture.

Of course, he understood that he needed to work hard, and endure a lot in the way in order to reach the top, and become the strongest expert, but still, he didn\'t need to go looking for pain on his own will.

With that thought in mind, he entered the tub, and immediately sitting in a lotus position inside it, he closed his eyes and tried to meditate.

Trying to feel more of his body, and his center he discovered the traces of the Qi inside his body, which was still in the first phases and was circulating really slowly through all his body.

Concentrating harder on feeling that kind of warm energy inside his body, he tried to direct it according to his cultivation manual, and also think deeply about the lines in that cultivation manual.

At first, he felt like he was trying to capture an illusory truck and direct it through some rocky, and tight roads, which made it look really difficult and almost impossible, but he didn\'t give up.

Slowly the truck started to become more and more tangible, as the roads became less bumpy, and wider, making it easier for him to ride that truck through the roads that were his meridians.

It didn\'t take long before he was finally able to drive the truck without problems, even though it was slow at first its speed was increasing, and it was clearly faster than when it was self-driven.

Like this, his experience seemed to be increasing too, as the Body Tempering Liquid worked on its own to purify his body, even though it was clearly visible that the effect was really low…
