In the middle of the night, Asroth entered his Time Stone and harvested 1,000 Mana Grass. These Mana Grass were already five years old because five days had passed since he planted them in the Time Stone. If he sold a five-year-old Mana Grass, it would be worth about 1 gold coin each. A five-month-old Mana Grass would only be worth silver coins.
It took Asroth two days to finish harvesting all the Mana Grass inside and to replant the Purple Star Fruit, Oracle Petals Leaf, and Mana Grass. When Asroth returned to the real world, only a few minutes had passed.
Asroth was holding a large Magic Beast bag containing 1,000 Mana Grass. He immediately looked for Asrah, and when he found her, he quickly approached her.
"Asrah," Asroth called.
Asrah looked at him and noticed the large Magic Beast skin bag he was carrying on his back.
"These are the Magic Grass you will use to absorb Mana."
Asroth put the bag down, revealing 1,000 pieces of five-year-old Mana Grass in front of them.
"That's a lot..." Asrah said in surprise.
Asroth just laughed.
"Next week, after I finish Mana absorption in the Time Stone, I'll give you more Oracle Petals Leaf and Purple Star Fruit!" Asroth said, amused by Asrah's shocked expression.
Asrah couldn't speak. She knew that Oracle Petals Leaf was much harder to find and grow compared to Mana Grass, and the Purple Star Fruit was a different story altogether!
"By the way, I got this earlier: a 1st tier low-level Magic skill called [Wind Movement]."
"It can triple your running speed or movement. I don't plan to train with it yet because I'll be focusing on Mana absorption, so you can use it for now, Asrah," Asroth said.
"Mn! I'll reach middle control soon," Asrah said happily, nodding.
When using a Magic Skill, there are Control Stages: Low, Middle, High, and Peak. Once you start using a Magic Skill, you automatically reach Low-level control, and it usually takes about a month of training to reach Middle control, depending on the tier of the Magic Skill.
For example, a 1st tier low-level Magic skill would take about a month to reach Middle control. Meanwhile, a 1st tier middle-level Magic skill would take about two months to reach Middle control.
"Here's the dagger I bought for you," Asroth said, handing Asrah the Half Step Magic Beast Dagger he had purchased.
Asrah paused for a moment before accepting it slowly.
"Thank you."
Suddenly, Asrah hugged him, surprising Asroth. But Asroth just smiled, hugged Asrah back, and gently stroked her long hair.
