Pei Ze came to his senses, left the stone house, and headed for the exchange.
Red Maple City was much quieter than it had been three or four months ago.
Even the normally bustling mission hall and exchange had seen a significant drop in foot traffic.
Walking down the street, you could clearly feel the somber tension in the air.
With no missions to undertake, most Free Mages stayed in their residences to cultivate, rarely going out.
The streets were nearly empty. Every so often, a squad of fully armed legionaries would march past, their hurried footsteps and the clang of their armor adding to the grim atmosphere.
Pei Ze arrived near the exchange, rented a potion lab, and began to concoct the resonance potion.
During this period, aside from cultivating, he spent most of his time concocting potions.
Occasionally, he would find time to go to the Magic Laboratory to practice Magic and Elemental Runes, lest he get rusty.
