After Rio finished his potion and properly organised his thoughts, he felt satisfied. Pura Corpus didn't make him stronger nor did it break limits for his talent, but it had solidified his foundation, making his future journey easy to start, and for Rio that was enough.
Cause to grow stronger he has a lot of other opportunities waiting for him. 8 years till the plot starts, which simply ant chances which were written in the novel would be just waiting for him to take for 8 years. Though so of them were useless or so would only show up after certain events, but still there was enough stuff for him to take & feel safe.

Rio looked towards the herbs left and saw there were still enough left to make 3 more potions. He wanted to go out but decided to make one more potion for Alia. As he thought - Why would you have her face Alia?
'In the novel there weren't any character arts posted so I have no idea if it's just a coincidence or sothing to do with .'
'I'm kinda missing hearing Ria's voice in my head now.'
Rio was lost in his thoughts as he made the potion. He didn't make any mistakes this ti. So he decided to make more, not for anyone else, just to give them to Artemis, so she can do whatever she wants.
'I'm pretty sure, she already knows about its effects. Considering her guards who've been watching all this ti.'
After making those potions, Rio took one with himself and kept the rest on the table and started walking out, while saying - "You can give them to mother for testing."
There was no response in return, as the whole point of them being hidden was that so no one could identify them, even if they were standing in front of you. They were few chosen ones who've been following Blake's for generations and have learned to be in the shadows. They didn't need any credit, as loyalty ran in their blood.
I rember in the novel so of them were used as suicide bombers to blast the Royal Palace in bright daylight and put the bla on Evil's Scion. 'That was a nice idea the author used there.'
"I'm going to my room, call Asher to et there." Rio said and walked out, the door closed behind him automatically as the lights went out.

Rio walked straight and went to his room, he closed the doors and decided to take a bath.
'well I don't see any black liquid leaking like those cultivation novels but why not'
He stood in front of the mirror, he wasn't narcissistic nor did it matter much how he looked, but he wanted to see the effects of the potion firsthand. It's not everyday you could just eat sothing and feel renewed/reford.
There weren't many differences that he could see except his skin looked more cleaner & smoother. His height and body was the sa but he felt like he lost so fat.
'I expected more changes but I guess it's all internal stuff huhh.'
The pura corpus was sothing magical for building a foundation. Now if he awakened, newly awakened him could easily beat soone who went through it before him.
Plus since his body was purer now, the effects of so other potions & pills he would take would be much better on him, as there were no impurities to obstruct their progress.
This was the second reason why Rio was determined to make this potion, after all he knew where he could find many gifts left or buried and knew many recipes for potions, and to use them to their full extent he needed pura corpus.
Since this potion was sothing so magical you would think it was made for the protagonist. But do you think a protagonist would share sothing this good with others. Nope, they don't even share anything with anyone, even their own loved ones, so why would he share this with the whole world.
Simple, cause he had no choice.
Leon, our protagonist was the sa. He used this potion on himself but never shared it with anyone else. Until he told it to a girl to impress her and she shared it with the whole world. Leon got the full credit for it as she was honest, but he wasn't satisfied with it. So he acted angry saying she broke his trust, and as you could guess the fiasco soon ended when he got the girl too.
'Ukhhh fucking cliche route'
'Though I do wonder what would happen now hehehe'

After getting dressed Rio walked out and took out a paper and pen. He started writing all the chances he could rember, it didn't matter if they were for so hero or villain or side character, it didn't matter to him. If he could steal all the heavenly chances then why not. He decided to take everything which were useful for him now and easy to get.
'I can take other stuff later on myself.'
He was busy writing stuff when he heard a knock on the door and heard his voice -
"Young master, it's Asher."
"Co in" Rio said and watched as Asher ca in and bowed after he closed the door.
"Do you need sothing, young master?"
"Wait for to finish." Rio said as he continued writing and Asher just stood there silently.
After so ti Rio finished writing and passed the paper to Asher.
Asher was surprised as he continued reading through the list, he saw nas of pills and potions that were very high grade, so which were lost in history. When he turned the page he was shocked as he saw about techniques and artifacts that were only known to a few and thought to be only rumors. He even saw so stuff that even he who ran a business for artifacts never heard of it.
Along with their nas he saw locations where he would have to go to find them , Asher didn't know what to do with all this knowledge.
Artemis had told him that they were to follow Rio's order as he needed Alpha's to get so things, but never had he imagined that what he thought to be so random stuff would turn out to THIS.

Asher was lost in his thoughts when he heard Rio's voice - "I need you and your team to go there and get all these items for ."
Asher was thinking about where Rio even got the news about all this when he heard Rio continuing his words - "I don't need to tell you about taking only the people whom you can trust and keep the news to select few. The places written on the second page are secured with so traps and tests, so be extra careful in those areas."
Rio watched as Asher nodded his head and then continued as he stood up and ca in front of him - "And the most important thing, be as discreet as you possibly can, make sure no one knows anything about the Blake family. If it's not possible abandon that item but do not take the risk of exposure. DO YOU UNDERSTAND."
"Yes, young master." Asher said as he could sowhat understand what would happen if news leaked about this. But he just thought it was because of so rivalry or competition but Rio was worried only about protagonist and his supporter camp learning this. As most of the stuff he wrote was from their camp.
Rio also gave Asher nas about 2-3 bandit groups and one of the hidden gang locations for local criminals in Damascus , whom Alphas were tasked to kill, they were people who would be later used as face slapping tools by Leon to seduce Alia and sohow Rio hated that.
"You have one month's ti to finish everything and co back." Rio said and turned around , but then he rembered sothing and said - "Ohh, and if Alia is free now, tell soone to prepare so snacks, we'll have a rest, I'm starved."
Asher nodded his head and put the list in his storage ring and went out, he needed to prepare his team for this mission.
'I wonder if she knows about it.' Asher thought as he walked towards Artemis's study room. He needed her permission to fully utilize Alphas as it would take so ti for him to go to all these places and co back. Plus the killings of those people, without Artemis's approval he couldn't do that.

Artemis who was currently talking to her sister, discussing her punishnt for spilling her secrets while thinking if she should ask her help to learn Rio's secrets, but she also didn't want to invade on her son's privacy, so she decided to give him a chance to explain everything first and cut the call. But that decision changed as soon as Asher ca in and handed her the list.
'I should call her again.' She thought.
