God´s Eyes

Three days passed since new year's eve when Greg was notified that the last ingredients required to concoct his soulbonds evolution solution arrived, which caused the Fler's to be overjoyed while Jason rubbed his hands in both excitement and nervousity at the same time.

Throughout the last three days, he prolonged his practice with all kinds of extremely difficult grade-1 potions and didn't fail a single time, while his purification process increased in proficiency thanks to him being able to handle his flame much more precisely than before.

This was also thanks to the Netherworld's fort body refining technique he practiced, but mostly because his bond with the black origin flame thickened, while it seemed at the same time that his origin flame received an amplification in its intelligence, which was weird to notice.

If it was comparable with a restless newborn, it was now rather quiet and curious at everything around it.

With his current proficiency he attained thanks to his seemingly perfect vision, black origin flame, and sensitivity towards mana, Jason was sure that he would be able to concoct the bloodline unsealing potion without any problems, even if he wouldn't dare to cleanse the ingredients from impurities in order to avoid even the slightest issue.

In the end, it was Greg's ingredients and not his, even though he lent him the funds.

As such he had to be rather careful and even more so because they were expensive and rare.

It would take a few weeks in order for a new batch of the required ingredients to arrive if he were to make a mistake, which was not something Jason could afford with his limited time.

Even so, he was confident in himself and now, he just had to figure out where exactly he should concoct the potion.

Concocting the potion at the Fler's wouldn't be extremely smart, because they would see him, and get to know that he was able to concoct a bloodline unsealing solution, was not something Jason wanted.

Even if he trusted them completely, there was no way for him to reassure their safety, if he were to tell them everything he figured out, because it was still possible that they accidentally revealed something, after they parted ways.

Thinking that they might end up in a perilous situation with a simple slip of their tongue, Jason didn't want to force his own burden on them, which caused him to think of a different place to concoct the bloodline unsealing solution.

'There is only the Artisan tower, right?' Thinking about the possibilities, Jason couldn't help but feel weird, because the Artisan tower seemed to have almost monopolized the whole market for all basic lifestyle occupations on Astrix, with a few exceptional individuals as exceptions.

Nodding his head, Jason decided to go to the Artisan tower, as soon as the ingredients arrived and there was nothing else to think about, because it was not even something special for youths to experiment with the lifestyle occupations in a Basic-concoction, forging or inscribing room.

As such, he wouldn't attract too much attention if he were to ask for a Basic-room, as long as he was allowed to rent one, which was probably not that much of a problem, as he knew Cheng, while a Basic concoction room was not even considered special, to begin with.

If he didn't want to drag the Fler's into his problems, he would rather stay at their house without wasting more than two hours solely for the traveling purpose.

In the end, Jason told himself that he could as well read something or practice the Heaven's Hell technique within the shuttle, which caused him to not think too much about this insignificant issue if one could even call it that.

The whole morning passed without anything special happening, while the Fler's strolled around restlessly without being able to calm down.

It looked like they couldn't even practice a martial art technique or absorb mana from the outside, because they were so nervous, while Jason could only look at the four weirdly.

They also asked him multiple times if it was really fine with his teacher to immediately concoct the bloodline unsealing solution, to which he only nodded his head, without answering as he already did so several dozen times.

With Artemis and Scorpio outside the soul world during the whole day, Jason leaned on Scorpio's body, in the backyard when he read all kinds of books, with Artemis laying on top of Scorpio once she was tired from flying through the sky.

When Greg received a notification, everyone except Jason and his two soulbonds jumped up, with radiant smiles on their faces as they rushed towards the street, where they could see a small drone carefully descending with a heavy package below it.

Accepting the package, Jason noticed that the parcel itself was nothing special while the small boxes within radiated a cooling sensation, telling everyone that there were multiple perennial boxes within.

Without wasting any time, Greg picked up the parcel and carefully approached Jason, only to hesitate for a second, because doubts filled his mind.

'Everything will be fine, right? Why am I suddenly so nervous?! Taurus will finally completely unseal his bloodline and will evolve into a Lesser Minotaur!!'

Reassuring himself, he held out the parcel towards Jason, who stood up in order to store the parcel, as he noticed Greg's hesitation.

Smiling, he confidently said

"Don't worry! At the end of the day, you'll have the bloodline unsealing solution in your own hands."

Hearing this, Greg's tension slightly eased up, as Jason wanted to store the ingredients into his storage device.

'Huh?' Noticing that it didn't work, he averted his attention from Greg to the parcel, only to see strong mana fluctuations coming from the ingredients, telling him that they were plucked only several days ago, without hurting their roots, which was extremely beneficial because it preserved their effect.

Smiling lightly, he took out a bag, where he put in the several perennial boxes, before he gazed at the other materials within, nodding his head, as he stored them within the storage device of his quantum bracelet.

Looking at Greg and the Fler's, he said

"I'll be going now!"

"Be careful!" everyone said, causing him to frown lightly, because one could put it into two different ways, with either him being careful to not injure himself or that he should be careful in order to prevent damaging the Ingredients

While sitting inside the shuttle, Jason thought about many things and one of them was, if Taurus, Greg's reinforced horned bull soulbond would be able to finish its evolution before the Big-Three tournament started, which was only two days away.

However, in the end, it was unlikely, because the evolution alone would most likely take longer than 24 hours, considering that Taurus' evolution would take as long as Scorpio's, even if that was hardly possible.

One beast was barely at the awakened rank, while the other was a mid-evolved ranked beast, to begin with.

As such, it might be possible for Greg to enter the tournament, while he had to adjust to the newly gained strength, which would most likely increase over the duration of the whole tournament, even if Jason couldn't be sure of this.

Once the shuttle arrived, Jason couldn't help but feel his heartbeat increasing, as he went through the security check, that eyed him weirdly, as they scanned his bag, only to perceive a cooling sensation from the multiple boxes within, while the scan told them, that high-grade herbs and plants were inside.

Ignoring their gazes, he continued to approach the reception in order to rent an alchemy room, when he saw the same receptionist as always.

She also noticed him and immediately adjusted her demeanor and politely inquired if she should request a high-blacksmith room because she remembered the same request last time Jason arrived.

However, hearing that Jason wanted to rent a basic-alchemy room, she couldn't help but eye him with doubt, as she nodded her head in order to follow the common procedures.

Once everything was finished, he received the number for his alchemy room, as he walked to the elevator with high expectations.
