God´s Eyes

With his mindset on his first proper task, and excitement coursing through his veins, Jason felt fully energised.

He didn't want to return to the library or search for the cadets to spar against them at all anymore.

Instead, Jason wanted to create strong weapons with which he could earn a fortune, before using it to customise his soul world.

The thought that it was possible to allow his soulbonds to be entertained inside the boring soul world while being able to cultivate too, made Jason happy.

This was mostly because his soulbonds transmitted their joy to him, making him determined to start working immediately.

As long as his soulbonds were happy, he would feel the same.

Furthermore, with the possibility to create a place for his soulbonds to cultivate, their strength would increase at a rapid pace, which would in return, enhance his own strength too.

As such, he had even more reason to figure out whether his assumption was utter stupidity, or if it held some ground.

Thus, after he returned to the auxiliary tower, he entered the second floor where most tools to forge were situated.

The basement had one more room other than the library, but Jason was not really interested in exploring it, while the first floor was relatively simple and jam-packed with stuff Pera didn't utilize often.

Meanwhile, the second floor was the workplace for someone who wanted to practice any or all the three basic auxiliary occupations, while the topmost floor had multiple rooms to rest.

Jason had visited the room allocated to him only once, but instead of sitting idle in his room, he would rather focus on other things.

He had never really liked sleeping a lot, and being able to cultivate every minute allowed him to stay energised almost 24/7.

Nobody could say for certain how much sleep someone at his cultivation rank required, but Jason simply assumed that once a week was already a lot. Personally, he didn't feel like sleeping for more than two weeks in most cases.

Furthermore, with his interest rekindled, there was even less need to even think about sleep as he took out the preserved inscription solution, in addition to his inscribing pen which was formerly used by Dalia.

Jason thought of it as her heirloom and he wanted to try using it as long as he could until it would finally dull rendering it useless.

The potency of high-graded inscription solution would slowly corrode the inscription pen from the inside. Only a good inscription pen that had specific runes engraved on it while having been manufactured out of highly resistant materials would enable Jason to inscribe using specific solutions.

Fortunately, the pale golden inscription pen of Dalia was perfectly suited for his needs at the moment.

Unfortunately, that was not the case with Shane's forging equipment that paled in comparison to the smithy, anvil, and other tools he saw on the second floor of the auxiliary tower.

Pera had explained their perks and what he had to pay attention to while using them, some time ago, and it was evident that their value was tens, if not hundreds of times higher than Shane's equipment.

This was sad, but Jason could only acknowledge this fact.

Memories of his masters made him feel a little sad but he only smiled ruefully before entering the auxiliary tower's warehouse, where he searched for a small box in which he could preserve the inscription solution much better than the spatial ring could.

Jason didn't need anything else from the warehouse, and instead of wasting more time than necessary, he took out a few Tanadan ores that had the fire attribute within them.

They were the only ones he could use with the similar fire attributed inscription solution having a similar fire attribute which he had already prepared.

As such, he only had to forge the Tanadan ore into a suitable weapon into which he could inscribe the inscription solution.

With this, he could increase his forging proficiency, as well as the accuracy with which he could inscribe runes.

Before starting the forging process, Jason evaluated the forging equipment first, including the weight of the hammers, whether they had a unique effect, and what special features the anvil and chimney itself had.

The chimney appeared to be ordinary at first glance and Jason immediately compared it to Solaris' flame.

However, after placing the black flame into the chimney, this changed drastically as Solaris' abilities were seemingly enhanced to a certain extent.

This was great and allowed Jason to speed up the forging process by a large margin.

Heating up and expelling the impurities usually took the longest, but these processes were now accelerated.

This caused Jason to be happy, only for Artemis and Petri to transmit their joy that was seemingly fake.

Noticing this, Jason ordered the two soulbonds to enter the soul world, or he would postpone customising it.

Saying this worked wonders and they immediately left, while transmitting to him that he should stay true to his word.

Chuckling, he finally was ready for a long day of work. 

Starting to forge, Jason decided to create a longsword which required one of the large batches of fire attributed Tanadan ores he had at hand.

Heating it up took a while but the reduction process of the oxygen within the ore occurred faster than he could blink, leaving the raw metal behind.

Seeing this, Jason smiled lightly, only to shake his head afterward.

It seemed to be way easier than usual, but that was not problematic at all. Instead, it was extremely helpful and Jason felt at ease as he took out the heated-up Tanadan metal.

Using the medium-sized hammer he had found in the smithy, Jason used it while exerting the Hammer of Fire, Kyöldram forging technique he had copied some time ago.

He was far from perfect at utilising it, and had at most learned the basics, but he was gradually improving.

It was only a matter of time before he would become good enough to swiftly forge a great weapon that was further reinforced by the technique's uniqueness.

Thus he enveloped the medium-sized hammer with a faint layer of black flames, in addition to the neutral mana that was consistently released by the hammer itself due to the runes inscribed on it.

In the end, the runes inscribed on the hammer allowed Jason to put in less effort while exerting the same strength as if he was using a higher amount of physical force.

This decreased the brute force he would need to utilise, but at the same time, it caused him to be more careful about the amount of strength he applied.

He didn't want to destroy the mana veins that were intertwined with the other two veins, otherwise, he would have no option but to throw away the scrapped metal.

While slowly shaping the blazing hot metal into a lengthy rectangular bar, Jason was already focusing on expelling as many impurities as possible as it would take the longest to cleanse the whole Tanadan metal of every single impurity.

From the looks of it, there were more impurities in the ores with lower quality, and even worse, the positioning of the impurities within low-quality ores was extremely bad too.

As such, Jason figured out that higher-quality ores were simply better and convenient to forge and purify.

Despite that information, Jason figured that he could simply sell high-quality ores, or barter them with the same ore of a lower quality, only to get more in return.

Even if he thought like that, it was easier for him to say that he could easily purify the ores than actually do it.

The entire process was more arduous than Jason expected, and it took him three hours before he decided to stop.

He hadn't been able to purify the Tanadan metal perfectly, but it was already much better than his first attempt.

Thus, having progressed, made him feel relieved but Jason didn't want to be too full of himself.

As such, he stopped purifying before focusing on completing the forging progress of the fire attributed ore to the longsword.

This took three more hours, and painstaking effort, but the final result was worth it.

The bright red weapon was gleaming faintly as Jason inserted a faint trace of mana to test its capabilities.

While the mana conductivity was great, the amount of mana necessary to manifest a red flame that instinctively enveloped the sword was low.

It was greater than the amount of mana necessary with an innate affinity seed but definitely not too taxing for anyone to use.

This made Jason happy as he figured that he had forged a good weapon at the peak of the Lique stage!

Suddenly, as he was about to store away the longsword to make space for a new forging procedure, he saw something out of the corner of his eye that made him stop in his tracks.

'Did I just forget that I have a huge fortune sitting right in front of me?' He thought while cursing himself as he looked at the bulk of manuals inside his spatial ring.
