Monster Integration

I did not immediately get out of my bed; instead, sort out the things I had to do for the rest of the day. It took me a minute to do that, and the first thing I did, of course, was to freshen up.

After I fished with that, I sat on my bed and closed my eyes; a moment later, I appeared in my core which filled with greenery and felt like a paradise. Though, there is a dark corner in the paradise, the pool of corruption, guarded by the runes of fire.

But to my exasperation, it did not stop Nero from going to that pool and swimming in it, as he is doing right now.

I shuddered at the thought of that, and if I tried to do something like it, I would die. It might not take even ten seconds for my body and soul to melt under the corruption.

It had been more than three months inside the core, but there was no sign of lotus; forget lotuses, I did not even see their buds out of the water. It is not surprising, as the stainless lotuses grow very slowly and the lotus trees are growing, I am keeping track of them.

Though with speed they are growing, it would take them decades or even a century before I see a complete lotus on the pool, and it would not be of the Grandmaster class, as I had found them in the sanctum.

As I had said before, their speed of growth is very slow, and if I want to grow them fast, then there is only one option; hunt the Grimms with bloodline.

I am sure that with the growing energy of the mysterious trees, it will grow fast, and I need to grow fast. The purification by stainless blood soul lotuses has helped me tremendously; one of the reasons subjects are improving so fast is the purification they had gone through.

I looked around my paradise before I walked into a den of sin, the winery. There is one important thing that had to do it here.

Soon, I reached the place, a room filled with wine bottles; there were five thousand bottles of wine around me. All the wine inside them had been crafted by me.

In my first attempt, I had been a little conservative and only crafted wine of around fourteen hundred bottles worth, but seeing how amazing the wine turned out to be. I did not hold back on my second attempt.

I had used nearly ten times my worth of ingredients in making the wine, and these ingredients were of a higher level than the one I had used in the first attempts.

At that time, the aralas grapes were barely of the Grandmaster class; this time majority of the main ingredients of the peak Grandmaster class included the grapes. This time, the wine would be even more amazing, and I planned to create a variation.

I moved my hand, and seven crystalline bottles appeared in front of me; the crystalline bottle contained nine blood-burning essences, and through it, I was going to create the blood wine.

The nine-blood-burning essence is extremly compatible with wines, and its effects could be multiplied when added with good alcohol; my wines are good alcohol, which provides a lot of benefits to the drinker.

The benefits that nine blood-burning essence provide would also increse as they merge with wine, and they would continue as the wine ages.

I put seven bottles into the slot of the artifact that had a shape similar to the boat; before placing seven hundred wines inside.

Like the seven bottles of nine blood-burning essences, more than half of these bottles have also been diluted to various degrees, so people of every Tyrant class could drink them without directly getting an unconscious one with a sip.

Zing!

I configured the settings in the artifact before activating it; as I did, the rows of wine bottles began to move.

Soon they appeared right below the crystal bottle, whose cap opened at the same time as the wine bottle, and a single drop fell off from the seven bottles and entered the seven wine bottles before they once again closed with the cap and moved away while other seven bottles took their place.

Within a few minutes, all seven hundred bottles had a drop of nine blood-burning essences; they would be ready to be drunk within a month when nine blood-burning essences successfully integrated themselves with the wine.

With that done, I begin to move more bottles in the artifact, three thousand to be exact.

The seven hundred bottles were of the first crafted; I have limited bottles of that. These three thousand bottles were of the second crafting; I have over ten thousand bottle stock. Till now, I haven't drank even a single sip of it, as there are still six months before they mature.

Zing!

I once again activated the artifact, and it again began to fill the bottles with a drop of nine blood-burning essences, but unlike before, only the undiluted drops were being used in the wines, as the wine is undiluted.

It took around twelve minutes before all three thousand bottles added the drop of nine blood-burning essences.

It is quite a risk; I took packaging the bottle before the wine matured and even added a drop of nine blood-burning essences. There is a chance that the whole wine might spoil, and that would be a great loss to me, considering the number of resources and effort I had put into crafting.

Though, I wonder if nine blood-burning essences drops will affect the maturity period of wine; it would be great if it would shorten. If the wine worked as the nine blood-burning essences had worked, then I am going to need a lot of it, and it would not just project subjects would need it.

Some pretty powerful people are also going to demand it.
