When one reaches the magus level, sleep becos an optional activity. However, for thousands of years, apothecaries have struggled to find dicines that can heal ntal exhaustion as effectively as good quality sleep. There were a few high-grade pills or divine ingredients that could instantly heal such conditions, but none could match the rejuvenation of sleep, an activity that cos at no cost.
After the exhausting soul battle, Ery felt he could sleep for two days straight to fully recover. However, knowing he still had imdiate matters to address, he allowed himself only eight hours of sleep—just enough to alleviate the pain from the battle. Once he felt sowhat refreshed, he swiftly returned to his Magus Domain.
His first act was to visit his companions: Twik and the Chizpur brothers, at the Chizpur village. He was relieved to see that they were all recovering well. Twik was in full health, while the five brothers were still weak, fortunately, they showed no concerning side effects from their spirit attack.
While visiting the plant creatures, Livi the Baphot appeared next to Ery. "Master… what about ? Aren't you worried about ?" she asked, her eyes full of expectation.
Ery smiled and complinted her. She had proven her value and even more so, her loyalty by protecting him. Understanding her needs, Ery took out a pouch filled with her favorite food: [Blood Grass]. These tier 5 materials were the beast's favorite delicacy. Livi's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly consud the one million spirit stone's worth of materials in seconds.
Excitedly, Livi shared so good news with Ery, and together, they teleported to the caves where the [Shadowfla Bees] hives were located. Ery's eyes widened with satisfaction as he saw the glowing hives. There were now a total of 16 hives, aning four new queens had erged and started to create their own colonies. This developnt was partly due to the bees devouring Ramos's flas during the battle.
Ery couldn't help but feel satisfied with their rapid growth, which would further boost the production of their tier 4 [Ivy Fla Honey]. While he was at it, Ery went to check his losses and gains from the battle. Aside from the 25 million spirit stones he had given to Magus Yord, the only significant loss was the broken tier 7 construct. Fortunately, most of the high-grade tal was not lost, so Ery only needed to wait until Master Borin was available to repair the device.
As for the gains, they were all stored in a separate chamber. Ery walked into the chamber and saw a dozen adult Chizpurs diligently working, dissecting the collected beast's remains. These were primarily from the lizard beasts that had co with the first tide.
"ku ku.. kuang kuang"
The Chizpurs ticulously separated the valuable materials: the lizards' durable hides, their razor-sharp teeth, and their tier 6 toxic glands. The room buzzed with activity as they processed dozens of corpses. Ery estimated it would take them at least 2 to 3 days to complete the task.
Surveying the room, Ery felt a sense of accomplishnt. The Chizpurs' efficiency and the sheer volu of valuable materials would greatly bolster his resources. He made a ntal note to reward the diligent Chizpurs once their work was done.
In the next chamber lay the captured King Gold Roc. The magnificent creature, despite its weakened state, emanated a powerful and majestic aura. Seeing the severity of the Roc's injuries, Ery approached cautiously.
He extended his hand and began to cast a healing spell to stabilize the giant Roc, nding torn flesh and knitting together broken bones. Ery could see the imdiate effect of the spell as the creature's labored breathing eased and its wounds slowly began to close. Despite its weakened state, Ery was acutely aware of the Roc's latent power. He decided to keep the ancient desolate beast in chains, to suppress the Roc's strength, ensuring it couldn't pose a threat until Ery figured out what to do with it.
After making sure all the imdiate matters were set, Ery ca to visit his new prisoner once again.
"You coward!! Fight if you dare!!" Mo Yan's voice rang out, filled with rage and defiance.
In the past 8 hours, Chututlu had continuously engaged in soul battles with the captive, a total of 8 battles resulting in 8 victories. Despite this relentless onslaught, the grand magus still had enough strength to be furious. His resilience was impressive, a testant to his formidable soul power.
To gauge the true impact of these battles on the level three spirit master, Ery used his [Soul Walk] skill, entering the spirit realm to confront Mo Yan directly.
The two engaged in a series of clashes. Each confrontation was intense, a clash of wills and strategic maneuvers. Ery felt the benefits of his eight hours of rest, which had significantly bolstered his ntal fortitude. He remained dominant throughout the dozens of clashes, his spirit unwavering.
As the battles continued, Mo Yan began to grasp the dire situation he was in. Realizing Ery's intention and the futility of his resistance, he decided to negotiate.
"Release ! And I will consider giving you what you want,"
Ery ignored Mo Yan's pleas and continued to fight. Under these conditions, it had beco a one-sided battle, and Ery rcilessly beat the hunchbacked old man's soul into submission.
"Alright... I will give you what you want… but you must release ," Mo Yan finally said, his tone was much more polite.
Despite the shift in Mo Yan's deanor, Ery remained unyielding. He ignored the plea once again and beat him rcilessly. When he thought it was enough, he kept the beaten soul, imprisoned before erging from his Magus Domain.
Standing up from his lotus position, Ery walked to an empty corner of the cavern. He took a deep breath, then laid Mo Yan's corpse on the ground. As expected, the body itself held no valuables as most grand magus carried their treasures within their apertures.
This was precisely why Ery had extracted Mo Yan's body.
Utilizing his spirit reading ability, Ery detected a concentrated lump of energy on the solar plexus. With a deft motion, he extracted this energy and threw it into the empty space of the cavern. The lump of energy seed to suck the air around it, rapidly expanding into a massive cloud of dark smoke.
As the smoke swirled, it began to take form. Before Ery's eyes, Mo Yan's aperture revealed itself, a sprawling, intricate realm filled with the grand magus's possessions.
"Now, let's see if I can get inside."
