By the ti Ery had returned to Magus Xion's residence, the sun had already set on the western horizon, as the night announced its arrival. Therefore, Ery decided to not waste any more ti and imdiately dived into his nightly training.
Inside the familiar cubic room, Ery quickly cast his [Shadow Root Binding] spell, as his roots began to pursue the three thundermouses again. Channeling his energy and focusing his mind to controlling the spell, Ery was able to catch the little creatures if he targeted them one by one.
Using the number of roots he could currently control, Ery was able to catch them with ease if he surrounded one of the thundermouses from all directions and continued the process just like that. However, Ery still could not catch them altogether.
The reason Ery went through this training was to let him be able to concentrate multiple spells and control them as swiftly and precisely as possible. Hence, Ery released the captured creatures, as he was still unsatisfied and wanted to try again.
At midnight, Magus Xion visited the cubic room and told Ery to take a short break. While he was saying so, Magus Xion took out a small table, two chairs and a tea set, before proceeding to brew his favorite tea.
As he sipped the warm and fragrant tea before him, Ery told Magus Xion about his success in the exam. At the sa ti, Ery also spoke out about strategy for the third ga.
Ery wanted to discuss other ans of fighting besides using his spells. He wanted to know if he had other possible options, in order to increase his chances of winning even more.
"Master, you know I have the strength paste and the acid potion in my repertoire." Ery said, which earned him a nod from the magus. "What do you think about them, master? Will they be useful in the ga?"
Magus Xion was silent for a while, before saying with a smile, "Actually, I can't say for sure, Ery. It's really as everything goes: it might or might not be useful. The answer itself depends on your opponent. So, the most important thing is to understand your enemy and yourself, especially the latter."
Upon hearing that, Ery fell into deep thought, contemplating his master's words. After a while, he nodded his head, "I understand, master."
Ery then proceeded with his next question, "Ah, by the way, master. I heard the third ga will not be held in the virtual arena. Is that true, master?"
Magus Xion nodded slightly as confirmation, "Yes, but killing is strictly prohibited. If soone is killed, the perpetrator would be heavily punished."
"Wouldn't it still be dangerous though?"
"Yes, of course. But unless you instantly die, the academy has the facilities to bring your body back the way it was. It can even grow separated limbs. Unless..."
"Unless the injury causes you so cultivation trouble. If indeed so, then it will hinder you for the next round. Therefore don't let your guard down even when you are in a winning situation. If you are not careful, you will already lose the next fight before it could even begin. Do you understand?"
"Yes, master."
Upon hearing his master's reminder, Ery recalled that during the second ga, when he forced both his bloodline transformation ability and [Immortal Gate] battle technique to their utmost limit. Thanks to that, he was left with a chaotic spirit core after his body couldn't take the burden anymore.
If the sa thing happened again, Ery didn't even dare to hope he would get another of those fortunate evolutions in the middle of the battle. Lightning didn't strike twice in the sa spot.
Realizing Ery was absent minded, Magus Xion asked his own question, "How was your cultivation training in the origin stone room?"
Waking up from his contemplation, Ery was silent for a mont before releasing a sigh, "It took three and a half days to achieve a breakthrough in the plant elent. And to make matters worse, that is the elent I am most confident of, master. So, I'm not sure if I will be able to do the sa with my water and earth elents. They'll probably take much longer to break through. I need much more ti, sothing I don't have at the mont."
"Aah, you are right. That will surely beco a problem." Magus Xion said, while refilling his cup. "Your B aptitude really makes things much harder, Ery. Normally, if an acolyte's spirit power has reached their maximum, it will only take them one or two days cultivation inside the origin stone room to achieve a breakthrough."
Gloomy atmosphere enveloped Ery for a brief mont before he took out a brown box from his ring and showed its content to the magus. "Take a look at my reward from passing the exam, master."
When Xion saw the pill laying inside the box, his eyes imdiately lit up as a grin ford on his face.
"A Spirit Foundation Pill! Good! Very good!"
"I heard this pill could help in cultivation. Is that right, master?"
"That's right! It will help your cultivation trendously."
Magus Xion then explained about the advancent in the realm and the function of the pill.
All acolytes below rank 7 increased their cultivation using Spirit serum. The ti when the acolytes were still in the Spirit Condensation stage.
After reaching rank 7, the exact mont when the Foundation Core was ford, none of those spirit serums would be helpful anymore. Fortunately, this problem was sowhat resolved by the existence of apothecaries, the invention of pills and potions that could help in cultivation.
When Ery heard that, his eyes were sparkling as he asked, "Master, doesn't that an this is exactly what I need in my current condition?"
Instead of answering, Magus Xion took out a similar brown box from his storage ring and put it on the table. When it was opened, Ery could see the sa pill lay inside it.
"You will actually get yours when you enter the elite class after the Magus Gas end. However, I reckon you really need one right now. So, I purchased one for you right away. Who knew you would manage to get one already. It appears the lady luck is smiling at you, Ery."
Magus Xion then explained more about the pill, letting Ery know how precious this pill actually was.? The Spirit Foundation Pill was one of the most sought after items in the universe. It was also the reason why Apothecary Institute was one of the three main crafting paths in the universe.
"Ery, the pill is supposed to be used when you have already reached rank 7 and it's a waste to use it now, However, with your current aptitude problem and the fact the ga will start in 5 days. I believe you have to use one right away."
