[Spirit force increased.]

As he once again restarted his training process in the Khaos Space, a realization dawned upon him; It had been a little over four months since the battle of Camelot occurred.

In that amount of time, he managed to increase his spirit force by 150 points, successfully reaching the milestone of 800 points of spirit force.

With his current absorption ratio of 1:1 per day, Emery would need at least 200 days to reach 1,000 points of spirit force. Not to mention, that number still had not factored in the increase in difficulty he would need to face as his spirit force gradually increased.

This meant that the number would not be able to add up fast enough. If the increase in difficulty was also factored in, it would probably take him about seven months or more. It would be a fortune already if Emery could somehow reach 900 points of spirit force before the recall that would happen in roughly 5 months.

Thinking of his current predicament, Emery asked the dragon if there was any other way to increase his absorption rank. However, instead of giving him a definite answer to his question, the dragon cursed at his lack of talent like always. He did not even give him a vague answer or a hint.

With no other solution, Emery needed to manage his expectations.

From the looks of it, reaching rank 9 in that short amount of time would not be a possibility, so he needed to use his time wisely. Not only that, but Emery also needed to think of other ways to increase his strength other than just by increasing his spirit force.

To excel in the Magus Academy, he couldn't depend on his strength alone

With this in mind, every week from this day forward, Emery would spend a day out of the seven to relax his spirit core and take care of his next best thing; the apothecary.

As much as he wanted to, he could not spend too much time making new recipes that most likely would not matter much as Earth mostly had tier 1 and 2 ingredients.

Emery then took out his main recipes.

[Healing Paste - Tier 1 originality rank 2]

[Strength Paste - Tier 1, originality rank 3]

[Cleansing Potion - Tier 2, originality rank 2]

All three of them had been perfected many times over already, so their practicality was guaranteed. Even so, Emery knew that even if that was the case, these potions still would not mean much in the academy. Because of this, his main potions would be the other three instead.

[Acid Potion - Tier 2, originality rank 3]

[Gaia Serum - Tier 1, originality rank 1]

[Fey Gene Booster - Tier 2]

For the Acid Potions, he was confident that there were no other ingredients in this world that could add to the powerful acidic attribute the Caracas plants would bring, and there was not much he could do about it.

The Gaia Serum had a lot of similarities to the yellow potions that he previously received from Master Grom. This Gaia Serum was quite valuable. After all, it could strengthen a low-rank acolyte with extremely low risks, almost none, attached. Due to this, the Gaia Serum was the first potion he chose to make and improve.

Although he also did these things, he only planned to create enough serum to receive contribution points or exchange with spirit stones. His main priority was still to strengthen himself, therefore, other than the Gaia Serum, his other priority was to make and perhaps improve the Fey Gene Boosters.

Unfortunately, without the heavenly fruit as a strong reagent, Emery was only able to use Gaia Essence as a replacement. Although the effect was still apparent, this replacement led to a huge downgrade in the quality of the booster.

[Fey Gene Booster - Tier 1, 100% potency]

The high priestess was kind enough to get him a considerable amount of Gaia Essence. Thanks to that, he could immediately start making more and more of the Gaia Serums as well as the Fey Gene Boosters.

When he was about to run out of the [Corrupted Lycanthrope], Emery would use his newly-enhanced spatial gate to teleport himself to the stone formation he prepared at the three claw island to get some more.

It was a 250-mile-long jump.

Emery kept making more of the Fey Gene Boosters, and at the same time, he also began to drink the boosters weekly. He also made sure to also make some of those boosters for the four fey sisters to consume. After all, Emery believed that when the conflict with the Nephilims came, it would not only be him and his four friends that would be affected, but most likely everyone.

This was Emery's new routine; six days of spirit force practice in the Khaos Space and one day of making potions in the apothecary.

Before he knew it, with that consistent routine, days became weeks, and weeks soon became months.

[Spirit force increased.]

[Spirit force increased.]

[Your blood has gone through a purifying process.]

[Fey wolf gene essence percentage increased to 31%.]

After three months of time and about 20 fey gene boosters, Emery could tell that his booster had reached the maximum limit it could boost at 33%.

As for the Gaia Serum, Emery has successfully increased its potency by twitching its recipes and methods of concocting it. It was not an easy project as it require much creativity and perseverance. But in the end, he was able to increase the serum two ranks higher than before.

[Gaia Serum - Tier 2, originality rank 2]

He makes dozens of these serums and also gives them out to the fey sisters increasing their spirit force and acolyte rank to rank 6.

Emery also start keeping some in his spatial storage; he was hoping to get contribution points or spirit stones by trading these later in the academy.

Satisfied with such a result, Emery decided to stop doing his apothecary work and started using the one day he previously used to make and perfect the various potions to practice the [Dao Cultivation Technique], more particularly the [Dao Sword Technique].

Emery believed that if he could reach a higher stage of the [Dao Cultivation Technique], his absorption rate would also be able to increase in turn. Not only that, but perhaps he might even be able to receive a huge increase in his spirit force like the previous advancements.

[Spirit force increased.]

[Spirit force increased.]

A few more weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, a different piece of information came from the symbol of his palms. A message that Emery had been waiting for.

[You are invited to join the third year in Magus Academy.]

[Duration: One year]

[The recall spell will activate in 30 days.]
