God's Eyes

Instead of taking care of the shop, where he could only absorb mana when nobody required his help, Jason had more things to take care of.

One was that he couldn't let his stockpile of goods decrease.

He had to refill them.

Without being able to do that, he might have a scarcity of goods sooner than he estimated.

As such, Jason decided to end the sale once the new week started.

The exhibited weapons were never on sale and he only had to increase the price for the perfectly purified goods.

His perfectly purified grade-1 bars were now priced at 250.000 Credits while he doubled the price for peak-grade-1 potions to 100.000 Credits.

With this increment, only stronger hunters or rich heirs inside the B-grade city would enter his shop and purchase something.

However, that was what he planned since the beginning.

As such it was better if he increased the price as soon as possible before someone became too accustomed to the old prices!

With that in mind, the week passed, without anything serious happening.

His shop's sales on Friday increased and Jason sold all, several hundred Unblemished-ranked beast corpses for 20 million credits too.

After that, he started to forge perfect purified grade-1 bars at an extremely fast pace which he could only do thanks to his strengthened black origin flame and high proficiency he attained after doing the exact same procedure for several months.

While forging, he was also passively absorbing mana, while the sub-area inside his mind was doing the same.

Jason was glad to have been able to split his mind into the main area and one sub-area because it helped him a lot, even if it was a painful memory lingering in his mind.

However, there was no gain without pain in the cultivation world because almost everything hurt somehow.

Practicing the Heaven's Hell technique was painful and under normal circumstances, the same applied for body refining.

Fortunately enough, he had the black origin flame which helped him to soothe pain instead of spreading pain through his whole body during the body refining process.

This made Jason happy and he was thankful to have obtained such a unique treasure, without much effort.

During the weekend Shane brought him to the abandoned lands once again, where Artemis and Scorpio were told to hunt other beasts without sustaining injuries.

While his two soulbonds were following his instructions and slowly improving their combat experience, Jason took out his portable forge from the spatial ring after he found a good position to set up his open forging place.

Shane decided to remain next to Jason to take a look at his forging process and at the same time to prevent other beasts or other things to distract him from forging.

Creating perfectly purified grade-2 bars was not easy and being distracted during the process was not great as it might be the cause for the bar's mana veins to get damaged.

But that was not Shane's sole reason to follow Jason in the abandoned lands.

Not only did he want to see his disciple's progress and how to help him to improve in a matter of a few days.

He also wanted to escape from Dalia who started to spoil Emily with cultivation resources.

Dalia began to teach Emily about all kinds of things that she didn't know before too.

The orphanage neglected their duty and didn't taught the orphans very well.

Escaping from the two women, Shane was glad to be with Jason whom he could teach in his rough manner without the need to bear Dalia's complaints later.

In the end, Jason was sure that he didn't need Shane for the current procedures he was doing but Jason also felt pity for him, even if he was not sure why exactly.

Nevertheless, he only perfectly purified the grade-2 ores that were the most common and easiest to shape and purify with his black-origin flame.

As such, there was no need for Shane to explain everything to him and he would only need his help in the weapon forging process.

After forging his first mana weapon, Jason thought a lot about what he could improve and with Shane's help he finished three more mana weapons until the weekend was over.

Other than forging, he also practiced the Heaven's Hell technique at least once a day absorbed mana, and refined his physique.

In his breaks, he searched and gathered the carcasses of several hundred beasts which Artemis and Scorpio killed, only to notice that there were still not many mid-Unblemished ranked beasts among them.

However, compared to a week before, his two soulbonds didn't sustain any serious injuries and there were only a few shallow cuts that already stopped bleeding.

Thus, Jason couldn't be dissatisfied with the result as he caressed Artemis and Scorpio after all corpses were stored inside his spatial ring.

In the beginning, Jason asked himself if someone would notice that he was hunting beasts inside the abandoned lands, but Shane only said that the abandoned lands were at least a quarter of the whole island and that there were beasts in abundance.

Nobody would even notice that so many beasts died in a few days.

The only good thing about the abandoned lands was that they was a border between the beast- human territory if one were to call either of them like that.

Humans couldn't live in the abandoned lands while most beasts were able to survive there.

For them, it was probably even more dangerous to live close to cities than inside the abandoned lands.

As such, Jason could only nod his head and think that the rules of the jungle applied in the abandoned lands.

He felt like a hypocrite as he thought about the Earth Dragons right now, but there was something substantially different in his mind.

His mindset told him that it was fine to hunt beasts openly in order to defend himself or even to make a profit out of it.

On the other side, he felt that torturing beasts were something entirely different.

It was just cruel and unnecessary.

Either one subdued or killed a beast to obtain something, but torturing needlessly felt wrong to Jason.

He knew that others called him a gullible, stupid hypocrite but that was not something he bothered about after witnessing how placid wild beasts like the tornado wolf mother and Earth Dragons could be.

This might be because of his benevolent and kind aura which he released according to the Earth Dragon mother's transmitted memories, but that was exactly why Jason acted slightly differently to beasts than other humans.

Shaking his head, Jason regained his composure before he continued to listen to Shane's short lecture about things he could improve after they arrived at home again.

Shane didn't even bother to search for Dalia because he was sure that she was with Emily and both he and Jason just sat down on the couch, while Scorpio laid next to them, sleeping, with Artemis on his head barely able to stay awake.

The last two days were even more exhausting than a week before because they had to use all their means to fight other beasts.

Driven by their desire to become stronger which they inherited from Jason through the fortified soul conjunction, both gave their best without holding back anymore.

Now that it was Sunday, late in the night, their remaining energy hit rock bottom and the only thing they wanted to do was to sleep.

Jason was still fully awake, and carefully listening to Shane's words that seemed to sound more serious than they normally did

"I'm not sure if you felt uncomfortable inside the abandoned lands or if there was something else bothering you, but your control over the black origin flame was not stable and sometimes it felt like you might even lose control over your flame!
