Jason was astonished to figure out that Scorpio evolved straight into a beast that can reach the Magical rank, without any intermediate evolution.

But there was something only he knew, which was the only thing that plummeted his mood slightly

Even though Scorpio was only an Incomplete radiant-sapphire scorpion right now, it had the potential of an unblemished ranked beast.

This meant, even if Scorpio evolved, it could at most reach the peak Unblemished rank, without having its mana core cleansed once again.

Nevertheless, figuring out that his second soulbond already reached such a high evolution from it initially being a three-star wild miniature Parascor.

Jason only fed it the holy-white bacuri fruit in order to enhance the potential to the awakened rank and now Scorpio already reached the potential of an Unblemished beast?

He couldn't believe what he saw and Dalia said, while his storage device had only a bunch of high-graded mana stones left.

Dalia´s special constitution was extremely beneficial, but the resources it required were even more terrifying and Jason was unsure how long it would take for him to enhance Scorpio higher than his current potential, as the demanded mana only increased exponentially.

But rather than focusing too much on that, Jason had other issues as collecting a huge amount of mana stones in order to cleanse Scorpio´s mana core even more.

Doing so would be a waste of time for now and rather than doing that, Jason would have to collect funds in order to purchase the required materials to evolve Scorpio.

Additionally, there was Artemis, who he had to feed magical ranked mana cores, which were also expensive.

In the end, Jason was in a dire need of funds, and forging weapons would be the easiest way to provide him with that as he looked at Shane with his eyes that spread from dire need.

Shane also figured out that Jason´s fortune would diminish extremely fast after the mana core cleansing, but figuring out that his disciple also had to provide his second soulbond with high-graded magical treasure would end up with a large hole in his little disciple's wallet.

Noticing Jason´s gaze, Shane only nodded lightly, before adverting his attention back to Dalia, who looked weak, yet energized.

Thinking about ways to improve his financial issue, Jason also thought about the Big-Three tournament which rewarded the top students with many rare and more importantly, expensive magical treasures, he could batter or sell in order to receive the things he needed.

Meanwhile, Scorpio felt uncomfortable because of Dalia´s gaze, as he ran back to Jason, only for a green-blueish magic circle to appear below it.

Entering the soul world, Scorpio felt immediately better as the soul world was his home, that no stranger could infiltrate.

The only problem he had inside the soul world was the terrifying and eerie aura, radiating from the Black Origin flame, causing Scorpio to feel weird and uncomfortable, the closer he came to it.

As long as Scorpio maintained a certain distance to the Black flame in the center of the soul world, everything was fine and fortunately for him was that the soul world was vast, providing more than enough space to stay.

It was still early in the morning and after Dalia´s curiosity was mostly satiated, she provided Jason with the materials required to unseal a non-elemental Magical ranked bloodline for the Fler´s to collect them.

She didn't care if others find out what ingredients exactly were needed to unseal Greg´s soulbonds bloodline, as the method to concoct everything together was only in her mind, while many other high-ranked beast-creators might use different approaches to unseal a non-elemental beast´s bloodline.

Reading through the list Dalia sent him, Jason figured out that he knew most of these materials, but their price was astronomical due to their scarcity.

`Well… It seems as if the Fler´s have to suffer for some time now.` He thought while smiling dryly, as he noticed since a few weeks ago, that Mark and Gabriella were at home all the time, not minding to hunt or catch any beasts in order to gain credits.

This would most likely change now as the Fler´s would have to work hard in order to provide Greg with some financial aid.

If they didn´t provide any financial aid to Greg, it would take years for him to gather enough funds which would decrease his overall progress by a lot.

Even with their help, it would probably take a few months to gather the funds.

Suddenly, Jason noticed that he received another list from Dalia, and the content written inside the file were magical ingredients that were even more expensive, causing him to frown deeply.

Sighing out, he immediately knew that the second list of magical ingredients was required for Scorpio to finish his evolution, instead of staying incomplete.

From his initial 1000 star notes, Jason used 300 in order to purchase new self-cleaning clothes, magical ranked mana stones, and much more, while the mana stones he had were redacted to 5% from their prior mountain.

Even so, it would still be enough for him to hasten up his cultivation process if wanted or for Scorpio to absorb it in order to strengthen itself for quite some time.

As such, Jason wanted to use only 500 star-notes from his funds at most, in order to purchase the high-ranked magical ingredients, which was roughly half of what he most likely needed to obtain everything needed.

As such, there was still a need of 500 star notes or 50.000.000.000 Credits. 

Thinking for quite some time, Jason wondered how much he could receive from a perfectly purified grade-1 bar or even a quasi-mana weapon, as he opened the online shop in order to start a small research.

For one of his quasi-mana peak-grade-1 dagger, Jason could receive roughly 500.000 credits, due to its status as a quasi mana weapon.

If it were a real mana weapon, its damage output and even more so the price would soar tenfold if not more.

Calculating with his current capabilities, Jason could forge a quasi-mana grade-1 weapon rather easily within four hours without accident.

But even so, Jason´s mood was extremely bad, as he continued his calculation

`If I have to produce 10.000 weapons like my dagger, I´ll need 40.000 hours or 1.666 days, without any sleep!!!!!` "NOOO!!" Jason cried out attracting Shane´s attention, as he saw his terrified gaze.

Smiling knowingly, Jason immediately figured out that Shane felt with him, which didn´t mean he would supply him with financial aid.

Rather than that, Shane wanted Jason to grow stronger faster and one had to fail in order to stand back up.

Without failure there won't be success and Shane was sure this challenge would be important for him to overcome.

Jason could also take an easier path, by selling a large number of herbs and ore he stockpiled, but this would be too easy and hinder his future progress. 

As such, Shane didn't say anything at all, while holding Dalia who was also aware of Jason´s current thoughts.
