After spending several days collecting more ingredients and blood genes for the Fey sisters as well as High Priestess Nimue, Emery had managed to create more [Gene Booster] potions.

Thus, at the moment, Emery could be seen downing those potions one by one.

​​

[Your bloodline just went through purifying process]

[Genes purified]

[Fey Wolf gene essence percentage increased to 24%]

Emery smiled wryly at the notification appearing in his mind, showing he received an increase of one percent. It seemed his luck was running out, but he certainly would not stop there. After all, he still had more potions he could consume.

Emery took another one and devoured it in one gulp. The next second, he could clearly feel a burning sensation happening throughout his body. The sensation was apparent, but wasn't so painful that he wanted shout his lungs out. After a while, a familiar sequence of notifications appeared in his mind.

[Your bloodline went through a purifying process]

[Genes purified]

[Sense sharpness increased]

[Stamina increased]

[Regenerative abilities increased]

Emery received all these messages that told him all the strengthening he got, but there wasn't a notification that stated an increase in his Gene Essence percentage.

It took him another potion, which was also the last of this batch, before Emery could finally get the notification he was looking for.

[Genes purified]

[Fey Wolf gene essence percentage increased to 25%]

Unfortunately, Emery had no more potions to drink.

He can't keep asking for more blood from the Fey sisters and the High Priestess for the potions. Not only would he feel uncomfortable from doing so, he also had a lack of the potion's main ingredient, the Caracas Flower.

Hence, he wouldn't be able to make any number of said potions for quite some time. It would probably take a few more months for the Caracas Flower to bloom and be ready to harvest.

Emery also believed the current Tier 2 Gene Booster potion with 70% potency had already reached its limit. He would have to find a solution to increase the quality of the potion.

One of the ways to do so was to have the gene blood sample of that witch, Meave. Thus, Emery just got more reason and motivation to catch the witch.

In the end, Emery set aside those thoughts for the future and went ahead to check the status of his bloodline.

[Bloodline Gene – Fey Wolf]

[Gene Classification – Legendary Bloodline]

[Bloodline Limit : Rank 6]

[Current Rank]

[Rank 3 -The Fey Warden ]

[25% Fey Wolf Essence ]

It was said that when his bloodline gene essence passed the 30% milestone, Emery would be able to evolve his bloodline to Rank 4, and when that happened, he could finally start using the ritual item given to him by the Wolf Patriarch.

Emery quickly activated his transformation ability and started doing laps around the woods for a while.

He was surprised as he felt his newfound power. It turned out his new purified blood gave a substantial bonus to his physical strength, as Emery could move much faster and feel his body much stronger than before. This deduction was also supported in the increase of battle power in his stats.

Other than that, the upgrade had also, unexpectedly, affected his spirit core. Emery could feel a deeper connection to the Plant element in the surrounding area.

Knowing all the Fey sisters had Plant in their list of elemental affinities, Emery believed this wasn't a mere coincidence. There must be a correlation between the Fey wolf and the Plant element; if he got the chance, he would probably delve into it in the future.

Now, as there was nothing else to do with his apothecary experiments, Emery decided it was time for him to return his attention to cultivation.

---

Once again, Emery was seen sitting cross-legged deep inside the Forbidden Forest, cultivating with the help of [Nature Grasp]. Faint green-colored light could be seen swirling around his body before being absorbed.

Moments later, a droplet of water suddenly landed on his head, as rain fell on the Forbidden Forest. Despite being drenched by the rainfall, Emery kept cultivating as if he didn't even realize what was happening.

Each water droplet that fell to the trees, branches, leaves, grasses and ground was connected to Emery, to the spirit energy that was linked to his spirit core. This brought a sensation onto him - one that couldn't be described with words.

It had been 6 months since he learnt the [Nature Grasp] spell and, with each passing day, Emery could feel his understanding of nature increasing greatly. Following it, was his cultivation.

Four months ago, Emery had managed to breakthrough into the high foundation stage in his understanding of Plant element. A month later, the other two elements of his, Water and Earth, also followed suit.

With all the remaining three elements he had reached the high foundation stage, it only took Emery a mere several days in the Khaos space to finally breakthrough and step into the next realm, becoming a Rank 8 acolyte.

This had happened 3 months ago.

Since then, Emery had an understanding or rather, a realization that, unless he cultivated his three natural elements, spending 24/7 in the Khaos space would only lead to another bottleneck like before. Therefore, he told Killgragah and tried to make the latter understand his point.

Surprisingly, even though the dragon looked annoyed by it, it had been a while since the former became strict on him. Seeing the dragon didn't change towards him, Emery believed it had hid something from him.

As for the last three months, Emery spent a month worth of time in the Khaos space, as well as in the wilderness, alternating between the two. In between, he also took well-deserved breaks - returning to the estate, tending to his garden, experimenting on his potions, and so on.

Emery smiled looking at the information came to mind when checking the symbol in his palm
