Chapter 942 - Jennifer's requirement
Jason didn't know the exact requirements for Solaris to evolve into a Tier-2 Origin flame, but what he was sure of was the fact that it were not only origin flames it had to devour.
In fact, Solaris had already devoured quite a few Origin flames, but that was not what had allowed it to develop the most.
Rather than the same type of flame, it had always been other flames that had helped Solaris the most.
Based on this observation, Jason believed that Solaris would require Origin flames and other types of unique flames to evolve.
This was quite a hassle as even low-ranked Origin flame crystals were hard to procure.
Yet, finding new types of flames was even more difficult as they were possibly even scarcer.
As such, Jason had decided to passively search for them while going out with Jennifer to roam through the shops.
While browsing through the shops, they could also get a rough idea on what kind of ingredients pulled Jennifer towards specific shops, how many of those items she required, and how expensive they were.
After this, it was possible for them to make a rough plan on how to proceed further after he was to receive the rewards for his mission.
However, before all of this, Jason had to figure out what had happened during the last few days as the trap of the Soul Monarch was not as simple as it might have seen.
After all, the Soul Monarch had been willing to accept the destruction of his Soa crystal mine, the only place he had that provided him withSoa crystals.
This restricted the Soul Monarch quite a lot, and it made things much more difficult for him, under the circumstance that he was in desperate need of the Soa crystals.
Jason was not sure if that was truly the case anymore after the Soul Monarch had willingly sacrificed the mine, just to attempt killing a few Specta stage cultivators and the youngest Elite of Yinar.
Despite racking his brains, he couldn't understand what the Soul Monarch was playing at and what was his true motive behind all of his actions so far.
Yet, the first thing Jason had to do was to take care of his soulbonds.
After all, Petri tied him and Jennifer together, while Artemis was starting to get annoyed at them.
She used her beak to try piercing through Petri's scales, which didn't work all that well.
However, when she started using her talons and her ice affinity, Petri finally sensed that Artemis had had enough of him.
Thus, he let go of Jason and Jennifer, who sighed deeply.
The plumage that had covered their face for nearly fifteen minutes had been quite a hassle with feathers poking into their eyes and nose.
As such, once they were freed they could breathe normally once again.
This was relieving and gave Jason the opportunity to finish washing up, and put on a new set of clothes.
From the way the surroundings looked to Jason's sight with the Emperor Eyes, they were still in Niarn.
Jennifer proved this to be correct, and after speaking to her for a few minutes, Jason also got to know that they were sleeping in one of the places that were specially reserved for special guests of the Yinar race.
It was the best place for them to stay as nobody would disturb them, which was the most important for Jason to recuperate from his unique state.
"None of the Yinar understood how you were still alive after defeating three Peak Ascendion stage wandering souls. From the way you used your energy, you must have utilized more than tens of times the amount of mana you are ought to possess as an Initial Ascendion stage Cultivator!"
Jennifer stated this with a small smile on her lips and a rather proud expression.
She knew almost everything about Jason, including the fact that his liquefied mana had been compressed of three times more mana than what one usually required.
Following that, his prismarine crystals were also four times stronger than ordinary ones, only for his stigma, the God's Halo, and his secondary bloodline awakening to provide him with even more strength.
There was also an important factor about his other traits.
However, the Yinar only knew little about Jason.
As such, they had been utterly shocked to witness that Jason was just unconscious after everything he had done and not dead which should have been the case for someone at his cultivation stage.
Following that, during their travel back, Jennifer had been oddly calm, while taking care of Jason as if she knew that he would wake up soon.
She was not even astonished to see that Jason's wound on the lower part of his back had been fully healed after they arrived in Niarn six days later.
Only the Yinar were stupefied as they had believed that Jason would stay unconscious for at least a month, and most likely spend the rest few months in a coma.
However, defying all odds, he had woken up for a second, only to fall into a deep slumber.
This was something Jason didn't recall, but according to Jennifer it had happened.
In the end, the Yinar were quite interested in him, which was mostly owing to his talent as it was simply phenomenal.
If Jason were to change his sides, they would have to encounter a fearsome enemy.
Because of that, they had decided to report everything that had happened in the Soa crystal mine to the City Lord of Niarn, who was supposed to make further decisions.
After all, the biggest problem was that none of them had solved their mission, which was to reclaim the Soa Crystal mine.
It was impossible to do this now as the entire mine had turned into a huge crater that caused the surrounding energies to decay.
In the end, Jason and Jennifer had fulfilled the missions they had received from Elder Ben, but at the same time, he had misjudged the fact that they had also accomplished the task of reclaiming the mine.
As such, the rewards Jason imagined to receive would be halved.
Fortunately, he didn't know what kind of rewards he would receive as it wouldn't make much of a difference.
After all, he had saved everyone, which was something Jason didn't really realize at the moment.
If he hadn't said anything about the trap, everyone would have died in the explosion, including him, the strongest Yinar that had been present, and Jennifer!
The life of his soulbonds and Jennifer was far more important to him than any reward.
Because Jason didn't really realize, or care about the heroic act he had done owing to his instincts, including saving the two young Elite of the Yinar race, he was confused about the gazes that lingered on him when he and Jennifer left the house.
Walking through the streets became difficult as every single person stopped whatever he or she was doing to stare at him which was quite confusing to Jason.
Yet, when others saw him, including his appearance, they seemed to recall him from all the rumors that had spread throughout the city.
In fact, there were numerous rumors widely circulated through the entire City, but Jason's deeds were the only good rumors, while the other rumors and even known information were quite depressing, if one wanted to put it lightly.
After all…the Soa crystal mine was not the only trap of the Soul Monarch, and neither the only place that had been sacrificed by him in order to get rid of the Yinar race's future prodigies!
However, this was something Jason had yet to get to know as he was strolling through the city, holding Jennifer's hand, while Artemis tried to use her weight to separate them.
She sat on top of the two hands, attempting her best to separate them without injuring any of them, knowing that Jason would be angry at her the moment she injured either him or Jennifer.
Thus, while trying to proactively prevent the love between the two of them to further blossoming, Artemis had to be careful as well.
This was quite frustrating, but after everything she had witnessed, it was impossible for her to keep staying idle about what they were doing!
Yet, while Artemis was behaving like a diva, Jason and Jennifer were calmly speaking about her requirements for the True Soul awakening as they went into one shop after another, looking out for the items that pulled her towards the places they went.
However, even after they went to all shops, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit odd.
"Why…are all of these items so…cheap?!
