So thats what the World and rules within it are. You can come in contact with them if you forge your ego gem following the steps I spoke of earlier. Since Cortney has been a good friend, I did not hesitate to introduce her to the Ego Gems and the world and the rules within it.

Wow, is this the power you and Corey used to fight in the semi-finals? It was so spectacular. I knew average cards can not give one such power. Cortney exclaimed in enthusiasm learning about Ego Gem, The World, and the Rules within it. And then early asked, Can you teach me to forge my Ego Gem? Pretty please.

Sure. For now, let me introduce you to the basic circulation method to refine your soul energy. This is a lengthy and tedious process once your Soul energy reaches enough purity. I will teach you the rest. Unlike Anna, who began by teaching me to find my Ethereal Spirit first, I taught Cortney to refine her Soul energy first.

My reasons behind this were obvious, once the Ethereal Spirit is found, it will ask to be fed with pure soul energy. If the purity of the soul energy is not high enough, the Ethereal Spirit will go on hunger strike. The repercussion of the Ethereal Spirit being hungry for long is very serious. Therefore I decided to teach Cortney about finding her Ethereal spirit after she refines her Soul energy to the required purity.

But I thought you said finding the Ethereal Spirit comes first. Cortney couldnt help but ask in confusion.

Yes, it is. But finding your Ethereal Spirit without soul energy with required purity has serious repercussions. Hence, I think it would be in your best interest to refine your soul energy to higher purity, and then you can find your Ethereal spirit. I did not go into detail to explain to Cortney and asked her to trust in me. Which she did without hesitation, like the simpleton she is.

Finding the Ethereal Spirit takes a lot of time. Therefore, others did not mind teaching their students first to find it. Having deduced how to create Viltronian Core, I have a way for Cortney to find her Ethereal spirit in no time, of course, with the help of my soul pupils. So I was not worried about Cortney wasting extra time on finding her Ethereal Spirit when I decided to teach her refining her soul energy first.

Thats all about the Basic Circulation Method. Why dont you try it? Remember, do not force it. It will take you time to get proficient with the technique and get some results. Cortney doesnt have a Soul energy manipulation cheat as I did, so it will take her a lot of time and practice for the method to show some results.

Okay, I will get to it. Cortney sat in the lotus position and began practicing the Basic circulation method leaving Bloodette and me alone in the cave.

*Suck**Slurp**Slurp**Suck* Umm. Bloodette was gulping down the blood candies one by one. Unlike the last time where she devoured the candy in one go, this time, she took her time to suck on each Candy and enjoy the aftertaste. This way, she did not trigger her promise with Cortney.

Hey, Bloodette, do you like the candies I made for you? I asked Bloodette a leading question, and it was obvious where I was planning to lead this conversation.

Like them? I love them. I cant have enough of them. Bloodette answered without thinking.

Is that so? Then why dont you make some more Sweet Blood candies? When talking to a child or stalking prey, one has to have enough patients.

I would, but I do not have monster blood required to make the candies. Replied Bloodette dejectedly.

I have some monster blood on me. How about this? I will give you monster blood in exchange for your Blood rule pill. Does that sound good to you? I am not ashamed of what I am doing right now.

Really! give it to me. Bloodette asked eagerly. Right now, her face was no less desperate than that of addicts.

Sweet, arent you forgetting something? Your blood candies. I reminded Bloodette of her part of the deal.

Here! Bloodette hurriedly created another set of 25 blood pills and handed them to me, and asked, Now give me the monster blood.

Here you go. Storing the 49 blood pills in my storage trunk card, I handed Bloodette the bottle of condensed monster blood I stored away earlier.

It smells so good. No! no! Focus! Blood candies are more taste. Bloodette barely managed to control herself from chugging the entire condensed monster blood. Instead, she used it as an ingredient to create blood candies.

While turning the blood into blood candies, Bloodette managed to remove more waste from it despite it being refined earlier by my Blood ego elemental. Proving how high her blood manipulation skill was compared to Blood swordsman. Bloodette could only produce 600 blood candies, whereas Blood Swordsman managed to make 1000 blood candies with the same amount of blood. Lesser quant.i.ty of blood candy in Bloodettes production was due to the extra waste she removed. Making Bloodettes candies better in quality compared to Blood Swordsmans candies.

*Glup*unrestricted by Cortneys promise for the new batch of blood candies she created, Bloodette opened her mouth inhumanely wide and gulped down all 600 candies at once.

I said nothing to Bloodette because this was good for me. The more Bloodetre cannot control her greed for the blood candies, the better for me.

Huh, they werent as sweet as the ones here. Having devoured all 600 blood candies, Bloodette complained.

I see what is here. You refined the Blood too much. In the processor refinement, it lost most of the sugar that makes the candies sweet and flavourful. Next time do not refine it so much. I advised Bloodette, having figured out the reason for losing the flavor and sweetness in the candy.

Oh, I see. Do you have more monster blood? Understanding the fault, Bloodette asked if I had more monster blood.

No, I answered truthfully as I had already been thrown the bait.

What? Dont be stingy. I can give you more of my blood candies. So could you give me the monster blood? Yes, the fish has successfully taken the bait.

I do not have any monster blood on me now. But if you require it, I can have someone get you more of the monster blood, maybe even of higher quality. But you know it will cost you. I patiently reeled in the fish.

Yes, do that. I will give you as many of those tasteless blood pills you want. Bloodette exclaimed in agreement.
