Appraising the fire attributed Tanadan longsword and the small pile of manuals didn't take long as Jule, the Aeus, was looking at each manual with a swift yet experienced eyes.

Most techniques' value was determined by the effect they had after entering the first stage, or second level of proficiency.

For someone who had a slow start but an extreme amplification in the late stage of practice, this would change if they utilised unique techniques.

Because this was not the case with the Tera-Basic techniques Jason sold, what took the longest to appraise had been the longsword that was a Mythical grade owing to its high purity factor and the combination of fire attributed Tanadan metal with a fire attributed inscription solution.

Thus, after only half an hour, the Appraiser was done, stating a price for everything.

"As you may already know, the techniques are not exactly powerful or have an extreme effect, increasing one's power by leaps and bounds after practicing.

Nevertheless, they have been written with an intent and energy imprint which means only someone with a high proficiency at said techniques can copy them.

With that in mind, the price for each Terra-Basic technique would be five small, Ascendion rank cultivation stones. You can freely decide if you want Mana, Pryr, or Spirit stones because all of them have an equal demand in Lanro city.

As for the fire attributed Tanadan longsword at the Mythical grade, the price would be three small-sized Ascendion stage cultivation stones!"

Listening carefully to the proposed price, Jason nodded his head without hesitation, as he was happy about the evaluation.

Cultivation resources were the currency that was mostly used on Manyr because everyone demanded them, and they were goods that would never lose their value.

In some areas, certain resources would have a higher, or a lower value, but that was simply because the demand was not high, or the supply simply too large.

Despite that, Jason was delighted about the three small Ascendion stage cultivation stones he received in exchange for his newly forged weapon.

It was much more than he had expected because he could forge it in a matter of several hours.

Thus, his funding issue should be solved rather easily.

Looking at Jule, the Appraiser, Jason smiled lightly before he asked hurriedly.

"That means, I have around 500 small Ascendion stage cultivation stones, right? Can I ask you to hand the Merchant a list of things I need or do I have to call the assistant again?"

Jason didn't waste any time and straightforwardly asked the Aeus if she could help him out.

It was not much and she would be on her way back to the merchant, either way.

Because of that, he thought that it was useless to call the merchant again, and it would save time if he were to simply hand the Appraiser a list of everything he needed.

To start customising his soul world, Jason wouldn't purchase too many things, and simply change the interior of a small space near the soul world core.

A proper stone cave for Petri, a large tree with some greenery for Artemis, and a fireplace or something similar that Solaris liked wouldn't be too expensive, leaving enough to test around with mana and primordial energy-generating plants.

Jason had already jotted down quite a few, and the Appraiser looked at him, not sure whether he was making fun of her or not.

However, seeing the list in his hands, Jule could only smile dryly as she said.

"I can take the list with me, but you can use the messenger card to write a message to someone too. If you don't know how it works, let your conscience enter the messenger card, target the specific contact information you want to write a message to.

After that, a small field that looks similar to a piece of paper should appear in your conscience, and you should be able to write to the targeted party.

Once you receive a notification, the messenger crystal glows faintly in the upper right corner.

There is also the possibility that someone has deactivated the message function, but you will notice that then."

Hearing this, Jason was astonished because he didn't know about such a function.

Pera had probably missed explaining the function to him, but that was not a problem.

Thanking Jule for helping him, he handed her a list consisting of mostly ordinary materials such a mana-infused soil, small and large bushes, a large Unra tree, primordial energy intertwined stones in various sizes, and so on.

These things were not hard to find and cheap, only for the more expensive items to be written at the end of the list.

'Maloeran flowers? Hucarda bush...and a Paern tree? Does he want to create a cultivation environment?'

Despite her curiosity, the Appraiser didn't quiz him for the fear of coming across as rude and nodded her head before she bid farewell to Jason.

"I will take my leave now. We should have most materials on the list in our warehouse, but some of them may not be there. It will probably take a day or two until everything is prepared, I hope that is fine with Sir!"

Jason simply nodded his head because there was nothing wrong with waiting for a few days which was something he had expected.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help but say, "If possible, send the soil, and stones immediately. Thank you!"

With that being said, the Aeus took a note of Jason's wish before departing. After everything had been deducted, he still had more than 300 Ascendion stage cultivation stones left, but instead of keeping them for himself, Jason wanted the merchant to take them as credit, preventing unnecessarily annoying situations from occurring.

Having a credit of 300 Ascendion stage cultivation stones, he could purchase quite a few things, but at the same time, he could accelerate his cultivation pace drastically.

This was something he wanted to do, but at the same time, Jason required the funds, which was the reason for him to tell the Aeus to give him a credit for the sold goods instead of the physical cultivation stones.

Interestingly enough, it took only two hours before another woman arrived in front of the manor, as Jason received a message from the merchant assistant that the stones, soil, and a few other commonly found items he had purchased were delivered.

Thus, he left the library where he had decided to spend the wait time, only to tell the woman that ran errands to release the items right in front of him.

"Sir, I can also transfer them from my spatial ring to yours"

Jason found it amusing how excessively the young woman tried to politely tell him that she didn't need to drop everything out of the spatial ring, straight on the ground, possibly damaging some materials.

Nevertheless, Jason was not interested in that because his spatial ring was still overflowing with things, while the materials he had purchased were not important enough to bother about being slightly damaged.

The mana and primordial energy generating plants were not in this batch of delivered items after all.

Thus, after Jason told the young woman to take out the items once again, she followed suit before taking his leave.

Several small piles were created right in front of him, with one consisting of soil, another one of stones, and one more with all kinds of recently uprooted plants.

There was even a tree, and Jason nodded his head, approving the goods as he smiled lightly.

"Finally it's time for the customisation to start!" He mumbled as he released several soul threads from his body, shooting towards the materials in front of him.
