Almost everything about the technique that lay inside his hands was amazing, but the most impressive things were in fact two particular remarks.

[Remark: Mythic Essence Volume I can always be exchanged with other cultivation techniques.]

[Cautionary Warning: Mythic Essence Volume 1 requires an extreme degree of control over mythic energy; mana, superior Maest cultivation veins, very high pain tolerance, and free will.]

Jason found all of this already extremely interesting, however, there was also something else that piqued his curiosity.

[If two or three cultivation veins exist within the body, the practitioner is bound to sustain heavy injuries!]

Even if the other cultivation veins were not awakened, one would be unable to properly cultivate with the cultivation technique [Mythic Essence Vol. I].

As such, the technique was perfectly suited for Jason's current condition!

Because of that, he continued to read through the technique's first stage, only to lift his head when he realised just how strong the technique was.

Earlier, Jason thought that the difference between Heaven and Terra ranked techniques were little, but now, he couldn't help but ridicule himself to even think like that.

Shaking his head, Jason couldn't help but smile as he thought.

'As long as enough mana is in the surrounding area, It would be possible for me to accelerate my cultivation speed by multiple times'

The requirements were harsh, and Jason knew that only races with extremely strong cultivation veins would be able to cultivate in it, without injuring themselves.

This should be intimidating, but instead, Jason couldn't help but feel that the technique was perfect for him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't openly show the City Lord how he felt because she would only continue to nudge him, trying to convince him to enter Kinra Island.

The technique was the best one he had seen in his entire life, and it didn't even force him to continue cultivating using the technique permanently.

As such, he was obviously interested in it, even more so after he realised that it was one of the unique Heaven-Intermediate ranked techniques.

In fact, the prefix 'Unique' was added because the effects it had were comparable to a technique at a higher rank, only for specific factors to degrade it to the Intermediate grade.

Thus, the manual Jason was holding had to be at the Heaven-Advanced rank at the bare minimum!

It was odd for the City Lord to own such a technique that was solely focused on mana, so Jason couldn't help but eye her for a moment.

"Are you cultivating in the Mythic Essence cultivation technique?"

Because there was no need to hide it, the City Lord nodded her head as she nonchalantly answered,

"It's one of the strongest techniques I acquired in my entire life. You may have to endure unbearable pain, but the speed at which you can cultivate is extreme. The first stage is just the beginning, and once you become immune to pain, you should try cultivating in the second stage.

Not only will the Mythic Essence technique allow you to cultivate at a rapid pace but your mana will also be purified while your Maest cultivation veins will be strengthened because they will be pulled to the extent that they almost tear apart!

The technique is dangerous, but also the reason for how I was able to reach my current cultivation base, despite being a mutant, with only a Maest cultivation path!"

When Jason heard this he almost exclaimed, only to think inwardly, 'I thought she was not from Manyr?!'

Apparently, that was wrong, which made it even weirder for her eyes to appear as they did.

Furthermore, Jason would have expected that humans that had awoken the Maest cultivation path would be treated well.

However, according to her eyes that had a faint trace of sadness lingering within them, this had to be wrong.

'Maybe their traditions have now changed compared to a few millennia ago?' He wondered, not sure how old Luna was, let alone what the Aeus, Devirs, or Manyrs' tradition had looked like during that time.

When Jason had been inside the Neutral city, he had not been able to see the true potential of their tradition as it was restricted.

Other than that, he didn't even leave the manor most of the time because he had more than enough things to pay attention to.

The fact that she was willing to hand over the cultivation technique she was using for herself, indicated that she would give up a lot as long as he would come with Jennifer and the other cadets to Kinra island.

As such, he decided that it was only fair to listen intently to what the City Lord was about to say.

While waiting for her to voice out the reason she wanted him to enter Kinra island expressly, and what kind of inheritances existed on it, Jason tried to comprehend the facts he had already acquired.

'With that technique, I might be able to enter the peak of the Lique stage in a mere two months, while focusing on other things simultaneously'

This realisation was shocking, but at the same time, it clearly showed the City Lord's determination.

It didn't take long for Luna to start her explanation that was short but with everything Jason had to know for now.

"To be precise, I want you to follow Jennifer, and warn her about all kinds of dangers. There are hidden dangers inside the Inheritance sites, and someone who can see energy fluctuations should be able to detect most of them easily.

Your eyes are more important in places like inheritance sites than you might imagine, and your ability will come in handy if Jennifer has to face other opponents.

If you were to provide her with the necessary information, Jennifer will be able to know everything about her opponent, allowing her to create countermeasures before the opponent unveiled their trump card.

Other than that, I feel as if it's only possible to procure the Immortal Eye with your help. As such, I'm willing to lend you the technique I use, under the condition that you answer me one question!"

She didn't say anything about the inheritance sites, but instead, she handed him another file that looked similar to the first one.

However, this time it was thicker.

As such, with two files about Kinra Island Jason would have enough intel to make his final decision soon.

Considering that the City Lord asked him to follow Jennifer, he would be much safer than going alone.

She was amongst the strongest individuals that were allowed to enter Kinra Island, after all.

Thus, his reluctance dwindled to a certain extent.

Nevertheless, Jason didn't forget the fact that he and Jennifer could get separated on the island.

'With enough time before and while being at Kinra island while cultivating with the Mythic Essence technique, I should be able to increase my strength to a certain extent.

My solidified prismarine crystals should also be stronger than commonly found ones. I use unique mana drops to solidify them, after all!'

His reasoning was logical and quite simple at that. As such, Jason knew that if he were to enter the Prismar stage, with a single solidified prismarine crystal, he would be able to reach a much higher combat prowess than anyone else.

Additionally, the faster he was able to cultivate, the more minor seals he would be able to break, which was quite advantageous.

In the end, he had already found his answer, but with the imminent dangers of having a majority of peak Prismar stage beings in a land where everyone wanted to obtain an Inheritance for themselves, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit off.

Yet, just a moment later, Jason slapped his forehead as he called himself stupid.

'Since when did I start backing off in face of dangers...Aren't dangers the perfect place to overcome one's boundaries?'
