Jason's eyes were gleaming brightly, and his joy was noticeable even from thousands of meters away.

His aura was flickering wildly too, and all of this was just because he found a huge garden!

It had been hidden from his sight before, but now that he found a garden, Jason couldn't help but forget the items he had seen before.

There had been dozens of extremely rare items that had attracted his interest, but all of them were insignificant compared to what was in front of him at the moment.

His hands reached for the plants, as he brushed his fingers through the leaves and his brain received an influx of information that streamed into his mind, including the price of the plants.

This was an exceptional help, and Jason's bright smile widened even further.

After spending a few hours inside the garden, Jason became even more excited.

His brain was processing everything and Jason was already trying to put a plan together for what he was trying to get his hand on.

"The Pryr-/ Maest- or Spiral cricula Minatra flowers are exceptional...but quite expensive...does their scent really allow beasts of the respective cultivation path to circulate their cultivating energy through their body?

Isn't that like a drug, and harmful over a long duration, too?"

The cricula Minatra flower was what attracted Jason's attention the most. Through the scent it released, beasts were said to be able to cultivate faster.

At least that was what the information he received stated.

Furthermore, a maximum of three Minatra flowers of the same kind could work in sync to create overlapping effects and amplify each other.

Thus, Jason knew that he would have to purchase three cricula Minatra flowers of all three cultivation paths.

According to the information he was provided, each of them was priced at 33 merit points, but that shouldn't be too high, considering that they had already been on the brink of extinction when the Inheritance site had been constructed.

At least that was what the provided information stated.

Through this, Jason realised that they should have gone extinct by now, making him feel more inclined to purchase them.

However, Jason also knew that his soul world did not have a high amount of the three cultivating energies.

Everything came from the plants and inanimate objects that were intertwined with the energy after all.

As such, Jason had to actively increase the number or quality of plants that could release the energies, otherwise, the soul world's energies would just remain stagnant.

This was not necessarily bad, but rather counterproductive because Jason wanted his soulbonds to progress even faster than he could.

That was at least what he hoped would happen because he had seen it occur in the past.

Unfortunately, for such a scenario to occur once again, Artemis, Petri, and Spyro would have to be at the Prismar stage armed with several solidified prismarine crystals at that!

It would take some time, but Jason was sure that if he were to consistently customise and improve his soul world, his soulbonds would at least be able to keep up with him.

This was also the reason for him to purchase the cricula Minatra flowers despite deducting 30% of his merit points for barely 9 flowers.

However, what followed suit caused even Jason to feel a little bit sorry. After binding the flowers to his soul and planting them with the help of Spyro who could transform its body into all kinds of shapes, Jason used his Emperor Eyes once again.

Through this, he was able to find the most suitable young plants, including those with higher quality, or extremely cheap ones that generated a tremendous amount of Mana, Spirit force, or Primordial energy.

Jason was excited, and his plan was to use the remaining 700 Merit points to purchase all kinds of plants.

In his excitement, he had forgotten to even look at other objects he might require later.

Instead, he simply continued to customise his soul world, turning it into the best place to cultivate, he had ever seen.

Never could he have expected that the Inheritance site would be of such great help to customise his ginormous soul world. Thus, he was delighted to learn that even a single Merit Point was already enough to purchase a huge bush that radiated tremendous amounts of mana.

The purchases he made might not be enough to allow hundreds of beings to cultivate, but right now, he had only four soulbonds, one of each cultivation path, and Artemis, who was occupied with her evolution.

As such, each energy could be used by one soulbond alone!!

With that knowledge, Jason knew that he could stop with his shopping after spending a few dozen Merit points in total.

However, after realising that the cricula Minatra flowers' scent was even more potent than he had expected, his expenses skyrocketed as he bought more than intended.

Turning the soul world into a holy land for his soulbonds was the most important, and he wanted their strength to soar just like his own!

Given the extremely cheap prices the ancient plants had, how could Jason now know that he was making a huge bargain? It allowed him to receive something that would change everything about his soulbond's cultivation speed, after all!

He was not sure how much time had passed, but given his exhaustion and heavily aching head, Jason knew that he needed a break.

In the end, he had purchased more than a hundred plants, leaving him with just 10 Merit points.

It was an exceptional purchase, and Jason couldn't help but smile looking at the dozens of plants that were just waiting for him to plant them into the soul world.

The first thing he did after purchasing them was to bind them to his soul.

This had proved to be an extremely arduous task, exhausting him a lot, but owing to his soulbonds' demands, he was further forced to design the space according to their wishes.

Jason didn't dislike this, but it was a little bit of a hassle, considering that he was already exhausted.

Nevertheless, he paid heed to his soulbonds' wishes, only to slump to the ground when he couldn't move anymore.

Taking a break, he lay on the ground as his soulbonds reported the potency of the cricula Minatra flowers' scent to him.

Hearing the report was extremely motivating because Petri assumed that his cultivation speed would increase by at least three times, if not more.

Calling this exceptional was an understatement, and Jason couldn't help but feel overjoyed about his decision of purchasing the flowers that were the most expensive plants in the entire garden.

After what felt like an eternity, Jason had finally finished everything necessary, and the plants were all planted in the soul world.

The amount of cultivation energies exceeded the amount of energy required by his soulbonds overall, but that was no problem because his soulbonds would continue to grow, and require more and more energy to keep getting stronger.

As such, Jason was glad to have an excessive amount of generated energy, which meant that he wouldn't have to improve his soul world's state for quite some time.

After resting a little, he got up from the ground, as he mumbled,

"Now I should use the remaining coins to let myself be teleported as far from the Portal as possible...I don't want to encounter these annoying Preactors, after all." With a faint smile on his face, Jason mumbled, only to approach the mansion, where he had seen a simple sign with [Teleportation(Min 1 MP)] on it.

Jennifer didn't seem to have seen this sign before, but Jason's Emperor Eyes fortunately had.

Because of that, he hadn't been worried about anything at all, and the 'Min 1 MP' indicated that he could freely choose how many merit points he wanted to use.

As such, worry about his departure was the last thing on his mind. Rather, it was the only joy because of the massive purchase he made today, helping the cultivation speed of his soulbonds improve to a whole new level!

Through this, he allowed his soulbonds to catch up to his progress, or at least he thought so, and this was more than necessary because the dangers looming around him were much more than he could ever imagine!
