After being teleported to the treasury of the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant, Jason had finally been relieved from the pressure of passing the trials with a high passing score.
Now that he had 4489 Merit points too, he couldn't decide what to keep and what to let go as there were simply too many things he had to procure.
With such a high number of Merit points, even if the rewards were to be the same as in the previous inheritance site he had been, Jason wouldn't complain.
It would be a little bit sad, and his hopes were currently high owing to the information he had gotten to know about the Primordial races. Sadly, the rewards and their price were not something Jason could change either way.
Keeping that simple mindset, Jason began to walk through the treasury that resembled a gigantic city with various districts.
Each of them was dedicated to auxiliary occupations, the three main paths, and gardening, along with all possible unique traits one could awaken.
However, Jason couldn't waste his time marveling over the place.
Thus he picked only one thing from the warehouse where all materials were stored- An Immortal eye in exchange for a mere merit point.
Considering that the Immortal eye cost him a single merit point, Jason's rational thinking was paying off. He began to smile brightly, knowing that the treasure was much cheaper than he first imagined.
The expensive materials were something one would never find anywhere close to Manyr, and the same could even be said about the items that cost only 100 merit points.
Walking towards the large tower that had a huge book as its sign, Jason passed by several large stores that had all kinds of valuable items.
In fact, Jason was even able to find orbs with the souls of deceased beasts stored inside.
This was somewhat scary, considering that the souls had been stored there since the day the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant had been built.
Taking this into consideration, it was impossible not to feel sorry for them.
Yet, after looking at the price of most sealed souls, Jason could only frown before he averted his attention from them.
They were simply too expensive, and he didn't have enough merit points to purchase all of them.
Even if he were to purchase them, Jason couldn't be sure what would happen if he were to try binding the manifested soul of a being to his soul world.
It might be harmful if he was not strong enough, after all!
Sighing deeply upon realizing this, Jason could only keep walking, only to halt in his tracks every few meters.
Owing to his eyesight that had improved considerably through the enhancement of his entire body, specifically his eyes, he was able to see everything in the range of several kilometers down to the finest detail.
Inserting mana into his eyes would only further sharpen his eyesight, including the details of the energy currents he could perceive.
In the end, it was even possible for him to adjust the aspect with which his mana should enhance the Emperor Eyes.
This would allow him to nearly have an x-ray vision and see more of the deepest part of things that he was holding in his hands.
This was something Jason wished to try by taking a proper look at Solaris or Spyro because they were considered to be exceptional existences, the black origin flame less than the Spiral Spirit.
However, carrying an in-depth inspection of Artemis would be great because he wanted to see her mana veins, and get to know the truth behind her mutation.
Unfortunately, all of his soulbonds were currently in some sort of hibernation, accepting the tremendous enhancements they had received over the course of the last three months.
Jason felt similar to them, but he was currently too excited about the possible rewards he could obtain.
Furthermore, his brain was overflowing with the huge bulk of information he had yet to digest.
As such, there was no way for him to be able to sleep right now, even if his body was begging him to get a good amount of deep sleep.
Ignoring his body's pleas was possible for the moment, but the longer he forced himself to stay awake the longer he would sleep later.
But that was fine and not something he had to be afraid of, even less while being inside the treasury of the five Primordial races the Dungeon architects had created.
In fact, the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendants was the first, and also the last project the five Primordial races had completed together because they were said to not be on good terms with each other.
Jason was not sure why this was the case as the artificial intelligence hadn't given him the necessary information to figure this out, but that was more than fine with him.
For now, he didn't have to know why the Primordial races loathed each other to the extent that world-destroying wars had been fought.
At the same time, he was curious why these wars had been put to an end because there had to be a reason for both to start a war, and to stop it!
Thinking about the five Primordial races, Jason couldn't help but feel excited about encountering them because they had to be extremely powerful.
As such, he walked through the streets of the empty city, that was in fact the treasury, with a vibrant smile on his face.
While finding all kinds of treasures, Jason couldn't help but feel that the Primordial races were even more generous than he could have hoped for.
This belief strengthened when he checked the prices they asked for which were extremely low.
There were even materials at the Specta rank that cost only 10 merit points, which was an interesting sight.
'And Luna said that I won't be able to procure cultivation manuals above the Heaven rankif she knew where I am, she would probably faint, right?'
Thinking about the City Lord, Jason wondered how she was doing, and he had the same doubt about Jennifer.
Somehow, he had thought about Jennifer more often than he first imagined.
It was nothing new for him to be separated from people he liked, but being unable to see Jennifer for a few years was more painful than it had been the case with the Flers, which made him feel bad.
Because he felt bad about putting someone before the Flers; for someone he hadn't even spent a long time with, Jason didn't pursue this thought any longer.
Instead, he halted in his tracks, staring at a store that was filled with all kinds of crystals.
Yet, they looked nothing like normal crystals. Jason couldn't help but feel flabbergasted as he stared at them with his Emperor Eyes fully utilized, while Solaris in its hibernation was starting to flicker wildly.
"Are all of them.crystals of unawakened origin flames?!?"
Staring at the crystals, Jason was unable to keep his calm.
By using his knowledge, he felt that even the weakest origin flame crystal in front of him was stronger than the silver origin flame of his late master.
That was madness, and even more shocking when he saw that the weakest origin flame crystals were priced at 50 Merit points.
He could purchase almost 90 of the weakest origin flame crystals just from the Merit points he had procured during the last three years.
It was only at this moment that Jason truly realized that his score had been much better than he first assumed.
Now, it dawned upon him that the Primordial races gave their utmost efforts to provide the best possible rewards to the Primordial Descendants that braved the challenges of the Dungeon!
