Now that Jason had fought against Jennifer with his entire combat prowess, he knew what he had to improve on first.
He hadn't used the chaos attribute while fighting but that was because his control over it was simply non-existent.
Using something one couldn't control was not what Jason liked to do as it might end up in a disaster under any given circumstances.
As such, adapting to the subtle released chaos attribute inside his body had become an important priority for Jason.
Other than that, he wanted to perfectionate his mastery over the Floating Sky movement technique just like the three auxiliary techniques he had learned.
This would require lots of his time, and dividing his daily schedule in proper segments had now become important.
Using four days of the week for blacksmithing, concocting, and inscribing runes, Jason spent the remaining three days improving his combat prowess, whether it was sparring with other cadets or trying to comprehend something.
At the same time, he set aside several hours of each day to cultivate at a rapid pace, using the best suitable places in the surroundings to make use of Jason's high mana absorption.
He could further amplify this by unleashing his Stigma and Celestia aura in an unrestrained manner.
It was necessary for Jason to purchase certain things in order to produce goods with his auxiliary occupations which he would sell to gain a huge fortune and utilize it in several ways.
First of all, he felt the need for improving the mana and primordial energy supply within his soul world.

Jason also wanted to try looking for certain martial art techniques; better cultivation and body refinement techniques that would allow him to become much stronger in a relatively shorter period of time.
Unfortunately, every single technique was extremely expensive, and the more interesting the technique he came across was, the more unique, rare, and thus more expensive it was priced!
Even if Jason were to save up all the funds he would earn through an entire year, he was not sure how close he would come to even one of the unique technique's price.
Thus, he had tweaked his strategy early on, knowing that the auction house of Lanro city was something one had to make use of.
Exploiting the need for not only strong but also different techniques, Jason could tell that most of the manuals that were simply lying inside his spatial ring and collecting dust were useful to achieve this.
Nevertheless, he couldn't sell all techniques at once, and had to make use of the high demand, low supply effect that led to skyrocketing the price for Terra- Intermediate and Terra- Advanced manuals he possessed!
In the end, Jason was not interested enough in the auction house to be present every single time he auctioned a Terra- Intermediate manual.
Rather, he scheduled all the Terra- Intermediate manuals to be sold once every day for the first two weeks, only to slowly increase the gap in time in which they were sold.
Thus, spanning over more than four months, the vast majority of manuals would be sold, leaving him with a total of 10 Terra- advanced techniques which he would sell at the auction house's bi-annual event auction.
Jason assumed that he would be able to make the biggest fortune out of his Advanced manuals by auctioning them off at the bi-annual event, instead of the common auction that was held every single day.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})With that thought in mind, he had already ordered someone to evaluate it, and help him figure out whether the techniques were suitable to be sold at that event or not.
To his dismay, there were only three techniques that were eligible to be auctioned off at the semi-annual event.
This was not what Jason had expected, but after giving it some more thought he realised that the situation might turn out to be better than expected.
With all techniques being sold off in four months' time, the fortune he should have acquired was supposed to reach the requirement to purchase one good technique.
At least he hoped so because there was no way that he would continue to use Terra Advanced ranked techniques as it was the highest he had while even the cadets of the Tritans organisation seemed to be using stronger techniques!
Jennifer had offered to ask Luna, her master, about getting him a technique on his behalf, but without having ever done something for Lanro's city lord, Jason felt that it was wrong to simply ask for a strong technique.
However, this was mainly because he could tell that his greed would overwhelm him.
As such, he would probably ask for a Heaven ranked technique which was his final goal to attain during the next few months.
With everything prepared, Jason used the next four months to reach his highest possible combat prowess without neglecting a single trait of his, improving his overall capabilities tremendously.
Being considered highly talented in the means of cultivation, the technique he utilised may only be at the Terra- Intermediate rank, but that was not important.
If Jason were to cultivate while being seated, fully focused on the mana absorption and liquefying process, creating more than two dozen mana drops was no problem.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})This was something Jason made use of, and he cultivated without holding back. This increased his combat prowess by sparring and comprehending important things while improving knowledge and proficiency in the three auxiliary occupations.
After four months, he had reached the perfect mastery of the Floating Sky movement technique, allowing Jason to move around at a rapid pace without consuming too much mana.
At the same time, his own cultivation speed progressed as well as that of his soulbonds.
He cultivated for several hours, every single day without fail, and because of that, in a matter of four months, he reached the peak of the 5th Lique stage. Now he had more than 4700 liquefied drops of mana inside his mana core.
Adding the factor that he required thrice the amount of mana than one would usually require to liquefy a single mana drop, Jason was more than satisfied with this outcome.
Meanwhile, Artemis entered the mid 4th Lique stage but Petri was even stronger than her as he entered the early 7th Lique stage!
However, that was not everything Petri had achieved.
He had liquefied a total of three more Life force drops, increasing the total number of Life force drops to seven which enhanced Petri's physical strength further, only for Jason's to be amplified too!
Solaris, on the other hand, was not improving by leaps and bounds as he and his soulbonds were.
Nevertheless, it had already reached the Prismar stage, in which it was more difficult to improve the cultivation base by a large margin, using only four months.
Thus, Jason did not bother much about the invisible progress Solaris had.
Rather than focusing on the negative points, he was more interested in the pace at which Solaris was gathering mana and soul energy to continue advancing.
Even if Jason was satisfied with his own cultivation progress and that of his soulbonds too, there was something else that made him much happier.
Finally, after a total of four months, he was able to tell the cultivation base of a being that had cultivated in the path of Pryr, almost perfectly!
