Confidence

-" Is there anything more I can do other than cultivate to a higher realm?" Luckas was under pressure to find a solution to his problems.

-"Not really, only your Qi cultivation will assist you in controlling your Elemental Soul in this scenario." Maven was worried by Lucka's uneasiness.

- "How about Soul Cultivation?" Wouldn't it be more helpful?" Luckas accessed his system and viewed the Soul Cultivation tab. Something there might be of use to him.

"Yes, Soul Cultivation would be the most beneficial, but I don't have a proper way of cultivating it." Luckas was taken aback by Maven's response; he had assumed that Maven had a technique, after all, his soul had recently been enhanced by two levels.

-" You don't have a technique? But I felt my Soul get stronger after you taught me to control the natural QI around me."

-" This is a side effect of your Elemental Soul getting stronger, the residual energy will slowly nurture your human soul too, this method generally takes a long time." Maven was surprised by Luckas attunement with his Soul realm, if he had such an easy time perceiving the rise in the realm of his soul he surely was a talented youth in Soul Arts.

This made Maven even more depressed, it was likely that Luckas will fail in controlling his Elemental Soul and would eventually perish. Thoughts started to flash in Maven's mind. He should've stopped Luckas from saving Elias.

Luckas pushed his fears to the back of his mind and began to read the contents in his Soul Cultivation interface. The first aspect was Soul Regeneration I, Soul Energy Mastery I, and Soul Resilience I. Luckas quickly began to read the information in each of these categories as he looked for something that could give him more time.

Soul Energy Mastery I was soon discarded as it only helped Luckas with his control over the energy of his soul, helping him shaping and manipulating it. This left Soul Regeneration I and Soul Resilience I.

Luckas was torn between the two, Soul Resilience would make his soul tougher and more resistant to attacks and corruption, this aspect also gave a bonus to the quality of the soul refining, while Soul Regeneration I was the most straightforward one, raising the regeneration speed of his soul for sixteen percent.

-" Does my soul can regenerate while being consumed?" Luckas was full of doubts so he decided to ask Maven a few more questions. " Would the resilience of my Soul slow the consuming speed?"

Maven was surprised by Luckas questions, they came out of nowhere leaving Maven dumbfounded. -" Regenerate? Resilience?" Maven thought a little and nodded. " Your soul can indeed regenerate while being consumed, but, the speed in which your human soul will be consumed will be way higher than your regeneration. If maybe you had some treasure that boosted your generation speed you could gain a few more months;"

Magnus watched the two talk with an awkward look on his face, he felt like he was listening to something that he shouldn't. Yet, Maven and Luckas paid no attention to him, only focusing on how to alleviate Luckas situation.

-"What about my soul resilience? Will that help?" Luckas mind raced as he wanted to use his talent points fast as possible.

-" Resilience? Like toughness or defense? I think that would help too, finding a treasure like this may be easier too." Maven thought that Luckas was hoping to find some treasure that could help.

Flurris, the air elemental who always remained silent, rushed over to Maven as he heard the conversation. -" Vinestump! Vinestump!" Flurris circulated around Maven in excitement.

-" Flurris, I already said that we are visiting Vinestump after finishing things here." Maven felt a little bothered by the Elemental sudden interruption.

-"Maven! Vinestump! Vinestump sap!" As Flurris kept repeating the same words Maven's eyes widened, he finally understood what the little elemental was talking about.

-"Flurris you are actually a genius!" Maven looked visibly excited as he turned to Luckas with shining eyes. " Vinestump sap! This can help you. The sap from Elder Vinestump was the propriety of strengthing your soul,"

Flurris kept spinning around Maven, but this time even faster. It looked like he was happy by Maven's compliments. After a few more spins he shot up again, the gales he conjured became even stronger now.

Luckas was surprised that the elemental knew something like this, Luckas gave a faint smile towards him. -" Thanks FLurris!" Luckas only got to know the elementals that followed Maven around but little by little they were growing on him.

Luckas felt a lot better now, He was confident in the speed of his cultivation increasing thanks to his system, so he thought that breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm wouldn't take too long, after all, he soon would start to unlock all the aspects of the second part of his talent tree.

Luckas instantly put his two points on Soul Regeneration I and II. Just like always a mystical feeling washed over him, but this time he felt it deep inside his soul, the discomfort he was feeling began to diminish as soon as he used his talent points.

His face even began to regain color, the effectiveness of the Soul Regenerating aspect was way too useful for him now. Each talent gave his soul a sixteen percent boost in regeneration.

Maven watched as Luckas complexion instantly got better, he thought that this was due to his newfound hope. -" It's better that we finish this, this amount should be enough for now." Maven looked toward Elias with a serious face. " You need to separate the natural QI and the reaming energy from the spell now. Leave the infusion to me."

Luckas nodded and began to separate the sphere in two, one was cyan blue in color, the other bright yellow. The blue sphere was way bigger than the yellow one, Maven saw Luckas having difficulty in controlling the two spheres and intervened.

-" You can let the natural Qi dissipate, this will make things easier." Luckas quickly did as he was told, the pressure on him severely reduced as he focused completely on isolating the residual energy.
