Chapter 2365 Spring Lotus Fruit
The Spring Lotus Fruit was an extraordinary find, a rare high-grade tier 8 material that carried immense value. Emery had done his research; he knew that a single piece of this fruit had once been auctioned for a staggering 200 million spirit stones. There were two known methods to harness the fruit's full potential, each offering distinct benefits depending on the user's goals. The first method was the direct consumption of the fruit, which provided a massive surge in soul force.
This method was particularly sought after by Magus aiming to bridge the gap to the Grand Magus realm.
The second method involved burning the fruit and slowly digesting its smoke, allowing the body to absorb the fruit's essence in a much more controlled manner. This method didn't provide the same overwhelming boost in raw power but instead brought the mind to a heightened state of clarity.
For Grand Magus figures, who often struggled with making breakthroughs in the intricate and complex laws they sought to master, this was invaluable. The smoke allowed them to bypass mental blockades, making difficult breakthroughs much more attainable.
Emery had every intention of sharing the precious Spring Lotus Fruit with Klea. Both of them already possessed a high level of soul force, making the second method—the slower, more refined approach of burning the fruit's essence—the best choice for their continued growth. But as an experienced Apothecary, Emery had no plans to hastily use such a rare and valuable material without first experimenting with its full potential. He understood the fruit's worth and wanted to ensure they made the most of it.
Drawing on his experience in creating spirit-enhancing incense, Emery set to work crafting a method that would maximize the benefits of the fruit's smoke. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
After days of iterations and adjustments, he perfected the recipe, which produced five Spring Lotus Candles from one fruit. Each candle would slowly release the fruit's essence when burned, enabling a steady and controlled absorption of its potent effects.

As the days passed, the candle's influence continued to unravel the mysteries of the laws that had once eluded him. Emery's mind felt unusually light, each problem that had seemed complex now revealed its simplicity. It was as though the very laws of the universe were bending to his will, their patterns clear and manageable under the soothing influence of the lotus incense.
When the candle finally burned out, Emery could feel that he was teetering on the edge of another breakthrough. However, instead of lighting another candle to force the process, he made a more calculated decision. He redirected his efforts, choosing instead to connect his [Spring Lake] with the ancient [Elysian Trees] once again, spreading the harmonious energy of both natural wonders throughout the light side of his domain.
The result was exactly what he needed.

The gentle yet powerful flow of energy surged within his domain, creating a more balanced and enriched environment. Emery could feel the vibrant shift within the light side of his domain. Every inch of his domain felt alive, the energy flowing like a harmonious symphony.
Despite this, Emery knew from experience that this was not yet the equilibrium he sought. [Energy Balance: Darkness 52%, Light 48%]
The delicate balance between light and dark remained elusive, with darkness still holding the upper hand. Emery understood that without achieving a perfect balance between light and dark, his domain would never reach its full potential.
