Chapter 718 Combine

Chapter 718 Combine

Evalynn Fang was nowhere to be found.

Since that was the case, Michael decided to focus on his territory. He had a lot to take care of even after he distributed the treasures he bought for his subjects.

One of the most interesting objects in his possession was a Basic Summoning Core. 251 Basic Summoning Cores, to be precise.

The Basic Summoning Cores were all Neutral Cores Michael obtained in the Regional War against the council of 106 Lords. Michael got hold of them since the Lords didn't need their Summoning Cores anymore. He used a Soul Tear on the Extraction Soultrait and removed as many impurities from each core as possible.

Purifying the Summoning Cores didn't take too long. Michael was already familiar with the process. However, he wasn't familiar with combining Summoning Cores.

His first attempt at combining Basic Summoning Cores using Insert didn't end that well. Michael didn't know that it was possible to break a Summoning Core this easily, but he made it happen. The first Summoning Core he wanted to transform into an Intermediate Summoning Core cracked and shattered.

After failing once, Michael cursed himself. He got his act together and proceeded with the experiment. Michael was a little bit more careful now. He vigilantly combined the Basic Summoning Cores using Insert. It wasn't easy and required several hours of utmost focus, but it worked.

Michael didn't even realize that he worked through several nights before he produced the first Intermediate Summoning Core via Inset. 20 Basic Summoning Cores transformed into one Intermediate Summoning Core. For most people, that would be a loss. Every Basic Summoning Core was worth a fortune. Sacrificing 20 Basic Summoning Cores to create an Intermediate Summoning Core didn't seem worth it.

But Michael didn't lack money. He missed an Intermediate Summoning Core before, but not anymore. Michael was more familiar with the process after his first experiment succeeded. He spent another week combining the remaining Basic Summoning Cores.

Once he was done, Michael had 12 Intermediate Summoning Cores and 10 Basic Summoning Cores left to use. 19 Summoning Cores were still installed in the Summoning Gate, but he missed the Summoning Essence to upgrade the Basic Summoning Gate to the Intermediate Rank. Otherwise, he would install the Summoning Cores right away.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for Kraft Viton to procure the Essence," Michael stared at the head-sized Intermediate Summoning Cores with a faint smile.

The symbiotic relationship with the Untamed Jungle also aided Michael's attempts to create new plants and explore mutations of various plants more intently.

The Farmers, Botanica Magician, and others helped him examine the depth of the Untamed Jungle's flora and use Insert on multiple plants to insert the elemental energy within elemental crystals into them.

Michael created multiple new plants for the Farmers and Botanica Magician, creating joy and excitement. Everyone was curious if the new creations would survive or break and succumb.

Michael had a good feeling. He was certain that the Untamed Jungle would protect its newest creations.

It was weird.

Michael felt like he was part of the Untamed Jungle. It was almost like he had always been supposed to be there.

He couldn't imagine how his life would have been if his region hadn't been in the Untamed Jungle.

It was hard to imagine.

Michael didn't want to imagine it. He was happy in the Untamed Jungle.

[Weirdo!]

"Shut up, Danny!"
