The reason why I felt like I was overflowing with Spiritual Essence, Mana, and Ki was because of these Treasures. Each one was like a small production factory, that automatically produced these energy resources automatically every hour. The more I had, the more they would produce. In specific, the Blood Fountain was the best one at producing Blood Attribute, my strongest element.
It not only enchanted my own power, but Eleanora felt immediately stronger than normal, as if her evolution wasn't enough, she had already received yet another boost from all of these enchantments.
However, I was left on the blue about what exactly was this Spiritual Realm, and if this was something every person with the Spirit Orbs could develop.
The Grimoire, however, had other plans on mind, handling me Skills from left and right…
[You acquired the [Pseudo Spiritual Realm: Lv1] Skill!]
[You acquired the [Spiritual Realm Master: Lv1] Title Skill!]
[You unlocked the [Spirit] Stat!]
-----
[Stat]: [Spirit]
A Stat hidden for most common folks, usually unlocked when a Spirit Master reaches Rank 5 or even 4 if very talented. This stat number determines the strength of the user's Spirit Essence, Spirit Techniques, and also their total Spirit Essence, and regeneration speed. It also enhances all contracted Spirit's stats by +5 with each Stat digit (invisible buff). Passively expands the Spiritual Realm and enhances the quality and richness of Spirit Treasures, while enhancing the chances for a new Spirit Treasure to be born naturally.

Interesting! So this is the new Stat, Spirit! However, Spirits themselves don't have this Stat, only their Spirit Masters, and it directly affects the Spirits they have contracted. I wonder if this also expands towards Familiars created through the Invoker Class Tree…
[Familiars are different than Spirit Familiars, but do receive a buff of +2 to all stats with every one digit of Spirit Stat.]
The Grimoire itself answered my question rather swiftly.
This means that I must increase this stat at all costs!
However, how do I even do it?
[Leveling Up and Stat Points cannot increase the [Spirit] Stat, which only increases by enchanting the Realm of the Spirit Orb or by feeding the Spiritual Realm with high quality and high energy Materials. Placing new Spirit Treasures inside the Spiritual Realm also increases the Spirit Stat.]
It is a strange Stat. I cannot even increase it normally… It requires specific actions and methods, but I'll get to them eventually. Spirit Orbs naturally develop through leveling up as well, so it is not as if I cannot do it that way.
I quickly decided to look at my Status:

After eating this fruit Erika created with all her efforts for a whole year, my stats increased by over +200 and I gained several new powers and even Spiritual Treasures… And that was only a small Yggdrasil Fruit. The other trees I've made never have developed fruits before, only flowers.
To think Erika has the power to create these mystical fruits filled with enormous quantities of power… She's really someone amazing. I guess what those Holy Spirits told to her might not be so far-fetched, she's filled with potential.
"I never thought my fruit would make you so strong!" Said Erika surprised. "Maybe I should make more for you?"
"No, you don't have to feel forced, it must have taken a toll from you. The fruit itself was too strong, if you overdo it, you might even die." I said, stopping her from doing something reckless.
"Aw… Well, I am glad about what came out of it!" She said.
"Well, I even developed new powers, I feel way stronger than ever before. I couldn't had gotten a better gift from you, Erika, thanks a lot." I hugged her back.
"Heheh, it's nothing!" She said happily. "It doesn't even compare to everything you've done for me, Blake- Huh?! What's that on the sky?!"
"The sky?"
I looked up into the sky, an enormous flying vessel was slowly approaching, descending from within the clouds.
It was an airship.
