Jill’s little action caught my eye but I did not bother to call her out. Instead, I asked her, “Since you are free, can you take me to the core area to conclude my experiment?”

The core area was surrounded by the phantom sword wood array, I could use my soul pupils to find a safe through it but I wanted Jill present by my side as I achieve something she has been trying for decades now.

“What do you mean I am free? I have a lot of work, can’t you see,” Jill said, playing hard to get.

“Fine, I will go by myself then,” Knowing Jill will ask to see the card info of the card I just created in exchange for her help I made it clear to her that I could travel across the array formation even without her help.

“Fine, I will lead the way since you asked so nicely,” Jill said, being sarcastic.

“Lead away,” Under the direction of Jill, we finally arrived at the core of the dungeon where the artificial soul energy vein ended.

Arriving at the core area, I walked to the edge of the hole, and then, summoning my grimoire, I chanted, “Field card- Vein Detection Field.”

Soon the Vein detection field card started to output a string of data to my grimoire. The data shared by the field card to my grimoire spoke to the presence of a soul energy vein within the field, the location of the soul energy vein in the field, the direction the soul energy vein is entering the field, the width of the soul energy vein, the purity, the concentration of the soul energy in the soul energy vein, and lastly the time to the for dungeon formation along with the rank of the dungeon to be formed.

This data was for the physical proof, but as the holder of the card, I was able to use the field to feel the presence of the soul energy vein, which was nothing compared to the visual given by my soul pupil, but better than the analog graph displayed by Jill’s device.

Yes, my field card range was not any better than Jill’s devices but this was only because I was limited by the availability of the required ingredients. If I had enough quantity of ingredients, like the dungeon prevention array that can cover an entire city, my vein detection array could also cover an entire city.

Back to the field card, the card apprentices could use this field card to feel the soul energy vein similar to how an array master or a card creationist can feel the soul pathways of ingredients or their surroundings through their spirituality. It was like an add-on to the card apprentice’s spirituality.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

Thinking of this I shut down my soul pupils and use my spirituality to check the surrounding soul pathways. I could feel the soul pathway clearer than before, this was thanks to the field card. I was astonished to find that other than helping its user feel the presence of the soul energy vein the vein detection field card made the user’s spirituality more sensitive to the soul pathway.

This was not my intention but it seems one of the ingredients or a sequence of ingredients I used to create this card was responsible for this. Thankfully I tried the card before handing it over to Jill to show her that I am better than her. It would be so embarrassing to hear from Jill what the card I created could do.

This was an unintentional perk, seeing how this effect of the card was not mentioned in the card info as an additional effect of the card, shows how this effect is a complementary effect of the field. Once I isolate the ingredients that led to this effect, I can perfect the vein detection array recipe/field card recipe such that it gets an added array/card as an additional effect. Or even use the ingredients to create separate cards just for the effect of enhancing the card apprentice’s spirituality.

This discovery, though appreciated, had put a dent in my display to Jill. I was fine with sharing that I had managed to create an array to detect the soul energy vein with Jill but not the complementary effect of the array that enhanced the spirituality of the user within its field. I planned to use Jill as the cover to sell the vein detection array formation. Therefore I decided to use the card and show off in front of Jill, and then let her obsessive behavior do my bidding. This way though Jill got the fame of discovering the vein detection array, I would be the one enjoying the wealth it brought without attracting any unwanted attention towards me.

Unlike Silver milk powder which was still stuck at the production stage, the vein detection array recipe, vein detection field card recipe, and vein detection item card recipe would rack in wealth as soon as they were copyrighted. Yes, the wealth of the copyrighted recipes would go to the person owning the copyright, Jill Norley. But because of a prearranged private oath between us, she will be diverting all the earnings of the vein detection copyright recipes to me. This way I will have money to speed up a lot of projects which were still in the development stage or start the projects that were previously on hold due to lack of funds. But all my plans of using Jill as the front to launder the wealth of the copyrighted vein detections recipes will have to be put on hold for now that I have another challenge at my hands.

I need to make sure that the vein detection array/ field card/ item card recipes only help the card apprentice create an array or a card that helps them feel the presence of the soul energy vein and not boost their spirituality. If not I will be making a huge loss on these recipes as it would be like offering 1kg gold free for buying 1kg silver.

Forget the loss, being greedy here can be my end. I say so because I did not have any idea of the limit of the boost provided by the array to one’s spirituality, did it only work for low-level card apprentices or even high-level card apprentices like Card Demigods? Whether the boost provided by the array increases with rank? Just thinking of these implications I felt a chill on the back of my neck. Even with Jill covering for me, I would not be able to avoid the consequences of this one. Boosting one’s spirituality meant boosting one’s understanding of the world, those old demigods who have reached the ceiling of this World and feel being imprisoned by the World’s Will will go to any lengths even if there was a slight possibility that they could break through the ceiling of this world’s realms.

p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 The presence of the Devil alone was indication enough for the card apprentice that the card demigod realm was not the end of the road in cultivating active soul control. So if they feel like there was something that could help them even take a peek at what’s next, they would be willing to burn the entire humanity to the ground.

This was one of the reasons why the demon worshippers were able to wreak havoc in this world for centuries. The devils had seduced many card demigods at the end of their road with the false promise of a power higher than that of a card demigod, an existence on equal footing to a devil. These promises were why my demigods formed demon cults and let humanity die in its own hands. Thankfully before it was too late it was found that the devil did not have the power to fulfill its promise, leading to the near extinction of the demon worshippers and its present-day circumstances.

In conclusion, If I don’t think this through, the ability to boost one’s spirituality could start a war that could mark the end of this era and the beginning of a new era.

“Wyatt, what happened? Was your experiment a success?” Seeing the boy fall into deep contemplation after activating the new card he created for experimentation, Jill asked for the results out of curiosity though she felt that the odds of this experiment being a success were not high enough.

Hearing Jill call me, I snapped out of my thoughts, and glancing at her I slowly shook my head saying, “It was a failure.”
