"Harvesting the Blood Bismuth lilies wasn't a very complicated procedure, but rather, a procedure with strict but extremely finite and comprehensible steps to follow.""It is to be handled with hands that have been gently infused with a steady flow of mana. The mana flowing in the hand should then proceed to wrap around the stem of the herb and sever its connection to the {Appendage}. It was a short and simple process that had to be met with strict requirements. Not even a single step should be substituted and it has to be followed down to the latter."Rhys stood before a huge {Appendage} with a hand stretched out to grasp at a Blood Bismuth Lily and another hand holding onto the [Records of Akasha I]. The time had a section that was dedicated primarily to basic-level magic herbs and mutant plants, which included the procedures to harvest them, as well as the methods of their preparations.The others stood far away, so apart from those that had perception stats higher than 20.0 points

Rhys reappeared back at the edge of the Island where he had left Hunter, Jayden, and Myles. He was greeted with the site of all the males seated, and facing the ocean with relaxed expressions.Their respective energies circulated them in a smooth unhindered manner, leading Rhys to realize they were most likely going through some sort of upgrade, so he chose to stay quiet and observe.30 minutes later...Cade was the first to open his eyes. He was greeted with the image of Rhys who sat opposite them, starting without even a single change in expression."Creepy..." Cade said with a disgusted expression on his face which immediately drew Rhys's attention."I was just waiting for you..." Rhys said with a slightly awkward smile as he pulled the {Broodmother's} core from his inventory..."What is that?" Hunter's eyes widened a bit as he stared at the black orb in front of him."This is the orb of the {Broodmother}..." Rhys said as he tossed it up and down before Hunter.Hunter's eyes narrow

Rhys looked around and realized where he stood wasn't conducive for reading at all. The air was very hot, and there was little to no level ground. The dismembered parts of the {Flame Devil} were like mini hills scattered along the expanse of the space.Immediately, Rhys activated {Blink} and traveled to the other edge of the Island, the beach where Sue and Stan had fought with the mutant sandworms.Quickly sitting down, he retrieved the [Records of Akasha] and placed it on the sand...All the parts that Rhys had just read through were just the introductory part of the time, as well as the index for herbs, gems, special stones, ores, creatures, and devils.He placed the tome on a slightly elevated rocky platform and opened it to where he had last stopped, which was the section that introduced runecraft. He began reading..."Runecraft is the essence of drawing out the laws of the world as a manifestation of power. It involves using special tools and substances to manipulate mana of all

Mana was still a vague concept to Rhys, but he at least had a clearer picture of what it was. It was a substance with a dual nature. Its nature was flowing, yet still. Colorful, yet not belonging to any spectrum of color.It was odd...Yet what did he expect from such a wonderful thing that could change the very nature of worlds? He was so baffled at the sight he bore witness to. Like the vast sea of endless stars in the night sky, it was beautiful...He quickly gathered his thoughts, as this wasn't the time to gape with his mouth wide open.He began the next step, which was trying to extend his soul, and trying to control the mana flow patterns. The endlessly flowing streams of mana were flowing in all directions, creating complex strange patterns that were difficult to discern.These were the so-called mana flow patterns that controlled the physical realm. It was the threading that wove together the fabrics of space, time, and all other dimensions of existence in the vast infinite u
