Chapter 2681: Advantages And Side Effects "We will be leaving, Headmaster; take care of yourself," he said and bowed to old women and others before walking toward a teleportation formation. "Buzz!" Soon, all of them disappeared, and I turned to marina, "There is time for one quick round," I said, "I thought you would never be asked," she said with a full seductive smile, and next second our lips clashed within a minute we were completely naked. For the next fifteen minutes, the hall was filled with the sound of moans and the wet sound of bodies, and it was amazing as always. "I am really envious of Grandmistress Charline; the things she could do with that power are really amazing," she said with a sigh. "You will reach that height, too," I said as I pulled the zip of her dress up before hugging her from behind. "I am not envious of her power; I am envious of what she could do with it and the number of people she could help with," she said as she melded back into me. "I know, and you will gain that power soon," I said softly as I wrapped my hands around her. If she had any other healing Inheritance than what she has right now, she would have been a Grandmaster today, even High-Grandmaster or quasi-Grand Lord. Her healing talent is the best I have ever seen, much better than what I have. The only reason I am capable of achieving these miraculous feats is because of the tools I have in my arsenal. If she also had these tools, then she would have done a much better job than me. We remained to hug for about a minute before letting go; marina gave me one last kiss before she left while I waved my hand and brought out the formation. I have constantly been improving the formation, and now, it has become even more amazing with the least side effect. Still, I am being extremly careful using this formation once a week and only for one hour. If I use it for a longer time, I will gain much greater benefits, but the side effect did not worth it. I looked at everything one more, especially the timer, because it would be the only thing that would bring me back if I had lost. Buzz! I activated the formation, and a moment later, a green-purple incense ball burned and began to release the smoke. The smoke did not enter through the air, instead spread into the runes before coming to formation surrounding and coming out. A faint wonderful fragrance came to my nostril, sending me directly into the psychedelic wonderland, through which I was able to become alert for a moment, the chance which I took to circulate the cleansing method at full power. Ever since I have come out of the psychedelic ruin, I have been using the resources I have found therein controlled manner. It is very dangerous considering the side effect of the psychedelic energy I have suffered after coming back to the mainland. I was not totally clueless about it, but still, the power of side effects has considerably shocked me. I was not able to sleep properly for two weeks, woke up a sweat, and suffered the feats of disorientation, the classic psychedelic withdrawal symptoms. I did not remain there for even two weeks, but its effects still gripped me. I couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if I had remained there for a month or more and would have considered its benefits if the huge responsibilities weren’t weighing down on me. This is why, till now, I hadn’t used the psychedelic in the project but used it myself, which a sane person wouldn’t have done after what they have suffered. The benefits of it are damn too good to discard, and I did not completely discard this idea about not using this in a project. I have been testing it myself, and after I studied the result today, I will make a decision on using it in the project. Though, I will start it experimentally; those with a strong will and high level, and I already have a few people in mind for that. Unlike what I have experienced in ruin, the psychedelic wouldn’t be raw and would be filled with benefits. Grandmaster Salvador had done a very good job crafting the psychedelic essence ball; it provided me far more benefits than raw psychedelic energy. I could feel my soul getting purer in each session; though I am still far, far away from breaking into the 4th stage of it, it will take me months. Still, I am very hopeful about it, because, despite its huge disadvantages, the benefits it offers are also bigger. Minutes passed as I continued circulating the formation with the soul-washing formation. Each moment is a challenge itself against this powerful psychedelic that wants to pull me into its wonderland, which seems to be a better and better option every second. Still, I hanged to my sanity like a hut in the storm because I had made promises to myself that if I lost myself in the psychedelic wonderland, then I would never use it for practice, and that was not an option for me considering its benefits. It is currently the only method that would be quickly reach the level 4 and above levels of the soul cleansing methods, which in turn will help me create another clone. For the second clone, I would need a purer and even more powerful soul right now; my current soul is not enough to create a second clone, which I want to create in the next level. If I had succeeded, it would be tremendously helpful to me. Ten minutes, twenty, thirty...finally, an hour passed by; fifty-eight minutes to be exact, when I stopped, as psychedelic incense ball had been completely spent. It had been crafted to design only for an hour, and it had worked perfectly well, just like always. I got up and collected the formation before walking toward teleportation while looking at the changes in my soul. I know what changes have occurred, and seeing them, a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face, as like always, they are great. One hour with psychedelics is equal to daily twenty-hour practice for a moment; with such benefits, why wouldn’t I use such a method? The only problem it has is resources; it requires a lot of resources, from the grandmaster level formation ink to resources to craft a psychedelic incense ball to soul washing formation in my core; not everybody could afford it. Buzz! I disappeared in formation and appeared in a small room, where a familiar peak Grandmaster was already waiting for me. "Grandmaster Zaar," said the woman as she stood up in greeting. "At ease, Grandmastress Veronica," I said and walked toward the formation. THUD! "Are you ready to begin?" I asked, "Yes," She replied; hearing that, I brought out a huge golden red tile, which radiated an extremly powerful metal-fire energy that most Grandmasters wouldn’t be able to bear, but Hazel’s mom was not having a problem. Being familiar with the process already, Grandmaster sat on the formation carved on the hot tile, and I could see her greeting her teeth as the energies of tiles assaulted her, but she bore without letting out a single sound.
