After performing the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array in succession, Jacob didn't delay the next step, which was to let Brain Hunter evolve into a Star rank being.
Simply put, he had to help it evolve until it formed its growth-type magic core. For this exact reason, Jacob has already prepared as many titan tears as he could.
Right now, another two feet cauldron filled with glossy black liquid, which was, of course, the Advance type-1 titan tears, was placed on the table.
As for the small Silver Cauldron, it was still half filled with Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array Ink, which could be used one more time. So, Jacob stowed it away carefully as he might need it again someday if he managed to find another Fanatics Insect.
At Jacob's behest, the Brain Hunter crawled at its fastest speed and entered the gray cauldron filled with titan tears and started to absorb it greedily.
"It will be enough to let it evolve into an Extraordinary Tier-1 or 2, right?" Jacob asked Immortika while patiently waiting as he watched the Titan Tears were slowly decreasing.
"Extraordinary? Hehehe… what are you nurturing, a chicken? This is a fantastic insect of 18th rank. Its evolution conditions are already too hard on their own, although the Titan Tears are special, but not that special to have such an effect on a fantastic insect like the Brain Hunter.
"This many Advance type-1 titian tears are barely enough to let it evolve into Rare Tier-3 or even the Rare Rank itself. So, I'm afraid you have to cough out your full stash just to let it awake its growth-type magic core, much less let it cross into Extraordinary Rank.
"If you want to use just Advance type-1 titan tears to let it evolve into extraordinary rank, then you need at least 10 gallons of it!
"And if it really becomes your eternal slave, then you have to spend bottomless resources to nurture it with titan tears. I guess this is the price of having a fantastic insect as a pet, huh? Heheheh!"
Jacob frowned deeply when he read those words, and he didn't doubt Immortika was lying, as there was no reason to lie about such a thing.
Furthermore, he also knew just how precious and terrifying a fantastic insect was, so nurturing them would naturally be not a walk in a park. Just to control them was an atrocious task on its own.
"Then tell me about how I can evolve it without needing the titan tears. You have already told me there are natural limitations on the fantastic insect, but there is also a way to break them as long as they complete the conditions placed on them.
"I would eventually run out of higher-level titan tears formulas, so I need to take this route eventually if he needs to evolve it at higher levels. You already told me it needs an epic being brain and magic core to evolve into a rare rank.
"What about extraordinary, epic, unique, or even legendary rank?" Jacob quickly asked while Immortika was still replying to his questions.
Jacob knew if anyone knew how to evolve and nurture a fantastic insect, it was this cursed book.
"Hahahaha… Legendary Rank? Your ambition is really commendable. Do you know since the start of the Universe, no one has ever seen or even heard about a Legendary Rank Fantastic Insect? Yet here you are; you want to achieve the impossible, huh?
"Besides, do you think I would give you such information just because you asked nicely, huh? Regretfully, you couldn't be more wrong. Just the information about the first poison is already enough to buy this entire type-2 plains.
"And even if I want to tell you, I'm afraid I'm restricted… all I can say is just let the Brain Hunter follow its instincts… hahahah!"
Jacob frowned grimly, but he didn't waste his words to persuade Immortika since he knew he had reached his limit to what he could learn from it.
At this moment, his attention was drawn to the cauldron, and he was astonished because the slowly disappearing titan tears suddenly started to decrease at an alarming rate.
Within five seconds, all the titan tears from the cauldron had vanished, and right at this moment, the tattoo on Jacob's chest started to heat up, which alarmed him greatly.
A foreign thought started to appear in Jacob's head which clearly wasn't his it was trying to express something… confusion, joy, fear, thrill… strange emotions starting to appear.
"Oh, it has awakened its intelligence which means it has evolved into Rare Rank. What are you waiting for? Pour all the Titan tears if you want the process to be quick. When a being is evolving, they can gain many things by their bloodline as long as they have a suitable environment and resources!"
Jacob didn't dare to ignore Immortika's words, so without any delay, he took out a five-litter jar which was more than half filled. This was all the titan tears he was able to prepare with every resource he had.
But he wasn't expecting to use it all on the Brain Hunter, and he was even hoping to save some for himself so his eye could recover, but now it seemed his eye had to wait a bit longer.
Without hesitation, he turned the jar upside down in the cauldron, and the next moment, those foreign thoughts exhibited pure joy, and the liquid started to get absorbed with an even more terrifying speed.
It was so fast that the moment it dropped into the cauldron, it vanished as if there was a bottomless pit inside!
Although Jacob felt the pinch as he saw the jar getting emptied by second, he knew if everything went as planned, he would earn a fantastic insect enteral loyalty. This investment was nothing in the face of unlimited profit.
Furthermore, the tattoo on his chest was heating up as the titan tears got absorbed, and its diameter even increased as more rings started to appear within, like a true spiral. At the same time, those centipede legs, like tentacles, also seemed like they were moving.
When the entire jar was emptied, Jacob's chest was boiling.
At this moment, Immortika wrote,
"It's starting to form its Puppet Poison Magic Core. Get ready!"
