"Shamrock Leaf Flame.....".
Within the Thirty Three Heavens, numerous different types and abilities existed within each Attribute. Some Fae Masters could use the Fire Attribute to annihilate their enemies, leaving nothing but scorched earth and ash behind. Other Fae Masters could use the power of flames to revive certain things, bringing them back and pushing them towards Nirvana....
Water Attributed Fae could be used to drown and engulf the enemy.... while it could also be used to heal and grow....
Just like how Parvan and Henrik were starting to research different types of Metal and Earth Attributed Sands that they could use within their fighting styles, there existed numerous types of Source Waters, which could be manipulated in the same fashion.
And by extension, there also existed different types of Flame Essence that could be used for numerous different situations and circumstances.
Spiritual Sands....
Source Waters....
Flame Essence....
Lightning Souls....
Spiritual Winds....
Ice Essence....
Light Souls....
There existed a plethora of Fae materials out there, that could be used both in-battle, and for support. The biggest difference was how a Fae Master opted to use a particular Fae material.
And this one.... was frightening.
"The Shamrock Leaf Flame is an Alchemy Attributed Fae material. With the correct Fae, a Fae Master could absorb the Shamrock Leaf Flame into their own body, letting it combine with an origin essence sea and be nurtured within themselves. It is similar to a Physique in that it dwells within an origin essence sea, but it can be removed at any given point in time.....".
It wasn't a permanent increase, like Boundary Physiques, or even Sovereign Boundary Physiques.
Arthur hadn't told Henrik or Parvan that it was possible to store Spiritual Sands within their origin essence seas, giving them time to find out that little piece of knowledge on their own. Normally a Fae Master could just store it within Storage Fae, but keeping it within an origin essence sea would allow them to refine it and potentially even use it during Ascension.
After undergoing Ascension with a Flame Essence or Lightning Soul within them, the Fae material would undergo a dramatic shift, becoming an Innate Immortal Treasure. The process was completely optional, and increased the difficulty of Ascension, but it wasn't something uncommon within the Thirty Three Heavens.
The reason why Arthur was so shocked to see a Flame Essence was purely due to its Attribute....
"Alchemy Attributed Flame Essence.... how unexpected....".
The Alchemy Attribute was only created during the previous Era. It's limits and Schools had only just been developed within the past several thousand years. If Arthur could sell this particular Flame Essence, he could make a pretty penny....
Not even once did he think of absorbing this Flame Essence into his origin essence seas. Not only was the Alchemy Attribute something that didn't particular interest Arthur, but the Shamrock Leaf Flame Essence specialised in the nurturing of Wood Attributed Fae materials.
It could be used for Alchemy, but its strongest ability was to nurture Wood Attributed Fae materials. Arthur could get a lot of usage out of it, especially if he used it in tandem with his Wood Laws, but.....
"The Emotion Attribute inside of me wouldn't grow at the same pace as the Wood Attribute. I need to keep the two relatively balanced, lest that one completely overtakes the other.... If I were to undergo Ascension with Wood Laws being two, or even three levels higher than my Emotion Laws, it'll completely mess up everything....".
Unless Arthur found some sort of Emotion Attribute Flame Essence, or some Emotion Attributed Light Soul, he wouldn't refine this Shamrock Leaf Flame Essence. It was harmful to his future potential.
And besides.... he didn't even have the Fae he needed in order to refine this Flame Essence....
Arthur let out a deep breath, before turning to the other Season Arrays. When he first walked in, he immediately entered the Summer Seasonal Array, and he had only managed to glance at the Spring Seasonal and Autumn Seasonal Arrays.
Both of which had undergone a tremendous shift as well.....
The Spring Seasonal Array on right transformed into a vibrant and lush sea of multi-coloured radiance. Rows upon rows of green, reds and yellows blanketed the landscape, as flowers bloomed, releasing a thick, yellow pollen into the air. Even without Bee-species spirit beasts to pollenate these flowers, the amount of spiritual essence in the atmosphere kept all of these Fae materials from going bad.
Arthur even released a few mortal ranked insects into the Spring Seasonal Array, hoping to see some sort of change, but noticed that all of said insects had died and their corpses dried up. Everything, from their internal organs to the water volume within their bodies had been absorbed by the plants around them.
Unlike the Summer Seasonal Array which possessed a Flame Essence, the Spring Seasonal Array didn't no possess such a thing. Instead however, Arthur found a few origin essence sea type Fae, most of them related to origin essence regeneration, but did find a few Body Sea Fae and a single Rank 2 Consciousness Development Fae.
A Fae that was capable of pushing the maximum size of a Mind Origin Essence Sea by 40%!
This area possessed a large amount of Wood, Plant and Life Attributed Fae materials as well, and Arthur made sure to touch everything that he hadn't already. He even found a Rank 2 Plant Attributed Golden Raspberry Fae. It was capable of producing Golden Raspberries, a spirit plant could produce spiritual essence filled fruit!
Arthur refined it instantly, having a minor use for it in the future.
Moving onto the Autumn Seasonal Array, the one that was filled with Wind, Lightning, Storm and Spirit Attributed Fae materials, Arthur smiled slightly when he noticed the large amount of remnant, Thoughts, Emotions and Desires within this area.
Despite the fact that Milena, Dagen and Nyssa had taken a few of the corpses from some of the members of Parachenko Village, Arthur had taken the vast majority of them. After creating the Basic Seasonal Array, Arthur dug up the weakest section of the Array, the Autumn Season, and buried over a thousand corpses beneath it.
The Spirit Attributed Fae materials would grow nicely under the effects of the remnant mental energies, while it was possible for the Wind and Lightning Attributed Fae materials to mutate, and transform into a variant Fae material. Arthur hadn't seen anything too impressive within this section of the Array, an immediately contributed such a thing to the Rank of the Autumn Fae.
It was only a Rank 1, while the Summer Fae and the Winter Fae were both Rank 3. If every Fae within the Array was Rank 3, then the chances of it forming a Spiritual Wind or a Lightning Soul wouldn't by any means be low....
A couple Rank 1 and Rank 2 Wind and Lightning Attributed Fae formed, but nothing that caught Arthur's eye. If it wasn't for the enormous amounts of spiritual essence being released from the Monster carcase, Arthur would be surprised if anything formed in these conditions....
Finally.... turning towards the Winter Seasonal Array, Arthur let out a breath of air, instantly noting the white hot cloud that was released instead. Despite being so close to one another, the temperature difference moving from the Autumn Seasonal Array to the Winter Seasonal Array was more than 100 degrees!
The Winter Solstice Salamander within Arthur's origin essence sea floated around happily, absorbing some of the Ice Attributed spiritual essence.
Arthur didn't even notice his Origin Fae move, as he gazed down to the large misty pool at the centre of the Winter Seasonal Array.
Just like when he had seen the Alchemical Flame not even an hour ago, an expression of amazement marred Arthur's face as he gazed at the winter wonderland in front of him.
