Separation time arives

Level 48 brought many improvements for Nicola, however he decided to disappear for the time being and stabilize his cultivation, the lifespan of an average human was around 100 years, magical beasts lived twice as long, but the two bloodlines he was born with were high level, with both in his body he would be able to live without having to cultivate for 500 years, just with their inherent life force.

Each cultivation level before the gold level was able to increase its life expectancy by 10 years, that is, another 480 years. Having lived less than 40 years and having reached that height, he took a little time to do things slowly.

Slowly his wealth was being increased and turned into resources, Nicola spent this time cultivating, creating new pills that exploded in success on the market and their price was sold at five times the normal market price, the alchemist associations tried to find out who it was the creator and offered exorbitant prices for the method of creating Nicola's pills.

But every time they got past the point, Nicola took the pills off the market and waited for tempers to calm down. It wasn't like he didn't need the money, but he wasn't willing to share his method, only Gin who could be considered his daughter and apprentice in the alchemy business was being trained in that method, but her aptitude in other areas wasn't so good, so her progress was much slower than Nicola's.

In addition to producing wealth, Nicola took time enjoy the weather, watched the stars in the greenish sky of that world, remembering the day he was reborn here. During the day there was only one sun, but during the night it was possible to see three moons at certain times of the year. He took this time to rest and think about new applications of his skills.

His companions didn't relax their training, Tuatha had recently reached level 35, Kin and Gin had reached level 28, Tyris had reached level 27 and Fibula had reached level 20 a short time ago, she had become a very proficient array master and her products were also sold to raise funds.

On the other side, Cole and Hugin had recently reached level 21 and had devised a strategy to bring magical beasts and cultivators into the arena builted inside the space artifact to train the snakes. So a year passed very quickly, the day of Tyris' departure had arrived.

Nicola had promised that he would take her home as soon as the snakes were born, during that year she took very good care of the little baby snakes and taught them to use their bodies and fangs.

She could have asked to go out a long time ago, but she felt more and more at home with these people, almost like family. Tyris had asked Nicola to continue by his side and Nicola had given her a mission, saying that she could return when she completed the mission or she could remain there if she wants to.

Instead of being sad about it she cheered up, after all she knew that she was very dependent on him to improve her strength, she wanted to step forward on her own feet and be able to fight alongside him without being a burden. She knew the mission was a test, and if she passed, her influence within that family would improve a lot going forward.

The parting moment was difficult. Gin and Fibula cried a lot, after all they were the only women there and had become very close friends, it was difficult to face the separation. Nicola had plans for the future and one of them was to develop independence from his companions.

He did not leave her in the desert as promised, after all the promise no longer needed to exist, but sent Tuatha and Kin with her to the desert. They would spend a little more year in the arid lands with Tyris carrying out the mission given by Nicola.

Meanwhile, Gin and Fibula would stay in Uglitch to manage trade and manufacturing. Nicola had decided to leave the space artifact and the four AIs with the girls. He also decided to go on an adventure, his first stop would be the port city of Kolpesh, from there the world was open to him and he was willing to explore it.
