Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Chapter 514 Ghost spirit fruit

"That old lady… she is stronger than my father." Amara added with a frown on her face.

She was starting to feel worried for her branch family because they didn't have any emperor demon while she had already encountered two emperor mages in this backwater place.

"Mm?" Emily, Anna and others gave her and Max strange looks when they heard her. Everyone had the same question in mind: If your father is stronger than a five-star demon, how did Max enslave her? Of course, no one asked this since they could see their relationship had already exceeded a typical master-slave relationship.

Anna, however, couldn't help but ask, "How strong is your father Amara?"

"He should be a peak king d—warrior. Perhaps he has already broken through to the emperor realm?" She said with a pondering look.

The ladies nodded to themselves at the revelation. 'Indeed, we were right.' They thought.

"So, you are saying the one who sent us out is at least an emperor mage?" Leticia asked, her eyes glinting with excitement. She could feel that her bloodline was strong beyond her imagination and she should also reach these heights. So, the prospect of gaining such strength excited very much.

"Yes. She should be." Amara nodded.

Leticia clenched her fist and raised it above her head. "I'll become as strong, no, stronger than her in the future." She exclaimed in excitement.

Anna looked at the book in her hand and muttered, "I wonder if I can also become that strong."

Max heard her muttering, smiled and patted her head, "You will, definitely."

'…If this can't help you, I will.' He added in his mind.

Anna's face blushed slightly being treated like this in front of everyone, but didn't say anything because she liked it very much when he did it.

Emily's eyes narrowed slightly at this before she said, "Shouldn't we return to the mansion to say goodbyes to everyone or are you planning to leave at night?"

Although her voice was calm as usual, Max could feel she was a little displeased. So, he hurriedly nodded, "Alright. Let's go."

Saying this, he removed his hand from Anna's head and walked in the Garfield mansion's direction. While walking back, Anna came over to Emily's side and asked in a whisper, "What is it? Why did you get angry?"

Emily looked at her indifferently and shook her head. "No, I didn't."

"You did and you know I know it. So, spit it out. Why did you? Was it because you were jealous?" Anna asked in a playful voice.

Emily narrowed her eyes when she heard this. After seeing that no one was eavesdropping on them, she asked in a cold voice, "What's going on between you two? I can see things are… different between you guys now."

The corner of Anna's lips lifted to form a teasing grin. "So, you were indeed jealous." Although she seemed nonchalant, her heart was galloping like a racing horse. She wasn't ready to tell her family about her relationship with Max. The only reason she dared to tease Emily was because she knew she would support her, even if she didn't like it.

"Are you itching for some beating?" Emily dangerously narrowed her eyes and snorted. "I wasn't jealous, just uncomfortable. Now tell me what's going on."

"I'll tell you when I breakthrough to the three-star realm." Anna said and walked over to little Arya. Clearly not intending to talk further.

Emily frowned at this. She then went over to Max and asked, "Do you have something that can help Anna strengthen her foundation and increase her realm?"

Max glanced at Anna. She was a mid-stage two-star warrior and given it had been just less than one and a half month, her cultivation speed was already quite fast. But he could also understand why Emily was asking this. Of course, he didn't know the reason and just thought that she wanted her to become stronger because of the war.

"Let me see," Max said and appeared to be thinking while inwardly, he conversed with the system.

'System, find me something that can help a two-star mage strengthen their foundation and improve their realm. And you can see, my budget is a little tight, so be mindful of the price.'

[Yes, host.]

A moment later, a panel popped up in front of him with an item shown in it. It was a black berry type fruit.

[Ghost spirit fruit (Grade two): A less potent version of the Ghost spirit fruit. Can strengthen a person's foundation, increase compatibility with their foundation energy and refine it.]

[Limitation: Can only be consumed once.]

[Price: 200 SPs]

As he read its information, the system said.

[This fruit's primary function is to help strengthen a person's energy core and refine and purify their energy. However, as a side-effect, it can also help a two-star mage increase their strength by at least one minor realm, maybe two if they can digest all its essence.]

'Hm? Which means it can also help those who are at the peak of the two-star realm and are trying to break through to the three-star?' He asked, since energy refining was one of the major steps to breakthrough to the three-star realm.

[That's correct, host.]

'That's great. I can help Leticia, Belen and Rima too but…' He thought, glancing at his 700 SPs. He thought for a moment. He knew asking the system for a loan would be useless, so he thought about how he could get more SPs. Then his eyes glinted and with hope, he asked, 'System, can I sell mana stone in the system shop?'

The system was silent for a moment before it answered.

[Host can sell them. But the price would be very low.] 'I expected that much. So, tell me how much a single low-grade mana stone is worth?' He asked, not at all surprised. He wouldn't be surprised if the system told him he couldn't sell them since mana stones couldn't be called 'premium', at least not the low-grade ones.

[Host can only get 1 Shop point for every 1000 low-grade and 100 mid-grade mana stones.] The system answered, which caused him to almost stumble on his feet. It was worse than he would have liked. But what could he do?

Sighing, he checked his inventory and found he had a little over 1 million low-grade mana stones.

'Let's keep 100,000 for my and Emily's needs.' He thought and then said to the system, 'System, sell 900,000 of them and buy 5 of these fruits.'

[Yes, host.] System then sold 900,000 of his stones, which gave him 900 SPs. It then purchased 5 ghost spirit fruits.

[Purchase successful! Your items have been stored in the inventory.]

[Lust Points: 0]

[Kill Points: 0]

[Shop Points: 600]

Seeing his points tally, Max sighed. 'It's difficult to earn but too easy to spend.'

Emily frowned when he didn't answer for a while.

"It's alright if you don't have—"

"No. I have." He interrupted her and took out five grape size, black fruits. "These are called ghost spirit fruits and can help a two-star mage strengthen their cores and also increase their strength." He explained it to her when he noticed her looking at them with a strange look.

"Oh? The rest must be because of your… women, right?" She asked.
