The Legtisa Bugs, insects needed to cultivate Spirit-Sucker Fur, were the main ingredient for this cultivation attempt and one of the greatest gains of this trip to the Island. Inside the Bedroom Space, Serious Mouse and Aisijin had taken good care of them. The Fuzzies surrounded their nest, trying to create a comfortable environment rich in spirituality. Occasionally, the little creatures would even gather around the bugs' nest for their daily prayers.
But Ruger knew that Serious Mouse was only moderately skilled at this, while Aisijin was a complete novice. Tuzel, the rabbit whose mouth never stopped moving and who complained constantly, was the one doing the real work of caring for these unusual insects. Although Aisijin handled some of the actual tasks, the rabbit always inspected them on schedule and offered suggestions.
They bustled about amid noisy squabbles. They did not know what these bugs were for, only that they were important to Ruger.
Ruger did not rush to take out the bugs.
Instead, he first inspected the other materials in his hands. In theory, when brewing certain advanced potions, some ingredients could be substituted according to the circumstances, provided one thoroughly understood the formula. The same applied to Spirit Fur cultivation, and it was considerably more forgiving than potion brewing.
Even as Ruger considered this, he remained meticulous about what to keep and what to replace. What worked in theory could naturally work in practice, but only if he thoroughly understood the principles involved and the cultivation method for Spirit-Sucker Fur. This Spirit Fur Cultivation Method was still bait tossed out by that door, forcibly stuffed into his head-an intruder that had barged in when he tried to borrow its power to perfect the Ascension Ritual. Overall, it was a complete cultivation method, which reassured and pleased him.
