Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 368 - 210: Radiance of Creation

"What’s the problem?" Farlonio asked, looking puzzled.

"This is just the prelude to the entire work, using so many rare materials, with the cooperation of artisans from the Mountain Copper Furnace and the Hammer of the Source. If, I mean if, they really come to charge me?"

"They won’t." Farlonio said, "To achieve such a result, they’d be willing to put in anything. The artisans here in the Four Major Aerial Realms are as rich as nations. These materials are nothing to them." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I mean, what if? If there’s really someone who’s a miser, I couldn’t afford it even if they sold me." Li Ang looked at Falo meaningfully.

"Then, then..."

Li Ang raised his hand to hold back the crafty merchant Douding, who wanted to sneak away: "Then you’ll pay for it."

"I-I don’t have that much liquid capital."

"But in return for the ’Zen Heart Flowing’ and finding your ancestor’s workshop, you’ll get benefits. Don’t you want to show some gratitude?"

Farlonio, pinned by Li Ang, jumped in surprise and looked at his hand incredulously.

"How can Mr. Li Ang touch me?"

It was then Li Ang realized that her ghostly and almost non-corporeal state shouldn’t be so easily grasped by him.

He let go of Farlonio and quietly touched the Demon Thorn on his elbow.

Is it related to this?

"Mr. Li Ang is truly a demon, don’t use so much strength." Falo complained while rubbing her shoulder.

"Sorry, sorry."

It was his first time touching a member of the Haven Race. Though Falo was full of secrets and likely not weak in strength, her touch felt as fragile as an ordinary human. Li Ang wondered if this was a common trait of their race, or just her.

Or could it be...the demonization of his left arm went deeper?

Suddenly, Li Ang felt a sharp pain and looked up to find Elaphia’s murderous gaze.

"You just—touched her—"

"It was a joke!"

Li Ang raised his hands in surrender and hurriedly mentioned his monetary worries.

"In such cases, at worst, I will cover it for you."

Elaphia crossed her arms and nonchalantly said, "This kind of money is nothing, but if you, this small fry, can’t pay it back, you can come work as my attendant to repay."

"That’s great." Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are hopeless; if you dare come, I’ll stomp you to death daily."

That’s not what I meant...

However, Li Ang didn’t want to provoke her.

Above the Mountain Copper Furnace, three Hammer of the Source artisans worked in concert, their actions were in sequence, yet seamlessly continuous, as if they were one entity.

In no time, the arcane, divine, and natural energy self-circulation units lit up three self-circulation units under various marvelous high-tier materials they selected.

Next up are light and darkness.

Li Ang had noticed earlier that when they utilized light and dark attribute materials, the selected targets were scarce because these energies were even rarer.

At this stage, only in the Dome Furnace Association did he see a formal utilization of the two. Among scholars, there’s still no consensus on whether light and dark elements are Magic Power, energy, or some unknown entity altogether.

Occasionally, light elements may be contained in Divine Power, but this is not absolutely certain.

Thus, the only materials they chose were the cyclically attacking Transcendent Demon Beast ’World Destruction Six Punishments’—the peacock-like light attribute World Destruction Punishment ’Worldforging’ and the serpent-like dark attribute World Destruction Punishment ’Eternal Coiling’.

Due to their predictable attacks, the materials produced by the World Destruction Six Punishments are plentiful. However, the other four’s materials were quickly snatched up, while the light and dark materials, being difficult to process and use, were priced lower and more easily accessible.

Nonetheless, the Dome Furnace Association clearly mastered some methods of utilization.

"Light element self-circulation unit!"

After Hephaestus called out, Gaelin and Cassandra both appeared solemn, greatly focused.

The former instructed artisans to bring the crown feathers, wing feathers, and tail feathers of ’Worldforging’, weaving them together into a ring that floated weightlessly above the Mountain Copper Furnace as if it were light itself.

But that’s not enough.

Cassandra struck the Magic Anvil, Gaelin controlled the Magic Flame, and Hephaestus manipulated the rails.

The divine energy rails revolved rapidly around the central axis, and the Flame Track Array at the cavern’s top grew increasingly brighter.

A high-energy Flame Beam hit from above and below simultaneously, impacting the feathers of World Destruction Punishment from both directions.

In an instant, the light element ring burst outward from the center with enough power to cleave through subterranean rock with ease.

An artisan shouted, "Erect the protection wall!"

Several individuals next to him acted in unison, and an Arcane Protection Layer instantly lit up, enveloping the Mountain Copper Furnace, safeguarding against the impact of the light element ring.

After colliding within the furnace space for a considerable time, the three Hammer of the Source finally completed the external guide ring.

"This... won’t the internal core be even more astounding?" Li Ang wondered.

"It won’t be,"

Hephaestus overheard him and directly pointed to a craftsman holding a Light Crystal: "The essence of ’Worldforging’, due to its purity, can be used directly."

That’s possible. Li Ang scratched his head, but it was a good thing.

The scales and leather of ’Eternal Coiling’ similarly induced a dark elemental detonation within the Mountain Copper Furnace, eventually crafting a Dark Attribute Energy Source by merging with its essence.

Six energy sources floated above the Mountain Copper Furnace, reminiscent of a magical spectacle you’d only expect to see within a Mage Tower.
