My health recovery is incredibly fast.

"Ultimately, the threat of monsters will be left to the people of the Western Continent to deal with themselves."

Christo pointed to the metal box on the table. "These contents are also on your appointment order."

"What about those who have awakened their bloodline?" Xia Zuo pondered for a second. "Releasing monsters will inevitably lead to a large number of awakened bloodlines emerging in the Western Continent."

“The outer sanctuary is ready.” Krestor conjured an image in black crystal. “We will guide every bloodline awakener onto the path of a mage, binding them to the laws of the elements. If necessary, we can lower the requirements for granting the element of light, allowing them to possess it earlier. In this way, the bloodline powerhouses of the Western Continent will not repeat the mistakes of the bloodline awakeners of the Eastern Continent in the 2nd and 3rd eras, who were enslaved by the demons.”

Xia Zuo, thinking of the spiritual carving knife, immediately asked:

"So... the Western Continent, where bloodline awakeners can be born, will become the place where the Holy Temple trains inner temple mages? Bloodline awakeners cultivate faster, and with the help of spiritual carving knives, mass-producing eternal mages will not be a problem."

“Your prediction is correct, Shazo.” Krestor smiled, her eyes filled with admiration. “The Temple has changed the original Alchemist Punk Project into the Eternal Mage Project, which has become an important part of the Strategic Action Plan for Counterattacking the Demon Vanguard’s Lair. You must keep this a secret and not tell anyone.”

Chapter 110 Shaping Techniques

Before leaving Christo's office, Shazo took out a needle bomb.

As agreed with Rexor, Shazo was to return the unused spiked bombs.

Since the bald man is still on a mission in the Hammer of Desolation, we can only entrust Krestor to deliver it on his behalf.

The reward for rescuing the Wildhammer Alchemist in the Yeti settlement is a bounty from the Wildhammer Kingdom, equivalent to 2 Federal Citizen Points.

After leaving Christo's office, Chazo returned to his home, which he hadn't visited in a month, and had dinner with Anjou and Janice.

Anru'er's cultivation progressed step by step. With the outer hall taking care of everything, she was able to become a high-level mage very smoothly.

Janice has completed her studies in the four branches of alchemy: poisons, weapons, medicines, and oils, and is about to begin practicing meditation.

The academies of the Silvermoon Federation offer free instruction in basic meditation techniques; other meditation methods require additional payment.

After discussing it, Xia Zuo and Anru consulted Janice's opinion, and the three of them decided that Janice should first learn the [Eye of Kolas] meditation method.

In this way, when Janice studies at the temple, she will be a student of Master Kolas, and will be under the same mentor as Anjou.

Master Kolas was in charge of connecting with students from the Western Continent.

After Janice became his student, she was mentally prepared for Xia Zuo and Anru'er's identities when she came into contact with matters related to the Western Continent.

When Xia Zuo was tracking the recruitment of researchers for Starry Night Island, he discovered that the students of Adanavados and Master Kolas had a significantly higher chance of being selected than others.

If Janice wants to go to the Western Continent in the future, applying for a research position on Starry Night Island as Master Kolas's student would undoubtedly give her a greater advantage.

After the meal, Anjou took Janice back to school.

Xia Zuo then went into the study to deal with matters related to cultivation and work.

First, he took out Hillenburg's secret communication ring and inquired about the amphibious combat puppet's competition status.

Hillenburg replied that everything was going well, except for the unexpected absence of the Hammer of Abyss.

Xia Zuo immediately thought of the alchemists he had rescued from the Yeti... It seemed that the team of alchemists who encountered the Frost Dragon deep in the frozen snowfield was the team led by Lister.

It's strange...

Why would a monster like the Frost Dragon attack the Wild Hammer Alchemist?

Did the dragon mistake the alchemist for food?

No, no.

According to the information provided by Rexor, the Frost Dragons are truly intolerant of all food and drink; they feed only on ice, snow, and gales.

Could it be that the Desolate Hammer Alchemist accidentally wandered into the territory of the Frost Dragon?

It's highly unlikely.

Firstly, Lister was a seasoned alchemist and wouldn't make the basic mistake of getting lost.

Secondly, the lair of the Frost Dragon is far from the Desolate Hammer Kingdom, located several hundred kilometers to the west.

Thinking about it this way, it's more likely that the Wild Hammer Alchemist will encounter the Frost Dragon.

Another strange thing happened.

Why are there three Frost Dragons?

In some ways, dragons, like humans, separate into different families after reaching adulthood.

Before reaching adulthood, young dragons are slightly stronger than high-ranking mages. Clearly, the Frost Dragon that attacked the alchemist team must have been an adult.

What could have attracted three solitary, adult Frost Dragons to gather together and attack the Wildhammer Alchemist team?

Xia Zuo suddenly felt that the whole thing was full of suspicious points.

He took out Rexol's ring, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back without sending a secret message to inquire about the details.

Since returning to the Wild Hammer Kingdom, Baldy has been constantly busy. Xia Zuo sent him several private messages, but received no reply.

Lister's team was absent from the large-scale competition once again.

All of this indicates that the matter facing the Wild Hammer Alchemist Association is extremely troublesome, and may even involve secrets.

It's best not to ask around.

Xia Zuo took out the four metal boxes that Christo had given him.

Putting aside things like spellbooks, appointment orders, medals, and documents, Xia Zuo was most concerned about the tower model and the blueprints for the elemental bodies.

The tower model provided by Selena is essentially an external mental medium with its own database, functioning similarly to the mental medium within the mental ocean.

On his way back to Eternal Winter City from the Great Volcano, Xia Zuo took the opportunity to eliminate several nests of salamanders living deep underground, gaining a sufficient amount of experience and vitality.

Now, he placed his hand on the tower model and silently recited "confirm transcription".

After consuming a large amount of experience, and sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, he had all the information about the tower model in his mind, including the spells [Binding Ability Field] and [Shaping Spell].

Xia Zuo gently rubbed his throbbing temples, cleared a space on his desk, and tried out the spells he had just learned.

First came the body sculpting procedure.

Xia Zuo used his fingertips as a pen to draw a three-dimensional regular tetrahedron on the table.

Because it uses earth-based energy, the associated elemental trait is [Stable], and all four faces of the tetrahedron are triangles, this sculpting creation with its earth-brown lines as a framework inherently possesses the [Stable] property—doubling its structure value.

Xia Zuo stretched out his palm and pressed down on the tetrahedron, applying a little force.

"Snap..." The tetrahedron made a faint, crisp sound, and collapsed and dissipated instantly under the immense pressure.

“That’s interesting.” Xia Zuo laughed, having discovered a new use for elemental properties.

The power of the Shaping spell determines the upper limit of the size of the magically created object.

The elemental properties and the structure of the spellcaster determine the structure value of the spellcaster.

As long as elemental energy is continuously supplied, the magical creation will continue to exist.

Elemental traits add properties to spellcasters.

Spellcasters with the [Sturdy] trait have their Structure value doubled.

Xia Zuo just used 1 point of power to construct a 10-centimeter-high tetrahedron with a structure value of 20.

This regular tetrahedron, after being subjected to approximately 1 kilogram of pressure, had its structural value reset to zero and disappeared into the air.

The wonder of the [Shaping Technique] lies in the fact that magical creations constructed with different elemental properties can complement each other, achieving an effect greater than 1+1>2.

Xia Zuo then constructed another regular tetrahedron.

Then, using the earth elemental property of "Resistance," he constructed three reinforcing ribs with the property of "Strengthened and Reinforced" on the three edges of the tetrahedron.

This time, the tetrahedron collapsed after bearing a weight of 6 kilograms.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zuo conducted a third experiment.

After constructing the reinforced tetrahedron, he used the water element property of "Containment" to create a soft cushion with "Buffering" properties beneath it.

It took him 10 kilograms of weight to crush this magical creation.

The tetrahedron, reinforcing ribs, and cushioning pads together occupy 5 points of Vaillant.

When the three components are combined, they can support a weight of 10 kilograms.

If only a regular tetrahedron is used to withstand 10 kilograms of pressure, Shazo would need to expend 10 points of power.

The wonders of Shaping are obvious—skillful combination of spellcasting artifacts with different properties can save a lot of power.

The tower model provided by Selena offered tens of thousands of examples of combinations of magical artifacts, all written in elemental and spellcaster languages.

After transcribing the tower model, Xia Zuo has already memorized the combinatorial paradigm and the language of the weaver.

With just a little thought, he can retrieve the optimal combination example from his knowledge base based on his needs.

In the time that followed, Xia Zuo immersed himself in the delightful experiments of weaving magical creations.

Chapter 111 Shared Blood Magic

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the gaps in the curtains and fell into the study, Xia Zuo stood with his arms crossed, leisurely admiring the masterpiece he had created the night before.

A miniature airship, nearly one cubic meter in size, hovers above the desk, slowly undulating between the desktop and the ceiling. The airship's propulsion blades rotate at a steady pace, and a gentle breeze is expelled from behind them.

This miniature airship is a magical creation of the Shaping Technique, suspended in the air by alchemical gases in its air sac, rather than being hovered by Shazo's mental control.

The airship's propulsion system is not just for show.

If it weren't for the limited space inside the room, Xia Zuo could even have driven the thrusters to speed up, allowing the miniature airship to travel at a maximum speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

"Squeak~", the door was gently pushed open.

"You didn't sleep all night?" Anru walked in, her gaze drawn to the miniature airship radiating elemental light. "What's this? Hmm? Is it a magical creation made by Shaping magic?"

“Yes, yes,” Xia Zuo laughed. “How about that? Amazing, right? Thanks to the tools given by the inner temple mage, I made it in one night.”

Anru stared at the miniature airship, circling it once. "Is its gasbag filled with alchemical gas, or did you enchant it with a constant levitation property?"

“It’s alchemical gas. I haven’t started learning enchanting yet.” Xia Zuo looked at the metal box on the table, which should contain enchanting spellbooks.
