My health recovery is incredibly fast.

"Oh, right, I'll show you something fun." Xia Zuo pulled An Ru'er to sit down on a chair, then walked to the other end of the room.

He used sculpting techniques to create a disc, placed it on a bookshelf, and supported it with the spines of the books, using it as a makeshift target.

"Watch closely." Xia Zuo pointed to the cannon barrel of the miniature flight control unit, and then pointed to the target on the bookshelf.

"3, 2, 1, launch."

As soon as the countdown ended, a small ball of light shot out from the muzzle with a "pop," hitting the center of the target.

"Huh?" Anru'er's eyes widened in curiosity. "How did you do that? Did you control the turret with elemental minions? Or did you manually cast a small spell? No, no, there were no extra magical fluctuations coming out. The firing principle of this turret has nothing to do with magic..."

Anruer had practiced the [Eye of Kolas] meditation method, and her sensitivity to spells and energy was comparable to that of a high-level mage. She was 100% certain that Xia Zuo had not used any spells.

“This is the one I’m using.” Xia Zuo snapped his fingers.

A humanoid creature wearing magical armor and holding a small ball of light emerged from the cabin of the miniature airship. It placed the "cannonball" on the ground and gave Anru a respectful salute.

Anru'er first laughed at the little man's comical movements, then stood up and leaned closer to examine it, "What is this? An elemental servant that doesn't leak energy fluctuations?"

"Hehe." Xia Zuo chuckled and removed the armor plates from the upper body of the little figure, revealing its crimson body.

He looked at Anruel, who was filled with astonishment, and explained, "This is my blood element servant, a magical servant I created using blood magic. Because it doesn't use elemental energy, there are no overflowing energy fluctuations."

“What amazing magic.” Anru stretched out her hands, grabbed the little figure, and pulled the Blood Element Servant out of the armor plates on its lower body like pulling a cork.

As she kneaded the limp, clay-like blood essence servant, she muttered to herself:

"It feels like sand that's been wet... There seem to be colored lights in it... Is this your spiritual ocean, Shazo? Did you transfer a small part of your spiritual ocean into it, similar to the method of creating elemental minions?"

Xia Zuo opened his mouth, subconsciously thinking of the essence of the spiritual ocean.

Considering that Anru had not yet met the Pillars of Creation, revealing information about the elemental laws and the Chaos Vessel to her would violate the law. Xia Zuo paused, thought for a second, and then followed Anru's words:

"Ah yes, that's right. In fact, I was inspired by the tomes about creating elemental minions, which is how I awakened the blood magic that condenses blood elemental minions."

Anru rubbed her hands together, kneading the blood-element servant into a ball. "Does the temple know you know this blood magic? Do pure-blood mages need to report it or anything?"

“No need to report.” Xia Zuo tapped his head. “With the Light Elemental present, I have no reason to do anything that would harm the Temple’s interests. Besides, you may not know this, but pureblood mages are the only bloodline sorcerers in the Temple who don’t need to report their spell lists. The Temple’s only requirement for me is to keep a low profile and try not to use blood magic in public.”

"Oh~ I see..." Anru shook her head up and down.

She placed the plump, blood-elemental servant on the table, her gaze towards Xia Zuo filled with envy. "I wish I could also use blood magic."

Xia Zuo tilted his head slightly, frowned, and looked at the ceiling. "Now that you mention it, I feel like I've forgotten something... Wait a minute, let me think..."

Xia Zuo brought up his list of blood magic spells, scrolling from top to bottom, his mind lingering on the effect description of [Bloodline Relatives].

He clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, now that you've reminded me, I remember. Actually, you could learn blood magic."

He raised his index finger to his lips, signaling the other person to be quiet, then stood still, closed his eyes, and focused his attention on the [Blood Relatives] panel.

This spell entry has a sub-entry called "Bloodline Management".

On the [Bloodline Management] panel, Xia Zuo can adjust the attributes and blood magic shared with blood relatives.

On the [Shared Blood Magic] interface, he checked [Blood Element Minion].

The message from the cheat system then came to his mind:

"The host is being detected sharing blood magic with his blood relative Anjou. Please touch the target to confirm the sharing operation."

Xia Zuo opened his eyes, grasped An Ru'er's right hand, and silently said, "Confirm sharing."

A few blood-red glints flashed in Anru'er's eyes. She subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling the strange rhythm in her head.

"This is amazing...it's just like learning spells using spell scrolls..."

Anru opened her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.

“Look, look. Am I doing this right by condensing my blood element servants?” Anru sat down in a chair, took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and entered a shallow meditative state.

She found an empty elemental bottle in Xia Zuo's desk, used her mind to outline elemental patterns, divided her spiritual ocean, and skillfully condensed a blood elemental servant according to the method of making elemental servants.

At this moment, Xia Zuo unexpectedly received a message from the cheat system:

"Detected that your blood relative Anru is creating a Blood Element Servant. Because she has not learned [Flesh and Blood Manipulation], she cannot use her own life force. Would you like to share the blood magic [Flesh and Blood Manipulation] with her, or pay 10 points of life force on her behalf?"

Xia Zuo scratched his head, only then realizing that the prerequisite for [Blood Element Servant] was [Flesh and Blood Control].

He hesitated for a moment, then chose to "pay 10 points of life force" instead of sharing [Flesh and Blood Control] with Anruer.

The main reason for this is based on security considerations.

The "Flesh and Blood Control" skill has very high requirements for vitality, as it consumes blood. If you are not careful, you will end up with limbs broken.

It's better to keep this dangerous blood magic in your own hands. At worst, Xia Zuo can just "pay the bill" for Anru when she summons blood servants.

After Xia Zuo's health was reduced by 10 points, the Blood Element Servant in the Elemental Bottle successfully condensed.

Anru closed her eyes and observed the study through the eyes of the Blood Element servant.

Her blood element servant leaped out of the bottle, took a short running start, jumped onto Xia Zuo, and began climbing up, pulling on his coat.

Xia Zuo reminded him from the side, "Blood Element Servants can fly, just like Elemental Servants."

Wow, really? I'll try it.

The Blood Element Servant took off from Xia Zuo's coat and landed crookedly on his head.

“It really works!” Anru’er exclaimed happily, like a little girl who had discovered a new toy. “This is much more interesting than elemental servants. It offers a 360-degree view, twice as wide as elemental servants, and you can fly freely.”

Anru controlled her blood element servant to crawl into the miniature airship and saw the ship's internal structure.

She fiddled with the turret and propulsion system for more than half an hour.

After confirming that Anru'er's spiritual ocean would return after disbanding her blood servants, Xia Zuo coaxed her into the bedroom and urged her to intensify her practice of basic meditation techniques.

Xia Zuo washed up, ate something to fill his stomach, and returned to his study to meditate.

Chapter 112 Armor Protection, Energy Shield

Spellcasters that create objects using the [Shaping] spell require a continuous input of energy from the caster to exist for an extended period.

This will consume the Obedience element, weakening the mage's mobility and strength.

The [Binding Energy Field] perfectly solves this problem.

Its effect is just like its name suggests; it is a force field spell that restricts elemental energy, belonging to the high-level spells of the Evocation school.

The external manifestation of the bounding energy field is a three-dimensional blueprint composed of blue lines and nodes.

The principle is quite complex, but fortunately, Xia Zuo had a cheat code to help him. He skipped the learning process by directly using transcription and easily mastered the casting method of the beam energy field.

He maneuvered the miniature airship onto the table, imprinting every detail of it in his mind. Then, he entered into deep meditation, constructing the blueprint of the miniature airship in his mental ocean.

When he opened his eyes, a clear blue outline appeared on the miniature airship.

Xia Zuo stopped supplying power to the miniature airship, and the magical artifact blurred slightly before settling firmly within the blue outline.

The cheat code sent a message:

"The host has successfully used the [Beam Ability Field] to constrain the target. The Beam Ability Field blueprint of the micro airship will permanently occupy one mental slot until the host actively forgets it."

"It's done." Xia Zuo snapped his fingers and laughed.

Now it's time to try something I've wanted to do for a long time.

He summoned a blood elemental servant and began crafting a sturdy suit of magical armor, a chain mace, and a shield for the other.

Hmm... let's get another spell-based composite bow. As for the arrows, we'll use the blood arrows temporarily crafted with the [Blood Magic Attack and Defense] skill.

Xia Zuo worked until noon to create a blood-element servant that was as tall as a person and fully armed.

This minion has 10 points of Strength and Agility, 3 points of Spirit, and 1500 points of maximum health.

Its upper garment and lower trousers are magical protective gear woven in the style of the Witcher school's clothing, using a large amount of earth energy, so the overall color is earth brown.

Its head and back are covered by a hooded cape that conceals its body and face.

As for weapons, there's no need to carry them around all the time.

Xia Zuo can quickly equip his Blood Elemental servants with the corresponding weapons by using the blueprints in his mental ocean.

The Blood Servant raised its hand and grasped the spell hammer and shield and composite bow that condensed in the air, as if it possessed an alchemical pouch.

Xia Zuo circled the Blood Element servant and nodded in satisfaction.

"The Blood Servant looks really good with his hood up; he looks quite like an assassin sneaking in to kill the enemy."

Xia Zuo reached out, grabbed the armor plate on the Blood Servant's chest, and forcefully pried it off. The magical armor plate was forcibly peeled off, turning into fragments and disappearing.

The next second, the magical armor was repaired under the restraint of the binding force field. The elemental energy within the force field was redistributed, evenly distributed to every plate of the magical armor, and the gap in the breastplate was filled with a new magical plate.

As long as the energy in the binding field is not completely consumed, the magical protective gear has an automatic repair function!

"Great! Haha~" Xia Zuo laughed and patted the Blood Element Servant on the shoulder. "From now on, you will be called the Blood Element Guardian."

After speaking, Xia Zuo manipulated his blood essence servant to pound its own chest in a gesture of respect.

"Hehe." Xia Zuo felt a little smug, experiencing having subordinates for the first time... even though he had to control every single one of their actions...

He sat back down in his chair and began to draft his blueprint for the tower.

...

Gu Fei

It was approaching evening.

As the sunset shone into the study, three hands made of silver sand put down their pens and hovered in mid-air.

In one afternoon, Xia Zuo learned how to use the silver sand and even wrote the first draft of the tower plan.

Silver Sand, exclusive to high-level mages, is both a casting medium that enhances earth and wind spells and a multi-purpose item.

It can be transformed into props such as keys, locks, steps, lassos, trays, etc., to help the owner complete chores more quickly and effortlessly.

When used in conjunction with the Wind Hand, Silver Sand allows for significantly faster writing speeds, enabling the author to write nearly 5000 words in an hour. This is especially suitable for writers who need to type a large amount of text daily…

The only cost is 10 spirit slots, which is excellent value for money.

Xia Zuo disbanded Yin Sha and put it back into his spatial pocket.

He picked up a sheet of draft paper from among the many, glanced at the text and graphics on it, and muttered to himself:
