The first to be enhanced was the Iron Black Pot.
The other players waiting for enhancent lined up outside, while the Iron Black Pot followed Fang Ka into the Divine Hall first.
Walking into the Divine Hall, Fang Ka stepped up to the Holy Pool and then poured in a single portion of the Basic Enhancent Alchemy Potion.
A single portion of the Basic Enhancent Alchemy Potion isn’t much, but it doesn’t matter. This potion will have a violent reaction with the Undead Skeleton, and as soon as it makes contact, it will be absorbed completely.
He gestured to the Iron Black Pot, "Lie in there and receive the blessing."
The Iron Black Pot curiously glanced at the liquid inside the Holy Pool and then stepped in to lie down.
At first contact, he didn’t feel anything unusual. After a dozen breaths, the liquid suddenly started to gather around him like iron filings drawn to a magnet and soon began to seep into his bones.
He observed noticeably that his bones seed to gain a layer of faint red, but it quickly faded away.
"Alright, let the next one in," Fang Ka waved his hand, indicating for the Iron Black Pot to get up.
"Okay, Mage Fang Ka, I’ll call the next one now," the Iron Black Pot said, waving his arms as he walked out.
Watching the Iron Black Pot leave, Fang Ka started contemplating sothing.
He was thinking about finding soone to help him with the Blood Pool Enhancent task.
Initially, summoned creatures could be ruled out; the Undead that Mage Apprentices summon from the Netherworld are the lowest level, with an intelligence frustratingly low.
These creatures can only execute the most basic commands, and making them responsible for the Blood Pool Enhancent is as absurd as asking cats and dogs to solve calculus.
Finding a player to take charge doesn’t seem reliable either.
Never mind the cunning minds of players, just the fact that every enhancent requires deducting coins and points is troubleso enough.
"It seems the best option might be getting so high-intelligence, obedient NPCs..."
Fang Ka mused silently, suddenly rembering the Water Elent Magic Array at the volcano.
"Down there... better head back later and see if there are any clues left by the old geezer in the Underground Library."
Fang Ka was quite swift in enhancing these players, deducting their points and currency, placing a single potion into the Holy Pool, and then letting them lie in it, completing the process in one go.
Although this round of reward pool allocation allowed many players to qualify for one Blood Pool Enhancent, there were still many who just missed the mark.
Therefore, conducting Blood Pool Enhancents for these players did not waste much of Fang Ka’s ti.
Besides those undergoing the Blood Pool Enhancent, Mr. Zhou exchanged for a magic book on (Basic Death Wrap), while Mr. Qian exchanged for a ditation Skill book and a (Basic Curse Weakening) magic book.
It was evident the two had coordinated, as they didn’t exchange for the sa magic.
After that, the group of players went to work on the team mission for steel refining.
The reward pool for the steel refining team mission was quite generous, and these players seed very motivated.
Fang Ka didn’t pay attention to them; he was busy searching through the Underground Library, hoping to find so references about the Water Elent Magic Array at the volcano.
Kain, when conducting important alchemy experints, would write down so notes afterward.
Though Fang Ka wasn’t sure if this was a habit only during significant alchemy experints or if it applied to all important events.
The Underground Library was vast, and finding sothing unknown to exist wasn’t easy.
Fang Ka spent two hours searching the Underground Library and found so anomalies in a corner.
He leaned down and tapped gently a few tis, confirming the space below was hollow.
Extending his hand, he tried a few moves, creating a small gap in the floor tile, then pried it open, revealing the scene beneath.
It was a stone box, containing unknown content inside.
Fang Ka took a deep breath and then lifted the stone box from below.
The stone box wasn’t locked, nor did it have any particular protective asures; it was just a simple stone box.
Fang Ka pried open the lid of the stone box forcefully, and what he saw inside stunned him.
A deep black cylindrical object with an eerie, dark glow gleaming on it, giving Fang Ka a feeling of intense power.
"A Demon Core?" Fang Ka looked at the item in the box with so shock.
Over these days, Fang Ka had taken many books from the Underground Library to read, one of which introduced the Demon Core.
The Demon Core, also known as the ’Magic Treasure’ by so, has only one function, which is to store magic.
Crafting a Demon Core is extrely challenging. The stronger the magic it needs to contain, the more absurd the difficulty of crafting the Demon Core, often increasing geotrically.
This item was initially created by a mage nad Beasley Fermi.
It’s said that this Legendary Mage had a daughter he cherished imnsely, nad Alice Fermi.
Due to Beasley’s indulgence, Alice grew up extrely spoiled and arrogant, causing untold troubles and needing Beasley to constantly resolve them.
Alice was just an ordinary person, neither a Mage nor even a Knight, and hence had no power to protect herself.
Beasley worried greatly for her safety since she provoked many, and he couldn’t always guarantee Alice’s protection.
So, through various alchemical experints, he eventually developed the ’Demon Core.’
This could store his magic, and at critical monts, Alice could activate it to protect herself as an ordinary person.
This item, due to its insanely difficult crafting process and the rare materials required, could even be used by regular people, which led many mages to prefer calling it a (Magic Treasure).
Many mages laughed and mocked after Beasley’s death: a daddy’s girl could also promote the developnt of magic.
Of course, regardless of Beasley’s intentions, the invention of the Demon Core indeed had significant aning.
The thod of making the Demon Core was leaked after Beasley’s death when his daughter handed over all his Alchemy Notes.
It’s said that this was also at Beasley’s behest.
At least, because of handing over these Alchemy Notes, his daughter received care from many forces at the ti.
Besides, she herself held many Demon Cores, so she eventually lived her life out peacefully.
This, considering Alice had provoked countless people, was a true miracle.
Beasley, the Legendary Mage, could be said to have protected his daughter until death.
Later, as so of these forces declined, the thod of making Demon Cores finally appeared in the public eye.
Of course, appearing is one thing, but their manufacturing difficulty remains a barrier, and the rarity of materials needed ensures it’s not sothing an ordinary mage can produce.
Suddenly, Fang Ka noticed a note under the Demon Core.
He gently picked it up.
