Elven cultivators

Nine-tiered Heavenly Tower, Study.

The light from the light source stone fell from the dome, illuminating the entire study with a bright yet soft glow.

Anton sat behind the long table, flipping through the documents that Eleanor had just sent.

The elven girl sat opposite him, a thick stack of parchment spread out in front of her, and was methodically reporting on recent events.

"I have arranged for a flag squad to be stationed at the Blood Soul Cave, and everything is operating normally at the moment."

"The collection of Blood Soul Crystals has also begun. The first batch of Blood Soul Crystals transported back to Nine Nether City was distributed to warriors who cultivated the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Scripture for trial use, and the feedback was very positive."

"According to our tests, Blood Soul Crystals can indeed continue to grow, but they need a continuous supply of flesh and blood nutrients. Our current plan is to 'feed' them with Firemane Beasts. The Firemane Beasts in the Beast Farm will be put into the Blood Soul Cave in the future."

The ranch that Eleanor mentioned was the pasture that Kreisor Dragon City used to raise Firemane Beasts.

It is also a ley line node, but it is smaller in scale than Taichu City and Jiuyou City.

To maximize the use of the energy of the leyline nodes, the Silvermoon Clan expanded the pasture into a large animal enclosure.

All the spirit beasts improved and bred in the Primordial City Beast Garden that are suitable for large-scale domestication will be transferred to the Beast Farm for further large-scale breeding.

This includes the Firemane Beast and the Scaled Rock Lizard Beast.

Anton, still looking at the documents, casually asked without looking up, "How does the efficiency compare to using Firemane Beast meat to aid cultivation?"

"Quite impressive." Eleanor's lips curled up slightly. "The energy contained in the Blood Soul Crystal produced by throwing a Firemane Beast into a Blood Soul Crystal Cluster far exceeds the total energy that the Firemane Beast's own flesh and blood can provide. The input-output ratio is very high."

Anton nodded slightly.

The essence of Blood Soul Crystal Cluster is to transform flesh and blood nutrients into more efficient energy crystals, thereby reducing the energy loss absorbed by the organism.

In addition, under the influence of the formation, the Blood Soul Crystal will absorb the surrounding free elemental energy during its generation process, thereby generating an energy boost.

Otherwise, the ancient civilization that built that underground base wouldn't have gone to such lengths to create such a cave.

"How's the production?" Anton then asked.

Eleanor smiled and said, "We have done a rough calculation. If we provide enough nutrients to allow the Blood Soul Crystal Cluster to grow at its maximum speed, we expect that the Blood Soul Crystal produced each year can meet the needs of tens of thousands of warriors cultivating the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Scripture at the same time."

Anton's eyes brightened slightly: "Not bad."

The Silvermoon Legion currently has just over seven thousand members, a significant portion of whom are spellcasters.

This production volume is more than enough to meet the needs of the Silvermoon Legion.

With the Blood Soul Crystal, they won't have to worry about resources for strength cultivation for the next few decades.

Moreover, Blood Soul Crystal Clusters can be expanded in scale and production increased.

"Have the spellcasters in the clan begin researching methods to expand the scale of the Blood Soul Crystal Cluster. In addition, expedite the transformation of the Nine Nether City to the location of the Blood Soul Cave, and formally bring it under our sphere of influence."

"It's already underway." Eleanor added a note to the document. "We will prioritize the area renovation in the direction of Blood Soul Cave. We expect to be able to extend the light path, ventilation system, and sentry bunker system there within six months."

Seeing Anton nod, Eleanor then brought up another matter.

"And about that cat-girl named Night Eyes."

"The Dark Flag Team was able to spot the ambush in advance and avoid greater casualties. She deserves all the credit. Roman feels that simply rewarding her for her merits is not enough to reward her. He demands that she be given a better reward."

Cat people...

After a moment of contemplation, Anton slowly said, "Let's test her spiritual root first."

Eleanor paused slightly, looking at Anton with surprise.

The latter continued, "If she has no spiritual root, let her cultivate the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Scripture; if she has a spiritual root, give her cultivation techniques."

Eleanor looked at Anton with surprise, and hesitated, "If she has spiritual roots... should we recruit her as a disciple of the Primordial City?"

"Not for now," Anton shook his head. "Let's wait until she's mastered the technique."

"I see."

Eleanor agreed, understanding the situation perfectly.

Night Eyes was ultimately a member of a vassal race, not a member of the Silver Moon Clan.

Granting the status of a disciple of Taichu City directly would be too abrupt and difficult to convince the public.

Let her practice first; if she can achieve results, then let the facts speak for themselves.

By then, even if someone has objections, they will have nothing to say.

Regardless of whether Ye Tong ultimately becomes a disciple of Taichu City, she has been lucky this time.

Neither the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Scripture nor cultivation techniques are easily accessible to outsiders.

Especially the latter; across the entire Dawn Continent, apart from the Silver Moon Clan, there is no other place that can impart this kind of power.

The cat-girl probably didn't even realize that her fate had already changed at that moment.

Anton didn't pay attention to Eleanor's thoughts.

He gave Ye Tong this opportunity not only to reward her for her achievements, but also to verify an idea he had before.

What are the differences between the bloodlines of some races in this world and the demon race in the cultivation world?

If I practice the demon race's techniques, will there be any changes?

Cat people would be a good experimental subject.

Anton collected his thoughts and asked about another matter: "What was the reaction from the Heart of the Mountains after they obtained the forging techniques for rune-inlaid equipment?"

At this, a strange smile appeared on Eleanor's face, as if she couldn't help but laugh.

"They've sent people to purchase spirit stones and spirit fire talismans."

Upon hearing this, Anton couldn't help but smile slightly.

He could imagine that scene.

After obtaining the forging techniques, the dwarves of the Heart of the Mountains were eager to replicate rune-inscribed equipment, only to discover that without sensing spirit stones and spirit fire talismans, they could not replicate the equipment at all.

Unfortunately, only the Silvermoon Clan on the entire continent can provide these two items.

"The purchasing agents sent by the Heart of the Mountains have complained to me privately several times," Eleanor chuckled, covering her mouth. "They said they shouldn't have agreed to exchange technology in the first place. Now, not only have they not gotten the complete process, but they also have to buy key consumables from us. We're the ones who profit from it all."

Anton smiled wryly, completely unconcerned.

The fact that the Heart of the Mountains offered magic crystal technology in exchange for rune equipment forging techniques was not entirely sincere.

Both sides were pursuing their own agendas, and there was nothing more to say about it.

Eleanor continued, "But despite their complaints, they still bought just as much."

"The first batch of orders alone requires 5,000 sensing spirit stones and 10,000 spirit fire talismans. I think they not only want to forge rune equipment to supply the battlefield, but also plan to research alternatives to sensing spirit stones and spirit fire talismans."

Anton nodded noncommittally.

He had anticipated this.

Given the dwarves' confidence in their own forging skills, it's impossible that they would give up on replicating the technique without even trying.

They won't admit defeat until they've failed hundreds or thousands of times and hit a brick wall.

fair enough.

The more the dwarves tried, the more orders for spirit stones and talismans were placed with their clan.

This money is too good to pass up.

"Oh, and take this list back with you."

Anton suddenly changed the subject, picked up a thick stack of papers from the table, and pushed them in front of Eleanor.

"Let the alchemists and enchanters in the clan master magic crystal technology as soon as possible, and then manufacture the products made from it."

Eleanor took the stack of papers, glanced at them, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

The list prominently features the application product design concepts of Magic Crystal Technology.

Magic crystal lamps use magic crystals as their energy source. Through rune circuits, the energy in the magic crystals is converted into stable light energy. The luminous efficiency far exceeds that of ordinary light source stones, and the brightness is adjustable. They also have a longer lifespan. As long as the magic crystals are not exhausted, a set of magic crystal lamps can be used continuously for decades without needing to be replaced.

The Magic Crystal Furnace replaces traditional firewood and charcoal fires, using magic crystals as its energy source. Through built-in heating runes, it converts energy into high temperatures for smelting and forging. The temperature is higher and easier to control, and it does not produce smoke or exhaust fumes, thus having a much smaller impact on the environment and the operator.

The magic crystal carriage is powered by magic crystals and requires no animal power. The bottom of the carriage is equipped with a drive rune array that powers the wheels through magic crystals. It is fast, has a long range, and is suitable for long-distance transportation. The transportation efficiency of a magic crystal carriage is at least three times that of an ordinary carriage.

There are also magic crystal mining equipment, magic crystal smelting furnaces, magic crystal extraction towers, magic crystal crossbows...

Eleanor turned the pages one by one, her expression gradually changing from calm to surprise, and finally to undisguised shock.

She looked up at Anton, her voice tinged with disbelief: "These...you designed all of this?"

"These are just some ideas, not complete design drawings. The specific product details will have to be explored by the alchemists and enchanters in the clan themselves," Anton said calmly.

Eleanor remained silent for a moment.

She was familiar with the dwarves' magic crystal technology. Currently, Heart of the Mountains has very few application products, and almost all of them are concentrated in the military field.

The list provided by Anton covers almost every aspect of Magic Crystal Technology's applications, from civilian lighting to industrial smelting, from transportation to military equipment.

Some of these products were not even invented by the dwarves.

And how long has Anton had been involved with Magic Crystal Technology?

Less than two months.

In such a short time, he has already extracted so many application ideas from those dry scientific and technological theories.

This is absolutely unbelievable!

These are just ideas, not complete design drawings.

But everyone knows that the most important thing for application products is ideas and inspiration. Once that initial barrier is broken, the rest is just a matter of patience and hard work.

Despite having already witnessed many of Anton's strange traits, Eleanor couldn't help but marvel at this moment.

"I will arrange for someone to handle this as soon as possible," Eleanor said solemnly.

Anton nodded, then asked, "How's the search for help going?"

"I've already spoken with Flora," Eleanor said with a smile. "She'll officially start working in the Clerk's Office afterward."

Anton nodded slightly.

With Flora's help, Eleanor should have an easier time from now on.

"Besides Flora, you can continue to look for suitable helpers among the disciples of Taichu City. As for non-core matters, you should delegate them."

"Okay, I understand." Eleanor smiled brightly.
