Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

"The Holy Guiding Furnace is an artifact used by Guardian Knights to protect their companions, while the Repulsive Furnace is a protective artifact for the Knight themselves. However, only Guardian Knights can use the Holy Guiding Furnace, while the Repulsive Furnace is applicable to all magic-based classes, including mages, summoners, and priests."

The Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace—Gu Ao knew this. It was Long Haochen's exclusive spirit furnace. Although it was only ranked last among the spirit furnaces, it displayed an exceptionally brilliant brilliance under the protagonist's halo.

No! The Holy Guiding Furnace seems to be more complex than it appears. While its taunting ability is widely known, it likely possesses other functions, applicable to all classes. Otherwise, the Knight Temple wouldn't have suppressed related information and quietly amassed wealth.

If the opportunity arises, perhaps he could inform the Magic Temple through Elder Yu, which would be a way of repaying the temple. However, he needed to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise he couldn't explain why he knew about this, Gu Ao pondered in his heart.

"Teacher, when can we begin fusing the spirit furnace?"

He addressed him as "teacher" with increasing ease. He had just become a disciple and had already received two spirit furnaces. Although one of them was not given to him by his teacher, he was able to possess it because of his teacher.

Old Yu said calmly, "Wait until you learn how to use and control your spiritual power. In addition, you need to have a basic understanding of spiritual furnaces, especially those of the same origin. What Li Zhengzhi told you was just the tip of the iceberg regarding spiritual furnaces of the same origin."

Seeing Gu Ao's somewhat disappointed expression, Elder Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long. You'll need to learn the system after you've truly fused with the Spirit Furnace. After all, only with a Spirit Furnace can you have a reference point for learning and understand it better."

Three days later, in the meditation room.

Old Yu looked at Gu Ao, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, with satisfaction. In his expectations, the learning would take at least seven days. However, although Gu Ao seemed a bit restless after obtaining the same source spirit furnace, he was able to calm down quickly when he was actually learning. Whether it was the manipulation of spiritual power or the knowledge of the spirit furnace, he learned it all in no time.

"Alright, let's begin. Let's start with the same-origin spirit furnace." Old Yu took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm.

"The most basic requirement for fusing with the spirit furnace is to be a third-tier professional, which means having a spiritual power of over two hundred. However, you are the Child of Elements, and the spirit furnace of the same origin is extremely compatible with you. Moreover, you are not far from the third tier, and with my protection, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the fusion now. If any problems arise during the fusion process, I will interrupt it immediately."

"Once you complete the fusion of the same-origin spirit furnace and accumulate experience, fusing the repulsive spirit furnace will be a piece of cake."

Three days of meditation had completely calmed Gu Ao's mind.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Old Master Yu's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Calm your mind and focus on your inner self."

Before he finished speaking, he tapped Gu Ao's chest four times with his left hand, gently drawing out the inner spiritual power within Gu Ao's body and silently channeling it into the same-origin spiritual furnace in his right hand.

The original colorless spiritual furnace suddenly burst into a dazzling light the moment Gu Ao's spiritual power surged in. In the next moment, it was dyed with seven colors, and the air in the meditation room was lit up with points of light. Blue, red, yellow, green, gold, black and silver, seven-colored light points layered on top of each other, swirling around Gu Ao.

Among them, the first six types of light spots are numerous, accounting for more than 90% of all light spots. They are intertwined and difficult to distinguish in terms of superiority. The silver light spots representing spatial elements are relatively few, but they still occupy a place in the halo and coexist harmoniously with the Child of Elements as the core.

This is the meditation room of the Space Mage Master Yu, dedicated to the cultivation of space-type mages. To ensure the smooth integration of Gu Ao, Master Yu specially adjusted the elemental composition of the room.

With his eyes closed, Gu Ao could clearly feel the seven elements surrounding him. They were as gentle as moonlight, embracing him and resonating with the spiritual power within his body. The seven-colored light of the same-origin spiritual furnace was tightly connected with his seven-colored spiritual power.

------

Meanwhile, in the temple hall.

The six lifelike statues still stand, seemingly unchanged through the ages.

Suddenly, a faint light flashed from the eyes of each of the six god statues. Because the light was the same color as the statues and the movement was far less noticeable than when Gu Ao caused the strange phenomenon, the magicians in the hall were in a hurry and none of them noticed this subtle change.

The change was fleeting, completely drowned out by the noise in the hall.

------

Time slips away quietly in the process of integration.

For the first ten days, Elder Yu remained calm. He usually didn't take more than seven days to fuse with spirit furnaces ranked in the top ten or below, but spirit furnaces of the same origin were obviously not included in this category.

On the twelfth day, Mr. Yu became a little impatient.

On the fifteenth day, Mr. Yu was already restless, pacing back and forth outside the meditation room.

On the sixteenth day, Mr. Yu's previous anxiety subsided, he calmed down, and his spirits lifted.

"Spirit Furnace Evolution..."

Looking at the almost liquefied elemental power, Old Yu muttered to himself with considerable difficulty.

The evolution of the Spirit Furnace is an opportunity that all Spirit Furnace owners dream of.

Not only does it require abundant spiritual energy, but it also demands a deep understanding and affinity between the user and the spirit furnace. It is only possible to access this at least at the fourth-tier professional level, and it requires many years of fusing with the spirit furnace.

This kind of opportunity, which can only be encountered at least at the fourth level and requires a very deep understanding of the spirit furnace, happened to Gu Ao during the fusion process at the second level.

Due to the stringent conditions and rarity of the same-origin spirit furnace, there are only a handful of owners with high compatibility. Therefore, the Magic Temple's research on the same-origin spirit furnace is not as comprehensive as that on other spirit furnaces.

The most accomplished owner of the Homogeneous Spirit Furnace in the history of the Magic Temple, he controlled four elements and spent his life allowing the Homogeneous Spirit Furnace to undergo three evolutions.

Based on his own experience and the records of previous owners of the same-origin spirit furnace, that powerful being made a bold hypothesis: the number of times the same-origin spirit furnace can evolve is the number of elements controlled by the user!

"If that senior's guess is correct, then..." Old Yu looked at the boy enveloped in seven-colored light, his heart filled with anticipation.

On the thirty-second day, the seven elements erupted once more. A faint hum emanated from Gu Ao's dantian, and the liquid of the seven elements suddenly burst forth, transforming into a seven-colored pillar of light that shot into the sky within the meditation room.

The second evolution of the Soul Furnace of the Same Origin has arrived as scheduled!

At this moment, the concentration of magical elements was so thick that it was almost viscous. In the confined space, the elements surged endlessly, even obstructing vision.

On the sixty-fourth day, Gu Ao, who had been sitting cross-legged for two months, finally made a move!

The viscous elemental power around him formed a vortex, centered on Gu Ao, and was drawn into that frail figure like the tide returning to the sea.

At that moment, Gu Ao slowly opened his eyes.

A faint glimmer of seven-colored light flashed and disappeared from the depths of his eyes, and it was as if Old Yu saw a star rising slowly above the magic temple!
