The Eternal Saint of Alchemy

After returning from the Hunter's Camp, the old hunter Pei sorted out the day's results.

While bows and arrows have sufficient suppressive power in terms of range, there are still some measurable errors between range and formation changes.

The Galevine bowstring maintains stable elasticity and can maintain the transmission of spiritual energy even after continuous tension, while the bow arms of the Rockskin Clan components will not deform or degenerate.

At the end of the report, he pointed out some areas for improvement: "The accuracy of the spiritual energy transmission of the Gale Vine String in ultra-low temperature environments still has about 10% room for improvement, and the deviation can be reduced by adjusting the humidity."

Xue Han returned to the Hunter's Vanguard Camp, put down his longbow, sat down at the table, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "The retreat was extremely well-organized. From the retreat on the right flank to the entire army's retreat, there wasn't a single pause in between. This was definitely not a last-minute decision."

Xiao Fan stood in front of the map in the main hall and looked through the entire legion's advance route. The entire legion, from encirclement to the right flank, then to the overall turn, and then to the retreat, seemed to be divided into at least three independent squads, as if it were planned.

The right wing regrouped in a very short time, 20% faster than a normal formation change.

Their primary objective was not to attack, but to determine whether the defensive light barrier of the dual-world platform was reacting.

The next day, the patrol found several small creatures in an open area on the east side of the plateau, all of which had been trampled into the shallow soil.

These items were distributed in areas where enemy troops were stationed, and buried deep enough that they would not be exposed on the surface during the retreat, nor would they be moved by melting snow.

Old Man Pei used the tip of his knife to pull one of the stems out of the soil intact. It was a shriveled plant stem, with most of its outer skin peeled off, revealing the hollow fibers inside.

The shape of the stem resembles that of a common shrub in the central Aurora Plains, with faint spiritual energy fluctuations remaining inside, similar to the signals detected by the life-sensing array.

Xiao Fan extracted the remaining spiritual energy in the array room and compared it with the array data in the array room, confirming the consistency of the waveform.

This positioning method requires no metal tools or a continuous power source; it relies entirely on natural materials.

Master Cheng formally input the stem shape and residual spiritual energy waveform into the identification database of the Dual Realm Platform as a reference sample to identify when similar marks repeatedly appear in the middle section.

That evening, a confirmation signal came from Tiezhenji: they had not stopped on the road, nor had they touched the location where the resonant stones were buried.

After confirming that there were no problems with the pipeline, the Rockskin Clan sent a message to the woman surnamed Shi, confirming that the Rockskin Clan's resonant stone had not been damaged.

The next day, the young master of Qinglu Manor sent another message, saying that a settlement at the end of the enemy's retreat route was purchasing large quantities of hay and fiber, almost twice the amount that the settlement had stored for winter in recent years.

Master Cheng recorded this information in the database of the Twin Realms Platform in order to trace the other party's resource channels in the future.

In the fourth week after the start of spring, the defense system of the Twin Realms Platform underwent a comprehensive upgrade, incorporating the scattered technical modules such as the Resonance Stone, Life Sensing, Longbow Formation, and Array Flags into a unified network within the array room.

Master Cheng meticulously recorded the communication times between the four battalions, as well as between the individual battalions, and finally determined that the signal transmission speed between the four battalions was two levels faster than before winter.

The coordination between the Hunter Camp and the patrol team has also been greatly improved. The activation process of the light curtain protecting the camp went very smoothly, and the signal was fed back at the scheduled time.

The forest dwellers added a new bundle of plant fibers to the border line. These fibers were much darker in color, much denser, and had much neater ends than the wind vine.

Elan left no written description, but the fiber processing method perfectly matches several materials previously provided by the Linju tribe.

Xiao Fan tested the spiritual energy conduction efficiency and tensile strength of these fibers in the array room, proving that they were suitable and could be used as a reserve for longbow strings, but could not replace the supply of Swiftwind Vine bow strings for the time being.

After completing the first batch of parts, the Rockskin craftsmen continued to expand the specifications of the new stone guide components.

After receiving the anvil, Ms. Shi determined that the dimensions and specifications of these components matched the existing flag base of Shuangjietai and could be directly applied to the upgrade of the flag base structure.

Xiao Fan compiled all the records of the defense system upgrades from winter to spring, and also conducted a comprehensive assessment of the four battalions at the end of spring.

The patrol route from Qinglu Village to the Tower has been adjusted several times to keep up with the coverage of the magic array. After the resonant stone burial area was completed, the transportation channel between the Tower and Iron Anvil Town has also become more stable.

In the late spring storage area, Elder Meng had completed the final quality inspection of the spiritual materials, while Blacksmith Shang had completed the molding of the second batch of forging materials at the anvil.

Xue Han has determined his position.

After confirming the progress of the entire rectification and upgrade process, Brother Cheng placed the handover records from this spring into the main filing cabinet of Shuangjietai.

Operational records for each route, formation, and training node have been archived in batches, and feedback accumulated during technical collaborations and organizational adjustments has also been compiled and summarized accordingly.

The Earth Core Golden Mane Beast stood up, stretched, and returned to its original position, its mane shimmering in the spring twilight sunlight.

The patterns on the flag base resonated with the red crystal and silver frost sword in the hall, forming a continuous band of light that stretched all the way to the entrance of the city wall.

In the last week, a messenger from White Camel Ridge brought an unusual message: further away from the Silver Plains, in a place called "Grey Rift Valley".

Recently, there have been several instances of spiritual energy overflowing. The overflowing spiritual energy originates from the same source as the Dual Realm Platform's network, but it is much more ancient and profound, as if it had been compressed for a long time and then suddenly burst forth.

The caravan from White Camel Ridge had already passed through a rift valley, where a layer of hazy mist lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate under the sunlight.

Under the sunlight, the rocks in this area are covered with a layer of silvery-white crystals, which gleam with an unusual luster.

After reviewing the brief record of White Camel Ridge, Xue Han said, "Silver crystals occasionally appear in the northern part of Aurora Plain. This is a high-purity medium that naturally forms after spiritual energy has been leaking out for a long time. The mist above the rift valley is shrouded in fog, which cannot be dispersed by sunlight, indicating that spiritual energy is constantly overflowing from the bottom of the rift valley, and in considerable quantities."
