Chapter 623: Miraculous Alchemical Seed |
Looking at the 【Law of Beauty Fragment】 on the Character Panel, whose comprehension progress had already reached 50%, Janna felt both delighted and puzzled.
“Logically speaking, when the comprehension progress of a 【Law Fragment】 reaches 50%, it should naturally condense into a 【Law Seed】. But the 【Law of Beauty Fragment】 doesn’t seem to show any sign of that happening…”
Due to the explosive popularity of “The Angel’s Symphony” trilogy, Janna’s fame and influence had reached an unprecedented height. As a result, the comprehension progress of the 【Law of Beauty Fragment】 had directly broken through to 50%, becoming second only to the 【Law Seed of Purification】.
However, after reaching 50%, the 【Law of Beauty Fragment】 showed no further changes. Or rather, Janna herself always felt that her understanding of the 【Law of Beauty Fragment】 was still lacking something.
“Could it be because my grasp of the Authority of Emotion is still too shallow, and therefore insufficient to support the condensation of the 【Law of Beauty Seed】?”
Unable to pinpoint the exact issue, Janna stopped thinking about it and shifted her attention to another matter.
“Clatter—”
After storing the letter from the Nightingale Opera Troupe into the Thorn Bracelet, Janna poured out a large pile of silvery-white metal from the White Tower Ring and stacked it onto the workbench.
“With this much mithril, it should be enough to bring the Miraculous Alchemical Seed into its maturation stage.”
The Miraculous Alchemical Seed was the reward Janna had obtained from Anthony-Rook after winning first place in the Three-School Joint Examination at the Turin Wizard Congregation.
Its primary crafting materials included an extremely rare spatial-attribute magical plant seed, combined with various high-melting-point precious metals, and nourished with dragon blood or the blood of deep-sea behemoths. It was an exceptionally valuable growth-type alchemical item.
The reason it was called a growth-type alchemical item was because it possessed the 【Devouring Trait】.
During the process of devouring large amounts of metal resources, the seed body would rapidly accumulate metallic energy. As the energy accumulated, the Miraculous Alchemical Seed would enter its maturation stage and evolve into one of the most famous items in the wizard world—a “Portable Foldable Alchemical House.”
The “Portable Foldable Alchemical House” was one of the essential spatial tools for many formal wizards when traveling. It could serve not only as a temporary residence, but also as a dedicated laboratory for alchemy, potion-making, forging, and many other crafts.
Of course, the final quality of the Miraculous Alchemical House depended entirely on the amount of resources invested during its early stages.
As long as enough metal resources were fed into the Miraculous Alchemical Seed early on, once it matured, it would transform into a Miraculous Alchemical House with outstanding performance in defense, concealment, and durability.
Moreover, even after evolving into the Miraculous Alchemical House, its 【Devouring Trait】 would not disappear. It could continue to upgrade by consuming more metal resources, eventually becoming an impregnable fortress that “no one” could break through.
“Go on, eat.”
Looking at the Miraculous Alchemical Seed, which was already “eager to move” in front of the mithril, Janna did not hesitate. She directly used Wizard’s Hand to throw the precious mithril from the workbench toward it.
“Crunch, crunch—”
Like a starving ghost reincarnated, the Miraculous Alchemical Seed accepted everything Janna fed it without refusal. It opened the gaping maw on its pineapple-like head and chewed the mithril like candy beans, producing crisp chewing sounds as it swallowed.
“Still not enough?”
Janna had originally thought that this batch of mithril—obtained at great expense from the White Tower Resource Exchange Hall—would be sufficient to complete the energy accumulation. Yet she realized she had miscalculated again.
However, she quickly set aside her disappointment and took out a large chunk of the crimson-glowing Flesh Meteor from the White Tower Ring.
“Strictly speaking, the Flesh Meteor doesn’t really count as metal, but the energy inside it is extremely abundant. I wonder if the alchemical seed can devour it…”
With a trial mindset, Janna used Wizard’s Hand to place a small piece of Flesh Meteor above the pineapple-like head of the Miraculous Alchemical Seed.
At that moment, the previously inactive seed suddenly made a sniffing motion. Then, like a shark smelling blood, it immediately began devouring it greedily.
“So it really can eat it!”
Seeing the Miraculous Alchemical Seed consume the Flesh Meteor in just a few bites while still appearing unsatisfied, Janna’s eyes lit up with excitement. She immediately took out more Flesh Meteor from the White Tower Ring and fed it to the seed.
“Still not enough?”
After a brief moment of thought, Janna decisively stored the Miraculous Alchemical Seed back into the White Tower Ring. Then she closed her eyes and activated her Spirit Traverse talent.
“Yi yi!”
In the ice valley of the Glacier Plane, the Frost Guardian Ines—who had been guarding the Flesh Meteor—let out an excited cry upon seeing Janna’s sudden arrival.
“Ines, has anything unusual happened recently?”
“Yi yi.”
From the Frost Guardian’s telepathic response, Janna learned that everything was normal and nodded. Then, seemingly casually, she lifted her gaze toward the sky above the ice valley.
“The snow here really never stops.”
Because in the ice valley, her thoughts would be completely exposed to the Demon God 【Gorgon–Medusa】, Janna refrained from allowing any thoughts to arise in her mind from the moment she entered.
Of course, not thinking inside the ice valley did not mean she had not thought about it outside. In particular, the phenomenon of the endless falling snow in the valley had always intrigued her.
However, last time, due to the sudden situation and Medusa’s unstable emotions, she had not asked about it.
But after leaving the Glacier Plane and returning to the Material Plane, Janna suddenly realized that the so-called ice-and-snow phenomenon in the valley was, in fact, a manifestation of the power of laws…
