Chapter 1244 627: Watching from Across the River, Stepping Up in Crisis
After spreading his fingers again, the blood-red gemstone on the bracelet seemed to be wiped clean of a layer of haze, becoming bright and vivid.
After injecting a little spiritual essence, it emanated faint ripples, making Daqiun's eyes light up.
Then, Ji Jue threw the bracelet over.
"Alright, now you can use it."
He hurriedly caught it, inspecting it carefully, incredulous.
He asked tentatively, "Are you buying this?"
"Except for the level of setting traps, everything else is too lousy, not even worth recycling."
Ji Jue yawned, "Buying at the price of a complete item only to process it as scrap is a huge loss. Let me see, if you don't use it yourself, take it next door, sell it for 4.91 million; not a penny less, and tell them I said so."
"Deal!"
Daqiun beamed with joy, showing no suspicion at all: "Mr. Ji, you're too kind, and so generous!"
He walked away with endless thanks.
Anyone who's been at the front-line base for more than a couple of days knows that Mr. Ji's eyes are as precise as a ruler. If he says it's 4.91 million, then it's exactly 4.91 million, not a cent less!
Not long after, there was a vague muttering from next door, clearly feeling cheated after spending a large sum to buy it back.
Too bad, even with the door closed, they didn't dare complain too loudly...
Otherwise, Ji Jue could take the opportunity to chat with fellow colleagues about gaining some experience.
A whole table of alchemy creations hadn't even seen the seller step out the door before they fell into the bucket under Ji Jue's feet, turning into white ash, completely dissolved under the Dissociation Technique.
The feedback from them made Ji Jue raise his eyebrows slightly.
The goods from White Country, truly pure!
Although many of them were crudely made, quite a few were ancient creations passed down in the region, whose essences and related crafts gave Ji Jue a great insight.
Unfortunately, the quantity was still too little to fully appreciate.
If he goes through a few more, maybe some skills could be understood through analogy.
Ji Jue glanced down at his watch, the golden number at eight o'clock had mostly filled up.
Only lately has he been too busy to start preparing the Rebirth Rank blessing.
Heavenly Movement and All Things Self-transform, both remain unsolved.
In White Country at the moment, there's no opportunity for steady progress and persistence, and while Ji Jue's accomplishments in Alchemy have advanced rapidly, he's still not at the level of flawless integration of the four parts.
Finally catching sight of Shekri's flaw from the slimmest traces, Ji Jue couldn't possibly give up the current Forest Country and go back to train at a slow pace.
"It always feels like there's a lot going on, Isis."
Ji Jue sighed, twirling a pure white flower in his hand, its thin petals almost transparent under the sunlight, glowing slightly, tender and alluring, unlike the barren and dry scenery of the wilderness.
Too bad, it didn't have any scent.
"Should I spray some perfume and see?" Ji Jue suggested.
The flower in his hand quivered slightly, silently growing two thorns stabbing into his fingers.
"Sir, although your preferences may be normal among craftsmen, isn't it a bit too perverse for the average person?"
Isis asked coldly, "And could you let go of me, having held on for so long?"
"Oh, I didn't notice, my mistake, my mistake."
Ji Jue laughed awkwardly, released his hold, and inserted the white flower branch into the vase beside him, then took out his phone to start snapping pictures.
"…"
Isis went silent, not wanting to speak.
The bud closed, contracting.
Refused to cooperate.
Foiling Ji Jue's idea to keep bragging in his friend circle.
What a pity, he could later show it to Old Lou. If Old Lou knew the material he provided resulted in a new Heavenly Artisan, who knows how happy he'd be!
Indeed, this seemingly delicate and fragile flower branch is the Matrix Holy Relics, the very embodiment of Isis, closest to her true form now.
Who could have thought that such a seemingly fragile white flower almost drained the Earth Veins of Punabantu, leaving barely a membrane of blood?
Although it falls far short of the terrifying creations of the Tower of Transformation simulations that covered the whole world, shrouded everything, and destroyed all, given time, it might not be impossible to restore a fraction of the ancient glory.
However, presently Isis, as a Matrix Holy Relics, is on an entirely different path than before, and what she might become in the future, even Ji Jue cannot predict.
With his abilities now, barely slipping past the realm of the Heavenly Artisan with the transformation of Three-phase Alchemy was no easy feat, let alone carrying around two flawlessly perfect Heavenly Person Rank Matrix Holy Relics like his teacher for some playful explosions...
It's hard, too hard.
One must understand, Heavenly Artisan might not equal Matrix Holy Relics, but a completed Matrix Holy Relics is certainly the artisan among the artisans!
No matter the faction, the existence of Matrix Holy Relics is the most crucial core, the template and foundation for all successors, even a treasured trump card to maintain the faction and resolve opponents when necessary.
The difficulty of achieving such a feat needs no further explanation.
Timing, capital, talent, accomplishment, and luck, not one can be deficient...among them, the blessing is actually the least important.
