Chapter 408: Chapter 211: The Mansion’s New Member, The Association’s Invitation (Part 2)

"Lord Mo Ying is doing very well. It eats a large amount of food every day."

Pei Ze nodded and waved his hand, dismissing the Nymph. He then headed for where Mo Ying lived.

To house Mo Ying, he had specially built a spacious Beast Hall—or, more accurately, a Dragon Hall.

Walking into the Dragon Hall, he found it completely empty.

Pei Ze smiled faintly. He raised his foot and lightly tapped the shadow beneath it, saying, "Come on out. I’ve found you."

In an instant, the shadow under his feet rippled like the surface of water. A pitch-black figure emerged from it and, after landing on the ground, snorted at Pei Ze in dissatisfaction.

Though it had only been seven or eight days, Mo Ying had grown another section taller. Its standing height was now close to one and a half meters, and its scales had become even darker and glossier.

"You already did a great job. Your timing for Shadow Stealth was perfect. The only reason you couldn’t hide from me is that you’re still very weak," Pei Ze said with a smile, comforting Mo Ying.

The newborn Mo Ying was only at the first tier. No matter how outstanding its talent for shadows was, it couldn’t possibly escape his perception.

"ROAR!"

Mo Ying flapped its feathered wings, as if declaring its determination to grow stronger.

Pei Ze smiled and patted its head.

Members of the dragon race would gradually grow stronger with age, even without cultivating.

Of course, this process was a very long one.

But Mo Ying was different. As long as he was willing to spare no expense, he could use resources to rapidly increase its power in a short amount of time.

’Dragons grow very quickly. Before long, the manor might not be able to hold Mo Ying. I really need to build the Wizard Tower soon.’

Leaving the Dragon Hall, Pei Ze went to the Meditation Room.

He had just sat down cross-legged in the room when a black mist silently landed on his shoulder, coalescing into the form of Wuyu.

"CAW!" Wuyu gently pecked his cheek.

Pei Ze smiled and stroked its head. He checked it with the Eye of Omniscience and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Very good, little one. It looks like you’ve been working hard to improve your strength lately."

As he stroked Wuyu’s cool feathers, Pei Ze considered his next steps.

Broadly speaking, there were only two matters before him now.

First, increase his own strength as quickly as possible.

Second, build the Wizard Tower.

Both were indispensable for joining the deicide operation against the Spider Goddess.

’The Stone Monument Patterns will take another two months or so to fully analyze.’

’There’s still no news about the Divine Blood either.’

Whether it was the Stone Monument Patterns or the Divine Blood, if he could successfully convert either one into his own power, his strength would skyrocket in an instant.

’And this.’

Pei Ze took out the block of wood he had gotten from Leiot.

Feeling the abundant Thunder Elemental Energy contained within the wood, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes. He simply closed them and focused his will, beginning to absorb the energy inside.

Just as he had expected, the wood’s own vigorous life force had neutralized the originally fierce Thunder Elemental Energy, making it very gentle. He absorbed it with ease, turning it into fuel for his Elemental Fire. The incandescent white flames burned even brighter and more intensely.

Only when his Elemental Fire began to feel saturated did Pei Ze reluctantly stop absorbing the energy.

"Omniscience, check my current status."

[Elementalization (Thunder): 1.96%]

[Elemental Source: 1.96]

’Not bad. An increase of 0.25%.’

Pei Ze nodded to himself. The energy he had just absorbed was less than one-twentieth of the total energy contained in the block of wood.

’At this rate, once I absorb all the energy in the wood, my elementalization progress will increase by at least five percentage points!’

This was undoubtedly a massive improvement!

’Since the Stone Monument Patterns will still take a long time to analyze, I’ll focus on absorbing the energy from the wood for now.’

Pei Ze made up his mind.

Besides his own strength, his external assets were mainly Silver Star, Wuyu, and the Alchemy Engravings.

As for the Ancient Runes, their effect had become negligible since Pei Ze advanced to an Elemental Mage.

The Ancient Runes’ original purpose was to gather a large amount of Thunder Elemental Energy. This allowed Pei Ze to exert an effect similar to an Elemental Mage’s control over elemental energy.

But now that he was an Elemental Mage himself, he no longer needed to rely on the Ancient Runes to gather Thunder Elemental Energy.

Pei Ze then took out the last standard-unit metal combination he had prepared from his Space Ring and had Silver Star devour it on the spot.

As the metals slowly dissolved like sugar cubes dropped in hot water, the silver metallic liquid instantly began to boil violently.

This was nothing new to Pei Ze, so he waited patiently.

About four or five minutes later, Silver Star finally completed its evolution, successfully advancing to a Tier Five Witchcraft Artifact.

Recalling Silver Star, Pei Ze rubbed the cool surface of the metal sphere. Sensing the immense energy contained within, he nodded in satisfaction.

Not every Elemental Mage possessed a Tier Five Witchcraft Artifact.

What’s more, among all Tier Five Witchcraft Artifacts, Silver Star was definitely in the absolute top tier.

And Pei Ze was confident that once Silver Star was enhanced to the limit of the fifth tier, its power would be in no way inferior to that of a Tier Six Witchcraft Artifact.

"Omniscience, calculate the metal combination formula for Silver Star’s evolution into a Tier Six Witchcraft Artifact."

After a pause, Pei Ze’s eyes flickered, and he added, "It must be adapted to my current power."

He was currently in the process of completely elementalizing his body and Spirit into thunder. It would be best if Silver Star’s evolution was adapted to this.

Only a Silver Star that was completely tailored to him could unleash its maximum power.
