Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3108 Collection

?

Eldia flew through the hall as she phased around, but she came to a stop as she saw Tina and Dalila complete refining an array of ingredients.

"Ohhh…"

The various scents made her feel dizzy, causing her to look at them for a few minutes curiously.

On the other hand, Tina and Dalila looked at each other, wondering why Eldia was outside instead of being with him as they expected. From what they could see, she didn't seem to be aroused either.

Did nothing happen?

They doubted it but didn't ask as they continued to work on the ingredients.

It wasn't long before Eldia left, and then they began gossiping about what could've happened.

Half a day later, the sun rose and was already a bit to the higher side.

Many returned and delivered many resources, mostly wood, ores, and Feral Beast carcasses of Immortal Emperor Grade. As for the Immortal King Grade, they only required ingredients, and about ten were collected at the moment, mostly fire-attributed. A few were metal-attributed, and one even magma-attributed, a fusion of earth and fire.

Sophie had returned and collected these treasures from the people, recording their achievements and writing a few notes about their cultivation and specialties.

She already had her Blazing Embercap Mushroom to feast upon when it became a pill, so she was just waiting for it to be refined and tried to hunt for treasures, but since she saw everyone returning, she told Davis's soul body to go search for treasures while she took care of the makeshift command center, accepting resources from the prompt workers.

Right now, this entire volcanic region, slightly burning with apocalyptic flames in the core region, was like their territory.

No one had intruded yet, but they did not rule out that notion, as dangerous places do tend to have the resources appropriate to the risk.

However, with Nadia, Lea, and Eldia monitoring and guarding the region, they were not worried. There was even Myria, if not Fairy Thunderblaze. Whether the latter would help them or not was unknown, but as long as she was in this group, they expected her to do some kind of patrol or keep watch.

Nevertheless, for the resources being submitted, Sophie started assigning contribution points, which may help them acquire higher-grade resources from Davis.

He had already approved of this idea, and since she knew the worth of wood, ores, and other materials needed to build, she was able to assign contribution points fairly. Although she didn't know what amount of contribution points she should assign for ingredients submitted, she could always infer from Tina and Dalila or even Myria.

She happily took care of these things, even thinking that they should start a faction since resources were being piled up in the palace hour after hour. She knew this would keep happening day after day, considering this was a land that was untouched for hundreds and thousands of years.

After all, the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm seemed to be used as trial grounds for two Upper Realms.

Nonetheless, Sophie didn't let it inflate her head and continued to do her job. Everyone was respectful, and even the men did not dare to flirt with her.

Once the traffic was low, she left her soul body at the makeshift counter and headed further inside and met with Tina and Dalila, asking them about the evaluation of the resources picked up by their personal workforce.

"This is a Fiery Iron Dust, useful for drastically increasing the yang energy in any concoction… and since it is of Peak-Level Immortal King Grade, you can give the one who brought it back contribution points worth a Level One Immortal Emperor Grade Resource…"

"These are Viscous Ember Crystals, also at the Peak-Level Immortal King Grade. They are extremely useful to improve one's flame essence, so it would be useful to Starcy. You can give them extra contribution points since you need it."

"Oh? These are Yang Metal Concentrated Ash from the Yangium Ore and Yangtite Ore? It certainly would make a magical beast aroused if they were to sniff it, so it's also an ingredient used to create a potent aphrodisiac pill. Do you want one?"

Tina assessed the ingredients one by one before she teased Sophie, causing her to wave her hand and giggle.

"Surely, you jest. I know this is also a resource that's helpful to increase the intensity of the flames during pill concoction, but it seems like…"

Sophie turned to look at a cauldron underneath an open dome that was blazing with flames.

Not just one or two but a hundred and twenty-four flames surged underneath and around the cauldron, managing to heat it up quickly before a woman continued throwing ingredients in it in fixed or variating intervals. However, Sophie could tell all these flame wisps were burning at the same temperature with no difference.

'Such control… I'm nowhere near it…'

Sophie looked at Dalila, not realizing this sister of hers had reached such a level of flame control.

"What you need the most is a bursting force on both extremes during forging, but what we need is precise control throughout the concoction process. There's nothing to compare here."

Tina patted Sophie's shoulder, "Besides, this is a specialized technique for pill concoction called the Hundred Flameburst Surge Control Technique. It has five levels to it. If you master the first level, it allows you to control the eight flames, and each level doubles the flames you can control, so the fifth level allows you to control hundred and twenty-eight flames with immense accuracy."

Sophie's eyes flashed as she seemed interested, "Sounds interesting. Can I learn this technique?"

Back then, Davis had induced used this technique a lot to concoct pills. Besides, it came from the master who forged Tyriele, so the efficiency of this technique, as well as control, was off the charts, even more than the pill-making techniques they found in the Aurora Cloud Gate.

"I'm not sure how useful it would be for forging but sure. We need all the help we can during realm concoction."

Hearing about the realm concoction from Tina, Sophie's expression sank.

"Don't you feel nervous, Tina?"

"I'm scared to death. After all, we're probably going to manipulate a natural disaster to concoct while also defending the site against other factions."

"…"

Sophie shivered, wondering if she was up to the task, and so did Tina.

"Elder sister Tina, get here. I need your help~"

Dalila's voice echoed out, causing Tina to reply.

"Coming~"

She hugged Sophie before whispering something in her ears, causing Sophie to blink before Tina ran away to help Dalila.

"…"

Sophie was a bit taken aback, not knowing what she should do.

'The storm left, and the coast is clear, but the sea is still stirred, probably wanting to be calmed…? What does that mean?'
