Chapter 236
Manifestation was an inefficient use of time and resources for the Heaven above the Heavens—in other words, Arthur, Merlin, and Cruze. How many minutes did it take to deal with an invading force of Legion or Grotesque? Definitely not sixty minutes. This meant that even if the Heaven above the Heavens members took care of their responsibilities in a few minutes, the gem points they consumed would be the same as that of other users who actively used their entire sixty minutes of manifestation. In other words, the three people would be spending their precious gem points but also idly wasting the majority of their manifestation period.
For the run of the mill Masters, even an hour of manifestation was not enough time for them to resolve most situations. This was because they couldn’t deal with all the enemy forces at once like the three members of the Heaven above the Heavens. Moreover, if a manifested Master were killed by the enemy, the country or region that the Master was designated to protect would be devastated. So reinforced weapons became an essential item for many Master level users, and the market price of reinforced weapons increased constantly.
“Anyway, what’s going on with you? Recently, you’ve only been corresponding with me through mail.”
“This time around, I want you to make something a little special.”
“Something special?”
Merlin held out the bottle that held out the liquified Anyform Stone to Aidelin, who looked at the bottle with a puzzled expression.
Then once he looked at the bottle a bit more closely, Aidelin spoke with a tone of surprise, “Is it a metal? No, it’s not a metal. Rather… it’s more like a jewel. A liquid jewel? Can something like this happen? What is this?”
“I was curious about that, too. It seems like a great treasure when I see how it’s emanating an unknown type of spiritual qi, but… why did something like that come out of a user’s body? Is it a new type of spiritual core created by the Golden Pill Immortal Technique?”
Both Quiet Heaven and Aidelin expressed amazement over the liquified Anyform Stone. They knew of the existence of mercury, a metal that turned into a liquid at room temperature, but they had never heard of a jewel that existed as a liquid at room temperature. However, Merlin was even more surprised when he saw and heard Aidelin’s reaction and response.
