Chapter 112: Playing with Ink
As they had planned, the trio were able to return to the mountain before night fell.
While they were scheduled to meet up with their peers in the mess hall, Li Lang headed straight for his chambers instead.
Long Yi and Wei Ping could only shake their heads at their friend’s antics, as they gathered their thoughts on how they would explain to their other acquaintances.
It didn’t take long for Li Lang to return to his chambers, where he immediately delved into Ruby’s artifact space.
“How much longer until the analysis of the sap is done?”
“The first batch is already done, master!”
“If it’s that fast, then the Qi must not be that strong. Well, that’s fine as well.”
Li Lang nodded to himself before heading over to the auto-analyzer to throw in the next batch of sap. The first one analyzed was the light blue one, and there were several other colors waiting to be examined as well.
He then headed over to his computer and began going over the results. A frown slowly formed on his face. Once he had read through everything, he materialized a sample into his hands, so he could inspect it visually.
“Strange. It doesn’t have anything that should make it take on this color. Is it the effects of the Qi?”
That question was answered once the second batch of sap was analyzed. It revealed almost identical makeup to the first. This caused Li Lang to view the material with even more scrutiny.
However, there was only so much he could glean from eyeballing it, so he soon began to use the sap in a round of inscribing. As he had done with the ink sticks, Li Lang began to infuse his Qi into it. It was likely he had to mix it with several other ingredients to form a proper ink, but a quick test with just the sap was enough for now.
