Chapter 249: Gathering of Talents
Inside his own room within the Crucible, Li Lang was currently sitting crossed-leg on his bed, staring intently at a piece of cloth he laid out in front of him. Several small brown seeds were lying before him, vibrating nonstop. This scene remained unchanged for a good half of the morning before Li Lang finally reached out for the seeds.
He didn’t touch them directly, simply hovering a hand over them. He closed his eyes, and the vibrations intensified.
A few moments later, the seeds exploded. To be more accurate, they ruptured. Their exterior shells scattered across the room, but his attention was still glued to the same spot. That was because some roots took the seeds’ spots, wiggling around as if they were tentacles of some sort.
However, the roots were moving without purpose. It was as if an artisan was in control, weaving together before forming a miniature tree. Once it took on its new shape, all movements ceased.
Li Lang carefully picked it up and began thoroughly examining it. It didn’t take him long before the toy-like tree faded from existence.
Pressing his hat against him, the man in question soon found himself inside his usual lab.
“Ruby.”
The same miniature tree from before suddenly appeared in his hands, and he quickly threw it inside a glass enclosure that slid into a giant machine.
Some folks may say it resembled 3D printers, but certain appreciators of vintage electronics would say it was more like a fax machine. Except it was enlarged several times so it could even fit a few people inside. It also had a certain artistic look to it, as clear glass was used plentifully at specific angles to reflect the light that evoked a luxurious feeling.
It was a far cry from its previous appearance when Li Lang had just stepped onto the path of cultivation! It was all thanks to Li Lang’s recent breakthrough, causing numerous positive changes to Ruby and its artifact space.
These changes took shape gradually and continued to do so over time. It took place at such a slow pace that the owner in question had barely noticed it due to his busy workload.
Li Lang was currently typing away on his computer, reviewing his experiences with the art of woodsmithing.
