I handed the Sealing God Furnace over to Shana for safekeeping, then called Bai Cheng over and gave her part of the blueprints for the large-scale water pump I had designed, telling her to speed up its manufacture with the Gold-Melting Furnace. I would handle the casting of the precision instruments myself.
With her previous experience constructing the Heaven-Suppressing Formation, Bai Cheng found the large-scale water pump quite simple. Besides, the materials involved were not Peiyi Stone; as long as they offered a little defensive capability, they would suffice. Thus, in less than a day, the water pipes and the main structure of the pump had been completed section by section.
We had previously used Windmist City to excavate Peiyi Stone, so there were drills scattered everywhere at the bottom. We salvaged half of the drills and replaced them with the water-pump pipes, while retaining the other half for mining Earthblood. By noon the next day, we reached the ore-vein region and descended Windmist City to begin our first excavation.
Amid a deafening rumble, the drills bored straight into the earth. Some of the exploratory drilling sites indeed began to ooze a dark-red liquid. These viscous, petroleum-like fluids were undoubtedly the legendary Earthblood, and as the drills were pulled out, the Earthblood really did gush forth.
