Saine stayed in the Eska Underground Metal City for half a year. →

The main problem is that there were too many experiments conducted, including those about the Mermaid Ilisa, the Construct Master Yuli, and even Saine's own experimental arrangements, which amounted to a whole bunch.

After six months of experimentation and improvement, Saine's various stats have changed again.

Mental Strength: 1

Magic Power: 3

Physical condition: 4

The rapid increase in Mental Strength is due to the fact that, for the past six months or so, Saine has almost never stopped growing and improving his knowledge.

The rate at which Magic Power power increases can only be described as average.

What slightly displeased Saine was that his physical growth had plateaued in the past six months.

It should be noted that in the past six months, Saine has not neglected his Azure Flame Body Tempering Experiment.

The reason why the rate of physical growth has slowed down is not because its overall growth rate is slower, but because it is slower than the growth rate six months ago.

Both being Level-1 Magician embarked on the path of Azure Fire Body Tempering, Saine's growth rate far surpassed that of other first -Level-1 Magician in the Azure Blaze Sect.

But even so, Saine was not satisfied.

"It was during the time when the Bixi was around that my physical condition improved more quickly."

"That special life magnetic field..."

"No, we must find a way to bring it to the Azure Source Holy Tower and have it stay there permanently!"

In the laboratory, after stepping down from the Laboratory Table, Saine held Crystal Ball in one hand, looked at the values recorded inside, and couldn't help but sigh.

After only half a year apart, Saine already misses Bixi.

Saine's own plan was to have his Mental Strength and Magic Power power both exceed 200, and his physical constitution increase to over 140 points, before arriving at the Western Islands.

This plan is too difficult for Saine to achieve on his own.

To achieve this, Bixi is indispensable.

After leaving the Body Tempering Laboratory, Saine drank a Nutrient Potion to replenish his strength, and then entered the Alchemy Laboratory next door.

Over the past six months, Saine has gained new insights into the research on manned Space Equipment.

Not long ago, he had just completed a new product and immediately applied it to Yuli. The metal hatch of the Alchemy Laboratory opened under Saine's Magic Power imprint.

As Saine walked to the center of the laboratory, a semi-transparent cover opened from the middle, revealing a dark metal ring inside.

The metal ring is now functioning normally in all aspects, and only the testing phase remains.

Unlike the stunning blue Crystal Necklace worn by the Mermaid Ilisa, Saine's black metal ring was far less appealing, even just in terms of appearance. →

Unfortunately, this was Saine's first time making one.

The fact that it was successfully made already signifies that Saine has great potential and expertise in the field of alchemy.

To further pursue aesthetic appeal would be asking too much.

At least Saine can't do that at the moment; he needs to hone his skills over time.

As Saine entered the Alchemy Laboratory, the Construct Master Yuli quickly followed him in.

As they spent more time together, Yuli became more and more natural in front of Saine.

This is mainly due to Saine's personality; he doesn't usually have any strict master-servant requirements for Yuli.

Because Yuli often helped Saine with some experiments, Saine even granted her a great deal of autonomy and access to the laboratory.

Yuli had just come from the metal warehouse next door. She heard the commotion of Saine finishing his Body Tempering Experiment, so she rushed over immediately.

Perhaps it was due to the Mirage Soul Codex, or perhaps it was due to Yuli's own thoughts, but this female slave of Saine was quite attached to him.

While Saine was in the Alchemy Laboratory, Yuli was tinkering with her Constructed Magic Puppet in the metal warehouse next door.

Don't be fooled by Yuli's sweet and delicate demeanor in front of Saine.

Saine hadn't forgotten how, two months ago, when he went to see Yuli, she was wielding a giant hammer, hammering and banging on the arm of the Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet...

This only shows that Saine's experiment on Yuli's body modification was more successful than expected.

Yuli's physique is growing at a very rapid pace. Although she hasn't reached the level of over 100 points like Saine, she is quickly approaching 40 points, and the rate of improvement is still very obvious.

Sometimes, without Saine even having to mention it, Yuli would approach Saine and look at Saine with eyes full of special meaning.

Whenever Yuli exhibited this behavior, Saine would subject her to Body Tempering Experiment, with each experiment becoming more intense than the last.

"Although there is still one final step of identification and testing, all the data are basically consistent."

"What do you think of your carrying ring?" Saine asked Yuli.

As they spent more time together, Saine gradually developed a sense of equality towards Yuli, and at least sometimes he would consult Yuli's opinion.

"I'm quite satisfied, thank you, Master," Yuli said obediently in a low voice.

Nodding, Saine continued to focus his attention on the black ring in the semi-transparent canopy in front of him.

The cost of creating this Saine ring was considerable.

In addition to the rare materials and Magic Coin spent, in order to increase Yuli's soul resonance, Saine also melted down the Soul Metal he had obtained from the Sea Lizardmen tribe.

The final result was encouraging; all data points met the standards.

And perhaps because of the addition of Soul Metal, the black ring made by Saine has an additional function compared to the Mermaid Ilisa's necklace—nurturing the soul.

"Let's give it a try. If we can really fit you into the spatial equipment, our next goal for the Black Domain will be much more feasible."

"At the same time, security will also be greatly improved," Saine said.

Yuli nodded and respectfully followed Saine to an open area for the experiment.

The black ring that Saine made for Yuli was originally intended to be a bracelet or armband.

But when they arrived at the experimental site, Yuli took the initiative to ask that it be worn around her neck.

Yuli has a long, slender neck and a perfect figure.

However, this ring, which should have been worn on her wrist, was instead worn around her neck by her own request, which undoubtedly made her feel a noticeable tightness and a sense of suffocation.

To Saine's surprise, the tightness and the feeling of pressure to breathe did not make Yuli feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, it gradually excited her, and the various values that her body reported also improved slightly.

This situation left Saine completely taken aback.

After his initial shock, Saine lowered his head and pondered, "Could this also be the effect of Mirage Soul Codex?"

"If you want to use it as a collar, I think we can make some modifications," Saine said, stroking his chin.
