"Yes. With the empire's current capabilities, we can't process those materials," Banjou said helplessly. He felt a little embarrassed. He was a scientist, yet he couldn't do anything with a few materials. He'd spent days thinking it over before finally deciding to bring it up.
"Ordinary temperatures can't melt those materials. They need heat on the level of an Enlightenment Realm Expert's power," Banjou added.
Lu Yin nodded. It was just like the Crimson Yuan Ancient Bronze he'd obtained from the sourcebox. Ordinary methods couldn't do anything to materials like these; only extreme heat would work.
He could find an Enlightenment Realm Expert, but one with a fire talent would be much harder to come by. Still, it might be possible to convert star energy into flames through Enlightenment Realm methods. Unfortunately, Ake hadn't returned to True Yu Star and was still stationed in the Great Wood Rock Area, so Lu Yin couldn't find an Enlightenment Realm Expert for the time being.
"Give the order to keep an eye out for ancient fire sources and sourceboxes that emit high temperatures," Lu Yin said.
Banjou acknowledged the order and took his leave.
What a shame. He'd wanted to incorporate these materials into his Cosmic Battle Armor and upgrade it several levels, but it seemed he'd have to put that aside for now.
If he couldn't upgrade his Cosmic Battle Armor, he could improve something else. For example, his Void Ring. He'd never thought to upgrade it before, but now he could give it a try.
With that in mind, Lu Yin entered the secret chamber in the royal manor. He blocked Ghost Marquis out, raised his hand, and summoned the die. He tapped it, and it began to spin slowly.
He deliberately left his Void Ring elsewhere. It wouldn't matter if
