Zhao Fu checked the time. It was already nine at night, with ten hours left until seven tomorrow morning. Within those ten hours, Zhao Fu discussed matters with Xian Ru and found that there was enough time.
Xian Ru could now spend two hours crafting the arcane tool, while the remaining eight hours could be used solely to send it over.
With the matter resolved, Zhao Fu let out a breath of relief. He first returned to Apocalypse World and found Bai Shan, telling them to temporarily halt their research on the top-tier Teleportation Array and first successfully develop that threshing machine so it could be put to use.
At the same time, Zhao Fu gave Bai Shan the manufacturing blueprint for the threshing machine, explaining it in detail and sketching several simple diagrams.
Atop a nine-meter-high platform, Xian Ru stood at its center in a long dress, ready to craft the arcane tool. Her hands constantly formed seals, releasing invisible ripples. For a time, fierce winds rose, accompanied by the faint rumble of thunder.
Two hours later, Xian Ru cut open her wrist and let blood drip onto a jade pendant. The pendant transformed into a blood-colored rune and sank into the jade. In the end, an illusory yin-yang symbol emerged within the pendant, and the arcane tool was complete.
"Ali! Quickly deliver this item to this location," Xian Ru said after finishing the arcane tool. She stepped down from the platform and spoke to a man who had been waiting at the side for a long time.
The man nodded, placed it inside a box, and swiftly departed. Soon afterward, he boarded a helicopter and vanished beyond the horizon.
At six in the morning, a pale sliver of dawn surfaced at the edge of the sky.
