The Right Way to Use Black Stone Rock

After collecting enough Black Stone Rock, the two filled in the excavated area again, concealed it briefly, and quietly left.

Su Zhan returned to his room, intending to study these Black Stone Rock carefully to see what they could be used for and how they could bring him the greatest value.

Jiang Shiyue, on the other hand, wanted to use these to create a wine pot that was exquisite in both appearance and function.

They each had their own goals, which left True Man Lin Lie free.

True Man Lin Lie wanted to see what Su Zhan was doing, but found that Su Zhan had set up spatial and Defensive Array outside, so he returned the way he came.

Although he could have barged in, there was absolutely no need. Su Zhan's intention was to indicate that he was in seclusion and should not be disturbed, so he went to find Jiang Shiyue, intending to have a drink and chat with him.

He discovered that Jiang Shiyue's room also had the same Isolation Array, which puzzled him for quite some time. What were those two doing outside without him? Why didn't they take him with them?

Having grown accustomed to a life with three people, True Man Lin Lie was somewhat unaccustomed to returning to living alone; even the wine he drank didn't taste as good anymore.

As a result, the Moon Beast got bored following Su Zhan around and sneaked out to play, only to be caught by True Man Lin Lie to relieve its boredom.

He waved the wine in his hand at the Moon Beast and asked, "Brother, would you like a drink?"

The Moon Beast couldn't figure out his meaning, but knew he meant it no harm. It lay down at his feet, watched as he poured himself a small glass of wine, and then scurried over to taste it.

Speaking of which, the Moon Beast really benefited from Su Zhan's good fortune. Even among the world's great powers, few could afford to drink the Thousand Year Drunk, yet he obtained it effortlessly with the body of a Spirit Beast.

You can even have a brewer who has been living in seclusion for many years personally pour you wine; if word gets out, a bunch of spirits would probably be envious.

Unfortunately, the Moon Beast is heartless and won't be grateful to anyone for this, while Gugu drinks his fine wine.

He drank two cups and then passed out drunk. It's not surprising, since he has the body of Spirit Beast, and the energy within him is extremely pure and cannot be disturbed.

True Man Lin Lie looked at his playmate, whom he had finally managed to capture, who had fallen asleep, and looked gloomy.

He looked at the cup in his hand again, and the thought that he didn't even have a wine jug anymore made him even more depressed.

I just want to wait until these two people come out, then interrogate them thoroughly to find out what they were doing, and then get my losses back.

A few days later, Su Zhan successfully emerged from seclusion. After studying it, he found that the Black Stone Rock was extremely malleable, but apart from its excellent sealing properties, he did not discover any other characteristics and it would not be of much use for the time being.

He was somewhat disappointed, but there was no urgent problem to solve at the moment. Such good materials could be put away and used eventually.

Not long after, Jiang Shiyue also successfully emerged from seclusion.

He held the exquisite wine pot in his hands, his eyes practically overflowing with joy.

Although the wine pot may look like a simple handicraft, it is actually very difficult to make, especially to make such a high-end wine pot with such high-quality materials.

In essence, it's about Refining high-level Artifact, something Jiang Shiyue isn't particularly skilled at.

But having lived so long, he had seen and experienced everything, and after much study, he finally produced a perfect product.

He held the wine pot in his hands, admiring its simple and unassuming nature. He was a little reluctant to give it away and wanted to keep it for himself.

True Man Lin Lie happened to be standing in front of his door. He hurriedly ran up to True Man Lin Lie and said, "Look! What I brought you!"

As she spoke, a glint of pride shone in her eyes, though she tried to suppress it.

True Man Lin Lie took the wine pot from him and examined it carefully. Whether it was its characteristics, its craftsmanship, its carvings, or its materials, it was all perfect!

The ingenious idea of using Black Stone Rock to make wine pots, in particular, seems absurd at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is simply ingenious.

It was able to retain the Spiritual Qi of the top-grade Thousand Year Drunk to the greatest extent, prompting me to exclaim, "Excellent! Excellent!"

"I knew I wasn't wrong. Taking you as my disciple showed I wasn't an ungrateful person." Saying this, he hugged the wine jug and eagerly branded himself with his mark.

Jiang Shiyue couldn't hide his smile and said, "After finishing these wine pots, I saw that there were still some materials left, and it would be a shame to throw them away, so I also made a few wine cups."

They also took out the wine glasses. These glasses weren't as intricately crafted because of their wider openings and less airtight seals, but they were still excellent works of art.

True Man Lin Lie picked it up and looked at it for a few moments before saying, "I think you shouldn't have chosen the path of cultivation back then. You should have studied stone carving properly; perhaps you could have used these stones to carve some unparalleled beauty."

Jiang Shiyue ignored his teasing remarks and simply looked at the finished products with satisfaction.

Su Zhan came over when he heard the commotion. He saw the newly made wine pot and, with great interest, snatched it from True Man Lin Lie's hand to examine it closely.

The more he looked at it, the more amazing and exquisite it seemed; even he, who didn't particularly enjoy drinking, couldn't help but be captivated.

Looking at the wine jug and cups he had made, and then thinking about the pile of materials he had wasted and the ruins he had created without making anything, he realized that he had been working on them all.

Suddenly it dawned on me that perhaps it wasn't that the Black Stone Rock had limited uses, but rather that my craftsmanship was simply too poor.

So he decided to hone his skills and began a new round of seclusion!

He actually had some basic knowledge of Artifact Refining; back in the Devil Race Realm, he had made quite a few of those magical little gadgets described in books.

Later, through some sudden inspiration, he gained the ability to summon and condense demonic creatures.

Since Black Stone Rock has the property of locking in Spirit Energy, can Demonic Power also be locked in?

Su Zhan has mastered the power of Devil Qi, using it to create small Artifact or animals made of Devil Qi.

If it is injected into a finished product made of Black Stone Rock...

No! We shouldn't limit our vision so much. If we infuse it into the Artifact we make, then those Artifacts will have Artifact Spirit, and they will be able to connect with us, being both under our mental control and capable of acting independently!

The more he thought about it, the more feasible and promising it seemed. So he started researching it day and night, neglecting to eat or sleep.

I originally wanted to directly research Puppet that I could control, similar to those monsters with hard shells. Their mobility and strength would be much greater!

However, after many unsuccessful attempts, Su Zhan had no choice but to abandon the idea and instead turn to researching some simpler and easier methods.

Finally, a simple four-legged animal was created based on the prototype of the Moon Beast. After being infused with Devil Qi, it successfully moved and was able to be precisely controlled by the user.
