Elsewhere in Heaven Dou City, Li Moxun slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was utterly calm, but the killing intent in his gaze was completely undisguised.
Although the clone had no further connection to him after being separated, merely remaining under the control of his consciousness.
Its death was ultimately no good thing.
Li Moxun remembered this grudge.
As he sat cross-legged on the ground and opened his mouth, he swallowed another two pills.
Pure Soul Power emerged within his body, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began surging toward him.
His strength continued to rise.
By his estimation, in at most a few more days.
His Soul Power Level would break through level 30, making him a genuine Third Ring powerhouse.
However, that was not the most crucial matter at present. The most crucial matter was the Soul Bone.
As Li Moxun slowly rose to his feet, a storage Soul Tool appeared in his hand.
Then, the Forest Wolf Spirit Bone appeared.
Seeing the Forest Wolf Spirit Bone in his hand, A-Tai poked his head out beside Li Moxun with a puzzled look.
He did not understand where Li Moxun had obtained this Soul Bone, nor did he understand what use it had for him.
Yet faced with A-Tai's deeply puzzled gaze, Li Moxun offered no explanation.
He raised his hand, and Erii appeared in his palm.
The tiny Erii stood on his hand, looking at Li Moxun in confusion.
There was a barely discernible liveliness in her eyes, faint though it was.
But as Li Moxun grew stronger, that liveliness would only become more pronounced.
Until Erii fully awakened.
Thinking of this, Li Moxun remained calm. He raised his hand and passed over the Forest Wolf Spirit Bone.
Looking at the Forest Wolf's left leg bone, Erii seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then she opened her tiny mouth and, with a crunch, bit into the Soul Bone.
The originally indestructible Soul Bone was shattered in a single bite.
The next second, Erii hugged the entire Forest Wolf Spirit Bone and slowly swallowed it bite by bite.
As the Soul Bone was consumed, the white scales on little Erii's arms gradually receded.
They did not stop until they had completely returned to normal. Little Erii even seemed to be in better condition.
Seeing little Erii recover, Li Moxun reached out and patted the little one's head.
Then, without restricting her, he let her stand nearby and stare blankly around with curiosity in her eyes.
Li Moxun, meanwhile, sat down and continued cultivating cross-legged.
A-Tai watched all of Li Moxun's actions.
His eyes were filled with surprise as well.
"What a miraculous soul spirit. It can actually improve itself by devouring Soul Bones. Damn it, Li Moxun, don't tell me you're planning to let this little one devour my chest Soul Bone too?"
As A-Tai spoke, he looked at Li Moxun as though staring at a heartless man.
Yet Li Moxun's expression did not change in the slightest under A-Tai's gaze.
"I did consider it, but I haven't decided whether to do it yet. This Soul Bone is still useful to me for now. Later on, Erii's awakening will be more important."
After speaking, Li Moxun looked at A-Tai.
He neither argued nor refused.
Because if he obtained a stronger Soul Bone later, he would absolutely feed A-Tai's Titan Snow Demon King Soul Bone to Erii without hesitation.
To help her recover.
Hearing Li Moxun's words, A-Tai rolled his eyes.
The night passed quickly.
As the morning sunlight spilled down from the sky, Li Moxun slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was calm.
He raised his hand again, but this time, instead of condensing 1,000 points of spiritual power, he drew out 1,500 points.
His spiritual power was currently at the Spirit Sea Realm, but its actual value should have reached around 1,700.
As 1,500 points of spiritual power were consumed, an illusory figure condensed before Li Moxun once more.
This time, a blonde-haired girl appeared.
Their gazes met, and Li Moxun raised his hand again.
This time, a symbol more complicated than any before appeared on the girl's body.
The girl's eyes slowly opened. There was no confusion in her gaze as she looked at Li Moxun, while Li Moxun looked back at her.
The next second, Li Moxun took out Fundamental Theory of Beginner Forging, 150 Methods of Hundred Refinement, and On Forging Methods Based on Fundamental Theory.
After taking out the books, he sat there and began reading them in silence.
The girl who had appeared nearby seemed to pause for a second.
Confusion filled her eyes. Then she too silently sat down, picked up a book, and began reading.
The two quietly read their books.
One possessed the White King martial soul, innate spiritual power at its limit, and the ability to remember everything at a glance.
The other's ability was called Mirror Pupil.
Li Moxun waved at the blonde girl before him.
She was not merely a simple clone, but an existence possessing memories.
However, the memories she could contain were very limited. Li Moxun had only given her a basic setting concerning Zero.
Under such circumstances, apart from Mirror Pupil, her primary combat method, her understanding of nearly everything else was almost zero.
Li Moxun had no solution to this for now. After all, it was already good enough that a clone created with 1,500 points of spiritual power possessed his combat strength.
The only thing she could do was learn alongside him, then pass the memories of what she learned back to Li Moxun.
Other than that, she could currently only serve as a simple combat machine.
Seeing the blonde girl sitting there and studying earnestly, Li Moxun calmly remained seated and continued reading his own books.
The morning quickly passed. At noon, Li Moxun went out to eat, while the clone Zero remained seated here, quietly reading.
Seeing how serious she was, Li Moxun did not disturb her.
Three days passed in almost the blink of an eye.
And so, after the two of them studied beginner forging techniques together for three days.
Li Moxun finally mastered the basic forging techniques and could begin making normal forging attempts.
Li Moxun quietly entered the Blacksmith Association.
This time, he did not control anyone through his consciousness, instead paying directly.
After deducting 12 million from his 45 million in savings, he had 33 million left.
Together with the tens of millions he had earned before, he was not particularly short of money at present.
With this money, renting a forging room at the Blacksmith Association was not difficult.
In fact, renting such a forging room did not even require entering the Blacksmith Association.
He only needed to make an online reservation and pay the fee.
These rooms were rented by the day, at 2,000 Federation credits per day.
After reaching Hundred Refinement, one could rent advanced forging rooms, which cost 1,000 Federation credits a day.
Once everything was arranged, Li Moxun headed directly into the forging room.
It was a row of rather small sheds, each separated into an individual private room.
After entering the private room, he looked at the forging table and the dazzling assortment of tools laid out within.
Most of the tools showed signs of having been used before. Clearly, they were not new forging tools.
But Li Moxun did not mind.
As he stood there quietly and clenched both hands.
His gaze settled on the forging table before him.
