What Do You Call Resources?!
Ten days later.
Qian Daoliu, noticing the magnifying glass attached to the flower bud behind Ivysaur, became intrigued and said directly to Lin Xia:
"Excellent, excellent! To think of such a method to maximize the use of sunlight."
Faced with Qian Daoliu's exaggeration, Lin Xia just chuckled.
Lin Xia had learned a lot from Qian Daoliu these past few days, so upon hearing this, Lin Xia didn't hesitate at all and immediately took out a magnifying glass from her bracelet and handed it to Qian Daoliu.
"Teacher, I have many more of these little trinkets here, you can have this one!"
Qian Daoliu took the magnifying glass from Lin Xia. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, neither gold nor jade, yet exceptionally clear.
Those eyes, which had seen the vicissitudes of life and seemed to see through the essence of all things, instantly Lock-On onto this seemingly simple little gadget.
He did not immediately respond to Lin Xia's thanks, but instead held the magnifying glass up to his eyes and carefully examined the beam of holy light hanging from the dome of the Worship Hall.
Under the lens, the originally soft and pure holy light was condensed and magnified, projecting onto the smooth ground to form a dazzling and scorching spot of light, with a noticeable increase in temperature.
Qian Daoliu could even feel the scorching heat emanating from the light spot at his fingertips.
"Hmm..."
Qian Daoliu let out a low nasal sound, slightly rotating the lens angle, causing the light spot to move and deform, fully demonstrating its Ability to gather light and heat.
After several attempts, the usual kind smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a seriousness almost like that of a researcher, while a glimmer of inspiration flickered deep in his eyes.
Looking at Qian Daoliu's focused expression, Lin Xia felt both curious and apprehensive, wondering what this Grand Pontiff, with his profound and unfathomable mind, would think.
A moment later, Qian Daoliu down the magnifying glass. He didn't immediately explain anything to Lin Xia, but instead gathered a barely perceptible golden light at his fingertips and gently swept it through the air.
An invisible ripple spread outwards.
In less than three breaths, a figure appeared silently from the depths of the Worship Hall, like Gui Mei.
The figure was shrouded in a faint holy light, obscuring his face; only his restrained yet powerful Soul Power fluctuations could be sensed. He knelt on one knee, his posture extremely respectful.
"The Grand Pontiff."
"Um."
Qian Daoliu responded and casually handed over the magnifying glass.
"Have you understood the principle behind this?"
The figure in the holy light took the magnifying glass with both hands, held it up to its eyes, and examined it briefly against the light source.
His movements were extremely professional and swift. His fingertips gently caressed the edges of the lenses and the frame structure, and he even tried to input a trace of his Soul Power to test its reaction.
Soon, his head, enveloped in holy light, seemed to nod, and a deep voice, tinged with barely concealed excitement, rang out.
"Reporting to the Grand Pontiff, I understand now. It gathers the essence of the sun, transforming scattered light into a unified whole, and softness into sharpness! Although this object itself has no soul-guiding runes, its principle is extremely clear!"
"Very good."
Qian Daoliu's voice regained its usual composure, yet carried an undeniable command.
"Understand the essence of its focused light. I instruct you to find a place with the most abundant sunlight west of the Holy Light Flower Garden and build a special training room there."
Qian Daoliu extended two fingers and began to sketch out the blueprint.
"Firstly, its roof must be neither tile nor stone, but must be cast from the purest crystal, the one most capable of bearing and guiding light energy, into a massive convex array to cover the entire roof. It must be able to gather and amplify the sunlight and Angel Holy Light projected down to the greatest extent possible!"
"Secondly, its inner walls must be paved with mithril, the most reflective metal, forming an arc, like... well, like encompassing the entire sun! This ensures there are no blind spots in the training room, and that every ray of light can be reflected and superimposed countless times, ultimately converging at the center of the chamber!"
Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on the Ivysaur beside Lin Xia, its huge golden-red buds gleaming in the holy light.
"The ultimate goal is to create indoor light intensity and purity that is ten to dozens of times greater than that outside!"
"This allows those within it to bathe in an almost tangible torrent of light, extracting every ounce of the sun's and holy light's power to temper themselves and enhance their cultivation! This item inspired me..."
Qian Daoliu pointed to the Ivysaur flower bud.
"This little gadget is a miniature prototype of the Light-Gathering Furnace!"
"Understood!"
The figure's voice was filled with obvious excitement and fervor, as if he had received a mission to forge a divine artifact.
He bowed deeply once more, then his figure blurred, and he and the original magnifying glass vanished instantly into the holy light, clearly eager to carry out this epoch-making mission.
Lin Xia listened in stunned silence, her mouth slightly agape.
This... is it taking the principle of a magnifying glass and applying it directly to the architectural scale?
To create a unique cultivation room on the entire continent, combining solar energy and holy light energy for super-concentrated and amplified light?!
This is far superior to the Holy Light Hall of the Plant Academy!
This skill and imagination are truly worthy of the title "Limit Douluo" and the representative of the Angel God!
"Teacher, what's wrong...?"
Lin Xia's voice was filled with shock and a hint of confusion.
Qian Daoliu turned around, a gentle smile returning to his face. Seeing Lin Xia's surprised expression, he explained:
"It's very simple. Your Martial Soul, Ivysaur, is based on grass and poison, especially its flower bud, which contains a trace of the source of transforming Angel Divine Power. The Soul Ring of the Holy Sun Wheel Flower has already transformed it, but its potential is far more than that."
Qian Daoliu pointed to the huge flower bud on the back of the Ivysaur.
"Bathing in ordinary sunlight, it can slowly absorb and grow. But if placed in the Light-Gathering Furnace I just envisioned, it will receive ten or even dozens of times more pure light energy than the outside world, mixed with amplified angelic radiance!"
"This is like replacing thin porridge with concentrated nectar of life!"
Qian Daoliu's tone carried a rare hint of anticipation.
"In that ultimate realm of light, the efficiency of light energy absorption will increase exponentially. Ivysaur's evolution speed, the accumulation of its inner light source power, and even its in-depth exploration of the strange transformation ability of Angel Divine Power will all be accelerated like never before!"
"This will also greatly benefit the tempering of your own Soul Power and your affinity and control over light-attribute energy. This is another gift I'm giving you, to help you and this partner truly unlock that immeasurable potential!"
Lin Xia instantly understood Qian Daoliu's profound meaning and painstaking efforts!
This is no ordinary training room.
This is clearly a light energy accelerator tailor-made for him and Ivysaur, a gateway to a higher level!
"Teacher!"
A surge of gratitude welled up in Lin Xia's heart. He immediately bowed deeply. Ivysaur sensed Lin Xia's excitement and great kindness. Instead of making its comical bowing gesture, it lowered its huge head and let out a soft hum of utmost sincerity and gratitude.
"Da na!"
The two, one human and one frog, share a deep connection and together express their sincerest gratitude to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite.
