A convoy left Stone Salt Town under cover of night.
The convoy carried no lit torches, relying only on the drivers' experience and the moonlight to find its way.
The carriages passed through the outskirts of Miport and turned into an abandoned mine.
The camouflage at the entrance was moved aside, revealing a pitch-black passage leading underground.
Sarah stood quietly beside the enormous Breeding Pool.
Behind her, several Worker Mantises moved on jointed legs, working together to carry an enormous crystal tank to its designated position.
The tank was sealed, with three Storm Colossal Squid eggs inside.
Veylin approached, followed by a cart piled high with materials.
Obsidian rock marrow, moonlight vine mother plants, royal jelly crystals... every item was a treasure valuable enough to bankrupt an ordinary noble family.
But the most striking item was a fragment sealed inside a crystal case beneath layer upon layer of runic restrictions.
It was only palm-sized, yet lightning flickered within it. This was a fragment of the Heart of Wind, an object formed from the manifestation of storm authority.
Looking at the enormous eggs in the tank, Veylin decided to perform Bloodline Purification first.
He had already chosen its direction. Although the Gloom Envoy had greater combat power, it did not suit his current needs.
What he needed most now was an underwater combat vehicle, not a powerful individual.
If he could acquire more Storm Colossal Squid eggs in the future, Veylin might consider modifying a few.
He deftly picked up his experimental equipment, processing and mixing the various materials in sequence.
Before long, a potion was ready.
The potion was pale blue, with sparks of lightning dancing within it.
Veylin poured the potion into the crystal tank.
As the blue liquid touched the cultivation fluid, fine arcs of electricity spread outward.
