Chapter 114 (Continued)

Just as they were about to take off, Xie Juanhan paused again.

The Magic Forest is so vast that if he randomly chooses a direction to look for someone, he most likely won't find him.

Looking at the sky, Xie Juanhan took out a gold coin from his spatial armband and performed a simple divination.

After calculating Telingewei's location, he didn't hesitate and flew directly into the sky towards the calculated location.

It only flew for a short while.

Xie Juanhan then saw the huge cave where Telingewei had originally lived.

He could also faintly smell a strange odor emanating from the cave.

"Telingewei?" Xie Juanhan had a premonition that Telingewei was in the cave.

He landed on the ground and went into the hole.

The dragon's cave was protected by magic, which may be why Telingewei was completely unaware of what was happening at the entrance.

Xie Juanhan entered the cave and immediately smelled a distinct burnt odor and the aura of Dragon Flame.

The cave was dimly lit, and the scattered gold coins reflected a faint glow, giving the cave a kind of beauty reminiscent of dusk approaching.

Xie Juanhan didn't call out to Telingewei again; he quietly went inside.

Deep inside the cave.

A gigantic Black Dragon was spewing Dragon Flame onto a magic circle.

In the center of the magic circle, a pile of Demonic Core of various shapes were being scorched by Dragon Flames.

Level 2 Demonic Core.

Xie Juanhan glanced at it.

Those Demonic Core that had turned white from being burned all came from level two Demonic Beast.

Not only was there a level-two Demonic Core in the center of the magic circle, but there were also piles of powder of various colors around the magic circle.

After being burned at extremely high temperatures, these Demonic Core turned white and looked somewhat like lime.

Xie Juanhan leaned against the stone wall, watching the giant dragon.

The dragon continued to scorch the Demonic Core.

After exhaling the last breath of Dragon Flame, he let out a long sigh.

He looked down at the Demonic Core, but halfway through the action, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

"A-Han?" Telingewei transformed back into human form. "What brings you here?"

Xie Juanhan stepped forward. "It's getting dark, and you haven't gone home yet. I came out to look for you."

Through the thick rock wall, Telingewei seemed to want to see the sky outside. "Is it getting dark so soon?"

"It's not that it gets dark so quickly, you were just too focused and lost track of time."

Xie Juanhan stood beside him, looking at the white powder. "Why are you burning the Demonic Core?"

The powder that Telingewei had just burned through the magic circle didn't turn white like the surrounding waste powder; instead, it had a slightly translucent quality.

Xie Juanhan turned to look at Telinge, and seeing that he didn't object, he squatted down and rubbed the powder between his fingers.

The powder is fine and translucent, possessing Magic Power.

Xie Juanhan immediately knew what Telingewei was planning.

He wanted to purify the energy within the Demonic Core through burning and magic circles, turning it into a pure magic crystal, like Elemental Crystal.

However, Xie Juanhan could clearly feel that even though the Demonic Core under his hand had been burned to powder, the powder and Magic Power were still firmly combined.

Demonic Core powder and Elemental Crystal are completely different things.

Giving this powder to the Goblin to brew fertilizer probably won't work.

Xie Juanhan looked up at Telingewei: "How long have you been secretly experimenting?"

"Just a few days." Telingewei frowned. "This magic circle won't work. I'll change it."

Xie Juanhan, still crouching down, reached out to take his hand. "How many magic circles have you changed?"

Nineteen.

"That must have been incredibly tough." Xie Juanhan shook his hand gently. "You've worked hard."

Telingewei's heart softened, and he bent down to Xie Juanhan's forehead. "It wasn't too hard, just a bit tedious."

Telingewei pulled Xie Juanhan up, and the two kissed in the cave.

After kissing for a while, Xie Juanhan pushed Telingewei away, slightly out of breath, and said, "No, it's already stuffy enough in the cave, and kissing makes it hard to breathe. Let's go out first."

Telingewei's ears burned. "Dragon Flame is choking?"

"No, it's probably the pungent smell of burning." Xie Juanhan turned his head and coughed. "My elemental affinity clashes with fire, so I'm feeling a bit unwell."

Telingewei immediately said, "Let's go out first."

Xie Juanhan: "Wait, take the powder that comes out with you too; this powder has Magic Power."

Telingewei gently nudged his back. "You go out first, I'll clean up this powder."

Xie Juanhan didn't stand on ceremony with him and went outside the cave to wait for him.

Telingewei quickly swept up the Demonic Core powder imbued with Magic Power, put it in a cloth bag, and came out to meet Xie Juanhan.

The two dragons walked home hand in hand.

The furry creatures are all back, and I can smell the rich, sweet aroma coming from the kitchen.

They paced back and forth outside the kitchen, looking extremely anxious.

Finally Xie Juanhan and Telingewei returned, Haxi shouted at the two dragons, "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan: "Wait a moment, dinner will be served shortly."

Before the furry creatures could protest, Xie Juanhan quickly said, "Tonight we'll have fried Demon Bird, braised beast meat, and salad. For dessert, we'll have cake, and maybe some iced fruit jam and drinks, okay?"

Every time Xie Juanhan announced a dish, the furry creatures' eyes lit up a little more.

By the time he finished reporting for duty, the furry creatures' eyes were shining like little light bulbs.

"Awooo!" the furry creatures responded enthusiastically, completely forgetting that Xie Juanhan and Telingewei had returned late.

After dinner and tidying up, the furry little ones ran to the study to sleep.

The two dragons returned to their room to study the Demonic Core powder.

The Magic Power of the Demonic Core was firmly locked inside the crystal, along with other impurities.

Even if you grind it into powder, you still can't easily extract the Magic Power from it.

Furthermore, the difficulty of extracting Magic Power from powdered Demonic Core and complete Demonic Core is almost the same.

Xie Juanhan yawned. "Stop researching, let's go to sleep."

Telingewei: "Let me think of something else."

"No rush, there's no time this year anyway. Even if the Goblin start brewing fertilizer now, they won't be able to use it until autumn and winter, when the plants will be almost dormant."

Xie Juanhan went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he was stimulated by the Dragon Flame aura in the room and sneezed a few more times.

The scent of Dragon Flame lingered in the Demonic Core powder, and Xie Juanhan could smell it as long as he was in the same space as the powder.

Telingewei collected the powder and walked out.

Xie Juanhan looked at him. "Aren't you going to take a shower? Where are you going?"

Telingewei: "I'll take the Demonic Core powder out and be right back."

Xie Juanhan chuckled, "Why don't you just put it in your spatial armband? Aren't you going to study it anymore?"

Telingewei: "It's not worth studying, just throw it away."

Xie Juanhan rubbed his red nose and casually said, "Then pour it into the Magic Wand Tree and use it as sand. The soil on the surface of the Magic Wand Tree evaporates moisture a bit too quickly; use the sand to block it."

The Magic Wand Plant evolved into Magic Wand Tree after absorbing elemental fertilizer.

The study is clearly too small to fit it.

Xie Juanhan moved it outside the yard and planted it in a large flowerpot.

The Magic Wand Plant are growing very well, but with the hot weather and high transpiration rates, they need to be watered every day.

Xie Juanhan had wanted to pick up a few pebbles and place them on the surface of the soil to cover it up, but he didn't have time.

Telingewei responded and quickly poured all the Demonic Core powder into the flowerpot.

Xie Juanhan was unaware that Telingewei had conducted numerous experiments and collected a large amount of Demonic Core powder in his spatial arm ring.

--The Demonic Core is precious; it contains Magic Power. Even though it was shattered into powder, Telingewei couldn't bear to throw it away easily.

He collected at least ten kilograms of Demonic Core powder, poured it into the flowerpot, and spread it as a thick layer.

The canopy of the Magic Wand Tree swayed slightly, but there was no particular reaction.

Telingewei observed for a moment.

Since this conscious Magic Wand Tree doesn't object, then there's no harm in it.

Without a care in the world, Telingewei turned and went back to his room, took a shower, hugged Xie Juanhan, and quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, while the two dragons were still fast asleep, they suddenly heard screams coming from outside.

"Chirp!"

"Awoo!"

Xie Juanhan opened his heavy eyelids, his voice trembling with sleep. "What's wrong?"

Telingewei kissed his forehead and wrapped the blanket around his bare skin. "I'll go see."

Xie Juanhan opened his eyes a crack, then quickly closed them again.

He was so tired that he couldn't get up at all.

Telingewei quickly grabbed his trousers and put them on, then draped his robe over his shoulders and pushed open the door to go outside.

He froze as soon as he stepped into the corridor.

The entire courtyard was as if a storm had swept through, and the plants inside were severely damaged.

At the eye of the storm, a withered Magic Wand Tree grew in a flowerpot, its leaves drooping.

The Magic Wand Tree, however, remained undamaged.

Looking at the surrounding lava, it's clear who destroyed whom.

"Chirp chirp." The startled Companion Beast stepped forward and approached him.

Looking at the wreckage scattered across the yard, Telingewei's mind raced.

Just then, Xie Juanhan's sleepy voice came from inside the room. "What's going on outside?"

"It's alright," Telingewei said calmly. "The yard's a bit messy. You take a nap, I'll tidy it up first."

The Companion Beast looked at them with shock.

Moli and Nibote also looked up at him.

Telingewei maintained a calm expression, reached out and pulled out a handful of gold coins, stuffed one into Haxi's mouth as he was about to yell, and then gave one to each of the other furry creatures.

The furry creatures, clutching gold coins, opened their eyes wide.

Telingewei whispered to the furry creatures, who couldn't make a sound, "Don't disturb A-Han's sleep."
