This made Faleau feel miserable. He would be injured a few dozen times a day, but he didn't need to worry about mana consumption. The Demiplane didn't lack mana, and as long as he didn't lose his head, he could quickly recover.
After torturing Faleau for a month, along with his research of truth runes, Faleau rapidly advanced to the 7th Rank of the Archmage realm, and with Lin Yun 'help, it was a lot easier for Faleau to comprehend Laws in the Demiplane than outside.
By the time Faleau couldn't keep going, Lin Yun reluctantly ended his training and then opened the treasury of the Demiplane to let Faleau choose his own materials to craft his own True Spirit Magic Tool.
Every mage's Core Meditation Law Set, Magic Conducting Rune, and area of expertise were different. Furthermore, every mage had a different personality, so the True Spirit Magic Tool crafted by others couldn't display 100% of its power.
Moreover, the True Spirit Magic Tool crafted by oneself had a natural 100% compatibility and could definitely display 120% of its power in battle.
Faleau's expression was very calm as he looked at Lin Yun 'treasury, but he was thoroughly stunned after opening the door.
It was like a square with no end in sight. Rows and rows of bookshelves that were hundreds of meters tall were neatly arranged inside. There were even glowing numbers in the sky that marked the different areas.
There was a crystal platform at the entrance of the treasury with a sphere of light floating above it.
"Put your hand on the sphere of light and see what you need. You can take anything you need here. I suggest that you tailor a magic staff and two True Spirit Magic Tools for yourself, but only you know what to do."
After saying that, Lin Yun turned and left. Faleau swallowed with difficulty. Even if he was in charge of the Gilded Rose and had seen all sorts of good things, he still found this treasury unbelievable.
Especially when he put his hand on the sphere of light and sensed the information stored within the treasury. Faleau stood there in a daze for a few minutes.
"Abyssal Black Water, Horned Demon's Horn, Flame Demon's Heart … There are so many Abyssal materials, I wouldn't be able to find so many even if I searched all of Noscent's auction houses.
"And these Trojan Gems, Bloodstone Gems, Elemental Amber Crystals …
Unbelievable, this is the most comprehensive treasure trove of materials. Oh sh * t, there's even Eternal Dark Gold. Heavens, such high purity Eternal Dark Gold, did Sir Merlin dig a few large Eternal Dark Gold mines? "
Just sorting out the list of materials took Faleau half an hour. There were many materials he didn't recognize and he had to look at the detailed introductions to understand. Most of these materials were unique to the Abyss and couldn't be found in Noscent.
Abyssal Magic Iron was a common material in the Abyss. Any Demon that could build their own fortress would use it to lay the foundation and floor. It was a scarce resource in Noscent, not to mention other materials that had never appeared in Noscent.
Faleau was no longer able to maintain his calm demeanor. He was like a hungry ghost that hadn't eaten for a long time seeing a few hundred tables of the best delicacies.
Three days later, Faleau left Lin Yun 'treasury with a large pile of materials, perfectly satisfied. It was called a treasury, but it was actually a storage of first-rate materials. Apart from Extraordinary Magic Tools, only materials were left in Lin Yun's collection.
After all, Lin Yun could craft any True Spirit Magic Tool, so he could craft anything he needed.
After training Faleau and upgrading him, Lin Yun took out a lot of good things and threw them to the Gilded Rose. Many of the things he had obtained in the Raging Flame Plane were given to the Gilded Rose's employees. Especially those alchemists that had followed the Gilded Rose since its opening in Andalusia. Every one of them got good materials that they couldn't buy.
To an alchemist, Magic Tools weren't the most important, technique and materials were the most important.
Lin Yun took out some of the more precious and hard-to-obtain things and stored them in the treasury for later construction of the Shelter Tower. The rest were all distributed to the people that followed him, and every one of them obtained a lot of benefits.
The Gilded Rose maintained a stable expansion while Lin Yun continued his research in the Natural Demiplane. He had greatly improved this time, and he could research a lot more truth runes. From the time he participated in the Starry Sky College's gathering until now, he had researched a thousand truth runes. These comprehended truth runes were all integrated into the Natural Demiplane.
To be more precise, they were integrated into the Natural Demiplane's pillar, but the influence on the Natural Demiplane was still ongoing. The Four Elemental Laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind had already started branching and evolving at a very fast speed. According to that speed, by the time he researched four to five thousand truth runes, the Natural Demiplane's Four Elemental Laws would thoroughly evolve from a small sapling into a towering tree.
At that time, the Four Elemental Laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind wouldn't be too different from a complete world. Even if the Natural Demiplane was thousands of times smaller than a true world, the Laws wouldn't be too different.
The Sky Pillar Mountain had been integrated with the truth runes, and the power it emitted was getting stronger and stronger. The nature of the entire mountain had changed. The interior of the mountain was no longer made of ordinary soil. It had turned into rock, and there were even metals inside.
'I wonder what the pillar will look like in the end …'
After comprehending the truth runes, Lin Yun fused his comprehension with the Natural Demiplane and started remodeling Pabiete. He followed Agalon to the Puppet Plane for a month and accumulated a lot of components. Many of them could be used on Pabiete. Even if they weren't suitable, they could be used on Pabiete after some remodeling and adding new materials.
After all, these components and materials all came from a level 45 puppet, they were definitely the most suitable for puppets. Pabiete was only level 43 now, so using these components was a bit too extravagant.
But Lin Yun didn't feel that it was extravagant. Pabiete had awakened his wisdom, but the crucial parts of his memory system had been sealed. Raising Pabiete's level and unsealing the memory system was the most important thing.
After some remodeling, the control system was optimized, the energy system was strengthened once again, and a lot of black matter was added to the devouring system. All kinds of key components and non-key components were replaced with the best ones.
After some remodeling, Pabiete reached the peak of level 44 and was only a bit away from advancing to level 45. This gap wasn't because of the components, but rather because of the compatibility between the components.
Pabiete's three ability runes needed to be worn in with his new body, and the new components also needed to be worn in to thoroughly fit. Pabiete would only be able to reach level 45 once all the components were thoroughly fused.
This time, Lin Yun focused on increasing Pabiete's flexibility. After staying in the Puppet Plane for a month, Lin Yun had a clear understanding of the battle between Heaven Rank powerhouses and the advantages and disadvantages of puppets.
Level wasn't the most important thing, and even power wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was whether or not one could get rid of the enemy.
In the Puppet Plane, the first time he faced a level 46 puppet, that big guy's ability rune was Critical Hit. It was so powerful that as long as it hit Lin Yun once, Lin Yun would definitely die. But after a whole day of bitter fighting, Lin Yun wasn't killed because the other side's attacks were completely useless.
Puppets fought according to the guidance of the battle system. Even if a Heaven Puppet had awakened wisdom, it would still focus on the support of the battle system. The higher the level of the puppet, the lower the reliance on the battle system.
But this kind of situation made it very easy for the puppet to deduce its next movements, especially for a guy like Lin Yun who had the Magic Array and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Even a puppet two ranks higher than him could be killed, and a puppet three ranks higher could escape.
If it had been a true Heaven Mage, Lin Yun would have already died countless times.
After Pabiete's upgrade was completed, the seal on his memory system loosened a bit. Unfortunately, it was unknown how long it would take for Pabiete to unlock the seal on his own. Based on the current trend, he would have to wait until Pabiete reached level 47 or 48 before unlocking the seal.
After upgrading Pabiete, Lin Yun started researching the black substance. Agalon didn't say what that black substance was, but he explained where it came from.
Recalling the Merlin Family's ancient starry sky path, Lin Yun had the thought of setting foot on that ancient starry sky path, but it was only a thought.
Agalon didn't recommend going to the Celestial Battlefield right now. Last time, he had also sensed that there were unimaginably powerful experts fighting in the depths of the Ancient Starry Sky Path. He had even seen a star being destroyed …
That kind of battle was something that could be observed from the periphery and one would instantly be torn to shreds by the fluctuations of the battle.
Although he was curious, Lin Yun didn't plan on risking his life to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield. There were so many powerful existences in the future, and there were several hundred recorded powerhouses who all disappeared after entering the endless void.
He kept researching the black substance, but he still didn't have a clue. He used all kinds of methods, but he couldn't figure out what that black substance was, what was the principle behind mana devouring, and where the devoured mana went.
He had a fist-sized black substance devour a level 39 mana crystal, but it still didn't change. He also had it devour a bottle of Mana Water, but it still didn't change much.
After all, a bottle of Mana Water was definitely enough for Lin Yun to completely recover his mana. The amount of mana consumed was simply astronomical and was enough to cast a few dozen 9th Tier Spells.
Moreover, because of the black substance's characteristics, almost all detection spells were completely useless. Even a specially manufactured alchemy machine that would appear eight millennia later couldn't track where the devoured mana went.
Sitting in the alchemy laboratory, Lin Yun frowned as he looked at the black substance continuously devouring his mana. He had used all kinds of methods to research it, but he hadn't been able to get any useful results. Let alone researching what that black substance was, even if he could use it, only the puppet's devouring system could make use of it.
Since he couldn't research it, Lin Yun temporarily gave up and started preparing to perfect the Electromagnetic Cannon. But when he took out the cannonball, Lin Yun suddenly froze.
'Right, this black substance's characteristics are bound to be unable to be researched by all magic methods, so why do I have to use magic?'
The electromagnetic cannons were made using the operating principles of electromagnetic cannons, but they were still very rough. Whether it was the electromagnetic railgun or the cannonball, they were both semi-finished products. The current might was completely due to the perfect basic law runes and Extraordinary Power.
'If the electromagnetic cannon can be used, then can I use magic power to make some special tools? Can I continue researching the black substance from a different angle? For example, a microscope?'
'Especially an optical microscope, I can observe it without relying on any magic power.'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun felt a headache. He only knew the operating principle of an optical microscope, but he didn't know the true manufacturing method. But fortunately, he had magic power.
After spending three days, he finally used magic and alchemy power to make a half-meter-tall microscope. After adjusting it, it could magnify hair a few hundred times. He pulled out his own hair and put it under the microscope. He could clearly see a faint halo covering the surface of his hair. This was the characteristic of an Extraordinary lifeform, and it was the characteristic of an innate Extraordinary lifeform.
After fumbling for more than half a month, he finally made a huge optical microscope that was half a meter tall and had a magnification of 800,000 times.
He extracted one-tenth of a drop of the black substance, processed it, and placed it under the microscope. What he saw was a flat surface that looked like the most delicate magic silk. Although he still couldn't see the specific structure, he could already see the surface clearly.
He continued using ordinary alchemy techniques to process the black substance. He divided the drop of black substance into a few hundred parts and then flattened each part before using the microscope to observe it again. He could see some small black dots converging together, but he could only faintly see them. If he didn't look carefully, he would still be able to see a flat black surface.
But seeing this scene, Lin Yun was overjoyed. After such a long time, he had finally made some progress. He could even see that the black substance was like a bottomless pit devouring the surrounding mana, but the devouring speed was far slower than when it was condensed.
This was in line with his previous research. The more black substance converged, the greater the devouring power.
After faintly observing the composition of this black substance, Lin Yun had an idea. According to the research's theory, the more black substance converged, the stronger the devouring power. Conversely, the less black substance there was, the weaker the devouring power.
In the end, this was also related to density. What if the density of this black substance was infinitely reduced?
As he thought of this, over thirty methods appeared in Lin Yun 'mind.
After all, not all materials could be used directly. For the vast majority of materials, the higher the purity, the better. That way, when used, the calculation error would be very small and within an acceptable range.
But after ten thousand years, the new material revolution would erupt, and countless new materials would appear every year, many of which had very high value.
Just like the current tungsten-manganese gold. The reserves of this thing in Noscent weren't small, but it was a kind of low grade material that no one mined. Mages simply wouldn't use this kind of thing. Only a few mortals would use it when crafting weapons.
Pure enough tungsten-manganese gold could increase the toughness of weapons, but anything with purity below 99% was nothing more than scrap iron.
It wasn't until ten thousand years later that an alchemist was refining a new material that Noscent didn't produce. Eight thousand years later, he discovered a new material in a newly discovered plane and accidentally dropped a drop of Tungsten Manganese Gold into it.
Then, a completely new kind of material appeared!
At that time, those alchemists pursuing purity discovered that one gram of mithril was added to one kilogram of Star Iron and fused according to a special method to obtain a new kind of material that far surpassed Star Iron's characteristics. A drop of Lava Crocodile's Tear was scattered in fifty thousand kilograms of pure water and fused with a fusion agent to obtain a completely new catalyst.
Once the material was dissolved and scattered to a certain extent, the result would be even better. Could this black substance be the same?
If a drop of black substance was evenly distributed in a cubic meter, or even ten, or even a hundred cubic meters, wouldn't the overbearing mana devouring property of the black substance be less powerful? Wouldn't it even be able to devour mana?
Thinking of this, Lin Yun's face was filled with the ecstasy of an alchemist. He immediately immersed himself in his research. The refining method of the fusion agent had already been imprinted in his mind, but he didn't need these things at the moment. Moreover, many new materials needed raw materials that couldn't be found at the moment.
Many new raw materials and ores burst out during Noscent's Planar Colonization Era.
Moreover, Lin Yun wasn't planning on using this trump card so soon, because the Gilded Rose's current strength was enough to develop. It would be safest to wait until they had enough strength before releasing this new material.
After the fusion medium was compounded, Lin Yun immediately started experimenting with all kinds of materials one by one.
After 23 days, Lin Yun had a strange expression as he looked at the piece of metal in front of him, a complicated expression on his face.
After experimenting for so many days and wasting countless precious materials, the final successful material was actually Abyss Magic Iron.
