Chapter 62: Chapter 58 Dismantling, Harvesting

Chapter 62 -58 Dismantling, Harvesting

“Mentor Lucien…” Carly handed over her newly redesigned alchemy sketch to Lucien, feeling somewhat apprehensive inside.

After all, Carly was not sure whether this version of the alchemy blueprint could meet the standards Mentor Lucien had in mind.

“Not bad, although there is still room for improvement, this version is already quite mature. Well done,” Lucien said, looking at Carly with a smile.

At that moment, Carly did not smile; instead, she waited nervously for the twist that usually followed Mentor Lucien’s praise.

However, this time, after fretting for a while, she didn’t encounter the expected “but,” which left Carly looking bewilderedly at Lucien, confusion apparent in her large eyes.

“What, do you want to continue to improve it?” Lucien asked, seeing the questioning look in Carly’s eyes and understanding her confusion, he teased her with a joke.

Carly gave an embarrassed chuckle and shook her head while taking a small step back to dodge Lucien’s feigned knock on her head.

“Hehe…” Once Carly was sure that Mentor Lucien truly approved of her ultimate alchemy blueprint, a relieved smile spread across her face.

Lucien carefully reviewed the alchemy blueprint, his mind quickly recalling the alchemy knowledge Carly had mastered over the days by modifying the blueprint again and again. “No time like the present, Carly, so next I will help you repair the hunting bow.”

Saying that, Lucien closed the blueprint and waved his hand gently. “We’ll do it just like the version you’ve designed. You’ve now mastered some of the secrets of alchemy, so I need you as my assistant.”

“Yes!” Carly nodded emphatically, her eyes sparkling.

Without hesitation, Lucien quickly took the materials that had been prepared beforehand. After a moment of hesitation, he put down a few pieces of starry iron ore and took out a damaged spatial pendant he had obtained from Nolian.

“Hold on a moment, I’ve got a better idea,” Lucien said spontaneously, preparing to start the furnace when he remembered the damaged Witch Tool that had been gathering dust for quite some time.

With his current level of alchemy, he was ready to attempt taking it apart and retrieving the remnants inside.

After the disassembly, the damaged Witch Tool would be rendered completely useless. However, for a precious space-storage Witch Tool like this one, its main crafting material was the rare spatial Crystal Stone.

While it was impossible for the waste material from the disassembly to be restored back into spatial Crystal Stones, and even the original properties of the spatial Crystal Stones would be greatly damaged, some residual effects would nonetheless remain. This type of waste material, naturally, would still be considered an alchemy ingredient, and in aspects such as spiritual power conduction, it would no doubt be superior to the most basic alchemy material, starry iron ore.

If the waste material from the disassembly were used in the crafting process, it might even endow the hunting bow with some unexpected special effects, such as a slight and rare spatial attribute.

What was more important was that Lucien still had a complete spatial Crystal Stone. Using waste material with partial spatial Crystal Stone properties for an alchemy experiment would also serve as practical training for him to later craft his own Witch Tools…

With this in mind, Lucien no longer hesitated but quickly placed the damaged storage pendant on the experiment table.

Carly was somewhat puzzled by Lucien’s actions, but still obediently began to assist Lucien in the detailed disassembly of the storage pendant.

“Carly, activate the third wizard formation.” Lucien, watching the pendant gradually turn red from its original bright silver color under the heating of the wizard formation, quickly instructed Carly.

“Yes.” Carly swiftly activated the third wizard formation; then, following Lucien’s command, she slowly sprinkled some pre-configured powder onto the pendant, which was still being heated.

Hiss hiss hiss—

The powder began to react with the pendant upon contact, causing the pendant’s surface to start burning.

This was actually a method to continuously deconstruct one of the auxiliary materials used in the original crafting of the storage pendant, thereby destroying the overall structure of the pendant.

At this time, Lucien’s spiritual power was highly focused, meticulously maintaining the stability of the pendant’s internal structure. He was also trying to temporarily clear a few key stages and carefully disassembling some of the internal structural stabilizing Magic Runes.

“Move back!” Soon, under the dual assaults of external delicate damage and internal deliberate collapse, the damaged pendant reached its limit; its internal space also, in the final moments before shattering, entered a critical state between stability and disintegration.

Lucien did not dare to hesitate. After a low growl, he quickly transferred the entire pendant into the third wizard formation, which had been prepared for a while, rapidly cooling the pendant that was originally in a red-hot environment under the effect of the wizard formation.

Crack—Unable to bear the structural damage any longer, the surface of the pendant cracked open with several fine fissures, and the contained space also began to collapse at that moment.

“Out.” Lucien’s spirit quickly connected with the partially collapsed space inside the pendant and, taking advantage of the momentary stability of the remaining space, transferred out everything contained within.

After all, if it were even a little slower, those items would be completely lost in the spatial turbulence along with the collapse of the space.

And just as Lucien extracted a small pile of items, the pendant on the other side had already fractured into several pieces, deconstructed from a Witch Tool into raw materials.

“Ugh…” Carly naturally saw the items pulled out from the space pendant, and when she saw one of them preserved in a transparent can, Carly’s stomach churned, unable to hold back, she vomited outright.

Inside the can, there was a half-dissected head.

This “preserved” head was one Carly actually recognized. She had even considered this person a target she must surpass for a while.

“Lu… Lucien mentor!” Carly couldn’t help but look at Lucien, but soon she calmed herself down, took several deep breaths, and murmured a voice only she could hear. After a while, Carly somewhat sheepishly spoke up again, pointing at the head, “Lucien mentor, may I borrow this specimen to take a look?”

“Oh, it’s just a human head specimen. If you’d like, you can take it, but let me tell you, these meticulous human specimens are needed by those who study Human Body Modification. If you’re interested in this field, I need to teach you some prerequisite courses ahead of time…” Lucien, unaware of Carly’s emotional shift, spoke somewhat casually.

At this moment, part of Nolian’s collection had already caught Lucien’s eye.
