Chapter 336 Beginning
Recalling Blake's face on the communication screen, which was even somewhat distorted due to excessive excitement, before hastily disconnecting, Jemin smacked his lips with amusement.
"What exactly did this guy go through in that dimension? It's like he found a mountain of gold," he muttered to himself.
Blake's extravagant purchasing spree after his return has certainly caught people's attention.
He came knocking without stopping, and almost spent all his money to buy up all of Jemin's liquid refined gold inventory. He then placed orders for more than a dozen "Mind Barrier Wristbands".
Judging from the way they were doing it, it seemed like they had sold all their possessions.
When it came time to pay, he found that even his entire fortune wasn't enough, so he simply gave Jemin a discount on some precious biological samples and unknown materials he had seized during that interdimensional war.
"Could he be trying to become a middleman?" Jemin stroked his chin, speculating about Blake's motives, then shrugged indifferently. "Whatever, let him be. I've made enough money anyway."
After mastering the core "elemental spiritual energy conversion technology", Jieming was finally freed from the limitations of human power when refining refined gold, and could use various magic arrays from the cultivation world to automate the refining process.
With automated refining processes, the cost of liquid gold is ridiculously low.
Its main raw material is ordinary gold, which is purified and transformed through a complex magic array. The only hard cost is the military merit required to purchase the gold.
Even taking into account the huge mass loss during the refining process, the total cost of producing the amount of liquid refined gold required to make a standard wristband for "one year" is less than five military merits!
And how much did he sell it to Blake for?
One hundred thousand military merits in one year!
The profits involved are beyond description; they're practically turning lead into gold!
Therefore, Jemin didn't care how much Black could sell for.
If Blake were truly capable of promoting this "Mind Barrier Wristband" and establishing a stable sales channel, Jemin felt he would probably wholeheartedly support it.
After all, this saves them the trouble of developing their own market.
Stopping his attention on those things, his focus was quickly drawn to two things Blake had provided: a detailed record of combat data and a sample of a behemoth organization that had been sealed away using space compression technology and was emitting eerie mental fluctuations.
"Able to create illusions that affect reality... Does it involve the laws of transformation between the real and the virtual?... Interesting, truly an excellent research sample." Jemin looked at the huge sample, his eyes gleaming with interest.
As a result, in the following decades, Jemin's research schedule became even more packed.
In addition to continuing to study the incense and deity system, analyzing the network of divine power and faith, and poring over the pile of "Instructions for Use of the Level 7 Large Elemental Pool," he added two more items to his work list: analyzing the combat data provided by Blake, and conducting in-depth research on the unique illusionary laws contained in the giant beast sample.
The research is progressing steadily, and another surprise came from Blake.
Over the decades, this guy somehow managed to promote the "Mind Barrier Bracers" and its consumable liquid adamantite.
Moreover, the business is thriving and growing in scale.
He not only made large-scale purchases regularly, but also, with his amazing business acumen, helped Jemin raise the tens of billions of military merit materials needed to build the incense and sacred path in just a few decades!
This windfall greatly accelerated Jemin's plans.
With the knowledge reserves, technical verification, and resource conditions in all aspects basically mature, and the mandatory rest period displayed on the Magic Network terminal having less than two hundred years left, time became urgent.
Without further hesitation, Jemin decided to officially launch his long-planned grand scheme—to build a sacred path of incense offerings in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane!
The first and most crucial step in the entire project was to install the Level 7 large elemental pool.
This is an extremely large and sophisticated project, especially for Jemin at this stage.
Fortunately, he has never stopped studying the instruction manual for hundreds of years and is already very familiar with the countless technical details, energy diversion schemes, and safety regulations involved.
Moreover, the construction team he had previously hired had already reserved all the interfaces and bases according to his drawings when they entered the fourth phase of basic renovation.
Even so, it took Jemin a full ten years to carefully complete the docking of the main body of the element pool, the initial connection of the energy circuit, and the engraving and activation of the core control runes.
When the last interface was perfectly closed, Jieming stood in the control center located at the core energy node of the plane, took a deep breath, and started the activation sequence.
Buzz!
As if a heart had begun to beat again after billions of years of silence, an indescribable surge of vast energy, centered on the elemental pool, instantly swept across the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane!
Even with the massive energy diversion network built in the previous phases of the project to buffer and divert the flow, the entire plane still experienced a violent tremor visible to the naked eye.
The earth roared, and the sulfur clouds in the sky were stirred by an invisible force, forming a huge vortex.
The most noticeable changes occur on the Earth's surface.
Countless volcanoes that were originally dormant seemed to be injected with a stimulant, suddenly awakening and spewing out towering columns of smoke and scorching lava.
Some of the cooled and solidified black ground was quickly covered again by the rising crimson lava from below, turning into churning lava lakes.
In many other previously stable areas, huge cracks appeared, and subterranean fire erupted!
The concentration and activity of fire elements across the entire plane increased by several orders of magnitude in an instant!
The air was thick with the smell of heat and sulfur, as if the plane itself was trembling with excitement at the sudden influx of massive energy.
Fire-type magical beasts dwelling in various places let out roars and howls, a mixture of fear and excitement.
However, the one most affected was the Black Giant Hatchery, which was of utmost importance to Jemin!
Prior to this, even with the three phases of dimensional infrastructure projects gathering the free energy of the entire plane, the incubation pool's operating efficiency was still not high, and it took up to a year to nurture a black giant.
Especially after Jemin made underlying modifications to the incubation pool, enhancing the Black Giant's potential and granting it reproductive capabilities, the incubation speed slowed down even further.
But when Jemin arrived at the incubation pool, he witnessed what was nothing short of outrageous:
In the center of the incubation pool, the life core of the black giant, which originally needed to slowly absorb energy and condense its form, seemed to be injected with surging life force by an invisible hand the moment the energy of the level seven element pool was connected!
It expands dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its internal structure rapidly reconstructs itself.
Dark, liquid metal skin covered it, and the massive body quickly outlined a ferocious and powerful silhouette...
Just one minute later, a complete black giant radiating level three energy fluctuations suddenly opened its eyes, which were burning with dark flames.
With a low roar, it nimbly crawled out of the churning energy pool and respectfully prostrated itself before Jemin!
One minute, a level three black giant!
This represents an efficiency increase of over 520,000 times compared to the previous year-long incubation period!
Looking at the newly formed, powerful black giant before him, and feeling the pulse of boundless power emanating from the plane beneath his feet, Jemin finally broke into an uncontrollable smile.
The energy core is in place!
