Book 7: Chapter 157: Mathilde (3)

The odd shift in relationship between the Palace Master and the Dark Elvin Clan would cause unforeseen ripple effects in the future. It was unknown exactly how those matters would unfold, but what was certain was that the Palace Master wasn’t a man who liked to suffer losses. Even to an Elvin Queen.

Within the Golden Flame Mystical World, Dyon sat cross legged, gritting his teeth as he turned various shades of purple and green. By forcefully suppressing his white flames and taking high doses of toxic poison, he was slowly tempering his inner organs. Although he still had a long way to go, he was definitely much stronger than he was yesterday.

“Is he a masochist or a sadist?” Lilianna stared at Dyon like she was looking at a fool. She couldn’t coincide the Dyon who loved to torture his victims and the one who liked to torture himself.

Speaking of which, she had felt quite tortured for the past few days. Unlike Little Rain the Sprite, she needed to be fed a constant stream of soul energy to survive, this was especially so because she was just a partial soul.

The problem was that Dyon refused to allow her into his mind, so she was forced to Madeleine’s. Of course, this wasn’t a bad thing on the surface. In fact, it made her quite happy. Where the issue lied was that after bouts of training, the husband and wife pair would often enter the cushioned beddings of the Demon Sage Tower to “bond”.

If she was in Dyon’s mind, this wouldn’t be an issue because he could use The Seal to block her view. Also, Dyon just had overall better control of his soul. However, Madeleine had no such abilities. Although she could accomplish this task when she was lucid, when she was under the ravages of pleasure, she hardly cared about what Lilianna could or couldn’t see.

In the end, Lilianna fell into another cycle of torture. It wasn’t that she didn’t like watching the two of them go at it, but she had to uphold her image as a Holy Princess. The dichotomy of what she wanted to do versus what she had to project to the outside world was weighing on her mind.

Maybe Dyon was right about her title being too narcissistic.

A strong breath escaped Dyon lips. In the next moment, the poison that had just been ravaged his innards was pushed out from his pores, incinerating the clothes he had been wearing to nothingness.

To avoid hearing Lilianna’s rant about his indecency, he immediately stood and dove into the clear lake that was just behind them. Unfortunately for Lilianna, this was the very same clear lake that Dyon introduced before, meaning one could see all the way to the bottom. Dyon’s body wasn’t hidden at all.

Madeleine smiled as she watched this scene before going back to meditating herself.

She held a large black stone in her hands, but what was odd was the fact wisps of red smoke emitted from it every so often, entering through Madeleine’s orifices and causing her to tremble slightly in pain.

Over the past few months, the two of them had found all sorts of fantastical metals and minerals. Without regard, they had taken them all.

One of these minerals was the rock Madeleine held in her hands now. It was known as Embryonic Flame Stone. Actually, it was this stone that inspired the creation of Flame Tempering Pills. However, their affect was far better than their pill counterpart.

Embryonic Flame Stone was a special mineral known for birthing unique flames by accumulating the essence of Fire over long periods of time. Because of this, it had two stages of evolutions in its life. The first was the accumulation phase, and the second was flame purifying phase. Although neither stage was more valuable than the other, the first phase was by far the best for those who wanted to improve their current flames instead of accepting a new one.

Of course, the other part that decided the value of this stone was how far along its timeline of evolution it was. Obviously, it was the most valuable during its first stage when it was on the precipice of breaking to the second stage. As far as the second stage was concerned, it was the opposite. This was because the more mature a unique flame was, the harder it was to take control of.

Madeleine was lucky enough to find one just about to enter its second stage. This sort of stone was enough for her to cultivate her flames well into the dao realm, which was why she had to be very careful now, or else she would cause irreparable damage to herself.

This aside, it wasn’t only Madeleine who benefitted from their trip. Little Rain, who was currently hugging his shining broad sword against a tree like a little boy on Christmas morning, benefitted a lot as well. Dyon didn’t even bother to fight him over “hard” minerals and just let him feast for now.

As time went on, this paid off though. Little Rain began to ignore the weaker minerals of this category, finally allowing Dyon to collect some of his own.

The other good news was that Little Rain was not only an excellent training partner, he would also be a powerful ally. By Dyon’s calculations, with just a few more improvements to the broad sword and its chains, Little Rain would be able to fight peak celestials – and multiple at that – without much of an issue.

As for Dyon, his gift was all the resources he was steadily accumulating. Wild ideas about an army shining in bright, impenetrable armors and wielding weapons sharp enough to split the earth in two, filled his mind.

He had found massive reserves of Red Mercury, the very same metal that Sabona forged her artificial wings of. It was incredibly light, but it was known that its sharpness after being processed was almost impossible to match.

Then he found a counterpart to Red Mercury known as Sky Mercury. According to the twins, not only was it even lighter than Red Mercury, it was able to defy laws of gravity, allowing you to build large structures that could float in the sky. Building airships out of Sky Mercury was the dream of many a General as their speed and maneuverability was unmatched.

Little Rain also found a massive reservoir of Star Jade, the very same jade that coated the Demon Sage’s palace and helped facilitate yang cultivation. Although he didn’t find any Moon Jade to act as its balance, Dyon was extremely satisfied. After all, they were peak comet grade minerals!

But, this wasn’t even the discovery he was the most happy about. He was also able to find massive reserves of Timeless Stones! These were rocks with residual time will hidden within them and they were half the resources needed to power the Jafari Clan treasure. To top it all off, they could also benefit Dyon’s time will comprehension.

Then, as though blessed by the gods, Little Rain also found him Spaceless Stones, which just so happened to be the other half of what was needed to power the treasure.

As things stood now, Dyon was incredibly happy. These tasks would have been nigh impossible with Little Rain’s sensitivity to minerals considering even Dyon’s divine sense couldn’t pick up on many of them. But, facing life and death really did mete out appropriate rewards.
