Almost 1 hour after he had entered the dark forest, Luan had killed half the monsters found within it.
'223 Third Order Monster Cores, and 312 Second Order Monster Cores, and almost 665 kg of Third Order ore and minerals.' It was a satisfying harvest.
But unfortunately, he couldn't continue. Luan felt the vibration of the dimensional rift and knew that it had only a few minutes left before it closed. Using several times in a row, he went towards the exit to the dimensional rift. When he left, it was already April 14th, Thursday. Setting up a cloud under himself, he floated his way back to Brazil.
"I am back." Luan appeared from above the clouds.
Maira and the rest greeted him, "Welcome back."
"How was it? Was it good?" Ingrid asked.
"But of course, I had a very good harvest." Luan smiled and threw all the Monster Cores to the ground.
"Wow, just wow!"
There were many, and they emitted a very strong Qi.
"I still need to purify everything. After that, I'll let you use this to cultivate," Luan said.
"Even if you want to help us, don't forget that you are our main strength. It's better to use the best for yourself and stay strong. Against a strong leader, enemies tremble from the base," Maira reminded him.
"I know that, so I intend to use almost all of the Third Order's for myself," Luan said.
"Well, it's good that you know," Maira laughed.
"Mm, I'll be busy again; lots of Monster Colors to cleanse... sigh," Luan said with a faraway look.
"If I could, I would help, but only you can purify the Monster Cores," Ingrid said.
"That is true." Luan nodded and waved her closer. Wrapping his hand around her waist, he kissed her cheek and whispered, "I missed you."
"Me too, but now go take a shower. You stink!" Ingrid held her nose.
"Grrrr... Okay, I'll go now." Luan entered the small castle and went to wash.
"See, I said you don't have to worry that he'd be fine." Ingrid smiled at Maira.
"Yes, but as a mother, I still worry," Maira sighed.
"Grandpa, are you out yet?" Luan left after showering and changing clothes.
"Yes, he started preparing to run for president," Maira said.
"Then that's good." Luan put his hand behind his head and started walking, looking at the amount of Monster Cores that needed to be purified. He felt a headache coming on, but it was something necessary to do. There were still monsters to dismantle as well.... Well, he came back but he didn't have time to rest.
'I'm going to create a pill to restore Qi and vigor...' Luan thought.
Luan brought some plants and herbs, but that was useless for pills of this type. What he was going to use was what he got from the giants.
'By the way, I need to go talk to the Nymphs again...' Why did he have to be so busy?
Luan went back into the small castle and began to create pills. Almost 1 hour later, he created some Second Order Qi Restoration Pills and Second Order Stamina Pills.!There were 100 of each. It would be worth it... so he had waited.
Luan was looked upon with pity by his family members, which made him grind his teeth fiercely at them. "Don't feel sorry!"
"Err. Is there anything I can help with?" Ingrid asked.
"Yes," Luan replied, "although I better not say," Luan said ambiguously.
"..."
Ingrid took a while to understand, and when she did, she blushed.
"Idiot!" She hit him and ran away.
Laughing, Luan got more excited after teasing his girlfriend. Holding the Monster Cores he began to purify them. It didn't even take half an hour for his Qi to wear out. It was, after all, a high-level Monster Core. Luan swallowed a Qi restoration pill and meditated for 1 minute.
"Okay, it's working fine," Luan muttered and went back to purifying the Monster Cores.
It was late at night when Luan finished purifying the Second Order Monster Cores. Along with the ones he had before, there are almost a thousand Monster Cores he had worked with.
'957 Monster Cores of the Second Order... This is capable of breaking a country's economy...' With a strange smile, Luan stood up and stretched.
Taking a Qi Restoring Stamina Restoration Pill, Luan felt refreshed.
"Right! It's time to create a better formation for this island," Luan muttered.NThe more protected this island was, the better. This was, after all, the future place where a Tower would be formed.
With 100 Second Order Monster Cores and Third Order Monster Blood, Luan began preparations. He started drawing around the island while scattering the Monster Cores.
Little by little, everything started to shimmer, but the finishing touch was still missing. Luan created 100 talismans with Third Order monster blood and launched them into the sky. As if hooked, the talismans paused and then floated in all directions. Luan began to recite something in the ancient language, and the formation began to be formed, creating an invisible barrier around the island.
Although difficult to see, it was like a very clean glass. If you looked closely, you could see the barrier forming.
"Here he goes doing something amazing again," Ingrid said as she smiled. She felt the pressure of the formation and had to admit that even her heart was stirred by such a concentration of Qi. Although she didn't know the level of this formation, it was at least better than the one at the Dimas mansion. While the formation at the Dimas Mansion was nothing to sneeze at, in comparison with this... it left something to be desired.
"As expected, Luan is Luan, always doing amazing things," Elias smiled.
"Tsk, don't talk like you're a sage." Catharina kicked his ass.
"What did I do?" Elias felt hurt.
"The fact that you don't know proves you're a fool!" Catharina scoffed.
"Err…" Elias pursed his lips but didn't speak.
Luan came back and slapped Elias on the shoulder. "Dude, you're a man, and yet are you going to let her talk to you like that? Or do you consider yourself a fool?"
"I'm not a fool!" Elijah said.
"Then go to her, grab her by her shoulder and say out loud 'I love you!'"
"Yes, I will... Wait, is that what I'm supposed to say?" Elijah was confused.
"Haha, I'm joking with you. Now, seriously, go to her and say, 'Woman, look at these muscles, look at this strength, where am I an idiot?'" Luan encouraged him.
"Yes, I will!" Elijah rose.
