Chapter 702: Verdant Flame Amethyst Magic Rod
After receiving a section of the Life Tree Trunk from Luna, Sein began working on upgrading his Verdant Flame Heart Rod.
Consequently, he also temporarily suspended his classes at the divine tower academy.
Sein ventured to the top floor of the Divine Tower to access his mentor’s laboratory when he had to extract the core of the Inextinguishable Meteorite.
Lorianne had not yet returned from the Magus World and was presumably still settling financial matters in Verdant Leaf World.
Following the war in Verdant Leaf World, its resources were swiftly plundered, with the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring channeling these assets to the Magus Alliance in exchange for a substantial reserve of magicoins.
This wealth was earmarked for Lorianne’s next acquisition—a space fortress.
After the war ended, Lorianne's extensive connections in the Magus World became apparent.
Among the merchant families that acquired the special resources from Verdant Leaf World, Sein was only familiar with House Jobbs, who had purchased Bamboo Lef Dragonflies. The other clients were all Lorianne’s connections.
Lorianne probably did not rely on the influence of her mentor or seniors in these dealings since Sein had not seen anyone from the Verdant Flame Faction visiting the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring during this period.
Lorianne had granted Sein access to various parts of the Divine Tower. While her private rooms and laboratories remained off-limits, Sein could enter the world laboratory and the major alchemy laboratory that was essential for his current project.
Sein personally worked on cutting the Inextinguishable Meteorite, spending months reducing its hundreds of meters diameter into a fist-sized spherical purple crystal—its core that contained immense power.
Even a Rank Two pyromancer like Sein could feel the heat it radiated, prompting him to ponder the cosmic conditions that could spawn such a strange meteorite.
With the purple crystal ready, Sein could finally modify the Verdant Flame Heart Rod.
He also made sure not to waste the remaining meteorite fragments which had been acquired by spending magicoins to issue a gathering quest through the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s command center.
These fragments could be ground into magic spices for use in casting wide-range area-of-effect spells that harnessed the power of the Everburning Violet Flame.
The combined powers of the Verdant Flame and the Everburning Violet Flame synergized to amplify Sein’s strength far beyond merely doubling it.
Sein could not help but wonder if other members of the Verdant Flame Faction managed to blend different elements into the verdant flame.
Since his mentor was a pure dendro mage, Sein chose to follow his own path and judgment after moving away from the mainstream teachings of the Verdant Flame Faction.
In the Astral Realm, there were no such things as fixed combinations of elements, and the application of the verdant flame extended beyond the teachings passed down by senior members of the Verdant Flame Faction.
After all, true innovation required thinking outside the box.
Sein was extremely pleased with the direction of his experimental research and development.
He was particularly inspired by the results from body tempering experiments performed on Reina and planned to integrate this new pyro elemental energy into his next body tempering experiments.

Having been promoted to Rank Two only thirty years ago, Sein was immensely satisfied with his growth, which surpassed almost all of the mages in the Magus World.
On top of that, these stats only reflected his capabilities in his normal state.
Wielding his newly upgraded magic rod and activating his elemental body, these values could easily triple, showcasing the formidable power of the knights and mages of the Magus World!
No Rank Two creatures born in other worlds could possess such exaggerated abilities within a few decades of their breakthrough.
Of course, Sein was undoubtedly among the elite of his peers!
He tentatively named his new magic rod the “Verdant Flame Amethyst Rod”.
Emitting two different-colored elemental lights that resembled a pair of dragons playing with a pearl, the rod was poised to unleash its full potential in Sein's hands, exerting an unimaginable oppressive force and bringing despair to all who faced it.
