However, for Lin Li, the value of the Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons were far greater than that of average Dragon Crystals. Lin Li had finally found all seven pieces of the debris of the stars, but he only had five of them, including Nothingness. The other two, Polar Snow and Raging Flames, had been found in the underground palace of the Dragon Mountain Range earlier. However, Lin Li had yet to truly obtain them because he could not bear to let go of his Ice and Fire Natural Magical Domain.

Connoris once suggested that he use the strong Throne of Darkness that had devouring abilities to move the Ice and Fire Magical Domain into the Eternal Furnace to allow it to be as strong as the Conquering Mageweath. However, there was a harsh condition to be fulfilled, and that was that he needed to find two items to replace the Polar Snow and Raging Flames in the Magical Domain. Otherwise, Lin Li would never be able to use those two pieces of the debris of the stars without damaging the domain.

The two items first had to have fire and ice abilities achieve complete balance because any fluctuation might lead to the collapse of the domain. However, as the saying went, it would be impossible to find two identical leaves in the world. It was indeed a tall order for Lin Li to find two subst.i.tutes that contained ice and fire attributes, and could also strike a perfect balance in terms of mana waves.

Even though Lin Li had left the underground palace for a long time, Lin Li still felt rather hesitant, and he could not decide if he should give up the domain or give up Raging Flames and Polar Snow first.

Lin Li did not expect the problem that had troubled him for so long to actually have a turning point in the treasure vault of the Felan Kingdom. Of course, even if the two Dragon Crystals of the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons were not too different from ordinary Legendary Dragon Crystals in Prince Arthur’s opinion, it still wouldn’t be easy for Lin Li to obtain them.

“2000 vitality potions.” Lin Li had no choice but to admit that the Felan Kingdom had a huge appet.i.te. Those potions were meant for Warriors to break through their bottlenecks. Hence, 2000 potions meant 2000 strong Warriors beyond level-15. One level-15 Warrior didn’t mean much, but 2000 level-15 elite Warriors would form a huge lineup that could easily kill the three Undead Lords in the Shadowglen.

“Master Felic, 2000 potions are meant to be exchanged for these two Legendary Dragon Crystals. If you can provide more, we will be willing to give you whatever you want as long as we can afford it,” Felan said, clearly not hesitating at all.

2000 potions were indeed of equal value to the two Legendary Dragon Crystals. Besides, Lin Li desperately needed the Ice and Fire Twin Dragon crystals. However, with the power of the Tower of Dusk, it would require some time to produce 2000 potions even with Wilkinson and the other pharmacists. The bigger problem was not manpower and time, but the herbs and materials required. In order to produce so many vitality potions, Lin Li would require large amounts of all kinds of precious herbs. Even the Elven Kingdom which had rich supplies of those herbs would face issues with providing such a large amount of herbs.

“A large amount of precious herbs is required for so many potions to be produced. I’m afraid it’d be difficult for the Tower of Dusk to produce that many in a short period of time given the current transaction volume,” Lin Li explained with a look of dismay. However, he did not show any desperate need for the Dragon Crystals. It was not that he was deliberately doing so, but because that was a matter of fact. If the Felan Kingdom didn’t need the potions urgently, he should be able to produce them within two or three years.

However, in this transaction, the Felan Kingdom seemed to be determined to get what they wanted. After hearing Lin Li’s words, Prince Arthur seemed to have thought about it for a long time. Smiling confidently, he said, “Feel free to name the herbs that you need. We should be able to provide some herbs.”

Since Prince Arthur had said so, there was no reason for Lin Li to turn him down further. Hence, he grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, and wrote down all the herbs required for the potion. This time, he didn’t include the herbs that he wanted for himself. The potion wasn’t very high-level, and although the herbs required were previous, they were not considered treasures, and with the current capability of the Tower of Dusk, they really didn’t need to take advantage of this deal.

After the two parties had reached an agreement, Prince Arthur happily invited Lin Li to partic.i.p.ate in the ball outside, saying that he would introduce Lin Li to some wealthy ladies and heiresses. However, Lin Li wasn’t interested in those desperate women at all. Hence, he frantically turned down Prince Arthur’s goodwill and left the Felan Kingdom.

After seven days, Lin Li arrived at the Sky Tower again, and obtained the crystal coffin that had been emptied out. Angelano had also finished studying the alchemy notes in Osric’s journal according to the agreement. Although it was only a short period of seven days, Lin Li could tell from the look of excitement on Angelano’s face that he had benefited greatly.

Since everything had been settled, Lin Li did not plan to stay in Alanna, and thus bade Andoine and Aldwin goodbye before taking Angelano and Connoris back to the Tower of Dusk. He had to hurry because he wanted to complete the transaction with the Felan Kingdom soon and obtain the two Dragon Crystals in order to release the debris of the stars Polar Snow and Raging Flames while keeping the domain intact.

Although Alanna was not close to the Breezy Plains, Lin Li and Connoris each used their Power of Flight to fly, while Angelano flew in his alchemy aircraft without stopping to take a break. They headed straight to the Tower of Dusk, and managed to see it in less than a day.

The Tower of Dusk was much less crowded and lively this time as compared to Lin Li’s previous return. Although he had been gone for a long time, the brutal actions chosen by the Tower of Dusk back then still made others fearful. No one dared to harbor ill intentions against the Tower of Dusk, and even the leaders of some forces who had such ideas would be betrayed by their subordinates who did not want to be implicated by them.

The first thing that Lin Li did upon returning to the Tower of Dusk was to look for Wilkinson and the other pharmacists to instruct them to prepare the vitality potions while maintaining the normal operation of the pharmacy business as much as possible. The potion was considered a Master-level potion in Anril, but according to the pharmaceutical hierarchy in the Dark Age, it was just an ordinary advanced potion. Hence, for Wilkinson and the other pharmacists, it was not difficult to formulate such a potion, but the sheer quant.i.ty was the issue.

It was the first time the Tower of Dusk had ever received such a large order, and according to Prince Arthur, it was just the minimum amount required by the Felan Kingdom. As long as it was within the range that the Felan Kingdom could afford, they would be willing to take as many potions as possible.

At the same time, Lin Li could not help but be amazed. It was no wonder the Marathon Family could rise so quickly from a Smithing Workshop to one of the largest top families in the Felan Kingdom. At the thought of how many armies there were in the Felan Kingdom, Lin Li could also imagine the size of every order received by the Marathon Family who owned 70% of the military ordnance business. Of course, the value of military ordnance was definitely incomparable to the vitality potions’ cost. Every potion was probably worth a few hundreds pieces of elite equipment.

After arranging for Wilkinson and the others to start preparing the potions, Lin Li also instructed his subordinates to place a large order for herbs with various herb suppliers like Seven Leaf Gra.s.s, the Time Consignment Store, the Malfa Family, the City of Late Winter, and the Elven Kingdom.

2000 potions didn’t seem to be much, but their every drop was made up of the essence of plenty of herbs. The 2000 potions would require hundreds of tons of precious herbs that could not be found easily, even though they were not extremely rare.

Having made arrangements for the order to be fulfilled, Lin Li suddenly realized that he had yet to see Gerian despite having returned for a long time. He summoned Beckley and questioned him, only to find out that Gerian grew ambitious after reaching the peak of level-19 before Lin Li left, and was now bent on stepping into the Legendary-realm. Hence, after he went to Alanna, he started secluding himself, and claimed that he wouldn’t stop unless he reached the Legendary-level.

After dismissing them, Lin Li arrived in front of Gerian’s room and shook his head helplessly after hearing the grunts coming from inside. He then knocked on the door, and yelled, “Master Gerian, the enemies are here!”

There was a loud thud in the room, followed by the sounds of footsteps shuffling quickly. The door of the room was then pulled open, and Gerian appeared with his magic staff in hand. Staring at Lin Li with his eyes gla.s.sed over, he yelled, “Enemy? Where? d.a.m.n it, which b.a.s.t.a.r.d is courting death? How dare he disturb me from sleeping!?”

“Uh.” Lin Li touched his nose in embarra.s.sment, and said in dejection, “I’ve just returned. Is this how you’re going to welcome me?”

“Hah, Felic, if the enemies were to be able to fight their way in, those rascals out there would have learned magic for nothing.” Gerian rubbed his eyes and looked at Lin Li before dragging him inside. “Hurry and tell me what happened in Osric’s mausoleum.”

Lin Li could tell at a glance that the magical wave coming from Gerian’s body was similar to when he’d left. Determination alone was not enough for one to reach the Legendary-realm. However, he was tactful enough not to bring up that matter. After entering the room with Gerian, he began to talk about the experiences he had in Osric’s mausoleum.

After telling Gerian the story for the night, Lin Li began thinking about other things again. When he was waiting for Angelano in Alanna, he had already considered the future plans of the Tower of Dusk in his free time. He had a rough plan for the sequence of events and things to be carried out.

Apart from completing the large order for potions, Lin Li also planned to install the crystal coffin, which was the most important part of his plan. The crystal coffin was the core of the Eternal Furnace. Although he couldn’t take out the Eternal Furnace from Osric’s mausoleum, he still had a semi-finished product that was constructed by Osric earlier. Although it was incomplete, the various designs on this Eternal Furnace were ingenious, not inferior to the ones in Osric’s mausoleum. The only things missing were the weapon part and the crystal coffin, which was the core.

When building the Tower of Dusk at the start, Lin Li deliberately left a place for the Eternal Furnace on the top of the tower, and no one else knew what it was for. When the Tower of Dusk wasn’t well known, there were even some who mocked the Tower of Dusk for not having a spire. However, once the Eternal Furnace was placed on top, no one would dare to mock and laugh at it blatantly, though they might gossip and badmouth it in private.

Lin Li proceeded to the top of the tower, and flew into the air while holding two rings in his hand.

One was Brand Of Dusk, which he used to open Osric’s mausoleum. Apart from being able to open Osric’s mausoleum, the other use of the Brand Of Dusk was to control the Eternal Furnace. Only those who had the Brand Of Dusk would be qualified to control the Eternal Furnace. It was precisely because of Brand Of Dusk that Lin Li could enter the Gates of Ashes safely and run into Connoris, who had been sealed in the hammer.

The other ring in Lin Li’s hand was the other gain that Lin Li had obtained during the seven days that he spent in Alanna. Of course, it couldn’t really be considered a gain, because it was the reward that he deserved for formulating the Void Power Potion at the Pharmacist Guild. However, he hadn’t bothered to collect it earlier, because he was trying to decline Balbo’s solicitation.

The ring was the core part of the Eternal Furnace that was created together with the Brand Of Dusk by Osric in the past. It was the core of the Eternal Furnace, the Shadow of the Darkness. In the Shadow of the Darkness, there was an Elemental Sealing Spell that was a forbidden spell of the High Elves. Once the Eternal Furnace was activated, a fire element wyrm would explode immediately, burning the people in the Eternal Furnace into ashes.

Lin Li first raised the Brand Of Dusk in his hand, and slowly chanted a spell to summon the Eternal Furnace. As the lengthy High Elven spell sounded in the air, a ball of flames gradually appeared in the sky not too far away from Lin Li, and soon became clearer.
