Chapter 614: Chapter 608: Strange Stone

Since Lolo was currently unable to handle this top-grade Star Ring, David Jones could only seek other means, consulting both Tracy Harvey and Margaret Yule separately for information about Blacksmith Masters in Rosewood City.

In fact, if he truly needed help, his teacher and senior sister Audrey Harvey would be the best choice.

It was just that Audrey had announced in April that she would enter closed-door cultivation, and she had yet to emerge.

And it seemed that Teacher Lilith was still in an area with no signal, as even the message he had sent two days ago had received no reply.

…

Purple Haze Club.

The crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling emitted a bright glow, filling the entire office with a faint scent of roses.

Margaret Yule, engaged in her duties, couldn’t help but smile when she saw the message.

Her goal was simple, not to catch up with David Jones’s pace but to be of help to him.

In Rosewood City, there were about a dozen Blacksmith Masters, and Margaret Yule didn’t know any of them personally, but as luck would have it, there happened to be a member of the Purple Haze Club who came from a Blacksmithing family.

Across from her, Jade Bailey, who had just finished editing an elixir formula, looked up with curiosity in her eyes.

“Vice president, has there been some good news lately?”

“No,” Margaret shook her head slightly as she looked at her phone.

“Jade, could you please go to the Alchemy Room and call Charles Clark for me? The president needs his help with something.”

Jade Bailey nodded gently, and before long, an ordinary-looking young man joined them in the office.

“The president wishes to meet with Grandmaster Clark, and I wonder if you could introduce him?” Margaret said concisely.

Yes, that’s right. Charles Clark was born into the Clark Blacksmithing family of Rosewood City, and he was the legitimate heir with the right to inherit the family leadership.

However, Charles had only lackluster talent for blacksmithing, while he showed a keen interest in Pharmacy, especially after he gave up blacksmithing for Pharmacy, which led him to forfeit his right to become the family head.

So upon hearing this request, Charles’s face showed difficulty.

It had been four whole years since he had enrolled at Rosewood College, and he had not returned home since. Perhaps it would be better for the president if he didn’t meddle in facilitating an introduction.

“I no longer have much to do with the Clark family, and with the president’s current reputation, a simple invitation would suffice to visit Grandmaster Clark without my intervention.”

Upon hearing this, Margaret appeared surprised but didn’t pursue the matter further and nodded to show her understanding.

…

“Is the president planning to craft a King’s armor?”

Watching Charles Clark’s retreating figure, Jade Bailey suddenly said.

Without a sufficiently powerful Defensive Arcane Implement for protection, even a King Trainer could fall to the aftermath of a Class VI Pet’s battle.

Therefore, every new King Trainer would craft a set of personal defensive equipment before their Pet advanced to Class VI, lest an excited embrace from the Pet crush their physical body to dust.

And the news of David Jones’s breakthrough to a King Trainer was well-known to everyone at Rosewood College.

“No, the president is looking to meet a Blacksmith Master with a certain expertise in Star Rings,” Margaret shook her head.

“Star Rings?”

Thinking of the peculiar stone she had obtained in the Relic, Jade Bailey couldn’t help but excitedly inquire, “Is the president trying to unlock the seal of the Star Ring?”

At that, Margaret looked at her in surprise, “Do you have a way?”

…

Ten minutes after the message was sent, Miss Tracy sent back a polite refusal.

“In Rosewood City, there is only one Blacksmith Grandmaster, and the orders from the Trainer Guild for him to forge have been scheduled for three hundred years from now; he has no time to see you. I might, however, think of a way to contact a Blacksmith Master.”

“A Blacksmith Master will do, thanks for the trouble, Miss Tracy.”

After sending the message, David Jones seemed to remember something and took out the jade box, which was a gift for meeting Tracy, from his Star Ring.

“Almost forgot this!”

He slapped his forehead and handed the jade box to Daphne, who was the luckiest.

Daphne blinked her eyes and casually opened it. A refreshing fragrance instantly wafted out, drawing the little creatures to gather around and look.

Upon closer inspection, David Jones saw that inside the jade box were three lush and dripping Bodhi Leaves. It seemed as if the green and white veins on the leaves contained the mysteries of rules, and his Illusion-Piercing Eye was instantly activated.

[Bodhi Spirit Leaf]: Level VII Epic Wood resource, can be refined into the Origin Star Space to stabilize psychic level, and effectively resist demonic invasion and psychic attacks.

It can also be directly consumed to enhance understanding in a short time, and those with exceptional talent may even enter a state of sudden enlightenment (effectiveness halved after more than three uses).

Note: By grinding Bodhi Spirit Leaf with Heavenly Stardust into powder, and then blending it into Five Elements Soil, one can refine Spiritual Radiance Soil. A handful of this soil has a slight chance to transform a sentient Bodhi Tree into a Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree, and cultivating it in an acre of soil for a thousand years can evolve the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree into a Treasured Bodhi Tree.

“An acre of soil plus a thousand years, that Treasured Bodhi Tree is nothing short of a gold-swallowing behemoth,” David Jones’s eyes showed a hint of surprise and joy.

Not to mention anything else, just the Bodhi Tree evolution plan spied with his Illusion-Piercing Eye could help him gain access to a wealth of precious resources.

“I owe her big time!”

A wry smile emerged from the excited David Jones.

To give a gift before a request, he might be overthinking it, but he felt that the hot-potato Bodhi Spirit Leaf was definitely not as simple as just a meeting gift.

However, troublesome as it might be, David Jones had no intention of parting with something he had already acquired.

The only dilemma for him was whether to use the Bodhi Spirit Leaf himself or to enhance Rainbow’s psychic level with it.

As for the thought of cultivating and evolving a Treasured Bodhi Tree, it merely flashed through David Jones’s mind before he squelched it.

With a gifted disciple like Rossetti Lindwood around, he didn’t need a thousand years. He could go toe-to-toe with legends, kick emperors, and even change dynasties. There was no need to waste time on a tree.

“Buzz buzz!”

Just then, an alert from the silver ring caught David Jones’s attention with a squint of his eyes.

…

When David Jones arrived at the Purple Haze Club, Margaret Yule and Jade Bailey were drinking tea.

“!!!”

Upon seeing the gleaming Trainer Badge on David Jones’s chest, the two women’s expressions changed slightly. They subconsciously stood up to salute, which was the necessary respect toward a King Trainer.

“No need for that.”

David Jones waved his hand and sat in the seat of honor, his eyes calmly fixed on Jade Bailey.

Regardless of whether the information from Margaret Yule was true or false, it wouldn’t hurt to try it. Who knows, it might just work!

“I heard you have a way to resolve the Star Ring’s seal?”

“Yes, I discovered a stone in a hidden relic that can mysteriously vanish. It can restore order to space, causing the blood pact Rune Circle engraved on the Star Ring to automatically dissipate. Besides that, it has no other function,” Jade Bailey did not reserve.

Working at the Purple Haze Club for this period, she had already understood who could help her remove her dark injuries and break her restraints.

“May I take a look at it?”

David Jones became interested. He had never heard of such a peculiar stone, and not even the Gluttonous Beast, which had access to the Trainer Guild’s official database, could find similar resource information.
