A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 498 One Year Later

As a creation that Jiang Shuzhou spent thirty years building, the power of the Seed of Flesh and Blood is undoubtedly terrifying.

It contains the life templates of almost all of Jiang Shuzhou's flesh and blood creations. Theoretically, given enough flesh and blood and time, it can create all units of all levels and below, and even things used for production.

At that time, conquering the entire world and achieving self-sufficiency will be just around the corner.

Forget about the Holy Realm and the Legendary Realm; even Jiang Shuzhou can't mass-produce them yet, so forget about the Seed of Flesh and Blood.

Thanks to Jiang Shuzhou's research, although he has not yet been able to crack the ability to create real souls, Jiang Shuzhou has improved the technique of mass-producing fake souls.

The mass-produced false souls improved by Jiang Shuzhou have five times greater control.

This is completely different from the false souls of the previous Extinction Angels. After all, that batch was personally adjusted by Jiang Shuzhou, and it was a masterpiece. Jiang Shuzhou's labor cost alone was a huge sum.

It is sufficient to mass-produce high-level extraordinary beings.

Of course, the experiment was able to proceed so smoothly thanks to Renodia.

Renoir played background music for Jiang Shuzhou for a full thirty years.

She also had to deal with Jiang Shuzhou's occasional song requests.

Just then, a mournful and pitiful erhu melody rang out.

This is Renoir playing.

Why do you have to perform for everything?

"I'm so miserable~"

Renodia drew out her words, her tone filled with misery.

"Do you know that I've been playing for you for thirty years? Do you know how I've spent those thirty years?"

"So what?"

"Didn't I keep you company? Besides, I've been doing this tedious research for thirty years without a single complaint, so why are you so upset about letting me play a little instrument and liven things up?"

Renodia stared at Jiang Shuzhou for a while, then moved closer.

"Give me a reward."

She said.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't have any objections to this. If Renotia weren't a legend, a normal person would have died long ago after playing on it for so long. How could she have played these for Jiang Shuzhou continuously?

"What do you want? Don't even think about freedom. As for the rest, I'll buy it for you if it's not too expensive."

Although Jiang Shuzhou could be a bit unreasonable at times, he was always very generous to his subordinates.

As a mage and alchemist, Jiang Shuzhou's financial situation has always been in a Schrödinger state. Normally, the wealth he has earned is already at a level that is hard for other legends to reach, but he is often short of money.

This is mainly because Jiang Shuzhou earns a lot, but he also spends a lot.

After all, if money isn't reinvested in production, what's the difference between that and not making money at all?

Furthermore, Jiang Shuzhou's floating city has already been designed and is an absolutely high-end configuration.

The primary energy source is the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood, while secondary energy sources are the Giant Elemental Furnace and numerous elemental planes.

These are all expensive. Putting aside everything else, the Blood and Flesh Mother Tree alone is something that other legendary mages wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Although the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood was once a wondrous object, it has now far exceeded the scope of wondrous objects and is developing in a more terrifying direction.

Perhaps before long, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood will become the ruler of the bottomless abyss and the chaotic dream.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhou had refined the Blood and Flesh Mother Tree into his own clone beforehand; otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to develop this thing so casually, otherwise it would have been troublesome if something went wrong one day.

In Jiang Shuzhou's design, the entire floating city is divided into three parts.

Dreams, order, and chaos.

The dream world is mainly created by Jiang Shuzhou himself, after all, it is his own home turf.

Order uses adamantite and mithril as its main materials, just like a normal floating city, only on a higher level.

As for the chaos, Jiang Shuzhou prepared to use legendary flesh and blood to forge it.

Of the three parts, the dream realm covers two sides, enveloping the entire floating city as a defense, while also allowing the entire floating city to freely jump through the dream realm.

Above is steel, representing order, while the reflection below is a chaotic abyss of flesh and blood.

It has two sides to it, which perfectly matches Jiang Shuzhou's own control.

The only downside is that it's expensive, extremely expensive.

But there's nothing we can do about it; Jiang Shuzhou's standards are too high.

Renodia looked at Jiang Shuzhou, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

Give me your first kiss, which you've kept for thirty years.

"..."

Is that all you're asking for?

Although Jiang Shuzhou didn't know why Renotia emphasized that it was her first kiss.

However, considering that Jiang Shuzhou has been focused on his research for the past thirty years and has never paid attention to anyone else, it is true that he has kept it for thirty years, after all, his first kiss is refreshed every day.

"As you wish."

Jiang Shuzhou leaned close to Renotia and kissed her on the lips.

Then, they remained separated for a long time.

Even so, Renotia held Jiang Shuzhou tightly, unwilling to separate.

Until Chahara pressed the dagger against Renotia's neck.

Fortunately, because she and Jiang Shuzhou were of one mind, she did not take action, but her meaning was quite clear.

"What are you stirring up now?"

Jiang Shuzhou originally planned to just give her a casual kiss, but Renotia gave him a deep French kiss.

"Are you suppressing too much of your emotions?"

Renodia remained silent in response to Jiang Shuzhou's question, only giving him a resentful look.

"Okay, wait until I've finished taking care of things."

Looking into those resentful eyes, although Renotia said nothing, she said everything.

"Consider it payment."

"it is good."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Master, you're out. How did the experiment go?"

When Grace heard that Jiang Shuzhou had finally emerged from his secluded research, she immediately rushed out of the laboratory to greet him.

"The results are excellent; Renoir is indeed effective."

If it weren't for Renotia, Jiang Shuzhou might have spent even more time.

After all, he is now truly at the forefront of technology, and Jiang Shuzhou has long since surpassed the Flesh and Blood Gospel.

"Oh, and Grace, remember to help me organize the papers and post them on the Sotheby's website."

As if he had thought of something, Jiang Shuzhou gave instructions.

"Yes, Master."

Nodding, Jiang Shuzhou took out a large stack of papers.

"These are my instructions; follow them."

Grace nodded, indicating that she understood.

Although Jiang Shuzhou only invented one Seed of Flesh and Blood, it does not mean that the only technology he has mastered is the Seed of Flesh and Blood.

He replaced a series of technological breakthroughs.

Such as mass production of false souls, more efficient false souls, collecting souls through flesh and blood creatures, and enhancing the strength of flesh and blood creatures through souls, these are all research results of Jiang Shuzhou over the years.

It can be said that each of these achievements represents more than a decade of hard work for other legends.

But for Jiang Shuzhou, it was just a minor problem that could be solved in a year or two.

"By the way, Master, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Denozhi has advanced to the Saintly Realm."
