Chapter 1052: Smithy
Vanity could only take them so far, but the other core disciple had ended up helping them out. With access to a private workspace, they could form a much better item, and the access to tools made it even better. Sage was wary of using up any consumable items like Fire Stones, since the workshop wasnt equipped with any Earth Flames. Stealing things would be more noticeable than adding random objects like he was now.
When no one was using the workshop it was sealed up with an isolating array that was placed over the whole area, which kept any in progress projects in a preserved state as well as maintaining the quality of ingredients in the nearby storeroom. It also blocked sounds and energy fluctuations to prevent anyone outside from disturbing those within. It also hid what he was doing inside and made for a perfect place to experiment. Once this place presented itself, Sage started training using a Blacksilver Pawn to forge. It wasnt a task outside the realm of possibility, but it wasnt something hed tried before. With the Inner World it meant that he could quickly become an expert. Since the Soul Fragment allowed him to transfer his Qi and the Pawns body gave him hands to work with, then he could conceivably create most items.
The first thing to learn was whether or not he could use other Heavenly Materials with the Blacksilver Pawn and he found that the answer was no. Only, it wasnt quite that simple. While he was blocked from sending a wisp of Samsara Flames through, it felt like he was pushing at a wall. Testing followed up next and while a great amount of Qi didnt help, a greater amount of soul energy did. By enlarging the Soul Fragment, the wall blocking him got thinner. With more he felt that it started to become permeable and instead of sending the flame through he used the fragment to shape the Samsara Flames on its own. With the Pawn using the flames on its own he was pleased, but there were still two problems. First of all, he had to enlarge the Soul Fragment from afar, rather than up close and personal like on the Inner World. Worse yet, using the Heavenly Materials on the Inner World was too easy.
More tests followed. Soul Fragments couldnt be sent through another Soul Fragment. He also couldnt just send soul energy through either. It wasnt something he knew how to manipulate. Yet, theyd just proven another option and so it was the Eye of the World that was the solution to the problem. The Qi he sent through could be converted into the dark water from the Eye of the World, the dark water that nourished the soul. The only problem was that it would take some time and so the Soul Fragment formed a sliver of Blue Icesilver and slid into the crack between two pieces of wood on a nearby storage cabinet. The Hammer was left to be used as a material while the Soul Fragment slowly strengthened itself with a constant flow of Qi from Sages body. It wasnt a quick process, but there was another benefit to the many years long process as it gave Sage the chance to improve his control over a Heavenly Material wielded through the Soul Fragment.
They were trying the same trick as before, putting a name on a little metal card to get the crown gifted to the Elder they felt would get them closest to their goal, but this Elder that found the crown simply put it into his Storage Ring and left it there for a few years before taking it out. They heard murmurs from a very jealous man, who had kept it a secret to ensure nobody would be looking for it or recognize it when he started to use it. Just like that, the first magic tool was lost and the many layered chain necklace unraveled from the inner band of the crown and replaced itself with Blue Icesilver. The chains slithered out of the room like a snake while the Elder slept, something that only happened once a month.
On the plus side, despite the years lost, the Elder had brought them into the living areas of the higher level members of the Spire. It stopped in front of a door bearing a name it recognized as a prime target and formed a small box of Blue Icesilver on the floor beside the door frame. Then it lifted the lid and slithered inside. There was another small hiccup as the Elder they were targeting didnt seem to care. Instead, they gave the necklace to their Direct Disciple, but this ended up working out in their favor as the disciple in question lived with their master like a servant and allowed them to collect much more useful information than they had before.
By the time Sage rose up to the next rank and gained his Immortal Body, it became even easier to manipulate the Blacksilver Pawn and to interpret its senses. He now felt he could keep a few of them going at the same time before even noticing any strain. Theyd also gathered the information they were looking for.
When the Shifting Jade Mountain arrived at the Spire once again, Sage knew exactly what he had to do.
