Among them were some of the things Saville saw and heard while traveling through the Other Plane of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, some of which Xia Duo had previously heard in scattered accounts from Saville.

But this was the first time it involved specific spell details; Saville provided partial details of a spell named 【Dragon Breath Alchemy】.

In Saville's description, almost all Spellcasters in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire could use this innate spell for production and manufacturing; of course, it still belonged to the Arcane Magic System over there.

【Recommended, the source-switching app is really easy to use, download it here. huanyuanapp, everyone can go and try it.】

The so-called 【Dragon Breath Alchemy】 was closer to the Alchemy Array on the Main Plane side, but more flexible, and the Spellcaster cast it themselves. The reason it could be widely popular was largely because the control precision within it was not inferior to external objects.

"It is almost a means of creation that makes wishes come true, capable of directly refining Magic Items, which is why I tried every possible way to understand its mysteries. But the Holy Golden Dragon Empire's regulation of order is truly too strict; many methods could not be used, so I could only obtain this part of the spell details."

Mentioning this matter, Saville always wore a very regretful expression on his face, which also made Xia Duo realize that Saville was also a huge treasure trove; not just this 【Dragon Breath Alchemy】, there must be others.

It was just like how Xia Duo had wandered around Yinnupulasi; although he didn't have much understanding of the creations here themselves due to different magic systems, the objective phenomena were the same, enough to provide him with a large amount of inspiration that could be realized with Arcane Magic.

Thinking about it, it made sense; a strange civilization, even a rough glance could produce a large number of associations, let alone having lived in this civilization for a period of time himself.

Saville said he didn't stay in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire for long, but there might be a discrepancy between his and Xia Duo's perception of how long "long" was. Saville felt it was only a few days, but the actual time might have been several years or several months.

In addition, besides the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, that powerful nation that unified the plane it was in, Saville must have also visited planes with other existing civilizations while drifting in foreign lands; those experiences could also serve as a driving force for the development of Arcane Magic.

Therefore, Xia Duo invited Saville to produce a book, "Travels in Foreign Lands," in the name of enriching the horizons of Apprentices and commoners, to introduce in detail the customs and conditions of the various planes he had experienced.

Regarding this, Saville did not refuse, only indicating that he would start after the Creation Magic project ended.

……

Purple Star Tower.

This time, the meeting place between Xia Duo and Prince Aben was placed directly at the Research Institute of Secret Devices; of course, not inside the Research Institute, but in the Reception Room on the periphery. In terms of Knowledge blockade, the Yimaska side had always been capable.

"Mage Asuosi, how are the test results for those material samples? Which ones are you more interested in?"

"There are many I am interested in, but when I think that I can only obtain the materials themselves and cannot obtain the preparation methods, I, who only perceived Creation Power a few days ago, feel very disappointed."

Xia Duo expressed his desire for the relevant technology without hesitation; Prince Aben guiding him to perceive Creation Power so patiently before was precisely for this moment!

But Xia Duo didn't care; as long as he could obtain more technical details related to creation, no matter how much the other party raised the price, he would always be making a profit.

"Mage Asuosi, let's not talk about the preparation methods of the materials for now; let's first talk about which materials you are interested in!"

"Labels 1402, 598, 450, 305, and 208; these five are still somewhat useful to me, the others are not needed for the time being."

"Label 1402 is an Energy-Conducting Material developed by the Research Institute of Secret Devices not long ago, the remaining 598 is also an Energy-Conducting Material, 450 and 305 are both high-strength materials, 208——"

Speaking of this, Prince Aben subconsciously frowned, "Perhaps it was the negligence of the people below; the material with label 208 belongs to Yimaska's strategic reserve materials and is not for sale."

"Hmm? You even brought it for me to test, yet you say it's not for sale? Your Highness, are you joking!" Xia Duo said with dissatisfaction.

The previous few materials didn't count for much; Netheril had easily obtainable substitutes for them. Only label 208 was special; after testing, this material could completely serve as a carrier for a Tower Spirit.

This was the first time Xia Duo knew that Spirit Material could actually have artificially synthesized substitutes. In Netheril, to obtain Spirit Quality, one had to go deep into the Ether Plane to hunt Ether Creatures.

Any Ether Creature could potentially drop it, but the most stable ones were the Twisted Phantoms. But the problem was that this kind of Ether Creature was too powerful; even a Great Arcanist might not be able to kill them stably.

One must be proficient in mind Spells.

Currently, most of Netheril's Spirit Quality came from hunting ordinary Ether Creatures, but that probability was truly too slim. Xia Duo wanted to build a Warp Beast Farm; besides the fact that Warp Beast Meat was indeed very delicious, obtaining Spirit Quality was also a reason.

It was a pity that the Warp Beast Farm at the Arcane Union's Ether Forward Base could be considered to have been put into operation, but until now, there had been no news of any Spirit Quality being produced.

Instability meant scarcity. Although Xia Duo could split Spirit Quality into the smallest units through the 【Spirit-Closing Blade】, if he wanted to expand the computing power of his brain, relying on that little bit of Spirit Quality was far from enough.

Even if it were enough, Spirit Quality was obviously more precious and could be developed and utilized more deeply. Instead, label 208, a composite material, might already be at its limit if it could replace Spirit Quality in one aspect.

The most critical thing was that this was a material that could be mass-produced; even if the cost was slightly higher, it meant a stable acquisition channel.

Xia Duo had long wanted to expand his brain's Nodes. The 【World Editor】 Spell could protect himself from mind attacks, but it was difficult to take care of others in the Spirit Thought Network unless every one of them learned this Spell, which was obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, a Protection system based on the Spirit Thought Network was indispensable. Xia Duo also had research and preparations in this regard, and the brain played an important role in it.

And now that he had finally discovered a substitute material for Spirit Quality, how could he not be tempted!

It was just that with Prince Aben's attitude, Xia Duo couldn't tell whether this was for bargaining or if it was truly not for sale. But one thing he was very clear about: since he already knew about it, even if he couldn't get the preparation method, he would definitely grab a handful of the material itself.

"Mage Asuosi, I am truly sorry, this was definitely the negligence of the people below; I will punish them, but this material is indeed not for sale." Prince Aben stated his position once again.

But Xia Duo didn't buy it. Having been in Yimaska for so long, he had already earned enough. Those two cheap Energy-Conducting materials were completely dispensable to him; only the preparation method could make him care a little.

But for the label 208 Spirit-Quality-like material, he would absolutely not let it go. Since he knew Yimaska had it, he would definitely find a way to obtain it.

Even if he didn't go through official trading channels, he would think of other ways, including but not limited to lurking, theft, or supporting rebels. It was just that in this way, the relationship with the Yimaska side would be difficult to move onto the right track.

If possible, he still hoped to obtain it normally in the form of a trade.
