Now that I’ve got it, I can plant the tree and have Mago Berries to spare, and finally, I can make Poké Candy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the tree still needs time to grow—about a month?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was already growing late; Guang Tai took out Pokémon food and instant meals, ate a simple meal, then prepared to set off on his return journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Timegazer did not move; Guang Tai sensed something and asked, reluctant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you leaving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ti~! Ti!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timegazer nodded firmly—the shrine was repaired, so she could now time-jump; next time she returned, she wouldn’t have to worry about having no place to land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the forest is so boring—workshop life is far more fun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timegazer opened her arms and high-fived Double-Edge and Lillipup, then landed gently on Guang Tai’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She loved Double-Edge, Lillipup, and Guang Tai—she loved everyone in the workshop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she left, she would remember them all; for a Pokémon who can time-travel, this farewell isn’t really a farewell—she’ll return here again in some future moment, in the blink of an eye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time she comes back, everyone will surely have evolved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also that sneaky Turtwig who kept digging into the soil—Timegazer had wanted to mention it, but thought it would betray Turtwig’s trust, so she stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, but Turtwig will soon become a companion to everyone! Timegazer believed this wholeheartedly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rabi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would gather good things from the past and future and bring them here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t forget to visit the shrine occasionally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Thank you! If the shrine breaks again, come find me—I’ll fix it for you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai smiled, watching as Timegazer vanished through time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faint ripples spread through the surrounding space, gradually fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Without psychic power, this backpack’s gotten way heavier! Double-Edge, help me hold it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Guang Tai and the two Pokémon left, perhaps an hour—or maybe three—when the sky slowly darkened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the forest stirred again; a towering Scyther appeared near Timegazer’s shrine, circling it for a long time, recalling the human and Pokémon he had just seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes—that human with the strange double blades. So he came to repair the Forest God’s shrine? If the Forest God approves of him, won’t he dominate the outer forest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely a nuisance—but no matter, I’ll defeat that human myself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a second voice sounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scyther whirled around, then fled in defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. Thud—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy footsteps echoed through the ancient forest; a looming black shadow appeared near Timegazer’s shrine, its face marked with H-shaped glowing dots, emitting a faint “bili-bili” noise and unintelligible sounds like Lei Ji, staring intently at the restored ancient shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Guang Tai were still here, he would recognize this shadow’s true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Legendary Giant—Regirock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the forest, bidding farewell to a friend just met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But life and life will meet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Guang Tai returned to the workshop with Double-Edge and Lillipup, he saw another small hole in the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai fell into brief thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, this little hole keeps being dug up and refilled every day—was this Timegazer’s doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it the work of Diglett?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no clear idea about the hole, Guang Tai carefully inventoried the surrounding herbs and found nothing missing; he temporarily let it be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back inside, he neatly arranged the newly acquired materials, then took out the Evolution Stone and immediately began polishing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the new Evolution Stone was polished, and its unique effect appeared once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unlocks latent potential—can be seen as a slow increase in EVs. Double-Edge is actually a very powerful Pokémon in battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai handed the polished Evolution Stone over; Double-Edge immediately grabbed it—but\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu-yo~!ゞ(⊙)╯╬!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pu-yo~!ゞ(⊙)╯╬!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right blade: I’m the true body—the Evolution Stone belongs on my hilt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left blade: I’m the true body—the Evolution Stone should be placed here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both blades flew out of their sheaths, their surfaces gleaming with metallic luster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were about to clash, Guang Tai was about to speak—when Lillipup shook her head, looking utterly perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillipup leapt onto Guang Tai’s hand, took the Evolution Stone, then bounced over behind Double-Edge, where a small, unfinished shield lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillipup tapped the small shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did both blades of Double-Edge realize!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right—we’ve got a shield now! No need to fight over it—just put it on the shield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo-wu (Pu)~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, Lillipup!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillipup: “Bai~()~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done,” Guang Tai said, stroking Lillipup’s head and leaves; she happily swayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo-wu~” At that moment, Double-Edge drifted over, looking uneasy—both blade-eyes fixed on Guang Tai, asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When will we become one consciousness again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll need to find the Dark Stone first,” Guang Tai replied. “There’s no help for it—you and Lillipup both need stones to evolve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo-pu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double-Edge looked downcast; though this state looked cool, having two minds was truly strange!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai hadn’t expected that even though Double-Edge fought daily, he still thought this form was cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cool? Of course! Even Guang Tai had to admit it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you slung Double-Edge across your back, wouldn’t you look like a legendary swordmaster—with two blades, you could even be a dual-wielding swordsman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s plant the Mago Berry, then rest. Lillipup, I’m counting on you to care for the Mago Berry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wa-wa!” Lillipup pulled up her little skirt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take care of the Mago Berry! Just leave it to me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to stand tall like Timegazer, using her powers to do amazing things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This precious fruit—she would nurture it with all her care!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch of herbs and crops had been harvested; it was time to quickly sow the second batch. Fertilizer had just been bought—the soil’s fertility was no longer a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillipup continued her work, now fully focused on cultivating the Mago Berry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai~ bai~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miracle fruit, miracle fruit()~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, I carefully polished the shrine—Guang Tai looked at me with such surprise. My effort was noticed. Yes—I can handle polishing statues too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced into the house; in the fourth empty room, a large pickling jar had appeared—perhaps for making some special food item called “Double Pickle”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever Guang Tai makes is always magical! Just remember that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, gazing toward the other side of the hill—where wisps of smoke now rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lillipup’s leaves swayed as she peeked from the edge of the field, watching Guang Tai and Double-Edge work; Guang Tai was digging a charcoal kiln.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A charcoal kiln is an underground pit or simple earthen kiln; Guang Tai chose a gentle slope and began digging, wondering—if only he had a Pokémon that could dig tunnels, this wouldn’t be so troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Double-Edge was repairing and chopping wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much effort, the earthen kiln was finished, with air intake and smoke vents carved out. Guang Tai took a large pile of repaired wood from Double-Edge and packed it into the completed kiln, then sealed the top with mud and straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air intake also served as the ignition point; as Guang Tai lit the kiln, wisps of smoke soon rose from the vent. During charcoal production, the kiln must be regularly checked for cracks or gaps in the earthen covering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he estimated moisture content changes based on smoke volume and color, then sealed the kiln for slow smoldering—cutting off oxygen until it cooled naturally, a process that would take a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Guang Tai placed a Charizard statue beside the kiln. The statue could make flames burn more fiercely—but since charcoal-making relies mostly on smoldering, how much effect it truly had was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What magical transformation would the oak forest’s charcoal undergo after this unique firing process? Guang Tai was already looking forward to it—he could add a new product to the workshop’s shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Herbal juice… will anyone buy it? After making glassware, I’ll bottle and sell the juice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good herbs, Energy Root, Revival Grass, Berries, Xiang Guangtai, Double Pickle… am I running a pharmacy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiang Guangtai clay, Guang Tai thought—he’d ask Diglett to help dig for it next time he visited the village, rewarding them with berries and vegetables. If they could dig some up, that’d be best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of being busy is truly good—the workshop’s reputation is growing louder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1462,"2026-06-19T14:14:16.243Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2c896e669bdab5de92189d7cc0d04dc27b6bc48af182ce8eb9d936e56f9800e7","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-52","master-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-chapter-50",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmaster-craftsman-in-the-world-of-elves-cover.jpg"]
