The thirst for knowledge never ceases, but each exploration must be founded on experimentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sunlight gradually waned, Ron returned to the workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\" Lily approached quickly, her eyes full of concern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did everything go well? I heard there was some dispute over the final rewards of the combat meeting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master is back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dale bounced excitedly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you get the prize? Did you get the prize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron smiled faintly, gently ruffling Dale’s silver hair:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything went smoothly. Not only did I get all the rewards, but I also acquired some precious research materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He briefly recounted today’s experiences and gains to the two, but omitted details that might be overly technical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone carried an unmistakable anticipation, \"I’ve obtained this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron carefully took out a black ebony box containing the Stand-In Puppet, displaying this precious abyssal treasure to the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! What a strange puppet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dale curiously leaned closer but did not reach out to touch, only widened her eyes to examine closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been repeatedly taught not to touch potentially dangerous extraordinary items casually, even when driven by curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those eyes...\" the Little Sea Siren murmured, her voice tinged with instinctive fear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems... like it’s looking at us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia’s expression was more cautious, her brow slightly furrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the abyssal treasure that can create stand-ins? It looks somewhat... ominous. This aura reminds me of those cursed doll stories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, even within the wooden box, that green-gray puppet exuded a sinister and eerie presence, as if carrying whispers and memories from the Great Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those dark red gemstone eyes, even in a dormant state, seemed as though they were constantly observing everything around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron reassured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Items from the abyss often carry a certain unsettling aura, but that is mostly superficial; what’s truly important is their function.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the lid, and that eerie aura immediately diminished significantly, as if resealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, specific research and activation need to be conducted in a more secure environment. I’ll handle this in the laboratory’s isolation array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the workshop, already planning the sequence of his next actions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, to study the usage method of the Stand-In Puppet, which is crucial for realizing his future ’Melting Furnace Concept’;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is spare time, utilize the knowledge and samples gained from this anatomy guide to further perfect bloodline modulation research;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, and most importantly, make every effort to break through the Meditation Technique to reach the level of an Advanced Apprentice, which is a key step towards a higher realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lilia, help me prepare some mental fortification potions tonight, especially ’Awakening’ and ’Spiritual Shield.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron skillfully distributed tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia nodded, accustomed to not questioning the master’s arrangements at every step:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll prepare them right away. You still have three bottles of ’Awakening’ and two bottles of ’Spiritual Shield’ in the cupboard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron then turned to Dale, his voice softened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little one, rest well today. Tomorrow I will prepare some new ’food’ for you, to better help you digest the energy absorbed before. This time’s ’food’ will include some special ingredients, so its taste might be a bit peculiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dale nodded happily, her large sapphire eyes full of anticipation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be good! Master’s ’food’ is always the best tasting, even if the flavor is strange, it doesn’t matter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her trust in Ron was so pure, like the affection of a stream for its riverbed, unconditional and without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging everything, Ron went to the laboratory on the second floor of the workshop, placing the Stand-In Puppet carefully in the center of the specifically designed array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ritual arrays inside and outside the workshop were all activated by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rune glows shimmered like fireflies in the dark, weaving an invisible barrier that completely isolated the internal energy fluctuations from the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron sat cross-legged in the center of the laboratory, before him was the Stand-In Puppet emitting an eerie aura, now taken out from the black ebony box and placed on a specially designed silver base.\u003C\u002Fp>",878,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.887Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","b8178013da935cc9076a9c86951c24a8fa0b680636106ede270e600e4c63712b","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-238","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-236",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg"]
