Alchemy & Martial Supreme

Some of the dummies were repairing the palace, keeping it neat and tidy.    

Some were repairing the parterre, keeping the flowers in the parterre blooming for the master of the palace.    

And the puppets here definitely had their uses as well.    

Qin Ming's gaze turned towards the pool that was surrounded by them. There were black stones in the pool.    

At first, Qin Ming felt that these black stones should be used by the dummies in the palace.    

But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.    

Why did the energy of the black stones in the pool disappear by themselves?    

Did he need the puppet to inject new black stones into the pool from time to time?    

Qin Ming's eyesight was very good. Through the shadows of the dummies, he found something unusual.    

"Song Chaoyun, take a look. Is there a white... egg in the middle of the pool?" Qin Ming asked Song Chaoyun who was standing beside him.    

"Hmm? Egg!?" Song Chaoyun curiously looked at the middle of the pool. After a careful search, she finally found the egg that Qin Ming mentioned.    

"That should be an egg."    

"Could it be that the black stones in the pool are all prepared for this egg?"    

Looking at the dummies pouring the black stones into the pond, song Chaoyun suddenly reacted, "Qin Ming, something is not right. If all the black stones in the pond are prepared for this egg, doesn't that mean that all the energy of the black stones has been absorbed by this egg?"    

"This is a Grade Six black stone, and it has been countless of years. This egg has such great ability to absorb so many black stones?"    

Although black stones were precious, every Martial Cultivator wanted them.    

However, it didn't mean that the Martial Cultivator could absorb as many black stones as it wanted.    

The Martial Cultivator couldn't withstand an endless amount of energy. Therefore, even if the black stones were piled up like a mountain and opened wide for the Martial Cultivator to absorb, the Martial Cultivator wouldn't be able to absorb too many black stones in one go.    

This was a Grade Six black stone. Even if a True Dragon Realm expert used up all the blood energy in his body, he wouldn't be able to use up even a single Grade Six black stone's energy.    

But just in this short period of time, song Chaoyun saw another puppet pour the black stone into the pool and pick up all the black stones that had no energy.    

In other words, there was something here that had been absorbing the power of the black stone in the pool.    

The only thing that felt strange was this egg. If this egg was really absorbing, then the origin of this egg was definitely extraordinary.    

"Qin Ming, how many blackstones do you think the master of this palace has? Could it be that these dummies have been pouring blackstones into the pond for countless years?"    

"These are Grade Six blackstones, not First Grade!" Song Chaoyun said in disbelief.    

"I also find it unbelievable." Qin Ming nodded and agreed with Song Chaoyun's words.    

First Grade blackstones weren't worth much. Even if they were piled up like a mountain, they weren't worth a glance to many experts.    

The speed at which the Saint Beast Realm Martial Cultivator absorbed First Grade blackstone was too slow. It was better than nothing.    

Only third grade and above blackstone would have some effect on them.    

Because of this, the value of First Grade black stones was very low. Only those at the True Dragon Realm or even Dragon Realm could use them.    

Usually, when trading in cities, third grade and above black stones were used.    

First Grade and Second Grade blackstones were mostly used as energy for some unimportant formations or for Dragon Realm Martial Cultivator cultivation.    

This was Grade Six black stone. It was a bit extravagant to use it for Saint Beast Realm Martial Cultivator. It was a black stone used by Divine Beast Realm experts on a daily basis.    

Just like that, a basket of black stones was poured into the pool. To use them up just like that, wasn't the owner of this palace a bit too generous?
