Chapter 2681 - 2682: Volcanic Training?

Feng Yuan was somewhat tempted by Veronia’s suggestion. After all, the gem flowers here were indeed not of great quality; otherwise, they wouldn’t be turning to operate a vacation resort. Even if they can’t procure some for free, buying a bit doesn’t seem to be a problem.

As Feng Yuan was contemplating, Veronia had already walked deep into the flower field. Although this flower field wasn’t particularly large, compared to other gem flower fields, it was at least not visibly small. If it weren’t for the woods outlining the boundaries, one might mistake it for having no end.

"Not considering the close-up view, it’s actually quite beautiful. It’s a pity it’s harvest season now..."

Walking into the flower field, Feng Yuan reached out a finger to gently press the cold gem fruit. Though looking like jade outside, the feel is distinct; beneath the coldness, there’s a hint of warmth, which Feng Yuan guessed might be the fire attribute energy at work.

This vein was born from an active volcano, hence contains abundant fire attribute energy. The energy is absorbed by the gem flowers, eventually forming these fire-attribute-leaning crystal fruits.

That’s also why Feng Yuan was interested. Stuffs made from fire-attribute crystals tend to be fire-leaning. Just perfect for Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, and as for Xiao Ji? The fellow quite enjoys playing with fire.

Flower fields in the harvest phase are only for viewing from afar, so Feng Yuan just took a round for photos with Xiao Ji and chose to leave, as beside taking photos, there’s really not much fun with gem flower fields.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if this thing can be transformed into Spirit Beast Decoration? Like the kind in Qi Realm Timeline, if possible, I’d like to try."

Remembering something, Feng Yuan looked at Tamur to ask. He didn’t inquire carefully about the manufacturing process back in Qi Realm, so isn’t sure if it can be done.

"It should be possible, but...there might be restrictions as you said. If a timeline supplement complements the rules of the Main World, perhaps it’s not a long-standing entry rule."

Before Tamur could respond, Veronia spoke. Though a bit roundabout, her meaning is clear: qualities brought by timeline branches don’t directly change anything in the Main World, but affect by additional means.

Otherwise, once a corresponding timeline branch disappears, the world rules it brings vanish, and the impact on the Main World would be significant.

Hence, changes from timeline branches can’t directly act on any matter in the Main World, as Qi Realm itself is already a special existence; Spirit Beast Decoration likely isn’t so unique.

"Missing something special? Well, making an ordinary decoration wouldn’t be bad either."

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan understood Veronia’s implication. There’s a high chance that due to rule-related issues, some special item is needed to complete Spirit Beast Decoration during real-life manufacturing.

After all, abilities directly integrating into the body as a part aren’t achievable by typical material.

And as for the corresponding ultimate move, Feng Yuan hadn’t managed to test it, though he suspects there are many due to his Spirit Beasts not originating from the Qi Realm Timeline.

Feng Yuan speculates if the Imperial Timeline is annihilated, then the corresponding Anti-Divine Beast Rune might fail as well, even if Anti-Divine Beasts have records existing in the Main World.

No longer dwelling on this issue, Feng Yuan checked the time and directly returned to the service hall; no choice, it was lunchtime, and there was no restaurant providing lunch at the gem flower field.

At the restaurant, Feng Yuan still didn’t run into another Beastmaster. Upon asking the server, Feng Yuan learned that the other person has been holed up at the volcano crater since arriving, where there’s a complete set of service facilities, so staying on the mountain long-term wasn’t affected at all.

"Compared to Bian Shui Fort, the food here is quite decent."

While savoring the delicious meal provided by the restaurant, Feng Yuan commented as Veronia glanced at the menu on the table and said,

"At that price, if it tasted bad, it would’ve gone bankrupt long ago."

"True enough. Luckily, Maomu City is reimbursing all the expenses this time~"

With a sly smile, Feng Yuan remarked, rolling her eyes, Veronia jokingly said,

"Are you ever short of money?"

"Why not? I’m quite poor~"

With a light huff, Veronia didn’t bother to expose Feng Yuan’s lie. Maybe he was that way before, but with a Divine Beast accompanying him, having helped Great Xia extensively this past year, could he really be broke?

"Speaking of which, do you want to let it train a bit?"

Glancing at the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Veronia curiously asked. The overall service level in Chishan Village was much higher than in Bian Shui Fort, since here it’s a high-end vacation focus. Yet, naturally speaking, Veronia felt Bian Shui Fort was more comforting.

Perhaps lacking such pretty things, but it carried a touch of nature, a hint of historical deposition. After all, Bian Shui Fort, with a century-old background, is different from the wholly man-made scenery of Chishan Village.

"Uh, better not. It doesn’t seem interested in that, and volcano crater training wouldn’t hold much significance. After all, Crystal Stone Domain directly alters the environment, and as for ultimate move control, Fluffy Fire Wolfhound doesn’t lack it."

Feng Yuan thought and said, with side glances at Xiao Ji. Compared to Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Xiao Ji had obvious shortcomings, though he unleashed major moves, which wasn’t a lethal flaw.

Volcano crater training mostly aims to bolster the intensity of fire attribute ultimate moves, along with enabling fire attribute Spirit Beasts to mobilize more fire attribute energy at once.

But these things seem less cost-effective in the Crystal Stone Domain era; not implying they’re useless, as the capability can well be used in battles post-Crystal Stone Domain deployment.

However, compared to the enhancement brought by Crystal Stone Domain, the boost achieved through bitter training is considerably lesser. Spending massive effort only to elevate a small maximum threshold, Feng Yuan felt it wasn’t necessary.

Primarily because he wasn’t lacking in combat power, nor has Fluffy Fire Wolfhound reached the limits of potential excavation.

"By the way, if a Domain Awakening of opposing attribute is initiated at the volcano crater, would it directly trigger a volcanic eruption?"

Recalling something, Feng Yuan said with a peculiar expression. One big reason for his disinterest in volcano crater training is that the geological structure makes it nearly impossible for Crystal Stone Domain deployment.

Not that it can’t be deployed, but in such energy-volatile areas, deploying Crystal Stone Domain is akin to detonating explosives. Even without opposing attributes, it might cause natural energy out of control leading directly to volcanic eruption.

"You guessed correctly; someone tried that before, inadvertently causing major natural disasters, and was arrested by Hong En."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia said in a calm tone. Though the person unintentionally caused the volcanic eruption, due to the substantial economic damage it brought to Hong En, they were ultimately apprehended.

This was prior to any warnings being issued; if Feng Yuan were to mess around at the volcano crater now, Veronia was sure he couldn’t escape.

"Indeed, it means there’s no way to conduct Crystal Stone Domain related training there, making it kind of useless."

Upon having his guess confirmed, Feng Yuan was not overly surprised. After all, natural energy at the volcano crater is inherently chaotic, and it’s normal for energy distribution altering methods like Crystal Stone Domain to trigger natural disasters.

Let alone Crystal Stone Domain, many ultimate moves are forbidden from being casually performed at the volcano crater’s unique terrain, unless there’s compelling necessity, otherwise liability would surely follow.

"You have high regard for Crystal Stone Domain, don’t you?"

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan with some surprise and said, though Crystal Stone Domain appeared not long ago, its influence has grown considerably.

"Why not? That thing connects with too many moves; all kinds of ultimate moves are linked to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if a related Divine Beast shows up one day."

"While it holds little significance for Xiao Ji, for Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, the enhancement from Crystal Stone Domain might be far greater than so-called special training."

Saying this, Feng Yuan looked at the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, which twitched its ears pretending not to hear, focusing on battling with the food in front of it. Seeing this, Feng Yuan smiled but didn’t continue the topic.

Much like Xiao Ji, if Fluffy Fire Wolfhound is unwilling to train, Feng Yuan wouldn’t force it unless its strength were considerably inadequate.
