when faes realized her thoughts had gone back to kailial she shook her head to clear it. 'if I ever met him he is getting a piece of my mind' faes thought but knew that meeting him would either be impossible or way too difficult as his soul was torn into different parts.
"the bloodstone in your choker is most rare one or I should say mysterious" Aiden said bringing her back to present and out of her own world
"really?" faes asked bewildered at the new information
"yes it is said that they were formed when the world got destroyed and all the powerful beings were killed. the fallen god took the bodies and blood of all the highest level cultivators who died and turned them into these blood stones leaving them in a place hidden deeply and only the one who have the map can get them" aiden told
"does that mean that when kailial fought the fallen god he got his soul torn into pieces scattered somewhere while the god remained fine? but doesn't that mean the world is still in danger?" faes asked confused
"after their fight they both vanished but the fallen god is still somewhere sealed in the world. just before the seal was placed by kailial the fallen god created those blood stones and attacked kailial with their powers destroying his soul, but once he got sealed the map vanished along with kailial. its said that he have those stones and map but if he had he would have came back alive and gathered his soul back using the power of blood"
"blood has the powers no being can imagine in their wildest fantasies" aiden added.
"doesn't that mean if i show this blood stone to the world i might be in danger?" faes asked with a blank look. 'if only i can take it off' but the reality was that the choker wont come off no matter what she did. faes glanced upwards and cursed like she always did 'you stupid god why do you need to make this choker stick to my neck so that i cant take it off?'
aiden gave her a small smile which clearly seemed sad
"you cant let others see it when you go in presence of other beings you have to either cover it with scarf or your hair, or you can use hide zero on it but that will drain you faster as you will have to hide your race with it too" aiden told her making her sigh. it was truly said 'with great power comes great responsibility' but what wasn't said was 'along with responsibility comes loneliness and dangers' faes got all powerful blood stone but if others saw it they might try to kill her to get it for themselves this also means that she cant trust anyone or make friends! 'i have to keep a low profile so that others don't notice me' faes sighed
"don't worry for the time being you and me are the only one here so we can do whatever we can and want" aiden patted her head laughing
"yup but i am hungry" faes pouted as her stomach began to rumble making aiden laugh loudly again.
"alright just wait i will cook some delicious things today as you fought and won your first battle" aiden again patted her head before heading to the kitchen leaving faes to herself.
faes was thinking about what to do just as she heard a notification go off
[various elemental stones are detected which can be refined and used in the choker do you want to add the elemental stones to your choker now?]
the notification reminded faes that she must add other elemental stones to the choker to make it stronger. she had forgotten about it in all the time that had passed. it was almost a year since she got reincarnated in this world.
'my birthday is coming soon too' faes remembered that the faes in this world had the same birthdate as her which is in about a month. it was also in the beggining of rainy season but faes had learnt that this world does not have different seasons but they have set the climate according to their preferences in which they can live betterly.
'i liked rain' faes sighed and glanced at the ring again which contained the stones. she then sent them to the space. faes had learnt that when she sent a spacial ring or spacial object in her space all its materials get stored in the inventory well sorted while the object/ ring gets empty and also have their own section in the inventory.
[host i suggest that you add these crystals now as it will also help you level up at your current realm] the system suggested bouncing in excitement
actually faes was also thinking about doing it now until aiden was preparing the dinner.
'what do i have to do?' she asked the system
[host you have to just choose the best quality elemental stones refine them and then the choker would absorb its essence creating an elemental stone for itself before attaching it to itself] the system said
'really that much?' faes frowned she thought that she just have to choose a crystal and then add it to the choker. 'why do i have to refine them? i am hungry' faes whined in her mind but still got to the training area and picked some elemental stones out which the system picked as high quality ones.
after all the training of refinined the herbs for pills and potions faes knew that it was a difficult task probably the most difficult step in the whole process of creating a pill, potion or refining an ore to make a weapon.
faes decided to take it one at a time. glancing at the five kind of stones faes smiled a little. it had to be irony that she got the elemental stones of all the five elements she can use currently excluding light and darkness.
fire had red stones which looked like it had fire burning inside it, water was blue with constant ripples in the stone, air was transparent and had acloud like structure in it while earth was brown and looked like a normal chunk of rock, if it wasn't for the fact that faes can sense the mana leaking out of them she would have thrown them away thinking they were normal stones.
the last but not least she got lightening stone which came as a surprise to her. those twins had some lightening stones which faes got due to luck.
faes began with fire and took the stones closing her eyes and letting her spirit energy cover it. then the structure of rock came in her mind. this was the process of refining, when the spirit energy touches something their structure can be seen and then their essence can be found using the structure. normally herbs mostly have the essence of leaves, bark, roots and fruits which is found trapped between the cells and can be extracted by crushing them or using spiritual energy to suck them out.
but in the case of the elemental stones which are purely made of elemental particles it made faes confused as how will she refine them?
the fire crystal was made of fire elemental particles which were arranged randomly but close enough to form a solid crystal. not knowing what to do faes began to take out the fire element particles out of the stone one by one, to her surprise when her spiritual energy took out a elemental particle it vanished leaving her bewildered as to where it went. then after repeating the process faes noticed a different crystal which was minute in size in her consciousness.
when faes focused on it she noticed what was happening. the magic particles were being refined by her spirit energy and only their pure elemental properties remained reducing its size but increasing its powers. now knowing what was happening faes got to work quickly refining dozens of fire element stones but even after that the crystal in her consciousness was not even quarter the size of her nail of her little toe finger.
faes glanced at the hundreds of crystals in her inventory and gritted her teeth she was going to do it properly but it will have to wait.
'i am hungry!'
