Alex returned an hour or two later, not before getting a few materials for an artifact, and found Liang Shufen keeping watch of the artifact as the old Yao Ning used the Mountain Crushing artifact.
"What did you guys use?" Alex asked her.
"We decided to go with normal rocks, like we did with Whisker," Liang Shufen said. "We do not yet know just how strong our bodies are, so we found it better to go with the safe choice."
"Good idea," Alex said. "You guys continue this. I will do something in my own room."
"What are you doing?" Liang Shufen asked.
"Making a simple artifact that I should have made a long time ago," Alex said, leaving the elder behind.
Alex brought out the materials he had bought, which consisted of some leather, some metals, and various other little things.
He started working on it immediately, while Pearl and Whisker were outside with him, looking at his work curiously.
