Back in his workshop, Elder Adric carefully sorted through the materials Oasis had provided, having halted all other work to prioritize Oasis's request.
The significance and rarity of each item left him in disbelief.
"10,000 years hot iron," Elder Adric mused, shaking his head in astonishment.
"And this ash... I can't tell its exact origin, but it's definitely priceless. It likely comes from a claw of a mystic beast above even S-rank," he thought, his heart racing with excitement and disbelief.
As he examined the herbs, his excitement grew even more intense.
"These herbs... They're exceptional," he thought, his heart racing faster with disbelief and excitement.
The materials Oasis brought were all exceptionally rare, not something one could easily obtain.
Even the Pecunia Merchant Association would take years to acquire such materials, yet a 12-year-old boy had them.
The materials were priceless, meaning Elder Adric only had one shot at making Oasis's sword.
Any mistake would waste the materials, putting his reputation as an artifact refiner at stake.
The Adric Pavilion had long been responsible for refining and repairing artifacts for the Bluemoon family, and now, as the Lunaris Sect, the responsibility had only increased.
Despite the presence of the Factum Guild branch in Lunalith, which operated for business and profit under the Pecunia Merchant Association,
the Adric Pavilion remained the dedicated source of artifact refinement for the sect's cultivators.
With the formation of the Lunaris Sect, more disciples were expected to join, necessitating the expansion of all pavilions to accommodate the influx of new members.
"I need to start right away. I'll leave the rest to the vice pavilion master," Elder Adric muttered to himself as he began the refining process.

As the sun rose next morning, illuminating the Bluefang Garden, Oasis woke up with a yawn.
He stretched and got out of bed, changing into simple training clothes and bandaging his arms.
Without wasting time, he headed to his training yard and began cultivating.
The training yard was serene, with soft light filtering through the trees. Oasis began his cultivation, focusing intently as he moved through the exercises.
He moved through his cultivation techniques with fluid grace, His movements were precise and controlled, each one flowing seamlessly into the next.
As he concentrated, he could feel the mana in the air converging around him, responding to his presence.
After an hour of intense concentration, Oasis took a deep breath, concluding his cultivation session.
He then went to the spring behind his residence and poured all the mana stones he had purchased at the Pecunia Merchant Association into it.
The spring's water sparkled with the infusion of mana as the mana stones sank into the spring, their glow merging with the water.
The flowers around the spring began to concentrate the mana, their petals emitting a soft, luminescent light.
"This will do. Let's leave it as it is for now. With these flowers concentrating mana here, it will do the trick," Oasis thought as he left the spring.
He then went to the spot where he had placed the egg, injecting his mana into it and adding a drop of his blood essence.
"I wonder when it will hatch," he thought. "It's nice having a normal day once in a while, and Master Bluemoon hasn't called me."
!!!
"Those girls are here. I guess they brought my uniform," Oasis thought, sensing their presence.
They were waiting at the path to the small bridge, unable to cross because Oasis had activated his array.
He approached them without delay.
"Oh, if it isn't Senior Sister Eva and Lia," Oasis called out.
"Damn, this kid's muscles," Eva thought, seriously impressed.
"Oh, my husband," Lia thought, blushing.
"Junior Brother, where were you? We came by yesterday," Eva asked.
"Oh, nothing much. I was just exploring the city," Oasis replied, scratching his head.
"Why didn't you leave it here at the entrance? I could have gotten it when I came back."
"Who does that? We complete our task directly," Eva said, maintaining her composure.
"Here," she handed the uniform to Oasis, and the two of them didn't waste time leaving.
"Ahh, Senior Sisters, what's the rush? We can have tea together, huh?" Oasis called out to them.
"Don't worry about it, Junior Brother. We are fine," Eva replied.
As they left, Oasis went back to the garden.
"Damn you, Eva. You should have said you are fine, not we... are... fine. Why do you include others in your things?" Lia complained to Eva, frustrated.
"What did I do to deserve this?" Lia said aloud, stomping her foot.
By this time, Oasis had finished fitting his new Lunaris Sect uniform.
The uniform was a symbol of his status as a core disciple and was different from the other disciples' attire.
It was made of high-quality fabric that was both durable and comfortable.
The uniform consisted of a fitted tunic with intricate embroidery, a pair of matching pants, and a long cloak that draped elegantly over his shoulders.
The cloak was adorned with the Lunaris Sect emblem, a silver crescent moon surrounded by stars with a wolf looking at the moon.
The uniform also included a belt with compartments for holding small items and tools, as well as sturdy boots designed for both comfort and protection.
The overall design was both practical and aesthetically pleasing, reflecting the prestige and status of a core disciple.
