Zongman: I am a god, and my family comes from all realms

Falin's magic isn't quantifiable; it changes at will, truly unsuitable for ordinary people.

But for Lu Li, it posed no problem.

"I see," Lu Li said, enlightened after hearing the explanation. "So, this is teleportation magic."

He channeled his magic, and light emerged from his staff. Lu Li felt his magic spread out, passing through layers of the labyrinth, gradually returning to the surface.

The next moment, a ripple appeared in the void, revealing a forest.

Finally, the void stabilized, revealing a door three meters high and two meters wide.

"Everyone, let's return to the surface first," Lu Li reminded them. "Oh, right, if you want to eat dragon meat, take as much as you can. I'll freeze it for everyone when we get back to the surface."

Senshi and Laios were delighted and began to carry the meat.

"We are so grateful to Lord God."

Hyakuri Kawa was still not satisfied with the one ton she had frozen earlier and carried more dragon meat to the outside of the teleportation door.

Lu Li waved his staff, casting a wind spell, and easily moved materials such as dragon scales, dragon bones, and the dragon heart into the teleportation door.

After completing these tasks, Kato Megumi and the other two brought their luggage, and the group passed through the teleportation door, returning to the surface.

Lu Li waved his hand, closing the teleportation door.

Seeing the sun in the sky, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Falin wore a look of relief: "I didn't expect to return to the surface!"

Laios cheered: "Yes! This is great. Falin is saved, and we have so much dragon meat to eat."

Senshi was also very happy: "Dragon meat, I've been looking forward to it for so long; it certainly didn't disappoint."

Kato Megumi's gaze landed on the dragon materials, and she said, "Lord God, what should we do with these materials? Should we just take them to town and sell them?"

Lu Li frowned slightly: "We do need to sell some of it; we can't possibly use this much."

He waved his hand.

"Let's go, enter the town, sell some of the dragon scales first, and then have a feast. Now that we're back on the surface, there are more materials we can use, so we should be able to make an even better dragon meat feast."

Laios exclaimed excitedly: "Great!"

Lu Li waved his staff, using wind power to lift tens of thousands of pounds of materials, and headed towards the town.

The teleportation door was opened near the town, so the group didn't walk for long before arriving.

The magnificent dragon scales floating in mid-air attracted onlookers from all sides.

"Young man, are you selling dragon scales?"

"Dragon bones are very strong; they can be polished into excellent weapons!"

Lu Li looked at the crowd and said, "Of course, we're selling."

Having merged with the counterpart of this world, Lu Li was a local and naturally knew the price of dragon scales.

A dragon scale the size of a palm could sell for about one gold coin.

Of course, this was the price for red dragon scales. If it were for wyverns or other weaker dragons, the scales' magic resistance and defense would be much weaker, and the price would be much lower.

In just one hour, eighty percent of the red dragon materials were processed, exchanged for 40,000 gold coins.

This was Gold City, so the value of gold wasn't as high as one might imagine.

But for Lu Li and his group, it was different. One gold coin was worth a great deal; 40,000 gold coins could be exchanged for 4.4 billion yen.

Laios said with a pained expression: "Falin, we've slaughtered so many dragons in the past and wasted so many gold coins!"

Falin said helplessly: "Even if you say that, Brother, I don't have the ability to open a teleportation door and bring the dragon scales up."

Although she was proficient in magic, her teleportation was only random, and she could only teleport people. She couldn't even imagine easily opening a teleportation door like Lu Li and bringing things back.

As for using people to carry them?

Adventuring in the labyrinth was no joke; monsters could kill people.

To cope with emergencies and not affect combat, each adventurer's carrying capacity was limited. After each dragon slaying, they couldn't even carry one percent of the materials. The rest could only be swallowed by the labyrinth and turned into nothing.

"Let's go, buy a house first, and then celebrate."

Lu Li waved his hand, found a brokerage firm similar to a real estate agency nearby, spent 3,000 gold coins, and selected an estate covering more than ten acres.

The architectural style of the estate was very rough. There were no pavilions or artificial hills and ponds, only a sizable building in the center and a low courtyard wall around the building.

The reason it was so cheap was, of course, because this place was originally just a small island and not a prosperous area.

The labyrinth was a paradise and wealth for adventurers.

But it wasn't the same for the wealthy and powerful.

Labyrinth mutations and monsters running out could cause great disasters. The island's lord had already sold off his property and fled when the labyrinth appeared. This estate was a bargain for Lu Li.

Marcille was puzzled: "What are you buying such a big estate for? We adventurers can't possibly use such a large place."

Hyakuri Kawa cheered: "This is a big house; how could you not like it!"

Yotsuya Miko agreed: "That's right, a ten-acre estate is great!"

25. Extraordinary Forging Technique, Processing the Red Dragon's Heart (Seeking Flowers)

Marcille was speechless: "I can't understand."

"I like it, but..." Kato Megumi frowned. "But the walls are very low. How can we ensure safety?"

This was a world with magic. A wall one meter high was practically undefended, and there was no guarantee of safety.

Lu Li smiled mysteriously: "I've already prepared for it."

As he spoke, many seeds appeared in his hand, the seeds of carnivorous plant vines.

Marcille was shocked: "You don't want to use this for protection, do you?"

"Why not?" Lu Li used magic to stimulate the plants, planting a seed. Instantly, the seed took root, grew vines, and climbed over the wall, covering the hundreds of meters of wall in the blink of an eye.

He threw five seeds in a row, and all the walls were covered with man-eating vines.

A ten-acre estate seemed large, but the perimeter was only less than five hundred meters.

Falin stepped forward, reaching out to touch the vines, but was not attacked. She couldn't help but be surprised: "These are seeds grown with the magic of a cultivation wand. In this way, the vines are controlled by the master and won't randomly attack others. With these vines protecting it, this estate is quite safe."

Marcille complained weakly: "Don't use magic in such places."

Falin smiled and didn't care: "Isn't this great?"

As she spoke, she saw Lu Li wave his staff, and a gust of wind swept through, leveling the ground of the entire estate, sweeping away weeds and garbage, making it extremely clean.

Entering the room, he once again used the same method, and the originally dusty house quickly became clean and tidy.

"Everyone can choose their favorite room. This will be our base from now on. Laios, prepare a feast. Falin, take Megumi and the others to buy some daily necessities. We need to set up our base."

"Yay!"

Everyone cheered, even the dwarf Senshi, who was now filled with excitement.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time since his tribe died.

"Oh, right, Megumi, remember to buy some flower and vegetable seeds. This garden is too deserted; it needs to be decorated."

Marcille: "Lord God, you're not going to use magic to grow vegetables, are you?"

Falin smiled: "What's wrong with that? Isn't it convenient?"

"Heresy, this is heresy!"

The voices faded away as Laios, Chilchuck, and Senshi began preparing the dragon meat, and an enticing aroma filled the estate.

One day later.

After magical stimulation, the once barren estate became filled with flowers and fragrant aromas.

There were also magically generated rockeries and streams, full of artistic conception, making Hyakuri Kawa and the others extremely happy.

At this time, Lu Li was processing dragon bones and dragon scales.

Although dragon bones and dragon scales were powerful, they didn't have the malleability of metal and were difficult to use for forging.

But the wisdom of mortals is sometimes quite amazing.

About a hundred years ago, Lu Li's ancestors invented a medicinal liquid that could dissolve biological materials such as dragon scales, extract the characteristics of the biological materials, and integrate them into metal, giving ordinary metals the characteristics of magical materials to create extraordinary weapons.

Using dragon horn characteristics as raw materials, the dragon horn swords and dragon horn spears created were unbreakable and no less powerful than weapons made of mithril.

Using dragon scale characteristics as raw materials, the cloth armor created was no weaker than dragon scales in defense and stronger than traditional armor.

The Lu family became the top forging family in the Eastern Empire because of this.

Of course, what goes up must come down.

The Lu family became strong because of this, and they also became coveted by many forces, enemies and allies alike, countless open and hidden attacks, impossible to guard against.

Finally, in this generation, the Lu family had only Lu Li left.

In addition, the Eastern Empire was now in the late years of the dynasty, with refugees everywhere and frequent civil wars. Extraordinary weapons were actually being used to suppress the insurgent army. Lu Li simply quit and chose to leave, becoming a free adventurer.

For Lu Li in this world, he had no objection to using extraordinary weapons to protect his home and to slay monsters.

But he absolutely disagreed with using extraordinary weapons for civil war and slaughtering insurgent armies!

Lu Li's gaze landed on the red dragon's heart. He waved his staff and began to process it according to the method in his memory.

The dragon's heart was the source of the dragon's magic. If processed properly, it could be turned into the best fuel for a blacksmith.

The Lu family once had a similar dragon heart, but it was thrown into the sea by this world's counterpart and disappeared.

As fire magic was activated, the flesh texture of the red dragon's heart began to disappear, gradually revealing a metallic luster. The huge dragon heart, three meters in diameter, eventually turned into a fist-sized metal heart.

Lu Li picked it up and placed it in the forging furnace on the side. A trace of magic was injected into it, and a transparent flame appeared on the heart. Even standing a meter away, you could feel a scorching heat wave.

It is worth mentioning that dragon hearts are naturally capable of gathering magic power. As long as it is not overstimulated, this heart can maintain magical balance forever and never go out.

"This heart is truly a treasure!" Lu Li exclaimed. "This world's me was simply too wasteful to throw away the family's dragon heart. For a blacksmith, that's simply priceless."

No, even for ordinary people, a processed dragon heart is priceless.

The dragon heart fire is pure and efficient and can refine mithril and orichalcum.

Mithril and orichalcum are invaluable things.

Of course, ordinary people do not have the extraction secret, but Lu Li, from the forging family, naturally does. It's just very costly; about one ton of steel can only extract one or two taels of mithril.

But for him, who can travel back to the world of anime, this is not a problem.

In the modern world, steel is very cheap; it is simply an endless mithril mine.

He waved his hand, cut off the magic, and the flame on the dragon heart went out. After it became cold, he put it away.

He came to the backyard, where Kato Megumi and the other two were practicing swordsmanship.

Falin and Marcille were meditating on magic.

"Miko, Megumi...your graces can be updated; maybe they can be upgraded!"

Hyakuri Kawa raised her hand: "What about me?"

Lu Li chuckled: "You were loafing around when we fought the red dragon, so you probably don't have enough experience, but you can also update your grace to see how much is left. Oh, right, Falin, would you like to become my Familia?"

Falin looked at Marcille.

"It's very useful, Falin. After receiving the grace, I can study magic faster."

Falin nodded gently: "I'm willing. I'll trouble Lord God."

Marcille listened and quickly explained the precautions for the grace to Falin.

Updating the grace was already familiar, and it was completed quickly.
