Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent then asked them about the Bloodstones and the Enchanted Bloodstones… Luckily, they all know of this thing, especially Cedric and Machio…

Vincent already knows that the Bloodstones were things that the Royal Family wanted to acquire after working at the Guardian Auction House.

However, for some reason, they weren't being flashy when they were trying to look for it… They were not doing special announcements and it even seems quite secretive.

Cedric then explained that the Bloodstones seem to incorporate evilness as well so the Royal Family weren't openly acquiring them… They would normally use other channels to acquire them like the Guardian Auction House where he previously worked.

At the very least, the Royal Family is still trying to maintain their sacred image to the public.

"Unfortunately, I only know that the Bloodstones are going to a secret workshop that only a few people can enter… My father mentioned to me once that the workshop contains top-secret information about the Knight Order's special weapons." Cedric explained while trying to search his memories for any more important information.

It has been quite a while since he heard about the Bloodstones after all.

"Right, I also heard that only Elders and Inner Sect Disciples of the Bloodmist Sect can make these Bloodstones…" Cedric added.

"Hmm… That's also the things I heard regarding the Bloodmist Sect… The only thing I can add is probably the hidden lake within the sect itself. They are calling it the Blood Lake where they will baptize or perform some sort of ritual before they accept their Outer Sect disciples to the Inner Sect." Machio added.

"Hmm… Blood Lake? Perhaps it's related to how they make the Bloodstones?" Vincent asked.

"I'm not sure… However, I remember that Blood Lake supposedly has a statue of an unknown creature at its center… It's probably the deity they're worshipping or something. In any case, it's not like the Bloodmist Sect is the only producer of the Bloodstones… If I'm not mistaken, Bloodstones can be found in some dungeons as well. It was only recently when that sect was able to trade Bloodstones to the public." Machio replied.

It was agreed by the other three since they have indeed seen bloodstones that weren't from the Bloodmist Sect.

Nevertheless, Vincent's interest in the Bloodmist Sect just grew stronger because of this. After all, others can only find Bloodstones by treasure hunting but the Sect can actually make them!

Perhaps, over the past decades, they've studied the bloodstone-making process until they were able to produce as much as they can. Then it was no wonder why they won't teach such a crafting technique to others aside from their Inner Sect Disciples and the Elders.

'If possible I want to return to the Kingdom and ask them about it…' Vincent thought.

The main reason he was like this is because of the corruption attribute that this Bloodstone can actually provide.

Aside from the dagger given to him by Abe, he recently acquired a lot of Midnight Sea Pearls which he purchased from the One Sea Merchant Union.

It has corruption attributes and its effect of corrupting someone's mind is quite terrifying…

As a matter of fact, he's already planning to use these pearls as his weapon…

He has already purchased a few jars of them and after enhancing them to the limit, they would become a very destructive weapon.

There was no way he would allow his city to be so weak against siege attacks ever again.

Unfortunately, the supply that he has is only limited. This is why he wanted to acquire plenty of Bloodstones so he can start having a few people research them and if possible, produce them to make stronger weapons.

Vincent then shared his idea with these people and agreed to help him. There are several thousand here in the city that were previously living in the Tudor Kingdom. Some of them might even be previous members of the Bloodmist Sect.

There shouldn't be any harm if they decided to look for them and pay them to share their knowledge about the Bloodstone if they find one.

Furthermore, he learned from Yvette that the Corruption Attributes that were on the weapons can actually destroy the durability of another weapon so easily… It seems to be even better than having a Crush Attribute!

Lastly, the Corruption Attribute can also affect the opponent's mind upon contact. It doesn't need a special skill at all as it will naturally happen. With all of these benefits, it was no wonder why he was doing all of this…

***

After Vincent finished his meeting with them, he finally had his dinner and slept soundly to recover his Pseudo-Celestial Energy.

On the next day, he heard that the Peak Grade potion has been used again to try and wake up Ignacy but as expected, aside from his vitality that has increased, nothing has changed.

At the very least, Abe and the others have already satisfied their curiosity.

Before he start his daily routine, Vincent recalled the Skill Book that he received from Abe… He just kept it without checking so he's still unaware of what Tier 2 Mana Art it was.

"Ugh…"

As he took it out of his interspatial ring, he finally realized that the cover of the book seem to be made of human skin as well.

'Why are these ancient people so fixated on using human skin for a book cover… Is it a trend at their time?' Vincent couldn't help but frown after realizing it.

He felt uncomfortable about this so he immediately appraised the item.
