Chu Tian was ready to teach the pesky stone a lesson when he saw the floating colorful stone swaying unsteadily, as if drunk.
Then, it wobbled and fell directly to the ground.
Chu Tian was startled. Had it eaten too much and become sick?
He had been hoping to see it evolve and hatch, perhaps birthing a Monkey King.
Just as Chu Tian prepared to go and inspect it.
It lay on the ground, stretching and flattening repeatedly.
*Pfft...* It made a strange sound.
*Chh...* A hidden weapon, carrying a gust of wind, shot straight towards Chu Tian's face.
He reacted quickly, blocking with his hand. A small stone, carrying intense heat, landed in his palm.
"Ding... Item 'Colorful Stone' acquired."
Colorful Stone? Where did that come from?
Chu Tian opened his palm. Lying in his hand was the very projectile that had just been fired.
Could it be...
He looked up. On the flying colorful stone lying on the ground, a small hole was slowly shrinking.
"Damn it..."
Chu Tian felt a wave of nausea, his hand trembling, almost dropping the stone in his hand.
However, reason triumphed over his disgust.
After a moment's thought, he tossed the excrement into his backpack.
He checked the quest prompt: Colorful Stone: 1/3.
Previously, after this colorful stone became a special quest, his Divine Artifact quest progress had shown 0/3.
Now that one had returned, he suddenly felt that this flying stone was quite the treasure.
Although it was a bit disgusting, it could solve his most pressing problem.
Quickly, he stepped forward, picked up the slightly grown stone, and hurried to the auction house. This time, he directly bought ten gold coins worth of ore, choosing the high-grade ones.
After leaving the auction house, he sat by the entrance, one hand holding the ore, the other holding the colorful stone, forcefully stuffing it into its "mouth."
But the colorful stone refused to open its mouth. No matter what Chu Tian tried, he couldn't get it in. Finally, the colorful stone closed its mouth entirely, and Chu Tian couldn't even find where its mouth was.
After trying for a long time, Chu Tian was exhausted and had to give up.
Perhaps it was truly full.
He just didn't know how long it would take to digest.
He also didn't know if it could produce two more colorful stones before its evolution was complete.
Chu Tian had given up and was about to get up when he heard discussions nearby.
"What is that guy doing, banging two stones together?"
"I don't know, maybe he's not very bright."
"Hey, buddy, need some ore smelted? I can help you smelt these two pieces of ore together!"
Chu Tian looked up. A blacksmith player stood before him.
He didn't say anything and stood up to leave. The blacksmith chased after him, asking for a long time, but Chu Tian ignored him, running towards the teleportation array as if escaping.
Recalling the moment, it was too damned embarrassing. Holding two stones and banging them together like an idiot.
As Chu Tian ran, he opened his character panel. He had forgotten what level he was.

Introduction: The peace-loving Elven race never fears war. In every recorded holy war, the Elven race has an indelible mark.
His level had reached thirty-four. Yesterday, clearing the Expert difficulty dungeon with a five-star rating had directly rewarded all team members with three levels.
When Gao Kai heard about it this morning, he was extremely envious.
However, he didn't regret it.
For reasons everyone understood, a thousand words are omitted here.
Chu Tian saw that the attribute growth index had reached twenty-two. This was a reward he activated after going to the Dream Forest, increasing all Druid growth indices by 0.2.
Previously, Druid growth indices were only ten, and all other classes were twelve.
Now, Druids were on par. This meant that in his previous life, no one had entered the Dream Forest.
In this life, Chu Tian had created a survivable environment for Druids, no longer destined to be mere mounts.
He had already entered the teleportation array. The blacksmith apprentice behind him was still chasing him. Chu Tian thought: it seems I do have two pieces of equipment that need forging and upgrading.
He checked the equipment on his person. Apart from a few top-tier items, the rest were junk Bronze and Silver equipment.
Moreover, these items filling the slots had poor attributes and were not worth upgrading.
Currently, the only equipment worth upgrading were the [Eye of Truth Ring] and the [Blazing Bracelet].
One of these items was a white-tier iron ring, and the other was a gold-tier, level five bracelet.
[Eye of Truth Ring +30]
Grade: Iron Tier
Equipment Level: 1
Attack Power: 8-20 (including base attack: 2-5) (including +14 enhanced attack: 6-15)
Attribute 1: Increases the chance to detect stealth.
Attribute 2 (Unaffected): Cast Eye of Truth skill to discover invisible creatures within a 3-meter radius for 10 seconds, with a 1-minute cooldown. (Growth skill, activated upon upgrading to Bronze.)
This equipment was mainly for its second attribute, a much-needed detection skill.
In his previous life, Kill God Jue Sha had become the king among rogues by relying on this skill.
In this life, in the新手村 (novice village), Chu Tian encountered Jue Sha, and this equipment dropped from him. He wondered if Jue Sha could still become a powerhouse without this ring.
This ring needed its grade and level upgraded.
In the Heavenly Dao, only gold-tier equipment, level twenty and above, would have attribute points increased.
The [Blazing Bracelet] was already gold-tier itself, only needing its level upgraded. Upgrading it to twenty or even higher would activate attribute points.
Chu Tian was no stranger to equipment forging and upgrading.
This was an extremely money-consuming place in the Heavenly Dao.
Otherwise, why would Chu Tian be so envious of Luo Luo's weapon? It was a growth-type, Legendary-tier weapon.
He had never heard of blacksmiths being able to upgrade Legendary-tier weapons.
Even the Heavenly Dao system's divine blacksmith, Ryan, couldn't do it.
Right, Ryan...
