The two women joined the whale, excited. Soon, Kaiyka handed over a Jade Slip with the job details. It was customary for the Moonlight family, but it came at a good time.
Divine alchemists, searching for rare herbs on wild planets, had found a Red Earth Herb. These herbs were connected to the laws of the earth and possessed high intelligence. When harvested normally, they used all their earth properties in self-defense. When this happened, even if their defense was destroyed, almost all the herb’s energy was lost.
With the mental power of the Moonlight family, it was possible to control the herb’s mind, but it was usually a slow and meticulous process that could take months, and with a single mistake, the herb would be completely destroyed. Due to the risks and rarity of the herb, this work could only be done by someone at the level of a high elder.

Because of the herb’s natural laws, having a cultivator who mastered the laws of the earth would be very useful in emergencies. If there was a failure, earth mastery could influence the herb and prevent it from being completely destroyed. Finding a cultivator specialized in these laws was quite rare, so it wasn’t a requirement. The whale would be a bonus that the contractors would gladly accept, and no one in the family would suspect, as everyone knew his bloodline and mastery of earth laws.
Soon everything was perfectly justifiable; Kaiyka was a high elder and would accept the job, then she would take her disciple Ruri and the whale to ensure everything was perfect.
"It’s really perfect, and it’s about a month’s journey from our target. Let’s accept," the whale said calmly.
"Great, we can leave immediately," Ruri commented lightly and turned to the whale with a serious look. "Kaiyka has worked hard, and I’ve taught her everything about mental cultivation. But her talents are quite different from mine. Her mind power is only secondary; her main talent is in using her sword. But a common sword doesn’t bring out her full potential."
The whale listened and looked seriously at Kaiyka, understanding where Ruri was going. Almost everyone in the Moonlight family was good at mind power and swordsmanship. But in her case, armed combat stood out among her talents. The biotype of the two women was identical; they were physically small, and their agility and sword technique were their strengths.
The whale asked, doubtful. "Hm... do you want a katana for her? Has she tried using yours?"
"Yes, in terms of technique, she’s much better than me using the katana. Kaiyka fights... well, straightforward and wild. This speed-focused weapon is unique and suits both of us. If she has one, her power will multiply, and it could be useful for the job," Ruri replied calmly. Then she looked at Kaiyka and smiled. She was silent, a little embarrassed that Ruri was asking for something for her.
"I see. Did you get your Saint-level weapon?" The whale asked, and Ruri nodded affirmatively.
With a meaningful look, Ruri took out the short sword she had received and handed it to the whale. Kaiyka was confused, but the whale simply commented, "Get ready. We leave in three hours."
Ruri dragged Kaiyka to the city, and the whale went to the forge. Nothing needed to be said between Ruri and the whale; they understood by the way Ruri talked about Kaiyka and her requests. This high elder had become a very close ally of Ruri, and her power and will have been approved by her. In addition to that, she had become a friend that Ruri wanted to keep close.
Alm and Bruno found it excellent and spared no effort to help. Kaiyka was a missionary; if they stayed together, they would gain an ally with infinite potential.
They arrived at the forge and didn’t think much; they had an abundance of metals from the secret continent. They chose ones with high cutting power and lightness. Then they melted dozens of them with chaotic refinement.
A completely unique katana with a greenish blade emerged in two hours. Using mental power through the array, a runic enchantment seal was placed. Then, they removed the Saint-level immortal core from Ruri’s sword and transferred it to the katana. There was already a very simple spirit in it, and everything was done smoothly.
Ruri knew they could transplant the core, and they didn’t need to use their stored cores. Her handing over her sword made it clear it was symbolic for both of them, and the whale didn’t need to ask.
When the whale called the two to the forge, Kaiyka was completely stunned to receive that weapon. She couldn’t think straight. Where did this katana come from so quickly? Was he a blacksmith? In less than three hours, he did this?
Then, as she held the katana and felt the unbelievable potential of its blade, her heart raced frantically. But it was when she felt the Saint-level immortal core that her mind froze. She saw Ruri’s sword being handed over and found it strange... Kaiyka connected the dots. In the family competition, the whale mentioned that Vuard could transplant immortal cores to another weapon.
"This..." Kaiyka murmured, trembling, looking at Ruri without knowing what to say. She had never had a weapon of this level, even though she was an important member of the family. Now, she simply received one, and this weapon was something both invaluable and priceless.
Ruri smiled and spoke, looking into her eyes. "Just accept it. You said you wanted to fight by my side and follow me; this will be the symbol of our friendship. Whenever you want something, just say it. If I can’t give it to you, master can. We both trust that you won’t disappoint us."
She gripped the hilt of her new weapon tightly and nodded. On her face, the coldness and lack of emotions she showed when they first met were long gone. She slowly changed and began to express what she wanted and felt without fear.
After the two talked for a while, the three of them were ready to leave. Ruri and the whale didn’t need to make any preparations; soon, a spatial channel was opened by Kaiyka back to the Moonlight family.
After everything was recorded and informed to the family elders, Kaiyka paid for them to use the family’s transportation formation to the job site. With the distance to reach the place, it would take years to go normally; soon, the round trip would be worth it.
A new golden return crystal was handed to them. Thus, they were swallowed by the spatial distortion and, in minutes, were taken back to a distant place. Now in the divine world; where very soon they would jump directly into the abyss in an extremely dangerous move.
