I was only going to get recycled wood from the slums, or whatever was most available, but I realized the Guider was also very specific on the qualities of many of the wood from Trees around the area.

I settled on picking large fallen branches, and log parts, from a Tree called the Experts Yew, which was one of the hardest, most flexible and durable around the area; known for its ability to harmonize with all kinds of energy.

Soon, after gathering all my ingredients, my crafting skills became the focus of my late evenings.

I started by crafting the weapons that I would sell.

I shaped a number of wooden spears, or what would be the shafts of spears, from the Experts Yew I had collected.

While working with the wood I realized it really was of remarkable quality.

After carving and smoothing out the spear shafts I separated it into five group piles.

I hadn’t managed to hunt any Megafauna, King Beast, or powerful Magical Beast, so I was actually low on quality beast bones.

I wanted to use quality beast bones of quality beasts, since I knew those possessed special properties that made for excellent weapon material, and reacted well with the magical blood.

Other than some leftovers I had from my hunts with the Toltemic, which I wanted to save for the Ranker Gathering, I didn't have enough Megafauna or King Beast Parts to incorporate them into my large scale weapon crafting plan.

What I did have a lot of, was the bones and fangs of a good amount of common Predatory Beasts and large Herbivores, as well as the accumulated Magical Blood of the new Magical Animals I found.

I managed to accumulate enough blood into 15 large clay pots of varying Magical Beasts.

From what I could tell, I had managed to gather a little more than the same amount of attributes as I had worked with before, even though I felt like I didn't know enough about certain beasts I hunted.

I didn't find enough Mana Frogs to use as a good base as before, but I did find some, I would just have to use it sparingly.

I had accumulated enough blood for individual baths, and for combining ingredients so I was satisfied with my results.

I either used the large fangs of the Sneaky Hound, Nighfield Coyote, Riverside Cougar , Prime Panther and Red Dawn Bear and other Predators, or the sharpened thigh or rib bones of the Green Hide Pigs, Mountain Buffalo, and Regal Elk and other large Herbivores to make spear tips.

I was thinking, these were probably some of the more powerful animals I had hunted, that weren’t in the realm of King Beasts, that I could use to make the spears heads of one of the shaft pile groups.

After making the bone spearheads and attaching them securely to the shaft, I next set up a wood and clay tub that I had built for this occasion.

In fact I had built 16 of these tubs, taking up most of the space in the backyard, making Yupow somewhat annoyed.

Despite that, he still didn’t say anything.

While hunting the Beasts the Guider always gave me a good amount of information on them, this gave me a good reason to take the time to read about the Magical Beasts, before I made the Magical Blood.

The small Magical Beasts I had hunted were the Mana Frogs, Earth Vole, Winded Skink, Moss Lizard, Rocky Mustid, North Breeze Song Bird, Whirlwind Avian, Nether Crow, Giant Magical Worm, Fire Shell Beetle, Mystic Fly, Tree Sage Mice, Wood Master Squirrel, Ore Skinned Turtle,and the medium sized River Elemental Otter.

The Whirlwind Avian was the only Lightning attributed animal I could find, and it wasn’t purely Lightning Attribute.

It was also adept at Wind Attribute Magic which made things a bit more complicated.

I filled the tubs with the adequate Bright Plant, Charcoal and Clay solution, before pouring in the blood of each of the creatures.

For the Bug type Magical Beasts, even though they did secrete a blood like substance when I severed them, I decided it would be more productive if I just crushed them whole, and combined them with a mixture of water, Bright Plant, and a bit of Mana Frog Blood.

For most of the remaining Mana Frog Blood, which was my most assured neutral Attribute Magical Ingredient, I had an idea to mix it in with a special plant I had managed to harvest.

It was called Blue Mana Blossom, a flower that mostly showed a neutral Magical Attribute as well, despite its plant physiology.

Although I had managed to harvest quite a bit of them, I figured the Magical Energy it could produce was probably nowhere near the Frog Blood.

After getting a mortar I had borrowed from Yupow, I crushed up the Blossom along with Charcoal, Clay Dust, and Bright Plant, and mixed in the new substances with Frogs Blood letting it settle for a while before throwing it into the prepared tub.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

The blood color definitely got more potent than before.

I had no idea what I had created but I would soon find out.

This time I started to write down everything that was happening, hand recording my knowledge on Magical Blood Bathing.

After all the mixtures were complete, I bathed one spear each of the bone tipped spearheaded group into its own bath, and decided to leave them there for its allotted time.

While that happened I continued to fashion spear heads out of scrap metal that was around the neighborhood.

I knew the forging method of the Toltemic to forge small spearheads from scratch, but I figured the scrap metal would work just fine; as finding and refining raw ore, although something I could do, was not something I was too proficient or keen on because of tediousness.

Still with the Guiders Ore Finding Option metal forging was something that was always available to me.

I built a small Toltemic style furnace under the ground, with clay and mud letting it heat up to the required temperature.

Afterwards I proceeded to heat and melt together all the different types of scrap metal.

After doing so I poured it quickly inside pre-made molds of spearheads and maceheads.

I had decided to change things up a bit.

After it cooled off, I quenched, tempered, hammered, and hardened the tips to my desired sharpness and quality.

I was worried the scrap metal would be of too terrible quality, but it turned out to be good enough to survive the smithing and forging process.

Thereafter I attached the metal tips to the top of the second group of shafts, creating another group of normal weapons.

Once the other weapons were done bathing I would bathe these ones in there as well.

The whole process would take me at least two months, as the bathing time for each group was going to be for at least a week and a half, which was actually less time than what the Toltemic usually did it for.

This was also not counting preparation time of course.

In the time the first batch of weapons was being finished, I proceeded to finish crafting the rest of the shaft groups.

The third group I made out of stone tips, stone knapping certain crystals I had found to be special in quality and feel.

The Guiders Ore Profile report had identified them as Potestera Molten Core Crystal, a mineral that was very sharp and strong but was somewhat brittle if not used correctly, Pure Glass, a mineral that is formed in high temperatures and can absorb and hold energy, and finally Shattering Stone a material that was good for makeshift tool making.

I made speartips out of all these materials wanting to see how they would react to the blood bathing, knowing that different materials reacted differently to the process.

The fourth group I outfitted with more bone tips, except I fashioned the tips to be hollow, and strengthened and reinforced them with resin on the inside.

I then inserted a vial full of snake poison inside every single one of the spearheads, making them hidden poison weapons.

These weapons were probably good and unique on their own but I also was going to dip them in Magic Blood to see what happened.

The last group I made their tips out of another special wood I had found, called Grounds Will Wood, from the Grounds Will Tree, it was as hard as any metal and excellent at conducting energy and information.

I didn’t know what the information part meant, but I decided to make it a group of weapons.

I hadn’t made the entire shaft and weapon heads out of this wood since this wood was actually rare around the area.

I only stumbled upon it by chance.

Harvesting it was also not very easy as the wood was hard and heavy to carry.

Before fully attaching the wooden weapon heads, on a whim I decided to carve the shape of animals I had hunted onto them, with the intent that it would make them more appealing when I sold them.

I carved the shape of the animal whose blood I was planning on bathing the weapons in.

Eventually I finished making the weapons and just needed to finish the bathing process for each group.

After finishing crafting the weapons I still had three groups left to submerge.

In that time I used the mortar I had borrowed from Yupow, as well as some makeshift mortars I made out of stone and clay, with some glass containers to prepare the ingredients for making the items for my next business strategy.
