"Once a Bloodline Essence has been sealed inside, it can serve as a medium, allowing you, the host, to acquire the corresponding Bloodline ability."
"And the most important part is..." Mira paused, her beautiful, calm smile returning. "You will be able to control that Bloodline ability freely."
"Unbelievable! This Creation Furnace is truly a good thing!"
After listening to Mira’s lengthy explanation, Ryan’s eyes immediately lit up with wild excitement. Yet beneath that excitement remained a trace of disbelief.
"Mira, does this Creation Furnace really possess all those incredible functions?"
After Mira’s detailed explanation, Ryan had already gained a basic understanding of the furnace’s abilities.
And the more he understood, the more extraordinary the Boundless Creation Furnace seemed.
If everything Mira had said was true, then this damaged furnace might genuinely change his life.
Especially the Boundless Creation Slots.
The ability to seal a Bloodline Essence and use it as a medium to acquire its corresponding Bloodline ability was simply beyond Ryan’s imagination.
If the furnace truly possessed such an incredible function, then perhaps...
He could finally become the Bloodline Fighter he had always dreamed of becoming.
He could finally break free from the fate that had weighed him down for years.
"Master, Mira would never exaggerate about something like this." Mira shook her head seriously. "If you still don’t believe me, you can test it right now."
"Test it right now?" Ryan grinned and nodded. "Yes, that’s a good suggestion!"
But just as he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered something.
His expression changed, and his enthusiasm gradually faded into hesitation.
"However..."
"However what?" Mira tilted her head, looking at him in confusion.
Ryan’s expression fluctuated between excitement and caution.
He didn’t answer immediately.
Truthfully, he wanted to test the Creation Furnace right away. If its abilities were truly as miraculous as Mira claimed, he needed to verify them as soon as possible.
But after thinking it through, Ryan realized that the garbage disposal site was the worst possible place to conduct such a test.
There were simply too many scavengers nearby.
Although the wasteland was vast and the scavengers were relatively scattered, people were constantly moving through the area. Any unusual phenomenon could easily attract unwanted attention.
Ryan also had no idea what would happen when he activated the Boundless Creation Furnace.
What if the furnace produced some strange phenomenon?
What if the process consumed a tremendous amount of energy?
What if it caused some other disturbance that he hadn’t anticipated?
He couldn’t afford to take that risk.
Before testing a treasure that could potentially change his fate, he needed to find a safe and secluded location.
Ryan understood the danger that came with possessing something valuable. As the old saying went, men gathered where there was profit, and scattered where there was none.
As long as enough benefits were involved, covert attacks, killing for treasures, and stealing from others were hardly uncommon.
Ashfall City might appear peaceful on the surface, but terrifying incidents still happened from time to time—incidents Ryan had personally witnessed.
Within Ashfall City, fighting and killing were prohibited, and the City Watch remained on duty twenty-four hours a day to maintain order.
However, the city’s laws couldn’t prevent every crime.
If someone were targeted by a malicious individual who managed to launch a covert attack without attracting the City Watch’s attention, the victim could easily lose everything before anyone realized what had happened.
Because of the city’s strict laws, people didn’t dare to act openly. But covert conflicts and killings still occurred.
As long as the perpetrators weren’t caught red-handed by the City Watch, and the victim didn’t have a powerful background, the authorities usually wouldn’t investigate too deeply.
Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly opened his eyes and exited the immersive mental scene.
He quickly stood up and vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he finally relaxed.
From cutting his right palm to encountering the Artifact Spirit girl inside his mind, everything had happened so suddenly that it still felt almost dreamlike.
Before getting up, Ryan had remained seated on the ground while communicating with Mira. Since the entire exchange had taken place within his mind, he appeared to outsiders as though he were simply resting after exhausting himself.
The other scavengers had presumably mistaken his stillness for fatigue, which was why no one had paid him any attention.
’It’s better to go home first and test it properly.’
With that thought, Ryan composed himself and tidied up his belongings.
He then instructed Mira within his mind not to emerge unless he specifically called for her.
A soft "Mm" echoed in his mind in response.
Ryan tightened the waste pills secured around his waist before quickly making his way toward the exit of the waste disposal site.
He wasn’t sure if it was merely his imagination, but after obtaining the treasure, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the gazes of the people passing by had become somewhat more malicious.
He climbed over massive piles of waste and discarded materials, carefully making his way forward.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful.
After a while, Ryan finally saw the exit of the garbage disposal site ahead.
