Five days later.
Sam entered the Indigo sea city along with Jack and Jasmine.
Just like before he didn't keep a high profile. It has been only one month and fifteen days since they started targeting the count cities.
There is still four and half months to deal with the remaining two cities.
Sam is sitting in his room at the inn as he examined the new meteorite sand. This time there are 12 cubes of it, but the sand is not silver meteorite sand.
This is Grey meteorite sand, and it is not suitable for making sharp weapons, it is mostly used to make some blunt weapon like a hammer. It has high impact strength.
For Sam's future plans where he wanted to get himself a highly functional production unit, this sand can be used to make the base of a machine or other rigid components.
But he is kind of confused, he didn't understand why the Black water is distributing different types of meteorite sands to different places, even though, giving them as rewards is a generous thing, he still doesn't understand on what credentials they are giving off the reward and the judging criterion to select the type of sand.
But he didn't care for long. Whatever the other party's intentions are they are benefitting him, but this grey meteorite sand isn't enough at all, he still needs a lot of it.
Indigo sea city is also a coastal region and this city is very famous for venomous fish. The name of the city came from an indigo patch in the sea.
That zone is called Indigo zone, where the sea water is in indigo colour. The water there is extremely dangerous and the creatures are all venomous in nature.
Nobody, who ventured deep into the zone were able to come outside alive.
The water itself makes people dizzy and unconscious easily. They had to create a barrier of spiritual energy around them and that too won't last long as the air inside the barrier will not be breathable after sometime.
Sam is very interested about the indigo patch.
So, he actually left the most of the investigation to Jack and Shadow mice. All he has to do is give the weekly reports of the investigation to Jack and he can deal with the rest.
After all, they can still use the Count and his forces. After the shadow mice is sure that there are no officials involved with the Black water branch or find out the involved officials, he can give a greenlight to the operation.
There is still a lot of poison that he created with the drugs from the Red coral city. Even if there is none of that poison, he can still make use of the venomous creatures in the indigo patch and create a variant poison.
Even though, there might be antidotes for the poisons of the sea side creatures, he can still make use of them and create a brand-new complex poison and use them against the gangs.
So, he immediately left these things to Jack. Since, the world is full of mysterious things, he wants to see if there is any opportunity in this place that will be of use to him
Every morning, Sam went to woods just like before and practised. But this time, he is not practising any combat instead, he is practising the wind element. He wants to see if he can identify the gases and separate them.
So, every morning, he is in the woods practising his Divine spirit soul cultivation and after noon tried to identify the gases and he mostly tried to practice identifying the oxygen.
Because, the trees emit the oxygen and he is surrounded by the tress.
If he divided the whole cultivation of Divine spirit soul cultivation into levels, he is now at Level 3 and he doesn't have access to further levels and didn't know how many are there.
Each and every level until now are unlocked with the improvement of the soul and spirit.
At every evening, Sam started venturing into sea with some fishermen. Even though they don't venture deep into the indigo patch, they move at the outskirts of the indigo patch.
Sam started observing the beasts at the outskirts of the indigo patch and he observed one thing. These creatures aren't normal.
They are mutated creatures. More accurately they are basically not venomous but they became like that because they were forced to adapt to the venomous environment created by the indigo patch. They evolved to defend themselves against the venom.
Sam collected some water and took it back with him to check it out.
That night after he returned to inn he went inside the dimension and kept the water in front of Yanwu.
Yanwu is from higher realms and might have seen many things, that is the reason Sam asked him if there is anything he can observe from the water.
"I cannot sense anything from the sample, but there is a minute familiarity from its smell. But I can't seem to identify it."
When he heard these words from Yanwu, he became even more interested in the indigo patch.
He cleared an area in the neutral zone of the dimension and planted some basic herbs there and some seeds of the herbs all of neutral type. He watered them with the indigo water and went out of the dimension.
Days passed, without Sam's complete help in tactics, Jack is having a bit of hard time to plot against the big gangs, even though he is getting the info required from Sam, he wasn't able to use the info efficiently to its maximum use.
If he asked Sam would help, but he himself wanted to test himself this one time. They still have a lot of time, so he is in no hurry.
Sam continued on observing the effects on the seeds and herbs he planted. After some repeated usage of the indigo water the herbs withered with a faint indigo shade on them.
But Sam observed something different from the seeds. They germinated and the sprouts all have that faint indigo shade too, but they didn't seem to be withered, rather they are quite healthy.
He didn't take them and let them grow.
Everyday, he made some experiments in the second-floor simulative environment. Even though, the replica of the indigo water was created and he performed the simulation on many animals.
The results aren't that accurate as they kept on changing and that is probably due to the insufficient analysis of the indigo water he had on his hand and wasn't able to create a simulated replica of the indigo water.
He didn't give up though. He started examining the creatures from the indigo patch, to compare them with their normal unmutated counter-parts.
Everything is going on.
One month passed, Jack is starting to make preparations to make some big moves against the gangs because, Sam confirmed that there are no officials that are linked and the situation of the gangs is similar to that of Falcon Cliff city.
So, Jack is going to stir some shit up in between the gangs, at the same time he informed the Count to take the actions immediately.
On the day of action, Jack still didn't ask help from Sam and the latter didn't volunteer.
Since, the former wanted to test himself, he will let him do it all the way.
Sam went to the woods as usual. He felt like he is close to identify the oxygen and differentiate it.
As long as he can identify the oxygen separately in a mixture of gases, his spiritual core ability manipulate can come into handy and he can do as he pleases.
Sam stood under a tree as he closed his eyes, he started concentrating as he simultaneously cultivated his mental energy.
Hours passed; Sam could feel the air around him started to view itself in a different spectrum. He could see various gases with different densities. But he was still a bit away from exactly pinpointing the oxygen or any other gas.
After a long time, finally he got an inkling. He could finally differentiate the gas coming from the leaf pores.
But Sam didn't stop, he just went on with his cultivation.
He stood there for more one and half day and finally opened his eyes. With his spiritual sense, he can finally differentiate the gases, but he couldn't identify all of them except oxygen.
Sam opened his palm as he collected the condensed wind. Soon, the wind became so condensed that it became visible.
But he is not done yet, he concentrated even more and another small sphere of condensed wind was formed with in the big sphere.
Sam took out a small space jade and he forcefully pushed through the large wind sphere and started pushing the smaller wind sphere into the space jade.
He is trying to store the pure oxygen inside the space jade.
Because, his next research is going to be done on the indigo sea patch and he need to make a device that can make him breathe freely underwater.
Because, from what Sam could guess, the main reason even the water type elemental mages weren't able to explore the indigo sea fully is because, even if they can stay underwater for a few hours and take the water pressure, the indigo water isn't normal water and it is fully contaminated.
And it seemed there are no proper antidotes to get over the effects of the water fully.
So, Sam is going to make a breathing equipment along with some diving equipment to venture deep into the indigo patch.
Now, his immediate research direction will be making a diving equipment which will save his energy expenditure to avoid water touching his skin and for that he has to find a resin or any alternative product to make the suit.
He even has some ideas on how to move inside the water with less effort.
So, Sam went back to the inn and holed up inside the library of the tower to findout, if any tree or another resource is available to get him the required material.
