Boom!!!!

The roar of the thrusters echoed like thunder in the firmament, as a massive shadow descended from the clouds, approaching the land bit by bit, like a soaring giant.

Hovering above the sea.

A Moose-class Cargo Flying Airship, as large as a minor half of Xinquan, hovered above the Prosperity, blocking the stars and moonlight, while blazing searchlights harshly pierced down, resembling glowing Heavenly Pillars overlooking the surroundings.

On the deck, indicator lights were waved by the pre-descended staff, correcting deviations, and after locking onto the position, soon, a massive container was gently lowered.

Perfectly landing on the pre-cleared deck, then quickly disassembled, exposing under layers of protection, the colossal Xi He type fourth-generation Central Furnace, towering several tens of meters high.

Even without installing and attaching other equipment, the massive Central Furnace stood over ten meters high, its silent gray-black structure emanating no light or flame, yet just upon approaching, one could feel the pure Embers aura within.

Once, the selling price was unattainable, the top-tier Central Furnace available on the market now stood before Ji Jue, but unexpectedly, he felt neither the excitement nor thrill like during the Illusion.

Quite the opposite... a certain calm tranquility.

"For now, it's sufficient."

He patted the furnace's body, softly contemplating.

Mechanical Descent slightly operated, rapidly completing tests amidst spiritual currents. Without blemishes or damages, all parameters matched those guaranteed by the association, precision defying scrutiny.

The importance of the furnace to a craftsman is beyond words.

Even more so than weapons to the Great Group.

The Great Group lacking swords still had fists, teeth, and even eyes to glare people to death. But a common craftsman without a furnace was little different from a mere fixture.

Such a costly large Central Furnace suffices to serve as the core in any workshop, able to simultaneously handle over sixteen batches of refinement and molding, directly create giant alchemy creations, and serve as a hub, coordinating the operation of multiple workshop modules...

Everything in normal use was entirely problem-free.

However, compared to other large workshops, it lacked far more than just a bit... not only heritage, spirituality, and experience; the furnaces used by large workshops might have been passed down through dozens to hundreds of generations, maintained by successive craftsmen, and were no longer merely furnaces, even ordinary Heavenly Artisans couldn't quite reach them.

Through long-term enrichment and maintenance, not only is the lower limit raised, but it can also imbue creations with characteristics of various schools—from catalyzing material extraction to fostering weapon ferocity, enhancing the material nature limit or boosting the spirituality and quality of creations...

In contrast, his current behemoth was merely a basic blank slate.

However, that blank slate is precisely what he bought.

After all, to cultivate a furnace that fully matches one's habits, it must start from oneself, undergoing long years of enrichment and tuning, spanning dozens to hundreds of years, passed down tirelessly, qualitative change forms naturally.

Or, directly extract, maintain, and unfold the spiritual structure initially gleaned from the Mercury Workshop out of the Doomsday Special Train's reserve library, gradually implanting thereafter, naturally reaching full completion one step at a time!

Yet, even such a shortcut, for Ji Jue currently, the difficulty and scale were still too daunting.

Can only proceed gradually.

"Wouldn't you confirm a little more? Rest assured, we have plenty of time."

The association's specialist smiled waiting for his inspection, seeing him merely touch briefly then release, internally marveled while the smile grew more attentive, truly this generation's chief, his insight and composure were indeed extraordinary.

More importantly, he's financially robust...

Though Xi He was the association's front-page icon, maxed-out performance, lacking no functions, equally limited by its blank slate status, the poor couldn't buy, the rich disdain. So the three pieces currently in stock were gathering dust in storage for over a decade.

Otherwise, how could Ji Jue through Gustav's introduction, snatch it at cost price markdown?

And it's even on installment.

After all, all of Ji Jue's savings combined weren't even enough for the down payment, with Jiang Tongguang's guarantee, almost snatched on credit, then partially repay through Sea Tide Group's dividends...

And this was the point everyone realized in retrospect... the whole process, top to bottom, everyone naturally made exceptions for special circumstances, no surprises, not even any reproach, even if spread out there'd be no ripple.

Unexpectedly, no one doubted he couldn't repay this debt?!

"Worthy of Chief Ji."

After Ji Jue completed signing, the specialist's smile almost overflowed with sweetness, complimenting: "In just a few months, starting from scratch, already established such a massive industry, even within the association's history it's few and far between."

"Overpraised, overpraised, just small business, had no choice, picked things everyone discarded." Ji Jue made polite conversation: "Fortunate to have made a windfall, nothing comparable to other workshops, generational legacy, deeply rooted, profound heritage."

"With your capability, sooner or later there will be achievements, perhaps might even forge a legend."
