《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Preparations
Advertisement
In order to prepare for my upcoming quests, I decided to make some pills as well as some masks. I brought out my bag and rummaged through the collection. I took out the three Primordial Emperor of Fire feathers that I got from Alliuna, the 28 fresh mermaid corpses, an electric wisp in a bottle, frost essence from an ice elemental, and the Earth-type Guardian Dragon corpse. After I brought out the items, I opened Maker's Domain and proceeded with some pill refinement.
Using the Corpse Pill Refinement technique, I took the Earth-type Guardian Dragon corpse and started refining it...condensing it and further refining it. The corpse dries up and then breaks apart into chunks. Then, the chunks further dry and break apart until the chunks become fine powder. Next, using a small fire, I began liquefying the powder while making sure that none of the essence escapes. After liquefying, I began to compress and condense and refine the liquid. As the refinement is occurring at a steady pace, I added a drop of my blood filled with Maker's Essence to the mixture. After a while, an A-rank pill is formed. Appraising the pill allowed me to see that the pill will, upon consumption, increase all of my stats significantly. In addition, it would also increase my affinity to Earth and increase my Nature resistance.
Satisfied, I moved on to the next items - the three Primordial Emperor of Fire feathers. Now feathers are a part of a body so I can also use Corpse Pill Refinement technique to refine the feathers into pills. I took the feathers and started refining it...condensing it and further refining it. The feathers dry up and then break apart into chunks. Then, the chunks further dry and break apart until the chunks become fine powder. Next, using a small fire, I began liquefying the powder while making sure that none of the essence escapes. After liquefying, I began to compress and condense and refine the liquid. As the refinement is occurring at a steady pace, I added a drop of my blood filled with Maker's Essence to the mixture. After a while, six S-rank pills are formed. Appraising the pill allowed me to see that the pill will, upon consumption, increase my Fire affinity, increase my Fire resistance, and also grant me a chance of special ability - Rebirth by Fire (a skill that allows to me to, upon near death, turn into fire and revert back into original form healthy and not wounded as if the fire burned away all the injuries; can be used once a day)

Taking the electric wisp which is essentially a large amount of condensed Lightning Essence, I began using Essence Manipulation to expand the electric wisp and break it apart into pure raw Lightning Essence. Then, using Essence Refinement, I started condensing and refining the essence while chanting incantations. Then, I mixed a drop of blood filled with Maker's Essence into the Lightning Essence. After a while, I was able to make a B-rank pill. Appraising the pill, I see that the pill will increase my affinity with Lightning, increase my Lightning resistance, and also gives me a chance of getting a skill - Shock (Lightning surrounds a part of the body allowing me to be able to use that part like a taser). Next, I took the Frost Essence and began using Essence Refinement. I started condensing and refining the essence while chanting incantations. Then, I mixed a drop of blood filled with Maker's Essence into the Frost Essence. After a while, I was able to make a B-rank pill. Appraising the pill, I see that the pill will increase my affinity with Ice, increase my Ice resistance, and also gives me a chance of getting a skill - Frost Armor (Ice surrounds a part of the body like armor and defends that part from attacks).
After making the pills, I began mass producing some masks. I took one of the mermaid corpses and removed the fins of the mermaid tail. Then, I started shaping the fins into a eye mask. I decorate the mask with mermaid scales. Then, while chanting incantations, I dropped a few drops of mermaid blood onto the mask. The blood spreads around the mask enveloping it and turning the mask into a crimson red color. After a while, the blood fuses with the mask and the color of the mask reverts back to its original bluish color. Finally, I dropped a drop of my blood filled with Maker's Essence onto the mask. Finally, after a few more incantations, the mask is completed. I appraised the mask:

Mask of the Water Maiden: C-rank
No cooldown
Stamina Drain 10% per hour
Indestructible
No-limit
Enchanted Normal Mask
Special Abilities:
Allows user to breathe underwater
100% increase in swimming ability
5% regeneration per hour while submerged in water
Satisfied, I put away the mask and begin to do the same to the other 27 mermaid corpses. After making a total of 28 masks, I began refining the mermaid remains forming one big pill. This pill, upon appraisal, will boost my vitality and affinity with Water. In addition, it will increase my Water resistance as well. After finishing, I took the Earth Dragon pill, the Lightning pill, the Frost pill, the Mermaid pill, and three of the Primordial Emperor of Fire pills. After eating the pills and cultivate them one by one, I soon feel a huge increase in my capabilities and resistances. In addition, I have gained the Shock, Frost Armor, and Rebirth by Fire skills. After a hundred years of cultivation, I closed my Maker's Domain. Suddenly, I sensed a disturbance in my vicinity...this feeling...familiar. Looking around, I see PK nearby. He must have "Plunder" something from me again. I checked my storage bag and ring and found that none was missing. Must have been a skill then...I walk past him and quickly cast my "Plunder" skill at him and looted the Seekers skill, which allows me to track and sense ghosts.
Next, I flew towards the Arctic Tundra using Roaming the Skies. Upon arriving, I see a number of Frost Giant camps along the borders. In addition, I also see a number of Fire Giant camps opposite to the Frost Giant camps...are they going to have a large scale war or something? I shrugged and ignored my urge to find out. I grabbed my Ghost Mask and turned invisible. Then, I arrived at the nearest camp and searched for the storage tent. Upon finding the tent, I began looting it of Eternal Ice shards. I repeat this process with other camps until I had over 1000 Eternal Ice shards...that shows how many Frost Giant camps are there along the borders of the Arctic Tundra. It also shows just how many Fire Giant camps are out there as well. After getting over 1000 Eternal Ice shards, I headed back to the guild.
