As the Crystal Shards fell softly, Lucius held Almond Jelly, which happened to land on the Shadow Beast, Mei Xin.
The ethereal petals of the Ice Crystal Orchid spread along the Star Trail, freezing the Bloodthorn into a translucent Relief.
Seizing the moment, Luna grabbed the collar of the young Silver Gray, her fingers dusted with Star Sand tracing a Seven-pointed Star pattern on his Moonlight Birthmark.
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly darted out from behind the Obsidian Pillar, her skirt embroidered with Gold Thread sweeping across the ground covered in ice crystals.
In her haste to pick up the Jade Medicine Box, she inadvertently swung her hairpin, Yin Shu, directly towards Luna's hand back.
Luna laughed as she dove into Aelia's embrace, shoving the last half piece of Fairy Herb Paste into her lips. "Mother, try this; Sister Qian Si has been brewing Phoenix Tears all night."
The shimmering green paste melted instantly upon entrance, and Aelia's neck, frozen for three years by the Flame Tattoo, suddenly burst forth with red light.
She realized that her exhausted Magic Spring began to flow again, and the Crimson Flame Staff sealed by Leonard was stirring in her Mind Sea.
"Madam, be careful; it might be poisonous!" Qin Si abruptly snatched the medicine box away, the jade-carved lid reflecting her pale pupils. "Luna, sharing such a precious item so casually seems like..."
"Seems like squandering?" Luna swayed in her bell-adorned short boots, playfully counting on her fingers. "Big Brother's wheelchair needs Frost Dragon Breath for lubrication; Second Brother's pocket watch is missing Ice Crystal Orchid as a spring; Brother San's Bronze Gear should be tempered with Phoenix Blood—didn't Sister Qian Si secretly keep three drops when brewing?"
The maid stumbled back and collided with a Bronze Candlestick, causing twelve Magic Flames to turn an eerie green simultaneously.
Lucius suddenly reached out to steady the swaying candlestick, his sleeve's Dark Pattern shimmering alongside Luna. "Father should go comfort the startled guests."
The hilt of Leonard's sword had absorbed enough vitality from Leonard's Concubine and now emitted a satisfied hum.
He cast a deep glance at Aelia's recovering complexion before wrapping his Dark Cloak around the remnants of the Binding Array and swirling out of the Banquet Hall.
As the Gilded Gate slammed shut, Luna immediately hopped over to Brother San's Mechanical Wheelchair.
She tiptoed to smear Fairy Herb Paste at the gear joints, watching as the Bronze rust faded into a moonlight-like Silver White. "Phoenix Tears mixed with Shadow Beast Marrow, plus Stardust Dew from atop Eternal Night Palace—it's a pity that Father fed the last three Frost Phoenixes Long Jing."
Aelia brushed her fingertips over the newly burning Flame Tattoo and suddenly lifted her daughter to eye level. "Could this recipe be copied for Mother?"
"Your Second Brother's Ice Crystal Orchid always backfires during Lunar Eclipse Night. If only..."
"The recipe is engraved on the back of the Eternal Night Palace stone tablet," Luna said, shaking her headband adorned with Star Diamonds. She suddenly tossed a piece of Milk Jelly at Brother San, who was busy restarting the Protective Array. "But to brew the potion, you need a Shadow Beast that has swallowed Long Jing as a catalyst, and you must catch the first tear when the Frost Phoenix weeps—Brother San, watch out for the gears!"
At that moment, a Bronze Gear brushed past Brother San's fingertips, forcing Qin Si to take two steps back as he attempted to touch the medicine box.
Lucius chuckled softly, and his Moonlight Birthmark flickered as he snapped his fingers, casting a Star Map in the chandelier's remains. "Father has raised Seven Shadow Beasts in the Eternal Night Palace."
"So there are plenty of Ingredients available?" Luna tilted her head, blowing away some Stardust that had drifted into her eyes, allowing Aelia to wipe the bloodstains from her palm with Si Pa. "But the Frost Phoenix went extinct Three Hundred Years Ago. Does Mother intend to dig up the Phoenix Tomb beneath the Extreme North Icefield?"
The side hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence, with only the frost beneath Elder Brother's wheelchair crackling softly.
Aelia's Neck Flame Tattoo suddenly flared up, and the tail feathers of a golden phoenix swept across Qin Si's pale face.
"Never mind, Lulu can write down the recipe for Mother first." Aelia placed her daughter on a Sandalwood Table covered with a Star Map and personally ground ink mixed with Gold Dust. "Whatever Ingredients are needed, Mother will send someone to find them."
Suddenly, a Longyin sound echoed from the direction of the Eternal Night Palace, and twenty Star Trails once again streaked across the sky.
Lucius played with half-melted Almond Jelly as his Moonlight Birthmark projected an illusion reminiscent of Casino Roulette. "Tomorrow at noon, the Iris at the registration booth for the competition will be in full bloom."
Luna paused slightly as she held the wolf hair brush; ink spread on the Parchment in a phoenix-shaped stain.
She watched Aelia toss aside a failed Yellowed Page into the fire pit, where the flames rose and formed Ashes that took on the shape of an Ice Crystal Orchid.
Luna grasped the golden wolf hair brush handed to her by Aelia, dipping its tip into ink to create a swirling Star Pattern.
Deliberately, she pressed her finger stained with Milk Stain onto the Parchment. "First, we need to use Frost Phoenix tears to draw the framework of the Magic Circle."
Aelia's Crimson Flame Staff and Xu Ying flickered behind her, while her maidservants had long been isolated outside by her barrier.
Qin Si's hand, holding the crystal ink plate, suddenly trembled, and the Ice Crystal Orchid and Blue Blood Fern Juice spread an eerie Azure Purple at the edge of the Parchment.
"The main ingredient is the heart of an ancient dragon from the demon realm," Luna poked at Qin Si's pale Fingertip with her pen. "We need to take half of the still-beating heart chamber and refrigerate it with Stardust Dew from Eternal Night Palace for twelve hours."
The ink plate in Qin Si's hand crashed to the ground, and Ice Crystal Shards refracted Sevenfold Phantom under the moonlight.
The gray-white patterns in her Pupil suddenly twisted into a Serpent Pattern, only to dissipate instantly under Aelia's Scepter's pressure.
"Tomorrow, let the Dark Guard hunt the dragon," Aelia said, her Flame Tattoo sprouting phoenix feathers along her Collarbone. The Crimson Gold Radiance swept across the Parchment filled with Luna's Ingredients. "The Phoenix Tomb in the Extreme North Icefield is in need of a new guardian."
A roar from a Shadow Beast echoed outside, as twenty-three Star Trails simultaneously swept past the Eternal Night Palace's Castle Spire.
Lucius paused his fingers playing with a Mechanical Gear; the floating Xing Xu in his Moonlight Birthmark coalesced into a miniature compass in his Palm.
Leonard's Dark Cloak brushed against an Azure Wind Antelope, and Dark Red blood patterns moved across the cloak's Lining like living creatures.
He stood before the training post on the Third Star Track, watching as Lucius pierced through the ninth magical target with an Ice Crystal Longsword formed from Xing Xu.
"Tomorrow’s junior competition will use the mirror magic of the seventh Star Trail." The sword hilt’s Long Jing suddenly emitted a hum, and Leonard's Fingertip flicked out a dark Purple Glimmer. "Your Second Brother was here back then..."
Suddenly, the training post cracked open a Gap, and from within the Magic Mirror emerged Leonard's Last Night, where his best friend pushed Second Brother into a blood Thorny Bush.
Lucius's Sword Tip quivered as the Sword Body formed from Xing Xu suddenly shattered into countless Ying Huo.
"My brother’s Wheelchair needs to be replaced with Frost Dragon Breath." Leonard turned abruptly, causing a gust from his cloak to topple over a Bronze Candlestick in the Training Ground’s Southeast Corner. "He has been in the Alchemical Chamber for an entire month, and what he produced is worse than that of a three-year-old Child."
Lucius lowered his gaze to wipe off the Stardust smeared on his Moonlight Birthmark as the roar of the Shadow Beast seeped through the ventilation shaft.
The floating Xing Xu within his sleeve’s Dark Pattern suddenly formed the emblem of the Magic Fortress Tournament but shattered into Powder under Long Jing’s pressure.
Luna tiptoed against the Liujin Window, watching as the Dark Guard flew across the sky with frozen dragon remnants.
Aelia's Flame Tattoo had spread to her wrist, with the crimson-gold phoenix Xu Ying flickering in her hair.
"Does Mother really want to stew dragon heart soup?" Luna asked, shaking her short boots adorned with Star Diamonds. The remnants of Milk Jelly on the windowsill formed a fragmented Star Map. "That ancient dragon Father keeps underground in the Eternal Night Palace has its left atrium connected to the core of the Binding Array..."
Aelia ignited Phoenix Fire at her fingertip, incinerating the parchment filled with Ingredients into Ashes.
From the Ashes, an Ice Crystal Orchid suddenly burst forth, revealing the Memory Crystal hidden in Qin Si's sleeve—Leonard's Last Night showed Leonard and Leonard's Concubine engaged in a secret conversation under the blood moon.
"Lulu wonders what ingredients should be paired when using an ancient dragon's heart for medicine?" Aelia's Scepter pierced the Memory Crystal, and the erupting crimson flames startled a flock of Shadow Bats resting in the Eaves Corner.
A tremendous Roar suddenly echoed from the direction of the Eternal Night Palace, dimming seven Star Trails simultaneously.
Lucius appeared at the Turn Corner of the Emerald Corridor, holding an Iris. The floating Xing Xu within his Moonlight Birthmark coincidentally formed a pattern resembling a Casino Roulette.
As Luna was lifted onto the observation platform by Lucius, the Bronze Sacred Bell of the Magic Fortress Tournament sounded its third Roar.
Leonard's Dark Cloak swept past the judging panel, reflecting images of his elder brother shattering the 19th Gear Model in the Alchemical Chamber and Second Brother’s robe fragments torn apart while struggling in a blood Thorny Bush.
"Father said that elder brother's Mechanical Theory could make it to the finals." Lucius suddenly pinned a Black Rose formed from Xing Xu into Luna's hair. "It's a pity that practical sessions require controlling a Magic Puppet on the Tenth Star Track..."
Aelia's Crimson Flame Staff suddenly plunged into the ground, and from within Xiong Xiong’s raging fire rose a ten-meter-high Magical Projection—depicting Lucius’s stern expression when he remarked last night at the Training Ground that "Mechanical Gear is no match for a three-year-old Child."
The Viewing Platform fell silent instantly as twenty Magic Listening Arrays turned to Qing Yan in the flames.
The Star Trail on Azure Wind Antelope glimmered with an eerie blue Red Glow as Leonard’s Dark Cloak swept over Lucius’s freshly formed tenth Star Trail Magic Circle.
The boy's Moonlight Birthmark flickered ominously, with half of a Tear hanging from the tip of an Ice Crystal Longsword’s remaining wing of a Magic Puppet.
"Your elder brother destroyed three Frost Dragon Skeletons last night." Leonard's sword hilt Long Jing reflected scenes from the Alchemical Chamber and Leonard's Last Night—the Mechanical Wheelchair rolling over scattered gear fragments while elder brother’s pale fingers poured Ice Blue Potion into the wound of Magic Backlash. "He insists on using the seventh Star Trail theory to modify Puppet cores but can't even stabilize a Basic Magic Circuit."
Suddenly, a burst of crimson flames erupted, revealing the scene in the Magic Mirror where Second Brother was entangled by Blood Thorn.
Lucius concentrated, forming an Ice Blade to sever the illusory vines. However, the broken Thorns transformed into venomous snakes that bit into Second Brother's ankle—an eerie reenactment of the betrayal by a dear friend three months ago.
"The Magic Castle has no need for theorists who merely talk without action." Leonard's cloak dripped with blood patterns that flowed onto Lucius's shoulder, morphing into a Binding Spell Seal that sank into his skin. "It cannot afford to harbor waste that has been trapped by Illusion Magic for a full seven days."
Outside the window, the roar of a Frost Dragon echoed, and seventeen Star Trails illuminated the Training Ground Dome simultaneously.
Lucius lowered his gaze as the Curse Mark embedded itself into his collarbone. The Moonlight Birthmark flickered, suddenly forming the emblem of the Magic Fortress Tournament.
Luna tiptoed to fiddle with the Ice Crystal Orchid crystallized on the Pillar, while remnants of Milk Jelly coalesced into a Micro Star Map at her fingertips.
In the morning mist, a scent of burning stardust wafted through. The residual glow of Tenth Star Track from Lucius's sleeve fell onto her hair.
"Father scolded two Magic Puppets to tears in the Training Ground." The boy placed a chilled cup of Cherry Juice on the windowsill, its frosted walls reflecting the bustling registration area for the Magic Fortress Tournament. "The latest betting odds: Brother's Mechanical Theory is at 1:9, while Second Brother's Illusion Breaker is at 1:20."
Luna suddenly poured Cherry Juice into the Ice Crystal Orchid's heart, and the deep red Blue Blood Fern Juice soaked through the Star Map Pattern on the bluestone slab. "What are Brother San's odds for improving his Bronze Gear?"
"1:100, equal to that of Shadow Beast winning." Lucius's Moonlight Birthmark shimmered with Xing Mang as he produced a Bet Betrayal List formed from Xing Xu from his sleeve. "However, Father just wagered three hundred Dragon Crystal Coins on my victory."
From the shadows of the Wisteria Arbor came a sudden clicking sound of gears turning as Brother San's Mechanical Wheelchair rolled over Luna's Star Map.
The Bronze Gear that fell from his arms rolled right into the Ice Crystal Orchid patch, striking a hidden Memory Crystal and creating a crack—inside, yesterday’s Ashen Phoenix burned by Aelia flapped its wings.
Luna curled up amidst a small mountain of Ancient Star Charts, with Milk Jelly spreading across parchment to reveal fragments of a Magic Circle.
Outside, waves from Aelia’s Crimson Flame Staff drifted in, causing seventeen Star Diamonds to light up in her hair.
"Brother’s Magic Circuit needs Frost Phoenix blood for reconstruction." She dipped her fingers in Cherry Juice and drew a Bloodline diagram on the window glass. "Second Brother’s resistance to Illusion Magic can be enhanced using Eternal Night Palace Stardust..."
Suddenly, a hidden door in the Library of Hidden Books swung open as Lucius entered with Ye Lu Han Qi.
He discreetly arranged the Xing Xu into the modified Bronze Gear Model by Brother San, while the Moonlight Birthmark reflected Xu Ying from the Casino Roulette: "The Dealer just accepted bets made with magical inventions."
Luna suddenly pressed her jam-covered finger onto the cover of the Magic Castle Inheritance Codex, her glass-like eyes reflecting the Celestial Star Map: "What if we hit three obscure options at once?"
A roar from the Frost Dragon echoed outside as twenty-three Star Trails twisted into the shape of a Phoenix Tail Feather.
Inside Lucius's Moonlight Birthmark, the Xing Xu suddenly formed a three-dimensional roulette, with Brother San's modified Bronze Gear spinning rapidly at its center.
As the last rays of twilight sank into the Eternal Night Palace's Castle Spire, a crisp sound emanated from the Milk Jelly Box hidden within Luna's Star Chart.
The lid of the glass box flipped open automatically, revealing a Betting Scheme drawn in Cherry Juice—three blood-red fingerprints pressed down on Big Brother's Mechanical Theory, Second Brother's Illusion Breaker, and Brother San's modified Bronze Gear.
The starry sky outside the Library of Hidden Books suddenly dimmed as seventeen Magic Lanterns focused simultaneously on the direction of the casino.
The Xing Xu roulette in Lucius's sleeve began to spin wildly, while Brother San's fallen Bronze Gear tapped out a rhythm reminiscent of a phoenix taking flight on the windowsill.
The Memory Crystal among the Ice Crystal Orchids finally shattered completely, as Aelia's Ashen Phoenix and Xu Ying broke through their seal, rushing toward the Casino Dome with a flow of Crimson Flame.
And all of this was quietly recorded by Luna's fingertip as it touched the still-melting Milk Jelly and Star Map.
