Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

Chapter 347 Candle

After Ni Jun and Pan Zhang left, Lu Yao went to Jia Liu's cave to play with her.

Jia Tian was seen fiddling with some small white beans and small white cotton balls on the stone bed.

Lu Yao quickly stepped forward and picked up two items.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained a tallow tree seed. Reward: one gold coin!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained cotton. Reward: one gold coin!"

Lu Yao checked the illustrated guide and found that these two items could be used to make candles, so she quickly asked Tian Wu to call Hai Wei.

"These are tallow tree seeds, and these are cotton. These two things can be made into candles for lighting. Could you exchange them for me?"

Having witnessed the power of the Goddess, Haiwei said, "These are all toys that the clan gives to the young children. It would be too polite to exchange them. I'll give them all to the Goddess."

Are these things easy to find?

"Once the rainy season market begins, I can ask my people to keep an eye out; it shouldn't be too hard to find."

Lu Yao: "Since that's the case, I'll tell you how to make candles, and we can just exchange candles with you from now on."

Haiwei's eyes lit up: "That would be perfect!"

Lu Yao: "Actually, the method of making candles is very simple. First, put the seeds of the tallow tree into boiling water and boil them until the white wax layer melts. After cooling, a floating wax block will form on the surface."

"Remove the wax block and place it in a heat-resistant container to heat it in a water bath until it is completely melted. At the same time, prepare a mold, soak cotton thread or cotton cloth strips in the melted wax and fix them in the center of the mold as a wick, pour in the wax oil and let it cool. After demolding, it is ready to use."

Haiwei asked, "What is a mold?"

Lu Yao took out a bamboo water bottle from her spatial storage: "This kind of bamboo will do, the thinner the better, a candle about the thickness of a thumb is enough."

"We have this stuff; we usually use it to make racks for chilled fish. I never thought it could be used to make molds."

Hayley carefully recalled the candle-making process, then asked, "And what is cotton thread?"

Lu Yao tore a piece of cotton and said, "Cotton thread is a thin thread made by twisting cotton. Try it when you get back; it shouldn't be difficult."

Haiwei took all the tallow tree seeds and cotton back to his cave. Fearing he would forget the steps to make candles if left for too long, he quickly gathered the ingredients and got to work.

After a day and a night of hard work, Haiwei finally succeeded in making a candle!

He carefully placed the precious candle on the stone bed, and then gently lit the wick with trembling hands.

Instantly, the faint but warm candlelight began to flicker, illuminating the dark corners around them. Haiwei stared wide-eyed at the dancing flame, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up inside him.

Although he had failed many times before, each failure leaving him frustrated, he never gave up. And now, the burning candlelight before him was the best reward for his persistent efforts.

Haiwei's heart pounded as he held the candle aloft to the entrance of the cave where the goddess resided. He excitedly shouted, "Goddess, the candle is finished!"

Instead of being annoyed by the noise, Lu Yao urged her partner, "Get up quickly, let's go out and look at the candles!"

Xiang Liu said unhappily, "Disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning, how annoying!"

Lu Yao: "Keep your voice down, don't let Haiwei hear us. With candles, we'll have something to light up at night, which is a good thing!"

After the two came out, Haiwei said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's all my fault for being too excited and not considering that it was still early. I disturbed the Goddess's rest."

Xiang Liu was about to say something when Lu Yao stopped him with a sharp look.

Lu Yao took the burning candle, and the system immediately issued a notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully obtained a candle. Reward: one gold coin!"

Having only been on the island for a short time, I've already earned three gold coins. This trip was definitely worth it! A smile involuntarily crept onto my face.

Seeing his female companion respond so readily, Xiang Liu's mood improved considerably: "Since the Goddess likes it, you can make more candles from now on, and exchange them for anything you wish!"

Haiwei: "The method of making these candles was taught by the Goddess. As long as we can get enough materials during the rainy season, we will definitely make more candles to give to the Goddess."

Lu Yao: "Your eyes are all dark, you must not have slept all night, go back and get some rest!"

"I was so busy making candles yesterday that I forgot to bring food to the Goddess. I'll go get food for everyone now."

Xiang Liu: "No need. I will catch whatever Yao Yao likes to eat."
