Alex watched the Artifact God place the giant dragon scale on the workshop floor and sit on one side before bringing out one artifact. She looked toward Alex, explaining what she was doing.
"I have Fire, Metal, and Earth spirit roots, so I need something to create the aura for the missing Water root. This artifact will let me," she said, showing the rectangular block of clear white crystal she held in her hand.
"How exactly do you use it?" Alex asked with no small amount of curiosity. He had never seen an artifact that worked like this, after all.
"It's quite simple. You understand how techniques work, right? How they require Intent to have the Qi go through several meridians before they end up working as they are expected to?" she asked.
"Yes. I have the Dao of Techniques," Alex said.
The woman paused for a moment, nearly losing her train of thought. But she quickly gathered herself and got right back to finishing her explanation.
