# Chapter 1: Spirit Cat +13 (Legendary Gem)
The dim light of the alchemy laboratory flickered as Mage Sage Seraphilia carefully examined the legendary-grade gem floating before her. The Spirit Cat gem pulsed with a soft, ethereal glow, its surface etched with intricate runes that seemed to shift and writhe like living creatures.
"Thirteen successful enhancements," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "A feat that even the master alchemists of the Second Era: Alchemical Civilization would envy."
The gem, now at +13 enhancement level, radiated an almost palpable aura of power. Each successful upgrade had been a gamble, a dance with probability that would have driven lesser enchanters to madness. But Seraphilia was no ordinary enchanter—she was a Mage Sage, one of the few who could peer into the fabric of reality itself and manipulate the threads of fortune.
She reached out with her spiritual sense, probing the gem's structure. The legendary-grade Spirit Cat gem was a treasure that could enhance any piece of equipment with feline agility and supernatural reflexes. At +13, its properties had transcended the boundaries of what was thought possible.
"With this," she said, turning to face the shadowy figure standing in the corner of the laboratory, "your Hunt List: Blood Pact will be complete."
Kukulin Bai Ye stepped forward, his expression unreadable. The Transcendent Primordial World's most feared hunter extended his hand, and the gem floated toward him, settling into his palm with a soft chime.
"The Void Tree Reputation will increase significantly," Mawen Hua'erzi added, emerging from behind a crystalline pillar. "But more importantly, this gem will allow you to bypass the defenses of the Archbishop of the Abyss."
Green Gillian nodded in agreement, her fingers tracing patterns in the air as she calculated probabilities. "The Attribute Enhancement Hall and Equipment Enhancement Hall have never seen such a perfect specimen. Even the Skill Upgrade Hall's records show nothing comparable."
Seraphilia's eyes narrowed. "The Don Quixote Family and the Whitebeard Pirates have both expressed interest in acquiring this gem. We must be cautious."
"Let them come," Kukulin Bai Ye said, his hand closing around the gem. "My Blade Path: Azure Demon has been sharpened on the Origin Stone: World itself. They will find only death."
The gem pulsed once more, and for a brief moment, the entire laboratory was bathed in a light that seemed to come from beyond the stars. The Spirit Cat +13 had found its master.
