It was known that dungeons are formed at the end of the soul energy vein.

The larger the vein the higher the rank of the dungeon formed.

But the abnormally small-sized soul energy vein in the core section of the S-rank dungeon underneath the E-rank field dungeon was artificially created out of the pure and concentrated soul energy being used in the dungeon relocation experiment.

Hence making it possible for this artificial soul energy vein to form an SS-rank dungeon despite its size.

This was only possible because the soul energy in it was so pure and concentrated that it could be used to create an SS-rank dungeon underneath the S-rank dungeon which was underneath an E-rank dungeon.

But Jill, who was aware of the dungeon formation, decided to use the pure and concentrated soul energy provided by the artificial soul energy vein for the creation of an SS-rank dungeon to grow Phantom Sword Wood using the Phantom Sword Wood array.

So when the width of the artificial soul energy vein suddenly increased by inches Jill used it as an opportunity to increase the production of Phantom Sword Wood using the excess soul energy that was suddenly available to her.

Since all the soul energy provided by the artificial soul energy vein was being siphoned for phantom sword wood plantation none was left for the creation of the SS-rank dungeon which the boy was dreading. This was the secret behind Jill's worry-free reaction.

…

Phantom Sword Wood array formation cannot be considered a pseudo-natural array but since Jill had set it up using the soul energy vein as its core it could be considered one.

The Phantom Sword wood array formation has two modes one was the sheathed mode and the other was the unsheathed mode.

In sheathed mood phantom Sword Woods used in the array give the strong illusion of being regular trees and completely hide the presence of the area they are set up at and their surroundings, depending on the soul energy available and range of the array setup by the user.

In unsheathed mode, the phantom sword woods in the array formation act as the sharp unsheathed swords and slash the enemy unit within their attack range with their sword intent.

The phantom sword array formation makes up a perfect stealth and attack type array formation but the ingredients used to set it up were very expensive, so any seasoned array master would know, for that budget better and more efficient alternatives were available in the market.

But considering the fact that Jill was using the S-rank dungeon underneath the E-rank dungeon as her private Phantom Sword Wood plantation her choice could not be more correct for the circumstance of course.

Why was there a need for the stealth-type array in the first place? It was to avoid the S-rank dungeon underneath the E-rank dungeon being detected by the array formation covering the southern region. This part of Blossom district was mostly occupied with Third-Grade cities which were not equipped to deal with an S-rank dungeon, so the array covering the southern region would alert the corresponding authorities and then Jill's private and illegal plantation would be exposed. Jill only had permission for the E-rank field dungeons above and not the S-rank dungeon underneath them. Hence the need for the stealth-type array formation.

…

Why did the boy blame Jill and her phantom sword wood plantation as the reason behind the delay in the dungeon relocation experiment led by Dr. Luna in Sky Blossom city?

For the water to boil the pan has to heat up, similarly for the dungeon relocation to happen the surrounding circumstances should be formed but that was not possible as Jill kept stealing from the artificial soul energy vein which was somehow a part of the process of the dungeon relocation.

Due to Jill's intervention whatever role the artificial soul energy vein was supposed to play in the dungeon relocation was interrupted. Hence, metaphorically Luna could not heat the pan to boil the water. Meaning no matter how much soul energy she fed to the dungeon relocation apparatus it was unable to carry on the dungeon relocation as there was unknown energy loss in its process.

Explaining the sudden increase in the width of the artificial soul energy vein, Luna increased the input soul energy to the dungeon relocation apparatus to make up for the soul energy lost hoping that it would be enough to complete the dungeon relocation but she could not have guessed that her solution only ended up filling Jill's pockets.

…

"In your dreams," Jill flatly rejected the boy's offer to splitting her profits from her phantom sword wood plantation with him in exchange for him explaining to her how he connected that she was stealing from the Southern Royal family when he was still debating whether artificial creation of soul energy vein was possible.

"Suit yourself, I will see how long it will take for you to cave to curiosity worms running around in your mind?" I said nonchalantly as if there was one thing I was sure about good researchers was that they can not control their curiosity. In time Jill would cave to her weakness, her curiosity, that was if she did not figure out the answer herself. I know my asking price was sky-high but you have to understand that in negotiation this was basic. Negotiation? I would be stupid if I thought that Jill would directly agree to my terms.

"Whatever," Jill tried to act as if she did not care but her eyes gave her way, she was pissed at the boy. Then she thought of something and said, "I take it that now you have come to a basic understanding of what I am doing here?"

For the boy to call Jill out on what she was doing down here, he had to have an idea of how her research was connected to the Dungeon relocation research.
