The Void Mask's general put an end to this challenging problem of keeping the poor citizens of Dahl Hill warm.
Sui Xiong most certainly did not need to cut trees. After understanding the situation, he cast his Divine Power and retrieved some red-hot stones directly from the Fire Element Plane. These red-hot stones could radiate heat continuously in a steady flow.
These stones could absorb heat, and when placed in cold environments, it would release the heat previously absorbed. On the Main Plane, many fashionable, prominent merchants would use them to stay warm in places of temporary accommodation. As compared to using magic power to obtain warmth, the cost of using these stones was slightly lower. The only problem was that it was more dangerous—these stones were unstable; they exploded easily and might burn people around it.
