Chapter 256 Ironmaking Hands

The refining of the life replacement array is nearing completion, and everyone is busy and exhausted.

Especially the supply of various raw materials is a bit stretched.

At this time, Chen Qi took the initiative to volunteer to go mining, and naturally received some praise and the green light all the way.

If the other candidates were not too weak, the three examiners would have called on everyone to learn from Chen Qi.

…

"Xiaobai, wake up, it's time to work!"

After leaving the Sea Kite, Chen Qi woke up Xiaobai, who had turned into a bracelet, again.

It is not known whether Xiaobai has become more powerful after the increase of spirituality, or whether it has realized the unity of man and nature from the Steel Warrior.

Anyway, once Xiaobai falls into a deep sleep now, even Chen Qi will find it difficult to find that it is a source ore.

Chen Qi has been wandering around the Sea Kite with the bracelet for so long, and no one has seen it.

"Clang, clang!"

The awakened Xiaobai once again turned into a silver-white snake and merged into the Steel Warrior.

Then it ran around happily with a pace that didn't recognize any relatives.

Obviously, Xiaobai now likes sports and doesn't like to sleep.

...

If you want to mine, you must first find the mines.

Shengxian Island is extremely huge. Even if Caroline and the others inherited some map information from the Jidao Organization.

But it takes a lot of trouble to find specific resource mines.

This is also the reason why the supply of raw materials is becoming more and more difficult.

If Shengxian Island is not really rich in resources, various extraordinary mineral veins can be seen everywhere, and Sister Feng's extremely complex and huge life replacement array would not be built in three to five years.

Chen Qi didn't plan to wander around according to those unreliable markings on the map.

He naturally has a trick to find and mine.

…

"Xiaobai, you are in for a treat today!"

"Try it. I saved all this for you by cutting corners when I was working."

"There are 79 kinds of extraordinary metals. These are not artificial ones."

"They are produced by Shengxian Island after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. They are truly pure and natural without pollution."

"Try it first. Which one tastes better? Then we will go dig it."

Chen Qi took out a bag of extraordinary metal powder with a painful look on his face. Dozens of extraordinary metals were mixed together, emitting gorgeous and eye-catching colors, which looked very beautiful.

Xiaobai took the bag of powder in his hand and took a look.

The next moment, he sucked the metal powder casually, and the latter immediately turned into a gorgeous rainbow and sank into the body of Steel Warrior.

"Hey, it turns out that he didn't eat all of it. Steelman also absorbed a little bit?"

"19 kinds. Steelman absorbed 19 trace amounts of extraordinary metal elements."

Chen Qi originally planned to let Xiaobai eat these extraordinary metals to generate special induction to find mineral veins.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

...

After Chen Qi was promoted to a superhuman, he spent a lot of time studying Steelman.

Especially after he became more and more stupid and couldn't play this toy, Chen Qi put his mind on cracking its material.

Unfortunately, Steelman is indeed a product from the Sky Empire. Even if it is just a special toy, Chen Qi has never seen the material used.

It is extremely tough and its strength is amazing, but it is not an extraordinary metal.

At least Chen Qi did not sense the extraordinary characteristics in Steelman's 3600 gears.

But the scene that just happened proved that Chen Qi had completely misjudged it before.

Steelman can actually swallow extraordinary metal elements. How can its material be ordinary metal?

As for what it is, Chen Qi doesn't know.

Even though Chen Qi had learned the basics of alchemy, he still didn't get the answer from it.

…

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Perhaps because he ate something delicious, Xiaobai finally uttered the first complete human language syllable.

At that moment, Chen Qi felt that his previous efforts were not in vain.

It's good to know how to eat, so that you can have the motivation to work hard.

Sure enough, as if sensing something, a series of electric sparks flashed on the body of the Steel Warrior, and then he grabbed the ground under his feet.

The next moment, countless firefly-like light spots floated out of the ground and were swallowed by the Steel Warrior.

"Oh my god, it turns out that there is extraordinary metal under my feet."

"This Shengxian Island is really full of treasures!"

Xiaobai's operation made Chen Qi stunned. Is it so easy to find and mine?

Thinking about the old students who were covered in dust every day, Chen Qi felt that he had to be more low-key.

…

After swallowing the extraordinary metal here, Xiaobai was obviously not satisfied.

The next moment, electric sparks flashed, and Steel Warrior floated in the air and flew away.

Obviously, this was Xiaobai sensing other extraordinary metals.

Sure enough, three minutes later, Xiaobai stopped over a mound.

The next action was exactly the same as before. Steel Warrior grabbed the ground below with both hands, and the extraordinary metals buried deep in the ground flew out like startled fireflies.

The amount of extraordinary metals in this wave was hundreds of times that of the previous one.

It took Xiaobai 5 minutes to eat up more than 100,000 fireflies.

If converted into weight, the extraordinary metals mined in this wave must be at least hundreds of kilograms.

"Okay, eat more!"

"Don't worry, let's eat enough today!"

Chen Qi originally planned to conduct his own nuclear iron experiment after mining enough extraordinary metals.

But now, Xiaobai's eating is the most important thing.

...

In this way, Xiaobai flew and ate all the way, and was very happy.

But no matter how much extraordinary metal Xiaobai ate, Steel Warrior's body shape did not change at all.

If the only thing that changed was probably the compatibility between Xiaobai and Steel Warrior.

When Xiaobai used his own ability at first, Steel Warrior would flash electric sparks.

Now, everything is natural, and there is no energy leakage.

"Awesome, really awesome!"

"With Xiaobai, I will never lack various extraordinary metals in the future."

"The only regret is that Xiaobai can only find and extract them after eating specific extraordinary metals first."

"Although it seems that he ate a lot along the way, there are still only those 79 kinds."

"But no matter what, I didn't lose this wave!"

Xiaobai flew deeper and deeper into the dense forest, and Chen Qi didn't know where he was now after going around in circles.

Fortunately, the signal between him and the Sea Kite was not interrupted, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to return home.

Xiaobai's feast lasted for three hours. Although the Steel Warrior seemed to have not changed at all, it had already swallowed 49 extraordinary metal elements.

As for Xiaobai, its size has indeed grown, from the thickness of chopsticks to the thickness of a thumb.

As for the weight, it has not increased much.

What Xiaobai called eating was not the kind of eating of ordinary life, but a kind of material replacement.

Until today, Chen Qi found that he didn't know the source ore as well as he thought.

What Xiaobai called eating was simply an extremely exquisite alchemical reaction.

Chen Qi watched with wide eyes all the way, which really opened his eyes.

After this wave of learning, his alchemy was sublimated again.

Some of the ideas and inspirations in his mind before finally turned into spells.

...

"Clang, clang!"

It seemed that he had eaten to the limit. The Steel Warrior, who was originally flying in the sky, fell in front of Chen Qi again and ran around in circles.

"Can't eat anymore?"

"You can't sleep!"

"Exercise more after a meal, it helps digestion."

"This Shengxian Island is our blessed land. We finally came here, so we must bring more local specialties."

"Fill this ring and we can go home!"

Chen Qi shook the Tirado Ancient Ring in his hand. As Chen Qi's spiritual frequency increased, the internal space of this space treasure increased a lot.

Now there are only a few items in it, which is too shabby. We must put more things in it.

So Xiaobai started a new round of work.

This time, it clenched its hands, and the colorful fireflies flying out of the earth turned into pieces of extraordinary metal.

Chen Qi put it into the space ring with a smile on his face.

It's rich, it's rich!

The living expenses in the Tianwu Spell Academy in the future are finally available.

In this way, Chen Qi was very happy as he searched all the way.

It's a pity that there are always "bad guys" who can't bear to see others happy. Chen Qi's space ring was just half filled when trouble came.

...

"Boom!"

A red energy beam suddenly attacked. This beam was so huge and swift that it directly enveloped Xiaobai and Chen Qi who were mining.

After the red light, a magma cave with a diameter of tens of meters appeared on the ground.

The figures of Chen Qi and Xiaobai slowly floated above the cave, unscathed.

"Incredible, really incredible!"

"Xiaobai, you really have grown up."

At the moment the attack came, Chen Qi planned to take Xiaobai to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai reacted faster than him.

Chen Qi only felt that the gravity of the surrounding space changed for a moment, and then the terrifying energy beam was deflected.

The attack passed by Chen Qi, which seemed very dangerous, but there seemed to be a world of difference between the two.

"Has it affected the space?"

"This must not only be Xiaobai's power, it must be related to Steelman."

Unfortunately, Xiaobai's performance seemed to be short-lived. The next moment, it exhausted all its energy and died.

If Chen Qi hadn't held it in his hand, it would have fallen directly into the lava cave.

...

"Orc?"

Chen Qi looked in the direction of the attack, and a giant snake with centipede legs appeared in his sight.

Chen Qi sensed the powerful breath of bronze blood from this guy.

The orcs in the second ring area are indeed much stronger than those in the outer ring area.

"Just in time!"

"I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable life form to refine nuclear iron!"

By helping Caroline, Chen Qi learned a lot about life alchemy.

One of them is the taboo of refining nuclear iron.

...

"You must have awe for life and never regard life as pure material."

According to Caroline, every individual life is independent and loved by heaven and earth.

Refining nuclear iron by destroying life on a large scale will sooner or later be retaliated by heaven and earth.

Because refining nuclear iron is not just destroying life, but extracting the basic matrix that constitutes life. This is an extremely selfish and evil act.

All things are born and die, the strong prey on the weak, and destroying other organisms for their own survival is in line with the way of nature.

But if you rob other beings of their survival essence in order to satisfy your own selfish desires, this is against the will of heaven.

In the beginning, there was no such taboo in alchemy.

But as time went by, the consequences quickly became apparent.

Those [Creators] who destroyed billions of living things at every turn and refined powerful nuclear iron all encountered bad luck in their later years.

In the end, after research by the alchemists, it was discovered that their wanton destruction of life and the refining of nuclear iron violated a taboo that existed in the world.

Some people call it the mother of nature, others call it the wrath of nature, and some ancient civilizations define it as the "original sin of intelligent life".

Anyway, since then, alchemists have had the constraint of respecting life.

This is especially true for alchemists who practice life alchemy.

Some schools of life alchemy even require practitioners to take spiritual vows as a form of self-restraint.

…

After learning about this taboo, Chen Qi reflected on himself.

Then he felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

Because before he refined nuclear iron, he always used it on himself.

Saints are nothing more than this.

His only move to destroy lives on a large scale was to use a fully automatic weed killer to make Baicao pills.

But Baicao Pill only involves vitality and does not touch the essence of life, so there should be no problem.

If this kind of behavior is really a big trouble, then the fully automatic weed killer will not be manufactured as a civilian product.

In fact, Chen Qi has always felt that refining nuclear iron is a bit too evil.

Therefore, he deeply believed in Senior Sister Caroline's warning.

If you can't mass exterminate ordinary life to refine nuclear iron, then just pick something bigger.

Senior sister, that's what they do.

Chen Qi came out this time with the intention of finding a powerful life form to practice with.

An orc with extraordinary bloodline was automatically delivered to the door, which was perfect.

…

"Spell: Iron Hand!"

Just being beaten without fighting back is not at all in line with Chen Qi's style.

He had just mastered a spell and was now practicing it.

Chen Qi made a false grab with his left hand, and in the next moment, a giant hand that covered the sky and sun was projected into the sky above the big snake.

Without any resistance, the big snake was grabbed by the giant hand.

And at the moment when the palms were closed, densely packed mantras appeared on the five huge psychic fingers.

As the palms closed, the spell was imprinted on the snake's body.

"Ah, evil humans!"

The flames were blazing, the red light was flashing, and Chen Qi's extended energy palm seemed to be able to melt everything.

When the psychic palm dissipated, a pea-sized nuclear iron appeared in the palm of Chen Qi's left hand.

There are patterns all over the core iron, but this is a kind of seal derived from the alchemist.

It's just that it is not applied to the surface of the nuclear iron, but is integrated into it during the refining of the nuclear iron, turning it into a natural pattern.

In the ancient cultivation era, it was called the ban or treasure ban.

It is precisely because of the existence of these lines that nuclear iron can exist stably and will not be assimilated into a material field or a life magnetic field.

When used, the nuclear iron can also be flexibly converted into a material field or a life magnetic field through these lines.

…

"As early as in the Blue Taro Kingdom, I realized that if you want to refine nuclear iron, you must combine the four phenomena of spiritual annihilation, life magnetic field collapse, will destruction, and genetic material disintegration at the moment of death. ”

"And at its root, it is nothing more than collecting the power generated when life dies and reshaping the matrix of life."

"It's a pity that after reshaping, all that's left is some matrix, but the life itself has disappeared."

"At that time, I was unable to perfectly capture the four phenomena and perform smelting, but it was because of the lack of spiritual intervention."

"Under normal circumstances, when life dies, those four phenomena occur one after another, and it is impossible to achieve a perfect combination."

"But the alchemists introduced spiritual energy and used extremely sophisticated techniques to interfere with the four phenomena and force them to synchronize."

"I have to say that Senior Sister Caroline takes good care of me. The alchemy formula she used when refining it was not hidden from me at all. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for me to figure it out on my own."

"If I can refine nuclear iron, I can now be considered a qualified alchemist."

"Of course, I'm still a little behind in the accumulation of alchemical knowledge."

Chen Qi looked at the nuclear iron in his hand and was very satisfied.

It's getting late, the mission of this trip has been completed, and it's time to go home.

However, I don't know if it was because the movement just now was too loud. When Chen Qi was about to evacuate, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

…

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"tasty!"

This is a huge black mushroom that is a hundred meters high.

The strange thing is that it turned into a human form, not only has human facial features and limbs, but can also speak human language.

The moment the mushroom man appeared, he grabbed Chen Qi.

Poor Chen Qi showed no resistance and was directly grabbed by the giant mushroom man and stuffed into his stomach.

The next moment, a terrifying explosion sounded, and the black mushroom man turned into black smoke.

But what was extremely strange was that the black smoke spread everywhere by the shock wave was actually swallowed up by the surrounding trees.

To be more precise, it was the black smoke that penetrated the trees.

The next moment, the huge mushroom man appeared out of thin air again.

But this time, it seemed to be afraid of Chen Qi and hesitated to launch an attack.

…

"Is this thing the monster that the seniors encountered when they captured Cao Huandan before?"

"That weird way of disappearing and moving is Wood Release, right?"

"Weave the life magnetic field of the surrounding trees into a net, and then move in it."

"Not bad, very good, can I say that I learned it after just one look?"

When he was attacked just now, Chen Qi turned a plant beside him into himself, placed a psychic bomb casually, and then ran away.

I didn't expect that the mushroom man was so stupid that he was eaten.

It's a pity that this guy's existence is a bit weird, and he didn't blow him to death.

Chen Qi looked at the mushroom man with interest for a few times, and he guessed why the other party would target him.

It's nothing more than Chen Qi has too many special psychic powers related to life.

Maybe in the eyes of these monsters, Chen Qi at this moment is more tonic than Cao Huandan.

"Curse·Wood Release!"

With a flash of spiritual light, Chen Qi also transformed his own form and forcibly invaded the huge network woven by the life magnetic field of the surrounding plants and trees.

The mushroom man saw this scene and showed an incredible look on his face.

The next moment, Chen Qi appeared in front of him, and his right hand emitting spiritual light quickly grabbed him.

"Curse·Alchemical Bomb!"

Any life that is touched by Chen Qi's right hand will be forcibly transformed into a psychic bomb by Chen Qi.

Of course, due to the resistance of the life form itself, it is difficult to transform its entire body unless the strength is very different.

But the part touched by Chen Qi's right hand is absolutely impossible to be exempted. This is the domineering part of this spell!

This is a new spell created by Chen Qi combining alchemy and psychic bombs.
