C17 Acute Metal Qi

On the way back, surprisingly neither of them spoke. However, Lin Xuan would occasionally turn her head and glance at Ouyang Yuye, making him feel uncomfortable. Finally, after no results were asked, He chose silence. He was silent like this, and Lin Xuan was unusually quiet as well. No one knew what she was thinking about, but only Monkey remained as usual. He jumped up and down on Ouyang Yuye's body. He was extremely happy.

Once he entered the house, he hurriedly greeted Lin Xuan and ran back to his room. He locked the doors and windows. When he found no one was following him, he was relieved and looked at the monkey on his shoulder.

"Help me watch. Don't let anyone get close. Inform me as soon as someone gets close."

Monkey nodded and jumped down from his shoulder. He sat on the cushion on the ground and scratched his head absentmindedly. With Monkey's help, he felt much more at ease.

He sat cross-legged on another hassock and took out the Hundred-herb Vine, Emerald Leaf Green, and Blue Spirit Fruit from his Qiankun bag. He looked at the materials in front of him with a fiery gaze. Now that the main ingredients for refining the crystal were all prepared, he only needed to find a suitable magic beast crystal core.

When choosing the magic beast crystal core, he also needed to choose the most suitable ones. The magic beast crystal core needed to be one grade higher than the one he needed to produce the crystal. In other words, to create a tier 1 crystal core, one needed to use at least a tier 2 magic beast crystal core. This way, the success rate could be guaranteed while also maximizing the effect.

A soul beast's first grade was equivalent to a human's Body Tempering Stage. It would not condense a crystal core with attributes. Only when it reached the second grade would it activate its own attribute, just like a soul master. Only when one reached the Soul Practitioner realm could one condense a soul core and awaken the innate attributes. This was one of the reasons why soul beasts' cultivation methods were similar to humans'.

Flipping through the Cosmos Sack, he happened to have two demon beast cores that he could use to refine. One was the Arrow Tooth Tiger's Class 2 fire type monster core, and the other was the bear's Class 3 earth type monster core. It could be used to refine. No matter what level the monster core was, it could be refined according to the wishes of the user. A Class 2 Magic Beast Crystal Core could be used to produce 10 Class 1 Crystals of this attribute. Similarly, a Class 3 Magic Beast Crystal could be used to produce 20 Class 1 Crystals or 10 Class 2 Crystals. However, this was merely an ideal state. During the refining process, During the refining process, there were many situations where a Magical Beast Crystal Core couldn't produce even a single crystal.

Ouyang Yuye took out some fire sand and earth stones as well. These two types of earth and fire crystal cores needed to be used, so he took some as well.

Looking at the packed materials, he rubbed his hands. Suppressing his excitement, he pulled the brazier over from the side. Suddenly, he felt a little ashamed. It was written in the summary. The refining of crystals and pills required a certain amount of tools, such as the alchemist's tempering furnace, because they needed to quench the medicinal liquid. The furnace of an alchemist, but because there was no place to sell it in Flashing Gold Town, So they could only make do with a brazier.

The first step was to refine the ingredients into liquid. Only liquid could better condense and fuse with each other. The Blue Spirit Fruit, Hundred-herb Vine... Following the steps, the Blue Spirit Fruit was wrapped with soul power and carefully roasted with flames. A crackling sound came from the burning flame. The Blue Spirit Fruit was withering and softening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ouyang Yuye didn't dare show any neglect. He carefully controlled his soul power to wrap the herb up, not daring to let it show any cracks. With the softness of the herb, it would instantly turn into ashes if it came into contact with the fire source. There were only two sets of medicinal herbs, so he had no choice but to be careful.

The refinement was meticulous and patient, so he continuously controlled his soul force to flip over the Blue Spirit Fruit, not daring to relax in the slightest. Under his circulation, the soul force whirlpool beside his dantian also rapidly rotated, automatically absorbing the soul force in the air to maintain the consumption of soul force.

Ouyang Yuye was like an old monk sitting still, staring intently at the continuously calcining medicinal ingredients. Every once in a while, he would flip over the medicinal liquid and continue to condense it. He sat there for four hours.

The Blue Spirit Fruit was also repeatedly condensed into a ball of medicinal liquid the size of a baby's fist. The medicinal liquid was greenish-gray. Wrapped by soul force, it rolled around. A rich medicinal fragrance instantly suffused the air. It filled the entire room. Ouyang Yuye looked at the floating medicinal liquid in front of him and smacked his lips. He happily used the jade bottle to store the medicinal liquid and picked up the Emerald Grass.

Unlike the Blue Spirit Fruit, the Emerald Grass was much softer than the Blue Spirit Fruit. Hence, because his hand could not withstand such high temperature, half of it was directly burned. Ouyang Yuye sighed in frustration. He could only use the remaining half to refine it. This way, he could only temporarily choose one of the fire and earth elements to refine.

This time, he was much smarter. He suddenly released his soul power. It wrapped the green leaves like a dumpling, and this time it wasn't burned by the flames. However, due to the density of his soulforce, there wasn't any reaction for a long time. Ouyang Yuye carefully removed his soul power bit by bit, not daring to be careless at all. Finally, after trying many times, he determined a balance point. He let out a breath. The following process was the same. Ouyang Yuye did the same thing. After the refinement of the Blue Spirit Fruit, the Jade Leaf Green that followed was much more familiar with the refinement of medicinal Hundred-herb Vines.

Ouyang Yuye looked at the three jade bottles placed in front of him and revealed a joyful expression. Finally, he was not in a hurry for nothing. After a few hours of refinement, Finally, he had finished refining the ingredients. He stretched lazily. He sat up cross-legged. After several hours of refining the soul force within his body, he had already used up most of it. The calcination of the crystal core and the final condensation. Both required more soul energy, so he had to make the best use of his time. He needed to recover as soon as possible.

It had to be said that under this kind of training, the soul force within their bodies recovered a bit faster than before.

An hour later, Ouyang Yuye opened his eyes and felt the resurgence of soul force in his body. After thinking for a while, he considered the lack of offensive martial arts, so he chose the Arrow Tooth Tiger's Tier 2 fire type Monster Core.

The Fire Element's attack power was definitely at the top among the many attributes. This was also the reason why he chose the Fire Element Monster Core. In his opinion, forcefully attacking was more effective than deliberately defending.

Because of the difference in texture, the crystal core of the magic beast was much harder and harder to calcine. This time, Ouyang Yuye only used his soul power to wrap a thin layer of the crystal core and threw it into the brazier. The moment the crystal core entered, the fire swallowed it. Considering that the time this time would not be short, Ouyang Yuye decided to close his eyes and cultivate.

Under his deliberate urging, the soul power whirlpool began to shake even more violently and absorbed all the soul power in the air. Soon, he discovered that something was not right. He felt that other than the soul power in the air, there was also a trace of weak energy being injected into it. The source of this energy was surprisingly the calcined crystal core that was transmitted through soul power.

This energy did not enter the soul force vortex together with the soul force. Instead, it slowly gathered on the left side of his Dantian, forming a dark golden spherical light spot. The light spot continued to rotate and condense. Golden rays of light continuously came from outside his body, wrapping around it and continuously strengthening the light spot.

Under this kind of condensation, along with the continuous melting of the Magical Beast Crystal Core, The dot of light also formed a ball of light the size of a thumb and looked at the whirlpool on the right. Although it was only the size of a thumb, the fluctuation on it was extremely strong. This was a completely different type of energy from soul power. It was different from the gentle aura of soul power. Its aura was a lot more violent and faintly had an extremely strong penetrating power.

"Acute Metal Qi!"

Ouyang Yuye immediately guessed its origin and was overjoyed. Acute Metal Qi could be said to be the symbol of an alchemist.

He had once seen the introduction of Acute Metal Qi in the abstract, so he coveted Acute Metal Qi.

Acute Metal Qi was also extremely rare, and there was no form of it in the air. Only by tempering the crystal core of a magic beast could one extract a trace of metal from it. After being refined, it could assimilate with the soul power in the body and be absorbed and stored. The Acute Metal Qi had a wide range of uses as well. It could increase one's attack power and increase the ability of the crystal. It could greatly increase the offensive and defensive abilities of crystals.

However, because Acute Metal Qi could not be replenished from the air, it could not be recovered either. Therefore, it could only be stored by refining crystals continuously. Therefore, the Acute Metal Qi was almost exclusively used by alchemists. Its penetrating power could easily penetrate water shields and earth shields. Therefore, it would be on guard against the Acute Metal Qi that would appear and disappear unpredictably when fighting alchemists. This made alchemists the most troublesome enemies.

When the metal energy in one's body reached saturation, it could be condensed into a crystal for others to absorb and refine. However, this was only limited to the large sects that had such enormous resources. Normally, even if they were sold, it would be a sky-high price!

A few hours later, the Monster Core was finally completed. A ball of red liquid appeared. Immediately, a hot aura rushed towards them.
