Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 108 I Heard the Call
Upon receiving news of a suspected 100,000-year-old soul beast, Jing Hongchen immediately went to the workshop and found Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen, who were researching forging techniques.

The two are currently engaged in a heated discussion about forging techniques, asking each other questions and trying to further increase the success rate of first-grade thousand-fold forging through the combination of armor.

During this process, Xiao Hongchen even managed to create a piece of metal that surpassed the first grade of a thousand-times-forged metal. Its spiritual radiance reached six feet, making it a holy grade of a thousand-times-forged metal, reaching the pinnacle of a thousand-times-forged metal.

According to the classification of secondary professions ten thousand years later, Xiao Hongchen has already reached the threshold of a level five master forging expert.

The difference between spirit forging and thousand-forging is that the former requires infusing life into the metal during the forging process, so that the spiritual light of the thousand-forged metal can truly form a spirituality, giving the metal a rudimentary concept of 'life'. This is why thousand-forging has a spirit and ten-thousand-forging has a life.

The most troublesome part of spirit forging is the process of infusing life into the metal.

In terms of affinity for metal, ten Lin Nuo tied together are no match for Xiao Hongchen, but when it comes to controlling life, Xiao Hongchen can't even get a whiff of Lin Nuo's exhaust fumes.

If the previous piece of sacred-grade thousand-refined metal had been forged by Lin Nuo, he might have even had the opportunity to transform it into true spirit-refined metal by infusing it with a large amount of life force.

However, Xiao Hongchen clearly did not have much of an advantage in this regard, which is why he missed the opportunity.

The two engaged in a verbal exchange on this topic, unable to convince each other on the subject of 'how to infuse life and how to resonate with metal using martial spirit'.

Because of Xue Di's previous lack of understanding, Lin Nuo firmly believed that when dealing with metal, which was like a stinking rock in a latrine, one should try to achieve a miracle by exerting great effort and directly using life force to mold it into a cream puff, and it would naturally transform into the shape of spirit forging.

Xiao Hongchen thought Lin Nuo was incredibly narrow-minded and completely illogical. He believed that metal should be treated with the same patience one would have with a core magic array, gradually sensing its thoughts and desires, just like nurturing a sapling, so that it could grow into a towering tree.

Lin Nuo thought Xiao Hongchen was too nagging, while Xiao Hongchen thought Lin Nuo was too vulgar.

When Jing Hongchen entered the studio, he thought the two of them were about to fight, and they were practically spitting all over each other's faces.

However, this kind of thing is not unusual in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Not to mention Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen, Jing Hongchen himself had experienced a lot when he was young.

Technological development is always accompanied by research and discussion. It is impossible to make progress by working behind closed doors. Therefore, communication and exchange with others have become commonplace. Not to mention the distant past, just regarding the improvement of the Battle Armor Matrix, he had quite a few heated arguments with Ye Yulin recently.

It's the same situation where neither side can persuade the other.

Upon hearing the news from Jing Hongchen that Blue Silver Valley had been found, Lin Nuo stopped arguing with Xiao Hongchen, giving him a disdainful look and raising his middle finger: "You humorous rascal, wait until I get my soul ring back, then I'll show you what real spirit forging is!"

"Ha, young!" Xiao Hongchen sneered. "Fine, I'll wait for you to come back and see who forges spirit-forged metal first! I don't believe your crude forging method, like that of an uncivilized monkey, can forge spirit-forged metal before me!"

"No one understands metals better than me!"

……

"You really don't want me to come with you?" Jing Hongchen asked Lin Nuo after handing him a map marked with the location of Blue Silver Valley.

Lin Nuo took the map and examined it for a while, then looked up at Jing Hongchen and grinned: "Grandpa Jing, don't worry, I can handle it myself. Even the Snow Empress has become my martial soul. A 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass is just a piece of cake!"

“Besides, Grandpa Jing, you can’t go out every few days. Mingde Hall still needs you to oversee things. Leave the soul ring matter to me.” “Alright, then be careful.” Jing Hongchen nodded and didn’t try to persuade him any further. Although Arno was a bit stubborn, he had never caused any major trouble for him. “If things are not going to work out, remember not to force it. There’s nothing shameful about coming back for help. If you can’t handle it, come back to us. Lao Ye and I will make time to help you.”

"Understood, Grandpa Mirror, I will." Lin Nuo put away the map and turned to leave.

He first took a shower, then prepared various foods and consumables for his soul tool, said goodbye to Xiao Meng, and then left Mingdu. He took off on the spot using the level-eight flying soul tool that Jing Hongchen had given him and flew towards Haiyue City.

Lin Nuo wanted to test his combat power, and this opportunity to acquire a spirit ring was undoubtedly a good one.

A soul beast like the Blue Silver Emperor, with its powerful vitality but lack of offensive capabilities and posing virtually no threat to him, is undoubtedly the most suitable training partner for him. He wouldn't be afraid of it in a real fight.

Moreover, even if Jing Hongchen were to come, it would be difficult to achieve any results against such an extremely difficult monster to kill. In the end, Lin Nuo would still have to take action himself, so it would be better not to bother Jing Hongchen in the first place.

Even before Huo Yuhao reached the seventh ring, he was able to single-handedly kill a 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant to obtain a soul ring. How could Lin Nuo be any worse?

This battle must be won!

Level 8 flying soul tools are very fast, especially since this particular level 8 soul tool was made by Jing Hongchen. It is faster than most flying soul tools of the same level, and its energy consumption is about the same, or even less.

In any case, it's definitely superior to Shrek Academy's level-eight flying soul tool in every aspect.

Xuanzi, a level 98 Super Douluo, uses items that are inferior to those of a Soul Emperor.

Soaring two thousand meters above the ground, Lin Nuo flew in all sorts of fancy ways like a bird at play, imagining himself piloting a fighter jet, sometimes performing the Cobra maneuver, sometimes spiraling, and occasionally even diving into the clouds to eat a couple of bites of tasteless cotton candy.

Soaring in the azure sky, Lin Nuo seemed to have forgotten all his memories, leaving only heartfelt joy. He crashed into cloud after cloud, watching the earth beneath his feet being left behind.

Break free from all constraints and embrace this vast world.

With his mind at ease, Lin Nuo seemed to be looking at the world that belonged to the Douluo Continent before him, or as if he were standing at the top of the World Tree, looking down on his own world of living beings.

He was a little confused.

Which one truly represents the world?

At this moment, the inner world and the outer world seemed to have established a channel of communication. The incomplete world of living beings also seemed to have gained something, something mysterious and profound, which could not be seen with the naked eye or described with language, but was the most important component existing in every world.

Lin Nuo's eyes gradually became unfocused, and he stopped flying.

He didn't even activate the flying soul tool again, yet his body remained steadily in mid-air.

“Calling…I heard the call.”
