Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 47 Preparation, Missed Opportunity

The holiday is almost here, and Lin Nuo finally has some free time.

This time he's truly free, and he won't be back to being a beast of burden as soon as he's about to take a vacation. He's also honed his forging skills to a high level, and now he not only knows about the forging properties of silver, but also about the other eight metals.

Among them was extraterrestrial meteorite iron, which was made of the same material as Ji Juechen's sword. Although this kind of meteorite iron was rare in the Sun Moon Empire, it was not considered particularly precious due to its material.

In the world of Soul Masters, the price of a metal depends on its versatility and the level of Soul Tools it can be used to make. At most, it can only serve as the core array material for level three or four Soul Tools, and its Soul Power transmission effect is not very good.

Therefore, the price of this metal is unlikely to be very high; its scarcity is not the reason for its high price.

No one speculated on its price like they did on diamonds, which meant that the only problem Linno faced when forging this metal was finding it.

Meteorite is meteorite after all, not a rare metal like sunken silver that can be mined in large quantities from a vein.

However, Lin Nuo had to familiarize himself with the properties of this metal. He only had one sword, and he didn't have any extra chances to try and make mistakes.

This meant that when meteorite iron was in short supply, Linno had no choice but to forge other metals to broaden his forging knowledge and prepare for future fusion forging.

His practice of forging other metals also helps him understand metals, allowing him to be more flexible in changing forging methods when encountering unexpected situations during the forging process, and to forge the metals more perfectly.

It was precisely because of the extensive experience accumulated in forging the other seven rare metals that Lin Nuo was able to memorize the properties of meteorite iron even when it was scarce, and forge a finished piece of metal of grade two after a thousand forgings.

Not only him, but Xiao Hongchen also studied the forging methods of other metals during the time he was stuck at the bottleneck of the first grade.

However, Lao Xiao was clearly much stronger than him in this regard. Lin Nuo, along with the meteorite iron and the sunken silver, only knew the thousand-forging techniques for nine kinds of metals, while Xiao Hongchen had already mastered more than twenty kinds.

It's so scary.

Sometimes Lin Nuo thought about entrusting the task of forging Ji Juechen's sword to Lao Xiao, a rising star in the forging world, but the latter firmly refused.

"This shortcut might make it easier to reach the higher level of forging you envisioned, but I want to break through on my own! Just tell me how you feel after forging, and I'll give you this chance. I don't want it; taking shortcuts will only affect my synergy with the metal!"

That's what Xiao Hongchen said, but what he really thought is probably only known to himself.

Lin Nuo did not continue to refuse, but strongly insisted that the other party must watch him forge the work.

This time, Xiao Hongchen agreed.

We are now in the preparation stage, and we can notify Ji Juechen to come over at any time to attempt the first attempt at the First Grade Thousand Refinement.

But Lin Nuo wasn't planning to start so soon. He was waiting for Electrolux to awaken and for Electrolux to fuse with the Life Gold. With his immense life force, Lin Nuo would be more confident in completing the forging.

Moreover, he also hoped to gain some experience from Electrolux.

Necromancer God, Undead Catastrophe.

As a necromancer, the path of life is undoubtedly a perfect fit for Elex. Spiritual forging is essentially giving life to metal, which is not much different from Elex's ability to bring the dead back to life.

They all create a special kind of being. There are countless such beings in the undead demiplane of Elex.

If we were to say who had the best chance of helping Lin Nuo create the answer to the Dragon King Legend version ahead of time during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, it would be Electrolux, and only Electrolux.

"But... why hasn't Old Ilex woken up for so long?" In Lin Nuo's spiritual sea, the gray sphere that Ilex had transformed into hadn't moved an inch for almost a year.

Is it because it wasn't stimulated?

In the original novel, before encountering the Gold of Life, Electrolux awakened twice: once because of the intense hatred that welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart during his battle with Wu Feng, and the other time when he encountered the Evil Soul Master, the Messenger of Death.

Linno's daily hammering and metal-playing is clearly not enough to provoke Electrolux.

"If Old Yi still hasn't woken up by the end of the holiday, we'll have to resort to a more radical approach."

At that time, simply reach out and grasp the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, allowing the evil soul master's curse to come into direct contact with you. Compared to the unique vengeful spirit and curse aura of the evil soul master, it will surely be able to awaken the other party.

Now, Lin Nuo is agonizing over something else.

It has been almost a year since he intercepted Electrolux. Now that the holiday is approaching, it also means that Huo Yuhao is about to embark on a journey to the far north, where, with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he will acquire the Ice Emperor as his second martial soul.

Without a doubt, Lin Nuo also coveted Hyotei, but he could only covet it.

The Sun Moon Empire is indeed wealthy, but in terms of high-end combat power, it has no decent strongmen. At least before Lin Nuo helped Lao Jing complete his transformation, the strongest person in the Sun Moon Empire was Kong Deming.

Right now, the other party is most likely still engrossed in researching their own level 10 soul tool, or a future humanoid soul tool.

Lin Nuo wasn't familiar with the other party and couldn't possibly get their help.

Even if Lin Nuo could get Kong Deming's help, and Jing Hongchen joined forces, would it still be useful?
In the far north, with the home advantage, Ice Emperor alone could probably easily defeat Xuanzi. If Ice Emperor's entire clan were added, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen would have no choice but to flee if they were tied together, unless they used level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons to cover them with firepower.

Even using level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells was useless. That's the far north! The Snow Empress is still here, plus the Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King. What difference is there between them starting a war in the far north?
There is absolutely no possibility of them defeating Hyotei in direct combat.

What about verbal sparring?
Lin Nuo didn't think he could convince Hyotei with just his words.

The reason why the Ice Emperor agreed in the original story was entirely due to the circumstances. The imminent 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation was imprisoned by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and could not be resisted. The promising prospects shown by the God-Making Plan, coupled with the persuasion from the 'old acquaintance' Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, made them feel that the situation was too good to pass up.

It can be said that the right time, the right place, and the right people were all in place, but even so, Hyotei still hesitated for a long time.

If it were Lin Nuo with Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, three pure humans who are naturally hostile to soul beasts, Ice Emperor wouldn't even listen to their nonsense and would start a battle on the spot.

Therefore, after considering it for a long time, Lin Nuo still had no way to deal with Hyotei.

We could only miss it...
