Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 55 The Real Half-Finished Product
I don’t know, I’m scared.

Lin Nuo began fusing with the Life Gold on the second day of the holiday, but when he looked at the date displayed on his soul tool, half a month had already passed.

He seemed to be in deep meditation, unaware of the passage of time.

Perhaps it was the sheer awe of Electrolux's use of the Life Gold to create the nascent world that completely captivated Linno, causing him to lose all awareness of the passage of time.

As for Xiao Hongchen's battle armor, it was forged a week before the holiday began.

As Lin Nuo suggested, the wearer of the battle armor should ideally be present during the creation of a genuine battle armor, and should also participate in part of the creation process.

Fortunately, Xiao Hongchen himself was a blacksmith. When Jing Hongchen was making the battle armor, he could assist him by forging the thousand-refined metal into suitable battle armor parts.

During this process, the newly created battle armor will be highly compatible with his martial soul, and the auras will merge, making it the most suitable battle armor for him.

In this era of battle armor development, the unfinished battle armor they are currently producing is not like what will happen ten thousand years later, where a single battle armor can only be used by one person, and the battle armor will also disappear when the holder of the battle armor perishes.

However, even a semi-finished battle armor still has a compatibility factor. After all, it has already been made of thousand-refined metal and has begun to possess spirituality. It will spontaneously merge with the soul master whose aura is closest to it.

Others aren't saying it can't be used either.

But it's like suddenly leaving your familiar environment to work or travel in a new city. Everything around you is unfamiliar, unlike when you're at home where you can almost find your way with your eyes closed.

The amplification of the battle armor to unfamiliar soul masters is the same, but the smoothness is different. Those who are closest to its aura can use the battle armor to amplify themselves for half an hour, but if it is a different soul master, they may only be able to burst the amplification for three to five minutes.

In other words, the conversion rate is poor.

This result has undergone clear testing after Xiao Hongchen's battle armor was created.

As for the test subjects, they were naturally Lao Xiao and Xiao Meng.

Xiao Hongchen wore a full set of Thousand-Refined Grade 2 Battle Armor that he had crafted himself. His soul power could be amplified from Soul King to the peak of Soul Emperor and maintained for half an hour. However, if he lent this set of Battle Armor to Meng Hongchen, the latter could only maintain it for about eight minutes before exhausting his soul power.

This is because they are siblings, and their auras are similar to each other to some extent.

If we replace it with another person, the duration will only be shorter.

"You were right after all. Battle armor is a soul tool worn by a martial soul. Only when it is compatible with the martial soul can it unleash its maximum power!" Xiao Hongchen put his arm around Lin Nuo's shoulder and said excitedly.

However, Lin Nuo was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing about Xiao Hongchen and the others' experimental results.

The consumption is too great.

Perhaps because the magic array's updates and iterations are still relatively primitive, the amplification is indeed high enough. The initial half-finished battle armor was already extremely powerful enough to amplify a Soul King into a peak Soul Emperor, but the duration was only half an hour. If this were ten thousand years later, it would undoubtedly be a three-second wonder.

But what could he do? Magic arrays can only be optimized and improved by generations of people; you can't get fat overnight.

Besides the magic array issue, the materials also had significant problems.

The second-grade, thousand-refined metal is still too poor; it barely meets the minimum requirement for crafting battle armor. If it were replaced with first-grade or top-grade thousand-refined metal, not only would the consumption be greatly reduced, but the enhancement would also allow the Soul King to truly advance to the Soul Saint level, instead of being stuck at the peak of the Soul Emperor realm as he is now.

But don't worry, kids, the Thousand Refinements of Grade One has been developed, we're saved!

Lin Nuo chuckled, took out the Thousand-Refined First-Grade Sinking Silver with the special effect of life, and placed it in front of Xiao Hongchen, instantly attracting his attention.

"This...this...you succeeded?" Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Chen Yin with intense intensity.

Since being drawn into the world of forging by Lin Nuo, Xiao Hongchen's enthusiasm for forging has even surpassed his enthusiasm for soul tools. Although battle armor is no different from soul tools in a sense, Xiao Hongchen has indeed put aside his study of soul tools for a long time.

He spends every day in the studio forging metal.

It wasn't just Lin Nuo who was developing the Thousand Refinements Grade One; Xiao Hongchen was also racking his brains trying to figure out how to enhance the spirituality of the metal.

"That's right, it was a success. Although it was just a coincidence, I have opened the door to the first grade of the Thousand Refinements and can now look forward to the next level of forging!" Lin Nuo said with a smile.

"What's different about 'thousand-times forged, first-grade' metal? Why couldn't we make the metal more spiritual before?" Xiao Hongchen humbly asked for guidance.

Lin Nuo weighed the heavy silver in his hand and said, "It's simple, because we were too eager for quick success."

"Being too hasty and anxious will prevent you from communicating more deeply with the metal. Sometimes, a calm mind makes it easier to discover truths that you might have missed unintentionally. Of course, besides mindset, you also need a few small tricks to achieve the highest grade of a thousand-forged metal."

Damn it, I was hoping to find my way across the river by feeling my way along, but instead I ended up feeling my way across the river by feeling my way along myself.

It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

Although that was what she thought, Lin Nuo still told him everything she had learned during the process of refining, without hiding anything from him.

“Once you complete the Thousand Refinements to Grade One, you can try to use your own blood to perform a blood sacrifice on it. The first time you complete the Thousand Refinements to Grade One, there is a high probability that the metal will gain an additional top-grade special effect after the blood sacrifice, just like this piece of mine.” Lin Nuo raised the heavy silver in his hand.

"Its special effect is life. The effect is that during the forging process, I can use my own life force to inject into the metal through the forging hammer, making the metal more likely to be born with spirituality."

Lin Nuo didn't know what to say about this special effect; it was simply made for him and Xiao Hongchen, pioneers in forging.

Everything about forging is still in the exploratory stage, but having a hammer with life-giving effects will undoubtedly make it easier for them to explore more profound paths in forging.

"I see." Xiao Hongchen nodded thoughtfully, losing interest in continuing to show off in his battle armor. He disassembled the pieces of his battle armor one by one and put them into his soul tool before rushing to the workshop.

He also wanted to break through to the first rank of the Thousand Refinements as soon as possible.

Watching Xiao Hongchen's hurried departure, Lin Nuo shook his head helplessly.

It took nearly half a month to fuse the gold of life. As soon as he woke up, Xiao Hongchen called him to the experimental area. He didn't even have time to take a shower. Even though he didn't have any strange smell, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
