421 Getting by Force or by Trickery (2/2)

※※※※

Returning to the 1st Courtyard A, Zong Shou tossed that earth qilin baby beast to Chuxue. That kid was so happy, she was about to go crazy,

Then she was filled with trepidation. Her young master had given her 2 of the most precious spiritual beasts to her, how would she be able to repay him in the future? Why did he treat her so well?

Zong Shou didn't bother about her thoughts, walking back into his own room. He first moved out that custom made grade 9 artifact smelting furnace and threw the hundreds of mine stone that Hanxi found from that metal swallowing beast corpse into it.

Then, he raised the fire. Although Zong Shou didn't know blacksmithing, he knew about the strength of the fire essence stone.

He carefully tossed in 2. When they were ablaze, 2 balls of flames caused the surrounding air to become blistering hot.

However, after a full hour past, those black silver pattern stones showed no signs of melting.

Zong Shou's brows furrowed, using true qi to wrap his hand to try to touch one of them within. When he did it felt extremely cold, no sign of temperature.

He tried adding in a few more fire essence stones to burn together. But when this grade 9 furnace was about to melt, these pieces of stone only just started to get hot.

Zong Shou was startled and entered deep thought.

”Unable to melt using fire essence stone, is it that thing? Even xuan grade spiritual ingredients should be able to be melted. The toughness of this thing and ability to take the heat, is it that thing? But these 2 things shouldn't be in the same place…”

Spirit items of heaven and earth were split into 4 grades, heaven, earth, xuan, and huang. The spiritual metals of the xuan grade were able to be made into magical treasure level weapons! In the cloud world, ten thousand years ago, when the spiritual wave was low, it was quite rare.

He was sure that this type of black metal mine stone was considered rare even amongst the xuan grade. It was also that rarely seen weapon crafting spiritual material in his memory.

Thinking for a moment, Zong Shou took out several pill bottles, pouring the items within all into the furnace.

They were all the blood taken from those grade 7 firebirds. There were many who had god beast bloodlines which Zong Shou collected. He was originally planning to use it for other purposes.

But at this moment, he poured them all in with no care at all.

A moment later those black colored mine stones started to melt. Not long later they turned into a furnace of boiling magma.

Zong Shou was startled, following which he took in a deep breath. Is this the legendary heaven gold blood silver. How did such a thing merge with these black crystal iron?

In the next moment, he saw silver-white colored threads sucked out by Hanxi from the magma.

First, it wrapped around it, following which it started to merge into Hanxi's layer of silver armor.

Each thread that entered would cause the color of the armor to become thicker and have more mysterious patterns. It caused the shell which looked like the heavy armor of humans to become more shining and eye-catching.

What was shocking was that the 2 pairs of knife arms grew a little longer, the knife tip became even tougher. Some teeth grew on the back of the knife which made one feel terrified.

Zong Shou's eyes were filled with a clear understanding. The demon fire crystal ants swallowed everything. Legend had it that they relied on the mine stones and mind stones underground to raise their strength and level as well as the hardness of their armor.

Such a natural ability must have been inherited by Hanxi, only the method was slightly different and it was pickier. For example, that black crystal iron which was extremely precious to blacksmiths was like garbage in Hanxi's eyes.

The heaven metal blood silver should be the 1st thing it chose to strengthen its body with.

Zong Shou's gaze slowly turned weird. This small little thing was born from killing and violence, the 1st thing it chose to strengthen itself was such an unusual thing.

This heaven metal blood silver was even rarer than black crystal iron. It grew from other spiritual metals and after people discovered it, there were many vicious legends.

It needed a lot of god beast blood to be able to craft with it. Once made into a weapon, most probably it would kill numerous people. As time goes on it would become a murder weapon.

It was especially useful to the descendants of the god beasts. Even god beasts at the saint realm would be countered by it.

It was extremely sharp, after the first time it was melted it needed 10 times the heat to be able to melt it once more. It could even absorb a portion of the special quality of the god beast blood which was why it was listed as one of the hundred most special metals in the world.

This was what he read up in books in the future. As for what its exact case was he didn't know.

Hanxi's body wasn't large and have absorbing for close to 8 minutes it was satisfied as it circled above the magma.

Following this, it looked at Zong Shou and sent an intent over.

Zong Shou understood as he opened the spirit beast bag, allowing the 6 eight winged flying ants to fly out from within.

Those flying ants were just grade 6. They didn't dare to charge directly into the furnace like Hanxi, just suspending outside, allowing Hanxi to help them to merge the remaining silver-colored threads into their shells.
