Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 186 Crystal of Life
Titan Flame Ape, which means it is a soul beast. Lin Xiuran had never expected that the one responsible for forging it was a ferocious beast with at least 200,000 years of cultivation.

"Don't be surprised. Uncle Xi's forging skills are no worse than any forger in human society. After all, Uncle Xi has been engaged in forging for nearly a thousand years."

Xi Xiong, a burly-looking man, did not have an overly arrogant attitude, but was rather gentle.

He looked at Lin Xiuran and Yuan En Yehui, and then said: "I already know the requirements of the main hall, so I will introduce this place to you first."

"Although our forging room is not big, the materials and tools are all top-notch." Xi Xiong said as he walked to a forging table. "This forging table can withstand extremely high temperatures and pressures. It is specially built for forging three-character battle armor."

Lin Xiuran and Yuanen Yehui listened attentively, looking around at the various novel devices from time to time.

Xi Xiong continued, "And these materials, each one has been carefully selected and processed. You should know that when forging a three-character battle armor, the quality of the materials is crucial."

He picked up a piece of metal that was emitting a strange glow. "For example, this piece was mined from a very deep underground vein and contains powerful energy."

Lin Xiuran also looked at the materials on his side. Many of these materials were rarely seen in human society.

Even in the forging room of his teacher, the master craftsman Zhenhua, these forging materials were rarely seen, but they were all available in the Beast King Palace.

Not only that, this forging room not only contains a lot of metal materials, but also a lot of very rare fusion materials.

These fusion materials are basically neutral and mostly mild. Blacksmiths often use these materials to enhance certain properties of certain metals.

For example, if a neutral metal with strong fire-resistant properties is fused into another metal, the new metal will not only not change any atomic structure, but will enhance its fire resistance.

Moreover, this metal is extremely easy to forge. Because it has no flaws and is very rare, it is naturally very precious.

But the same thing is that when Xi Xiong opens a cabinet at random, he will see it filled with all kinds of neutral metals.

"Uncle Xi, I really want to know what the green crystal in the middle is?" Lin Xiuran was most curious about this one.

In fact, not only him, but Yuan En Yehui standing beside him was also very curious about this. The abundant life energy could be clearly felt as soon as one entered the forging room.

Xi Xiong walked forward, took a look at the green crystal in front of him, and said seriously: "This thing is much more precious. It can't be compared with the garbage just now."

Rubbish?

Lin Xiuran's mouth twitched. The rare metals he had just now were probably more than the amount currently owned by humans on the entire continent. Yet, the person in front of him called them garbage.

Xi Xiong asked: "Do you know the gold of living beings?"

"Gold of Life?" Although Lin Xiuran was a blacksmith, he had never come into contact with this thing.

"Gold of Life is an extremely special and rare metal that contains powerful life energy." Xi Xiong continued to introduce: "But in essence, Gold of Life is just an ordinary piece of metal that has been infected with very rich life energy under the rich life energy, so it is called Gold of Life."

"But what you are seeing right now is what we call the Crystal of Life!"

"The Crystal of Life is not the carrier of any object. It is the most concentrated life energy gathered together and transformed into a solid form." Xi Xiong stretched out a hand, and saw a ball of green energy floating above the Crystal of Life and attached to his hand.

Then he waved his hand lightly, and the ball of green energy instantly split into two halves and merged into the bodies of Lin Xiuran and Yuanen Yehui respectively.

“I want one too!” Obviously, Lin Qianniu knew how delicious this thing was, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Xi Xiong smiled helplessly: "Girl, you have never seen or experienced it, and you also want to, do you really think I am an ATM."

Having said that, he was not stingy and another green energy ball shot into Lin Qianniu's body.

Lin Xiuran only felt a gentle force spreading throughout his body in an instant. Wherever it passed, it seemed as if every cell was nourished, and all his fatigue was swept away.

Yuan En Yehui also showed a look of surprise. This wonderful feeling made her full of curiosity about the Crystal of Life.

Lin Qianniu looked very satisfied and said with a smile: "Uncle Xi is the best!"

Xi Xiong laughed and scolded: "You are just sweet-talking."

Then he looked at Lin Xiuran and Yuan En Yehui, "The energy of this crystal of life will be of great benefit to your cultivation, but remember not to be greedy."

"Thank you, Uncle Xi." Lin Xiuran and Yuan En Yehui naturally knew how delicious this thing was, so they thanked each other first.

Xi Xiong waved his hand and asked, "Can you feel its effect now?"

"This life energy is too powerful." Lin Xiuran could certainly feel it. That kind of pure and flawless life energy was something that could not be felt at all on the Douluo Continent.

"Maybe we could still see some of this thing tens of thousands of years ago." Xi Xiong sighed, "But now, this is probably the last one."

The prerequisite for the generation of the Crystal of Life is that the life energy within the range can reach a critical point. This may have been possible in the Douluo Continent tens of thousands of years ago, but it is completely impossible in the Douluo Continent now.

Human beings’ over-exploitation and utilization of natural resources have led to the destruction of ecological balance, environmental degradation, and affected the natural generation and circulation of life energy.

The reduction in the number of soul beasts is also an important reason. The large-scale hunting and persecution of soul beasts by humans has led to a sharp reduction in the size of the soul beast population. As part of the Douluo Continent ecosystem, the reduction of soul beasts has destroyed the ecological balance and affected the generation and circulation of life energy.

In addition, the development of human science and technology and industry has brought pollution and destruction, further weakening the life energy foundation of Douluo Continent. These factors work together to gradually reduce the life energy of Douluo Continent.

With the current level of Douluo Continent, it is completely impossible to produce such a crystal of life. This is why Xi Xiong said such a thing.

Xi Xiong looked at Lin Xiuran and said seriously: "And the most important thing you want to know today is the three-word battle armor of our Beast King Palace."

"This is why it is different from the battle armor of your human society."
