Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 626 Ninth-Level Alchemy Furnace; Chen Junting: Have you ever heard of the Soul Bone Fusion Technique (Two-in-One)?

"So how do you plan to quickly improve everyone's cultivation level?"

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Junting's residence. When Ning Tian learned of Chen Junting's plans, doubts arose in his heart.

It's important to understand that once their soul power cultivation reaches their current level, rapid improvement is practically impossible.

Just like after so many months, in order to prepare for the impending crisis, Chen Junting asked everyone to cultivate in seclusion. But even with the support of the Golden Ancient Tree and the formation, apart from Xiao Xiao, the cultivation levels of the others did not seem to have changed much.

Unless everyone is given high-quality soul bones, undergoes another divine trial, or consumes rare and precious herbs, it's simply unthinkable.

"Actually, apart from the Divine Trial which I can't control, I can handle everything else you mentioned." After Ning Tian gave these three examples, Chen Junting smiled, giving off a relaxed and confident vibe.

Ok?
Hearing his brother Junting say this, Ning Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. "Suitable and powerful soul bones for them are not easy to find at all; even the Star Dou Great Forest cannot gather them all. Are you planning to use that artificial soul bone method? But where are the suitable materials?"

“Then it depends on the sect.” Chen Junting was quite straightforward, admitting that he couldn’t collect the right materials on his own, but it would be different if he relied on the sect’s resources.

Putting aside the fact that over the past ten thousand years, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has accumulated its foundation by leveraging the advantages of its martial soul to identify treasures, its wealth and influence mean that as long as the news is released, suitable materials can always be found.

"That's true."

Ning Tian agreed with this.

After all, this is the kind of help a sect can provide to its disciples. Since they need resources, they should naturally be given those resources.

If it can be solved with money, then it's not a problem! If money can be used to make the sect's geniuses even stronger, then it's even less of a problem!
"I will go back and tell my father about this. However, even if all the treasure pavilions in various places search with all their might, suitable materials are not so easy to obtain. After all, which material is not rare?"

"That's why I still need to refine elixirs."

"Alchemy?"

Hearing Chen Junting's confident tone, several big question marks immediately popped into Ning Tian's head. Brother Junting knows alchemy? But he had absolutely no idea that Chen Junting had studied it.
Could it be during these four years of separation?
Just as she was puzzled, Chen Junting answered Ning Tian's question, "Actually, after I obtained the 'Poison Classic' and 'Medicine Classic' left by Tang San, I spent some of my spare time studying them. As you probably know, they not only describe in detail the effects of those rare and precious herbs, but also the principles of mutual repulsion and promotion between some medicines. There is even a kind of pill that I think is very suitable for us, such as the pill we took in Qiankun Wenqing Valley before. If we can refine some rare and precious herbs into pills suitable for them, then everyone's cultivation will definitely leap forward after taking them."

"In this way, everyone can greatly improve their cultivation and shorten the time they spend grinding away. So in the next period of time, I plan to refine that kind of pill."

The kind of elixir obtained from the Valley of Love and Destiny...

Recalling the powerful effects of that pill, Ning Tian largely agreed. Therefore, she didn't need to hesitate on this point.

However, the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, along with their essence, had already been almost completely harvested by them. The remaining immortal herbs were mostly like two or three large cats or small cats.

So, "Is that enough?"

"Of course it's enough."

Chen Junting tapped the storage soul tool in his hand, "The places where I trained for the last two years were rich in life force and nurtured many rare and precious materials. Although I didn't recognize some of them, I still brought back quite a few, adhering to the principle of 'not wasting'."

"So that's enough."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian nodded slightly.

Since that's the case, then I have no more doubts.

As for whether he knew alchemy, Ning Tian said there was no need to ask. She had complete faith in her brother Junting; he definitely knew it!

So, Chen Junting went to the Soul Guidance Research Institute. A month ago, he had asked Jing Ziyan to build him a pill-refining furnace. As for what the furnace should look like, he had no intention of interfering.

Because whether it's soul tools or alchemy, the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire are the most authoritative.

After all, in order to promote the development of Soul Masters, all factions within the Sun Moon Empire, regardless of size, would have large quantities of pills made for Soul Masters who had awakened their Soul Power but lacked talent, in order to accelerate their cultivation.

In contrast, on the Douluo Continent side, even the so-called pills are extremely crude, with no purification or refining of medicines, which undoubtedly results in a great waste.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Chen Junting chose to "let go".

After explaining the requirements, he let Jing Ziyan work freely. However, according to Jing Ziyan, to refine rare and precious medicines, a high-level soul-guided furnace was required. The higher the level of the medicine, the higher the requirements for the furnace. According to Chen Junting's description, a level nine furnace was needed to complete the refining process.

Therefore, the earliest delivery time is one month.

Today is the last day of the fastest deadline.

"Ziyan, how's it going? Is the alchemy furnace finished yet?"

The voice has already been placed before the person has been placed.

Jing Ziyan, who had dark circles under her eyes, heard the sound while she was at the research table. She immediately looked towards the direction of the research room door. With a "beep," the door slid open to the sides, and Chen Junting strolled in leisurely.

"You've arrived, just in time. Ha—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Ziyan let out a long yawn.

Coupled with his messy hair and less-than-clean lab coat, Chen Junting frowned, stopped in his tracks, and asked, "How many days has it been since you've had a proper rest?"

"Not much, just half a month."

Jing Ziyan herself didn't seem to care at all, and shrugged.

After all, this is not a problem for a Contra player.

Seeing this, Chen Junting didn't say anything more.

Because talking is completely useless.

We still need to find a way to solve this physically.

Thinking about it, his gaze thoughtfully drifted to the back of Jing Ziyan's neck. Just then, she sneezed, but clearly didn't pay any attention, and led Chen Junting inside.

Soon, an enormous cauldron, about one meter in diameter, appeared before Chen Junting. The cauldron was round, with four legs, and looked ancient, imposing, and very heavy. It had a lid, and the whole thing fit together perfectly.

Chen Junting stepped forward and patted the door open.

"Bang bang bang-"

The dull thud echoed incessantly.

Jing Ziyan then said from the side, "This is the level nine alchemy furnace you wanted. I asked Teacher Xuan and another level nine soul master for help to complete the making of this alchemy furnace."

As she spoke, Jing Ziyan explained the function of this level nine alchemy furnace soul guide device and its materials. "This level nine alchemy furnace contains more than thirty kinds of core arrays, which can compress energy and block it, so as to ensure that the medicinal power is not lost while suppressing the Yuan energy released by the medicine."

"In addition, in order to ensure that the material of the alchemy furnace is tough enough and has good insulation and thermal conductivity, and can withstand high temperature and high pressure, the metal inside the alchemy furnace is all made of Crimson Demon Refined Gold. As an extremely rare fire attribute metal, it not only contains a huge amount of fire element power, but is also extremely tough. In fact, because the metal itself is filled with powerful fire element power, almost no fire can soften it, not even the ultimate fire."

"Not bad, not bad." Chen Junting stroked the alchemy furnace and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, how do I use this alchemy furnace?"

As if she had been prepared, Jing Ziyan pulled out an instruction manual from somewhere, which was filled with densely written content.

After receiving the document, Chen Junting skipped over the irrelevant parts and quickly figured out the part he needed.

Following the instructions, Chen Junting pressed a few buttons on the alchemy furnace to open its outer shell. The instant it opened, a blast of scorching heat rushed out, and the temperature in the entire room noticeably rose several degrees.

Despite the heatwave, Chen Junting remained unfazed and even reached into the alchemy furnace to feel the temperature inside.

When I felt it was about time, I turned it off.

With a wave of his hand, he stored it in his soul storage device.

"I am very satisfied with this alchemy furnace."

Chen Junting clapped his hands and looked at Jing Ziyan.

"Thank you so much for your help this past month."

Jing Ziyan shook her head slightly. From her bright eyes, it was clear that this was not a troublesome matter.

Even for her, in order to create this level nine alchemy furnace, she had to work under two level nine soul masters, which allowed her to learn a lot.

Just as Chen Junting was about to leave after taking the alchemy furnace, he slightly flicked his finger, preparing to unleash his soul power to let Jing Ziyan rest, when a "beep" sound rang out and the research institute's door opened.

This sudden turn of events forced Chen Junting to back down.

The next second, Xuan Ziwen walked in.

"Ziyan, you and..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Chen Junting.

"What brings you to the research institute?"

However, before Chen Junting could even answer the question, Xuan Ziwen realized what was going on and asked, "Oh, you're here to get that level nine alchemy furnace, right? So, how did it go?"

Chen Junting replied naturally, "It's already been taken."

"That's good."

After saying that, Xuan Ziwen's attention shifted away from Chen Junting and turned to Jing Ziyan, saying, "You probably don't have any important research projects here, so come with me."

He looked very anxious and rushed.

Upon hearing this, Jing Ziyan nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Teacher Xuan."

This scene piqued Chen Junting's curiosity.

So I asked one more question.
"Teacher Xuan, what are you all rushing off to?"

Who would have thought that these words would earn them a slightly strange look from Xuan Ziwen, and the same look from Jing Ziyan.

"you forgot?"

"Forget what?"

When asked that,
Chen Junting seemed completely baffled.

But when Xuan Ziwen uttered the words "battle armor," Chen Junting's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Teacher Xuan, you're in such a hurry, has your research made a major breakthrough?!"

"A major breakthrough? It's not that simple."

Even Xuan Ziwen, who was usually an expert in soul tools, couldn't help but show a bitter smile after hearing Chen Junting's question. "Even with the ideas you provided earlier, and the help of the formation, it will be very difficult for us to conquer the ideal battle armor at our current level. After all, we have to deduce everything from scratch, and there is nothing to refer to. However, I believe that with our groundwork, the birth of battle armor will be fully realized around the fourth generation."

In the end, the bitterness disappeared.

Instead, a powerful sense of self-confidence has taken its place!

Listening to this, Jing Ziyan also felt her blood boil with excitement.

However, Chen Junting seemed thoughtful about Xuan Ziwen's declaration. In a daze, or perhaps in a moment of contemplation, he suddenly asked the excited Xuan Ziwen, "Teacher Xuan, if I were to offer you a reference, could you achieve it in your generation?"

"What!?"

Xuan Ziwen seemed not to believe his ears.

They even began to doubt whether they had misheard.

In contrast, Jing Ziyan immediately realized what was going on and asked Chen Junting, "Do you mean you have a finished battle armor that we can use as a reference?"

In an instant, Xuan Ziwen's eyes burned with passion.

Even if he was wondering, who created the battle armor first?

But the next second, "No, that's not it." Those four simple words instantly poured cold water on the atmosphere.

"I knew it," and "Then what did you say?" expressions also appeared on the faces of the two Soul Masters. This made Chen Junting feel a little amused and exasperated.

"What do you two mean by this? If you knew, the Battle Armor is just a concept inspired by that humanoid soul tool. How could it possibly be a real thing?"

Seemingly unwilling to hear further explanations, Xuan Ziwen waved his hand, and then Jing Ziyan, who was standing beside him, pressed on, "So what did you mean just now? Is there anything we can refer to?"

"Soul and Bone Fusion Technique".

What, what fusion technique? Soul Bone?
Shouldn't a fusion skill be a martial soul?
A look of confusion clearly appeared on their faces.

As Soul Masters, Xuan Ziwen and Jing Ziyan had never heard of the so-called "Soul Bone Fusion Technique," or rather, even most Soul Masters didn't know what it was.

It's likely that only seasoned scholars have heard of it.

After pondering the name "Soul Bone Fusion Technique" and its possible connection with battle armor, Xuan Ziwen asked a crucial question: "Does this mean that after soul bones are fused, a set of soul bone armor can be formed outside the body?"
