Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 217: Metal Slime (Fifth Update)
Chen Ming accepted the forging encyclopedia without hesitation and secretly gave Lou Gao a thumbs up in his heart.

He will go to other continents to collect the power of faith in the future. In this era, Douluo Continent is undoubtedly the only protagonist on Douluo Star. Even the Sun and Moon Continent with its soul guide heritage cannot be more developed than Douluo Continent.

The two continents occupied by Xingluo and Douling, which were only mentioned in passing in the original novel, are even more incomparable. It is estimated that they are still in the primitive society.

Is this encyclopedia of blacksmithing enough for Chen Ming to gain a large amount of faith in the New World, or even to form a prototype of a god of forging or civilization?

After all, the prototype of a god's position is slightly inferior to that of a demigod in quality. With Chen Ming's perception and uniqueness, it is not particularly difficult to condense it as long as the faith is sufficient.

After receiving this gift, Chen Ming and Lou Gao continued their conversation. Lou Gao expressed his thoughts on forging, while Chen Ming talked about his thoughts on the world.

Lou Gao's insights were not of much use to Chen Ming, but Chen Ming's insights were extremely precious to Lou Gao. Some overlooked flaws in forging were magnified in his mind, and some areas that he originally didn't know how to deal with also had some ideas.

After talking for a long time, Lou Gao began to introduce the soul-forged metal ball in his hand.

Lou Gao spread out his palm and placed the soul-forged metal ball on the table. The ball spread out in an instant and turned into a slime-like shape. The bright silver body moved regularly, absorbing the soul power between heaven and earth.

When Chen Ming poked the metal slime with his fingers, the metal slime instinctively expressed some doubtful emotions.

Lou Gao took out a small bag filled with metal shavings, and he gently picked up a handful of them and sprinkled them on the metal slime. After feeling the shavings, the metal slime immediately became excited, and swallowed the metal shavings scattered on its body like a real slime, and then went into a limp state of digestion.

The liquid metal body, which looks soft but is actually quite hard, expands and contracts, absorbing the vital energy between heaven and earth and transforming it into soul power. It uses the soul power to assimilate various iron filings in its body.

Although he has no facial organs to express emotions, Chen Ming can feel that the liquid metal is very happy just by looking at it with his naked eyes.

Lou Gao motioned Chen Ming to feed some metal shavings as well. When Chen Ming sprinkled the metal shavings on the metal slime, the slime showed obvious doubts.

After "looking" at Chen Ming, it moved its liquid-like body closer to Lou Gao. After making sure that Lou Gao's expression had not changed, it began to tentatively absorb the metal shavings that Chen Ming fed it to it bit by bit.

It even has the concept that you can't eat anything given by strangers.
Chen Ming always felt that this thing had too much spirituality. If he put it on a metal mine full of soul power and let it live for a few hundred years, it might even produce a soul ring in the future.

Lou Gao poked the metal slime with his fingers with a peaceful expression, and introduced the characteristics of the metal slime to Chen Ming.

"I forged the little silver using sixteen kinds of top-grade metals. Each of them is a good material with sufficient spirituality. I have processed each piece preliminarily to remove impurities and stimulate the basic spirituality."

"This child has many special features. For example, it inherits the property of Hidden Silver Iron that is difficult to be sensed by mental power and soul power, the corrosion resistance of Hundred Forged Flame Gold, the density of Thousand Heavy Iron, the soul power conductivity of Cloud Pattern Steel, and the plasticity of Pure Gold." "But it's a pity. Because my skills are not up to standard, and I didn't think too much at the time and added too much metal, even though it has many properties, it only inherited a small part of the properties of these metals. It is not strong and stable."

"In the beginning, its spirituality was not so strong, and sometimes it looked like it was about to collapse. After a careful inspection, I began to prepare feed for it, and then tried to purify it, remove those unstable characteristics, and let it grow in a certain direction."

"In the past few months, I have mainly fed him metal shavings mixed with cloud pattern steel and hidden silver, and fed him some refined gold every once in a while. Its properties have gradually stabilized, and some of the metal's properties have been eliminated."

"Its main features now are three: the difficulty of detection from hidden silver, the soul power conductivity of cloud steel, and the plasticity of refined gold."

"By the way, during the process of forging it, it absorbed almost twenty years of my life force. Although it cannot be considered an independent life like a human or soul beast, it does have some biological characteristics."

"But to be honest, it should still be in the material stage. After all, it is hard to call it a finished product. But I don't have the ability to further purify and forge it."

When Lou Gao said this, he felt both happy and a little headache.

This piece of stuff was above soul forging but not yet fusion forging. It had spirituality and life and used a variety of materials, but it just couldn't inspire any talent.

Later, Lou Gao finally figured it out. His skills were poor and the materials he used were too many and too diverse, which resulted in him being stuck at the stage that should have been used to stimulate his talent.

Now, this piece of silver, called Little Silver, can no longer be remelted and reforged. Its structure is too complicated, and once it is reforged, it will be equivalent to completely killing its vitality and spirituality.
In Lou Gao's estimation, the technical level is not to be said to be at the level of a master craftsman, but at least it is close to that of a master craftsman.

After knowing these questions, Chen Ming picked up the metal slime that was spread out on the table and started to digest food with great interest. He forced his way into its body against its will, sensed its structure, and then left his own mark on it.

The metal slime called Xiaoyin was reluctant at first, but under Chen Ming's control, its body gradually cooperated, and finally even its mind was branded with Chen Ming's mark.

This little life has completely forgotten its creator, Lou Gao, and its body has become Chen Ming's. When Chen Ming injects soul power into it, this small piece of metal slime will respond with a weak tremor.

Under Chen Ming's will, Xiaoyin turned into liquid and wrapped around Chen Ming's wrist, and then changed shape with Chen Ming's will, gradually turning into a wrist guard. Under Chen Ming's precise control, lifelike five poisonous patterns gradually appeared on the wrist guard.

Looking at this scene, Lou Gao opened his mouth wide, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
