Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"I'll go find my grandfather and see if there's anyone in the clan with suitable cultivation. The Swift Spirit has the ability to devour spirit rings. Even if the first spirit ring is very young, we still have another chance. Besides, we might not even encounter this situation."

"Well... that's the only way, but you must make sure to explain the situation clearly to people. Don't force them if they don't want to," Chen Feng instructed.

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I will. Besides, our Min tribe has no shortage of people with an adventurous spirit," Bai Chenxiang said with a smile.

Chen Feng nodded. When he taught the Min Clan the idea of ​​avoiding the characteristics of the Swifttail, this kind of thing had already happened once, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Huo Wu's expression was a little strange. "Why do you guys seem so familiar with each other?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You'll find out later."

Fire Dance: (?▼Benefit▼)

It's hardened, the fist is hardened, can't the riddle-maker just die?

……

After the discussion in the forest, Chen Feng and his group went their separate ways to do their own things.

Bai Chenxiang returned to her sect to find suitable test subjects, and Ning Rongrong went back with her. However, Ning Rongrong's task was to see if the sect had collected any sufficiently hard materials, as this was preparation for making a carving knife.

The others were tasked with finding out about the existence of soul-guided metal.

Because this is a completely new concept, people outside the group and even those within the team don't really know what soul guide metals are. They can only slowly search for them by comparing them to the characteristics of Star Soul Mithril. It's difficult to find a specific metal precisely, so the task is quite complicated, and everyone's efforts have to be mobilized.

As for Chen Feng himself, he went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

On one hand, Tang Hao is both a high-level Soul Master and a high-level blacksmith, so he may have some understanding of Soul Guidance Metals. On the other hand, he wants to see if the conditions for restoring the Blue Silver Emperor to normal are sufficient.

Upon arriving at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Chen Feng and his companions immediately spotted Tang Hao sitting next to the Blue Silver Emperor, smiling and speaking softly to him.

As he spoke, the Blue Silver Emperor beside him swayed gently, as if responding to his words.

Chen Feng looked Tang Hao over and felt much more relaxed, because Tang Hao's hands and feet were still intact, without missing any limbs.

"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, Xiao Feng, are you here to treat me?" Tang Hao asked after seeing the three of them.

The old injuries in his body had become chronic, and ordinary treatments were useless. Although Chen Feng and Xiao Wu's Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine could help with his injuries, and the previous treatments had basically brought his injuries under control so that they wouldn't affect Tang Hao's ability to exert his strength, it would still take a lot of time to completely cure them.

However, due to the start of the Soul Master Competition, Tang Hao did not allow Tang San and Xiao Wu to continue their treatment, but instead told them to wait until after the competition was over.

“Dad, this treatment is just one thing; there are other things as well,” Tang San said as he approached.

"Oh? What is it?" Tang Hao asked curiously.

"One is about soul guide metals. Dad, have you ever seen a metal similar to Star Soul Mithril that can react with soul power before?" Tang San asked.

"Metals that react with soul power?" Tang Hao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "There are some, but what's wrong with them?"

"We need to do a new experiment, and we need this type of metal. Dad, can you tell me the names of these metals that you know?"

"Of course." Tang Hao immediately named several people, which Tang San memorized, and then said:

"There's a second thing, which is that we have an idea that might help Mom recover."

"Recovered? To what extent can it be recovered?" Tang Hao was taken aback at first, then asked with delight.

"It's not entirely clear yet; we only have a preliminary plan. But if it succeeds, it might be able to restore Mom to human form," Tang San replied.

"Really? How do we do it? What materials are needed? Are they the metals you asked about earlier?" Tang Hao became agitated.

"Dad, don't worry, listen to me first." Tang San first explained the general process of reviving a soul beast, and then talked about Chen Feng's considerations.

"So you think Ah Yin isn't really dead, and we can just use a part of this resurrection method?" Tang Hao calmed down and began to consider the feasibility of the operation.

Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, that's what I was thinking, but there's a problem: is the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone still there? If you absorbed it, Uncle Hao, then things will be a bit difficult, because you can't simultaneously meet the two conditions of producing the soul bone and having the cultivation of a Title Douluo."

“Of course it wasn’t absorbed; that’s what Ah Yin left behind.” Tang Hao took out a black lead box from his storage soul tool.

After he opened it, a gentle aura wafted out, revealing a crystal-clear right leg bone inside. It was blue-gold in color, and seemed to shimmer with starlight.

Most remarkably, it appears to be alive.

"This is the soul bone left behind by Ah Yin. Originally, I planned to give this soul bone to Xiao San to absorb after his cultivation was sufficient," Tang Hao said with a sense of vicissitude.

“We can make soul bones now. Let’s return Mom’s soul bone to her. But Dad, what about Mom’s soul ring…” Tang San hesitated.

He didn't know what would happen if someone had their spirit rings removed, but he knew without a doubt that they wouldn't emerge unscathed, especially since his father still had old injuries. If something were to happen...

"How about we wait until you've fully recovered and Xiao Wu and I have reached a higher level of cultivation before trying?"

Tang San came only to confirm whether his mother's conditions for recovery were sufficient; he did not intend to immediately try to restore her to adulthood.

But Tang Hao clearly didn't think so.

"It's alright, let's try it now. I'm a Title Douluo, I'm not that fragile." Tang Hao knew that it would be safer to follow his son's advice, but he couldn't wait any longer.

His beloved had a chance to recover, and if he didn't give it a try, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well and would keep thinking about it.

"Xiao Feng, what do you think?" Tang San began to seek Chen Feng's opinion.

Chen Feng also felt they should play it safe, but Tang Hao insisted.

With no other option, the four of them had to begin their initial attempt.

Chapter 262 Soul Power Engine

"Where should we start?" Tang Hao asked impatiently.

"Let's start with the soul bone and see if the Blue Silver Emperor can absorb it," Chen Feng said.

"What about the spirit rings?"

"No rush, let's take it one step at a time, so as not to overdo it."

Seeing that Tang Hao was still somewhat anxious, Chen Feng sighed inwardly and said:

"The Blue Silver Emperor hasn't been transplanted for long, and its essence hasn't recovered much. If we were to infuse all the spirit rings and spirit bones into her at once, there might be some risks."

Hearing this, Tang Hao gradually calmed down.

He removed the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone from the lead box. "What do I need to do?"

"Hmm... let's put this soul bone together with the Blue Silver Emperor first and see if she has the ability to absorb it on her own," Chen Feng said after thinking for a moment.

Tang Hao did as instructed and placed the soul bone on the ground, gently pressing it against the Blue Silver Emperor.

The next second, a faint blue-gold light emanated from the soul bone, seeping into the branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"It should be absorbing, right? Has it been successful?" Tang Hao asked somewhat nervously.

“It is indeed absorbing, but the speed is really too slow.” Chen Feng stroked his chin. “Xiao San, Xiao Wu, you two try using the Jade Rabbit to pound medicine and see if it can help the Blue Silver Emperor.”

"Okay." Tang San immediately agreed and gently hugged Xiao Wu.

Two illusory images of martial spirits emerged from their bodies. Then, the illusory image of Blue Silver Grass was swallowed by the illusory image of Soft Bone Rabbit. After chewing a few times, it turned into a stream of vibrant green energy and spewed onto the branches of Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor trembled slightly, as if it could breathe, and completely absorbed the green energy into its body. The light from the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone also intensified, and the speed at which it seeped into the Blue Silver Emperor's branches and leaves increased visibly.

But this scene did not last long. After only about ten minutes, the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone returned to its original state, slowly seeping in.

“I understand. The Blue Silver Emperor can absorb this soul bone that originated from her own body, but because her recovery is not yet complete and she doesn’t have enough vitality, the absorption speed is not fast,” Chen Feng said.

Tang San continued, "My spirit fusion skill with Xiao Wu can provide life force, so under the impetus of this life force, my mother's absorption of the spirit bone has accelerated a lot. However, since this life force is not my mother's own, this situation is only temporary."

"That should be the case." Chen Feng nodded.

Ah Yin's current situation is actually a bit awkward. She needs strong vitality to fully absorb her own soul bone in order to restore her original power.

However, if she does not restore her original power, she will not be able to fully absorb her own soul bone.

Having graduated from Karazhan is considered graduating from Karazhan.

"It's alright, Xiao Wu and I can stay here. Once we've rested enough, we'll use our Soul Fusion Technique once. That way, Mom will recover sooner or later," Tang San said after consulting Xiao Wu.

“That’s one way too. During the intervals between your Soul Fusion Skills, Ah Yin can slowly absorb the power from the Soul Bone. As long as there’s enough time, it can accumulate little by little. But that would be very tiring for you. How about this, once a week?” Tang Hao didn’t quite agree with his son’s idea and proposed a new solution.

"Dad, I'm fine..." Tang San wanted to say that he recovered quickly.

But Tang Hao waved his hand, "It's settled then. You should still focus on your cultivation now. Once your cultivation levels are higher, the effect of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill will be even better. Ah Yin's recovery is not something that can be achieved overnight."

"Well... alright." Tang San thought it made sense, so he didn't insist anymore.

At this moment, Chen Feng made a suggestion, "This soul bone can't just be left outside like this. I think it's better to bury it in the soil. It would be best to put it in a lead box, leaving only a gap so that the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor can get in."

Soul bones naturally exude an aura, and the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul bone is even more extraordinary. If it is not hidden properly, it will cause trouble if someone passes by and notices it.

“That makes sense.” Tang Hao was reminded and immediately squatted down to dig. To avoid damaging the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor, he didn’t even use any tools.

"Dad, let me do the digging." After saying that, Tang San summoned the Blue Silver Grass and plunged it into the ground, quickly digging out a passage leading to the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang Hao placed the soul bone into the lead box, leaving a gap, and then sent the lead box into the passage. Tang San then used Blue Silver Grass to restore the land.

After doing all this, Tang Hao walked around and nodded, saying:

"When I came to Ah Yin, I could still sense a bit of her presence, but I couldn't sense it anymore once I got a little further away. After Ah Yin absorbed the soul bone and slowly recovered, the fluctuations became even harder to detect due to the ebb and flow of energy. Not bad."

"I hope Mom recovers soon," Tang San wished.

Chen Feng looked at the lush Blue Silver Emperor before him and asked:

"Speaking of life attributes, are there any items for Foundation Establishment?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then said:

"It seems not, I've never heard of such a thing on the market."

"What a pity, if we had some, we could have bought some and kept them here."

"It seems that only basic elements like wind, fire, water, and thunder have foundational materials, while things like life, death, and fate do not."

"Perhaps these attributes are more advanced and complex, which is why they cannot form in nature," Chen Feng guessed.

After the matter of the Blue Silver Emperor came to an end, Chen Feng and the others began the next phase of their work, which was to try to replicate the power structure of the music box and find a way to increase its output.

The most important requirement for this job is a suitable carving knife.

Therefore, Chen Feng sent Ning Rongrong back to the sect to see if there were any usable materials in the sect's treasury. However, before that, Tang Hao might also drop some materials.

"A material that's tough enough..." Tang Hao thought for a moment, "How about deep-sea sunken silver?"

"Isn't that a big anvil? Uncle Hao, do you have a way to separate it?" Chen Feng asked.

“There are also small pieces.” After saying that, Tang Hao took out a sharp gray stone from his storage soul tool.

"This is a scrap of silver that I found when I discovered the sunken silver in the deep sea. If you need a carving knife, its shape is quite suitable."

Tang San took the gray stone, examined it briefly, and nodded, saying:

"It should be usable. Although the hardness of deep-sea silver is not the highest among metals, it should still be fine for general engraving work."

"Then what is the hardest metal?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"It is Cold Heart Iron Essence, but I have only heard of its name. When I was traveling around the continent back then, I never encountered this metal," Tang Hao said with some regret.

This metal, along with the silver mother-of-pearl from deep-sea sinking silver, is also an essential material for making the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, Tang San thought to himself.

"Perhaps Rongrong can give us a surprise. Hopefully, she can bring some good materials," Chen Feng said.

Tang San shook his head. "Rongrong doesn't even recognize metals, how can she tell which is good and which is bad?"

"Of course she can. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's innate ability is to appraise treasures. After being upgraded to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, this ability has been further enhanced. Although Rongrong doesn't recognize metals, she can distinguish the value of metals."

"Is that so?" Tang San looked astonished.

Tang Hao nodded. "I've heard of that too. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School became the richest sect on the continent largely because of its treasure appraisal ability. Back when the Clear Sky Sect hadn't gone into seclusion... never mind, let's not talk about that."

"Dad, when I become strong, I will definitely return to the sect," Tang San said earnestly.

Tang Hao patted his son's head and smiled, "Let's talk about it later."

Tang San didn't say anything more, picked up the sharp stone in his hand and began to replicate the power structure of the music box.

At first, the work did not go smoothly, and there were occasional mistakes in the drawing. However, after Tang San learned to use his mental power to assist in the drawing without a teacher, his drawing work never made any mistakes again.

Soon, a cylinder and rotor made of Star Soul Mithril appeared in front of them, with patterns engraved by Tang San on them.

According to more professional terminology from the Dou Er era, this pattern should be called a core magic array.

"We also need something to hold the rotor in place, and it would be best to apply some lubricant to the contact surface between this thing and the rotor," Chen Feng suggested.

"That's easy." Under Tang Hao's guidance, Chen Feng's request was quickly fulfilled.

Immediately afterwards, Tang San assembled the three together and then infused them with soul power.

Almost at the same moment, the rotor inside the cylinder began to spin rapidly.
