Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 148 Alchemist
The east gradually turned white, several big birds took to the sky one after another, and the monsters gradually relaxed.

Chen Yuansheng endured the pain for more than two hours. Fortunately, the second-order star leaf grass was really powerful, and the blood in the wound stopped, and there were signs of healing.

Little Bear came up and applied medicine to Chen Yuansheng with a porcelain bottle: "Boss, would you like to eat something?"

Chen Yuansheng nodded: "Get me some water and dried meat."

Several tauren had already gone to kill the antelope, and Niu Qianshan carried the woman in black to Chen Yuansheng.

The woman looks to be in her 50s. Although her body is wrapped in a black robe, you can still see the bumps and bumps. She also exudes a special fragrance. You don't need to look at her face. Just her figure and fragrance can make ordinary people fall in love at first sight.

"Head up."

Chen Yuansheng took the water bag and dried meat from Little Bear and said casually.

The woman did not raise her head, but stretched out her hand to slowly tear off the mask from her face.

Behind the mask is an almost flawless, alluring face, especially those eyes, which are like water waves and can make people lose their souls just by looking at them.

If it weren't for Luo Xue hanging around every day, Chen Yuansheng felt that he wouldn't be able to pass this test today.

Which man could bear to kill such a beautiful woman?
"Master, please don't kill me! I am also forced to do so. As long as you let me go, I will serve you with all my heart in this life."

The woman was so pitiful that as soon as the words came out of her mouth, two lines of tears fell down her pretty face.

"I know you were forced, but you were not forced by me. Go ahead, you are free."

Chen Yuansheng waved his hand with a wry smile, and said to Niu Qianshan, "Stay away, boss, I'm soft-hearted, I can't see this."

"Owner……"

The woman cried so hard that she raised her hand to touch her arms.

Chen Yuansheng thought she was going to pull out some hidden weapon, so he grabbed the long knife, but the woman took out three thumb-sized, red rhombus crystals from her arms: "Master, I have red flame crystals, please give me a way to survive." , No matter what you ask me to do from now on, I will do it with all my heart."

Chen Yuansheng raised his eyebrows lightly, hesitated for a moment and stretched out his left hand to take the crystal.

"Oh~"

The moment the hands were handed over, the woman made a murmur. Chen Yuansheng couldn't help but take a glance, and saw that the woman's original black eyes instantly turned into a pale green, and a dark light burst out, which made him dizzy.

"Seize the soul? I'm familiar with this."

"Shh!"

Chen Yuansheng waved his right hand, and the long knife flashed past the woman's neck. The green light in the latter's eyes gradually faded, her pretty face twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Awesome, you are the most determined man I have ever seen."

"Without him, you are well-informed."

Just one swing of the long knife caused Chen Yuansheng's sternum to hurt so much that he almost fell to the ground. He helped the little bear stand up slowly and took a few steps: "Go ahead, it won't be too painful this way."

Bang, the woman's head was lifted half a meter high by blood, and then hit the sand heavily.

"A sin!"

Chen Yuansheng felt calm about killing evil beasts, but killing a beautiful woman, even if he knew she was a contaminated necromancer, made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Foreign Soul +150"

"Give that much? It seems to be an intermediate necromancer."

Chen Yuansheng quickly glanced at the system panel:
Spiritual Power: 13/10
Attribute Points: 302
Idiosyncratic: 49/100
Alien Soul: 68/100
The gains from this battle this morning were not small. A total of 9 attribute points and more than 200 points of alien souls were obtained. Every 100 points of alien souls gave one point of spiritual power.

But what does this spiritual power: 13/10 mean?
Ever since the attribute of spiritual power appeared in the system panel, Chen Yuansheng has been studying how to use spiritual power. Because he had tested chalcedony and found that spiritual power actually existed in chalcedony, his spiritual power should be similar to the spiritual power used by warlocks. identical.

But he has tried many times, but he has not been able to activate any of the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes. There is no chance of becoming a warlock.

Will this extra spiritual power escape?

Chen Yuansheng thought for a while, found a place to sit down, and asked Xiaoxiong to get the staff used by the woman.

The top of the staff is a green chalcedony. I stretched out my hand and felt the spiritual power: 9/100.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the spiritual power in the chalcedony suddenly changed: 12/100.
Look at his attribute column again, spiritual power: 10.

In other words, spiritual power can be obtained by killing evil beasts and undead souls that pollute their souls, and excess spiritual power can be injected into chalcedony to prevent it from escaping.

"Forget it, although I don't know how to use spiritual power myself, it would be great if I could inject it into chalcedony and give it to those warlocks."

Chen Yuansheng was in high spirits after discovering another advantage of the system.

The monster beasts were injured a lot, but most of them were not serious injuries. Only the big python was seriously injured. It was cut twice by the skeleton warrior and hit by three arrows. Chen Yuansheng used heterogeneity to treat it, and then mainly rested.

It is not easy to raise troops and mobilize a large number of people at once, and we cannot withdraw just because Chen Yuansheng himself was seriously injured.

After some discussions with the monsters, Chen Yuansheng finally made up his mind: change his tactics and continue hunting.During the day, sweep the area between 200 and 220, retreat 50 miles at night, and no longer risk advancing. It will take about 4 days to sweep this sector.

Pulling out polluting plants is a huge blow to the desert evil beasts. It can further reduce the scope of activities of the desert evil beasts and save the world.

The task this time was relatively simple, everyone acted cautiously, Er Falcon, Big Osprey, and Gray Sparrow took turns to complete their tasks without affecting each other.

Civilians [-356 days] At dusk, Chen Yuansheng returned to the territory with a huge team of monsters.

Except for a dangerous battle in the early morning of that day, this hunting did not encounter any large-scale battles. On one occasion, ten golden beasts and more than 50 evil beasts tried to besiege them. Because Er Falcon and the others gave early warning, Chen Yuansheng led the team to rescue them in time. After retreating 50 miles, the opponent did not pursue them again.

However, this hunt only resulted in 219 attribute points, which was cut in half compared to the last time.

"It's good to be able to come back alive. You can't be too greedy as a person."

…………

The news that Boss Chen was injured came back to the territory three days ago. Everyone was sweating, but Boss Chen did not come back to recuperate. Everyone thought that the injury was not serious.

But all the monsters who participated in the battle knew that Boss Chen and Yao Tuo were able to come back alive only because of their hard luck.

But this time Boss Chen's performance caused a certain shock in the hearts of the monsters. In the past, Boss Chen was mainly a conductor.

Of course, he commanded very well. Everyone could win the battle every time, and anyone who was seriously injured would receive timely treatment, otherwise the team would have been destroyed long ago.

But in this battle, Boss Chen risked his life to charge alone, instead of letting the monsters risk their lives in the dark.

A general who can command a battle gives everyone completely different feelings from a general who can both command a battle and dare to be on the front line.For example, the Demonic Wolf, the Great Osprey, and the Shadow Leopard. Their main purpose of staying here is so that Boss Chen can promote them to golden beasts in the future. They don’t have a strong sense of belonging to the territory, and they don’t have the luxury of going further. After all, this There are basically no beasts above gold in the world.

But after this battle, they felt that Boss Chen was a capable, interesting and capable person.

Especially after Boss Chen advanced to the silver level, with the blessing of the demon camel, long sword, and shield, his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. He has the strength to compete with ordinary golden beasts, and his potential is huge.

Following such a lord, maybe we can really have a future in the future.

Chen Yuansheng's main task when he returned to the territory was to recuperate from his injuries. Of course, he was not idle, because the territory currently lacked systematic management talents, and Chen Yuansheng had to personally handle almost everything.

Early the next morning, Chen Yuansheng came to the blacksmith shop and showed three red flame crystals to the alchemists for inspection.

The only person here who has really seen the Red Flame Crystal is Song Nan. He held the crystal and praised it endlessly: This is a real treasure. Even in the Zijin Empire, there is basically no way to obtain the Red Flame Crystal. Now you can still What was taken out was basically inventory that was hundreds of years old, and basically had a price but no market.

Don't use this thing lightly, wait until you build an intermediate or higher weapon later.

Hearing the news, Chen Yuansheng felt regretful for a while: That woman should have given others a way to survive after taking out such a good treasure.

After looking at the progress of each group, I am relatively satisfied. Under the current situation of having enough food and clothing, these alchemists are not idle and work hard to show their value.

Finally, Chen Yuansheng was entangled by Mr. Xu, Yang Xiaoyang and Yao Ertou. They were currently encountering a problem and wanted to see if Lord Chen had any wild ideas.

There are currently two carts in the territory, but they are both the simplest carts, mainly used to transport wood.

But to transport wood from [-] miles away, the capacity of the cart is too small. There are several big oxen in the territory, and the immigrants also got a few of their own. Traveling [-] miles to transport so much wood and firewood is really a big effort with big oxen pulling a small cart. .

So Carpenter Sun discussed with Master Xu whether they could build a large cart with a width of more than two meters. The wheels, axles, skeleton, and outer frame were all made of steel, so that thousands of kilograms of wood could be transported in one trip.

The problem now is that it is okay to make steel parts, but it is difficult to assemble them under the existing conditions. For example, when we used to make bearing cages, they could not be fixed. Now they are shaking, and sometimes it is even difficult to rotate.

Chen Yuansheng has only a rudimentary knowledge of engineering. The only combinations of steel accessories he can think of are rivets, pins, screws, and welding...

"Welding seems like something you can try."

Chen Yuansheng suddenly remembered that these warlocks could use spiritual energy to stimulate the fire element in the beast soul crystal. Since it has high temperature, it can melt it and of course it can also be welded.

"Master Xu, can you directly use the beast soul crystal to activate the fire element in it?"

Mr. Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It can be stimulated, but the temperature of the fire element in the beast soul crystal is too high, so it is impossible to hold it."

Chen Yuansheng turned around and said to Yang Xiaoyang next to him: "Go to Songnan and get some forged spiritual energy mesh strips, at least four. They are too thin."

Songnan and the others have begun to forge the spiritual energy net. Because it is a net, each metal strip is very thin, only half the size of a pencil.

After Yang Xiaoyang brought the metal bars, Chen Yuansheng twisted the four bars together, tied a first-order beast soul crystal to the front end, and placed the green chalcedony taken from the staff in the middle.

"Mr. Xu, come and try, activate the spiritual energy in the chalcedony, stimulate the fire element in the beast soul crystal, melt the two iron rods, and see if they can be welded together."

Chen Yuansheng knew a little bit that in the welding process in another world, inert gas protection is needed during the metal welding process, otherwise the gases and impurities in the air will reduce the strength after welding.

So now I can only try, and if it doesn't work, think of other ways.

This is a brand new challenge, and it is the first time that you alchemists have heard of the word welding.

Such a historically groundbreaking task was entrusted to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu felt very sacred and felt that he should take a shower and change clothes before coming back.

Fortunately, Chen Yuansheng stopped me in the end: Try it first, there is no guarantee of success.

In order to verify the practicality and reliability, Niu Tiechui found two iron blocks weighing more than fifty kilograms and solemnly placed them on a big stone.

Holding the twisted metal bar, Mr. Xu turned his head and glanced at it: "Everyone, step back, don't hurt innocent people."

Hurrah, a dozen or so people all stepped back three meters, sticking their heads and looking this way.

Chen Yuansheng is not afraid. He is very familiar with this. As long as the light is not too strong, it will be fine.

Mr. Xu took a deep breath, put the two iron blocks together, used spiritual energy to activate the green chalcedony, and then used the metal strips to stimulate the fire element in the beast soul crystal.

Stab it!

One end of the beast soul crystal shot out a foot-long flame. It seemed that Master Xu had really worked hard this time.

The temperature of the flame exceeded Chen Yuansheng's imagination. Of course, no alchemist would be willing to use the beast soul crystal to directly heat iron, which would be a waste.

In just a few seconds, the contact part of the iron block turned red.

Mr. Xu didn't know whether this situation was considered welding. Chen Yuansheng said from the side: "Wait a little longer until the iron pieces melt and fuse."

After ten seconds, the contact parts of the iron blocks began to melt and fuse.

Chen Yuansheng was a little excited and continued: "Move down slowly and take advantage of the heat to weld all the seams."

The next speed is much faster. Master Xu is worthy of alchemy and forging all the year round, and his mastery of the heat is far superior to that of Chen Yuansheng.

Within a minute or two, all the gaps between the two pieces of iron were welded together.

"now what?"

After the welding was completed, Mr. Xu turned to look at Chen Yuansheng, hoping to get further guidance from the 'master'.

Chen Yuansheng also had two knives, he didn't know whether to quench the temperature, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "That's it, wait, wait until he cools down."

A bunch of people gathered around, leaning their heads to study the weld - not to mention, it was still very neat and beautiful.

After about 10 minutes, Chen Yuansheng felt that the temperature should have dropped, so he gave it a try.

Niu Tiehammer clamped the welded iron tool to the rammed earth anvil, picked up the three hundred kilogram hammer and slammed it down with a bang.

The iron was deformed, but the welds were not opened, not at all.

"Brilliant!"

A bunch of people around him cheered. I don’t know who shouted this “awesome”, which made Niu Tiechui feel very harsh. How could he talk about his wife’s organs casually?
Chen Yuansheng grabbed Mr. Xu's shoulders: "Mr. Xu, from now on you will not only be an alchemist, but also a welder. You are so awesome that there is no one else with this skill."

Mr. Xu twirled his beard with satisfaction and shook the twist metal bar in his hand: "From now on, this will belong to me."

"No, I asked Songnan and the others to make one for you, and make a few. Just one alchemist in the territory is not enough, you need to bring a few more out."
