Chapter 168: Refining Beast Blood
These two bottles of exotic beast blood, one is the blood of the Azure-eyed Heavenly Fox, and the other is the blood of the Gold-eating Mouse. When these two types of blood are mixed in proportion, they become a material for forging top-grade Daoist equipment.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed and his spirit condensed, his perception ability suddenly rising to its limit. He picked up two jade bottles with each hand.
"Begin."
The palm's core energy suddenly surged, and two jade bottles simultaneously ejected a thin thread of blood that collided in mid-air, merging into a slightly thicker thread.
The blood of the Azure-Eyed Heavenly Fox was a greenish hue with a white glow, while that of the Golden Devouring Mouse was a golden red color. When the two bloods merged together, they presented an unusual pinkish color, which looked extremely eerie.
The bloodline paused in mid-air for a moment, slowly rotating, the two bloods quickly merged, and then Lin Feng's heart moved, and the bloodline fell into the empty jade bottle.
"It's fine." Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly curved up, apparently also extremely satisfied.
The blood of the alien beast contains a huge amount of energy, and if it is not handled carefully during processing, there is a possibility of explosion. The explosion of high-level alien beast blood can even harm the symbol master himself, so this processing of alien beast blood is an extremely dangerous thing.
However, this modulation method itself has no secrets, Lin Feng also uses the common practice, the key is to grasp the good proportion, and let the beast blood fully mix evenly, Lin Feng is nervous, but because he is the first time actual operation, heart some unsteady.
The two jade bottles were soon empty, and the pink blood mixture was almost full of the large jade bottle. Lin Feng put down the two jade bottles, feeling the strong yuanqi fluctuations emanating from inside, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The first modulation was completely successful, and all this naturally had something to do with his strong perceptual ability.
"Little one, the blood of the Golden Mouse should be enough." Old Zhuang's voice suddenly rang out.
"Why, I was strictly configured according to the prescribed ratio!" Lin Feng exclaimed in astonishment.
"There is no absolutely strict ratio, the ratio is just a guide. For example, for the same blue-eyed heavenly fox, whether it's young or mature, strong and healthy or old and dying, can the energy in their blood be the same? As a good totem master, the key is to feel the energy in the beast's blood yourself, and then find the best ratio to make the energy in the beast's blood play its maximum effect."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement, and Old Zhuang's words were obviously very reasonable.
"Strictly following the ratio to configure is the safest approach, but also the most foolish one. The masters who do it this way will find it difficult to make significant progress. It's worth noting that even when configuring the same material, the optimal ratio is completely different each time."
"So, Mr. Zhuang, what is the best ratio?" Lin Feng asked.
"The best ratio is that after modulation, the beast blood energy is the strongest, but if you add a little more material, it will explode." said Zhuang Lao with a smile.
Lin Feng was speechless.
"Give it a try, this material of yours is clearly not in the optimal ratio, still far from it. The key is that the Golden Mouse's blood proportion is too low, you add some yourself. As for how much to add, you're on your own." Old Man Zhuang said with a smile.
"How can I grasp it?" Lin Feng asked.
"With care, it can be done." said Zhuang Lao with a smile.
Lin Feng nodded and took out an empty jade bottle again, then took out a vial of Xī Jīn Shǔ's blood.
Care is naturally referring to the use of spiritual power, or perceptual ability.
Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes, his senses concentrated on that one bottle of pink mixed beast blood.
A picture appeared in his mind.
It was still the jade bottle riding on the beast blood, but inside it was not pink beast blood, but dense white light spots. These white light spots were extremely evenly distributed, with exactly the same distance between them, and all the white light spots were lightly trembling, yet they looked extremely neat.
Those white light spots are the energy inside the mixed beast blood. Upon closer inspection, the light spots seem to have a faint pale green color.
“......”
Lin Feng could see it, and Zhuang Lao could also roughly feel it. However, he himself was also seeing such a scene for the first time, and after being shocked, he was speechless.
"He can actually see the energy in the beast's blood directly, this kid's potential... I still underestimated him!" Old Zhuang exclaimed in his heart.
He originally thought that Lin Feng would need to grope for a long time to find the best ratio, but now it seems... For this freakish kid, everything in the way of symbols doesn't seem to be a problem.
"What a pity! This young man doesn't want to inherit my legacy, nor does he want to acknowledge me as his master. If only he would let me be his teacher, the goal of defeating the Phantom Assassin with the Nightwalker's Blade might have been achieved in his hands."
"No way, I must think of a way to make him acknowledge me as his master." said Zhuang Lao quietly.
After a long time, Lin Feng opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "The energy of the Golden Mouse's blood is indeed less."
"Hmm, if it's less, then add a bit more." Old Man Zhuang smiled and said.
"I'll give it a try."
One hand held the jade bottle containing the pink mixed beast blood, while the other hand grasped the Blood of the Golden Mouse, Lin Feng closed his eyes once more, and the yuan force surged from his palms.
Two thin lines flew out simultaneously from the golden Blood Devouring Mouse's blood and the pink mixed beast blood, colliding in mid-air before quickly merging together. However, the thickness of the Blood Devouring Mouse's blood line was less than one-tenth that of the pink beast blood.
Two strands of beast blood essence merged rapidly and gently fell into the empty bottle. Lin Feng stopped urging his yuan power, then opened his eyes.
At this time, there was only a thin layer of blood inside the empty bottle, and the color was even more vibrant.
"I think this should be the best ratio." Lin Feng said softly.
"Isn't it the best ratio? Try it and you'll know." said Old Zhuang with a smile.
"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded, his left hand slightly moving, a drop of Golden Mouse blood flew out of the jade bottle and landed on top of another jade bottle containing a small amount of new mixed beast blood. Suddenly, it transformed into a faint mist of blood that fell into the jade bottle.
"Boom."
A deafening crash, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly burst out in the jade bottle.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss."
The entire jade vase instantly turned into countless sharp fragments and shot out in all directions, in an instant, the whole room was a mess.
However, the jade bottles filled with beast blood under Lin Feng's protection were intact and undamaged. Such an explosion had no effect on Lin Feng, and although the shards of the jade bottle were sharp, they could not cut through Lin Feng's powerful body.
"It seems like it's indeed the best ratio." Lin Feng smiled and said.
"Almost there." Old Zhuang laughed and said, "You've managed to configure the best ratio on your first try, kid. You can be proud of yourself."
"Hehe." Lin Feng also smiled. Indeed, this ratio was entirely based on his intuition, and he was able to achieve the optimal ratio, which made him very happy.
Undoubtedly, his strength in the way of symbols is all-around, and he is also strong enough in terms of material configuration.
"Kid, if you can mix all the materials in the best proportion, the equipment made will definitely be much better than what your cheap master has made. For example, the war armor, its weight will decrease by at least 10% and its defense power will increase by at least 20%." Old Man Zhuang said with a smile.
"Really?" Lin Feng heard it and was also extremely delighted.
If the heavy cavalry's equipment can be upgraded, it will be extremely important for the Lu Yun Sect. Lin Feng was naturally overjoyed to be able to achieve this.
"Continue." Lin Feng's handsome face was full of smiles, and he took out another empty jade bottle. Then, with both hands simultaneously urging the yuan force, a golden beast blood line and a pink beast blood line flew out at the same time, merged in mid-air, and fell into the empty jade bottle.
The second floor of the Night Crow Inn occasionally echoed with muffled explosions, and a waiter came up to see what was going on, but was directly knocked back by Lin Feng with a large pile of gold coins.
Inside the room, Lin Feng was quickly preparing a kind of material. For each new material, he directly verified whether it had reached its limit through destructive explosions. Once he grasped the correct proportion, with his soul's strength, configuring according to a fixed proportion would not pose any problems.
Each time it was forced out of the fine lines of beast blood in the air, so this speed would not be too fast. By the time all the materials were configured, it was already deep into the night.
This uninterrupted setup had also consumed a lot of Lin Feng's spiritual energy, but seeing the materials inside the storage space emitting intense elemental fluctuations, Lin Feng was extremely happy despite being extremely exhausted.
"These materials should be enough to make equipment for about eighty people. Once I return to Wulin City and grasp a complete set of symbol arrays, I should also be able to manufacture Symbol Dao equipment. At that time, I'll know what effects these materials have."
"The equipment for the eighty-man squad, just the beast blood materials alone cost me over five million, and then there's the large amount of precious metals needed... a set of Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry equipment is really not cheap."
Within the territory of Luoyun Sect, there are many masters, but the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry has always had only 5,000 people. Every test would ruthlessly eliminate a large number of strong practitioners, and even Tiger Fist's fifth and sixth levels of strong practitioners would be eliminated. Now Lin Feng also understood the reason behind it.
There is only one Fu Shi, which is one aspect, and the expensive equipment is also a reason. With the financial resources of Luoyun Sect, it's probably impossible to let Wen Hou mass-produce Fu Dao equipment, let alone buy Fu Dao equipment from outside.
There are enough Black Stallions in Tianma Forest, but Luoyun Sect doesn't have enough Symbol Dao equipment, so it's impossible to deploy more Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry.
"When I become a Symbol Master, I will definitely mass-produce Symbol Dao equipment, allowing the sect to have the ability to expand its Xuan Armor Heavy Cavalry. If Luoyun Sect can have tens of thousands of Xuan Armor Heavy Cavalry, sweeping across the southern regions would be absolutely unproblematic."
"But this requires a lot of resources, hopefully in the future I will have enough ability to provide sufficient equipment for the sect."
With a wave of his hand, all the jade bottles were put away, Lin Feng lay down on the bed and fell asleep happily.
In his dream, Lin Feng saw himself become a warrior, with thousands of black-armored heavy cavalry under his command, galloping across the vast land like the wind.
By his side was a white heavenly horse with wings on its back, and on the horse's back stood a serene and elegant purple-robed girl, who was none other than Ye Zi.
