Chapter 145 Living Spirit Refining
"Fire is raging"!
After briefly describing the structure of the alchemy circle, Zhang Qi tapped the shelf next to him with his wand. The clay crucible used for melting flew to the shelf and began to heat up.
Taking advantage of the heating, Zhang Qi began to fine-tune the structure of the alchemical matrix.
This is a meticulous job, but Zhang Qi does not feel too much pressure.
It's as if this kind of thing has already become easy for me.
What Zhang Qi is describing now is what he saw on the worn-out parchment before - the refining of living things.
Most of the advanced alchemical weapons contain living beings. Some are created through alchemy, and some are directly sealed with human souls as the base to save trouble, and then modified.
Of course, if it is an alchemical weapon refined by the Dragon King, the living being inside is likely to be a pure-blood dragon who made a mistake.
The alchemical matrix that Zhang Qi is currently describing is a universal structure, which means it can be constructed using either foreign souls or oneself.
"Huh? This matrix is a bit interesting."
Zou Shu kept observing from the side. When he saw the complete configuration of the matrix, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Boy, where did you see this alchemical matrix?"
Zou Shu asked Zhang Qi.
"It was in an ancient book that was quite old. It was considered a banned book at Hogwarts. I accidentally dug it out in the library and then read it in my dormitory."
Zhang Qi answered, and the movements of his men stopped, because the general branches were completed.
Looking at the crucible next to him, he saw that the gold inside had melted. Zhang Qi waved his magic wand, and the crucible floated, slowly pouring the liquid gold into the magic circle.
The gold continued to flow along with the carved grooves, and then the liquid level slowly rose.
After a while, an alchemical matrix filled with mysterious characters appeared in front of the two of them.
Zhang Qi waved his magic wand again, and the iron that had been burned into molten iron was poured into the groove where it should stay.
The liquid metal began to slowly cool down. Zhang Qi took advantage of the fact that the metal had not completely solidified, picked up the red crystal on the tray, and inserted it into the groove reserved in the center of the array.
The moment the red crystal was inserted into the groove, countless bright lights sounded, and the soft light surged along the lines of the matrix like blood being transported in the blood vessels.
From the lower end of the red crystal to the branch tips at the end of the matrix, the soft light kept surging, and it slowly disappeared after about 5 minutes.
The occurrence of this situation means that the alchemical matrix is operating normally, the energy flow is very smooth, and there are no irregularities in the line engraving.
"Hey, you're really a genius. You were able to draw the alchemy matrix almost perfectly for the first time. Are you interested in studying alchemy in the future?"
Mr. Zou looked at the magic circle carved on the ground and exclaimed in surprise.
"Let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity. The top priority is to get this done first. Do you want to comment now?"
Zhang Qi said with a smile.
"Well, let me be healthy."
Zou Shu took out a wooden glasses case from his spacious sleeves, opened it, put on a pair of reading glasses, then squatted on the ground and began to examine it carefully.
But the more carefully he looked, the weirder his expression became, gradually taking on a hint of fanaticism.
In the end, the old man simply leaned on the ground with one hand and lay facelessly on the ground. He held a magnifying glass in the other hand and carefully observed inch by inch.
"Uh, old man"?
Zhang Qi felt very embarrassed when he saw Mr. Zou looking so imageless.
"This array of yours is really strange. I never thought that the matrix could be used normally if it was combined according to this structure"!
The old man got up from the ground at this time, then patted the dust on his hands, and said in great surprise:
"This alchemical matrix uses a very rare method - it is driven by spiritual power, and then changes the arrangement, so that an ordinary object can have its own consciousness"...
"Stop, stop, stop, old man, what you said is a bit profound. Can you please explain it simply?"
Zhang Qi interrupted Mr. Zou knowingly, and then asked:
"I copied this formation perfectly. I don't know its function yet. Can you explain it?"
"This matrix can give consciousness to dead objects. Of course, if this object is just an ordinary object, then this consciousness will not have its own personality, but if this object is entrusted with some strong will"...
"Then maybe we can create an alchemical creature"?
Zhang Qi asked.
"It is possible, but it is very difficult. If you want to create a new alchemical creature, then the spirit entrusted to that object must be very strong, such as a butcher knife that has chopped off thousands of heads on the execution ground. This kind of object can only It is possible to give birth to your own consciousness”…
"But if it is an object like a butcher knife, the consciousness born through this alchemical matrix must also love killing, right?"
Zhang Qi frowned after hearing this.
"Yes, the consciousness that is born must be based on that object, but I feel that this alchemy circle can be used to enchant weapons. There is no will on newly manufactured weapons, so it can be said to be absolutely safe."
"Do you have a knife or something on you? Just bring one to me."
Zou Shu rummaged through his pocket and took out only a pen, then said to Zhang Qi.
"Ah, I don't have a knife. Can a big knife be used?"
Zhang Qi put his hand into the pocket where he had cast the space extension spell, touched it and said with a strange expression.
"Well, that's okay."
Zou Shu said without looking back.
Hearing this, Zhang Qi held the thing in his pocket and took it out.
"Good guy, this Western sword looks like a concierge item, but it's probably a Xibei product. The appearance is quite rough... But this iron cross is quite real. I've seen a real iron cross before. This one It can be said to be exactly the same as what I have seen before”…
The old man took the Western sword, held it in his hand and observed it for a while, marveling at it.
"It will take about 10 days for this matrix to take effect. If you are not in a hurry, you can put the sword here first and come back to get it after you go home to celebrate the New Year."
The old man inserted the sword into the center of the matrix, and all the light began to gather toward the sword, beating like a blood vessel that provided nutrition to the embryo.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaolin told you that after you leave here, go directly to the Military Museum. Someone is waiting for you there."
Zou Shu seemed to have remembered something, and after finishing the operation, he hurriedly said to Zhang Qi.
