Chapter 311: A Simple Lift Results in... Light Energy Aggregation!
On the other side, Han Yu led everyone to the Gamma Open-Air Refining Arena. The starry sky was brilliant, and the Milky Way was dazzling. Despite it being night, the area was exceptionally bright.
"Let me talk about what I've been up to lately." Once they reached the familiar refining arena, Jiang Lin looked around at the familiar faces and then took out the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler from his back. "I know you must be very curious and surprised. I didn't expect that such a simple attempt at refining would cause such a stir."
"Young friend, this is not just simple refining. A few days ago, I saw the light from here even from the Imperial City," Jia Xing Tian said, a slightly helpless smile appearing on his aged face.
The light Jia Xing Tian referred to was when Jiang Lin used the Strange Fire. The Qing Xuan Cauldron couldn't contain the terrifying energy explosion, and the fire shot into the sky, burning through the roof of the refining room. Although the process was brief, it was night at the time, and the Strange Fire tornado didn't completely burn through the ceiling, but its finer energy waves shot into the sky, creating a fleeting yet magnificent aurora in the sky above the Gamma Imperial City.
"Huh? Such a big noise?" Jiang Lin was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that such a simple tinkering would cause such a big commotion.
"Heh." Fama and Jia Xing Tian exchanged a glance and smiled. Although the light had flashed and vanished, they were both Dou Huang-level experts, capable of sensing the origin of such an energy beam. After a quick inquiry, they found out that someone from the Gamma Weapon Refining Guild had been using Strange Fire to refine a weapon.
"Alright, I did get lucky and complete an experiment. This, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler," Jiang Lin said generously, directly handing over the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler, which still contained Yao Chen's soul, to Jia Xing Tian and the others.
Weapon Spirit - Yao Chen: ???
"You're truly straightforward!" Jia Xing Tian and Fama were slightly stunned at Jiang Lin's generosity, but quickly smiled. The two, along with Han Yu, eagerly began to explore the beautiful and simple lines of the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler. However, Han Yu appeared puzzled. "This Xuan Qi quality is excellent. Although I don't know the exact internal structure, from the confident craftsmanship, it surely isn't lacking. But why does this Xuan Qi feel... like it's a living thing?"
"Eh?" Jia Xing Tian and the others exchanged glances and nodded. "That's strange. We also feel the same way. Could it be...?"
It seemed that they had come up with a terrifying guess. Shock appeared in their eyes, but they quickly dismissed it. A spiritual weapon? Impossible!
Jiang Lin naturally saw the chaotic guesses in their minds and quickly explained, "What you're feeling is true, but this is not the legendary spiritual weapon. I used some forging techniques from soul artifacts. You probably haven't heard much about soul artifacts. Hulei's master, my ancestor, was a master of soul artifacts, and Hulei taught me some techniques related to soul artifacts." Jiang Lin's words were not a lie, as the second part of the Soul Refining Sutra was essentially the core techniques of soul artifacts.
"...?" Yao Chen, inside the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler, blinked. How did he get sold out so easily by this mischievous little spirit from the Spirit Clan?
Just as Yao Chen was unsure of Jiang Lin's intentions and whether he should take action to protect himself, he heard Jiang Lin's voice: "Not long ago, I visited Yunlan Sect, and from the Sect Master there, I obtained some inheritance from the former president, Senior Xuan Xing. I got a formation and also a Soul Gold Stone."
As soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, Yao Chen's heart trembled. He seemed to have guessed what Jiang Lin was planning.
"Soul Gold Stone?" Fama exclaimed in surprise and immediately said, "Could that formation be the Beast Spirit Formation?"
At the same time, Jia Xing Tian also turned to Jiang Lin with a look of recognition and amazement. Clearly, Jia Xing Tian also knew of the Beast Spirit Formation!
Seeing the reactions of the two Gamma Dou Huang experts, Jiang Lin was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that Senior Xuan Xing would be so famous. But it worked out for the best, as he didn't have to explain further. He continued with his plan: "It is indeed the Beast Spirit Formation. The Soul Gold Stone should be a fragment of the soul left by Senior Xuan Xing when he set up the formation, so I used that fragment of soul and applied some soul artifact techniques to integrate it into this Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler."
"And that fragment of soul is quite powerful. It should be the core of a six-tier formation left by Senior Xuan Xing. If the Beast Spirit Formation is activated, it should have the strength of a Dou Huang."
"...?" At this moment, Yao Chen inside the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler fell silent. He was supposed to be a wandering ghost in this world, hidden from the light. But now, someone was giving him a new identity! Someone was validating his existence!
As long as he didn't reveal his name, Yao Chen, no one would target him, including the Soul Hall!
Why?
Because this was the endorsement of the Weapon Refining Guild!
"You used that soul to refine a weapon?" Fama looked at the exquisite and simple Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand, his throat involuntarily tightening. What could he say? He wondered if he should mention how Jiang Lin had used such a precious item for weapon refining.
Even Jia Xing Tian and Han Yu, after hearing that Jiang Lin had used a Soul Gold Stone that could trigger the strength of a Dou Huang in a weapon, felt a bit speechless.
"What are you all looking like? I'm quite powerful too! It's not a waste of a heaven-defying treasure! I used some of the techniques from the Beast Spirit Formation in this Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler, so this weapon, even without anyone controlling it, can still unleash an attack with Dou Huang-level strength. Come on, show them!"
Seeing that the others seemed to doubt him, Jiang Lin immediately gestured to Fama, who was holding the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler. With everyone watching, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler steadied itself in the air.
Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler: "..."
Fama and the others: "???"
"This thing can move by itself?" Jia Xing Tian asked in disbelief.
"It's simple, just like a puppet. This is automation technology. Come on, hurry up and show off to the elders. Sorry, but these souls are usually a bit slow-witted, so don't expect it to fight on its own."
With Jiang Lin's repeated calls, Yao Chen finally realized that "Little Fire" was calling him. The Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler swayed slightly and, with Dou Qi enveloping its body, swiftly flew from Fama's hands, hovering upside down above Jiang Lin's head.
Then, under the vast starry sky, as Jiang Lin suddenly raised his hand:
"Light Energy Aggregation!"
Boom!
