Chapter 45: Alchemist of the Weapon Refining Department
The profession of alchemist is unfamiliar to Li Si. He has been here for more than a month and this is the first time he heard about it today.
In fact, alchemists are a very mysterious and noble profession. The number of alchemists is less than the emperors of all the countries in the Soul Continent combined. The status of alchemists has always been above that of soul fighters, whether ordinary people or nobles.
, when you see a soul fighter, you should all respect him as "master", and when you see a soul fighter, no matter what level you are, you should also respect an alchemist as "master".
Of course, this is because of the scarcity of alchemists, but also because of the magical skills of alchemists. The strongest point of soul fighters is that they can summon souls to fight, and the weakness of soul fighters is also obvious. They have to use their mental power to fight.
Manipulating souls is basically equivalent to Zhuge Liang opening the city gate and performing an empty city strategy. The problem is that Sima Yi will be suspicious, and if it is placed on the Soul Fighter, it means that everyone knows that it is an empty city strategy. If the Soul Fighter is approached by someone,
Death is inevitable, which is the fundamental reason why so many soul fighters were killed by alien monsters when the Person Guild retreated into the fortress.
What is the role of the guards? The guards are to protect the soul fighters personally. When in danger, the guards have to sacrifice themselves, just like bodyguards, but no matter what, the role of the guards is limited.
If a Soul Fighter possesses an armor made by an alchemist, it can save his life in critical moments, just like the flame armor made by Nangong Xiao, which makes even third-level monsters retreat.
Alchemists are divided into two systems. Those who mainly refine elixirs are called alchemists; those who mainly make items are called weapon refiners. Obviously, Nangong Xiao is a weapon refiner.
There is vast energy in the soul crystal, which soul fighters cannot absorb and use, but alchemists can. They can combine some strange items to make potions and pills, which can increase the soul fighter's cultivation level and can
The energy in the soul crystal can be exported to make weapons and equipment, or refined into pills to help the alchemist replenish his spiritual power. In history, an alchemist named Jiang Yazi once made a chariot and destroyed an invading army.
The army of the motherland is the alchemist, an almost omnipotent profession. One of their creations often changes the development of society and promotes civilization.
After Nangong Xiao claimed to be an alchemist, Han Na and Tang Chuan's expressions immediately changed and became respectful. Only Li Si, who was illiterate, still didn't take it seriously and didn't think the alchemist was so great.
Nangong Xiao continued: "These weapons are made by me and my disciples. We use fire soul crystals. To be honest, a piece of soul crystal can make a set of armor, but among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth,
Only the fire element has the strongest attack power, and the others can only be used for other purposes, so when I say three soul crystals, it is actually the most conservative estimate. That’s it for now. If you think it’s still unacceptable, then we have no choice but to
Say sorry."
Li Si laughed and said: "Mr. Nangong, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly. Let's discuss it later. How about each of us take a step back and exchange two soul crystals for one piece of equipment?"
Nangong Xiao smiled and said nothing. Captain Wumeng, who had been acting as a puppet next to him, sneered: "Master Li Si, do you think this is buying food at the vegetable market?" Nangong Xiaomei also snorted in response, with a face full of contempt.
.
Li Si hated other people's cynicism the most, of course, Mei Niu was an exception. He gave a fake smile and retorted: "When the country is facing a crisis, there is nothing shameful about me fighting for a small profit for tens of thousands of people. I am not doing it for myself alone."
, Captain Wumeng must understand this."
Wumeng said unceremoniously: "Of course we know that Master Li Si is upright and honest, but there is no need to use these high-sounding hats to pressure people. Master Nangong says whatever he says will be whatever it is, and it will not change. If Master Li Si can't make the decision,
, you can go back and discuss it."
As if his brain was ignited, Li Si stood up and said angrily: "I am telling you politely, what kind of attitude do you have! Why are you interrupting when I am talking to Mr. Nangong! Why don't you stay where you are?"
"
Wumeng's face suddenly turned pale, he stood up without giving in, and said sternly: "I said, what Master Nangong said will not change. Don't bully others just because you are a soul fighter. Although I am only an ordinary person, I can't change it."
Not afraid of you!"
Han Na and Tang Chuan hurriedly stood up and held Li Si on the left and right. Han Na said: "Li Si, Master Nangong has already said that this is the most conservative estimate. How could he lie to us? Don't mess around and disturb Master Nangong."
The two dragged him out and apologized to Nangong Xiao as they exited.
As soon as he came out, Li Si acted as if nothing was wrong and asked in a low voice: "Vice president, why do you call him Master Nangong Xiaosaku? Who is he?"
Both Han Na and Tang Chuan were not used to the sudden change in his mood and were stunned for a moment. Han Na briefly introduced the status of the alchemist in the Soul Continent. Li Si was surprised and said: "Wait a minute, you just said about absorbing soul crystals."
By the energy in it, you mean that those flame armors and flamethrowers were made by the alchemist Nangong Xiao. He wanted fire soul crystals. In other words, the fire energy in the flamethrowers and flame armors was made from soul crystals.
It’s here! I can also absorb the energy from the soul crystal!”
Before Han Na and Tang Chuan could speak, they heard a cry of surprise from the wooden shed. Nangong Xiao walked out of it, looked Li Si up and down, and said, "You just said that you can also absorb the energy from the soul crystal?
"
Li Si seemed to have thought of something, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Mr. Nangong, can we talk again?"
…
No one expected that after Li Si had a secret conversation with Nangong Xiao, they immediately brought back three sets of flame armor and three flamethrowers. Immediately afterwards, Li Si proposed a second phase of the project to be built specifically for the Demon Sword Mercenary Group near a remote livestock farm.
A separate residential building was surrounded by a high wall and opened a door. This kind of treatment was not even given by the military. People couldn't help but talk about it and speculate about the origins of those unsociable Ancheng people. Soon, the demon sword mercenary
The secret of the regiment spread throughout the valley area, because weapons and equipment were constantly being transported from it, and the first to obtain these equipment were the Soul Fighter's guards.
Han Na and Fang De were all overjoyed, seeing a powerful guard armed to the teeth being equipped like this. With this combination, plus several of their soul fighters, if they were in the Person Fortress back then,
, you can definitely rush out and show off your power. Han Na's soul is a blue-scaled unicorn, a sixth-level soul. In addition to the auxiliary instinctive soul skills of trampling, burning and ice rockets, it can not only be used as the main force of the attack, but also
Li Si's giant tree warriors assist Li Si in fighting together. Although Zhuo Ai's Soul Jade Bow Angel is low-level, her first soul skill, Ice Arrow, is extremely powerful and can be used as a trump card. Sophie's aerial chrysanthemum is also quite powerful.
, the petal bomb can attack alone or in groups. Fang De's third-level flying pig is not a decoration. The first soul skill is a small replenishment of energy, the second soul skill is a medium replenishment of energy, and the third soul skill is a medium replenishment of energy.
But it is a very practical crystal barrier, which can help add a layer of protective cover to the souls of one's side. With such a team, coupled with the guards who can attack and defend, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
They were happy, but at this time Li Si became a hard worker.
Nangong Xiao's subsequent condition was two soul crystals in exchange for a set of equipment, but Li Si had to help Nangong Xiao do things. That day, Nangong Xiao took out a soul crystal before renegotiating, and Li Si absorbed the soul crystal in front of him.
With the energy, Nangong Xiao agreed to his previous conditions without hesitation.
Nangong Xiao was so excited that his eyes shone when he looked at Li Si. Fortunately, he was a man and an old man, otherwise Li Si would have misunderstood.
The physique that can absorb energy from soul crystals is one in a million. It is extremely rare. The most important thing for an instrument-refining alchemist like Nangong Xiao is not only to use precise alchemy formations to create artifacts, but also soul crystals.
The energy in the demon sword mercenary group is indispensable. There are highly skilled blacksmiths, brave and capable mercenaries, and masters who specialize in forging and carving alchemy circles, but none of them can channel the energy in the soul crystal.
Although Nangong Xiao can do it himself, it requires a lot of energy. A piece of flame armor is sent from the blacksmith, and then someone specially carves the alchemy circle. In this way, the flame armor is basically formed. The most important thing is
The first step is to introduce the energy in the soul crystal into the alchemy circle, thereby activating the armor. All steps have formed a pipeline operation, and the speed is not slow. However, after completing this last step, Nangong Xiao needs to
It took several days of rest to recover, which was what bothered him the most. Now that he saw Li Si did it easily, how could he not be overjoyed?
In fact, if Li Si told the old man that the inner strength cultivated in his body was an inexhaustible energy source, the old man would definitely go crazy with joy.
Alchemists in this world can only extract energy from soul crystals, but they can never store the energy of soul crystals in the sea of Qi in Dantian like Li Si. In other words, Li Si's internal power has been combined with the soul due to the transformation of the test crystal.
The crystal energy was fused together, and his energy attribute is also a rare attribute beyond the five elements. Later, because he absorbed the soul crystal energy of the fire-attributed Scorpion Monster, his current energy is slightly inclined to the fire attribute. Therefore, for
Making flame armor is a piece of cake.
Originally, Li Si was not willing to work for Nangong Xiao, but he heard all kinds of magic about alchemists from Han Na, and his heart was filled with endless yearning. To him, what kind of alchemist was that? He was clearly an inventor! Not to mention him.
The unique physique he possesses is a necessary condition for an alchemist in the weapon refining department. If he has such a unique talent and does not take advantage of it, it will be a waste.
