The refining of the Life Replacement Circle was nearing completion, and everyone was busy.

In particular, the supply of various raw materials is somewhat stretched.

At this time, Chen Qi took the initiative to ask Ying to mine, and naturally received some praise and a green light all the way.

If it weren't for the fact that the other candidates were too weak, the three examiners would have to call on everyone to learn from Chen Qi.

……

"Xiaobai, wake up, it's time to work!"

After leaving the Sea Kite, Chen Qi woke up Xiaobai, who had turned into a bracelet, again.

I don't know if Xiaobai's spirituality has become stronger after it has increased, or if it has learned the unity of heaven and man from Coulix.

Anyway, once Xiaobai falls into a deep sleep now, it will be difficult for even Chen Qi to find out that it is a source mine.

Chen Qi had been hanging around the Sea Kite with the bracelet for so long, and he hadn't seen anyone take a second look.

"Bang, bang!"

The awakened little white turned into a silver-white snake again and merged into the steel force.

Then it ran around happily with the steps of its six relatives that it did not recognize.

Obviously, now Xiaobai has become fond of sports and does not like to sleep.

……

If you want to mine, of course, you must first find mine.

The Ascension Island is extremely huge, and Caroline and the others have inherited some map materials from the Extreme Dao Organization.

However, it takes a lot of twists and turns to find specific resource mines.

This is also the reason why the supply of raw materials is becoming more and more difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that Shengxian Island was really rich in resources, and all kinds of extraordinary mineral veins could be seen everywhere, Senior Sister Feng's incomparably complex and huge life replacement array would really not be able to be built in three and five years.

Chen Qi didn't plan to wander around blindly following the unreliable markings on the map.

Looking for mining, he naturally has a trick.

……

"Xiaobai, you have a good mouth today!"

"Taste, this is all saved by cutting corners for you when I was working."

"There are 79 extraordinary metals, and this is not a man-made one."

"They are conceived after the Ascension Island devoured the essence of heaven and earth, and they are truly pure and natural and pollution-free."

"You taste two bites first, which one tastes better, let's dig it."

Chen Qi took out a pack of extraordinary metal powder with a painful face, and several 10 kinds of extraordinary metals were mixed together, exuding a magnificent and dazzling color, which was very beautiful.

Xiaobai took the packet of powder in his hand and looked at it.

The next moment, it casually inhaled the metal powder, which immediately turned into a brilliant rainbow and sank into Cowlux's body.

"Hey, didn't you eat it all, but Colossus even absorbed a little?"

"Of the 19 kinds, Colux absorbs 19 trace amounts of extraordinary metal elements."

Chen Qi originally planned to let Xiaobai eat these transcendent metals and generate a special induction to find the ore veins.

I didn't expect there to be unexpected surprises.

……

After Chen Qi was promoted to the Transcendent, he spent a lot of time studying Coulix.

Especially after becoming more and more stupid and unable to play with this toy, Chen Qi put his mind on cracking its material.

It's a pity that Coulix is worthy of being a commodity from the Qingtian Empire, even if it is just a special toy, the material used Chen Qi has never seen.

It's incredibly tough, it's incredibly strong, but it's not an extraordinary metal.

At least Chen Qi didn't sense the transcendent characteristics in Coloss's 3600 gears.

But the scene that just happened proved that Chen Qi was completely blinded before.

Colux is able to devour extraordinary metal elements, and its material cannot be ordinary metal.

As for what it was, Chen Qi didn't know.

Even if Chen Qi learned the basics of alchemy, he didn't get an answer from it.

……

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Perhaps because of the delicious food, Xiaobai finally uttered the first complete syllable of human language.

At that moment, Chen Qi felt that his previous efforts were completely in vain.

It's good to know what to eat, so that you have the motivation to work hard.

Sure enough, as if sensing something, a series of electric sparks flashed on Colosse's body, and then grabbed the ground under his feet.

In the next moment, countless firefly-like points of light floated out of the earth and were devoured by Coulix.

"I'll go, it turns out that I have transcendent metal under my feet."

"This Ascending Immortal Island is really a treasure everywhere!"

Chen Qi, who watched Xiaobai's operation, was dumbfounded, is it so easy to find minerals?

Thinking about the way those old students look every day, Chen Qi felt that he had to keep a low profile.

……

After devouring the transcendent metal here, Xiao Bai was obviously very dissatisfied.

In the next moment, electric sparks flickered, and Colossus was suspended in the air, flying into the distance.

Obviously, this is Xiaobai sensing other extraordinary metals.

Sure enough, three minutes later, Xiaobai stopped over a mound.

The next action was the same as before, and as soon as Colossus grabbed the ground below with both hands, the extraordinary metals buried in the depths of the earth flew out like alarmed fireflies.

The amount of this wave of transcendent metals is hundreds of times that of the previous one.

It took Xiaobai 5 minutes to eat up more than 100,000 fireflies.

If it is converted into weight, this wave of mining extraordinary metals must be at least hundreds of kilograms.

"Good, good, eat more!"

"Don't worry, let's eat enough today!"

Chen Qi originally planned to mine the extraordinary metal enough to intersect, so he went to conduct his own nuclear iron experiment.

But now, Xiaobai's eating is the most important.

……

That's it, Xiaobai flew all the way and ate all the way, very high.

But no matter how much transcendent metal Xiaobai ate, Coulix's body shape did not change at all.

If the only thing that has changed, it is probably only the fit between Xiaobai and Colossus.

At the beginning, when Xiaobai used his own ability, Sparkle would flash on his body.

Now, everything is natural, and there is no more energy leakage.

"Awesome, awesome!"

"With Xiaobai, I will never lack all kinds of extraordinary metals in the future."

"The only regret is that Xiaobai can only find and extract them after eating certain transcendent metals first."

"Although it seems that there are a lot of foods along the way, there are still only 79 kinds of species."

"But no matter what, I don't lose this wave!"

Xiao Bai flew deeper and deeper into the dense forest, going around all the way, and Chen Qi didn't know where he was now.

Fortunately, the signal between him and the Sea Kite was not interrupted, but he didn't have to worry about not being able to return home.

Xiaobai's meal lasted for three hours, and although Coulix still didn't seem to have changed, it had already devoured 49 transcendent metal elements.

As for Xiaobai, it has indeed grown in size, and it has changed from the thickness of chopsticks to the thickness of a thumb.

As for the weight, it didn't add much.

Xiaobai's so-called eating is not the kind of food of ordinary life, but a kind of material replacement.

It wasn't until today that Chen Qi realized that he didn't know as much about the source mine as he thought he was.

Xiaobai's so-called eating is simply an extremely subtle alchemy reaction.

Chen Qi watched with wide eyes all the way, which was really an eye-opener.

After this wave of learning, his alchemy was sublimated again.

Some of the ideas and inspirations in my heart before have finally turned into spells.

……

"Bang, bang!"

It seemed that he had reached the limit, and Colossus, who was originally flying in the sky, fell in front of Chen Qi again, running in circles.

"Can't eat?"

"I can't sleep if I want to!"

"Exercise more after meals to help with digestion."

"This Shengxian Island is our blessed land, it's not easy to come here, how can I bring more local products."

"Fill this ring and we'll be home!"

Chen Qi shook the Tirado Ancient Ring in his hand, this spatial treasure increased a lot with the increase in Chen Qi's spiritual frequency.

Now there are only a few items in it, which is too shabby, so I need to decorate something.

So Xiaobai started a new wave of work.

This time, it shook both hands, and the colorful fireflies that flew out of the earth turned into pieces of extraordinary metal.

Chen Qi put it into the space ring with a smile on his face.

It's been sent, it has been sent!

In the future, the living expenses in the Heavenly Witchcraft Academy are finally available.

In this way, all the way to the search, Chen Qile blossomed.

It's a pity that there are always "bad guys" who can't see others happy, Chen Qi's space ring has just been half installed, and trouble is coming.

……

"Boom!"

A pillar of red energy suddenly attacked, this pillar of light was so vast and swift, directly enveloping Xiao Bai and Chen Qi who were mining.

After the red light, a magma cave with a diameter of 10 meters appeared on the ground.

The figures of Chen Qi and Xiaobai slowly floated above the cave, unharmed.

"Incredible, incredible!"

"Xiaobai, you have really grown up."

At the moment when the attack came, Chen Qi planned to take Xiaobai to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai reacted faster than him.

Chen Qi only felt that the gravity of the surrounding space changed for a moment, and then the terrifying pillar of energy light was deflected.

The attack and Chen Qi passed by, which seemed to be very dangerous, but the two seemed to be separated by the ends of the world.

"Has it affected the space?"

"This must not only be Xiaobai's strength, it must be related to Coloss."

It's a pity that Xiaobai's play seems to be just a flash in the pan, and in the next moment, it used up all its energy and stopped eating directly.

If it weren't for Chen Qi holding it in his hand, I am afraid that it would have fallen directly into the magma cave.

……

"Orcs?"

Chen Qi looked in the direction where the attack came from, and a giant snake full of centipede legs appeared in his field of vision.

From this guy's body, Chen Qi sensed the aura of powerful bronze blood.

The orcs in the second ring area are indeed much more powerful than the outer ring area.

"Just in time!"

"I'm worried that I can't find a suitable lifeform to refine nuclear iron!"

By giving Sister Caroline a hand, Chen Qi learned a lot about the alchemy of life.

One of them is the taboo on the refining of nuclear iron.

……

"Be in awe of life, and never treat life as a material for mere existence."

According to Caroline, every individual life is independent and loved by heaven and earth.

Refining nuclear iron through the mass destruction of life will sooner or later be countered by heaven and earth.

Because refining nuclear iron is not only destroying life, but extracting the basic substrate that makes up life, which is an extremely selfish and evil act.

All things are born and destroyed, and the law of the jungle eats the strong, destroying other living things for their own survival, which is in line with the way of nature.

However, if in order to satisfy one's own selfish desires, one plunders the survival essence of other beings, it is against the way of heaven.

In the beginning, there was no such taboo in alchemy.

But as time passed, the consequences soon became apparent.

Those [creators] who destroyed hundreds of millions of living beings at every turn and refined powerful nuclear iron encountered ominous experiences in their later years.

In the end, after the research of the alchemists, it was found that it was their wanton destruction of life and refining nuclear iron that violated a taboo that existed between heaven and earth.

Some people call it Mother Nature, others call it the Wrath of Nature, and some ancient civilizations define it as the original sin of intelligent life.

Anyway, since then, alchemists have had the constraint of reverence for life.

In particular, alchemists who cultivate the alchemy of life are strictly required to do so.

Even some schools of life alchemy require cultivators to take spiritual vows as self-restraint.

……

After learning about this taboo, Chen Qi reflected on himself.

Then he wanted to cry bitterly.

Because he used to refine nuclear iron, he used to cut himself.

Saints are nothing more than that.

His only act of mass destruction was to use a fully automatic herb mower to make herb pills.

But the Baicao Pill only involves the vitality and does not touch the essence of life, so there should be no problem.

If this kind of behavior is really in trouble, then the automatic weed wover will not be manufactured as a civilian commodity.

In fact, Chen Qi has always felt that refining nuclear iron is a bit too evil.

So he took it for granted.

You can't massively exterminate ordinary life to refine nuclear iron, so it's better to pick the big one.

That's what they did.

Chen Qi came out this time because he planned to find a powerful life body to practice.

The orcs with extraordinary bloodlines were automatically sent to the door, which was really suitable.

……

"Spell Iron Smelter!"

Just being beaten and not fighting back, this is not in line with Chen Qi's demeanor at all.

He had just realized a spell, and he was practicing his hands at this time.

Chen Qi grabbed it with his left hand, and in the next moment, a giant hand that covered the sky and the sun was projected into the sky above the big snake.

Unable to resist, the serpent was grabbed by a giant hand.

And at the moment when the palms of the hands were closed, dense incantations appeared on the five huge psionic fingers.

The incantation was imprinted on the serpent's body as the palm of his hand closed.

"Ah, wicked human!"

The flames were blazing, the red light flickered, and Chen Qi's extended energy palm seemed to be able to melt everything.

By the time the psionic palm dissipated, there was already an extra pea-sized piece of nuclear iron in the palm of Chen Qi's left hand.

The nuclear iron is covered with patterns, but this is a kind of seal from the alchemist.

It's just that it is not applied to the surface of nuclear iron, but is integrated into it when refining nuclear iron, turning into a natural pattern.

In the ancient cultivation era, it was called a ban or treasure ban.

It is precisely because of the existence of these lines that nuclear iron can exist stably without being assimilated into a material field or a living magnetic field.

When it is time to use it, it can also flexibly convert nuclear iron into a material field or a life magnetic field through these lines.

……

"As early as when I was in the Blue Taro Country, I realized that if you want to refine nuclear iron, you must combine the four phenomena of spiritual annihilation, the collapse of the life magnetic field, the destruction of will, and the disintegration of genetic material at the moment of death."

"And in the end, it is just to collect the power generated when life dies and reshape the matrix of life."

"It's a pity that after the remodeling, all that remains is some substrate, and life itself is gone."

"At that time, I couldn't perfectly capture the four phenomena and smelt them, but it was because of the lack of psionic intervention."

"Under normal circumstances, when life dies, those four phenomena occur one after another, and it is impossible to achieve perfect harmony."

"But the alchemists have intervened with the four phenomena with incomparably subtle techniques by introducing psionic energy, forcibly making them synchronized."

"I have to say that Senior Sister Caroline took good care of me, and the alchemy formula she used when refining was not hidden from me at all, otherwise it would be almost impossible for me to figure it out on my own."

"I can refine nuclear iron, and I am now a qualified alchemist."

"Of course, there is still a little bit of a gap in the accumulation of alchemy knowledge."

Chen Qi looked at the nuclear iron in his palm and was very satisfied.

It's getting late, the mission of the trip is complete, and it's time to go home.

However, I don't know if it was because the movement just now was too big, Chen Qi was about to evacuate when a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

……

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"Delicious!"

It is a huge black mushroom that is 100 meters high.

The strange thing is that it turned into a human form, not only with human facial features and limbs, but also able to speak human language.

The moment the mushroom man appeared, he grabbed Chen Qi.

Poor Chen Qi did not resist at all, and was directly grabbed by the huge mushroom man in the palm of his hand and stuffed into his stomach.

In the next moment, a terrifying explosion sounded, and the black mushroom man directly turned into black smoke.

But what is extremely strange is that the black smoke everywhere that was dispersed by the shock wave was actually swallowed up by the surrounding trees.

More precisely, the black smoke burrowed into the trees.

In the next moment, the huge mushroom man appeared out of thin air again.

But this time, it seemed to be jealous of Chen Qi and did not dare to attack.

……

"This thing is the monster that the senior sisters encountered when they captured the grass return pill before?"

"That weird way of disappearing and moving, it's Mu Dun!"

"Weave the living magnetic field of the surrounding trees into a web and move within it."

"Yes, very good, can I say that I learned it after one look?"

When he was attacked by a sneak attack just now, Chen Qi turned a plant next to him into himself, and after planting a psionic bomb casually, he slipped away.

I didn't expect that mushroom man to be so stupid as to eat it in his stomach.

It's a pity that this guy's form of existence is a bit weird, and he didn't kill him.

Chen Qi looked at the mushroom man with interest, and he guessed why the other party was staring at him.

It's nothing more than that Chen Qi has mastered too many special spiritual abilities related to life.

Maybe in the eyes of these monsters, Chen Qi at this moment is even more powerful than Caohuandan.

"Spell Wood Escape!"

With a flicker of light, Chen Qi also transformed his own form, forcibly invading the huge network woven by the magnetic field of life in the surrounding plants.

When the mushroom man saw this, his face showed an incredible look.

In the next moment, Chen Qi had already appeared in front of him, and his right hand that exuded spiritual light quickly grabbed him.

"Spell Alchemy Bomb!"

As long as any life was touched by Chen Qi's right hand, its physical body would be forcibly transformed into a psionic bomb by Chen Qi.

Of course, due to the resistance of the life form itself, it is difficult to transform all of its physical bodies unless there is a huge difference in strength.

But the part that was touched by Chen Qi's right hand was absolutely impossible to be exempted, and this was the domineering thing about this spell!

This is a new spell created by Chen Qi combining alchemy and psionic bombs.
