Chapter 170 - Chapter 112 Smelting

Giving the jade talisman that entered the small valley to Huang Ye and the others was not a sudden idea from Zhongyuan. Zhongyuan knew very well that there were many people who knew about the existence of this small valley, and naturally there were also many people who wanted to have ideas about it. People's curiosity about unknown things has always been very strong.

To make Huang Ye and the others speculate about the small valley day and night, Zhong Yuan generously gave them the jade talisman they had entered. What is the real good thing in the small valley? They are all wearing it on Zhong Yuan's hand, and Zhong Yuan is very reassured. The main reason why Zhong Yuan made this decision is Liu Aiguo and his team. Zhong Yuan is very wary of Liu Aiguo and the things he represents. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking. Since you want to know what is in the small valley, why not let you see it.

Of course, everything has its limits. Everything is still within Zhongyuan's tolerance range. If one day something goes beyond Zhongyuan's tolerance range, Zhongyuan won't mind a small outburst.

This is the first time that Zhongyuan has been wandering in the spirit world on the back of a golden eagle without being invisible. As long as he sees more things, he becomes accustomed to them. There have been too many incredible things in the spirit world recently, and these people in the spirit world seem to have become numb. Many people have already seen Zhongyuan pointing and whispering on the ground, but there is no madness like the first time Zhongyuan appeared outside the forest while sitting on the back of a golden eagle. Zhong Yuan is very satisfied with this phenomenon and believes that it will not take long for people in the spiritual realm to get used to its existence.

Can people fly in the sky? What's so strange about that? You can see it in the spiritual realm. Is there a golden eagle that can carry people into space? That's not a big deal, there's also the spiritual realm. This is the environment that Zhongyuan deliberately wants to create, and it is normal for anything incredible to happen in the spiritual realm. That's right.

After circling around the sky a few times, Zhongyuan ordered the golden eagle to strike and disappear from the ancient tree, one by one, under the gaze of many people. After scanning the crowd outside the tree that had become a bit crazy due to this scene, Zhong Yuan shook his head. These people's acceptance ability still needs to be strengthened.

Returning to the small valley, Zhong Yuan allowed the golden eagle to move freely, and then he ran to the rocking chair at the entrance of the cave and lay down. With a flip of his hand, the meteorite that had been carved much worse appeared in Zhong Yuan's hand. It had been a long time since he had carved this meteorite. If he hadn't borrowed the cauldron from Huang Ye today, he might not have remembered it in a short time.

With a small feeling, Zhong Yuan spread out his palm and used his psychic power to lift the meteorite up, then began carving again. My mental energy has exploded a lot, and carving is much easier than before. I looked at the few runes that didn't have many, and with more effort, I can carve this thing today.

At first, when Zhong Yuan wanted to carve these two talismans on the meteorite, he just had the intention of playing with it and didn't have any expectations for it. However, after listening to Huang Ye's explanation about the box last time, Zhong Yuan had some thoughts in his heart. He thought that the flame talisman was just an ordinary flame, but after listening to Huang Ye's explanation, it seems that it's not the case anymore. Ordinary flames can instantly melt the metal box?

The dark meteorite was already covered with intricate lines of runes, but these runes were not visible to ordinary people. Even if Zhong Yuan didn't use his psychic powers, he couldn't detect the runes already covered with meteorites. He gently turned the meteorite and skillfully found the place where the last carving stopped. With the sound of 'sizzling' coming from the small meteorite, the final carving work began.

These basic runes were already familiar to Zhongyuan, even easier than he had imagined. In less than an hour, Zhongyuan completed the carving work that used to take at least a few days to complete.

After carefully checking the flame rune, Zhong Yuan opened his eyes and nodded in satisfaction. He had put in a lot of effort on this thing. Don't be depressed if something goes wrong due to a momentary negligence.

Firstly, the Naling Talisman pattern was activated, and I felt that the fire attribute spiritual energy in the air was gathering towards the meteorite. Only then did Zhongyuan control the meteorite to drift towards the distance. If this thing is really as powerful as Huangye and the others said, it's better to be careful.

Drifting the meteorite more than ten meters away, with a movement of his mind, Zhongyuan activated the just completed flame rune. As soon as the flame rune was activated, Zhongyuan saw a wave of air around the meteorite, as if water vapor was drifting around from the meteorite.

Looking eagerly at the meteorite in the distance, Zhong Yuan couldn't find any trace of flames except for the air that seemed to be constantly fluctuating around him. Could it be that the Flame Talisman failed?

But it shouldn't be either. At least in the past, there wasn't such a situation when just activating the Naruto rune. Feeling a bit confused, Zhong Yuan probed the activated rune with his psychic power and carefully checked it. Although the speed was slow, the fire attribute spiritual energy in the air continued to gather towards the Naruto rune for a moment, and then... sigh! Zhongyuan finally knows what's going on.

The Naruto rune on a meteorite is an energy harvester, and although the energy consumed by the flame rune is not entirely the spiritual power stored in the Naruto rune, it also has a crucial connection. When the flame rune is activated, it will call on the spiritual energy in the Naruto rune, which is like a trigger that will activate the spiritual energy in the air to produce the desired effect. The more spiritual energy in the Naruto rune, the better the effect will naturally be. However, the Naruto rune on this meteorite, Zhongyuan, clearly has just been activated, so there is no energy provided to the flame rune? Relying solely on the flame rune to activate the surrounding spiritual energy, this resulted in the effect of the meteorite only seeing heat and not flames earlier.

In fact, this is somewhat similar to the talismans used by Huang Ye and his team. The talisman carriers used by Huang Ye themselves contain extremely strong energy, and with the addition of some energy injected during talisman making, the effect will naturally not be very poor. Unfortunately, those talismans are disposable items that are gone once used, unlike the meteorites made by Zhongyuan that can be reused. Moreover, when the spiritual power in the talisman patterns approaches saturation, the effect of using them is not comparable to those talismans.

Having figured out the key, Zhong Yuan stopped the operation of the flame rune and floated the meteorite back into his hand. The start and stop of these runes are very simple, and Zhongyuan even knows many methods that ordinary people can use. Unfortunately, this kind of thing itself is very dangerous, like this meteorite. Zhongyuan never intended to use it for ordinary people.

The rune had been running for a while, but when it returned to Zhongyuan's hand, it still felt cold, and Zhongyuan didn't see anything unusual from the meteorite. As the carrier of runes, meteorites themselves are the first objects to be impacted by these energies. If they cannot withstand these energy impacts, the meteorite will be rendered useless after being activated once. Fortunately, this meteorite is truly a good thing that fell from the sky, with no damage at all. It is not easy to find something that can carry runes, which is why there are very few artifacts and other things.

The more energy this meteorite can contain in the future, the greater the power that the flame rune will naturally release. The amount of energy that a meteorite can contain is very important to its own quality. Initially, Zhong Yuan planned to carve runes on it only based on the hardness of the meteorite, which was originally done by playing with stones in person. Naturally, he did not consider the quality of the meteorite. Moreover, at that time, Zhong Yuan even had to spend a lot of effort carving runes, and even if he had any ideas, he could not implement them.

Now it's different. After witnessing the power of the golden flame on dead objects, Zhongyuan thought that the meteorite might be able to be melted again!

Thinking of this, Zhong Yuan looked at the meteorite in his hand again. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. He wanted to remember earlier to melt this meteorite. Why did he put in so much effort just now? Zhongyuan did not believe that carving something melted by golden flames would be more difficult than directly carving it on a meteorite.

Depressed, Zhong Yuan took out the fruit wine from the Buddha bead and found himself addicted to drinking it. Meimei drank a bowl of fruit wine, and Zhong Yuan planned to refine this meteorite. After all, this thing hasn't been put into use yet. It seems that in the future, we need to use our abilities more in all aspects to avoid the situation where we have been struggling for a long time and realize that what we did before was actually useless.

In fact, Zhongyuan knew that all of this was ultimately due to his own exploration. If there were more people like him now, this situation would definitely disappear. However, Zhong Yuan just thought about it. Not to mention that he was still in a daze at this point and didn't have the ability to cultivate others, even if he did, Zhong Yuan wouldn't be foolish enough to get himself some people who might become his enemies in the future. At this point, he set up a gathering circle, opened the spiritual realm, and even put some cultivation techniques in the small valley, which was already the limit that Zhong Yuan could accept. Perhaps when I get old in the future, I will do that, right? But that's all for the future, who knows.

Shaking his head, Zhong Yuan realized that he had been alone for a long time and always liked to think of messy things. The meteorite drifted towards the distance again, and a golden flame appeared in front of Zhongyuan out of thin air. After these days, Zhongyuan's control over this golden flame has become much stronger than before.

With a movement in his heart, a golden flame flashed and appeared under the meteorite. He looked nervously at the meteorite being burned by the flames. Although it took him a lot of effort, if he could really refine it, Zhong Yuan would definitely not feel heartbroken. Who wouldn't want their own thing to be the best?

The stones and soil burned by the golden flames of Zhongyuan will start to melt in just a few seconds, but after more than a minute, the meteorites burned by the golden flames have not changed at all. Isn't the difference too big? Is this meteorite really so powerful? Zhong Yuanzhi doesn't believe it anymore. If he were really that powerful, his psychic power wouldn't be able to engrave it. Thinking like this, Zhong Yuan has increased the output of the flame, but he doesn't care about the energy consumption.

Zhong Yuan is particularly depressed about his current situation. The energy stored in his body is like seawater in the ocean, but the way he uses that energy is like using a straw to suck water from the ocean. This situation, which clearly exists but cannot be used, makes Zhong Yuan extremely anxious. This is also the reason why Zhong Yuan took the risk to strengthen his body while trying to master various abilities.

More than 10 minutes have passed, and after using those golden flames for a long time under overload, Zhong Yuan's head feels a bit swollen. Fortunately, the meteorite has finally reacted. Although it hasn't melted yet, its color has finally turned much darker and brighter than when it first started, but there is still some movement.

Being ruthless, sometimes causing headaches, Zhong Yuan increased the output of the flame significantly. The golden flame had already turned white, and even the sunlight from the sky could not conceal its radiance. Watching the black meteorite getting darker and darker, Zhong Yuan felt increasingly satisfied. If it continued like this, it would start melting in a few minutes, right?

Unfortunately, there seems to be a word that goes against one's wishes. Under Zhong Yuan's full anticipation, another ten minutes passed, and the meteorite had turned black again, but there was no sign of melting at all. At this point, the meteorite still did not melt. Zhong Yuan had no way out this time. Even if he could strengthen the intensity of the golden flame a little more, Zhong Yuan couldn't really do anything about it.

Huh! "Looking at the dark meteorite, Zhong Yuan suddenly remembered that he had just stopped the flame rune, but the Naling rune seemed to be constantly activated? But why doesn't it seem to start now? After carefully feeling it, the Naling rune did indeed stop running.

Once again, as he probed his psychic power towards the meteorite, several black lines appeared on the surface of Zhong Yuan's head. There were no additional markings on the meteorite, and the surface seemed to have undergone plate movement. The original runes had already turned into messy lines, which made Zhong Yuan so angry that he wanted to give himself two ears of melon seeds. Zhong Yuan's psychic power only touched the surface of the meteorite, and the surface of the meteorite gently sank. Emotions had already melted away? This is Zhong Yuan's only idea.

Hurriedly, he used his psychic power to break open the already melted surface of the meteorite. Suddenly, a rich purple color appeared in Zhong Yuan's eyes. Gently, he used his psychic power to break open two-thirds of the black material on the surface of the meteorite. In no time, a pure purple sphere with a diameter of only about 1.5 centimeters appeared in front of Zhong Yuan. The sphere was slightly shiny purple. He looked at the small sphere and then looked around with his eyes. Zhong Yuan found that there seemed to be a layer of purple around him.

The purple ball floated quietly there like a glass bead, but Zhongyuan knew that with just a little force, the ball could immediately change shape. It was this deceptive effect that made Zhongyuan sit there and burn the already melted meteorite for half a day. In Zhongyuan's mind, shouldn't the melted thing turn into a soft liquid? How can I keep my original shape there and make myself depressed for a long time?

Despite being angry, Zhong Yuan still calmed down and prepared to carve two talismans on the purple ball. The golden flame had already been moved to the side by Zhong Yuan, and he didn't know if the purple ball solidified quickly. Maybe it could still be used later.

Without the difficulty of hardness, the lines of the runes were easily carved by Zhongyuan. Unfortunately, things didn't seem that simple. The previously carved runes began to slowly recover. Zhongyuan had just carved a few runes, and the original carved parts had disappeared. Zhongyuan didn't know if it was because the purple ball solidified very slowly or something else, but he had some ways to deal with this situation.

It's not difficult to use mental power to construct two talisman molds that are similar to that small ball, and it's also possible to change the shape of this small ball. Zhong Yuan, who has been around for a while, doesn't have any good designs, but since his golden flame can melt this meteorite, it's not easy to change its appearance again?

The first style that Zhongyuan thought of was the shape of a coin, which was simple and easy to manipulate. It was also very easy to make talismans or patterns on it. After knowing it for a while, Zhongyuan didn't have any good ideas. So he decided to use his psychic power to shape the purple ball into the shape of a coin. After pondering for a while, Zhongyuan used his psychic power to create a pattern on the purple coin and both sides. On one side was a golden eagle spreading its wings to fly, which anyone who entered the spiritual world would recognize. On the other side, it was a strange little lion dog that seemed to be faintly appearing, and it looked like it was still sleeping. There was no other way, little lion. The deepest impression left by the dog on Zhongyuan is when it's sleeping.

The pattern was also done, and Zhong Yuan finally printed two complete runes according to the size of the purple coin. I took a soft breath, and for now, this thing is considered ready. It's only when the coin solidifies that it's ready.

Floating the purple coin in front of him and gently turning it around a few times, Zhong Yuan was very satisfied. Using mental power was more convenient than hand drawing. It was okay for Zhong Yuan to draw those runes by hand, but it was impossible to draw those two images.

Zhongyuan didn't know what the golden flame was all about. It had been four or five minutes before the purple coin began to show signs of solidification. And from beginning to end, Zhongyuan never felt the temperature of the flames, but unfortunately melted these lifeless things at a really fast speed. Although I don't know when the meteorite melted, even half an hour is not too long.

This purple coin is much larger than the one yuan RMB currently in circulation, and its color is also much more beautiful when seen in Zhongyuan. There is no text on it except for two talismans, and only those two talismans are not visible to ordinary people. After waiting for two minutes, he lightly tried with his psychic power to make sure that the purple coin floating in front of him had solidified. Zhongyuan then removed several psychic models from the coin.

Reaching out and taking the coin into my hand, I gently tried the weight. Although I separated a lot of the black substances, the weight of the coin on my hand didn't seem to decrease much. Zhong Yuan didn't believe this evil anymore and used his psychic power to take the black substances thrown aside into his hand. It has to be said that these things are really incomprehensible. So many black substances are like plastic and have little weight. Moreover, Zhong Yuan only gently tried those things with his hands and they were crushed, indicating that the hardness of the meteorite before must not have much to do with these black substances.

What is condensed is the essence. Zhong Yuan now believes this. Don't think much about what Zhong Yuan has already guessed. The reason why the meteorite can be so heavy and hard must be because of the purple material. It is necessary to send this coin to those who are specialized in studying meteorites. Zhong Yuan estimates that someone might really know what the purple material is, but at least for the time being, Zhong Yuan has no such idea. Let's talk about it later when it is needed.

Turning the coin over to the side of the little lion dog, Zhongyuan activated the spirit symbol pattern on it. As soon as the symbol pattern was activated, Zhongyuan felt that the surrounding spiritual energy was gathering towards the coin at least twice as fast as before. It seems that the melting of this meteorite was really done correctly. Zhongyuan's determination of the quality of the material is related to the quality of the object.

After tossing and turning the coins several times, Zhong Yuan finally stood up from the rocking chair satisfied and prepared to go out and have a meal before speaking. To experiment with the effect of flame runes, we have to wait until the spirit runes absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy. He casually put the coin into his pocket, and Zhong Yuan's clothes were immediately pressed down by the coin. He shook his head impatiently, and had no choice but to hold the coin in his hand. This thing cannot be put in Buddhist beads anymore.

The opening of the spiritual realm is a great joy for cultivators, and there are also many benefits for Zhongyuan. At least there is no need to handle food and other things here by oneself. Spending some money, there are all kinds of food in the spiritual realm, and entering and leaving is not as troublesome as before. As long as you perform a magic spell on your face, Zhongyuan will no longer be afraid of flying in and out.

Let the golden eagle find something to eat on its own, and Zhongyuan flew out of the small valley. As soon as he arrived at the location of the ancient tree, Zhongyuan saw that many people had gathered around it. Although no one dared to touch the ancient tree like Zhongyuan and Huangye did, it did not stop people's interest in it. Zhongyuan even heard words like 'escape technique' and 'wood escape technique' from the people surrounding him, and saw that there were many like-minded people outside. Zhong Yuan refers to like-minded individuals who, like himself, enjoy reading novels and have a rich imagination.

Zhong Yuan stood in the ancient tree for two minutes, and several people had already walked up to the tree and touched it with their hands. Then, as if they were electrocuted, they quickly dodged to the side, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Zhong Yuandao can understand the feelings of these people. They must be very curious about how they disappeared from the ancient tree with the Golden Eagle, but before clarifying their identity or rules, these people are not willing to risk their lives and trouble the ancient tree. They are afraid of accidentally offending Zhong Yuan. What should they do? There are still many people outside the spiritual realm who cannot enter now. And those who can ride golden eagles and disappear into ancient trees will be ordinary people? No one here dares to offend someone who seems to have a deep connection with this spiritual realm.

These people don't even know that Zhong Yuan is the master of this spiritual realm.

Watching another person touch the ancient tree a few times and then flash to the side, Zhongyuan chuckled and gently floated up.
