Chapter 130 Refining
Before starting to visualize, Su Daoshan organized his thoughts.

He already had a plan in mind regarding the goal of refining the heart furnace.

Generally speaking, when a warrior refines a weapon with a heart furnace, the first principle is to make it fit his own war spirit. This can either strengthen the war spirit's strengths or make up for its weaknesses. At the same time, it must also meet the war spirit's own level and conditions.

And it specifically fell on Xiao Hei...

"Xiao Hei has the dual attributes of wood and fire, and is amorphous, able to change shape, plus he has a variety of attack methods. In fact, from the current point of view, with my 17-meter combat power, I can completely crush these 11- or 12-meter warriors from outside the domain."

"Just now, I was able to fight three of them at once. If we were to fight now, even if all of them were put together, they would not be my match."

"If they are one meter stronger than them, the advantage is very obvious. If they are five or six meters stronger than them, they are completely crushed. It's like a professional boxer breaking into a kindergarten. It can't be made up by numbers at all."

"Take the rock tiger for example. If we fight now, it will not be able to tear off Xiao Hei's tree roots. And the thief bird will not be able to hang around for that long. Xiao Hei's vine web will be faster and have a larger range."

"Therefore, there is little point in continuing to strengthen Xiao Hei's combat power in this area. With Xiao Hei's defense and attack power, it is already sufficient. If we don't strengthen it, it will be like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. If we strengthen it further, it will be like using a cannon to kill a fly!"

Therefore, Su Daoshan’s goal is very clear, which is to make up for Xiao Hei’s shortcomings.

In the spiritual realm, all plant-type war spirits have an obvious common flaw, which is that they are difficult to move.

This point is also the easiest to be targeted in battle.

Just like the big tree of Ma San. Although it is powerful, the opponent can fight and consume it outside the attack range of the big tree. Even if they can't beat it, they can retreat calmly. The big tree has no ability to pursue.

The only way for a plant-type war spirit to move is to pull out its roots, spread to another place, and then dig into the soil to pull its huge body over. Because of its huge size, its movement speed is actually not slow. It is even a little faster than a human walking.

But compared with other flying and beast-like war spirits, it is incredibly slow.

Su Daoshan knew that Xiao Hei's tree form also had this flaw. The reason why he was able to kill so many people from the Huangzhulin tribe in one fell swoop was also due to the fact that he launched a sneak attack when the enemy was unprepared.

If Niu Er and others had not blocked the road in front, and if Xiao Hei had not appeared directly behind the opponent, this battle would not have been won so easily.

Although Xiao Hei has other forms, in terms of combat power, the tree form is its strongest form. Once it transforms into other forms, the combat methods of the tree form will also become invalid.

Therefore, solving this problem is Su Daoshan’s top priority right now.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to solve it.

One is to increase the mobility of plant-type war spirits. When Su Daoshan was chatting with Ma San before, he heard him sighing that his giant tree was too big and too heavy. He originally thought of refining a cart so that his giant tree could evolve wheels according to the cart. But later he found that even with wheels, it could not bear the weight of the tree itself and it was very easy to sink into the mud.

This is not a difficult task for Su Daoshan.

However, compared to simply increasing mobility, he still prefers another simpler and more effective solution. The idea is the same as Ma San's - increase long-range attacks.

The only difference is that Ma San chose a bow, while Su Daoshan chose a Gatling gun!

A war spirit with the power of a Gatling gun and even a machine gun!
Just thinking about it made Su Daoshan excited.

However, refining the Heart Furnace is not as simple as visualizing a Gatling gun. Although it does not require troublesome actual operation and manufacturing, the visualization must conform to the rules of the real world and have complete components.

And for a Gatling gun to really appear in this world, the whole process involves many elements that have never appeared in this world. Now, Su Daoshan must create it from nothing through visualization.

The first visualization element chosen by Su Daoshan was also very simple - sulfuric acid.

"Sulfuric acid is the mother of industry. Once sulfuric acid is prepared, many things will become easy."

Su Daoshan concentrated his mind and began to visualize. Because it only involved the existence of elements and did not require the production of physical objects, visualization did not need to consider large-scale manufacturing processes, purification, and costs.

This is why Su Daoshan is so confident. Many elements can be prepared using ancient methods and simple laboratory methods.

When visualizing sulfuric acid, Su Daoshan originally wanted to start with sulfur. However, when sulfuric acid appeared in his mind as the ultimate goal, he found that in the heart furnace space, wisps of spiritual energy quickly gathered together with the visualization. Soon, with the arrival of a huge will, these spiritual energies condensed and turned into a drop of water, suspended in the air.

As soon as he saw the water drop, Su Daoshan immediately had an epiphany.

"It worked."

"It turns out that sulfuric acid has already appeared in the Landro continent hundreds of years ago in the old era. It's just that my original body's knowledge does not cover this, so I didn't know it. In fact, if I had been to the workshop, I would have found that sulfuric acid has been used in many places."

"Therefore, to refine sulfuric acid, I don't need to visualize the corresponding rules from scratch. The refining speed is very fast. Almost as soon as I visualize it, it appears."

"Moreover, once this sulfuric acid element is formed, it will always exist in my heart furnace. There is no need to refine it separately in the future. Moreover, the concentration of sulfuric acid can be adjusted at will simply through visualization."

Su Daoshan was thoughtful and turned his gaze to the spiritual energy floating in the space. This spiritual energy was the spiritual essence he had invested before. After condensing into sulfuric acid elements, the original size had been reduced by about one tenth.

"It took about 20 spiritual essences. Not much."

"However, this is only the first element that has been refined, and it has already appeared in this world. I wonder how much will be consumed when refining other elements."

Su Daoshan took a deep breath and calmed down. Now that he had sulfuric acid, the next thing he needed to refine was nitric acid!

Xianlai Town is already a bustling scene.

The news that the Huangzhulin tribe launched a massive attack on the Gurong tribe but was defeated by the other four tribes united together spread quickly throughout the Xianlai Town area like legs.

And in this news, the most eye-catching person is naturally the newcomer who fights one against three.

The Xianlai Teahouse, which was originally empty, was now packed with people. Moreover, there were also casual cultivators coming from all directions. The teahouse was filled with people, and even the street outside was filled with people talking.

"Mr. Huang Zhu has made a huge mistake!"

"That's right! Who would have thought that twenty people would be killed by the Gurong tribe. Now they are trapped there and don't even have the chance to enter the spiritual realm."

"Who is that new guy, and where did he come from?"

"No one has ever seen it. And they gave it a weird name, saying 'If we can't reach an agreement, we'll chop it off.' Wow, that's pretty overbearing. A newcomer dares to give himself such a name, isn't he afraid of being beaten to death on the street?"

"Tsk tsk, the problem is that he was not beaten to death, but Master Huang Zhu was defeated. It is said that when the newcomer entered the spiritual realm, Master Huang Zhu sent him out. But this guy is also a tough guy. He turned around and smashed Master Huang Zhu's head with one fist, which led to the massive attack of the Huangzhulin tribe." "Unbelievable. When did the newcomers become so powerful? The first time was fine, but the second time, he was defeated by this newcomer. Master Huang Zhu must be anxious and angry now. He didn't check the almanac before going out!"

"The worst thing is that the four families of Gurong, Wutong River, Luer Mountain, and Yecao Valley have joined forces. Huang Zhulin is usually arrogant and domineering. This time he has been caught by others, and I'm afraid he will have a hard time!"

"Tsk, guys, tell me, what are your plans?"

"What plans do we have?"

"Stop acting in front of our brothers. Are you guys rushing here in such a hurry just to watch the fun?"

"Hehe... Even if we have some ideas, I'm afraid it's not our turn now. Not to mention that the main owner is the Four Alliance, just say that as soon as the news came over, people from the Yellow Bamboo Forest Tribe hung up the message tree here. Here. You go and see if you dare to reach out. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

As someone in the crowd nodded, a group of warriors immediately gathered under a "tree" next to the teahouse.

This tree is a real tree, but on the trunk there is a human face. And the things hanging from the tree are not branches or leaves, but wooden signs hanging from ropes.

This is the message tree of the spiritual realm.

As long as you pay a certain amount of spiritual energy, write the message to be delivered on a piece of paper and stick it on a wooden sign, the message will be delivered to every place in the spiritual world where there is a message tree at the fastest speed.

This information is public and anyone can see it. Most of the gossip in the spiritual world comes from this.

The news about the annihilation of the Huangzhulin tribe was spread through the message tree by the Lingyao proprietress who was now cracking melon seeds in the teahouse and listening to the tea drinkers' discussions and arguments. For this proprietress, running a teahouse is a sideline, and spreading gossip is her main job. Many of the people present came from neighboring towns just to see this news.

Now, everyone saw a piece of letter on the message tree that had obviously been posted not long ago.

"Huang Zhulin is in trouble, please help, Brother Buchi!"

Everyone looked at each other.

One person said in surprise: "Buchi, could it be the Buchi who rode into the Spirit Realm six months ago?"

With this reminder, everyone remembered who this familiar name represented, and their eyes widened.

A gust of wind blew, and the hanging wooden signs swayed and banged against each other. Next to the bustling Xianlin Town, Huangzhu Mountain stood silently, like a giant, looking down on all living things indifferently.

Chongguang City Camp.

In a separate room in a small building, Ke Lizhi sat on the bed. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help it and stood up suddenly. He grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it to the ground. With a "bang", it broke into pieces!
This 26-year-old disciple of Yuanshan Tower, one of the three major sects in Xiazhou, the eldest son of the Ke family in Feicui City, Nanjun, is none other than Mr. Huang Zhu who was sent out of the spiritual realm by Su Daoshan.

"If we can't come to an agreement, we'll chop him off!" Ke Lizhi chewed the name fiercely in his mouth, his face ashen, as if he wanted to chew the name to pieces.

Previously in the spirit realm, he called a halt, originally intending to divide and win over the other tribes. After all, even if he didn't react when he was attacked at first, everything that happened later was enough for him to come to his senses - if the four tribes had united to attack him earlier, Gao Jiao and the others would not have come only one person from each tribe, let alone throw themselves into the crowd.

And these four families also have conflicts among themselves. Just a few words can stir up trouble...

But what Ke Lizhi didn't expect was that if they couldn't reach an agreement, they would chop him without even giving him a chance to speak. As soon as he called for a stop, a whip came over.

Ke Lizhi's chest heaved violently.

What fills my chest, besides the anger that has nowhere to be released, is more of a sense of frustration and humiliation!

From childhood to adulthood, Ke Lizhi has always been a genius that everyone has noticed, both in his family and in Emerald City. At the age of seventeen, he was admitted to the most powerful sect in Southern County, Cangfeng Sect, with the first place in the county exam. At the age of twenty-two, he got a chance to become an extraordinary warrior. He was immediately discovered by Yuanshan Tower and became a personal disciple. In just four years, he grew from a newcomer who was on the verge of failure to a tribal leader with a combat power of eleven meters!

Of course, there are some other factors involved, but his own fifth-class rank is what he is most proud of.

In the spiritual realm, the fourth level is a dividing line. Most extraordinary warriors have talents below the fourth level. Those who can reach the fifth level can be said to have extraordinary talents. The sixth level is rare, and as for the seventh and eighth levels, they are only heard of in legends.

Perhaps there are some among the major super sects. But in Xiazhou, Ke Lizhi believes that there are very few who can surpass him.

After the Wen'an City war broke out, he followed his master to the Chongguang City camp and met many extraordinary warriors. Whether it was the disciples of other sects or the young demon hunters, his talent was second to none.

Perhaps the only person whose talent might be better than his is Fan Caiyi from Han Valley.

But what Ke Lizhi never dreamed of was that today, he was killed twice in a row by a newcomer in the spiritual realm!

That's a newcomer.

I endured two years as a rookie. Every time I entered the spiritual realm, I counted the spiritual essence on my fingers. It was not until I joined an organization that my luck turned. It can be said that I endured two and a half years of the four years.

But this is the status of all newcomers, and I am considered lucky.

Ke Lizhi calculated that as long as he worked for another year, he would be able to increase his combat power to 15 meters and be eligible to enter the fifth spiritual realm. And when he arrived in the fifth spiritual realm, with the help of the organization he joined, his speed of advancement would be even more amazing.

Maybe, he could break through to the third level of Tiandao Mountain and enter the Earth Realm!

In the future, it might even be possible to get the mark and reach the fourth level!

Whenever Ke Lizhi thought of these things in the past, he would be filled with pride and satisfaction. But today, what he remembered was the whip that the newcomer had whipped him with!
This whip shattered all his pride.

Trying to calm himself down, Ke Lizhi gritted his teeth and muttered, "But don't be complacent. Do you really think that my Huangzhulin tribe doesn't have any tricks? You're smart not to come to Huangzhulin. If you dare to come..."

Just then, there was a voice coming from the door.

"Lizhi, what's wrong?"

Ke Lizhi came back to his senses and quickly replied: "Master, it's nothing. I was thirsty and drinking tea just now, and my hand slipped."

"Well, it's getting late. We have to leave for Yishan City tomorrow. Go to bed early."

"Yes."
