Chapter 163 Alchemical Casting
Comprehending "Miao Xiang Yong Zan" was a little easier than Lin Bo had imagined, mainly because he had more time.

After finishing the study of the two fragments, the night was still long.

Lin Bo stayed in the underground workshop. Not long ago, he moved the mechanical workshop on the third floor of the lighthouse here. After all, the venue was spacious and the equipment was complete.

He took out the equipment he usually wore and prepared to upgrade the Mage's Face and Iron Body.

In Lin Bo's idea, it would be best if all his weapons and equipment were made of the same material, so that he could use only one real name to take into account attack, defense and action.

In the past, his favorite material was steel. From the mask to the armor, and even the iron balls used against the enemy, they were all tamed under the same word spirit.

The material of the Whale Fire Ring is now Magic Mushroom Iron. When controlling the lantern, you must recite the Whale Fire True Name. It is also necessary to control your own True Name during battle.

A second-level word spirit simply cannot take care of so many things.

Lin Bo considered using magic mushroom iron to recast the steel body and the wizard's appearance, but magic mushroom iron is denser than steel and is heavier to wear.

Among the magical metals known for their lightness, the famous "Mithril" in the multiverse is naturally indispensable. However, the properties of Mithril produced in different worlds are significantly different, just like steel with different formulas has a huge difference in strength. Therefore, Mithril is actually a general term for an entire category of metals.

On the player trading platform of Zongwang, the prices of mithril of different qualities increase in a stepped manner.

Lin Bo could definitely afford the cheap blue and purple mithril ore, but the price-performance ratio wasn't high. Among the advanced alchemical formulas he possessed, there were many lighter and stronger alchemical metals to choose from.

Lin Bo happened to have a material dropped from an affix treasure chest that could be used to make alchemical metal.

Fallen space alloy plate, blue quality, weighing 1.5 tons.

The black metal plate appeared to be molten and sintered. When Lin Bo tapped the bumpy plate with his fingers, the metal spoke to the mage in Gudorei.

How it was forged from a vast smelting furnace, detached from the planet's surface, and subjected to radiation in the vast depths of space. The cold light of the stars condensed on the mottled scratches, like the cruel rings of space. Finally, it arrived at another planet, burned fiercely in the atmosphere, and crashed to the surface with a roar like the hammer of a god's forging hammer.

This alloy plate is not yet a natural alchemical metal, but its base is so good that it can be upgraded to a higher grade with a little refining.

Lin Bo spent some time trying to figure out the true name of the space alloy, exploring its properties, and then carefully considering the appropriate alchemical formula. The 1.5-ton volume was enough for him to experiment with, so he could proceed with confidence.

He borrowed the alchemical formula of "Feather Scale Gold" and prepared to give the space alloy magical properties that are as light as goose feathers and as flexible as dragon skin.

The preparation of feather scale gold requires void salt, air element essence, feathers of hundreds of bird species and dragon blood of any kind. There are also seventeen other auxiliary materials, and the whole process is quite long.

Lin Bo estimated that he would have to work all night in the alchemy room. If everything went well, he could finish the alchemy work tomorrow morning. If not, he might have to work hard for several more nights.

He found the trader [Toxurus] of Ochi Magnificent Garden, sent him the finalized list of materials, and spent one thousand disaster coins to buy four alchemical raw material packages.

He actually knew the formula for Void Salt, a blackening substance commonly used in alchemy that could accelerate the destruction of the elixir's form, rendering it completely "dead." However, making it himself was rather troublesome, so he simply spent some Disaster Coins to save time.

There is still some preparatory work to be done before the furnace is officially opened.

Lin Bo took out hundreds of bird feathers from the material bag, tied them up with thin ropes, and weaved them into a feather raincoat. Then he called the little king over and draped the feather coat on him.

The little seagull is currently molting and is a bit bald. After putting on this colorful feather cape, it looks very fancy. It looks at itself and jumps around in ecstasy. "Good human gave feathers to seagulls. Haha, I am so beautiful."

The wizard explained his intention to the little guy. This feather robe was to be used for alchemy. A ritual was needed to give the bird feathers miraculous powers before they could be smelted in the furnace.

This simple ritual involves having a living bird hold the essence of air in its mouth and fly, allowing the magical energy to flow through the bird's feathers on the wind, activating them one by one. Each activated feather needs to be placed in the furnace as soon as possible.

When the little king learned that the night watchman was not planning to give gifts to the seagull, he immediately became depressed.

"(Magic words) Little guy, you actually look better without these feathers." Lin Bo spoke frankly. The bird feather raincoat was too rough and hindered normal flight.

The little seagull blinked when he heard that, looked at his feathers again, and hugged his head with his wings in fear, "I'm so ugly! No way! Take it away!"

Lin Bo smiled, took off the feather coat first, and then took out the essence of air element that looked like transparent crystal particles, and told the little seagull to hold it in its mouth and not swallow it.

The little king glanced at him and flapped his wings, looking lively as if to say, "Are you still not sure about me?"

After making all the preparations, Lin Bo officially started the furnace. The first step was to prepare the forging preparation with auxiliary materials and dragon blood.

He chose blue dragon blood, which can increase the resistance of the finished metal to lightning.

Sit cross-legged beside the incense burner, smell the elixir, meditate quietly, and feel the changing shape of the elixir in the furnace.

If alchemy is compared to cooking, the forging agent is the seasoning. Without it, the effect of the alchemical metal will be greatly reduced, or even impossible to form. The specific formula and dosage depend on the properties of the base metal. If you are unlucky and try the wrong formula, you will need to start over.

Perhaps because he had just comprehended the "Ode to Wonderful Fragrance" and temporarily unlocked the characteristic of "Inspirational Heart", Lin Bo was quite confident in the formula he had worked out.

Forty minutes later, the forging fire preparation was freshly produced, and the agitated magical energy of the blue dragon blood turned into electric arcs, flickering and dancing on the deep red alchemical liquid that was as thick as a paste.

Next, Lin Bo took a 50-kilogram piece of space alloy and put it into the furnace to calcine. After the alloy melted into molten iron under intense heat, he added the Void Salt. In an instant, billowing alchemical energy was released.

Lin Bo sensed the true name rune of the space alloy in a state of concentration. It was severely damaged and distorted, and it was completely a piece of "dead iron".

Lin Bo came out of meditation, put on a feather robe for the little king, held the essence of the air element in his mouth, and then let it fly under the dome of the alchemy room.

The little seagull flapped its wings, and the elemental essence in its mouth came into contact with the air flow, releasing a wind of magical energy. The air flow suddenly inspired and invigorated, driving the bird to glide and circle freely.

Lin Bo recited the real name of the feather and followed the bird's shadow with his eyes. Whenever a feather on the feather coat glowed, he would control it to break away from the straw raincoat and fly into the feeding port of the alchemy furnace.

A bird's feathers were imprinted on the hot molten iron, instantly turning to ash. As feathers were dropped in, a miraculous force caused the dead iron to enter a whitening phase, with the essence rising to the surface while the completely dead parts settled to the bottom.

When the hundred bird feathers were used up, Lin Bo called the little seagull down, took out the essence of the air element, chiseled it into powder, put it into the furnace, and dripped molten iron into it along with the forging fire agent, allowing the alloy to enter yellowing after the whitening process.

The little seagull squatted on the wizard's shoulder, Lin Bo closed his eyes and meditated, and what followed was a long wait.

As the night passed, the bird left the workshop several times, returned to the lighthouse to feed its chicks, recharged the engine in its chest at the nuclear power plant, and finally landed beside the night watchman.

Iron One prepared a midnight snack, but since no one ate it, it had to cool on the table.

The sun will rise.

The wisps of alchemy energy floating in the courtyard of the lighthouse rose straight into the dark blue sky during this brief moment of no wind.

In the underground workshop, Lin Bo opened his eyes after meditating all night.

[Skill judgment successful, [Black Snake Meditation] basic proficiency +2]

【Health Status Coefficient × 2 (Perfect)】

[Final calculation result: [Black Snake Meditation] Proficiency +4]

He extinguished the whale fire, sniffed the pure elixir energy lingering around his nose, and recited his true name.

"(Mantra) Featherscale Starsteel."

A ball of bright red molten iron in the furnace rose into the air, quickly cooled down, and revealed a bright silver color. After leaving the furnace, it reflected a faint purple light under the light, just like the cilia on the edge of a bird's feathers.

The refining was successful on the first try, which was incredibly lucky.

Lin Bo remembered his title of "Fault Alchemy Recovery Expert." While sensing the True Name Rune, he'd experienced several dangerous yellowing phases, where the rune structure had become chaotic and nearly failed. Perhaps the title's protection had been the reason he'd managed to pull it off smoothly.

Lin Bo used this ball of feather-scale star steel to recast the steel body and the mage's appearance. He borrowed the outer shell design of the deep mutation leg armor and replaced all the steel materials. This was only a preliminary upgrade, but the effect was immediate.

The weight of the steel skeleton has dropped from 14.8kg to 3.2kg. If the components inside the exoskeleton were not inconvenient to change, the weight could be further reduced.

The weight of the Mage's Mask has also been reduced from 1.4kg to 1.1kg, also because the eye enhancement component itself is relatively heavy and difficult to modify.

However, in addition to being lighter and stronger than steel, Feather Scale Star Steel also has greatly improved magic carrying capacity. Its quality is already purple and it is fully capable of withstanding three Gudorei language spell enchantments.

Lin Bo cast the "Lightness Spell," "Strength Spell," and "Protection Spell" on both pieces of equipment to further reduce their weight.
