Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 87 By Chance
Just after hearing that the locust wood core in Mingdu had been bought by someone, Lin Xiao saw that a teacher from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was going into seclusion. He had to think more about it.

However, he did not feel the aura of an evil soul master from the teacher just now, and he didn't know whether he guessed wrong or the teacher had other purposes in looking for Huai Muxin.

The soul guide test area is divided into two parts: the arena and the test area. The arena is mostly where the actual control system soul masters compete with each other. Occasionally, there are other soul masters who want to try out the performance of their soul guides in actual combat.

The actual testing area is a series of large, separated rooms with walls on all sides.

The power of the soul guide device that is still under experimentation is difficult to control and may accidentally injure people nearby. Using a wall to separate it can also prevent others from peeking. After all, no soul guide wants to have his ideas that are still under experimentation stolen by others.

Lin Xiao walked into the experimental area, closed the door, and glanced at the pile of materials on the table.

Since obtaining his sixth spirit ring, he had been here most of the time during the day. Although becoming a third-level spirit engineer only required the independent creation of a third-level spirit tool, if he wanted to continue his breakthrough, he needed to master more than just one spirit tool.

Lin Xiao picked up the metal on the table with ease, thought for a moment, then put it down again and took out the storage soul guide that Shangguan Qing had given him.

Needless to say, one of the porcelain bottles contained the famous Xuanshui Pill. As soon as the cork was opened, a faint medicinal aroma filled the air. Although it contained the essence and blood of a water-attributed spirit beast, the pill had no trace of blood, only a pleasant grassy fragrance.

The bottle contained a dark blue pill, the size of a cherry, with many white lines of varying shades on it. After a long time, a light mist filled the mouth of the bottle.

It is indeed a good thing. Even though Lin Xiao is not good at making pills, just by looking at its appearance, he can tell that it is extraordinary.

As for the other things on the other side, there were probably only a dozen dark blue metal ingots and some irregular ores. No one knew where Shangguan Qing got them from.

Lin Xiao took out the metal ingots, weighed them in his hand, and shook his head with some regret.

He wanted the locust wood core not to make a soul guide, but to give the soul he controlled a place to live. Sometimes he needed the soul to appear outside to help him do something, but there were many soul masters in the Holy Spirit Church who could deal with souls, so he could only find ways to cover it up.

These metals can indeed be used to make soul guides to match the function of locust wood core, but they cannot allow souls to reside in them.

Forget it, it’s metal anyway, so I’ll use it to feed my left arm bone.

Lin Xiao placed the metal ingot on the table and pressed it with his left hand. A faint metallic luster appeared on his left arm, but the next moment, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

After scanning the materials in front of him, Lin Xiao took out a few more materials.

Anyway, it is going to be fed to the soul bone, so before that, he might as well use it to try his own experiment of making "alloy". Even if it fails, the materials will not be wasted, and it can also help him eliminate a wrong plan.

Smelting, forging, casting... These seemingly blacksmith jobs are actually part of the production of soul guides. Except for some rare natural pure materials, most metals require this process before being made into soul guides. Only through continuous hammering can the characteristics of the metal itself be fully brought into play.

In Lin Xiao's previous world, this kind of work also had certain environmental requirements; the slightest carelessness could introduce impurities. But here, with the existence of soul power, these problems could be completely avoided. Furthermore, because of mental power, he could also monitor the changes in the metal at any time. Although Lin Xiao's process of trying to "alloy" was slightly different from the forging of other soul masters, given his control over soul power and mental power, the process was still somewhat tedious. His hands kept repeating the process, but his thoughts had long since drifted off to who-knows-where.

In fact, whether it is the three major empires or the Sun-Moon Empire with advanced soul guide technology, soul guides have never been able to develop as rapidly as the industries in Lin Xiao's memory. One of the important reasons is that some of the processes for making soul guides are too primitive.

Simple things like this required the soul guide to do it personally, and a complete soul guide would have so many parts and so much metal. Even in the process of research and experimentation, just forging the metal would consume a lot of time.

Perhaps, as he remembered, he could make a soul guide specially used for forging metal. Even if it couldn't have a trace of "spirituality" like the ones forged by soul masters themselves, it would be completely sufficient among the huge number of low- and medium-level soul guides.

Just as Lin Xiao was imagining the soul guide that could be used to make a soul guide, his mental power that was focusing on the metal in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Lin Xiao subconsciously stopped what he was doing and came back to his senses in an instant.

The two metals he melted together in front of him had completely merged, and they still looked like they had some of the original blue color of the materials, but this blue color was evenly distributed throughout the metal ingot like stars.

Lin Xiao was still a little dazed, but he quickly realized that something he had tried many times without success seemed to be accomplished inadvertently.

After a careful examination, he realized that his spiritual power had not vanished into thin air, but had been integrated into the metal. In other words, this new "alloy" formed by the fusion of the two metals had the ability to transmit the spiritual power of a soul master.

He thought of a lot in an instant.

Soul guides naturally rely on mental power to control soul guides, especially long-range soul guides, which can even change the direction and angle of attack through mental influence. Therefore, there are many magic arrays in soul guides specifically designed to transmit the soul guide's mental power.

But now, if this metal can be integrated into the soul guide, a lot of magic arrays used to transmit mental power can be saved.

This is just the simplest application. If this thing appears in the hands of other ninth-level soul masters, it can play a much more than just role.

It was just a simple idea at first, but after experiencing so many failures, Lin Xiao himself no longer had any hope. He almost regarded it as a processing before feeding metal to his left arm bone, just like cooking.

However, when his idea was finally realized and a material that had never appeared before was born from his hands, he didn't know what to do with it for a moment.

Keep it for yourself? Exchange it for cultivation resources? Or give it to someone else to deal with...

Lin Xiao put away the metal ingot in his hand that looked like a starry sky and returned to the table. He still needed to think carefully.
