Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 56 I really want to escape, but I can’t.

As he thought about it, Lin Nuo felt a strange tingling sensation all over his body and couldn't wait to take a shower.

Some things are better left unthought; the more you think about them, the more uncomfortable you become.

Especially after realizing he hadn't showered for half a month, Lin Nuo would hallucinate that his whole body was itchy, and only a comfortable shower could make him feel fully revitalized.

But it seemed that even the heavens didn't want him to be comfortable. As soon as he left the experimental area, he was stopped again.

"Arno, I heard you've already completed the first-grade metal forging? Come on, let me see!" Jing Hongchen stood in front of Lin Nuo, rubbing his hands together like a fly. His heavy body completely blocked all of Lin Nuo's escape routes.

Lin Nuo opened his mouth, but although he didn't speak, he cursed very rudely.

"Here, this is it..." He handed the metal to Jing Hongchen, speaking weakly.

The next second, the heavy silver he was holding was in Jing Hongchen's hands. He looked on with rapt attention, treating the metal like a work of art.

"Perfect, absolutely perfect!" Jing Hongchen couldn't help but exclaim. "It's clearly only a difference of one grade, but the difference in spiritual energy contained within is so great. If this quality of metal were used to forge battle armor, its overall amplification strength would increase by at least ten percent!"

This 10% is precisely the key to breaking through from the peak of Soul Emperor to the Soul Saint realm!

Of course, the magic array needs to be continuously updated and iterated. The stronger the metal, the higher the strength of the magic array it can withstand. The ratio of energy conversion and soul power amplification also needs to be adjusted appropriately.

This is a huge project. Even for that fraction of a percent, dozens or even hundreds of experiments would be needed to find the optimal solution.

However, this is something that Jing Hongchen should worry about, and has nothing to do with Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen.

He did want to take Lin Nuo's piece of thousand-refined silver, but Lin Nuo refused. Using silver with life-like properties as experimental material would be disastrous. Lin Nuo would probably have to get up in the middle of the night and slap himself twice.

"Grandpa Mirror, if you feel that developing the Battle Armor Matrix by yourself is too much of a burden, you might as well find a few helpers to work together," Lin Nuo said meaningfully.

"Senior Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo, is a good candidate."

Jing Hongchen raised an eyebrow and pointed at Lin Nuo with a strange smile: "You kid, just say what you want to say directly. No need to beat around the bush. I know you too well. You're not the kind of person who would bring up other people for no reason."

"Hehe, Grandpa Jing still found out." Lin Nuo laughed embarrassedly. "Although there are other reasons, Senior Ye Yulin is basically on par with Grandpa Jing in the Empire, which should be enough to get her into our plan."

"The current battle armor is already taking shape. The next step cannot be accomplished by one person alone. If we want to develop the battle armor quickly, we still need to invite more talented people. After all, many hands make light work."

"As for why I invited Senior Ye Yulin first... actually, I wanted one of Senior Ye's prized works to use for self-defense..."

"...You mean the Sun God Needle? No, it should be called the Sun and Moon God Needle now, but that thing is a level nine soul tool. Are you sure you want it?" Jing Hongchen was a little speechless.

"Of course, after all, I am not good at fighting, so I can only rely on some external forces to protect myself!" Lin Nuo said confidently.

I am just a Blue Silver Grass Lung Mist with half a level of innate soul power; I don't have the power of them (battle soul masters)!

The Sun and Moon Needle, a soul tool that can be charged by the sun and moon and does not rely entirely on the soul master's soul power to activate, is undoubtedly the most suitable for him. Even if his soul power is insufficient to activate it, he can store energy in advance and take it out to release it directly when needed.

This is a level nine soul tool that is hailed as the strongest single-target attack!
The battle armor may be appealing, but it is ultimately only a semi-finished product.

The allure of soul tools is even more captivating! Seeing Lin Nuo like this, Jing Hongchen hesitated. Lin Nuo's martial soul was indeed constantly evolving, and each time he obtained a soul ring, he absorbed one beyond the level. However, the stereotype of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was too strong. Even though Lin Nuo's level and soul rings were beyond the standard, he still gave people the feeling of being weak.

For example, he demonstrated considerable combat power even in his battles against Xiaomeng and Ji Juechen.

But when a blue silver grass grows in his palm, the atmosphere inexplicably becomes somewhat humorous.

It seems... he really needs a more powerful offensive soul tool?

We can't expect him to charge at Soul Saints and Soul Douluos with the Sword of Judgment, so a ranged Soul Guidance Device became inevitable.

In this way, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle is indeed the most suitable.

Of course, this depends on Jing Hongchen not knowing that Lin Nuo's martial soul has evolved yet again. If he saw Lin Nuo's brand-new version of the World Tree martial soul, he probably wouldn't think that way.

Lin Nuo has no intention of revealing his World Tree Martial Soul for the time being. He's not afraid that anyone in Douluo Continent can see it, but he's afraid that some nobody will see the prospects and potential of his Martial Soul and force him to become Tang's dog like Huo Qubing...

You can leave your spirit rings undisguised, but you still need to hide your martial spirit.

Lin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Jing Hongchen leave.

I can finally take a shower!
Lin Nuo hummed softly as he left, quickly fleeing this place of trouble.

And just as he was about to step inside...

"Arno! I heard from that guy that you've broken through again. Could you help me upgrade my battle armor?" Xiao Meng leaned forward, blocking Lin Nuo's path once again.

promise:……

I desperately want to escape, but I can't.

……

Holidays are like the RMB in your pocket; they disappear without you even realizing it.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has entered a new semester, which means that there are only two months left until the next Soul Battle Tournament.

During the last ten days or so of the holiday, Lin Nuo successfully upgraded Xiao Meng's battle armor, replacing all the armor parts with second-grade thousand-refined metal. It wasn't that he was unwilling to use first-grade metal, but rather that his own success rate with first-grade metal was not high.

On average, only one or two pieces of Grade 1 can be produced in ten forging attempts. On the contrary, the success rate of forging Grade 2 is much higher, with eight out of ten attempts being successful.

Thanks to the Thousand-Refined Silver Forging Hammer with life-giving properties.

As for the first-grade silver, there wasn't enough to make a single set of battle armor, so Jing Hongchen used it to upgrade the Sword of Judgment.

In Jing Hongchen's view, winning over Ye Yulin was bound to succeed. Since you're going to ask Ye Yulin for a Sun and Moon Divine Needle, then I'll give you a one-of-a-kind level nine close-range soul tool.

Not only that, he also wanted to give Lin Nuo a mortal protection, so that Lin Nuo could be both offensive and defensive.

In my life, I, Jing Hongchen, have never been inferior to anyone!
