The Alchemist God Chapter 170: Stubborn rock

Chapter 170: Stubborn rock

In the afternoon, the winter sun sprinkled over Orchid Goose City. Under the shadow of mottled trees, Lin Mu Yu slowly rode his horse into the city. With his temple battle armour and military rank badge, he could enter the city without being checked. He rode his battle horse through Tong Tian Street while taking out the Azure Nether Stone Ring from his chest. Placing it on his thumb, he felt that a power was influencing him when he placed his hand on his sword. It was as if this item was an ornament and it wasn’t realistic to use it as part of a weapon or armour.

After playing with it for a while, he took off the Azure Nether Stone Ring and put it into his chest once again.

At this time, there was a lively scene in front of him with citizens surrounding the area. Lin Mu Yu quickly moved his horse over to take a look and found that there was a line of carts in front of him. There were carts linked together like a train and there was a giant body being transported on the carts. It was the dead Dragon Snake corpse from Deer Cry Court!

The imperial guards actually sent the Dragon Snake corpse back?

Seeing the Dragon Snake’s corpse, Lin Mu Yu looked at his prairie sword. The prairie sword was not sharp enough to cut through the Dragon Snake’s scales, so it could be imagined how hard it was. Moreover, each one of the Dragon Snake’s scale was around a meter long and was in a diamond shape. If…..they could be used to make s.h.i.+elds, it should be able to block all weapons, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Yu’s heart couldn’t help skipping a beat. He immediately rode his horse too catch up, looking for the leader of the transport team. It was someone he knew, the thousand man commander Luo Lie, Feng Ji Xing’s follower.

“Commander Luo Lie!”

“Un?” Luo Lie turned around to see Lin Mu Yu and couldn’t help smiling as he said, “Yo, it’s sir Lin Mu Yu. Why are you at Tong Tian Street, should you be…..at the Falcon’s Nest?”

“I’m not going to the Falcon’s Nest today.” Lin Mu Yu made his horse walk alongside them as he asked, “Where is this large Dragon Snake corpse being sent?”

“Ha, it’s commander Feng Ji Xing that wants us to transport this Dragon Snake corpse into Ze Tian palace. He said that the Dragon Snake’s meat contains large amounts of fire energy, so the dried meat can be used to make soup to keep us warm on winter days. The Dragon Snake bones can be made into medicine to help strengthen one’s physique. Not to mention the fact this is a 12300 year old Dragon Snake, if it had pa.s.sed through its tribulation, it would have evolved into a dragon by now.”

“It’s like this…..” Lin Mu Yu rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “Can I discuss a matter with you?”

“Oh, what is it?” Luo Lie had a smile as he looked at him.

“The Dragon Snake’s scales, after they have been cut off, can you give them to me?”

“It’s like this…..” Luo Lie began to laugh, “Is sir planning to use the Dragon Snake scales to make a s.h.i.+eld or armour?”

“s.h.i.+elds.”

“So it’s like this…..Alright. Sir commander did not mention wanting the scales and this Dragon Snake was personally killed by sir Lin Mu Yu, there’s should be no dispute about giving these scales to you. Come with me into the palace, we’ll give you the scales once we process this corpse.”

“That’s great. Many thanks, general Luo Lie!”

“Sir is being too kind, we’re all on the same side!”

After entering Ze Tian Palace, the Dragon Snake corpse was processed in a side hall. The chefs processed the meat and the bones, while the bloodstained scales were placed onto a cart. Lin Mu Yu counted them and found there were over five hundred scales, instantly filling his heart with joy. These scales took up a total of five carts!

Feng Ji Xing even had twenty imperial guards help Lin Mu Yu move them. In the afternoon, they sent these scales to the largest iron workshop in the city, the Royal White Iron Workshop. It’s said that this workshop had a history of over ten thousand years and has been through over a hundred emperors, giving it its current name. When Lin Mu Yu entered this workshop, he saw a familiar figure, Jin Xiao Tang!

“Big brother Ah Yu, it’s been a while since you’ve appeared!”

Jin Xiao Tang personally walked over and pursed her little lips as she said, “Humph, having me introduce you into the Swordsman Hall, I never thought it was for spying reasons. Because of you, Xiao Tang has offended Swordsman Hall, what should I do!”

Lin Mu Yu was very apologetic, “Ha, ha, I’m sorry. Xiao Yang, this matter was indeed my fault, so I’ll make it up to you! That’s right, why are you here?”

Jin Xiao Tang patted the workshop sign nearby and said, “Because this Royal White Iron Workshop is owned by my Imperial Capital Store, so its normal for me to be here!”

Speaking of this, she looked at the Dragon Snake scales on the cart and said with a smile, “Big brother Ah Yu, this is…..Are you using the Dragon Snake scales to make s.h.i.+elds? Good fellow, these scales are so thick, how old was the Dragon Snake?”

“Over ten thousand years.”

“This old…..” Jin Xiao Yang stuck out her tongue. Then she revealed a smile and said, “Since it’s like this…..Xiao Tang will take charge and give you a cheap price. Each s.h.i.+eld will only cost ten gold coins, alright? Hundred year profound iron will be cast around the Dragon Snake scales and piercings and polis.h.i.+ng will all be covered in the ten gold coins, how about that?”

“Alright, alright. Many thanks, Xiao Tang.”

“But there is a condition!”

“Oh, what is it?”

“Hee, hee!” Jin Xiao Tang grabbed Lin Mu Yu’s hand and said, “Father just received a s.h.i.+pment from the west and there are many Seven Coloured Lotuses. Big brother Ah Yu, help Xiao Tang and make a hundred bottles of dreaming of the peak for our Imperial Capital Store, how about that? There was a problem with our last auction of dreaming of the peak and many customers are waiting to buy it.”

“Alright…..When I have time, I’ll come to the Imperial Capital Store. I also want to buy some materials to recast one of my weapons.”

“Alright!”

Returning to the Imperial Capital Store, he looked through the precious items in the spirit stone shop with Jin Xiao Tang. Finally he only took a 9700 year old Black Turtle Spirit Stone. This would be used to refine a spirit for the Azure Nether Stone Ring. He did not find any other spirit stones that caught his eye, so forget it. He would not forge any weapons this time.

“Xiao Tang, do you have any suitable tempered iron ore here?” He asked.

Jin Xiao Tang blinked and said, “There is, but I don’t know if big brother Ah Yu will like it.”

“Oh, what kind of iron is it? Let me see.”

“Un.”

Jin Xiao Tang walked forward and said to the manager, “Manager Qian, can you take out the iron that couldn’t be refined last time for me to see?”

“Yes, young miss.”

With an order from the manager, a tall blacksmith immediately brought a black piece of iron forward. He wiped it off and his hand was suddenly as dark as ashes.

Jin Xiao Tang said with a smile, “It’s this ‘stinky stone’. It was smelted in the Royal White Iron Workshop for ten days, but it still wouldn’t melt. They called it a piece of stubborn stone, who knows what it really is. If big brother Ah Yu wants it, you can have it for one gold coin…..If you don’t want it, we still have a few pieces of ten thousand year old profound iron as well as several thousand year old profound iron.”

“Oh?”

Lin Mu Yu reached out to touch the black stone and spiritual energy instantly fluctuated in his palm. This rock definitely wasn’t a piece of trash. At this moment, Lulu’s voice came from his mind, sounding very excited, “Big brother, this is the legendary Nine Heavens Spiritual Iron, it is divine iron that came to the mortal world from the heavens. If you can smelt it, you will certainly be able to forge a divine weapon!”

“Is that so?”

Lin Mu Yu used his spiritual sense to say with a laugh, “Then that would be great.”

He pulled out a gold coin from his chest and put it on the table. Then he said with a smile, “Wrap it up, I want this piece of stubborn stone. I want to see just how stubborn it can be.”

Jin Xiao Tang gave a laugh, “Un, un, that’s fine. Manager Qian, wrap up this stubborn stone!”

“Yes!”

After this, Jin Xiao Tang gave a large bunch of Seven Coloured Lotuses and other medicines to Lin Mu Yu, only asking him to refine dreaming of the peak to help increase the dominance of the Imperial Capital Store. Jin Xiao Tang was a girl very skilled in business, doing this made Lin Mu Yu very satisfied. Who didn’t like directly buying something without discussions?

After setting an appointment to pick up the Dragon Snake s.h.i.+elds three days from now at the iron workshop, Lin Mu Yu returned to the Falcon’s Nest.

On Falcon Nest Mountain, the new barracks had already been built. Lin Mu Yu was the commander, so the central dwelling was organized to be his residence. It was very s.p.a.cious and very silent, making him very satisfied.

After eating dinner, he began working. After spending three hours refining, he made one hundred and thirty two portions of dreaming of the peak. Putting aside one hundred portions for Jin Xiao Tang, the rest was kept for himself to give to the high level members of Dragon Courage Camp to use. Promoting the strength of his people was important. Following this, he began refining a spirit into the Azure Nether Stone Ring.

“Weng, weng……”

The alchemy cauldron in the room revealed a dazzling light. Lin Mu Yu was standing outside the cauldron and raised his hand to throw the Azure Nether Stone Ring inside. Instantly, ribbons of flames gathered around the ring, silently feeling out the structure of the Azure Nether Stone Ring. Lin Mu Yu’s spiritual sense slowly pervaded in and he found that the inside of the Azure Nether Stone Ring was very strange. It had the same structure as diamond and was very firm, but the difference it had from diamond was that the Azure Nether Stone had a higher melting point.

However, Lin Mu Yu did not plan on melting and refining it. He directly allowed the fifth layer’s Purgatory Flame to enter the Azure Nether Stone and open the “joints” inside the stone before starting to refine the 9700 year old Black Turtle spirit stone. He used an hour before the spirit stone was refined. With an “ao, ao” sound, the soul of the blue dragon turtle called out in the sky before entering into the Azure Nether Stone.

After a while, the Azure Nether Stone sparkled as it fell into Lin Mu Yu’s palm.

Putting the ring over his thumb, he released his battle qi, instantly causing the Black Turtle spirit to appear around the ring. When one wanted, it could instantly protect its master. The Black Turtle was very proficient in defending and refining its soul into the ring meant creating a defense weapon.

He took off the ring and put it away. Although this Azure Nether Stone Ring was very strong, it looked very ugly. Lin Mu Yu already made his plan to give it to Lei Hong. That old man was the temple’s great deacon, so he should have a defensive item reflective of his status to defend himself with.

Finally, the climax came. He was about to begin refining the stubborn stone, the Nine Heaven Spiritual Iron!
