Chapter 99: Adding a touch of fantasy to the soul guidance technology

Before long, the image on the screen directly in front of the three changed, and a crystal-clear, ice-green crown was displayed on the soul guide screen.

At the same time, that sweet voice rang out again:

"As you can see, this item is called the Ice Jade Frost Heaven Hoop. When you continuously inject soul power into this item, it can be transformed into the ultimate ice attribute when the amount of soul power reaches a certain level."

"The downside is that the amount of Ultimate Ice Soul Power will be greatly reduced after the conversion. A three-ring Soul Master can only release three Soul Skills in the form of Ultimate Ice after converting all Soul Power."

Furthermore, this item will only be usable for less than three years; after that, it will be nothing more than a fairly ordinary piece of jewelry.

The Ice Emperor's icy voice suddenly rang out in Lin Dong's sea of ​​consciousness:

"Damn humans, they actually dared to venture deep into the far north and steal my remains. These are byproducts left behind after my body decomposed into a smart soul ring."

Lin Dong couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you let me hold it back then? As soon as Tianmeng merged with it, you told me to preserve its remains."

"You have already perfectly inherited my abilities, and you also possess that mysterious Ice Ancestral Symbol. Your soul power is already the ultimate ice, so you don't need this at all."

"Rather than letting you bring it to the human world, it's better to let it disappear on its own, buried forever beneath the snow in the far north."

Lin Dong didn't have much of an objection to this. After all, the conversion of Yuan Power had been successful, and he could switch between Yuan Power and Soul Power at any time. The ultimate attributes that others cherished were just something he could do casually.

"Lin Dong, I told you there was something good. Buy it for me. I'm just missing a beautiful crown for my graduation party."

Lin Dong hummed in agreement and did not object. It was Jing Hongchen's card, so it was reasonable for Meng Hongchen to use it.

Xiao Hongchen, however, looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy. They had already started spending money on each other; this couldn't go on!

But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't possibly have millions of dollars in cash on him all at once, and his grandfather hadn't given him an unlimited black card like he had given Lin Dong.

Seeing Lin Dong agree so readily, Meng Hongchen's already pleasant mood became even more cheerful. She cupped her face and quietly waited for the auctioneer's bid.

After she finished explaining the origin of the Ice Jade Sky Hoop, a clear female voice rang out:

"Ice Jade Sky-Cold Hoop, starting bid: two million gold coins!"

The price announcement caused an uproar. Although the ultimate features were very attractive, anyone would hesitate because of the pain of spending so much money to buy a trial card that required regular top-ups to use for three years.

But the voice rang out again, from the familiar number one VIP room: "Two million and one hundred thousand."

There seemed to be some wealthy businessmen with considerable influence in the audience. Desperate to surprise his daughter, he disregarded the risk of offending anyone and immediately made a bid:

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

"Two million one hundred and eleven thousand!"

"Two million two hundred thousand!"

"Two million two hundred and one hundred thousand!"

The wealthy businessman saw that the person upstairs didn't seem angry, but since he only raised the price by ten thousand each time, wouldn't the person be able to match his bid no matter how much he raised it?

Although this fantasy world is too "civilized" and he has never heard of anyone getting into a feud over bidding at an auction, he is not very good at understanding the temper of important people, and what just happened was risky enough.

Thinking of this, the wealthy businessman dared not bid any further. It wouldn't hurt to try and find a way to give his daughter a surprise instead.

In the end, Lin Dong successfully bid for the Ice Jade Cold Sky Hoop for 2.21 million. Meng Hongchen was instantly in a great mood, and the corners of her mouth turned up:

"Finally, he's starting to keep his word. That's the kind of man people like."

Lin Dong ignored the teasing tone in her words and simply smiled faintly:

"Now you can leave, Miss Meng."

Meng Hongchen smiled and nodded, about to leave with Lin Dong. Xiao Hongchen, watching this scene silently from the corner, couldn't help but mutter a complaint:

"Hey, am I even human? You two tell me, am I even human? So I came to this auction just to eat a Iron Fist Tiger?"

Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance, unsure of what to say for a moment. Meng Hongchen, however, didn't mind adding insult to injury, saying calmly:

"It's good enough that there's food at all. Grandpa showed you the list, but you didn't like any of it. Besides, you insisted on coming with me. I didn't beg you to come."

Looking at his sister, whose right-hand man was an outsider, Xiao Hongchen was speechless for a moment, and could only let out a soft hum, sit up from the sofa, and walk towards the door.

Upon seeing this, the waiter quickly stepped forward to open the door for the three of them, handed them the items they had purchased, and then watched them leave.

Meng Hongchen held the Ice Jade Cold Sky Hoop in her hands, playing with it with a smile. Lin Dong glanced at Meng Hongchen and the other woman indifferently and said softly:

"Now that we have the goods, I need to talk to the dean about some things. You should go back to your lodgings first."

Meng Hongchen was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "That's perfect, I also have something to discuss with Grandpa, let's go together."

Xiao Hongchen quickly chimed in, "I'll go too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong countered with a question: "You don't seem to be qualified to enter Mingde Hall, do you?"

Meng Hongchen's face turned cold, and she bit her lip lightly. After a long while, she squeezed out, "You're ruthless."

Xiao Hongchen pouted, somewhat unconvinced:

"This genius will soon officially become a Level 5 Soul Master, and then I can enter the Mingde Hall. What's so great about that!"

After successfully sending the two away, Lin Dong went to Mingde Hall alone. Upon meeting Jing Hongchen, Lin Dong clasped his hands in greeting and smiled:

"Dean, I have successfully obtained the furnace, but I still need some materials to achieve my goal. Do you have any suitable gun-shaped weapons or unique metals?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen was taken aback at first, then stroked his beard and stammered:

"It seems there is one, a level four soul tool for close combat. And I remember you seem to be able to use some lightning power, so that gun should be quite suitable for you. Wait a moment, let me look for it."

Jing Hongchen rummaged through the table and found a black box with slips of paper containing students' exam papers from various levels pasted on it. A thought struck him, and a moment later, a spear about eight feet long appeared.

Its entire body shimmered with deep blue-purple lightning, as if it contained endless lightning power. The spear tip was sharp and gleaming with a cold light, as if it could tear apart any obstacle.

The gun is engraved with intricate thunder dragon patterns. The core array formed by these dragon patterns can withstand a certain degree of thunder power.

The grip is made of rare zirconia stone, which has a warm and smooth feel like jade, and can also effectively prevent lightning backlash, ensuring that the user can control it at will.

After hearing Jing Hongchen's explanation, Lin Dong's face lit up with joy: "Is this a level four soul tool, Dean? It doesn't look simple at all."

Jing Hongchen explained with great patience: "Hehe, you actually figured it out. This is Mika's work that passed the Level 4 Soul Master assessment. It has quite a connection with Old Man Mi."

The grandfather and grandson were obsessed with storing and utilizing lightning, but as you know, the power of heaven and earth is too terrifying; no one can easily control it. So this spear only looks imposing; in reality, it's just a silver spear with a candle tip—good-looking but useless.

Upon hearing his description, Lin Dong accepted the introduction to the spear with a look of astonishment.

This spear is called the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear. The tip is inlaid with diamonds and refined gold, making its sharpness self-evident. The body is made of thunder crystal, which can conduct the power of lightning. The thunder pattern stone on the handle can prevent lightning backlash.

The core internal formation was created by my grandfather and can store a certain amount of lightning power, but it can only be extracted little by little from the lightning crystals. Under no circumstances should you attempt to use the power of heavenly lightning.

After reading the introduction, Lin Dong finally understood why Jing Hongchen called him a silver spear with a candle tip. Indeed, the use of the power of heaven and earth was still too difficult for them.

The lightning power extracted from the lightning crystal is not only time-consuming and laborious, but its power also fails to meet the desired requirements.

However, it was only a test piece for a fourth-level Soul Master. As long as it looked good, that was enough. As for its practical use, that was left to Lin Dong's next experiment.

"Hehe, so, do you still want this? If you do, just take it."

Looking at Jing Hongchen's kind smile, Lin Dong nodded:

"Thank you, Dean, but... I would also like about two kilograms of Thunder Crystal Stones, and about fifty grams of Diamond Refined Gold."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen explained with a look of shock:

"This special rare metal called diamond gold is extracted from refined gold."

Generally speaking, only 30 grams of diamond gold can be extracted from one kilogram of refined gold. Because it is too luxurious, this rare metal is rarely used, but its properties are quite powerful.

In addition to possessing the excellent soul power conductivity of refined gold, diamond refined gold also has the characteristic of amplifying soul power fluctuations through its internal tight refractive structure.

Among soul tools, there is an extremely rare and special soul tool called the Soul Power Amplifier. Its core material is this diamond refined gold.

The Soul Power Amplifier itself doesn't have a Soul Tool level, but any Soul Tool that gains it will increase its level by one. (Except for level nine Soul Tools.)

After listening to his explanation, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:

"This soul power amplifier sounds pretty good. Could you please get one for me while you're at it?"

After listening, Jing Hongchen struggled for a moment. Of course, he wasn't heartbroken about the precious materials. He had placed such high hopes on Lin Dong, so these materials weren't worth his pain.

He paused for a moment and then added, "The soul power amplifier is naturally no problem, but I must remind you that although this diamond gold is good, it also has some of its own characteristics. The most important characteristic is that it is hard enough."

Even a level nine Soul Master would find it extremely difficult to carve diamonds and refined gold with a carving knife. Without powerful Soul Force and a sturdy carving knife, it would be impossible to leave any mark on them.

Seeing how thoughtful he was, Lin Dong smiled and explained:

"Dean, I know that this diamond gold has an extremely high hardness, but I do have special requirements. I will do my best to resolve this matter. Thank you for reminding me, Dean."

Seeing his persistence, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Well, he figured the kid probably didn't know much about soul tools and was just too confident.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

He nodded and instructed the waiter, "Prepare the Soul Power Amplifier, two kilograms of Thunder Crystal Stones, and fifty grams of Diamond Refined Gold."

"yes!"

After the waiter left, Jing Hongchen slowly spoke:

"Carving this diamond and refined gold requires a suitable carving tool. Do you want to use the carving tool you used on the day of the competition? If not, I can send someone to find you one."

"Who said I was going to carve it? I'm going to melt down all those diamonds and refined gold and stick them all to the spearhead. With its hardness, even the Michaela Shield probably won't be able to withstand it."

Seeing Lin Dong's slightly pleased face, Jing Hongchen's expression froze, and he smiled somewhat unnaturally:

"Are you kidding me, Lin Dong? Melting diamonds and refined gold? How is that possible! Whose flames could melt it? I'm afraid only the ultimate flames could possibly succeed."

"But even Shrek Academy doesn't have the Ultimate Flame yet, let alone you, who doesn't even have fire-attribute soul power. What are you going to use to forge it? Don't try to fool me."

Lin Dong shook his head calmly after hearing this: "I am a serious dean. I have my own methods, and there should be a 60% chance of success."

"Sixty percent? You can't even summon fire, how could you possibly succeed in smelting it? Don't be ridiculous, just focus on studying the formation."

Seeing Jing Hongchen's incredulous expression, Lin Dong smiled helplessly:

"I can't explain it to you clearly in a short time. I'll do it for you on the spot once the materials arrive."

Looking at his confident face, Jing Hongchen nodded, but the suspicion in her eyes did not lessen in the slightest.

Soon, the waiter returned with the materials, and Lin Dong took out the rare metals and displayed them one by one in front of him.

Jing Hongchen stared at the cauldron he had summoned, a look of disbelief on her face:

"You want to use this thing to complete the experiment you mentioned? Although it has an array that can convert energy into flames, you should only be a level 33 Soul Master right now."

With your soul power reserves, you wouldn't even be able to melt two kilograms of thunder crystal, let alone diamonds and refined gold. You'd be forced to stop due to soul power depletion. No, this concerns your safety; it can't be taken lightly. I cannot agree to this.”

After listening to Jing Hongchen's analysis, Lin Dong smiled and shook his head:

"I didn't say it was using soul power. It's a bit complicated to explain, but you'll understand after you read it."

Seeing his insistence, Jing Hongchen said no more, sighed and nodded, but his eyes suddenly became more serious, as if he would stop Lin Dong if something went wrong.

After all, if something happened to Lin Dong here, a lot of people would hold him accountable.

Seeing that he no longer spoke, Lin Dong gently placed his hand on the cauldron's fire mouth. The Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Thunder Ancestral Symbol in his spiritual sea pulsated, and the Yuan Power Seed in his dantian beat like a heart. At the same time, the Eye of Life opened.

A strange energy continuously spewed from his hand, passing through the crater and transforming into a flame of peculiar color. Although the main body was black, the core of the flame was a vibrant green, and at the tip of the flame was a wisp of purple light.

Looking at the astonishing scene before him, Jing Hongchen's suspicion vanished instantly. The flames were simply too mysterious; he couldn't discern the composition of the energy within them.

He increasingly felt that every decision he questioned Lin Dong ultimately ended in the latter's victory.

Seeing that the flames had been successfully summoned, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief, using the power of the two ancestral symbols and the Blade of Life Watch.

Forget about diamonds and refined gold; even if diamonds and refined gold came, they would obediently turn into liquid.

Lin Dong picked up the two-kilogram thunder crystal in front of him and threw it directly into the cauldron. The moment it came into contact with the mysterious flame, the thunder crystal began to slowly melt.

After nearly an hour, the two kilograms of lightning crystals were finally transformed into a pool of purple liquid under Lin Dong's control, with faint flashes of lightning on it.

Lin Dong quickly adjusted his state, then without hesitation, picked up the fifty grams of diamond gold and threw it directly into the furnace.

The diamond gold did not melt immediately upon contact with the purple flame tip, but upon contact with the blackish-green flame, the originally hard gold instantly softened and became as brittle as paper.

Jing Hongchen's astonished face froze completely; he was speechless with shock and didn't know what to say.

Staring blankly at the scene before him, he shook his head, both amused and exasperated. A hint of relief flashed across his eyes, which had been extremely serious just moments before.

It seems I was overthinking things. This kid's talent is undeniable.

Because diamond gold is several times harder than ruby, the metal refining process took much longer this time, a full three hours.

As the diamond-like gold completely transformed into silvery-white liquid, Lin Dong felt his mental energy becoming somewhat fatigued and sighed inwardly.

"Looks like I still have to use this. It's been so long since I've felt mentally exhausted."

He took out the Qingling Anhun Orchid from yesterday's auction, took a sip, and the cooling sensation instantly rushed to his brain. Even the flames in the cauldron became much clearer.

Having made ample preparations, Lin Dong no longer hesitated, grabbed the icy-cold spear, and threw it down from the mouth of the cauldron.

Under his mental control, the liquid directly adhered to the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear. To Jing Hongchen's puzzled expression, the liquid formed from the thunder crystal directly adhered to the spear.

What did Lin Dong mean by this? He didn't know that this Thunder Crystal contained the power of lightning. Once he held it in his hand, he would probably be injured by this power before he could even activate the lightning.

But seeing his calm expression, Jing Hongchen didn't dare to interrupt. Lin Dong's mysterious flame had already slapped him in the face, and he would never question Lin Dong's decision again in the short term.

After about an hour, Lin Dong finally managed to get the liquid to stick in the right place, and breathed a sigh of relief with some nervousness.

"Next comes the most crucial step..."

He still vividly remembered that when Master Cheng was forging the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, he rested for a full five hours before the final step. Although he had the Qingling Anhun Orchid to help him, he was not entirely confident.

Whether this succeeds or not depends on whether the final step can successfully integrate the properties of these metals into the spear. If it fails, all our efforts will be in vain.
