Chapter 2148: Alchemy (5)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The key to alchemy was to master the flame to smelt metals. Ordinary flames could not extract the spirituality in metals. Only special flames could enforce mechanical creatures with vitality.
In the Brilliance Continent, although there were many blacksmiths, the products they could make were all inanimate. Only metals with real spirituality had the profound meaning of alchemy.
The reason why the Azure Dragon Family could become the number one blacksmith family in the Brilliance Continent was because of the azure flame that had been pa.s.sed down for generations. It was said that the flame of the azure flame was taken out by the founder of the Azure Dragon Family from the depths of a distant ice pool. This flame was not afraid of water and could continue to burn in the ice forever.
The Azure Dragon Family’s Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was forged by tempering it with the azure flames. It could be said that after the battle between G.o.ds and devils, the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was the closest weapon to a sacred tool.
There was a fundamental difference between blacksmiths and alchemists. The best blacksmiths could only force out a little of the soul in the metal. At that point, it did not even have any form of cognitive ability. Just like a sharp sword that had drunk countless blood, it could form a great tacit understanding with its master, but it was absolutely impossible for it to speak like Momo One and Momo Two!!!
!!
If blacksmiths were forging, then alchemists were creating.
A new life was created from scratch.
Alchemists cared more about the spirituality in the metal than the metal itself.
Shen Yanxiao was completely speechless after sc.r.a.pping hundreds of pieces of black iron.
All her actions were according to the procedures recorded in the alchemy book, but she did not know what went wrong. Every time she used the flame to extract the soul in the black iron, the soul in the black iron would suddenly disappear without a trace. This was clearly a mistake in her control of the fire. Because she had burned the metal for too long, causing the soul to dissipate.
But she did not make any mistakes, right?
Shen Yanxiao was depressed. For a long time, no matter what she learned, it was always at her fingertips. She did not expect to fall so hard in alchemy. For an entire day and night, she did not even have a semi-finished product!!!
The tragic fact had dealt a deep blow to Shen Yanxiao’s confidence.
If this continued, Shen Yanxiao was not confident that she would succeed. She simply sat cross-legged on the ground and placed the small furnace containing the smelting fire and a piece of black iron in front of her.
“What exactly went wrong?” Shen Yanxiao crossed her arms and frowned.
The fire that Momo An provided her was the most common smelting fire used by dwarven alchemists. This kind of fire was less active than the azure flame in the Brilliance Continent. Although it was impossible to create a complete soul, it was not a problem to smelt some spirituality out.
After all, Momo An and Momo Ke also used this flame.
But why did something go wrong when it was in her hands?
Shen Yanxiao was sure that there must be a problem with the fire. Otherwise, the soul in the black iron would not have dissipated so quickly at the last moment.
Shen Yanxiao wanted to try another kind of fire. She found Momo Ke and asked.
However, Momo Ke told her that there was only one type of smelting fire in the Momo Tribe.
At this moment, Shen Yanxiao really wanted to cry but had no tears.
Ordinary flames could not smelt the soul in the metal, and the Momo Tribe could not take out other flames, so Shen Yanxiao’s alchemy experiments had to stop.
“Where can I get mutant flames?” Shen Yanxiao was vexed.
