Chapter 2328 Mortal Reminder



2328  Mortal Reminder

Tube after tube filled up, as the entirety of the Null Iron Ore was melting away.

The impurities that were present in the ore couldn't endure the high heat and were burned away into nothingness under the fine control of Little Shrubby. The others that had been helping supply the immortal Qi to the array or to heat the ore didn't need to do it anymore, for the beast alone was capable of doing it now.

Not only was he doing that, but he was also keeping the heat contained to one specific area which was the Sky Scorching Claw Dao Embryo. Due to this precise control, the rest of the area was returning to the normal temperature and the heat which was being wasted in normal radiation was now all being concentrated on the ore.

Five minutes passed like this, as the group saw the impressive display of control.

"For a beast to reach the level of Absolute Flame Command at this cultivation base is highly unusual." Lady Kang spoke having witnessed it all. "Though those two bloodlines certainly have something to do with it." She said glancing at the bloodline figures of the Scorch Claw Tiger and the Flash Fire Liger.

"Certainly." Ziran agreed. "And if he's managed to reach Absolute Flame Command, he would have no issues progressing to the point of comprehending Dao Insights." He added.

"Quite likely." Lady Kang nodded.

"Fire Dao Insights… I wonder how long it'll take me to reach that." Crown Princess Shang muttered.

"I wonder that too… probably not until I reach the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm." Daoist Chu agreed. "Unlike someone of us here." He said, glancing at Crown Prince Feng Shun.

"I have no guarantee of comprehending them at my current cultivation base," Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

"I know, but you're still the closest." Daoist Chu chuckled.

"Then I won't be the only one." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, glancing at Lin Mu, who was still fully focused on the task. "Not a single ounce of distraction on his face… If anyone is to comprehend them early, it would be him." He stated.

"Highly likely." Lady Kang couldn't help but nod.

Lin Mu had been busy with the forging with all his being. The Severing Heart Sutra kept him focused and prevented anything else from distracting him. Even the painful cries of his companions did nothing to sway his focus, as he knew the task at hand was far more important.

Plus, they all knew the risks before getting into this and they weren't weak enough to be badly injured by this. Even if they did get injured, they could very well recover after a while.

The risk they took to make a weapon that could kill anything below the Transcendent Immortal Realm was completely worth it.

~DRIP~

After an entire ten minutes had passed, the final drop of Null Iron had filled the last tube and nothing of the ore chunk was left.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath as he could now stop using Magma Fury and use his full focus on his Spatial Skill. Though there wasn't as much to do about that either, as the tubes had already been made and filled up.

'I just need to wait for the rods to cool down now.' Lin Mu thought.

Thankfully, this didn't take long as the rods solidified rather rapidly once the temperature reduced. Due to their melting point being very high, their solidification was also rapid with the temperature drop.

Though Lin Mu didn't know if all the tubes would be of the right quality. He had read enough theory and knew that steady cooling was necessary for a lot of metals, or fine cracks and faults could develop in them.

But when it came to the Null Iron, he didn't know if these factors applied to it. Thus, he could only do his best and hope to do it slowly. There were thirteen Null Iron rods that he had made from all the molten ore and he had hoped that at least half of them would be good enough.

Thankfully, Little Shrubby was there to assist him and helped reduced the temperature around the rods steadily.

They two could just communicate in their minds, thus the process went without a hitch.

Still, it ended up taking them three hours before the rods were brought to a 'stable' temperature such that they could be handled directly.

"Finally…" Lin Mu let out a long breath and released the Meld skill.

~SHUA~

He directly brought the rods to him and held them in his hands.

"Looks like it went well." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, approaching him.

"It seems like it," Lin Mu said, examining each rod with his immortal sense. "How's everyone? The injuries?" "Nothing we can't take care of," Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "We have plenty of healing pills for it." He said without much concern.

He was right to not be as concerned, since most of them had actually healed already. The only one who had not been fully healed yet was Min Ju, since she was the one burned the worst. But with Lady Kang's skills, she would be healed in less than a day's time.

"That's good." Lin Mu replied, feeling a bit more relieved. "How's the yield?" Ziran asked, glancing at the Null Iron rods. "They look to be decent." "Nine out of thirteen." Lin Mu answered. "Better than I expected." "Nine? What happened to the last four?" Ziran asked while Crown Prince Feng Shun wondered the same.

From the appearance, all the rods looked to be the same, having a plain grey color with black striations on them. This was how purified Null Iron looked like and it was rather unique. "Yeah, there's no cracks on them." Daoist Chu, who was hearing from the side said.

"Not cracks… look at the size." Lin Mu held up the four rods that were supposedly faulty.

"The size?" Daoist Chu narrowed his eyes and observed the four rods before realizing something very subtle. "They're… thinner?" he pinpointed.

"Yes." Lin Mu replied. "They shrank a bit more than I had expected." The spatial 'molds' Lin Mu had made with Meld were actually bigger than the core rods that he needed to make. This was because he knew the metals shrank when they cooled down. As such, if he needed the core to a certain thickness, he would have to make the mold bigger and let them cool down to reach that specified size.

Of course, there was no way for Lin Mu to know how much the thermal expansion would be of the Null Iron, thus he could only make molds of slightly varying sizes and hope that they shrank to the right size. It didn't mean that he couldn't adjust the coating of the Immortal Green Gold and Silver alloy, but that such adjustments were limited within a specific range of deviation.

If they were any bigger or smaller, two things could happen.

Either the arrow would be imbalanced and the Null Iron's properties could overpower the properties of the Immortal Green Gold and Silver alloy. Or the durability could be compromised.

Lin Mu had hoped for at least half of them to be successful, but it was an even better result.

It was an almost seventy percent success rate.

And for the very first try, such a success rate could be considered amazing. After all, the methods they had used weren't exactly the most 'stable'.

"I can proceed with these. And I suppose the four unfit rods can be used for something else later." Lin Mu stated.

"Of course." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "Will you now honor us with the creation of the new arrow?" Qiao De, who had been the most excited among them, asked.

"Sure. It shouldn't take long now." Lin Mu said as he moved to the anvil.

His Dao Embryo floated out of his body as a hammer formed in his hand.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

He quickly got to hammering the alloy tubes and made the final adjustments such that the Null Iron rod could perfectly fit it. About thirty minutes later, he finished that and all that was left to attach the final pieces.

~SHUA~

With Meld, Lin Mu attached the Crystal components and held up the entire arrow shaft in air.

~Huu~

"Now the moment of test…" he held up the cursed arrow tip with meld as well and brought them closer.

Everyone watched with bated breaths as the arrow tip and the crystal socket were joined together.

~HUALA~

A wave of energy was felt for a moment, before it all went silent.

"It is done…" Lin Mu muttered, seeing that the curse was wholly stopped.

"Congratulations Daoist Mu Lin… You've possibly made history," Crown Prince Feng Shun said.

"A name! You need to name it!" Qiao De exclaimed.

"Something like this deserves a name." Lady Kang agreed.

Lin Mu thought for a minute before speaking.

"Mortal Reminder."

Worked out too much yesterday and was left sore handed. ಥ_ಥ
