A living sword?
A rank 3 superalloy weapon?
It can even be trained?
The huge amount of information flooded Tang Ling's mind. He was a poor kid and a bumpkin. His journey to where he was today had been arduous, so he never dared to dream of being hit by a treasure.
Never would he have thought that a strange dagger that he randomly picked up from the Agnes family would be such a powerful item.
"Ignorant." Boss Huang shook his head. Tang Feng had been in the limelight for many years, so he must have had a lot of good stuff. Why did he not leave some for the dumb kid?
On second thought, Boss Huang's mind was a mess. Tang Feng's death was a mystery. Otherwise, why would he treat his son this way?
Of course, the dumb kid was also lucky to be able to get his hands on a Level 8 Purple Demon plant seed, which was something good in Boss Huang's eyes.
"Boss, why is it a living sword?" Tang Ling's heart was racing.
Until now, he could not forget the first time he got close to the rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior, Anthony, in Safety Sector No. 17.
His Night Lightning was so cool! However, Tang Ling heard that the Night Lightning was only a rank 1 superalloy weapon.
Rank 3! Hahaha! Rank 3! Tang Ling felt like he had hit the jackpot.
"It's because it's a living thing. It's the seed of a Level 8 Purple Demon plant! Think about it. How strong is a Level 8 vicious plant's life force? However, the stronger it is, the harder it is to breed. It's the same for vicious beasts, mutated insects, vicious plants, and even humans.
"People used to think that this theory is ridiculous. Later on, they realized that the reason why it's hard to breed is because the offspring of the powerful must carry the genes of the powerful. In order to breed such powerful genes, it requires a lot of resources and life essence.
"Just like in the old civilization, in order for a human baby to survive, the mother must provide a lot of nutrients." Boss Huang did not want to waste his breath, but when he saw Tang Ling's serious and eager gaze, he could not help but add a few more words.
"Once the offspring is born, they will be powerful as well. This seed has a strong life force, so it's not dead yet? " Boss Huang's explanation did not go to waste as Tang Ling immediately understood why it was a living sword!
"Mm-hmm." As he spoke, Ding Dong took out the item that Boss Huang had requested. She carefully held it in a silver container as if she was obedient.
"Pour it into the water." He could not help but remind Tang Ling, "Be careful. Don't get it on your body. Even you can't handle it. You'll get hurt."
Ding Dong was very obedient. She carefully poured the liquid in the silver container into the water. The liquid was transparent, but there were some silver threads in the transparent liquid. As soon as it entered the water, it emitted a cold, spicy smell. The temperature in the smithing room was very high, but standing next to the bucket of water with the magical liquid, Ding Dong felt chills all over his body.
Boss Huang tossed the new Volcano Magma Core into the furnace while he placed the tempered Volcano Magma Core with greyish-white grease on its surface into the liquid.
As the Volcano Magma Core was put into the bucket, the bucket of water emitted an ear-piercing sizzling sound. When it was taken out again, the Volcano Magma Core had already turned into a translucent black, like a black gem.
Boss Huang sized it up and nodded in satisfaction before he started hammering again.
However, this time, he was a lot more casual as he only hammered the Volcano Magma Core into powder.
While he was hammering, Tang Ling seized the chance to ask, "Boss, did you just say the perfect weapon form? There's even training? "
"Since it's the seed of a Level 8 vicious plant, if it grows smoothly, it will naturally become a new Level 8 vicious plant. Even if its final form is like a human's cold weapon — a sword. However, it won't be used by humans because it's a Level 8 vicious plant.
Therefore, when the powerhouses collect the seed, the first step is to use their spirit to modify the plant's brain and remove its ferocious nature. Then, they'll train it artificially and when it matures into a sword, it'll be its perfect weapon form.
"Kid, did you get the point?" Boss Huang glanced askance at Tang Ling and passed the cigarette butt to him without a second thought.
Of course, Tang Ling understood, but because of that, he was a little absent-minded. He took the cigarette butt from Boss Huang, put it out, and tossed it into the trash can in the corner.
Throughout the process, Tang Ling was only thinking about one thing. If this sword takes shape, will it be a sword with thoughts?
Boss Huang probably saw through Tang Ling's thoughts because he chuckled and said, "A human brain is a blessing from the heavens. Do you think a plant can evolve into a human brain just because of the great evolution in the Purple Moon era? It's impossible to even get close to it! Just like the chimpanzees of the old civilization, their genes are very close to humans, but their intellect is only comparable to a human child.
"However, in the Purple Moon era, look at the various mutations of the chimpanzees. Have their intellect surpassed that of humans? No, it's still a long way off. You can view it as a sword with consciousness, but it doesn't mean that it has thoughts.
"Therefore, as a living sword, the most valuable thing about it is that during the process of you nurturing it, it will slowly familiarize itself with your habits and thoughts. I don't think I need to tell you how important that is, do I? "
Is that it?! Fine, even so, Tang Ling's breath quickened. Boss Huang's words meant that the weapon would be perfectly compatible with its master.
Every move and every move would not be a human swinging the weapon, but the weapon and the human would have a slight connection. The benefits were self-explanatory.
"Unfortunately, for some reason, this seed of yours has been damaged to a certain extent." The second stone in the furnace was half-melted. Boss Huang picked it up and placed it on the anvil.
He then picked up the dagger and showed it to Tang Ling. He pointed at the broken part and said, "Look, it's caused by a powerful destructive force. It has damaged its plant brain to a certain extent.
That's why it can't perfectly connect with its mind like the other natural vicious plant weapons. "
"Hmm." Tang Ling felt that it was a pity.
"But it's not all bad news. The good news is that it's been nurtured, so with enough resources, it can quickly recover to its original state. "As Boss Huang spoke, he swung the dagger twice.
Two strong gusts of wind came from the smithing room and left two shallow marks on the wall where Boss Huang hung his tools.
"Did you see the power?" Boss Huang put the dagger aside and raised a brow at Tang Ling.
Of course, he saw it. The special wall in Boss Huang's smithing room was left with two marks by the gusts from the inconspicuous dagger!
The marks were not caused by Boss Huang's own strength. It was no secret that superalloy could release its attributes, just like how Anthony's Night Lightning could release lightning.
"The previous master used a metal element superalloy to nurture it." Boss Huang knew a lot more than Tang Ling, so he was able to see more problems.
The two gusts of wind just now were emitting the sharpness of the metal element!
"But the Volcano Magma Core is a metal element? Does it need superalloy to nurture it? "Tang Ling's voice grew sharp.
"Don't underestimate the vicious plant weapon! It's stronger than superalloy not only because it has a consciousness, but also because it can fuse at least two or at most four elements! Once you reach Level 8, it's impossible to have a single talent. You have to at least have two talents!
"The more talents you have, the more elements you can fuse with. A vicious plant like the Blood Blade Bulrush happens to have three elements: metal, fire, and earth. Otherwise, why do you think your dagger is stuck to the Volcano Magma Core? It instinctively needs to recover. "
Boss Huang then covered his chest with his hand.
Tang Ling was shocked. He looked at Boss Huang in doubt. "Boss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's just that my heart hurts." As he spoke, Boss Huang glanced over at Ding Dong, who had nothing to do in the smithing room. He said, "Go to the first shelf of the storage room, drawer No. 72. Bring me one of the things inside. Hmm, something as big as a fist … No, something as big as half a fist will do. "
Tang Ling seemed to realize what Boss Huang was trying to do. If it was as he expected, he would not be able to bear the consequences. Since when did the old fox ever suffer losses? No matter how much he took advantage of him, the old fox would make him spit it back twice as much.
Ding Dong, on the other hand, spun around like nothing had happened. Less than 20 seconds later, she returned with something as big as a fist.
It was a rock that looked like a lump of soil. It was inconspicuous at first glance, but upon a closer look, it was not just a simple yellowish color. It was yellow with a hint of golden glow.
"You little Ding Dong." Boss Huang covered his chest again and said bitterly, "Are you really going to protect that little bastard that much? Didn't you tell me not to take such a big piece? "
"Sigh, Boss, Little Tang Tang is one of us. Why are you so stingy to one of us? "Ding Dong was still acting innocent.
"Who's one of us? Forget it! "Boss Huang's heart ached so much that he could barely breathe.
He had gone all out for this kid. If he could not earn back double the amount, he would cook Tang Ling alive.
Tang Ling's face turned pale from fear. Don't be like this! Boss Huang's sudden generosity is terrifying. It's beyond what I can afford to bet!
With that in mind, Tang Ling quickly shifted the topic and tried to flatter Boss Huang, "Boss, with this Volcano Magma Core and your superalloy, can this living sword recover? Can it reach the perfect form? "
"What kind of dream are you having? Its previous owner didn't even make it reach the perfect form! With these two pieces of superalloy, it can only recover 50% of its peak form! Do you think it's that easy to cultivate a vicious plant weapon?
"We need at least three more pieces of superalloy to return it to its peak form. Then, we need another 10 pieces of superalloy to reach the perfect form! If we cultivate it to surpass the perfect form and recover the Level 8 vicious plant Blood Blade Bulrush's glory, a hundred pieces of superalloy won't be enough. On top of that, the superalloy must match its attributes.
"But its plant brain has been destroyed, so it's no longer worth cultivating." Boss Huang suddenly reacted to the situation. With a sharp pain in his heart, he grabbed Tang Ling's shirt.
"My Golden Wind Stone! It has to stay in a special valley all year round that humans and beasts can't enter. It has to be blown by the strong wind in the valley for many years to form the Golden Wind Stone, and you just swallowed it? "
