Chapter 422 – Refining

TL : GoldenLung

Yu Tian said, “I’ll dig a hole.”

Liu Feng said, “I’ll help you.” His White Dragon Spear was also extremely sharp.

Lan Xuanyu looked at Dong Qianqiu and said, “Can you make the ice shelter bigger? It would be easier for us to work. The two of you will be responsible for maintaining the ice shelter.”

Qian Lei said, “Then what should I do?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “You’re quite strong now, so you’ll be in charge of transportation. Huihui, you rest. If any special circumstances arise, such as encountering an unknown enemy, you’ll deal with it.”

“Alright,” Yuanen Huihui replied. He stood the furthest away from Tang Yuge and glanced at her without saying anything.

After dividing up the work, they immediately began.

Firstly, the expansion of the ice shelter. With the assistance of Lan Xuanyu’s silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass, Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin ensured that the area around the ice shelter would be larger and while still being connected to the frozen ground. They expanded the ice shelter to three times its original size. This gave everyone ample space to move around inside.

Yu Tian released his modao, his eyes shone brightly and four soul rings appeared beneath his feet. That’s right, he had four soul rings now, he had completed his breakthrough in a semester.

With a low shout, he swung his modao and immediately, the broad blade cut into the ground. He exerted strength in both arms and with a sudden twist, a hole the size of a millstone was dug out.

Lin Donghui’s head lit up as a red light shot out and landed accurately on the ore. Bathing under the red light, the ores immediately turned red.

Tang Yuge waved her right hand and a layer of faint golden light quickly filled the interior of the ice shelter, isolating the high temperature and preventing the ice shelter from being affected. At the same time, a layer of soft golden light appeared around the ores. The ores started to melt but did not spread out.

Lan Xuanyu gestured towards Yuanen Huihui. The storage bracelet on Yuanen Huihui’s wrist flashed and two silver hammers were thrown in Lan Xuanyu’s direction.

“A soul storage tool?” Bing Tianliang asked in surprise.

Lan Xuanyu smiled as he swung both hammers and smashed the ores. The ores immediately broke into pieces and the smaller-sized ores were immediately calcined more easily.

At this moment, Yu Tian and Liu Feng had already unleashed their Martial Souls, and pieces of ores dug out from the ground were thrown into the calcining spot.

Lan Xuanyu was in charge of breaking them while Lin Donghui was in charge of calcining.

Lan Xuanyu’s silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass wrapped around their bodies to strengthen Lin Donghui, Dong Qianqiu, and Lan Mengqin’s elemental powers.

He could actually calcine the ores himself, but if it would consume too much energy due to multitasking so much. And purely based on the strength of the fire elements, unless he used his bloodline power to assist his Martial Soul, he would not be as strong as Lin Donghui.

And in this place where the elemental aura was dense but the life aura withered, his bloodline power was extremely precious. Unless he used a large amount of soul power to replenish it, it would be very difficult to recover and thus he had to conserve it.

Their coordination was somewhat raw at first, but as time went by, they gradually improved.

Dig out the ores, Lan Xuanyu smashed them, and Lin Donghui calcined them. After the calcining, they were put aside and would solidify. Lan Xuanyu pounded them again and refined them, turning them into a real rare metal. During this process, Tang Yuge helped him adjust the metal elements. Whether it was the calcining or forging process, everything became much easier.

In the end, Tang Yuge changed the metal’s form into cubes and Yuanen Huihui kept them in his storage bracelet.

The rare metal produced at their current location was a very common type of essence metal. It was tough and had an extremely strong ability to conduct soul power. It was about a kilogram for the size of a finger.

After two hours, when everyone’s soul power was almost used up, the refined essence metal was at least 70 to 80 pieces the size of a fist. In terms of weight, it was probably more than a ton.

“This should be enough. Everyone, recover first, then we’ll go to the next place,” Lan Xuanyu said.

At this moment, everyone was very excited. It had been less than three hours since they left the base, but they had already completed the first type of metal excavation. Although it was only one type of metal, the quantity was huge and they had almost 1000 times more than the required quantity.

The key was that they didn’t use much time. There were a total of five days and they still had a lot of time to dig. With the protection of the ice shelter, the hostile environment’s influence on them had decreased to a minimum.

Bing Tian and his team were the most excited. Although they got a little less than the others, it was definitely much more than what they could have gotten on their own. What Bing Tianliang regretted the most was that he didn’t get close to Lan Xuanyu immediately after entering the school. What a pity.

They ate some food and drank some water to recover their soul power. They left the ice shelter and headed to the second place according to the map.

Just as they had predicted, this planet’s environment was too harsh. Powerful airflows could be seen everywhere. The most terrifying thing was that these airflows came without any patterns and were extremely sudden.

In terms of spiritual power, Tang Yuge was the strongest. She would always be able to detect an incoming airflow and the ice shelter would then protect everyone.

Along the way, they walked and stopped numerous times, but at least they weren’t swept by the strong wind.

With Lan Xuanyu’s help, it didn’t consume too much soul power to form an ice shelter. After all, the ice elements here were abundant.

When there were no whirlwinds, they would move forward at full speed and run as fast as they could. Lan Xuanyu used the enhancement of the wind elements on the whole team. With the map, they were able to find the exact location of their destination even if they were blown away by the whirlwind.

Although they were not fast, they were very steady.

Yuanen Huihui asked if they could try being swept away again. They were all supporting each other so it wasn’t too dangerous, but if they were swept away in the air, it might be faster.

But Lan Xuanyu rejected his suggestion. Although he was usually proficient in risky moves, he seemed to be very stable and steady now.

The whirlwind might allow them to speed up, but no one could confirm the direction of the whirlwind. What if it was in the opposite direction? It was better to advance steadily, at least they could control their pace. And control was what Lan Xuanyu cared about the most. This way, he could calculate the time and rewards precisely to ensure that they completed the mission.

Everyone’s cultivation wasn’t weak; even the weakest among them was at three-ring, and they moved extremely quickly when they were moving at full speed.

Resource Planet Number Four was just a small planet, and its surface wasn’t very big, probably not even a thousandth of the Mother Planet. After about four hours, they arrived at their second destination. And in these four hours, there were close to three hours of walking back.

That’s right, Lan Xuanyu had brought everyone back to the base first. The reason was very simple, because rare metals appeared in all four regions with the base as the center. In other words, moving around the base was the closest path to the other three areas. Previously, they were swept away, so they were sent far away. Now that the situation was under control, it was undoubtedly the most convenient way to complete the collection of four types of rare metals.

The construction of the ice shelter began once again. Compared to the first time, everyone’s coordination this time was much better. Digging and refining. After the 36th hour on Resource Planet Number Four, they had already gathered all four types of metals. Under Lan Xuanyu’s control, the total amount of these four types of rare metals was just enough to fill up all five cubic meters of space they had in the storage bracelet.

Excited. At this moment, everyone in the team was in a state of excitement. The five days given by the academy were calculated based on the 24 hours of a day on the Mother Planet, and that notion of time was completely unrelated to Resource Planet Number Four.
