377: Chapter 349: Aetherization of the Longsword (Thanks to Chaleon, the Alliance Leader!) 377: Chapter 349: Aetherization of the Longsword (Thanks to Chaleon, the Alliance Leader!) This Fairy’s Streaming Light, put simply, is the power center of a Fae, or the energy source, a superior alternative to the Microtide Pearl and perfectly suitable as the pri material for the Fairy Bloodline.
The Fairy Potion formula provided by the Ellen Family had so minor differences from the one Ian got from Teacher Hiliad—the latter required a ‘nourishing extract from a Spirit Energy Plant’, whereas the Ellen Family’s version modified this ingredient to a ‘high-purity Psychic Essence Solution’.
The forr is rare and expensive and, as the na implies, can ensure a certain growth in the physical quality of those who take the potion, even nourishing the soul to so extent.
The latter is quite common, for Ian could extract a bottle himself from the sap of the Redwood Forest tree cores, obviously not as precious as the forr.
However, it would still allow a person to advance to beco a Fae.
“Anyway, it’s just a reason that allows to advance to the Second Energy Level normally, I’ll prepare a bottle of Spirit Substance Solution first.”
After predicting a bit, Ian realized that Teacher Hiliad’s version was better, surprisingly though, the one from the Ellen Family wasn’t bad either.
It seems this is indeed the direction of civilization’s advancent, where the best choice isn’t necessarily the optimal one, only the heritage with high cost-performance is a good inheritance.
Ian closed the box, knowing that the nourishing extract from the Spirit Energy Plant was produced in South Ridge, which was a specialty of the primal forest area here.
He planned to check it out after leaving Harrison Port.
“It seems that I really have to first advance to the Second Energy Level through the Fairy Bloodline.”
Ian wasn’t in a hurry; after all, it was only a matter of a few months.
Now that he had the Pri Material of Magic dicine, Yisen Gard’s mother, Lady Afrina, once she confird her son was truly safe, would supply him with the remaining materials, which he could then simply pick up from the Platinum Iridium Workshop.
Now, having obtained the brand-new alchemy equipnt, Ian thought the most important thing was to imdiately enhance his Heavy Abyss Iron Sword.
The youth lifted the longsword, its dark blade as if absorbing light, similar to the Abyss, exceedingly heat-resistant, able to withstand the wear and tear of intense combat, and capable of increasing its weight through the input of Origin Quality to utilize the unique ‘Blunt’ sword techniques of The Unyielding Fortress series.
Put bluntly, it’s a combat technique that combines the effects of slashing and blunt weapon damage.
These are the features of Heavy Abyss Iron, which also speak to its value, but as a result, also make it easily recognizable for its special characteristics.
Following Master Gossay’s suggestion, he needed to plate the longsword with a protective layer of Seraph Silver, which wasn’t a difficult skill, with the emphasis on how to do it better.
Apart from what Ian had planned before, using the properties of fine gold to assist in solidifying the edge of the Seraph Silver and create an edge on this ‘Blunt Longsword’, he also planned to pair the ‘sword embryo’, as referred to by Master Gossay, with the appropriate Inscriptions.
“I have already mastered many high-level Inscriptions, and both Seraph Silver and Heavy Abyss Iron are the most suitable sublimated tals for Inscription foundations.”
Ian recalled the Aether Material Conversion Inscription that the ch Church Nun had.
The storage Core Chips of the Spiritual Tool Church and others were handed over to the White Mist Bishop by Ian, to be transferred by the Four Great Orthodox Churches, which can avoid many troubles.
It must be admitted, the Spiritual Tool Church indeed has unique accomplishnts in Inscriptions and chanization; the equipnt that can multiply the combat power of its associates, such as the heavy machine gun carried by the nun, showcases their distinct advantages.
The fact that the Captain and the Nun could join hands to combat the Giant Golden Centipede of the Second Energy Level was due not only to the Giant Golden Centipede essentially being a repair machine but also because of the formidable combat ability the Nun possessed when equipped with the corresponding weapons.
Ian knew that to affect larger things, the Inscriptions also needed to be larger and more nurous, hence the Heavy Machine Gun’s Aetherization Inscription was as large as a person’s chest.
But a longsword is different; an Aetherization Inscription for it probably only needs to be as big as its hilt.
Carrying a longsword capable of Aetherization on his person was definitely worth Ian’s effort.
No sooner said than done.
Before inscribing the Inscriptions, he needed to prepare the base first.
Though Seraph Silver is precious, it is not difficult to work with.
Ian used the Fire Elental Furnace to heat and soften it and employed the Earth Elent to catalyze it, spreading it evenly over the surface of the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword.
During this process, the Alchemist needs to maintain their Origin Quality in constant oscillation, a task typically impossible to achieve without a dedicated ‘Source Oscillator’, which is not only uncommon as an alchemy tool but also costs over two hundred Talle.
However, with the assistance of the Silver Chip, Ian could accomplish this task.
The question arises, does he need to do it all by himself?
“Thank you, Yisen, for providing a set of alchemy equipnt, even including the Source Oscillator.
It saved so much trouble.”
It was only now that Ian truly felt the comfort of alchemy—there was no need to do everything personally, only to use Foresight View to predict the correctness of operations and decisions before letting various specialized instrunts do the work.
Alchemy like this, aside from being simple and easy, couldn’t be described by any other words.
No wonder so Noble Alchemists boast that they can concoct hundreds of Elite Potions in a single day; he himself could do that!
Ian felt that if he had enough raw materials and relevant automated alchemy tools, a few hundred bottles a day would an he was being lazy.
After the Seraph Silver plating was complete, it was ti for fine gold.
The fine gold particles obtained from the ruin repair shop might not add up to even a small chunk of Seraph Silver, but its processing difficulty was far greater than the latter.
It could only be plated on the target weapon bit by bit in ‘lines’ through a thod known as vacuum electric current vapor deposition.
Needless to say, this was another special kind of alchemy instrunt.
No wonder they say alchemy impoverishes three generations, inscriptions destroy a life.
Fortunately, Yisen Gard had everything sorted out for him—perhaps Master Gossay knew what Ian was up to so he gave so advice.
In any case, the vacuum electric current vapor deposition equipnt was also available.
“Lucky for , Master Gossay also prepared plenty of Aether Crystals from Glinting Crystal Clams for .
Apart from serving as the pri material of magic dicine, I still have plenty left over, good for making Light Ink as well as being power sources,” Ian muttered softly while operating the instrunts.
The alchemy equipnt was one thing, maintenance costs at most; power sources were the real expense.
He didn’t have much fine gold, and plating it was not difficult.
Overall, it ant fixing the blade edge with fine gold on one side of the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword, while the other side remained the Blunt Greatsword, which could make use of the Sand Armor Apprentice’s blunt combat skills.
Silver-blue electric arcs lit up one by one, then hamred the materials onto the sword blade serving as a base.
So ti later, when Ian picked up the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword again, this black tal longsword had taken on an ethereal luster, a dark sheen tinged with a hint of gold.
If it were an ordinary Blacksmith or an Ordinary Alchemist, it should be considered a great success at this point—a fine gold-plated longsword, a newly minted excellent weapon fresh out of the forge.
But Ian, besides being an Alchemist, was also an Inscription Master.
So he picked up the Photolithography Pen and activated Foresight View and the Silver Chip.
The structure of the Aetherization Inscription was etched in his mory.
The youth directed the sparkling flow of light on the tip of the pen with his spirit, beginning to inscribe on the hilt.
His Origin Quality constantly shifted and oscillated, etching lines on the base of various depths and widths, yet all contained a certain rhythm.
He controlled the output of his Origin Quality, engraving the most complex and precise structures on the sturdy tal layer.
A fine sh structure slowly unfolded at the hilt, then approached completion.
A sword-sized object did not require overly complicated inscriptions.
In just half an hour, Ian replicated the inscription structure from his mory into reality.
“It feels even smoother than before…
Indeed, my spirit energy has improved a lot in the Labyrinth, and consequently, my ntal strength, attention, and self-control have all increased significantly!”
Putting down the pen, Ian eyed his hand closely.
He felt that his level of precision in processing had beco absurdly fine…
With a bit more honing and adaptation, like his old seniors, machining machine tools or even airplane engines with his bare hands wouldn’t be a dream!
And this ability, if applied in combat, might be a bit of an exaggeration to call it ticulous, but sufficient to create all sorts of clever forces and achieve incredible effects.
And the final step was the Light Ink.
Ian took out the Elental Photonic Ink that he had conveniently prepared while plating with fine gold.
This Elental Crystal Light Ink, derived from the Glinting Crystal Clams, sparkled like fireflies.
When dropped into the grooves, it activated them instantly.
Humming—the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword almost completely vanished in an instant, leaving only the hilt inscribed with inscriptions.
It was just like a lightsaber generator.
Seeing this spectacle, Ian couldn’t help but reveal a sincere smile.
—It seed that, whether it was alchemy or inscriptions, he had completely mastered both skills.
Aetherization Inscription, a grand achievent!
