You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 362 - 192: Damn, This Time They’re Coming for Me
Thousand-Year Cold Iron, a special metal that becomes extraordinarily hard after being infused with Primordial Qi and can convert Martial Arts True Qi into ultra-low-temperature cold Qi.
This metal is only produced within Grotto Heavens. The longer it is infused with Primordial Qi, the higher its quality becomes. Thousand-Year Cold Iron is already considered an Upper Grade Treasure.
Nine Heavens Profound Iron, a special alloy mainly originating from beyond the heavens, formed in a high vacuum and zero-gravity environment, thus possessing high temperature resistance, high strength, high toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is an excellent material for Artifact Refining.
True Gold, the finest true Qi transmission conductor.
Purple Gold, the finest Thought Ability transmission conductor.
These two metals are crafted by Qi Refiners of the Profound Sect using the Artifact Refining Secret Technique. Their yield is extremely low, and their prices are exorbitant.
The remaining boxes are filled with Primordial Qi Jades of various attributes. Although their quality is not great, the quantity is enough to keep one well-fed, and their estimated value would not be less than three billion.
It’s evident that the authorities are indeed quite generous, showcasing their immense wealth and resources.
Of course, in this kind of transaction, the authorities are not losing out, considering that Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Scroll is no longer something that can be measured with money or treasures.
A treasure that can increase a martial artist’s chance of stepping into the Martial Saint Realm, such a treasure is worth any great price.
In the days that followed, Ye Qingzhou was busy studying the "Celestial Casting Scripture", wherein a miraculous technique called "Armor Folding Technique" is documented as part of the Flame Emperor’s inheritance.
It is said that during the Three Ancient Dynasties, within the final dynasty, the Radiant Feather Sacred Dynasty, under King Miao, there was an ingenious craftsman who was a descendant of the Master Craftsman lineage. The puppets he created could sing and dance, seeming almost alive.
This "Armor Folding Technique" is also recorded in the "Celestial Casting Scripture".
Ironically, at the end of the Radiant Feather Sacred Dynasty, due to the warring states, leading to the unification by the Qin Dynasty, the lineage of the Master Craftsman, along with the Moo Family’s demise following the First Emperor’s death and during the Chu and Han contest, became completely lost.
"Intelligent machines from the Ancient Era?"
Ye Qingzhou was skeptical. The human civilization of Blue Star’s Ancient Era should have reached a peak of splendor, whether it be the Martial Arts system "revived" two hundred years ago or the numerous lost Secret Technique inheritances in the "Celestial Casting Scripture". Even now, these things are quite unbelievable.
Ye Qingzhou couldn’t help but speculate on what great calamity the Ancient Era might have encountered to bring such an illustrious mythological era to an end.
Now, only segments of incredible myths remain of the once-glorious tales, allowing people today to see only fragments of the past’s splendor through the eyes of a bystander.
However, Ye Qingzhou was not someone who blindly worshipped the past while belittling the present. The times are advancing, technology is progressing, and today’s human race martial arts, combined with the path of science, can also create an unprecedented era of prosperity.
In conversations with Gu Minghui, Ye Qingzhou could tell that Dongji Kingdom is currently undertaking a very grand project, rumored to be called the "Southern Heaven Gate Plan".
Ye Qingzhou didn’t know much more, but from the urgency of the authorities, it was apparent that Blue Star’s situation was not optimistic.
The Southern Heaven Gate Plan is Dongji Kingdom’s preparation to counter the ultimate calamity.
......
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
In the mansion’s backyard, Ye Qingzhou was using Martial Arts True Qi to activate the Six Ding Divine Flame to melt the Thousand-Year Cold Iron and Nine Heavens Profound Iron. Then, using the Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements, he perfectly fused the characteristics of the two materials to forge a special black long sword with serrations.
Every strike was divinely inspired.
Every hammer blow penetrated the metal deeply.
Ye Qingzhou’s Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements technique was flawless, unchangeable, beyond further improvement, pushing human capacity to the limit.
Under his forging, the Thousand-Year Cold Iron, Nine Heavens Profound Iron, and Unbreakable Iron underwent a miraculous chemical reaction.
Their original material properties not only didn’t interfere with each other but rather combined perfectly, possessing the three major traits of Ice True Qi, Solid as Fortified Gold Soup, and Broken Mirror Reunited. Furthermore, it even gave birth to a new weapon trait called Harmony of All Things.
"Harmony of All Things?"
Holding the black sword’s hilt, Ye Qingzhou injected Martial Arts True Qi, causing the blade to emit a buzzing vibrational sound.
This vibration was very peculiar, with a frequency that could be changed at will, and its rhythm bore some resemblance to the Dao Celestial Sound emitted by the Self-Ringing Bell Ye Qingzhou had heard previously in the Yunlu Daoist Palace.
It similarly contained the rhythm of a certain Dao that could affect the internal structures of all things, causing them to loosen.
Buzz~
Buzz buzz~
Ye Qingzhou’s ears twitched, quickly hearing the vibrations coming from nearby. He looked toward the source of the sound and found several leftover pieces of Nine Heavens Profound Iron seeming to resonate due to the black sword’s humming.
Frowning slightly, Ye Qingzhou pondered.
Then.
He slashed towards the resonating Nine Heavens Profound Iron.
Clang~
The first slash was blocked by the Nine Heavens Profound Iron. Being an Upper Grade Treasure-level metal, known for its sturdiness, it was unsurprising that it wasn’t cut through.
However, Ye Qingzhou noticed that the surface of the Profound Iron was covered with a thin layer of frost, evidently frozen by the cold Qi attack of the black sword’s slash.
Clang~
Crack~
The second slash, under the blow of the black sword’s slash, broke the Nine Heavens Profound Iron. The freezing effect of the Ice True Qi made its material brittle, while the resonance trait triggered a resonance, causing the Profound Iron to fracture from within.
"The cooperation between Ice True Qi and Harmony of All Things is quite ingenious. Such destructive power is truly astonishing!"
