Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 130: Demon-Destroying Mace, Purple Bronze
A four-sided copper mace with a brass-colored body and purple spots of rust.
But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be rust, but a cloud-like purple color, which is smudged from the inside of the copper texture and looks like rust patterns.
"It says 'Demon Destroying' on it. We call it the Four-Directional Demon Destroying Mace. It is a special weapon that has spirituality."
“Spiritual?”
"The material you will use to strengthen your spiritual power also contains spirituality. A weapon with spirituality, when held by a psychic, will increase the strength of their power. It is like having an enhanced psychic around to assist you."
A weapon that can increase the power of supernatural powers? Sounds great.
"Moreover, it also has a 'demon-breaking' power that can destroy most supernatural defenses. Those who are hit will be unable to use their supernatural powers for a long time."
"But we haven't cracked its production process yet, and we can't produce this material on a large scale."
"If we can mass-produce this material and then channel and infuse it with spirituality, we will be able to repair and restore ancient supernatural weapons."
Zhang Jin placed the Four-Directional Demon-Slaying Mace on the table in the training ground and asked Qiao Ji to scan it.
'scanning.'
[Scanning…]
【Scan completed】
The training ground did not say 'Scan successful' as usual, but instead said 'Scan completed'.
[Some key materials cannot be reproduced. You can consume 0.35 sublimated souls to replenish them. ]
The Four-Directional Demon-Destroying Mace's scan was successful, but not completely successful.
Its form did enter the material library, but it prompted that 0.35 sublimated souls were needed to replenish it.
One third of the soul of an earth-level psychic?
I can't afford it.
In the expectant eyes of Zhang Jin and Qiao Yao, Qiao Ji shook his head slightly, "This doesn't seem to work. There is something missing. I can't manifest it here. It should be spirituality."
They were both disappointed, but also relieved.
If even supernatural materials and spirituality can be materialized, that would be really outrageous. These are super rare resources that are scarce all over the world and are more valuable than gold.
Zhang Jin took away the original Four-Directional Demon-Slaying Mace and put it back into the box.
"It doesn't matter if it can't be materialized. Let's stop the test here for now."
"But..." Qiao Ji suddenly said, "I seem to be able to materialize the part without spirituality."
"You can materialize this material?" Zhang Jin asked in surprise.
They have not yet figured out the manufacturing process for this material, and they are also very curious about how the ancients made it. Some people believe that it was made by ancient psychics.
But such weapons exist throughout ancient history and were not possessed by just one era, so the previous conclusion is not valid.
Qiao Ji did not answer, but directly put the copper mace material, which was not filled with souls and was used purely as a melee weapon, on the table.
A brass-colored demon-destroying mace appeared on the table. Zhang Jin immediately grabbed it and held it in his hand.
"It's true that it has no spirituality, but this kind of material... Li Xian! Li Xian, come here quickly!"
He yelled, calling the operator over.
"Use your supernatural power to check the material of this mace to see if it is purple copper."
Li Xian had never thought that he would be able to see a replica made of this material. He placed his hand on it and closed his eyes.
After several seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "It should be made of purple copper. It became more active after being exposed to the supernatural energy, but it has no spirituality."
Oh My God!
Zhang Jin didn't expect Qiao Ji's ability to be so unreasonable that he could even materialize this kind of material.
As long as it is infused with spirituality, it will become a magic weapon!
Must report quickly.
"You guys take a break first. I'll help you contact them regarding the sale of the materialized materials. Do you have any requests?"
He put away the Four-Directional Demon-Destroying Mace, the clone of Qiao Ji that appeared, and the materials.
Qiao Yao looked at Qiao Ji, "Do you have any requests?"
“Just keep it as simple and convenient as possible.”
"Then you sit down for a while and prepare some gold. I will convert it into cash for you later."
Zhang Jin left with two boxes.
"How much is a little preparation?" Qiao Ji asked.
"How much can you materialize today?" Qiao Yao asked.
"It's two hundred kilograms."
Qiao Yao felt that this guy must have concealed the production volume, "No need to sell too much, just enough for now."
"All right."
Qiao Ji opened a portal and pushed the table over. The golden crowbars on the table fell down with a crash and soon formed a large pile.
"...You are really simple and crude!"
"This is called endless gold rolling in."
Qiao Ji counted out a hundred golden crowbars and put them away, weighing a hundred kilograms, as the goods for the transaction later.
Then he asked Qiao Yao, "Can I go to where you usually work?"
"The project is confidential, so I can't take you to see it."
Didn’t I use my clairvoyance to check the secret?
He was interested in taking a look at the demon's blood, but just a look. He didn't want to use that kind of thing on himself.
Qiao Yao made himself a cup of tea, while Qiao Ji took out a bottle of lemon soda from the training ground.
"When does Aunt Lin get off work?"
"It'll be a little later. I've been busy lately."
"So are you slacking off now?"
"You kid!"
After the meaningless conversation continued for a while, Zhang Jin arrived with his men.
Qiao Ji's extremely high spiritual value reminded him that this person was an earth-level psychic like Xue Youxian.
And this person looks very young, at least his hair is not completely white.
"I heard that a little god of wealth came to the base, and the process replication problem that has troubled us for decades has been solved."
Qiao Ji said modestly, "It has not been solved. I only know the results but not the reasons."
"Qiao Ji, this is Director Xia Xingzhong from the Imperial Mausoleum Base General Manager's Office." Qiao Yao introduced.
The head of the base?
"Director Xia." Qiao Ji greeted.
Xia Xingzhong looks to be about the same age as Qiao Yao, but he is already an earth-level psychic, which means that his spiritual power should be quite high.
"Yes, Zhang Jin has reported to me that your ability can materialize ancient materials whose skills have been lost. This can be said to be the first of its kind in the world, and it has a great impact on the outside world."
Xia Xingzhong started by pointing out the shortcomings, so Qiao Ji stopped talking and waited to see what he wanted to say.
Qiao Ji didn't say anything. Xia Xingzhong seemed to have keenly sensed something. He smiled and continued, "I won't beat around the bush. The materials you materialize will be registered under the name of our Imperial Mausoleum Base and counted as the output of Laboratory No. 4. For the time being, your name will be included in the list of interns. I've approved the spiritual materials you need to increase your spiritual light value. If you need cash, you can also use the base's account."
"That'll do."
Qiao Ji doesn’t care whose name is used, as long as the money is paid.
"Right now, we are in urgent need of materials such as purple copper. You should materialize a batch first. Have you tested the production volume?"
