Chapter 619: Composite Materials
People say that treasures that even the strongest martial artists envy are hidden in the abyss, but seeing it with my own eyes today, I know that's not the case.
This place can arouse the most primal desires deep within people's hearts. Whether it is family, friendship or wealth, they are all bait released by the curse, leading the target step by step into the abyss from which there is no escape.
"The situation here is ominous; let's leave first."
Chen Futu glanced around the underground space. It was simply an altar set up by the Tianji Pavilion Master to commemorate the White Night Ancestor. There was no inheritance, only danger.
No one dared to delay, and they quickened their pace to rush out of the underground world. As they fled, they heard faint sounds, as if something was climbing up from the abyss.
"Something's coming up from below!"
Lin Ying was terrified and ran away with Hua Hua, her face ashen.
Chen Futu gestured for everyone to leave it alone, and then covered the rear alone. After everyone escaped, he saw the black mist surging and twisting deep in the tunnel, transforming into the most profound childhood traumas in his memory, such as demons and monsters in movies, making gurgling hiccup sounds.
"Pah, that's disgusting."
Before they could get close, Chen Futu swayed and stepped out of the stone gate first. Then, with a wave of his arm, the stone gate slammed shut. The Heavenly Mystery Disc sealed the stone gate, and a layer of transparent array patterns covered it, blocking the black mist that was about to rush out.
"Chen Futu, if you have the ability to save people, then you have the ability to open the door!"
"Chen Futu, look who I am."
"Husband, let me out! I am A-Ning!"
"My husband, it is Zhensu."
The things inside the stone gate kept changing shape, peering out through the cracks in the door, their sinister faces sending chills down one's spine.
Fortunately, the array patterns of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion prevented them from getting out.
"My God, that's terrifying!"
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a bizarre situation. I wonder how the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master managed to bring the corpse of the White Night Ancestor out of the abyss."
Everyone looked grim; what had happened today was beyond their comprehension.
Xi Daoren said, "To be on the safe side, we should reinforce the array patterns covering the stone gate to prevent anyone from recklessly smashing it. If those things are released, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Okay, I'll go prepare right away."
Wang Qianshan and the others solemnly echoed.
Thus, after three days of reinforcing the array patterns, the stone gate was finally hidden, and only a supreme being surpassing the ancient saints could discover its existence.
The group returned to Zilu Academy, all feeling dejected.
However, the news that Chen Futu had killed quasi-emperors and powerful figures from various forces had already spread like wildfire.
Chen Futu is only at the Saint King level, yet he has earned the reputation of being invincible. The outside world mostly laughs at those powerful forces, who dared to attack even though they knew Chen Futu was very strong. Those quasi-emperors ultimately overestimated their own strength and misjudged the destructive power of Chen Futu's trump cards.
The following day, Chen Futu summoned Lin Ying alone to discuss the continued sale of the new Longevity Pill, but it required the exchange of special ores. He also needed to send a message to Chixiao to ensure that the ores seized from various forces were transported back.
What do you need the ore for?
Lin Ying was somewhat bewildered. If powerful armor was to be forged, selective preservation would be possible.
Chen Futu laughed and said, "Space-type storage treasures are too rare. I was thinking about whether we could make a batch of them at a low price."
"You want to ask that mysterious empress to refine it for you?"
Lin Ying's eyes lit up. Storage treasures are extremely rare. Even quasi-emperors would find it difficult to possess them, mainly because there are not many materials that can support the power of space, except for some extremely rare super ores.
If the price of storage space could be driven down, it would be an unimaginable business opportunity, capable of reaping the wealth of the entire continent, since no martial artist is without storage space.
"At this stage, we need to collect various types of ores for research."
Chen Futu made up an excuse. He wouldn't say that he wanted to research composite materials. After all, he was a soul from a technological world and knew about the existence of alloys. With the methods of the martial arts world, there was a glimmer of hope that he could refine composite super stones.
Lin Ying didn't ask any more questions. She mobilized the ores and special stones from the auction house to support the research. As a friend, she would undoubtedly benefit the most from Chen Futu's research.
In the following days, truckloads of precious stones were delivered to the Zilu Academy, and Xi Daoren specially set up a Taoist temple for Chen Futu.
"System, how do I refine special materials that can bear the power of space?"
Please investigate on your own.
The dog system was as unreliable as ever, but that didn't stump Chen Futu. After much pleading and cajoling, the system finally gave him a research direction.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhenzhou returned to its initial tranquility.
Zilu Academy has become a local overlord. Because Chen Futu stays in the academy at all times, no force dares to provoke it. Even the hidden families with quasi-emperors can only grit their teeth and admit the rise of the new overlord.
As for those reclusive families who had previously instigated things behind the scenes, they were relatively well-behaved. Chen Futu didn't have time to deal with them now. If they continued to cause trouble, he would deal with them later.
Winter is a time of silver and white.
The Northern Alliance extended an invitation to the Purple Dew Academy, hoping that the academy would send its disciples to participate in the Northern Grand Competition.
Chen Futu would not participate in such matters, but Qin Hao, Ling Xue, Wang Fugui, and two true disciples, as the best of the Zilu Academy, would definitely be involved, along with some disciples who would serve as supporting roles; there would be at least several dozen of them.
Wang Qianshan arrived at the forging room carrying several bottles of fine wine. "Kid, are you really not going to the Northern Region Competition this time?"
"What's the point of going? It's incredibly boring."
After more than half a year of forging and blacksmithing, Chen Futu had become like a rough blacksmith, with stubble growing out and looking unkempt.
During this time, he also used his spatial power to experiment with many composite materials, but unfortunately none of them could fully withstand spatial fluctuations; some only lasted a day or two before breaking down.
It was precisely because there were no suitable materials to serve as the space that he was able to take on this business opportunity.
"I didn't realize you were such a great inventor. If you could develop a storage device, it would make things much easier for me when I go out," Wang Qianshan muttered to himself.
Chen Futu said, "You take good care of those two disciples for me. If they fight among themselves, you don't need to worry about it. But if any old geezer bullies the younger ones, just tell me using the communication stone."
"Hehe, that's exactly what I've been waiting for. Actually, under normal circumstances, it's not Purple Dew Academy's turn to participate in the competition. It's all thanks to you that we had the chance to compete."
Wang Qianshan seemed to have something on his mind, and he talked on and on for a long time.
In the end, he got completely drunk and staggered away, leaning against the door.
After he left, Qin Hao and Ling Xue came over. These two disciples were very easy to manage. Chen Futu hardly needed to guide them, and they had already reached the peak of the Martial Venerable realm. They were just one step away from stepping into the Great Venerable level.
