Chapter 101 Soul Refining Furnace
Two days later,
Just the thoughts of the whole continent being held captive and harvested bugged him.
Luis was hunting the undead and storing their soul fire into it when he stopped.
From the vortex, which was in the distance, a knight entered inside this world.
He keeps the vortex open all the time because he will have time to escape once he encounters any dangers.
"Boss, Blue Goblin Blogs has invented something revolutionary. Baron and Mistress sent me to inform you to come quickly."
Luis stopped hunting the Undeads and returned with two other Undead Mages, Raksha and Dickson.
"What did the Blue Goblins invent this time?" While walking, Luis questioned the informer knight.
"Boss, I dont know what it is, but it is a huge steel behemoth. I was shocked looking at it.
Luis nodded hearing this; it seems it was huge machinery. Maybe it is a puppet.
After walking for a few moments, they reached the goblin workshop.
There were many knights outside of it with shocked expressions on their faces.
After seeing him, they bowed their heads in respect. He returned the gesture and stepped inside.
The sight in front of him shocked him greatly. A huge metal structure was in the room. Several meters tall and around ten meters long made it a prominent feature in the room. The surface of the structure was some kind of shiny metal.
"My god, what did blogs create?"
Luis was shocked; he felt like he was back on earth watching the huge machines.
Blogs, standing next to Felipe and Olivia, noticed Luis and beckoned him over.
"Boss, come here! Let me show you our Blue Goblins' latest invention: the 'Soul Melting Furnace'!"
Luis neared blogs with a face full of questions.
"Boss, this thing is 'Soul Melting Furnace,' an automatic weapon refiner that can be operated by a few ordinary people."
"Hmmm"
"Boss, let me tell you about traditional refiners; they..." Blogs then began explaining everything to Luis.
The more Luis listened, the more fascinated he became. This is an industrial revolution in both fantasy and cultivation worlds.
A weapon refiner is one of the hundred arts of alchemy. There are weapon refiners in the fantasy world, but most of them are dwarves with the profession of blacksmith.
A refiner is responsible for taking unrefined materials and processing them to create finished items. They typically work with ores (like copper or iron) and other materials that need to be melted down and shaped.
They use furnaces or forges to heat the raw materials until they melt. Once the materials are melted, the refiner shapes them into the desired form, like a sword or any other tool.
During the shaping, the weapons are injected with spiritual qi to shape them into desired spiritual weapons.
A traditional weapon refiner might take 2-3 days just to refine a weapon. As the manual melting process of the ore takes a long time.
Then there is Soul Melting Furnace, the automatic refiner made by Blue Goblins combining the Ancient Rune Language from Fantasy World and Formation knowledge from Cultivation World.
The Soul Melting Furnace is a specialized magical device used in the weapon refining process. It has different mechanisms and is powered by spiritual sunflower and spiritual moonflower, which supply spiritual energy to it continuously.
For instance, the furnace is divided into distinct parts: the control system, feed port, heating and smelting system, floating system, and discharge port.
The control system allows ordinary people with no extraordinary power to operate and manage the furnace's various functions. It controls the temperature, duration of heating, and other parameters essential for refining.
Feed port is where the raw materials, such as spiritual ores, are added into the furnace.
The heating and smelting system is the core of the furnace, where the actual melting occurs. It generates the high temperatures needed to melt spiritual ores and other refining materials. It is run by the energy provided from Spiritual Sunflower and Moonflower.
Floating System is the system where ancient runes and formations are applied. Here, the material is cooled down and shaped. Then the floating runes take effect, and the material is suspended in midair. Here, further impurity is removed, and the weapon finally takes shape.
The discharge port is the port where the finished weapon is discharged and collected by the workers.
The process of soul-refining furnace is much faster than manual refining.
"Blue Goblins are really innovative," Luis muttered.
"Haha, since we became mutated due to Kaga Ore and gained intelligence. We united the Southern Side of the continent and created a huge empire. If it weren't for everyone attacking us, we might have united the whole continent." Blogs laughed and said proudly.
He laughed but quickly felt the environment change around him.
He realized he was surrounded by humans, and they were staring at him.
"No, I didn't mean it that way." Blogs quickly tried to correct himself.
"Hahaha, blogs if your ancestor had the capability to innovate things like this. Blue Goblins indeed would have united the whole continent." Luis laughed and said.
The world is not changed by absolute control; the world is changed by technology. He sees the hope of modernization through these blue goblins.
Blogs also smiled genuinely after being praised by Luis.
"If you need to do any kind of research, You have full support; I will approve of those things."
Olivia, who was watching silently suddenly interjected. Since her son has spoken in favor of the Blue Goblins, she will support them.
Luis also approved of this. He can rest assured that these Blue Goblins will not betray him because of the reassurance of Vortex, which will make them more loyal to him over time.
Otherwise, he would have been afraid of these Blue Goblin inventions.
"Thank You, Mistress" blogs bowed towards Olivia.
"Show the refining process. I want to see the weapons created by these soul-refining furnaces," Felipe said to blogs.
"Yes, Baron." Blogs nodded and began ordering the other Blue Goblins to operate the furnace.
While the Blue Goblins were operating it, Blogs was explaining every process.
"For this furnace to be operated by an ordinary person. We have already set the process to only refine one kind of spiritual weapon." Blogs showed two kinds of ores in his tiny hands.
"These are the main ores: Silverlight Ore from the fantasy world and Red Fire Ore from the cultivation world."
"What this furnace develops is a 1st level weapon that can be used by Qi refining cultivators."
Luis and everyone were watching the process intently.
The ores were placed from the feed port and were monitored by goblins from the control system. Afterwards, the ores were sent to a smelting system where heat was converted from spiritual energy.
Then, the molten ore was sent to the Floating System Block, where the main and final process began.
The molten ores were smelted into a sword, and various kinds of runic language were engraved on the sword.
"In this section various Ancient Runic languages are engraved; we goblins awakened more of our memories after injecting spiritual energy into our bodies. My brain seems to even function much faster than before."
While the process was being completed, Luis asked some more questions to blogs.
He wanted to know more about Kaga Ore, which gave such intelligence to goblins. Enjoy new stories from empire
But it seems that the Kaga Ore of the whole continent has already been extinct. Many forces wanted to research this ore, which was heavily extracted from underground. And eventually it became a very rare and expensive ore.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"It's done," Blogs shouted excitedly as he walked towards the discharge port.
Luis was keeping track of the time, and this single sword was made in 1 hour, 13 minutes. Much faster than those weapon refiners who take days to make one spiritual weapon.
"I present you the masterpiece of Our Blue Goblins, 'Spirit Seeker Flying Sword.'" Blogs said proudly,
"This is a high-grade 1st stage spiritual weapon according to the world of cultivation."
The spiritual weapons are divided into 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade, which are used by Qi refining, foundation building, and Golden Core. As for beyond that, there is the Natal Weapon.
The weapon grades are subdivided into low grade, mid grade, and high grade.
This means that the Spirit Seeker Flying Sword is the highest-stage weapon that a Qi refining cultivator can use.
"What do you mean by flying sword?" Luis asked curiously; according to his knowledge, only the Foundation Building Cultivator can fly on a sword.
"Hahaha, Boss. This is a new technology." Blogs laughed loudly as he injected his Vortex Qi into the sword.
With the injection, the sword began to float in the air. It drifted to Biggs' feet, and he jumped onto it effortlessly.
"This is possible thanks to a combination of ancient runic language and a close inspection of your Flying Boat, Boss."
Louis chuckled at this.
The Blue Goblins had a fascinating trait: they could pass down their knowledge to their descendants. With each generation, they grew wiser and wiser, their collective knowledge constantly accumulating.
So, it was no big deal that they are knowledgeable, and now due to the spiritual energy of cultivation. They seem to be getting smarter.
