Free Web NovelChapter 482: Chapter 276: Harvesting Supplies, ’Thunder’ and ’Flying Lotus
Ellick was a special case within the Eternal Night Council. He was constantly conducting insane experiments, and the results of some even threatened the other councilors.
Ellick was so mad that he had even used two Lower Members of the Eternal Night Council for human experiments.
As a result, Ellick was excluded from the Upper Council.
However, Ellick had managed to retain a certain status because someone was protecting him.
It was said that his experiments could provide the Chairman and Vice-Chairman with valuable information and experimental evidence.
Therefore, the Blood Crystal Stone left in Ellick’s brain after his death was likely a crystallization resulting from his communication with that foul language, and it did not represent the majority of the Upper Council members.
Fang Zhen didn’t know if this answer counted as completing his mission objective, but it was, at least for now, the most in-depth answer he could obtain.
With that, all of Fang Zhen’s missions for this instance were complete, and he allowed himself to relax.
The meeting soon concluded.
Fang Zhen prepared to return to the real world.
He promised that the next time they met, he would bring alloy steel ingots, antibiotics, and other materials, most importantly, the key raw ingredient for the Blood Burst Secret Medicine: potassium permanganate.
In return for his help this time, he took 200 blocks of energy gel and 15 pieces of alchemical equipment—most of which were this world’s melee weapons.
The trade was handled separately.
Meanwhile, the Extraordinary Long Spear that Fang Zhen had been yearning for had also been forged.
The Whig Society’s Alchemy Master, Rogge, had forged a long spear for him. It was longer than the previous Longquan Long Spear, reaching 2.52 meters in length. The blade featured a specially constructed blood groove and a double-edged tip, giving it the appearance of a pike as much as a spear.
The shaft was forged entirely from the Extraordinary alloy Fang Zhen had smelted. It was engraved with runes for durability, as well as another type of rune that could enhance the power of his Curse Seals.
This rune could increase the power of the Power Mountain Seal by one-third, which was an extremely cost-effective improvement for Fang Zhen, who desperately needed the ability to break through tough defenses.
Furthermore, this Extraordinary metal naturally possessed a thunder attribute. The Alchemy Master’s legacy included modification runes for similar thunder-attribute weapons, which he incorporated into the spear’s design.
When the spear’s runes were activated, the more cursed power Fang Zhen poured into it, the more it would stir up the Thunder Power, causing violent electrical currents to appear along its length.
Once activated, even a sweeping attack with this current could instantly electrocute and kill creatures like wild boars or grizzly bears in a single, fatal strike.
If an ordinary human came into contact with this powerful current, they would either be charred to a crisp or suffer instant cardiac arrest. The current’s lethality was extreme.
Of course, the energy consumption was also immense.
Fang Zhen, however, wasn’t too concerned about the cost, as his source power could easily support such an expenditure.
Besides, he had acquired more than enough energy gel this time; in future battles, he could chew on it like gum.
The long spear’s appearance was exceedingly exquisite. In addition to its inherently cold and cruel aura, the patterns on the shaft were incredibly intricate.
In truth, these were all carved runes designed to channel Fang Zhen’s power. The spear would remain usable for some time, even if he advanced by two or three world difficulties.
Fang Zhen was extremely satisfied and named the long spear Thunder.
On top of that, Fang Zhen had another unexpected gain.
While cleaning the battlefield, the Curse Sealers had recovered some rare alchemy materials from the bodies of the Eternal Night Council members.
When Moon, the Vice-Chairman of the Eternal Night Council, had attacked Fang Zhen, some diamond-shaped metal pieces had fallen from his clothes. freēwēbnovel.com
These metal pieces were an extremely special type of alchemical material. Their function was that as long as one’s Spiritual Power was strong enough, one could use that Spiritual Power—or Telekinesis—to make them fly through the air.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhen asked the Alchemists of the Whig Society to forge a flying disc for him.
This flying disc was somewhat similar to the flying swords wielded by Sword Immortals in cultivation novels.
But Fang Zhen thought it over. ’A flying sword would look cool, but it wouldn’t be stable to stand on. Plus, flying while standing would create a lot of air resistance. That’s not very scientific.’
In the end, he decided on a flying disc. That way, he could stand on it, or sit on it if he got tired.
The amount of metal was just enough to create such a disc, with a diameter of about one meter. With this item, Fang Zhen could use his Spiritual Power to fly short distances.
The forging process wasn’t difficult; the main issue was the rarity of the material.
The Alchemists finished crafting it in just two days.
After receiving the item, Fang Zhen couldn’t put it down and tested it several times.
The stronger the Spiritual Power the metal disc sensed, the greater its lifting force. With his current Spiritual Power, Fang Zhen could make the disc fly and carry his body for nearly a kilometer.
Of course, the speed wasn’t very fast.
But this still made him ecstatic.
Fang Zhen had originally planned to get a personal flight device in the real world, but now this disc could serve as a replacement. From now on, Fang Zhen was a flying unit.
The disc’s exterior had also been given a stylistic design; it looked like a lotus flower, a silver lotus.
Fang Zhen named this item the "Flying Lotus" and added it to his standard equipment.
When expanded, the Flying Lotus had a diameter of one meter, but when contracted, it transformed into a silver lotus that could be held in a single hand.
Looking at the ingenious design, Fang Zhen couldn’t help but marvel, ’The Whig Society really is full of talented people.’
He had finished his business here, obtaining the Thunder Spear and the unexpected surprise of the Flying Lotus. He had also reaped over a hundred blocks of energy gel and 15 Alchemy Weapons. Fang Zhen felt completely satisfied.
Those Alchemy Weapons were considered commonplace here.
But in the Nameless World, for instance in the Zambein Kingdom, they would make excellent rewards or equipment for his loyal Knights.
They would allow him to significantly boost the strength of his subordinates.
Content with all these supplies, Fang Zhen decided it was time to return to the real world.
