Chapter 2317 Borrowing The Skills Of A Friend And An Impasse

Since wind and lightning had very little to no weight on their own, these properties were imbued into the Shimmering Sky Trail Titanite.
And as such, they were also added to the alloy when mixed in the right ratio. But this wasn't the only reason why Lin Mu had picked it. Since it had the lightning element in it, it was of the extreme yang orientation and thus had a slight ability to resist a curse too. This, when mixed with the Immortal Green Gold and the Immortal Silver, resulted it in being in a nearly perfect harmony.
The two noble metals when mixed resulted in a very heavy shaft which Lin Mu didn't think would be the most ideal for an arrow, especially since it was only one half of the arrow and there were more parts that would add weight to it.
Thus he had to make adjustments wherever he could while also making it durable.
"Whoa!" Daoist Chu picked up one of the ingots and felt its weight feeling stunned. "This… is nothing." Hearing that, Ziran picked up another ingot too and was surprised by its weight. "A normal ingot of this size made from Immortal Green Gold or Immortal Silver would be at least five to six times this weight." He stated.
"Yeah, the reduction is very good with the Simmering Sky Trail Titanite added to it." Lin Mu stated.
"How did you even make this?" Crown Princess Shang inquired. "Are you a forger too?" from what she could tell, in order to make an alloy like this one would have to be a Master forger.
"No, I'm not." Lin Mu shook his head. "But you've made immortal tools and weapons before?" Daoist Chu asked.
"Well, once… I've made Sword Nurturing Boxes." Lin Mu answered. Daoist Chu couldn't help but raise his brows.
"Sword Nurturing Boxes aren't exactly the first choice to make for their first attempt… most would pick something simple… like a dagger." Daoist Chu spoke. "That's already something most experienced Forger and refiners would have a hard time making." He added.
"Well, I didn't do it alone." Lin Mu replied. "I had notes to help." He added.
"What kind of notes?" Ziran asked.
"One of my good friends is from a clan of Forgers and refiners." Lin Mu answered. "Him and his grandfather are probably some of the most talented weapon refiners I know. He lent me his clan's techniques and manuals for weapon refinement. So I've been using those." He explained.
"They must be really good, if you're saying so," Daoist Chu replied. "Making an alloy like this isn't an easy task… and if their notes alone were enough to teach you this… they're well worth their salt." He couldn't help but praise.
"Indeed." Lin Mu said as he looked at the metal rod he had been hammering earlier. "But it's not enough… I still lack." "What's the problem?" Ziran asked thinking that the fault laid with the alloy that Lin Mu had made. "Is it the refinement of the alloy rod?" he inquired.
"It's not that." Lin Mu replied. "The Alloy rod is coming along decently. It only needs proper tempering to reach the ideal form, but the problem is that it is only half of the arrow shaft." He stated.
"Half? You aren't making the shaft with this?" Ziran asked. "No, wait… why are you making the shaft with them in the first place?" he realized the main issue.
"Yeah, wouldn't it make more sense to make it with other metals?" Crown Princess Shang also picked up on it.
"Ah, the conditions are very specific, such that only some materials are able to withstand it." Lin Mu said before explaining just what he was using for the arrow.
He told them about the arrow tips made from the Chimera Plant Bark Fragments as well as the Black Hex Raven Tears and the effect they brought upon the materials.
After learning all that, they finally understood how Lin Mu had ended up reaching this point.
"To think you'd use the strength of the Chimera Plant against it… and to add a curse upon that." Ziran couldn't help but be impressed. "We might not even need the poisons at this rate." He stated.
"Oh, no we'll probably need that." Lin Mu stated. "I can only make two arrows with the fragments I have. As such, I want to utilize everything that is possible to give us the best chance possible. I've taken into considering the poison you might make and have left modifications for it to be added to the arrow. Who knows, the curse might not be enough and additional poison might help." He explained.
"That's good. I suppose or work will help." Crown Princess Shang said. "How far are you on that, though?" Lin Mu asked, not knowing much.
"We're almost done." Crown Princess Shang answered. "Yeah, all that's left is for the poison to distill out." Ziran said. "We'll just have to wait for that to be over and I can hand it to you. The hard part has already been completed." He added.
"I see… that's good then." Lin Mu replied. "Now, if I can only figure out the core of the shaft." He said with a complex expression.
"Hmm… will the core made directly from Null Iron Ore not work?" Daoist Chu asked.
From what Lin Mu had told them so far, the shaft was going to be made with the Null Iron Ore as the inner core and a tube of the Alloy would be applied over it. This is what he meant by it only being half done.
"I did try that previously, but the impurities in the Null Iron ore make it impossible to congeal well with the alloy. Not to mention, since I cannot add formations to the Null Iron ore, the arrow simply ends up warping.
I looked up more documents and learned that the Null Iron ore would have to be purified for it to work. But that has not worked… I cannot heat it to the level required." Lin Mu explained.
