Chapter 234 Refining and Digestion

Soon after Wang Xiaoming returned to headquarters, the news had spread.

Many ghost riders who wanted to improve their strength began to use their connections to want to meet Wang Xiaoming.

They do not seek to achieve success overnight like Zhao Kaiming, but they just want to be able to control one more evil spirit like Fang Shiming and Feng Quan.

Friends circle, Ping An Building, Fang Shiming's office,

A tall man said excitedly to Fang Shiming in front of him: "Mr. Fang, I am also an old friend. Now there is an opportunity to become a top ghost rider. You have to help me."

"What opportunity?" Fang Shiming remained calm, crossed his hands, placed them on the table, and said lightly.

He Tianxiong scratched his head and said with a smile: "I heard that Professor Wang has returned. I would like to ask Professor Wang to help me control the third evil spirit."

"When I become a top ghost rider, it will bring honor to our circle of friends!"

Not only in the circle of friends, anyone with connections has started to take action.

After all, if a ghost rider wants to improve his strength, there is no other way except to control evil ghosts, and controlling evil ghosts is extremely dangerous and difficult.

The more evil spirits you control, the more dangerous it is.

Currently, due to the research on supernatural e-liquid, the headquarters can control the first evil spirit without danger. Even if it is to control the second evil spirit, the success rate has reached 70%.

However, there has been no progress in the research on how to control the third evil ghost, and the success rate is less than 7%. This means that controlling the third evil ghost can only rely on the ghost rider himself.

Those who are lucky may succeed, while those who are unlucky may die on the spot.

However, ever since Wang Xiaoming began to study methods of controlling evil spirits and helped many ghost controllers to control evil spirits, everyone discovered that Wang Xiaoming had never failed. As long as he took action, whether it was controlling the third evil spirit or others, it was easy to do.

When the news spread, many ghost riders were naturally shocked but also had a hint of expectation, hoping to successfully control the evil ghost through Wang Xiaoming.

But it is not easy to achieve this. Not to mention Wang Xiaoming's position in the headquarters and how many supernatural items he has studied, just looking at his performance in the underground passage of Longmen Town, Wang Xiaoming's strength is already far ahead among ghost riders.

It can be said that Wang Xiaoming is now at the pinnacle of fame and strength in the spiritual world. It is very difficult for small fry like them to ask Wang Xiaoming for help, so they can only try other ways.

Outside the headquarters, things were turbulent due to Wang Xiaoming's return, but inside the headquarters, everything was calm.

Cao Yanhua, who was originally in a state of panic due to the shortage of gold, was overjoyed after getting Wang Xiaoming's promise. He did not mind that Wang Xiaoming kept it a secret and did not tell him the source of the gold. In his opinion, as long as he had the gold, it was enough.

Professor Wang can do whatever he wants, and he and the headquarters will never have any objections.

In order to give Wang Xiaoming a quiet space to study, Cao Yanhua even took the initiative to help Wang Xiaoming reject a large number of ghost riders who came to him and wanted to control the third evil ghost.

In the laboratory,

Wang Xiaoming first instructed Chen Wei to contact the person in charge of the ghost warehouse and ask them to arrange for a batch of ghosts to be sent over to be forged into supernatural weapons.

While waiting for the evil spirit to arrive, Wang Xiaoming did not plan to be idle. He promised Cao Yanhua about the gold, and he took advantage of this time to get it done.

So he asked for a rest room, walked in, and then used the teleportation spell to come to a mysterious place corresponding to the headquarters.

An endless plain appeared before my eyes. The land was flat and without any debris, except for a towering black mountain in the distance.

Wang Xiaoming has been here many times and is not surprised.

He put his fingers together to form a sword, and starlight flashed on his hand, turning it into a sharp sword. Then he gently scratched the ground, and a tiny crack appeared.

Brush brush!
After a few sword strikes, the ground was cut into pits by the Starlight Sword, and Wang Xiaoming also got dozens of tons of soil.

The soil in the spiritual land is not much different from that in the real world, so there is no problem using it as an alchemical material.

Moreover, taking soil from the mysterious place is convenient and not easy to be discovered.

I don't know what kind of compression the soil here has undergone, but its hardness and quality are not inferior to granite. Just a small piece of it weighs more than ten pounds, making it a good material for refining gold.

"It's not enough. It's better to get a few hundred tons as an emergency measure."

After Wang Xiaoming collected the soil into the Wilderness of Knowledge, he still felt that it was not enough, so he summoned the starlight and turned it into a long sword to cut the earth into pieces. After working for more than ten minutes, he finally collected hundreds of tons of soil.

Looking at the devastated plain in front of him, Wang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction and left.

In the lounge, the void became blurred and Wang Xiaoming appeared out of nowhere. After appearing, he looked around and found nothing unusual, then he went to the sofa and lay down.

As for whether he would be monitored by the spirit detector when traveling through the supernatural places at the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming was not worried, because he had been using spiritual magic and had not utilized any evil spirit abilities, which the spirit detector could not detect.

And even if he was discovered, it wouldn't matter, because with Wang Xiaoming's current strength and status, he didn't need to explain to anyone.

After finding a comfortable position to lie down, Wang Xiaoming's consciousness came to the wilderness of knowledge. It was extremely empty here, and the hundreds of tons of soil materials only occupied a very small corner.

With a slight movement of consciousness, the soil was gathered together by an invisible force and turned into a huge shape like a hill.

Taking out a piece of gold, Wang Xiaoming placed his other hand on the hill of dirt and began to use his alchemical abilities.

A rich yellow light enveloped him and began to slowly erode the dirt hill, but the speed was very slow.

It was still very stressful for Wang Xiaoming to refine these hundreds of tons of giant objects into gold at one time, but fortunately he was in the Wilderness of Knowledge, his home ground, and he could make the most of his authority here to assist in alchemy.

Invisible power emerged in the wilderness of knowledge and blessed Wang Xiaoming, making him feel stronger than ever before. The yellow light that was originally covering the small dirt hill at a slow speed suddenly lit up and its speed increased dramatically.

In less than ten minutes, the yellow light had completely dyed the dirt hill into golden color.

The yellow light became brighter and brighter, as if it was going to illuminate the sky. After more than ten minutes, the yellow light began to slowly fade away, revealing a hill that had turned into gold.

"Not bad!" Wang Xiaoming looked at the golden hill in front of him with satisfaction, "With these golden transitions, the headquarters can at least hold out for another half a year."

After completing all this, Wang Xiaoming regained consciousness, opened his eyes, got up from the sofa, and felt that the time was about up, so he prepared to leave the lounge.

I just took one step and felt something was wrong.

"The potion in the body has been digested?!" Wang Xiaoming was surprised to find that the alchemist's potion in his body showed signs of digestion. Although it was not much, it was indeed digested.

Thinking of what he had just done, Wang Xiaoming showed a bitter smile on his face. He really didn't expect that the alchemist's method of digesting the potion was to refine gold.

He had originally thought about how to digest the potion, and the idea of ​​refining gold was rejected by him at the beginning. He had also tried alchemy before, but did not feel any signs of the potion being digested.

"It seems that there is too little gold to be refined, and it cannot cause the digestion feedback of the potion."

"I thought of many possible ways to digest the potion, but I didn't expect the answer to be right there on the puzzle."

"But this shouldn't be the only way to digest the potion. Based on another ability I've acquired, 'Spiritualization', perhaps refining spiritual weapons can also bring about potion feedback."

By analogy, Wang Xiaoming quickly thought of another possible way to digest the potion, but it had not been tested yet, so it was impossible to confirm its authenticity.

"No matter what, now we should focus on refining gold to promote the digestion of magic potions."

"Originally, we were just thinking about refining a few hundred tons of gold to get the job done. Now it seems that the headquarters may not be short of gold."

Wang Xiaoming thought in his mind, decided what he needed to do next, and then left the lounge.

Everything was normal in the laboratory. The evil ghost had not been delivered yet. After asking Chen Wei, she learned that the evil ghost was on the way and would be delivered soon.

Five minutes later, Wang Xiaoming looked at the thirty or so evil spirits that had just been delivered to him, frowned slightly, and thought that he had miscalculated and forgot to remind Chen Wei to ask for more. With this amount, he could handle it in half an hour with his current strength.

After being promoted to demigod, his forging ability improved greatly. He could forge an ordinary evil spirit into a supernatural weapon in about a minute.

So he planned to spend three days to forge all the evil spirits that the headquarters had collected recently, and then focus on refining gold and studying how to give them spirits.

So Wang Xiaoming immediately asked Chen Wei to contact the warehouse again and ask them to deliver one hundred evil spirits at one time.

After receiving this news, the warehouse thought they had heard it wrong. After repeated confirmation, they dared to believe that this was an order issued by Wang Xiaoming.

The warehouse did not dare to delay and started to deal with the evil spirits leaving the warehouse while contacting Cao Yanhua to report the matter.

After Cao Yanhua received the information from the warehouse, he also didn't understand what Wang Xiaoming was going to do, but he didn't ask rashly. He just pondered for a moment and said to the caller:

"From now on, you must do your best to satisfy the professor as long as he asks you to do something, without any delay."

Just like that, three days passed in a flash.

Wang Xiaoming forged all the evil spirits that had been piling up at the headquarters, freeing up a large amount of gold resources. When he came to the office and told Cao Yanhua the news, Cao Yanhua was unsurprisingly surprised and asked why the speed was so fast this time?
"As the strength has improved, the speed has also increased!" Wang Xiaoming said casually.

Just a little faster?
Cao Yanhua really wanted to roll his eyes. There was no comparison at all. Before, he could only deal with twenty to thirty evil spirits a day, but now he could deal with two to three hundred evil spirits a day. Compared with before, his efficiency increased tenfold.

"By the way, I have also prepared the gold," Wang Xiaoming continued, "Please prepare a warehouse and I will give you the gold."

"Remember, it must be a large warehouse. The amount of gold this time is huge."

So fast!

Cao Yanhua was surprised at first, then excited. The lack of gold resources had always been a headache for him, and he wished he could directly order a ban on private gold trading and nationalize all of it.

Now with a batch of gold supported by Professor Wang, and the evil spirits being refined into supernatural weapons, a lot of gold can be saved, and the gold crisis at the headquarters can be temporarily resolved.

"Professor, wait a moment, I'll make a call." Thinking of this, Cao Yanhua immediately picked up the phone and made a call.

An vacant warehouse was quickly found, right in the southwest corner of the headquarters base. Because Wang Xiaoming had said in advance that the warehouse specially selected this time was very large.

When they arrived near the warehouse, Wang Xiaoming found that it had been blocked by soldiers. As soon as Wang Xiaoming and Cao Yanhua appeared, they saw an officer with a determined face walking out from the soldiers and saluted them.

This was exactly what Cao Yanhua had arranged in advance. After all, Wang Xiaoming had said before that the amount of gold was large. In order to keep it secret, Cao Yanhua transferred troops.

Two of them went into the warehouse while the others stayed outside to avoid leaks.

"Professor, let's begin!"

Walking to the center of the warehouse, Cao Yanhua looked at Wang Xiaoming with anticipation. He knew that Wang Xiaoming had an extra-large storage bag, and the gold must be in the storage bag.

Wang Xiaoming looked around and saw that the warehouse was very large, at least over 10,000 square meters. He nodded with satisfaction, then used the ghost domain to cover him and Cao Yanhua.

"Professor, what are you doing?" Wang Xiaoming did not hide the ghost realm, so Cao Yanhua noticed it directly and asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid there will be danger later, so I'll take care of you to avoid being hit by the gold."

After Wang Xiaoming finished speaking, he took Cao Yanhua and floated in the air, and began to transfer the gold in the wilderness of knowledge to the real world.

Before Cao Yanhua could react to where the danger was, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Countless gold bricks appeared in the warehouse and soon piled up into a small hill, and then another mountain of gold appeared.

There were mountains of gold connected to each other, and Cao Yanhua couldn't tell exactly how much gold there was. He only knew that there was a lot, so much that he began to doubt the reality of what he saw.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Xiaoming finally stopped moving the gold. The warehouse in front of him was already covered with gold. Under the light, the golden glow was extremely dazzling, making Cao Yanhua feel a little dizzy.

"Bu Cao, are you okay?"

Wang Xiaoming noticed Cao Yanhua's situation and asked.

"I'm fine!" Cao Yanhua took a deep breath and said, "I was just dazzled by the gold in front of me. Professor, you gave me a big surprise. How much gold do you have in total?"

Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but it must be several thousand tons!"

Ever since he learned that refining gold could digest the magic potion, Wang Xiaoming went to the mysterious place to dig soil whenever he had free time, and then refined the soil into gold. He unknowingly refined thousands of tons of gold.

In order to facilitate transportation to the headquarters, he also cut all the gold into small gold bars.

Although it was a bit hard, it was worth it because while the gold was being processed, his potion was also being digested. After careful calculation, the alchemist's potion had been digested to the extent of one percent to almost two percent.
