  Chapter 97 Gold and Silver

-

  Like paper corroded by sulfuric acid,

  The small strip of gold ingot in Li Ang's hand quickly melted and corroded, and it was covered with sponge-like internal cavities, making it riddled with holes.

   On the surface of countless black silk threads, wisps of golden streamer appeared correspondingly, flowing to the part under the skin.

  Li Ang could feel that the weight of the palm had not increased, nor had there been severe pain,

  At the same time, the black silk thread didn't seem to be satisfied with absorbing a small piece of gold ingot. On the contrary, as if smelling the smell of metal, it continued to meander and stretch toward other gold ingots in the wooden box.

"Snapped!"

   Li Ang withdrew his palm, closed the wooden box heavily, and took a few steps back.

  The oil lamp on the table was flickering, reflecting his uncertain expression.

  The ink-colored silk thread swayed in the air for a while, and then "unwillingly" absorbed all the remaining gold nuggets, and shrunk back under the skin again.

  “.”

   Li Ang stared at his palm, the lines on the palm were clear, the lifeline was long, and the veins were faintly visible.

   No wound, no blood.

   "If you don't solve it, you can't do it. You must figure out what the black silk thread is."

   Li Ang took a deep breath, took the wooden box containing the gold ingots, came to the living room and sat down, and once again sorted out how he got the black silk thread.

  First of all, time.

  Yesterday morning around Maozheng (6:00), I, Jiao Cheng and others got the stone box in the underground palace of Sword Immortal Clothes Tomb. Jiao Cheng opened the stone box and found the ink thread, which caused the underground palace to collapse. Everyone fled to the tunnel, and the rest including Jiao Cheng died. When Li Ang touched the black thread in the stone box when he left, he was parasitized by it.

  ‘Jiao Cheng was the first to open the stone box, but Mosi did not parasitize him. There are two possibilities, one is that the conditions do not match. Second, the contact method is wrong. '

   Li Ang said silently: "Jiao Cheng's age has exceeded the range suitable for cultivation. According to the classics of the academy, his spiritual veins have long been closed and rigid - while mine is still active.

   That might be the difference.

   And the second possibility is the way of contact.

  Jiao Cheng just opened the stone box, but didn't touch the black silk thread with his palm. I made direct contact with Mosi with my palm.

  Of course, it is also possible that there are two reasons - direct contact, and the activation of the spiritual vein. '

  Li Ang raised his right hand and pressed his fingers on the hot oil lamp glass in turn. He saw that the entire finger was red under the candlelight, and the veins and arteries inside were clear.

  ‘I can barely see Mosi. Single diameter. Very thin. The shape is branched, covering the whole finger. '

  If an ordinary person sees the fingers covered with silk threads, and thinks of his body that may be devastated by parasitism, he may have screamed in horror,

  However, after all, Li Ang was the one who pulled out the guinea worm for ten hours in a row, and there were countless sour and curious parasitic lesions stored in his mind. His first reaction was not to be terrified, but to try to understand and analyze.

  ‘There is no obvious problem with my physical function, and the activities of all parts of my hands and feet are normal. '

  Li Ang thought about it: ‘There is currently known information.

  First, Mosi can play the role of guiding spiritual energy and connecting spiritual veins.

  Second, Mosi has a certain ability to move freely and is indestructible.

  Third, Mosi usually hibernates under the skin, and when attracted by gold, it will directly pierce the body surface and absorb the gold.

  Fourth, when the moss moves, it will not cause wounds and will not bleed. '

  First of all, when he just climbed out of the underground palace, Li Ang had already discovered that when he guided the spiritual energy into the spiritual vein, it was unimpeded and there was no pain reaction.

  ‘Before, I used dark wood, fine gold and other materials to conduct experiments on the connection of spiritual veins. Without holding any material, direct the spiritual energy into the spiritual vein, the pain degree is 1.

  When holding purple Dushan chalcedony, the pain level is 1.3.

  Youzhou gloomy wood 1.2.

  The best performance is pure gold, the pain level when holding it is 5.0, and after it is made into a ring and worn on the head, the pain level drops to 1.5.

  The higher the pain reduction from the grip to the headband, the higher the material's transmission efficiency to aura.

  Mosi's pain degree is 0.7, that is to say, it greatly compensates for the broken defect of the spiritual vein, making the originally hopeless craniocerebral sword able to practice. '

   Li Ang pressed the center of his brows, and thought, 'Adamantine has excellent aura transmission efficiency, and it is already one of the most expensive special materials for a single gram that can be bought in Chang'an Auction House.

  Even monks in the Cloud Patrol Realm, no one is so extravagant as to use a whole piece of pure gold to make a flying sword.

  If Mosi's aura conduction efficiency is higher than that of pure gold, it is likely to be recorded in Xuegong Zangshuge. '

   Li Ang closed his eyes, and silently recited the "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter". After a while, he frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

   I don't know if it was an illusion, but after absorbing the gold ingot, he felt that the pain caused by driving the spiritual vein was slightly lower than before.

  ‘Could it be that absorbing metal can enhance the aura conduction efficiency of moss? '

   Li Ang thought in astonishment, and after thinking for a moment, he stood up, took out the box from the corner, and took out all kinds of materials that he had entrusted to the Duke of Yan's mansion and bought from the Chang'an Auction House.

  Including but not limited to wood, jade, metal, bone, etc.

   Li Ang took a deep breath, put on the crude surgical gloves he made, took out all kinds of materials, and put them neatly on the ground.

   Then take off the gloves, and take turns to test with the palm of your hand.

  Lantian jade, no response.

  Gloomy wood, no response.

   Crowned Dove Lingyu, no response.

  Pure silver, the reaction was slightly stronger. When the palm was three centimeters away from the pure silver, the ink-colored thread pierced the surface of the skin, trying to swallow it.

  Iron and copper reacted extremely weakly. After the black silk thread touched the pure iron and copper in the palm of the hand, it didn't appear on its own initiative.

  Mercury, lead, weak reaction.

  Bismuth, the degree of reaction is close to that of silver.

  Gold, strong reaction

   After some experiments, Li Ang finally determined that the ink-colored silk thread has a relatively strong reaction to metals, especially gold and silver, and has a relatively high "desire" to devour.

  ‘Now there is no experimental environment, and metal elements such as francium, radium, and uranium cannot be produced. Further experiments need to be carried out after the conditions are complete. '

  Li Ang thought about it: "The next step is to explore whether the moss will further improve the efficiency of aura transmission after absorbing gold and silver metals, as I think."

  He put all kinds of materials back into the box and packed them.

Put a few more large pieces of silver ingots into the wooden box containing the gold ingots, went to the next room, took the wooden basin to catch the water, poured basins of clean water into the large wooden barrel for bathing, until the wooden barrel was covered with water. Filled with water.

   Then Li Ang took off his clothes, lay down carefully in the wooden barrel, watched the water in the wooden barrel overflow due to his size, and opened the wooden box, with his palm slightly protruding from the water, and began to let the black silk thread absorb the gold and silver materials.

  Wait until all the gold and silver in the wooden box were absorbed, but the water in the wooden barrel did not overflow any further.

   "My volume has not increased in the slightest"

   In the field, there is another chapter
