Just like paper being corroded by sulfuric acid,
The small long strip of gold ingot in Li Ang's hand quickly melted and eroded, becoming filled with sponge-like internal cavities and becoming riddled with holes.
And on the surface of countless ink-colored silk threads, wisps of golden light emerge correspondingly, flowing to the part under the skin.
Li Ang could feel that the weight of his palm had not increased, and there was no severe pain.
At the same time, the ink-colored silk thread did not seem to be satisfied with absorbing a small piece of gold ingot. On the contrary, as if it smelled the smell of metal, it continued to snake and stretch towards other gold ingots in the wooden box.
"Pa!"
Li Ang withdrew his palm, closed the wooden box hard, and took a few steps back.
The flickering flame of the oil lamp on the table reflected 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 shrank back under the skin.
"..."
Li Ang stared at his palm. The lines on his palm were clear, his lifeline was long, and his veins were faintly visible.
No wounds, no blood.
"It won't work if we don't solve it. We must find out what the ink silk thread is."
Li Ang took a deep breath, took the wooden box containing the gold ingots to the living room, sat down, and once again sorted out how he got the ink-colored silk thread.
First of all, time.
Yesterday morning around 6 o'clock, I, Jiao Cheng and others got a stone box in the underground palace of Jianxian's tomb. Jiao Cheng opened the stone box and found ink threads, which caused the underground palace to collapse and everyone fled to the corridor, including Jiao Cheng.
The rest of the people died. When Li Ang left, he touched the ink-colored silk thread in the stone box and was parasitized by it.
‘Jiao Cheng was the first to open the stone box, but Mo Si did not parasitize him. There are two possibilities. One is that the conditions do not match. The other is that the contact method is wrong.’
Li Ang said silently: 'Jiao Cheng's age has exceeded the range suitable for practice. According to the academy's classics, his spiritual veins have long been closed and rigid - but my spiritual veins are still active.
That might be the difference.
The second possibility is the contact method.
Jiao Cheng just opened the stone box and did not touch the ink silk thread with his palm. I made direct contact with the ink silk thread with my palm.
Of course, it is also possible that there are two reasons - direct contact and activation of the spiritual veins.’
Li Ang raised his right hand and pressed his fingers on the hot oil lamp glass cover in turn. He saw that the whole finger turned red under the candlelight, and the veins and arteries inside were clear.
‘The ink thread can barely be seen. The diameter of a single root is... very thin. The shape is like a branch, covering the entire finger.’
If an ordinary person saw fingers covered with silk threads and thought of his own body that might be riddled with parasites, he would probably scream in horror.
But after all, Li Ang is someone who has pulled out Guinea worms with his own hands for ten consecutive hours. There are countless parasitic lesions in his mind that can be called sour and curious. His first reaction is not to be horrified, but to try to understand and analyze.<
/p>
‘There are no obvious problems with my body functions, and all parts of my hands and feet move normally.’
Li Ang thought: 'The currently known information is...
1. Ink silk can guide spiritual energy and connect spiritual veins.
Second, the ink silk has a certain ability to move freely and is indestructible.
Third, ink silk usually lies dormant under the skin. When it is attracted by gold, it will directly pierce the body surface and absorb the gold.
Fourth, when the ink moves, it will not cause wounds or bleed.’
First of all, when he first crawled out of the underground palace, Li Ang had already discovered that when he guided the spiritual energy into his spiritual veins, it flowed smoothly and there was no pain reaction.
‘I have conducted spiritual vein connection experiments before using materials such as dark wood and fine gold. Without holding any materials, the spiritual energy was introduced into the spiritual veins, and the pain level was 1.
When holding the purple Dushan Chalcedony, the pain level is 1.3.
Youzhou Dark Wood 1.2.
The one with the best performance is fine gold. The pain when held is 5.0. After being made into a ring and worn on the head, the pain is reduced to 1.5.
The higher the decrease in pain from holding to the headband, the higher the efficiency of the material in transmitting spiritual energy.
The pain level of Mosi is 0.7, which means that it greatly compensates for the rupture of the spiritual veins, allowing the originally hopeless skull-breaking sword to be practiced.’
Li Ang pressed his eyebrows and thought, 'Adamantine has excellent spiritual energy transmission efficiency and is already one of the most expensive special materials per gram that can be purchased in Chang'an Auction House.
Even among the Xunyun Realm monks, no one has the luxury to use a solid piece of fine gold to make a flying sword.
If the spiritual energy transmission efficiency of ink silk is higher than that of fine gold... it will most likely be recorded in the Academy Library.’
Li Ang closed his eyes and recited the "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter" silently. After a moment, 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 his spiritual veins was slightly lower than before.
‘Could it be that absorbing metal can enhance the spiritual energy transmission efficiency of Mo Si?’
Li Ang thought in astonishment. After thinking for a moment, he stood up, took out the box from the corner, and took out various materials that he had previously entrusted to the Duke of Yan and purchased from the Chang'an Auction House.
Including but not limited to wood, jade, metal, bones, etc.
Li Ang took a deep breath, put on the simple surgical gloves he made, took out various materials, and placed them neatly on the ground.
Then take off your gloves and take turns testing the air with your palms.
Lantian Jade, no response.
Gloomy Wood, no response.
Crowned Dove Feather, no response.
Pure silver, the reaction was slightly stronger. When the palm was three centimeters away from the pure silver, the ink-colored silk thread pierced the surface of the skin and tried to swallow it.
Iron and copper reacted extremely weakly. Even after the palm of his hand came into contact with pure iron and pure copper, the ink-colored silk thread did not appear on its own initiative. It was not until Li Ang was running his spiritual energy that he reluctantly tried to get out of the skin.
Mercury and lead react weakly.
Bismuth, the degree of reaction is close to that of silver.
Jin, reacted strongly...
After some experiments, Li Ang finally determined that the ink-colored silk thread reacted relatively strongly to metals, especially gold and silver, and its "desire" to devour them was relatively high.
‘There is no experimental environment now, 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: "The next step is to explore whether the ink silk can further improve the efficiency of spiritual energy transmission after absorbing gold and silver metals, as I thought."
He put all kinds of materials back into the box and packed them.
He put a few more large silver ingots into the wooden box containing gold ingots, went to the next room, took a wooden basin to collect water, and poured basins of clean water into the large wooden bucket for bathing until the bucket was filled with water.
Full of water.
Then Li Ang took off his clothes, carefully lay down in the wooden barrel, and watched the water in the wooden barrel overflow due to his size. He opened the wooden box, slightly poked his palm out of the water, and began to let the ink silk thread absorb the gold and silver materials.
When all the gold and silver in the wooden box was absorbed, the water in the wooden barrel did not overflow further.
"My size has not increased at all..."
