Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Miraculous Attribute

Inside the lab, Chen Qi stood perfectly still.

He appeared completely normal on the outside, but a violent reaction was taking place within his body.

If one were to zoom in on Chen Qi’s skin, they would see a white brilliance shimmering between every line and texture.

Chen Qi was using his Life Magnet Field as a mold and his Spirituality as a filler to completely seal his body.

CRACKLE, CRACKLE!

As the Spirituality was continuously compressed, the white brilliance penetrated deeper and deeper, from the outside in.

Wherever the brilliance passed, all the "turncoats" were rounded up in one fell swoop and gathered in Chen Qi’s left hand.

This was no easy feat. On the contrary, the operation was exceedingly difficult.

If Chen Qi hadn’t already mastered cellular manipulation, especially having "played" with resurrecting the dead and growing flesh on bones, and known the composition of various cells like the back of his hand, he couldn’t have guaranteed that he wouldn’t miss a single one.

This was especially true for the stubborn and troublesome nerve cells. In this regard, Chen Qi could truly be considered a micromanagement expert.

And at the very moment all the traitorous cells gathered in his left hand, something incredible happened.

These cells, which belonged to various tissues in the human body and had completely different functions, actually produced a mysterious Resonance and transformed into a complete Life Form.

This was equivalent to countless scattered single-celled organisms evolving into a multicellular organism in an instant.

This wasn’t a mere aggregation of cells, but life completing hundreds of millions of years of evolution in a single moment.

If Chen Qi hadn’t been accustomed to grand spectacles, this unbelievable turn of events would have likely shocked him into a stupor.

...

’So they’ve already been completely assimilated.’

’Could this be the true nature of the Card?’

A large purple mouth appeared in the palm of Chen Qi’s left hand.

It squirmed and struggled madly, instinctively wanting to feed.

If Chen Qi’s high-pressure furnace wasn’t forcefully suppressing it, the thing would have probably tried to bite him back.

’I have to be quick. I can feel the Card stirring.’

’Without my Spirituality sealing it, the Card would have been stimulated and awakened the moment the purple mouth formed.’

’The [Red Heart 7] would instinctively reclaim this Spirituality.’

Chen Qi made a precise judgment. The next instant, he directly activated the high-pressure iron-smelting furnace.

...

BOOM!

Chen Qi’s entire left hand held up a quaintly-shaped Alchemy Furnace. This was the high-pressure furnace he had meticulously crafted, and the purple mouth was trapped inside.

The Alchemy Furnace was forged from Spirituality and his Life Magnet Field. Its surface shone with a white light, while its interior was suffused with countless exquisite blue patterns.

Anyone who saw it would feel that this Pill Furnace was filled with a sense of profound mystery.

Chen Qi had carefully selected the design for this Pill Furnace from the internet.

It originated from the myths and legends of a great overseas nation, rumored to be able to concoct the Undying Medicine.

Chen Qi had always placed great trust in products from great nations, so he used his Spirituality to replicate this Alchemy Furnace to scale, not even missing the slightest detail in its patterns.

And it had to be said, the effect was quite good. At least the furnace hadn’t exploded during any of Chen Qi’s previous experiments.

At this moment, the Alchemy Furnace instantly shrank a hundredfold, and the "turncoats" inside were completely wiped out.

In a way, these guys had brought about their own doom. If they hadn’t fused into a multicellular organism, Chen Qi wouldn’t have been confident he could annihilate all the traitorous cells at once.

And the instant the purple mouth perished, the Alchemy Furnace compressed infinitely once more, finally shrinking to half the size of a peanut—which was already Chen Qi’s limit.

What Chen Qi was compressing now was not just Spirituality, but also his Life Magnet Field.

’Will it work?’

Chen Qi stared intently at the Alchemy Furnace. He didn’t dare to probe it with his Consciousness right now.

The reaction currently happening inside the Alchemy Furnace was absolutely terrifying.

The brilliance radiating from a single cell had been enough to dispel his Consciousness. If he foolishly got any closer, he’d probably become an idiot.

Light, a blinding and dazzling light!

A minuscule point of light appeared inside the tiny Alchemy Furnace.

It released an infinite radiance that, despite its minuscule size, still pierced through the Pill Furnace and shone into Chen Qi’s eyes.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the light was locked inside the Alchemy Furnace.

The moment the light blossomed, a bizarre scene appeared in the lab.

The Alchemy Furnace in Chen Qi’s hand suddenly seemed to stand tall enough to touch Heaven, as if it would envelop the entire outside world.

Even though this was just a projection phenomenon caused by the intense light within, it still left Chen Qi inexplicably shaken.

For a moment, he almost thought the blueprints he’d ripped from the internet were real.

...

’Did I succeed?’

After the light faded, Chen Qi dismissed the Alchemy Furnace. A speck of dusty gray matter, enveloped in Spirituality, appeared before him.

It was only the size of a sesame seed. This was Chen Qi’s final reward.

The reason it had to be enveloped in Spirituality, completely isolated, was because of the properties of [Nuclear Iron].

In the series of experiments before, Chen Qi wasn’t just trying to craft an Alchemy Furnace; he was also verifying the various attributes of Nuclear Iron.

[Nuclear Iron] was the most miraculous substance Chen Qi had ever seen.

If not enveloped and isolated by Spirituality, it would be instantly assimilated by the surrounding natural fields and turn into ordinary metal.

And if it came into contact with a Life Magnet Field, it would be converted into a burst of Life Magnet Field energy.

The duration of the Life Magnet Field was related to the mass of the Nuclear Iron. If the sesame-seed-sized piece of Nuclear Iron in Chen Qi’s hand were converted into a Life Magnet Field, it would last for at least 10 minutes.

’What on earth is this thing used for?’

For a moment, Chen Qi really couldn’t think of a use for it.

Was he supposed to follow that Kolos fellow’s example and use it for killing people?

Chen Qi didn’t believe that was the true value or use of Nuclear Iron.

Just refining this sesame-seed-sized piece of Nuclear Iron had already taken a heavy toll on Chen Qi.

The most direct manifestation of this was his Life Magnet Field, which had shrunk from five meters directly down to two.

Chen Qi estimated that he might not be able to fully recover without about a week of rest.

Kolos’s method was an absolute, extravagant waste.

Besides, the [Nuclear Iron] that guy refined was of terrible quality and simply couldn’t compare to what Chen Qi held in his hand.

This point was confirmed by the [Activated Metal Giant Python].

It had eaten Kolos’s Nuclear Iron, so it had the most authority on the matter.

The moment Chen Qi summoned this fellow, he almost lost control of it.

Fortunately, things were different now. Chen Qi used his Spirituality to teach it a proper lesson.

Based on its reaction, Chen Qi determined that what he had refined was a [Qualified Product], while Kolos’s was scrap.

’As for why it wasn’t Excellent or Perfect quality?’

Chen Qi had a good idea why. The path he had taken was one of last resort; it was a miracle he had succeeded at all.

Higher-quality Nuclear Iron could probably only be refined by the Alchemy School.

Chen Qi even suspected he might be overestimating his own skills by judging his product as "qualified."

The Nuclear Iron he had refined couldn’t exist stably; it would vanish with the slightest lapse in attention.

’Forget it, I’ll just store it for now.’

Chen Qi enveloped it with Spirituality and hid it within his own flesh and blood.

There was no other choice. The thing was just too small. If he tried to keep it on his person, he wouldn’t even notice if he dropped it.

The next moment, Chen Qi’s Life Magnet Field, now shrunken to a two-meter radius, reappeared.

Chen Qi nodded in satisfaction. The two holes had indeed disappeared.

This was what he truly cared about.

Chen Qi did a quick mental calculation. Four days had passed in his seclusion. He wondered if the World was still turning without him.
