After the meeting with the Kurorong Spirit Deer, Mu Huoyue left the "Fenghe River Basin" and returned to the connection point in reality.

Han Ruoyun's analysis work had just come to an end. She received a message from a friend and immediately went to the Metallurgy Branch of Xizhou University.

The smelting site where Han Ruoyun worked was very busy. Many craftsmen stopped their work and gathered together to study the analysis report of [Scale Iron].

Seeing Mu Chuyue walk into the refinery, Han Ruoyun pulled up the goggles on her head and waved to her.

"Hiratsuki, come here!"

Placed in the shaping device on the workbench is a small piece of scaly iron ore that has been sampled. At this moment, it is suspended in the air due to an unknown force.

The structure of that piece of metal was constantly changing, like countless fine scale structures combined together. When stimulated by hidden energy of different properties, it would produce different changes, which was a bit dazzling.

"This piece of metal is really interesting. We took several samples and found that it can really form various forms and characteristics in the spiritual conception when there is enough hidden energy."

Han Ruoyun said excitedly. When it comes to smelting, her speech speed becomes very fast: "Just like this sample, [Scale Iron] itself does not have magnetic and weightless properties, but it has undergone a drastic change in the conceptual device."

"In other words, as long as you choose the right hidden energy when casting, and the scale is large enough, this piece of metal can be turned into any form of tool you want."

"It's not limited to appearance, it can even achieve a [concept] level effect, although I'm not sure about this yet..."

"But if you can forge it using the [Resonance Alchemy] method... it will definitely allow your Night Demon Scarecrow to evolve smoothly, Hiiragizuki!"

Hearing her say this, Mu Chuyue was also very happy. With the sickle-shaped extraordinary weapon made through [Resonance Alchemy], plus two S-level wood-type extraordinary resources, even if there is no clear target evolution, Harvey should be able to impact the higher-level imperial race.

"I came to you with this piece of metal because I originally wanted to see the power of [Resonance Alchemy]." Mu Huoyue said with a smile.

"What should I do next? If there is anything I can do to help..."

"I was just about to discuss this with you," Han Ruoyun said.

"If you want to fully unleash the power of [Scale Iron], you must fix the characteristics of the tool you create at the peak of the hidden energy fluctuation. This is also one of the characteristics of Scale Iron. With sufficient freedom of plasticity as a prerequisite, when the hidden energy breaks through the attribute threshold, it can be solidified at the highest point at that moment."

Han Ruoyun was speaking professional smelting vocabulary in excitement. Noticing Mu Chuyue's slightly confused look, she coughed lightly and said, "In short, we need to first refine the [Scale Iron] ore into [Refined Iron Ingots], and then refine it through [Resonance Alchemy]."

"In the first step of refining [fine iron ingots], a [medium] that matches the subsequent refining conditions is required. You can also regard it as a catalyst that activates the characteristics of [scale iron]."

"The Night Demon Scarecrow is an extraordinary creature of the Dark and Wood elements, so at least a [catalyst] of these two attributes is needed..."

"Extraordinary resources with strong growth energy, and items that can assist in sensing and condensing emotional energy."

"As for the extraordinary resources of growth energy, I think you will get the corresponding gifts from [Withered and Flourishing Spiritual Deer], and as for the dark extraordinary resources of emotional energy..."

Han Ruoyun paused and said carefully, "I'm a little unsure about the plan, so I'm waiting for you to come back to discuss and decide."

"Do you want to try the real [Resonance Alchemy]?"

Mu Shuyue asked: "Real resonance alchemy?"

Could it be that the project that Han Ruoyun and her colleagues had presented at the academic exchange conference previously was not considered [real] resonance alchemy?

“One of the things I gained from my trip to the Honglai Islands was the little servant’s innate core skill, [Projection Alchemy].

"To put it simply, we speculate that in the skill tree evolution chain from [Virtual Alchemy] to [Projection Alchemy], there are S-level forging-type extraordinary skills that can be achieved through fusion evolution."

"This is also the conjecture that came about after hearing the concepts of [Miracle Potential Fruit] and Fusion Evolution at the academic exchange conference. We named this conjectured skill [Resonance Alchemy]. It is a forging skill that can truly condense [Concept]-like energy into the forging process to obtain high-level extraordinary tools."

"If the little servant can truly master [Resonance Alchemy], perhaps he can break through the bottleneck he has been facing and enter the realm of the imperial race."

Han Ruoyun looked at the tall forging weapon beside her, then turned to Mu Shuyue and continued, "As an S-level extraordinary skill, [Resonance Alchemy] requires the forger to have the power of concentration and perception of faith. However, the little servant is not a dark pet, and the effect that can be achieved by forging techniques alone is ultimately limited. It can only be achieved with the help of external forces."

"I know that in the secret realm of Yunzhou's Wanshan Land, there is a special dark-type extraordinary resource called the [Zuowang Spiritual Core], which can condense emotional energy and spiritual beliefs into entities. If this catalyst can be added to the [Fine Iron Ingot] stage, Xiao Shi and I can try advanced skills during the forging process and learn the real [Resonance Alchemy]."

"Of course, allowing the little servant to impact evolution during the forging process is a miracle that can only be achieved this time, and it is also my wishful thinking."

"If you think it's not safe enough, Hiiragi, we can still use the already stable [Resonance Alchemy] technique to complete the forging."

Mu Yuyue shook her head slightly, then smiled at Han Ruoyun: "I may not be able to help you with forging..."

"But I am a professional when it comes to exploring secret places. How can I refuse?"

…

The trip to Yunzhou was quickly finalized. Han Ruoyun would go with Mu Chuyue to search for the location of the [Zuowang Spirit Core] in the Wanshan area.

The Wanshan area of ​​Yunzhou is a well-known place in Dayan. It is a general term for the vast mountain and forest area extending from the southwest coast of Yunzhou to the southern border.

According to legend, there used to be many secret realms of different levels here. After entering the fusion period one after another, they overlapped and fell into the same area, thus forming a natural barrier that could never appear in the natural environment.

The most recent secret realm that entered the fusion period here was the A-level wood-type secret realm "Gu Swamp Mystery" fifteen years ago. The master of this secret realm was a medium-sized emperor race of the wood and insect types [Xiangsi Gu], which had a strong and dangerous mental toxicity.

Yunzhou's Secret Realm Affairs Countermeasures Bureau organized several cleanup operations and it took several years to barely clear out the "Gu Swamp Mysterious Realm" in the fusion period.

However, the mental toxins left by the [Lovesickness Gu] still affect the ecology of the Wanshan area to this day, giving rise to countless dangerous and bizarre wild supernatural creatures.

The purpose of their trip, the [Zuwang Spirit Core], is a special dark resource that was created when a dark supernatural creature called the [Zuwang Crow] was affected by the [Lovesickness Gu] and underwent a mental mutation.

It is very dangerous to rashly enter the land of Wanshan privately. After briefly understanding the situation there, Mu Huiyue contacted the Yunzhou Secret Realm Affairs Countermeasures Bureau, and the Bureau then found a suitable guide who understood the internal situation.

She is Lin Lin, a student studying at the Wood Properties Research Department of Yunzhou University.

Unexpectedly, after going through so much trouble, the guide turned out to be an acquaintance of hers. When Mu Chuyue saw Lin Lin's message, she couldn't help but laugh. If she had known this earlier, it would have been faster for her to send a message directly to Lin Lin.

She and Han Ruoyun set off immediately and headed for the border of Yunzhou next to Xizhou.

Lin Lin was also confused when she was suddenly given a mission to be a guide to the Land of Ten Thousand Mountains. Who was so blind as to come and explore such a dangerous place at the beginning of the school year?

Although her mentor, Professor Wang Yu, has been busy with the [Miracle Potential Fruit] project recently, the schedule at the Log Research Institute is relatively light, so the school assigned the guide task to Lin Lin.

Due to its geographical location, Yunzhou University is actually on the edge of the Land of Ten Thousand Mountains. It is the only way to enter this secret area of ​​multiple fusion period.

Unlike other beast-taming colleges, Yunzhou University does not have an S-level training secret realm that is in a stable period of advent. Students conduct field explorations and acquire resources, and even look for suitable contracted pets, all in the mountains.

This place is full of dangers, but also opportunities. In the past ten years, due to the influence of the [Lovesickness Gu], many unprecedented new extraordinary creatures and extraordinary resources have appeared. More than half of the projects in the Log Research Institute are related to the ecology of the Wanshan Land.

As a talented researcher who grew up in a research institute, Lin Lin is obviously very familiar with the ecology of the Wanshan Land. His initial pet, [Lingjun Mushroom], was contracted in the secret realm "Guanyuyujing" which had entered the fusion period.

Mu Chuyue and Han Ruoyun are both familiar with Lin Lin. The last time the three met was during the Harvest Festival trial last year. After that, Lin Lin and Mu Chuyue participated in an academic exchange meeting at Xingzhou University together. They haven't seen each other for several months.

The more familiar the friends were, the less polite Lin Lin was. When she saw the two for the first time, she couldn't help but scolded, "Why did you suddenly come to Yunzhou? Shouldn't you be preparing for the world competition, Mu Shuyue?"

Mu Chuyue smiled. She had long been accustomed to Lin Lin's roundabout way of expressing her concern.

"I'm preparing for this right now. I hope that before the World Championship begins, all of my contracted pets will have completed their evolution and become the fighting force of the imperial race. This time, I'm doing this for Harvey's evolution."

Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh. Is this something a human can say?

Mu Huoyue is her age, but she is about to own three contracted pets of the imperial race. With her speed of improvement, she may have become a level 7 beastmaster by the time the world competition starts, and all of them will be promoted to complete forms.

But at this point, no matter what strange changes happen to Mu Chuyue, it will not surprise Lin Lin.

She has been called a genius since she was young, and she has to admit that there are some geniuses in this world who are favored by fate and have achieved achievements that ordinary people can hardly achieve at a young age.

"Okay, why are you here?" Lin Lin looked at Han Ruoyun beside Mu Yuyue, "Since you have come to find Han Ruoyun, you probably want to impact evolution through [Resonance Alchemy]..."

After a brief thought, she understood what they were thinking. "Zuowang Spiritual Core? This thing is indeed very suitable for use in [Resonance Alchemy]. I even suggested it to Han Ruoyun during the previous exchange meeting."
