Hui Jin looked at the knight wearing armor and holding a long sword in front of him, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. That's great! He is indeed a genius.

Time flies, and the research is going very smoothly. Now the ashes can stuff some souls that were once unable to be integrated into flesh and blood into armor and weapons. Of course, they still need to be driven by flesh and blood.

These artificial living corpses are now very complete. Not only weapons, but even armor can be integrated into the soul, and then supplemented with artificial flesh and blood accessories, they can move!

In the past, the most that could be done was to integrate small pieces of broken souls into weapons. Now, Ashes can split and fuse the souls of Paladins into a set of armored weapons! And it is only the equipment of the Lothric Knights. It must be said that this achievement is

Very gratifying.

Ashes stretched out his hand to block the sword that the resurrected zombie paladin was swinging towards him. He looked back at Orochimaru and asked softly, "How is the situation?"

Orochimaru smiled and looked at the experimental handwriting in his hand, "Yes, Master Ashes, except for this newly created zombie, the rest of the zombies are very active and have no signs of decline..."

Hui Jin waved his hand, rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Who asked you this? I know all this. What I'm asking is, how is the information I gave you? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Orochimaru was stunned when he heard this, and then after pondering for a moment, he took out a notebook, opened it, looked at it, and then said humbly to Ashes, "Yes, I have to trouble you again, Lord Ashes, I still have some issues here."

Things that are too clear, just like why you mentioned in your notes more than once that human body refining is taboo, but you yourself have..."

As he spoke, Orochimaru looked at the iron cage next to him that had been enlarged countless times, and even expanded downwards by one layer. Inside, there were many living corpses waving weapons in their hands towards the ashes...

These living corpses are the results of Ashes in recent times. Each one is stronger than the last one. The only thing they have in common is that they all have no mouths...

It was fine when there were only one or two, but when there were more people, as long as the ashes were here, they were like an eighteenth-rate choir, and they could howl for a whole day!

Who could bear this? Helpless Ashes could only seal their mouths! They were forced to remain silent.

Ashes nodded lightly, then kicked out the knight who was still attacking him, then took the knight and put him in a new cage, clapped his hands and walked to Orochimaru.

"That's a good question. Do you still remember the first principle of alchemy?" Ashes patted the dust on his hands and looked at Orochimaru with a smile.

Orochimaru blurted out without thinking, "Everything must follow the principle of equivalent exchange!" This sentence is now regarded as truth by Orochimaru, and it is almost framed and hung on the wall...

Hui Jin nodded slightly when he heard the words, "That's right. The reason why human body refining is taboo is because almost no one can pay the price of refining a human body on their own..."

Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned and pondered, then raised his head and looked at Ashes, and asked doubtfully, "So... Lord Ashes, can you pay the price with your own strength alone?"

Ashes shrugged, stretched out his hand and pointed back at the group of struggling zombies, and said helplessly, "Although I can do it, I can't do it for such a few things..."

The confusion in Orochimaru's eyes became even worse. Ashes sighed and said helplessly, "I am not made from a human body, I am just made into a human body. There is an essential difference..."

Turning his head and looking at the group of living corpses, Hui Jin whispered, "What I made is just the body. You have seen it yourself. The human body is very cheap. Is it difficult to make it like this? But making the human body is very difficult."

No, refining the human body not only requires refining a cheap body, but also requires refining a priceless soul."

Orochimaru was shocked, looked at Ashes in shock and said in surprise, "You mean to create something out of nothing?"

Hui Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's pretty much what it means. Follow the principle of equivalent exchange. Think about it for yourself. Even if you buy yourself, you may not be able to get it all..."

Orochimaru nodded when he heard the words, and recorded Ashes' words in his notebook word for word, muttering to himself, "I see, no wonder it is listed as a taboo... But since it exists, it must be possible."

Orochimaru raised his head again, looked at Ashes and asked with burning eyes, "So Master Ashes, is there any way for people like me to use human body refinement?"

Hui Jing looked at Orochimaru in surprise, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do? It's not like you want to make some deceased relative or friend, right?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled slightly and shook his head gently, "How could I do this? The dead are dead, there is no need to be resurrected. If the dead are truly resurrected, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the rules...I

Just out of pure curiosity, I wonder if Lord Ashes can answer my question..."

Ashes frowned, pinched his chin and pondered. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Orochimaru and said solemnly, "There is a method, but it is very complicated and cruel. That is to use other people's souls as tolls to pay for it."

price."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Using other people's souls to make a new soul? It's really the best way to practice the truth."

Ashes frowned and looked at the excited Orochimaru, curled his lips and said, "Don't think about this, I won't tell you how to implement it. Even a person like me can't do it to blaspheme the souls of innocent people."

!”

Orochimaru guessed that Ashes would not tell him how to implement it, but hearing Ashes say this with his own ears, he still felt a little regretful... "Yes, I understand Lord Ashes, and I will not force it."

Hui Jin sighed, turned around and walked towards his test stand, murmuring in a low voice, "I really don't know if teaching you alchemy is good or bad... Forget it, I still have to test today..."

Today's plan is crucial, as it affects whether the Ashes in the future can proceed as planned.

Previous experiments have confirmed that there is no problem with the fusion of soul and weapon armor, and the upper limit increases with the improvement of weapon quality. Ashes' ultimate goal is to divide his soul, and he will inevitably use the best weapon.

Considering that the purpose of splitting souls is to make these souls stronger independently and then feed them back, you cannot make the split souls too strong, but there must be room for improvement, otherwise the split souls will be

You have become stronger, but the container that holds the soul cannot accommodate such a strong soul. That would be very embarrassing...

Thinking of this, Hui Jin hesitated for a moment, and a very large soul block appeared in his hand, which was larger than before. It was no longer an ordinary white soul, but a goose-yellow soul with a faint light.

The souls of heroes, these souls are of extremely high quality. If it weren't for a few pitfalls, these former heroes could be used as fuel to dedicate themselves...

The soul of the hero Guda is only of this level, and there are not many such souls in Ashes' hands...

As for the weapons chosen by Ashes for experiments, they must be the best weapons, and in Ashes' hands, there are only a few high-quality weapons that are of no use for the time being... just like the ghost-hunting sword in Ashes' hands now.

This is just a two-handed sword that looks very ordinary, but it has the property of increasing damage to wandering souls. And in Ashes' words, although this is a boss soul weapon, Ashes really doesn't like to use it.

It’s the perfect time to test it out.

Ashes was very cautious in his experiment this time. After all, there are not many such souls and such weapons. If you use one less, you have to be cautious.

There should be no problem in accommodating it, Ashes thought, he decomposed the soul in his hand and integrated it into the ghost-hunting sword in his hand. Orochimaru on the side handed him a portion of the human body's refining materials.

Hui Jin inserted the long sword into the material, slapped his hands on the refining array on the ground, and started the refining process.

Soon, a strong body lay in the center of the formation. Ashes took out a piece of cloth, made it into a robe, put it on the naked man, and then took him to leave the laboratory...

Orochimaru hurriedly followed and asked Ashes in confusion, "Lord Ashes, where are we going?"

Hui Jin rolled his eyes, looked at the living corpse in his hand, and said helplessly, "This guy is not the same as before. If he makes trouble in the laboratory, will you take care of it or will I take care of it?"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, looked at the person held in Ashes' hand, and couldn't help but ask, "But the material of the body has not changed at all, and you just changed it to a soul that looks very powerful. Is it possible that his soul can still cause harm?"

?”

Ash turned to look at Orochimaru and said with a serious expression, "You have fallen into another misunderstanding. The soul and the human body are not independent. The strength of the body can affect the soul. In the same way, the strength of the soul can also affect the body..."

Orochimaru nodded slightly and secretly guessed, "It seems that the same is true for Lord Uchiha Kagami. His soul and body are improved simultaneously, so he looks so young..."

Soon Ashes brought the living corpse and Orochimaru to an open space. Ashes put down the living corpse wearing a robe in his hand and twisted his neck slightly. He hadn't fought with such a person for a long time, and he really felt a little nostalgic.

Woolen cloth…

The soul came out of the body, stimulating the ghost-hunting sword in the living corpse and activating his soul. The living corpse slowly stood up, with the ghost-hunting sword leaping out of his hand, looking at it quietly.

Ashes with a smile in the distance. At this moment, Orochimaru could see that there was something different there. As long as the other living corpses were activated, they would roar at Ashes like mad dogs and start a mindless attack, but

This one is completely different.
