Chapter 8: Fluorescent Forest (Part 2)

Lin Fan chuckled and tossed a small bottle over, "This is what I just obtained by refining the spirit plants here. Take a look."

Meng Li took the bottle, "What is this? You didn't even say." As she spoke, Meng Li uncorked the bottle, and a refreshing fragrance instantly enveloped her, "This! This is spirit dew, how did you get it?"

"Obtained by refining the spirit plants here," Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

Meng Li was overjoyed and planted a kiss on Lin Fan's cheek, "I love it so much!" As she spoke, Meng Li gulped down the small bottle of spirit dew, and suddenly, ripples of Qi waves emanated from her body, carrying a faint, elegant orchid fragrance.

With just that one small bottle, Meng Li's cultivation level broke through several layers, reaching the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

Meng Li returned the empty bottle to Lin Fan, somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry, it was so delicious that I couldn't help but drink it all."

Lin Fan smiled faintly, "Nonsense, I have plenty of this stuff. Look." Lin Fan reached into his pocket and lifted a cluster of exquisite small bottles; each one sealed with the rare and precious spirit dew. They lay quietly in Lin Fan's palm, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Meng Li's eyes lit up as she watched, and she whispered, "Can you give this to me?"

"Of course." As he spoke, Lin Fan shoved the whole cluster of small bottles into Meng Li's hands. He then pointed to the separation and intake device in the distance, "That is my extraction device. There is still a lot inside, and I can't pack it all. You go ahead and pack it."

Meng Li nodded, "I'll pack it, and we will split it equally."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement and remained silent. He knew that he currently possessed a large amount of fiber nano-Materials, semiconductor nano-Materials, and metal nano-Materials.

Fiber nano-Materials have extremely high strength and toughness. These Materials can be used as the skeleton or support structure for engineering robots, making the robots lighter and sturdier.

By utilizing the flexibility of fiber nano-Materials, one can design robot joints and surface coverings (similar to "skin") with high flexibility and adaptability. This design allows robots to move and operate more flexibly in complex environments.

Semiconductor nano-Materials have wide applications in the field of sensors. By integrating nano-sensors (such as quantum dot-based gas sensors, pressure sensors, etc.), engineering robots can achieve precise perception and real-time monitoring of environmental parameters. Furthermore, semiconductor nano-Materials can also be used to manufacture high-performance processors and controllers, improving the robots' computing power and response speed.

Certain semiconductor nano-Materials (such as solar cell Materials) can be used to create efficient energy collection Systems, providing robots with a continuous power supply. At the same time, the application of nano-Materials in battery technology (such as nano-electrode Materials in lithium-ion batteries) can also increase the robots' energy storage density and usage efficiency.

Metal nano-Materials have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and can be used to manufacture key components for engineering robots, such as transmission gears, bearings, and connectors. These components can still maintain good performance and stability when subjected to high loads and harsh environments.

At the same time, metal nano-Materials have wide applications in the field of catalysis and can be used to design robot Systems with self-repairing functions. By embedding nano-catalysts on the surface or inside the robot, self-repair and regeneration of the robot's Materials can be achieved, extending the robot's service life and reducing maintenance costs.

By combining these three types of nano-Materials, Lin Fan can construct powerful and highly adaptable engineering robots. Equipped with the spiritual-to-electric cores he has researched over the years, they can continuously convert Spiritual Qi into electrical energy.

With the addition of engineering robots, Lin Fan can have as much spirit dew as he wants. The little bit that Meng Li packed was merely a drop in the ocean.

However, Lin Fan did not intend to use the engineering robots just yet; he had been stuck at the ninth stage of Body Refining for several years and had long found it difficult to achieve a Breakthrough.

Yesterday's wild exercise with Meng Li had finally given him signs of a Breakthrough.

Now, he could use the act of felling spirit plants to help himself break through to the tenth stage of Body Refining, condense his Qi Sea, and break through to the Qi Refining Realm.

Wood chips flew, and in no time, spirit plants fell to the ground one after another. A wave of red Qi erupted from Lin Fan's body, and immediately, Spiritual Qi began to converge toward him.

The Qi Sea was formed; Lin Fan had finally broken through to the Qi Refinement Stage.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan gulped down several bottles of spirit dew from his waist, and ripples of white Qi waves surged outward.

In one breath, Lin Fan broke through to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Stage before he stopped.

This display left Meng Li, who was watching from afar, dumbfounded; he had just broken through to the Qi Refinement Stage, and he was already at the Peak of the Qi Refining Stage.

When Lin Fan returned, Meng Li said worriedly, "Your Breakthrough is too fast; it's easy for your Foundation to become unstable. You need to slow down."

"It's fine, I have a thick skin and sturdy flesh; I can handle it." As he spoke, Lin Fan quickly manipulated the nano cube.

Three streams of nano-unit particles surged out, quickly reorganizing and constructing themselves. Amidst flashing lights, three engineering robots quietly appeared.

Lin Fan commanded the engineering robots, "Collect spirit plants and place them into the separation and intake device. Keep an eye out for metal Ore during collection and prioritize collecting them."

Meng Li was completely stunned. These were alchemy constructs that could understand human speech, yet Lin Fan had forged several of them in an instant without needing to forge parts one by one. What was this?!

While Meng Li was dazed, Lin Fan had already sat cross-legged and begun the process of Qi Condensation to form dew, preparing to break through to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

Meng Li simply could not understand these actions, "Your Foundation isn't even solid yet; aren't you afraid your Realm will fall and you'll become a Mortal?"

However, Lin Fan had already entered a meditative state, with Qi vortices rotating around him. It was clear that he had entered the process of Qi Condensation to form dew and could not hear what Meng Li was saying at all.

With the addition of the engineering robots, the spirit dew, which had initially been just a few drops, eventually became like an opened faucet. Meng Li couldn't keep up at all.

Fortunately, the engineering robots seemed to have already realized this. Two pipelines were connected to the biological molecule cabin and the nano-particle cabin respectively, while behind them was the warehouse that the engineering robots had just built.

Meng Li was stunned; she smacked her lips, wanting to say something but unable to find the words. In the end, she had to sit cross-legged and began to Cultivate as well.

Time began to fall into a routine; they would Cultivate when awake and sleep when tired, living an unashamed and dissolute life.

Three months later.

The Spiritual Qi within the entire underground space was pulled by an invisible force, gathering frantically to form visible vortices of spiritual power that slowly rotated around Lin Fan.

This spiritual power was a thousand times denser than in ordinary places. It wove through the fissures, reflecting off the fluorescent plants, weaving together strange and surreal pictures.

Lin Fan circulated the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art, guiding this massive amount of spiritual power to converge into his Dantian. As strands of golden light burst forth, a Golden Core quietly formed within Lin Fan's Dantian, slowly rotating and crystal clear.

Lin Fan laughed heartily, "Left Sword Envoy Yun Che, I want to see how you will defeat me."
