    After Night Demon fell through the floor, the procession stopped in the wilderness as per usual.


    Within the stone room, Su Chen began his experiments — Night Demon wanted to sleep there again, but she was quickly chased out by Su Chen. He needed to do something important this time and couldn’t afford to let Night Demon bug him like before.


    Today’s experiment was going to be different than normal. Su Chen pulled out the stone tablet.


    Patelocke’s expression was a bit anxious. “Are you sure this will seed?”


    “It should,” Su Chen replied. “It’s not really an experiment, and more so making a small change.”


    “But this small change is rted to my survival! If you fail, I’ll be done for!” Patelocke said agitatedly.


    Su Chen shrugged his shoulders. “Truthfully speaking, that isn’t an oue that I can’t ept.”


    Patelocke’s expression sagged. “Don’t be like that. I have followed you faithfully for these past few years and have never betrayed you. Even if I haven’t aplished anything particrly huge, I have still worked hard.”


    “You think that I’m out to get you now? “Su Chen countered. “If you don’t want to, we don’t have to do anything.”


    “...... You know that’s not what I meant. I just want a more trustworthy guarantee,” Patelocke said with some embarrassment. “For instance, we could try it out on a different spirit first.”


    “That’s not possible.” Su Chen shook his head. “I won’t go and kill someone else for you, and this kind of experiment will only work if the other party cooperates. I cannot possibly use a malevolent spirit to do my research. Of course, if you’re willing to wait a bit longer......”


    “Forget about it.” Patelocke shook his head. “I’ve had enough of sitting around in this stone tablet with nowhere to go. I’m desperate to regain my own freedom, even if there’s some risk to it. I don’t want to wait any longer.”


    When he heard this, Su Chenughed. “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”


    He began to concoct some medicine.


    In the blink of an eye, ten or so vials had appeared.


    After concocting the medicine, Su Chen carefully took out the Mountain-Beheading de.


    He then carefully poured the medicine onto the surface of the de,yer afteryer.


    With everyyer that he added, Su Chen also engraved Origin Formation inscriptions onto the de’s surface, just like how he had done so when making the Shadow me Glove.


    This was a slow and drawn-out process. It wasn’t until he had applied the fifthyer and added the fourthyer of inscriptions that he stopped.


    The Mountain-Beheading de began to glow with a faint blue light. The blue light was mysterious and actually seemed a bit simr to the stone tablet’s glow.


    Next, Su Chen picked up a vial of ck medicine and poured it onto the Spirit Tablet.


    The medicine traced the engravings on the surface of the Spirit Tablet, slowly filling them in. Patelocke began to yell anxiously, “It hurts, it hurts! I haven’t felt this much pain in such a long time! This is right, this is definitely a consciousness-type medicine! Your idea was spot-on!”


    “This was originally Kapius’s idea. I justpleted what he was unable to do...... He wasn’t an aplished alchemist,” Su Chen replied slowly.


    Patelocke’s originally spectre-like body began to slowly congeal, as if he were taking on actual physical form.


    Once the final bit of medicinended on the stone tablet, white smoke began to waft from its surface.


    Patelocke reached out his hand and pressed it on Su Chen’s.


    “I touched it! I can touch things now!” he said excitedly.


    “Congrattions, but this is only the beginning. Now, I’m going to move you away from the stone tablet,” Su Chen said as slowly lifted his hand. Patelocke stood on Su Chen’s hand, actually separating from the Spirit Tablet.


    After his spirit body had taken on a physical form, Patelocke wouldn’t need the Spirit Tablet ever again.


    In some sense, he was a Spirit Race individual right now.


    This was the Spirit Race’s invention and what Kapius had pursued his whole life — turning others into Spirit Race individuals.


    However, he failed in the end.


    Of the secrets that Kapius had left behind in West Laina Castle, one of them was his preliminary thoughts on the Radiation n. However, this n required a deep foundation in alchemy. Kapius’s talent in alchemy was only so-so, so he had never managed toplete this n of his. As soon as Su Chen saw his initial research, however, Su Chen discovered that he was only a hair’s breadth away frompleting the n that Kapius had left behind.


    He then easily traversed that distance and fulfilled Kapius’s dream.


    Of course, this wasn’t the same as fulfilling his grand n of turning living organisms into Spirit Race individuals. The Spirit Substantiation Medicine could only cause a spirit to take on physical form for a limited period of time before dissipating shortly after.


    But for Su Chen, that was more than enough.


    Next, Su Chen transferred Patelocke’s substantiated spirit body into the Mountain-Beheading de. “Look, this is your new home.”


    Patelocke flew into the Mountain-Beheading de. His figure shimmered slightly before disappearing.


    Su Chen watched as a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the handle of the de and blinked at him a few times before a pair of wings also sprouted from the de.


    The de began to fly through the air on its own.


    A mouth appeared below the pair of eyes, speaking with Patelocke’s voice: “You seeded! I have a body now! Haha, transferring me into a de, that is really a creative way of doing things.”


    “I was inspired by those inanimate objects that we ran into.”


    Su Chen was only using the Spirit Substantiation Medicine to transfer Patelocke from one object to another. His true goal was to move him over to the Mountain-Beheading de.


    The Mountain-Beheading de was covered in Origin Formation inscriptions and ayer of medicine, creating an environment that was simr to the Spirit Tablet. No, it was actually better. Patelocke could mesh with the de more effectively and even control it. As of now, he was the de, and the de was him.


    Su Chen said, “Try out yourbat ability.”


    As he spoke, he aimed a punch at the Mountain-Beheading de. The Primordial Blood Incarnation’s hand surged towards the de, carrying with it a frightening aura of extermination.


    The de automatically flew into the air without anyone controlling it. It shed in the direction of Su Chen’s punch, causing the momentum from it to actually split. The de floated in the air for a second, then charged immediately at Su Chen’s throat.


    Su Chen unleashed three punches in a row to forcibly knock the de aside. The de circled around again in midair,pletely brushing the attacks off. The transparent wings sprouting from it appeared extremely strange as it floated in midair.


    “Is it sturdier than before? No, now that it has a consciousness, it knows how to avoid and mitigate danger...... Hey, it seems pretty useful,” Su Chenughed.


    “It’s not just useful; this is an incredible discovery!” Patelocke began to yell. “You’ve managed to give inanimate objects consciousness! And you’ve managed to allow spirits to escape the Spirit Tablet so that they can be transferred back and forth, as well as give your weapon the ability to attack autonomously. If this spreads, it will definitely shake the entire Primordial Continent!”


    All of a sudden, Patelocke froze. “I say, you aren’t nning on selling this as well, are you?”


    Su Chen replied indifferently, “I haven’t spent my billion Origin Stones yet. I’m in no waycking any money.”


    Patelocke sighed with relief. “That’s what I think too. People should think a little more carefully and not just buy everything theye across.”


    “But it will definitely be sold in the future. One day, this skill will be somethingmon that anyone will be able to learn.”


    “...... I knew it would be something that.” Patelocke harrumphed. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “What are you going to call these new types of Origin Tools? From now on, this de is no longer just amon Origin Tool. You should give it a more impressive name.”


    Su Chen lowered his head in thought for awhile before replying, “Since these Origin Tools now have souls, let’s call them Soul Armaments.”


    “Alright! From this day onwards, the first Soul Armament has appeared on the Primordial Continent. From this day onwards, I will be the king of Soul Armaments!” Patelocke yelled excitedly.
