Chapter 748 Mechanical Core
Li Qian did not hesitate and immediately shifted his gaze and focused his attention on Li Lanying.

To be exact, it was a pile of rotten meat.

Because now Li Lanying no longer looks like a human being.

He walked over quickly and took a drop of blood from Li Lanying's eyebrow.

The blood from his brow dripped onto the obsidian crystal.

On the obsidian crystal, the rune was completely activated because of the dripping of blood from the forehead.

One by one, the runes began to extend like meridians.

In just a blink of an eye, the runes covered the entire obsidian crystal.

The entire palm-sized piece of obsidian crystal began to emit a faint luster all over, lingering in the air.

"Let go of the Obsidian Crystal." Ling saw that Li Qian was still holding the Obsidian Crystal tightly and reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Li Qian let go of the obsidian crystal without hesitation.

Li Qian let go of the obsidian crystal, but the obsidian crystal, which was surrounded by a hazy glow, did not fall to the ground.

Instead, it was suspended strangely in the air.

Li Qian stared at the obsidian crystal floating in the air, watching it fly slowly and finally stop at the center of Li Lanying's eyebrows.

Just as Li Qian was staring, something unexpected happened the next moment.

The palm-sized obsidian crystal turned into a ray of light and sank into the center of Li Lanying's eyebrows.

Then, one could see that Li Lanying's body was radiating light, as if she was covered with a layer of light film.

It looks sacred and strange.

Li Qian was still concentrating on observing. After about five minutes, something unexpected happened again...

A spiritual force spread out - spreading out from Li Lanying's body.

Zero had the highest level of strength and the most powerful mental power, and was the first to notice this spreading mental power.

After noticing the spreading spiritual power, he immediately opened his mouth and ordered, "Take out another piece of material."

Upon hearing the sound, Li Qian took action immediately and took out another material from the black box.

A grey stone!

The stone is about the size of a watermelon, and runes are covered all over it.

Lan Ling glanced at the gray stone and immediately recognized its identity, "Ghost Bud Stone!"

This time, he did not comment on the runes on the ghost bud stone.

Obviously, these runes were beyond his understanding.

Li Qian took out the Ghost Bud Stone and focused his gaze on Ling again.

Zero nodded and continued to instruct, "Same as before."

Li Qian took a deep breath, walked to Li Lanying, and took another drop of blood from her eyebrow.

The blood from his brow dripped onto the Ghost Bud Stone and in the blink of an eye seeped into the interior of the Ghost Bud Stone, or rather, was completely swallowed up by the Ghost Bud Stone.

After swallowing Li Lanying's blood from the center of her eyebrows, the Ghost Bud Stone began to wriggle as if it had been resurrected.

Yes, it started to move!

Under Li Qian's somewhat astonished gaze, the ghost bud stone turned into a dozen tentacles about the thickness of Mo's thumb.

Lan Ling saw the surprise in Li Qian's eyes and knew that he didn't know the characteristics of the Ghost Bud Stone, so she explained to him: "Ghost Bud Stone is an extremely rare and special extraordinary material, especially for mechanical life forms, it is hard to find."

"In essence, Ghost Bud Stone is actually an active metal. Its greatest function is to devour flesh and blood and turn into liquid metal." "Devour flesh and blood?" Hearing Lan Ling's words, a look of surprise emerged in Li Qian's eyes, and then he focused his gaze on Li Lanying.

Just as he had guessed, the tentacles transformed from the ghost bud stone quickly climbed onto Li Lanying's body.

Visible to the naked eye, these gray tentacles began to drill into Li Lanying's flesh.

This scene looked extremely bloody. If Ling and Lan Ling had not remained motionless, Li Qian would have been unable to resist taking action.

Next, in just a few breaths, Li Lanying's flesh and blood body was devoured by a dozen gray tentacles transformed from the ghost bud stone.

A dozen gray tentacles devoured Li Lanying's flesh and blood and began to spread and wrap around her, soon transforming into a ball again.

A ball about the size of a watermelon!
There were runes flashing on the surface of the ball, sometimes brightening up and sometimes dimming down, in a very regular pattern, just like a beating heart.

"I think I guessed something..."

Lan Ling stared at the ball with flashing runes for a moment, then muttered to herself, "I have to say, if we build the core in this way, our future achievements, or the upper limit, will indeed be very high."

Ling shook his head slightly, not quite agreeing with Lan Ling's statement, "We can only guarantee the lower limit, which should not be lower than the legendary level. As for the upper limit, no one can say for sure about such things."

After hearing what Ling said, Lan Ling nodded slightly.

He agreed, "That's true."

Li Qian ignored the "riddle" between Lan Ling and Ling. He knew very well that it was meaningless to listen to it at this moment because he was not at that level yet.

In fact, at this moment, all his mental strength was concentrated on Li Lanying, or to be exact, on the ball.

He opened his mouth and asked Xiang Ling, "What should we do next?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the gray ball that was constantly flashing runes.

Zero glanced at the ball and said calmly, "Wait!"

"Now, there is nothing we can do. We can only wait until the fire inside is fully nurtured and formed."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ling interrupted, "You, the Obsidian Civilization, call the mechanical core a spark... that's quite appropriate..."

After hearing what Ling said, Li Qian finally felt relieved.

Since Ling said he would wait, then now, all we can do is wait.

"Go out and talk to them first. This process won't be quick. It will probably take until very late tonight. Let those who need to go back to the base go back to the base, and those who need to go home go back home." Ling looked at the ball floating in the air, turned his head and gave Li Qian an order.

Li Qian heard this and nodded.

He wasted no time and left the operating room.

After a while, he returned to the operating room again. He found a place in silence and sat down cross-legged.

Outside the operating room, he had persuaded everyone else to go back.

Just like Zero said, there is no point in them staying outside.

The gestation process is not that fast. It will take until quite late tonight. Others can leave first, but he is different. He must stay here all the time to avoid any accidents.

Although if an accident really happened, he wouldn't be able to help.

"Then I'll leave too. If you have any problems, you can contact Director Pan. I'll be here anytime." After taking a glance at the scene in the operating room, Lan Ling said goodbye.

Even without watching, he knew what would happen next, and there was no point in staying.

Zero looked at him and nodded.

Seeing that Ling nodded in agreement, Li Qian naturally had no objection.
