Chapter 299: Chapter 254: Blending of Ice and Thunder_1

Jiang Yunqi came and went in a hurry, and about half a moment later, he brought back a large amount of lead, tin, and mercury.

When he arrived at the training field, he saw Li Xuan holding a lump of water in his hand, surrounded by lightning, making a crackling sound.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Yunqi looked puzzled: "Is it related to the blending of ice and thunder?"

"I’m using electrolysis to create a gas called hydrogen," Li Xuan explained. "Uncle, watch closely."

Only then did Jiang Yunqi notice a cluster of strange ’gas’ hovering above Li Xuan’s palm. This gas was very light and seemed to be dissipating upward, but was forcibly held there by Li Xuan’s Zhenyuan.

"Actually, this thing called hydrogen is already in the air, mostly at the top of the sky. My power is limited so I cannot directly extract and use it. The only thing I can do is create it on the spot. The same goes for carbon dioxide, which can be used to make dry ice, and nitrogen, which can have a similar effect when liquefied. However, I can’t draw them in either, and even if I could, I wouldn’t be able to separate them. Their critical temperatures are all higher than liquid hydrogen."

By the time Li Xuan had finished speaking, that lump of hydrogen had grown to the size of a water tank. In his eyes, a glimmer of brilliance flashed: "Uncle, watch closely, next, I will use it as a medium and use lightning to cool it."

The moment Li Xuan’s words fell, the lightning began to change, coordinating with the Zhenyuan Li Xuan released, gradually generating high pressure, compressing the hydrogen gas bit by bit into a liquid.

"This is——"

Jiang Yunqi watched closely, a glimmer of astonishment flashing in his eyes. He noticed that the temperature around the lump of gas had risen somewhat during this process, and a large amount of heat had been released.

"Next, I will release the pressure."

As Li Xuan released the high pressure, the liquid hydrogen instantly transformed into a cloud of white gas, and the surrounding air temperature rapidly decreased.

"Using thunder to produce ice? Is there such a thing?"

Ecstasy was now written all over Jiang Yunqi’s face. His internal Zhenyuan was stirring and even boiling at this moment.

Just seeing this scene performed by Li Xuan could dramatically lower the difficulty for him to break through to the heavenly level.

"So how do you use ice to create thunder? Is it related to superconductivity you mentioned?"

His eyes were filled with expectation at this moment, he was desperate to see what this superconductivity Li Xuan mentioned was all about.

"No, using ice to create thunder is a bit more complicated," Li Xuan contemplated, scratching his head. He couldn’t outright tell him that his method involved visualizing a complete set of thermal power generators, could he?

He had previously watched videos on his phone of several ingenious people handcrafting various parts of miniature thermal power generators and then assembling them to convert mechanical energy into alternating current.

He could always have Leng Yurou help him make the generator from his memory to show Jiang Yunqi later on. But that definitely wasn’t possible for now.

Besides, this method was quite crude and was only a temporary measure for his fusion of ice and thunder.

Once his powers were strong enough and he had the necessary materials, he could directly carry out a nuclear fusion experiment with ’tritium’. Wouldn’t it be tempting to visualize a nuclear fusion on the spot?

The visualization technique could only visualize phenomena he had seen. Li Xuan hadn’t seen what nuclear fusion looked like, but when his abilities were sufficient enough, he could directly carry out a nuclear fusion experiment.

Theoretically, once the temperature and pressure were high enough, tritium could undergo fusion.

What modern technology can’t achieve, might not necessarily be impossible in this Immortal World, which is filled with various magical materials and divine skills.

You should know that the temperature of liquid tritium is very low, it can also be said that it is the creation of thunder from ice — then he could further derive and practice fire and light.

"My method of using ice to create thunder may not be of much help to Uncle. But the superconductivity that I’m going to show Uncle next will achieve the blending of ice and thunder."

While saying this, Li Xuan held a lump of tin in his hand. As tremendous amounts of lightning surged in his hand, the lump of tin quickly melted.

What he was doing was removing the impurities from the tin. In the upcoming experiment, the purer the tin, the better.

Next, Li Xuan stretched the lump of tin into a wire shape and coiled it around the training field.

After doing all this, Li Xuan bowed to Jiang Yunqi: "Uncle, I need your help to reduce the temperature of these tin wires to the lowest possible. The lower, the better!"

From what he knew, the critical temperature for tin to exhibit superconductivity is -269.43℃.

With his current cultivation level, there was no way he could achieve this. He can only get a very small area to reach -270℃. There was no way to spread this temperature to the tin wire, which is more than a hundred meters long.

"The lowest temperature I can achieve? That’s simple,"

Jiang Yunqi’s eyebrows arched, and he grabbed the end of the tin wire in his hand, simultaneously injecting a strong cold power into it.

Fearing that the temperature might not reach Li Xuan’s requirement, he poured all his cold power continuously into it without any reservation.

Not only did it bring the temperature of the tin wire to a very low state, but also a vast amount of cold power overflowed from the wire, silently freezing the ground around them.

"This is the limit of what I can do now, what should I do next?"

Li Xuan sensed it with his mind for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Next, Uncle, you can try to input lightning into this tin wire, remember to keep the temperature of the tin wire."

Jiang Yunqi, at this moment, had an ominous feeling. He was extremely nervous like never before. He took a deep breath and looked at Li Xuan. Then, he started to generate lightning in his right hand.

The next instant, Jiang Yunqi felt a buzz in his head and his entire body was trembling. It seemed like a current was passing through his body: "This is—no loss at all? The power of the thunder that I inputted didn’t lose any strength at all? No, not only that, the speed of the spread of the lightning is so fast that it’s unbelievable! Is this the superconductivity you were talking about, Xuan?"

At this time, his Gang Qi was also violently fluctuating. Soon, it surged out unintentionally, overflowing in all directions, turning one side of the schoolyard into icy hell and the other into a sea of thunder and lightning.

Li Xuan was shocked and hastily moved his body, quickly retreating to fifty feet away, but the astonishing coldness and the lightning filled with destructive power still attacked him.

Li Xuan had no choice but to unleash a ’Rise to the Sky’, leaping directly into the sky amid the lightning and landing gently on a nearby eave.

Meanwhile, an astonishing phenomenon was taking place in the martial arts field. The cold air and the lightning were merging harmoniously with each other.

They were no longer repelling and exploding each other like when Li Xuan had arrived earlier, but blending together. The ice fog spread in all directions, and the wild thunder that Jiang Yunqi released filled it.

The loss in these ice mists was zero, and the speed at which they bombarded and overflowed in all directions was close to light, invisible and uncatchable.

—This phenomenon was unphysical and unscientific, yet it was happening right before Li Xuan’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yunqi was also laughing loudly, feeling incredibly comfortable, joyful, and strongly excited.

"So that’s how it is, I’ve found my way! I’ve found my way!"

He kept repeating this phrase and, perhaps involuntarily, his voice was filled with powerful Zhenyuan. His words caused the whole Jiang Mansion, even the surrounding area, to tremble.

"What’s going on?" At this moment, Jiang Hanyun had flown into the sky and landed beside Li Xuan: "What is my father doing? What is he raving about? Everyone in the mansion is having their eardrums nearly shattered by him."

As she looked at the martial arts field, she froze in place: "What is this? Blending of ice and thunder? My father, he achieved the blending of ice and thunder?"

"What blending? What enlightenment?"

Lady Jiang also flashed her figure to arrive above the roof where they were standing, and looked toward the martial arts field, her face also showing shock. Then she showed a look of ecstasy: "Did he break through? After being blocked below the heavenly level for seven years, this old man’s head was about to swell, but now he finally made this step. It’s impressive!"

However, there was also a hint of sadness and melancholy in Lady Jiang’s eyes.

She knew that the day Jiang Yunqi stepped above the heavenly level would mean that one day, they would have to part.

A Wu cultivator above the heavenly level was no longer an ordinary man and had a lifespan of no less than three hundred years. If cared for properly, it would not be difficult to live for five hundred years.

She knew she couldn’t accompany her husband to the end—in Jiang Yunqi’s long journey, she could only occupy a tiny part.

Jiang Hanyun didn’t overthink things. She felt both happy and surprised: "How come my father, who was still frowning yesterday, suddenly managed to blend ice and thunder?"

Lady Jiang was also perplexed: "It’s indeed abrupt. Yesterday, he told me mournfully that if he could not do it in half a year, he would try to find a divine treasure and use the blood refining secret technique to establish a trap and die together with Li Zhetian. He couldn’t leave this disaster to us, mother and daughter."

"Did he actually say such a thing?" Jiang Hanyun was extremely surprised. She never expected that her father had such a resolute idea.

She felt a sense of relief mixed with fear: "Fortunately, he had a breakthrough. With his abilities, he will definitely be able to confront Li Zhetian in half a year!"

"That’s for sure."

At this moment, the voice of Jiang Yunqi suddenly reached them. He had already stopped laughing loudly and gathered all of his Zhenyuan Gangqi that was dispersed outside back into his body: "Come here and talk."

When all three of them arrived at the martial arts field as told, Jiang Yunqi bowed to Li Xuan: "I am extremely grateful for your help today, Xuan!"

Li Xuan hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to accept Jiang Yunqi’s grand ceremony. But both Lady Jiang and Jiang Hanyun were looking at Li Xuan in extreme bewilderment.

They were wondering if Jiang Yunqi’s opportunity to integrate ice and thunder today had something to do with Li Xuan? What was going on?
