C.842: Attempting Soul Refinement
TL : BluVerse
Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred and he immediately nodded. His spiritual power moved slightly, sensing the Heavy Silver being calcined on the forging table.
The intense fire elements continuously drilled into the Heavy Silver, causing it to undergo subtle changes in the high temperature. When Lan Xuanyu’s consciousness merged with the fire elements, he suddenly felt as if he had turned into them, and was causing changes to the Heavy Silver.
Nana was right. When he entered this kind of state, this piece of Heavy Silver had no more secrets in front of him, and every trace of change appeared clearly in his spiritual sense.
Time passed, and suddenly, Lan Xuanyu felt a strange sensation rising in his heart. The calcination of the Heavy Silver should be just right. Subconsciously, he directly pressed the button on the forging table, causing the Heavy Silver to rise up from below.
The forging table has a set time for different metals to be annealed, and at this time, the time that Lan Xuanyu let the silver rise is slightly different from the setting.
But Lan Xuanyu was particularly surprised. Each piece of metal, even if it’s the same kind, was unique, and no metal’s internal structure was exactly the same. So while the annealing time for each piece of metal may be very similar, there will always be subtle differences.
At this moment, he can accurately judge the optimal state of the silver during annealing, which undoubtedly takes his understanding of the silver to another level. Perfect annealing is also very beneficial for his forging!
This was the benefit of exploring the silver through the perception of fire elements.
With his eyes narrowed, Lan Xuanyu swung his forging hammer without hesitation.
At this moment, the silver ingot was still in a state of intense heat, glowing red all over. With the help of the fire element, its overall structure was completely exposed in Lan Xuanyu’s consciousness.
“Dang dang dang, dang dang dang!” Six consecutive strikes, without any special heavy or extreme force, but each strike was perfectly forged in the most suitable place, with power instantly infused with soul power and bloodline power, causing the silver ingot to ring out a pleasant sound.
Suddenly, the light brightened, and this piece of silver ingot clearly became different Hundred Refined successfully!
Six hammer strikes and a successful Hundred Refined this was definitely Lan Xuanyu’s fastest ever. He wasn’t as exaggerated as Mister Le, but what kind of cultivation was Mister Le compared to Lan Xuanyu? He was able to complete a Hundred Refined in such a short time because he thoroughly understood this silver ingot through the fire element.
Moreover, at this moment, the Heavy Silver was still in a hot state, and the fire element had not dissipated, so he could still clearly sense the overall situation and every subtle change of the Heavy Silver.
The forging did not pause, and Lan Xuanyu’s hammering became faster and faster. A series of strikes sounded, each hammer blow powerful and precise. His physical strength had also increased significantly, and in this state, the effect of forging metal naturally improved greatly.
Thirty-six consecutive hammer strikes fell, accompanied by a dazzling light rising. A halo, also about a yard high, surged up. This was first-grade Thousand Refinement with Spirit.
In this state of first-grade Thousand Refinement, the effect of the metal forged by Lan Xuanyu was not inferior to the effect of the metal forged by Mister Le earlier.
Tang Le’s eyes lit up. Lan Xuanyu had made tremendous progress. Not only had his speed increased by two-thirds, but the quality of his forging had also greatly improved.
The more solid the foundation, the easier it was to continue improving the forging effect.
Lan Xuanyu focused his mind and poured his bloodline power into the forging hammer. With each strike, he received clear feedback from the process of forging. The feedback from the fire element and the sound of the metal during forging clearly told him where the next strike should land and what kind of power it should carry.
His hammering speed began to slow down, but each strike was just right, nearly perfect. Even if it was Mister Le, he couldn’t find any flaws.
Ten minutes later! Accompanied by a loud dragon roar, clear dragon patterns appeared on the surface of the Heavy Silver, even more clearly than the dragon patterns that appeared on the Heavy Silver previously forged by Mister Le. They were just slightly different.
The metal forged by Lan Xuanyu became even brighter, while its temperature remained high, which was maintained by the fire element he controlled. With the fire element present, it was also more conducive to his perception and understanding of the metal.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, he knew that the most critical moment had arrived. He concentrated his spiritual energy and the forging hammer fell once again. He didn’t have the same strong spiritual power as Mister Le, and the amount of spiritual energy that each hammer blow could bring out was limited. Therefore, he made his hammer lighter and carefully felt the changes in the life force caused by his spiritual energy surging into the already Spirit Refined Heavy Silver.
He was meticulous in his forging, like a craftsman carefully carving his work, and the process of forging was presented almost perfectly in front of Le and Nana.
Both of them observed carefully, feeling Lan Xuanyu’s forging and the changes he had made in all directions.
In the past, even with Nana’s guidance, Lan Xuanyu still needed to focus on controlling the fire element. It was impossible for him to control the fire element so greatly and obtain feedback to such an extent.
But now everything was different. Everything had changed. He was like the king of the fire element, and with just one command, all the fire elements would help him handle everything perfectly.
Under the infusion of the fire element, the Heavy Silver was like an open chest, presenting everything clearly in Lan Xuanyu’s perception.
Every gentle tap with spiritual power was an attempt, an attempt to feel the metal’s feedback. For a blacksmith, judging the feedback was the most important thing. But the integration of the fire element made it much easier and clearer for Lan Xuanyu to feel the feedback.
A faint smile appeared on his face as Lan Xuanyu gradually felt how to stimulate the silver in the best way possible, to stimulate its life force and even absorb the life force in the air and the bloodline power he had infused during the forging process.
It was a very strange feeling. Like he was creating a life and then endowing it with intelligence.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, when Lan Xuanyu felt that the silver had peaked, he struck the final bottleneck with a hammer naturally and effortlessly.
As if there was a “clang” sound, in the next moment, an extremely joyful emotion surged out and radiated outward.
Unlike the sharpness emitted by the Soul Refined metal of Mister Le, the silver ingot forged by Lan Xuanyu seemed to be more peaceful and joyful in its emotions. It was filled with a friendly emotion, releasing it towards Lan Xuanyu, and even had an eager feeling of wanting to become a part of his body.
As consciousness gradually returned, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes gradually widened. “Is this a success?”
The originally bright silver metal shrank to only one-third of its original size. In terms of volume, it was much smaller than the one forged by Mister Le. Lan Xuanyu’s forging level was still far from comparable to Mister Le’s.
On this small piece of heavy silver, golden patterns were faintly visible. Amidst the patterns, a slight dragon chant echoed joyfully, and the dragon patterns on the metal surface were even constantly changing as if a small golden dragon was wandering within. Moreover, a layer of red halo filled with the fire element was also blooming on the surface of the metal.
It was the fire element that was sealed in it during the forging process, which was constantly being transmitted to Lan Xuanyu with the metal waves. They had completely merged with this piece of Heavy Silver, which meant that this Soul Refined metal was also given the fire attribute. This did not mean that it would breathe fire, but it would make it more friendly to all fire attributes and have a stronger amplification effect.
